Chapter 13: I can't let them see you.

"Huh? I'm fine Raven. I'm just going to change my clothes. I just noticed these are covered in blood." She walked into the bathroom not noticing the warm smile Raven was giving her back. She quickly changed into a baggy shirt and heavy baggy pants. ("Now this puts new meaning to the words Tom Boy!") She thought to herself. She took a quick glance in the mirror and saw Shadow looking at her through the crack in the door. She turned around and gave him a warm smile. He pressed the door open with his muzzle and trotted in. She laughed when he had her get on his back so he could carry her back out into the room where Raven was. "Looks like Shadow likes me too Raven."

"Ah Shadow. Put her down." He said with a smile while sitting up in the bed looking at his organoid. ("Well, my organoid and my Rain, they look so… Wait, my Rain?")

("Of course, why wouldn't you think that.") Shadow said prying into his mind. ("Those full lips, tan skin, silver hair, fighting skills, tall, skinny, and of all things, she likes you back.")

"All right all ready!" Raven busted out, not noticing he caught Rain's attention. "I get he point already."

"Get what point already Raven?" She asked settling down in the other side of the bed. "Were you daydreaming?"

"Huh, no. Shadow was prying into my mind. Again."

"Willow always did that to me."

"Willow? Oh, do you miss her?"

Rain went silent and Raven got a small frown on his face. ("Did I make her feel bad again?")

("HAH! SEE! I TOLD YOU THAT YOU LIKE HER!") Shadow screamed with joy.

"I heard that Shadow." Rain said as she looked over at him with a small barely noticeable smile. "Hey Raven, have you ever thought what it would be like to not have him with you anymore?"

"What? Oh Rain." He scooped her up in his arms and laid down completely on the bed holding her slowly sobbing body. He stroked her hair and whispered in her ear trying to get her to calm down. When she finally stopped crying he lifted up her face and gave her a soft yet passionate kiss. When he broke the kiss she had tears in her eyes again. "Hey, now no more tears. They'll put you in a bad mood."

She slowly nodded and placed her head on his chest. He wrapped on arm around her shoulders and the other on her back and pulled her on top of him and pulled the blankets over them and they both dozed off to sleep. The next morning Rain woke up to the sound of giggling, she listened a little more and found that it was MoonBay and Fiona. ("They must be taking a shower together.") She thought as she looked under her. Raven was still there, sound asleep. She reached down and started itching his nose with her finger, not even halfway awake he swatted her away. She made a small giggle and went back to tickling his nose. This time he grabbed her hand and opened his eyes. "Good morning sleepy head." She said as he let go of her hand and smiled.

He held the back of her neck and pulled her down into a kiss. They stayed like that for a moment until Raven got a sudden urge in the pit of his stomach. "Oh man." He said blushing. Rain being a smart-ass got off of him with a smirk as he ran straight to the bathroom.

"That was a very pretty color red, don't you think so Shadow?" She said getting up and listening to Shadows growl of approval. She picked up the unused bandages next to the bed than looking at the clock. "Damn, it's only five? I thought it would be just a little later. Well, as soon as he gets out of there I'm taking a shower." She walked over to the bathroom and leaned up against the wall. She heard a sigh of relief and the toilet flush. She wanted to bust out laughing but held the urge back. Raven walked out of the bathroom and looked at the bed. Rain came up and placed her hands over his eyes and giggled when he spun around in surprise. "Feel better?"

"Very funny. What are you doing up?"

"I need a shower."

"Bathrooms all yours. Uh? What time is it? I feel like I slept for about two hours or so."

"About six actually. It's a little after five in the morning."

"Really. Well, it was a comfortable sleep at least."

"Me laying on top of you all night is comfortable?"

He walked to her and tightly wrapped arm around her back and pulled as close as he could get her. He pulled into a deep kiss. She started to fell a little week and he picked her up off of the ground so she wouldn't topple over. He broke the kiss and just smirked. "Now that is my very abrupt answer."

"If that's an answer than I'm the best zoid pilot on planet Zi."

"If you say so." He kissed her one last time and than let her go so she could take a shower. After about ten minutes of listening to the running water he heard it shut off and about three minutes later out walks Rain with her hair soaking wet. "Now that's the look for you."

"Very funny." She replied as she pulled a towel onto her head and started to rub her hair with it. "It's your turn. That's if you want too."

"Sure. It'll be good for me."

"All right. Let me get my other clothes out of there first." She turned back to the bathroom but was pulled back into a very strong pair of arms. "Ok, we have one problem here."

"Uh." He said shocked. "What's that?"

"One. You can't take a shower with me in your arms. And two." She said looking up at his face. "Do you have any other clothes? These ones are torn and stained."

"I could take you in the shower with me. And no, I can get a new pair later though."

"What size do you wear?"

"What?"

"Ah come on, just tell me."

"I have no idea."

"Than turn around." She whirled him around and started playing with the back of his shirt and pants. "Hmm. It's a good thing I normally wear these kinds of clothes. Mine will fit you perfectly."

"You sure. I don't want to wear your clothes."

"It's fine. I'm supposed to wear what Fiona and Moonbay wear anyway." She threw a shirt and pair of pants at Raven. "Those will do for now."

"Thank you Rain." He said walking up to her and kissing her before walking into the bathroom. He sat in the shower for a minute before turning on the water. ("Why am I caring for her? Why do I like her so much? No. I can't do this. I'll get weak. But every time I see her I can't help but hold her. What is my problem?") He turned on the water and sat there thinking about those questions but got no answers. He washed his hair and was about to get out till he heard the bathroom door creak open. He peeked past the shower curtain and saw Rain laying a clean towel out for him. "Hello there."

She whirled around to face him. Her face going a deep crimson. "Uh, hi Raven. You, umm." She swallowed so hard that he could hear it over the sound of the shower. "You have a clean towel right there."

"Hand it to me please."

She handed it to him and tried to make it out the door but Raven caught her before she could. She had to admit she was curious to look but not that bad. She turned around and stared into his eyes. Pushing back every temptation to look down. "Umm." She finally choked out. "Yes Raven?"

He pushed her back away and looked at her stomach. "How is your side?"

She lifted her shirt to let him look at took her time by looking his whole body over. He had the towel hanging low on his hips, just barely being held up by his hand. His naked torso was dripping wet. He had a hard lean chest and stomach. Than she felt a sharp pain in her side when he cupped his hand to her side which made her double over in pain. He caught her in his arms and picked her. "That kinda hurt." She choked and laughed out at the same time holding her tears back. "What'd you do that for?"

"I'm sorry Rain. I didn't think it would hurt that bad."

"Its ok." She said starting to blush. She messed with his hair than got him to put her down. "I'll let yah get dressed now before that towel decides to reveal a little more than necessary."

She walked out of the bathroom and over to the coffeepot. Boy did she need a little pick me up after that. She soon set it up and had it brewing. She walked over to a chair and sat down. After a minute of zoning out, Rain noticed she was face to face with none other than Shadow. She looked into his eyes and smiled. At that time they got into a staring contest just for fun and to pass time by. Raven walked out as soon as he caught the scent of brewing coffee and just about fell over when he saw Shadow sitting in front of Rain and was almost literally in her lap as she smiled. "Well, it looks like I need to steal you back. Down Shadow."

("She started it!") Shadow whined as Raven got closer. ("Well she did!")

"I did no such thing Shadow." Rain teased as she wrapped her arms around the organoids neck. "You got in my face."

Raven finally pried Rain from Shadows neck so he could steel another kiss. After their kiss broke Rain ran over to the coffeepot and poured and Raven both a hot steaming cup. She handed one to him and he took it gratefully. One holding the cup, the other holding Rain's warm hand. He downed his coffee and Rain soon followed. They walked over to the bed and Raven sat down with Rain on his lap. He had her in a tight embrace with her head on his chest listening to his heart. "What time will your friends be here to get you Rain?"

"They'll come at eight. Which gives us a little over an hour left. Why?"

"Just wondering what would happen if that transporter or zoidian saw me. Or worse yet the lieutenant, the bounty hunter, or Flyheight."

"I can't let them see you Raven."

"I know. But I wish I could hold you in public."

"Oh you…" She pushed him on the bed and kissed him deeply. He rolled her over on her back and trailed kisses down her cheek, neck, and collarbone. But he didn't go any further. They just sat there and made out and snuggled with each other for almost an hour until Rain looked at the clock and got a sad look on her face. "It's almost eight Raven. I hate that you have to go."

"You'll see me again. I promise you that." He kissed her again before he and Shadow left from the Balcony.

A few minutes later Fiona came and started knocking on the door. "Just like clockwork. Coming Fiona."

She opened the door to get an eyeful of Fiona's beaming happy face. "Well Rain. How was your night?"

"Uh. It was great. You?"

"Fine. For the exception of that we can't find Thomas. He doesn't seem to be in his room at all. Could you check for us?"
