Chapter 2 : Regretting and Forgiving (Part 1)

" Come on Domon, we should get going…"-Rain insisted for the 4th time while Domon ignored her. It was sooo typical of him . He kept on slashing imaginary opponents with his rusty sword, and Rain looked up the sky. She knew it was going to rain pretty bad. She received a communication a few hours before telling her that a storm , a hurricane, was heading their way. She knew Domon wouldn't abandon the islands until he had mastered whatever he was up to , but at least she wanted him to get to safety.

"Domon , a storm is heading this way. Look up the sky."-she pointed at the dark clouds surrounding them. Then again , he didn't even bother to pay attention. Rain was starting to get mad . She knew the tent she had wouldn't stand the wind , and sincerely , she had no idea of a safe place in the middle of an island.

"Domon."

"Shut up Rain! Dammit!"

"Why are you like this?"

"Just leave me alone! Go away!"

Rain felt tears coming up but her anger made her stronger. "You are so insensitive ! Look , we're going to get hurt if we don't find a place to stay until the storm is over."

"No, you'll get hurt , I'll be fine. In fact… you slowed me down so many times. Just go and find a place for yourself!"-he looked straight at her , sword in hand , angry. Rain was deeply hurt but more scared that he would kill her. She just stared at him , and finally ran away.

Domon did regret what he said , but he had only one goal in his mind :his father. "Everything I do is for you , father." Then again , he deeply sighed , looking at the path that Rain had taken. Suddenly he looked up and a drop of rain felt on his cheek , then dozens followed. "I should get Rain"-he thought , and his idea was justified as thunderbolts began to strike.

Rain was wet and cold. The rain kept on falling on her while she made her way , a little clumsy , around the trees. She was tired , and hot tears were emerging from her eyes. Domons words kept on echoing on her mind , and frantically she was questioning herself why she put up with him. Well , she knew the answer , but it was starting to hurt her too much. She sneezed to only bump with a tree's roots and fall on the floor. A huge sob was suppressed inside her chest and she tried to get up. Her knee was hurting but she knew it was nothing when she was able to move her feet. She had no idea where to go , so she stood under the huge tree, letting the rain wash her away.

Rain had always been afraid of thunder , even though she pretended not to be when Domon was around her , but now that she was alone…she was really scared. She brought her hands up to her face and lowered her head. Then , something , or rather someone stroke her shoulder and Rain looked up. It was that creature , stubborn , selfish , with no manners or taste…who was damped , looking at her with beautiful brown eyes , and actually with a caring expression. Domon bent in front of her , taking her hands into his.

"Let's go Rain." Rain looked at him surprised , she was mad , confused , yet please that he was there.

"Domon…why …are you ?"

"Listen , let's get to a safe place ." Rain tried to get up but then her knee hurt again. She yelped and Domon held her.

"What's wrong?"

"I fell before."

"I see." He lifted her in his arms , causing Rain to blush , but she hid it while burring her face in his hair. Domon moved quickly , he almost ran. He had to core lander parked between some bushes , and when he got there , he deposited Rain inside , and sat to drive. He didn't know where to go , but he decided to stay away from the trees. On the other hand , he noticed Rain had fallen asleep in the back seat , and he was pleased she had no time to scream at him. Little he knew that her silence almost took her away from him hours later…
