Author's Note: Hello again! I'm sorry, I forgot my disclaimer…well I do not own G Gundam or any of the characters. Well anyway, just in case, I might as well state this now… once school starts again, I probably won't update for a while. I blame only one teacher...well anyway, there's my little info now on to the story!
Chapter 3
Dr. Kasshu tensed once he realized what the meaning was for Dr. Mikamura's actions, but knew that no one could no at the moment. He knew that he had to change the subject before everyone started to get to get really suspicious.
"Well, I'm sure Dr. Mikamura is fine. Why don't we take Domon out to dinner?" Dr. Kasshu put on a fake smile that convinced everyone else.
"Yes, that's sounds like a plan. Are you all up for it?" Mrs. Kasshu smiled and asked the young adults. Everyone nodded and they headed out to Domon's favorite restaurant, a small little place that served great Japanese food.
At the Small Little Place that Served Great Japanese Food…
"That was great! I'm stuffed." Domon leaned back in his chair after eating five plates of tempura, fifteen different sushi, and a bowl of rice to top it all off. Everyone looked at Domon with wide open eyes as they watched Domon finish his food. "What?" Everyone just started laughing because they haven't had this much fun in a long time.
"Good to see your appetite hasn't changed Domon." Rain winked at Domon, remembering a time when Domon had eaten all fifteen pies that Rain had bought (because she couldn't cook) for a party in a matter of fifteen minutes. After that, Domon had a lot of scolding from Rain for the rest of the day. Rain smiled at the memory of her and Domon when they were both children, before he went away to train with Master Asia.
When Domon saw Rain wink at him, he had this feeling within him that made him blush. He was ready to protest, but then found that he had eaten so much that he could not really move any part of his body at the moment. Kyoji noticed this and laughed to see the King of Hearts struggle to move.
Once everyone was finished with their meals and Domon was able to move again, everyone headed back to the Kasshu House.
At the Kasshu House…
Everyone laughed at their great time at dinner as they started to enter the house; everyone except one particular person that is. As Rain was about to enter the house, Seitt pulled her away.
Rain was surprised by Seiit's action and wondered what was on his mind. She saw that he had a sad and desperate look on his face. His hands were shaking as he grabbed both her arms.
"Rain, I need to tell you something and a favor to ask of you."
Meanwhile…
Domon was laughing with Kyoji as he entered the house, but suddenly remembered that he had left his cloak in the car. "Hey Kyoji, I forgot my cloak. I'll be right back." Kyji just waved him off because he was still laughing at the joke said earlier (just think of one, I don't have any in mind).
After Domon retrieved his cloak, he headed back to his house, but heard some voices nearby. He decided to check it out and found Seitt nervously grabbing Rain by the arm. Domon got curious and decided to listen to the conversation.
Back with Rain & Seitt…
"Yes, what is it?" Rain was curious as to why her fiancée had suddenly become nervous. Seitt started to say something, but after three times of attempting to speak, Rain had finally gotten really worried about Seitt's health. She put her hand on his forehead to check if he had a fever, but Seitt just pulled her hand away.
"Rain, I'm not sick. It's just that, well…the government has asked me to become the gundam fighter for Neo-Turkey and I wanted to see if you were okay with it." Seitt was relieved that he said that part so far, but knew that the next part of his speech would cause some chaos.
"Well, I guess I'm okay with it. But I'll miss you while you're away-" Rain could not even finish her sentence as Seitt inturupted.
"See, that's the favor I wanted to ask you to do." Seitt decided just ask her straight out. "Rain, I'm going to be the gundam fighter for Neo-Turkey and I was wondering if you would be my partner." Rain had a shocked and frightened look on her face as she tried to decide how to answer Seitt's question. If Rain became the gundam crew member for Seitt, she would have to drop everything she had. She'd have to quite school and go down to Earth, following Seitt everywhere he went.
Back with Domon…
Domon was more than surprised at Seitt's sudden question to Rain. Now, Domon was really interested in the conversation and Rain's Reply to the whole thing. He moved closer to get better view of everything.
Back with Rain & Seitt…
"The gundam fight is a year isn't it?" Rain was delaying time for her answer.
"Yeah. Well, how about this. After the gundam fight, we could get married right away." Seitt was hoping that Rain would say yes because he did not want to be away from his fiancée for a year.
"Well, I'll have to give it some thought you know." Rain was nervous, to say the least, about answering Seitt's question.
"I would love to give you all of the time in the world, but the government wants me back by the end of the week." Seitt looked down to his feet. He was scared that Rain would say no because his fiancée was no doubt beautiful and if he was away for a whole year, one guy might steal Rain from him.
"The end of the week?! But that's tomorrow!" Rain was more than surprised that she had to decide what to do for the next year right now.
"Yes, I'm sorry for telling you this now. I wanted to tell you before I proposed, but I was afraid that you would get mad or something." That was mostly true, but he had planned to tell Rain about the gundam fight after he had proposed. That way, it would make a better chance that Rain would decide to go along with him on his journey.
"Well, I guess I choose to go then. After all, I am your fiancée and I should remain by your side." Rain put on a fake smile, but was disappointed that she had to be part of the gundam fight.
Seitt's face lightened up as he looked like a child who just received a bag full of toys. "That's great! We'll leave tomorrow morning then." Seitt had the biggest smile anyone could ask for. "Thank you, Rain."
Seitt and Rain headed back to the house as a certain someone stayed behind, filled with shock and disappointment.
Back with Domon…
Domon saw the couple coming his way so he ducked behind the nearby tree. When Rain and Seitt had entered the house, Domon just stood there, his face full of shock while his heart, disappointment. Before Domon went back home, he went out for a little walk around the neighborhood, to clear his mind.
Back with Everyone…
By the time Domon had returned to the house, Seitt and Rain had already left. When Domon entered the house, he had the most saddening look on his face. Kyoji was the only one to notice the sudden change in his brother's expression, but decided to ask about it later.
"Domon, where'd you go to? I thought you said that you were only going to get you cloak, but you're been gone for almost two hours now!" Kyoji said, having a hunch of where his younger brother had been.
"I just decided to take a little walk, that's all." Domon did not want the others to know that he had been spying on Rain and Seitt the whole time.
Kyoji looked at Domon's eyes, knowing that his brother was trying to hide something from him. Domon caught Kyoji's stare and started to get nervous, but was glad that he would not be questioned about his whereabouts any further.
After everyone had settled down, another man decided to make an appearance. Dr. Mikaamura entered the house only to be filled with swarms of questions.
Everyone looked at the previous missing doctor and started to ask questions such as "where have you been," "what did you give Domon," and "why were you gone for so long."
Dr. Mikamura stepped back, not expecting to be asked so many questions as he walked in the door. He decided to tell everyone what he had been up to this whole time, but not his actual plan he had in his mind.
"Alright. I'll tell you all what is happening." Everyone went to the couch, anxious to hear the doctor's story. "Earlier I had received a letter from the government, requesting my presence. I went to the government building today and they told me that they wanted to use my development on Shining Gundam as a starter for the 13th Gundam Fight." Dr. Mikamura looked to Dr. Kasshu and stared at him for a moment and then nodded as he continued on with the story.
"They told me that they had not yet found the perfect pilot for the Shining Gundam yet and since I had created the gundam, they asked me if I knew someone who would be the perfect candidate to be the gundam fighter for Neo-Japan." Now, Dr. Mikamura went to look at Domon. "Since I had remembered that Domon had been training with the Undefeated of the East, Master Asia, I mentioned his name." Domon and the others were now surprised. Everyone turned to look at Domon, but Domon just sat there in shock.
"Domon, may I have a word with you?" Dr. Mikamura wanted to speak with Domon privately, once again.
"Yeah, sure." Domon and Dr. Mikamura went in the hall as the doctor started to persuade Domon to join, since it would help out with his own plan.
"Domon, I am not forcing you to do anything. I just want to mention that you will be traveling around Earth for only a year, but within that year, you will meet up with other gundam fighters. Yes, other gundam fighters will come to challenge you and who knows? Maybe you'll run into some new friends or some old ones as well." Dr. Mikamura did not tell Domon this, but he had overheard his daughter and her boyfriend's conversation and noticed that Domon knew about the news as well.
Once mentioned of an "old friend," Domon remembered that Rain and Seitt were going to attend this gundam fight as well. He thought about running into Rain within the next year, but he also remembered Seitt and the thought of both of them holding hands and kissing right in front of him. At this point, Domon took not more than a moment to give his answer.
"Alright doctor, I'll go." Domon had a determined look on his face.
Dr. Mikamura had a pleased look on his face. He knew that once he had mentioned that Domon might run into his daughter, he would surly join the gundam fight. "Great! But you know Domon, you'll need a crew."
At this, Domon had a confused expression. "A crew? Why would I need a crew?"
"Well Domon, the gundam will be taking a lot of damage from your fights and you'll need a crew to fix the damages. Plus, the crew will also make sure that your body is in perfect condition." Dr. Mikamura had just realized that he had ceased to find a partner for Domon.
"I'll be Domon's partner for the 13th Gundam Fight." A non-strange voice suddenly appeared.
