The Ways of the Heart

Chapter Four:

No Matter the Cost

Rain got home late. She entered her apartment, exhausted both physically for being standing on 9-inch heels, and mentally for what happened with Domon. She sat her little black purse on the nearest couch she found and went inside her bedroom.

She lied down on her bed, thinking, mainly pertaining to Domon.

'Maybe I'm making a mistake. Maybe he was apologizing to me because he's sorry…?' Her thoughts trailed off. She was confused. Rain knew she loved Domon dearly, but the memories came back when she saw him with Allenby. That made Rain mad; Hurt overwhelmed her and the power of vengeance even more sweet.

"Ugh, I need a bath." Rain said to herself and went to grab a towel. She then took off all her clothes, carefully, not wanting to wrinkle the dress she had on, and went to hang her dress in her huge walking closet.

----

Domon was still at the party, well, technically, he was outside smoking a cigarette. He couldn't stop thinking about what had happen with Rain. This was making things very difficult for him. He wanted to tell her he loved her, he wanted to wipe away her tears, he wanted to make her suffering for him disappear. But unfortunately, it wasn't working.

'I have to find a way to get her back, no matter what.' He thought as he kept smoking his cigarette. Someone was walking behind him. Domon turned around and to his surprise, it was Dr. Mikamura.

"Why Domon, why are you still here? I thought you left by now." He said, standing beside him. The night sky was bright with stars; it would always bright up you spirit.

"No, I haven't left yet. I have too much stuff on my mind." He said not looking at Dr. Mikamura's direction. He noticed that there was something troubling Domon.

"What's wrong Domon? Why the serious expression?" He asked.

Domon sighed. "I've been having… women trouble lately" he said, wondering if he should tell him that he was having friendship/relationship problems with Rain. He decided against it, since if he might tell him, Rain would catch wind of it and might get even angrier with Domon as she already is.

"Ahh," he said in an all-knowing mood, "I see. I don't suppose it has anything to do with my daughter, now does it?" He asked; he had a smirk on his face so he could read Domon like an open book.

Domon could only smile. "You know me so well Dr. Mikamura." He said with sincere voice.

"Of course I would; you and Rain have been childhood friends. I knew this thing would happen sooner or later." He said, turning around as he did so. "Just give her time. She might be angry with you right now, but with time she'll reason." And with that he left back inside. He left Domon to his thoughts.

'Maybe he's right.' Domon reasoned with himself. 'Maybe I should just give her time.' He sighed and followed Dr. Mikamura inside.

The next morning was a more cheerful one at that. Rain had to wake up early to go see her father. She had received a call late last night from him requesting that she be present at beta trial for a new Gundam module.

By the time she got at her father's house, her father was outside eating breakfast and reading the newspaper.

"Hello Father" Rain greeted her father warmly. "I hope you had a good nights sleep."

Dr. Mikamura kissed his daughter on the cheek. "Good Morning Rain. I did, thank you. I hope you had one too."

Rain slightly grimaced. "I wish I did. But, anyways Father," she said changing the subject. "What did you want me to see again?"

"Ahh, we'll get to that in a while. Now come, sit with me and talk." Dr. Mikamura motioned for his daughter to sit in the empty chair in front of him. She did so. "Now tell me," he said sipping on his coffee. "What is this about you having problems with Domon?"

Rain fidgeted in her seat. "Where have you heard that load of…" Rain was cut off when her father motioned for her to watch her language. She did so and sighed. "It's just problems, like any other friendship has problems." She tried to explain. Rain was lying through her teeth and her father could quickly tell.

"Now Rain, don't give me that. Tell me the real reason why you and Domon are not on good terms." Dr. Mikamura said sternly. He saw as his daughter sighed.

"Well…" Rain started off. She was now wondering if she should tell him the whole truth or just lie somewhat. "He hurt me" she said in a whisper. Dr. Mikamura looked at his daughter with great concern. "But not like that, emotionally I meant"

"I see" he said as quietly as Rain had just talked. "What did he do?"

"Let's just say he betrayed me father. I don't hate him if that's what you're concerned about. I'm just a bit resented." Rain started explaining. "I just want him to 'suffer' as I have."

Dr. Mikamura decided to leave it at that, and let the young people handle their business. His alarm clock on his watch went off and he looked at it. "It's time." He said as he made h is way back into the house. Rain followed him.

They went all the way down to the underground laboratory where the new prototype of a Gundam was being built. It looked almost completed, but the only thing that it lacked was a few cables, some bolts, and what looked like it was missing a whole operating system. Rain smiled at herself. This was the most spectacular Gundam she had ever seen.

Rains smile diminished when she noticed a certain person near the Gundam as well. It was Domon. She sighed to herself. 'Damn it!' she mentally cursed.

Domon noticed too that Rain was with her father. He felt very out of place there and just wanted to leave. But in order to make it up to Rain he can't leave this like it is! He had to tell her that he was sorry sometime.

Rain and Dr. Mikamura approached him. "I see you've already seen her." He said to Domon who only nodded. Domon's eyes wandered to Rain who only looked at him, and then when their gazes met, she turned away as if looking at something else. Domon sighed. She was still angry.

Time passed and Dr. Mikamura asked Rain to go check out the cockpit of the Gundam. Agreeing, she went and looked at it herself. What she didn't notice was that Domon was already in the cockpit looking at it, making changes himself. When she came in, he thought she was just another one of the workers. He didn't even bother to turn around.

The moment Rain walked in the cockpit, the door shut behind her, shutting both Domon and Rain inside. It made her jump and it made Domon turn around but when he got to the door, it was too late. It was sealed shut.

They pounded on the door frantically, but it wouldn't budge. They both sighed and gave up. Soon after their futile attempts, Dr. Mikamura came on the screen inside the cockpit. "I'm sorry, but there seems to be a slight technical difficulty. So both of you just have to stay there for a while." He said smiling.

Both Domon and Rain frowned. Great, this is just what they needed.

----

Outside, a fellow worker of Dr. Mikamura consulted something with him. "Are you sure its safe to have them stuck there for a while? I mean, aren't you at least worried that she might try to kill him or something?"

Dr. Mikamura smiled. "Of course not. They're just resolving their issues. All I'm doing is giving them a little push."
