"The Begining"

I do not own G Gundam. But I can dream can't I?

Chapter one: Those eyes

Rain hit against her little plastic rain coat as she walked the little run-down neighborhood known as Shining Avenue.

Although she didn't know why they call it that. Nothing was shining about it. She had been working here as a nurse for about 2

weeks now, and already there has been some brushes with danger, which was contrary to her job in Akita, neo-Japan.

Someone had tried to steal her purse. Her, knowing what the place had been like before hand, carried a little pistol around just

for protection had quickly pulled it out and threatened to shoot it, the punk-thief fled before she was for forced to pull the trigger.

Why would she stay, you ask? Because of her dedication. She saw all of the ill-stricken children that desperately needed help and

someone to lean on. So it was also her heart that lead her to stay here. She walked the cracked pavements a little faster now,

or fear that she might miss her evening college coarse. She was measuring in mechanical engineering.

Considering her tender age of nineteen, she has accomplished a great deal. She was a child prodigy and had the pleasure and

responsibility to be moved two grades up. She made her way up to her sky blue little economical car that her boy friend had

brought her.

Although she hadn't heard from him in months, she had not been in an intimate relationship with any other man.

Her boy friend, Seit, who was older than her by 10 years, had been on a case that was on the other side of the country, Kobe,

Japan ( this is an actual country in Japan). He was a high-ranking lawyer in neo-Japan, and now a movie star that had recently

been in some legal trouble had called for him. She had no idea when he was going to come back. She was growing tired

of calling him and the line was busy or either he was too declined to take the call. She had told his secretary that she was his

girlfriend, but she just replied that he wouldn't come to the phone even if the president had asked him to. She dug in her purse

to find her keys.

Thunder boomed in her ears and the rain fell harder. Now she was drenched from head to ankles. It didn't help

her that she was wearing a short blue dress. She fished around a bit, and her hand touched upon the cold pistol that she almost

had to use earlier this week. She rampaged around a bit more, and she found them. Her hands were trembling as she shivered.

She inserted the key to the locked door. She opened the door and felt safer that she was within the safety of her car. She

started her only three-month old engine, and drove off. The air once again trembled with the sound of thunder and the rain

fell even harder.

She looked at her watch and began to speed up a bit. Suddenly, her car started to slow down a considerable

amount. The engine began to cough and chug. The young woman looked at her gas meter, her tank was half full. The engine

gave a discouraging cough and it stopped all together. She hit the steering wheel out of frustration. She looked out of her

passenger's seat window and saw a huge and old looking house. She did not want to go to that old house and ask for help,

that gave her the creeps, she did not like asking for help. So she got out of her car and went to the car's trunk. In there

she had access to a big yellow tool box, that had a sufficient amount of tools inside. She had took classes on basic problem

with cars, so she decided to apply that knowledge.

With the rain still pouring down heavily, she lifted the hood of the car, the

rain immediately flooded it. She quickly closed the hood. And went back inside her car she grabbed the umbrella that she just

now remembered she had. She took it to the hood and then she sort of shielded the engine from the damaging rain.

She looked inside the tool kit that was on the ground and drew the flashlight. She turned it on, not even bothering to look

at the car battery, because if the head lights worked, the battery was well alive. She looked in the engine, but she found no

problem with it. She sighed with exhaustion, and with frustration. She decided that she will not attend her class-that is-if

she made it there in time. She stepped back a bit, she bumped into someone which caused her to drop her flash light. She

let out a deep gasp.

" Um, s'cuse me, but are you having some trouble?" said the deep voice. She turned around and saw the

shadowy figure picking up her flash light, that was some how not harmed. He gave it to her. " Yes, yes, I am." she said

wondering were he came from and also was angry for answering because she considered that asking for help.

" Here, let me take a look at it." he said trying to talk over the rain that was hitting on both of their plastic coats.

He took the flash light out of her hand and loomed over the car's engine with intrigue. She looked at him thinking,

' what can he know about cars?' the mysterious man stood up, and gave his diagnoses, " Well, your engine is shot, there's a

blown fuse." She was kind of jealous of him for knowing what was wrong when she was the one taking classes. Her hope of

leaving was as bleak and hopeless as her car. " I could call someone to tow the car back to your place, but my phone is dead,

I guess it's because of the storm. a flash of lightening flashed, and the woman saw his very beautiful dark blue eyes.



He continued, " Listen, no use stayin' out in the rain. If you need a place to stay, your more than welcome to stay with me

until I can establish connection with a towing company." The young woman did not know why he was being so generous. Was

he intending to do some harm to her? There was another rumble of thunder, followed by a flash of lightening, and she got

another glimpse of those eyes again. She saw no cruel in them, she saw warmness with a little......nostalgia. With her

exhaustion, that was all she needed to see to accept his offer. " Okay, where do I go?" she answered shyly.

" Come on, follow me." he said as he turned to that big house that frightened her so much. No way!

She did not want to believe that he lived in that lonely looking house. She was reluctant to follow, but she was way to tired

just to stand in the rain and do nothing. She picked up her tool kit, locked her car door, and took her umbrella with her.

The man turned around and smiled, " Oh, by the way my name is Kioji." she was quiet. Kioji did not expect her to be as

trusting as he was, so he was not offended if she didn't tell him her name. He lead her up to his doors, and he opened them

for her. She felt better when she was out of the rain. " Um, you can sit down if you want." he said meekly as he took off his coat.

He was wearing sort of a muscle shirt. She looked further in his eyes, and she blushed when she actually found him attractive.

She kind of liked his black mid-length fluffy hair and his wonderful physique. Ignoring her red face, Kioji headed into his kitchen.

Rain looked around and saw pictures on the wall, she saw a younger man who looked just like Kioji, probably his brother.

Then she saw another elder man that also had a resemblance to both, she knew it was Kioji's father. She also saw his very

elegant looking mother, she guessed it was. " That's my family. Quite a resemblance?" The woman turned around startled.

She saw the young man with a glass of water in his hand, he had two, and gestured for her to take one. She took it even though

she was tired of water by now. " Oh, yes." She could not help but look into Kioji's eyes just once more. Kioji kind of smiled and

said, " Hey, um, do you want something to eat?" she snapped out of her dazed state, and replied, " Sure." while looking down

at her glass of refreshing cold water. " What do you want?" " Anything you have will be fine." she modestly said hoping he will

make a huge dinner that will fill her tremendous hunger.

" A turkey and cheese sandwich sound good?" he said. " That's great."

she lied. Kioji went into the kitchen. " Oh, and by the way," the young woman said just before he went into the kitchen,

" My name is Rain." Kioji smiled and left. He went into his refrigerator. It was filled with all sorts of foods; all kinds of meat,

all kinds of vegetables, all kinds of drinks, but none of them were alcoholic. Even though he was old enough to drink he

preferred not to. He did not want to have an alcohol-related death at the age of twenty-eight, he was very cautious.

Meanwhile, the woman took a seat on the very firm, but comfy couch. She slouched as she heard another crackle of thunder.

She took a sip of her water, then she placed it on the coffee table in front of her. Kioji was now finished making the

sandwiches for Rain and him. He left the kitchen and went into the living room. " Okay, here it-" he stopped speaking as Kioji

saw Rain fast asleep on the couch. He took the sandwiches back into the kitchen and covered them up and placed them inside

the fridge. He took a big comforter he had in his closet, and covered her with it. He went up stairs and went to bed.

Rain awoke in the middle of the night. She looked around to try to remember what happened.

When she saw the condensing glass and remembered. Rain now remembered the young man's beautiful dark blue

eyes and how kind and warm they were. She smiled at the thought. She felt a wet sensation, it was from her wet rain coat. S

he removed it and put it on the arm of the chair. She slipped off her boots and she switched from a partially sitting position to a

totally laid back position by putting her legs on the cushion of the long couch. The comforter was so warm, she fell back asleep

faster, despite her growing hunger.

" Hey, Rain, Rain, a tow truck is on its way." The drowsy Rain woke up to those eyes again, she felt

herself blush. Kioji smiled and lifted his head from her face. " Sorry for the early wake up call, but I'd presume that

you'd want to get out of here as soon as possible." He said with a slight grin. " It's 7:15, just in case you were wondering."

Still feeling quite drowsy, she said,

" Thank you." She was reluctant to take off the big comforter because of her short dress, that had no sleeves, but when she

saw Kioji sort of direct his attention away from her, and she felt safe. Not that she didn't feel safe around him already. She

removed the covers from her body. Kioji sort of turned around and he saw Rain stand up. She had an hour glass figure, with

long and smooth looking legs. His eyes widened and he smiled to as he admitted to himself that she was physically attractive.

Her brown hair fell to her back, and that added to her attractive look. And her big sapphire eyes just put the icing on the cake.

He didn't like her in that way, despite her well shaped body, he couldn't. Kioji saw that she was younger than him,

and he sort of recognized her, maybe in another lifetime he thought. If they did know each other in another lifetime, he

assumed that he didn't like her in that way. " Well, Kioji, I thank you for all of your help." Rain said sincerely. " Any time."

Rain folded the large comforter up and handed it to Kioji. " Thanks." he said as he made his way to the closet. " Um, Kioji,"

said Rain getting Kioji's attention as he shut the closet door, " I know this is kinda silly, but do you still have those sandwiches?"

she asked with a look of anticipation on her face. " Sure, I'll go get them." he said as he headed into the kitchen. Rain sat

back down on the coach, wishing she could wash up, but she thought he might think that she is taking advantage of his

hospitality so she would wait until she got home. Soon Kioji came back with the sandwiches and set them on the table.

" Well, I'm going to take a shower, Rain. You can just wait until the towing truck comes, oh, and don't worry about the mess,

I'll get it later." Kioji said and he went upstairs. Rain greedily took a sandwich and shoved it in her mouth. She sure did

feel sorry for the mess she was going to leave behind, but she also thought that it would be terribly rude to waist what he had

prepared her, so she ate and ate. Not even knowing that one of the sandwiches there was Kiojis'. She could have licked

the plate if someone hadn't opened the door and interrupted her. A man came in, he waved to someone that she couldn't

see from where she was sitting, and shut the door. Rain kind of recognized the man, he was from the picture. She

thought it was kind of sweet that two brother's lived together. The man did not look pleasant. He looked like he was drunk.

Rain noticed that he had that same red headband in the picture. The drunk man saw Rain, he shrugged, and mumbled something

incoherent, and continued to climb upstairs. There was a knock at the door. Rain got up and answered it. " Is there a Miss. Rain

here?

I have word that she needs a tow home, or to the repair shop." said the fat man with the greasy shirt. " Um, Yes I'm her,

and I would like to have it towed to the repair shop." Rain answered. " Do you have one in particular?" he asked. " Uh, yes. The

one off of Willows Providence." said Rain knowing that it was just minutes from her own house. She could just walk home and

shower. " Follow me." said the man gruffly. " Um, hold on." Rain said as she dipped back into the house. " Thank you, Kioji!"

Rain yelled up stairs. She knew he probably didn't hear her because she didn't get a response, she just heard his bad singing

continue. She saw a piece of paper on the coffee table, she looked around for a pen. When she was unsuccessful, she looked

inside her trusty purse and found one. She wrote:

"Thanks for all your help,

Rain"

She shut the door behind her, and left with the greasy fat man who was already to go with the car already attached to the back.

She left for her long ride to 556 Willows Providence.
