"Are you sure?""Yeah I've heard she's now in Raven's Group.""Isn't she a lucky one? I've heard that their group was looking for the 6th person but still was unable to find one. To think that they'd choose her."
"Do you think I have the time? I just saw her standing in the middle of the forest and then she collapsed. Stop getting mad at me, Akito," he retorted as he frantically paced around the nurse and the doctor."Forest? Why would a gravely wounded girl be standing in the middle of the forest?""How would I know, I already told you I just saw her standing there as I take my afternoon stroll.""Why are you strolling on this heavy rain?""It's already my routine whether it's raining or it's sunny. So is she dying? Will she die? I was the last person who held her. Will I be accused of murder? But I swear I just met that girl I don't even know her name? I have no alibi as well? What should I do? What-" he abruptly stopped what he's saying when an injection was pointed on his throat."Shut up and go sit in the corner. I am trying to help this girl right now and your chatter will distract me. Or do you want me to inject you right now to shut you up?"The headmaster zipped his mouth and run to the sit in the corner of the room behaving himself like an obedient child. Hours later."She's fine. We only need to wait for her to wake up before knowing what really happened," hearing these words the headmaster sighed on relief."Prepare yourself Kaoru, you might end up in jail for a.s.saulting a girl," Akito added before turning on his heel."Akito!! I already told you I just met her," running after Akito, leaving the girl to rest.After a week of watching over her."So, is anyone looking for a missing teenager?" Akito asked Kaoru as they entered the room where the girl sleeps."Nope, none at all. I tried searching for someone who knows a girl with Silver hair and red eyes but to no avail. Could she be from another kingdom?""Who knows," he replied as he checks her condition."Hey Akito, why isn't she awake yet?""It's her body how would I know?""Geez, you're the doctor here.""I don't know okay. Her body must still be healing itself, she'll wake up when the right time comes," just as he said this, the girl beside them opened her eyes."Oooh, you're awake. So how do you feel? What's your name? Where do you live? Why are you in the forest? What happened to you? Where's your –" once again he was stopped by an injection in his throat. He zipped his mouth and stand there obediently."How do you feel?" this time the one asking the question was Akito."Fine," the girl answered as she looks around."Do you know your name?""Eureka""Where do you live?""…""You're parents, where are they?""I don't know""Do you know why you ended up in the forest?""By the time I realized it, I was already there."The two looked at each other."Do you remember anything from your past other than your name?" Kaoru finally asked seriously."My past...… doesn't exist," she answered before closing her eyes once again.The two went to the door and spoke quietly."Amnesia?" Kaoru said worriedly to Akito."Might be. She didn't know her parents and by the time she realized it she was already in the forest." Akito replied."Ah," as if remembering something, Kaoru walked towards Eureka."How about 'Zu', do you remember that person? It was your last words before you fainted," Eureka opened her eyes, stared at the ceiling but didn't speak. Kaoru returned to where Akito is."Zu?" Akito asked."Yes before she fainted she said something, it was….. that's right she said 'you stupid Zu',"They looked at her who's still staring at the ceiling. After a bit of silence."Anyway, while we still don't know who she is and where she came from. You will be her guardian.""Okay I unders- GUARDIAN!!!" Kaoru looked at Akito incredulously. "I can't and you know that I'm not good with kids or teenagers.""You have no other choice, you are the first person who found her. Or do you want her to be interrogated over and over again by those in the inst.i.tute? Oh, how terrible would that be," Akito said knowing how soft-hearted Kaoru is.Pondering over it Kaoru knows that the inst.i.tute will treat anyone, who suddenly appeared in the kingdom, with suspicion. Will interrogate them nonstop to the point where they'd include torture. Thinking about that he shuddered."Fine, fine, fine. I'll take care of her. But you have to help me. Especially on her ident.i.ty.""Sure."*****
