"Who is it?"She asks throwing her journal back into a drawer.
"Me!"Her little brother Riku pokes his head in the door and throws it the rest of the way open. He runs in kisses her cheek like the sweetheart she knows him to be.
"Aw Riku." She smiles hugging him with her good side. They both look to the door when they hear a man screaming, following a angry shout from an elder man and young woman. "So...Dad's here too."
"Yeah he's hunting down Solomon with Diva, and Kai went to make sure they don't kill him." Riku replies sitting beside on the bed. Saya sighs and shakes her head.
"We have a very strange family, Riku." She tells him.
"I know."
"Good, just checking."
They laugh and he begins telling her what is happening back at their family's restaurant. Business is slow, Kai is engaged to a family friend Mao, and Riku has made three new friends at school. When he is finished with his news, Saya tells him what is going on in her life beside her injury. In the middle of the conversation Saya stops to notice a third person listening in on their talk.
Haji stands in the doorway, listening silently with his eyes looking down at his polished black shoes and his hands stuffed in his black suit pants pockets.
"Hello, Hagi." She greets him. Riku looks at the stranger, and Haji looks up. His face is slightly pink from being discovered.
"I'm sorry." He mutters turning on his heel to leave.
"No!" Riku looks at his older sister and Haji does also, with a raised eyebrow. "I-I mean. 'No wait, did you come for something?'."
"I...I...I came to...See if..." He trails off rubbing his neck and looking away. Saya notices his hand has a bandaged wrapped around it.
"If...?" She gestures for him to elaborate.
"You..."
"Me?"
"Her."Riku joins in, Haji notices and blushes deeper but Saya ignores her brother.
"W-w...W..."
"Were dead?" Saya guesses, Haji's eyes widened.
"No! No! Not at all!"
"Maimed?"
"No!" He shouts again shaking his head furiously and waving his hands in front of himself.
"Horribaly disfigured?"
"I got it!" Riku shouts. They look at the boy. " To come see if you WOULD marry him!"
They stare at him for a while,
"RIKU OUT!"
"But-"
"OUT!" Pouting slightly Riku dashes out of the room, Saya looks at Hagi.
"Um sory, that's my little brother. Is he wrong?"
"Dead wrong." Hagi confirms.
"Then what? Why are you are here?" He licks his lips nervously before taking a few steps into the room. "Oh coming to say goodbye?"
"Actually...No. I would be leaving for a while." He admits, she offers him the chair at her bedside and he accepts.
"How long are you staying?" She asks.
"Two, four months. I want to spend sometime with my grandfather. I haven't seen in three years." It's quiet for a moment before he asks. "I came to see if you were alright. You fell pretty hard."
"I'm fine, just a little sore..."
She chews on her bottom lip as another pause comes between them. She stares at him for a while, putting him to memory for no real reason, let looking away when he looks up at her. She guess he thinks she's creepy for staring at him. What she doesn't know he is doing and thinking the same things.
"Er, Saya?" He's rubbing the back of his neck again.
"Yes?"
"I...You...You..." He sighs with his nostrals flaring. Making her giggle. He looks up. "What?"
"Sorry, you just flared your nostrals. It's kind of..." She trails off blushing like a little girl having her first crush.
"Silly?"
"A little." She admits sheepishly. "But it's more funny."
"Ah." He nods. "Well, Saya I came to see if you were alright and seeing that you are..."
"HAGI! WHERE ARE YOU BOY?!" His eyes widen and he stands.
"My father, I have to go." As he bolts out the door. she calls him back.
"Hagi!"
"Yes?" She bites her lip.
"I was wondering..."
"Yes?"
"Er, nothing..."
"Alright. Take care." He takes off as the sound of heavy footsteps are heard coming closer to the room.
"I was just wondering if you left me a rose..." There is another knock at her door and in steps...
