"Onee-chan?"

"Tatara? What's wrong?" Kumiko Totsuka, older sister of Tatara Totsuka, wondered.

"Uh…ehe…can…can you come to Shizume Hospital…please?"

"What? What happened?"

"Just please come here and I'll tell you, okay?"

Kumiko sighed. "Alright."

She snapped her phone shut in slight anger. "Tatara…please be okay…"

Sixteen-year old, Mikoto Suoh lazily lounged at HOMRA bar, staring off into space not really paying attention to his drink in front of him.

"By the way, Mikoto," his friend, Izumo Kusanagi said. "I understand that some middle school kid's been stalking you lately."

Mikoto grunted and said, "You mean that annoying brat?"

"It's strange. Hanging around a guy who hates keeping friends and hates it when people kiss up to him—" Izumo was cut off by the ringing of a telephone. He walked over to the phone and said before picking it up, "that kid's got balls."

"HOMRA," he answered.

As Izumo was speaking on the phone, the tone of his voice changed, causing Mikoto to look back at his friend.

"Uh…okay. Thanks," he placed the phone back on the receiver. "How should I tell you this…?"

"Tell me what?"

"It's about that kid who wants to work for you. He was beaten up on the street and taken to the hospital."

Mikoto took in what Izumo said and let out an annoyed, "tch."

"Ah! Onee-chan!"

Kumiko stared in shock as she saw her younger brother in terrible condition. His left leg was in a cast, his left arm was in a cast as well as a sling, his head was bandaged, and to top it off, his left cheek had a bandage on it.

"Tatara! What in the world happened to you!?" She said and sat down next to him.

"Well…uh…hehe…I got beat up on the street."

"By who? Do I know the person? I'm gonna put him through the same—"

Tatara laughed. "Hey don't worry! I'm fine now!"

She sighed. "You need to be more careful, Tatara. You always make me worry when you do some reckless things."

Now Tatara felt a little guilty. "Sorry, Onee-chan…"

She smiled and poked him to try and lighten the mood.

The door opened to reveal Mikoto and Izumo. Tatara gasped and said "Hey! What brings you here, King?"

Kumiko and Izumo both said, "King?"

The two guys finally noticed Kumiko in the room and vice versa. 'Eh? Mikoto Suoh? From school? Why is he here?' Kumiko thought to herself.

"Who is this beautiful lady?" Izumo said, snapping Kumiko out of her thoughts. She looked at the blond in front of her and just blinked. After processing what he just said, she just furrowed her brows, crossed her arms, and turned her head.

"I'm his sister."

"Who did this to you?" Mikoto asked, interrupting the two. Tatara just smiled and laid his head back on the pillow.

"Look, kid," Izumo began. "If you hang around this guy, you'll end up like this again. You might think you'll be safe near someone strong, but it's the exact opposite."

Kumiko sent Tatara a look as if to say, "listen to him."

Tatara smiled and said, "Okay! I'll be careful from now on."

Izumo and Kumiko sighed. "Kid, let me say this again—"

He was cut off when Mikoto slammed his foot on the bed, causing Tatara to gasp. Kumiko sent him a death glare. "Hey!" She shouted.

"I asked who did this to you."

The atmosphere in the room changed as the tone in Tatara's voice changed to a serious one. "Before I tell you, King, I have a huge favor to ask. Will you hear me out?"

Mikoto nodded his head and awaited his answer, as did everyone else in the room. "My foot…it itches like hell! Could you scratch it for me?"

"Eh?" Izumo and Kumiko said.

Mikoto just stared at him before letting out a frustrated sigh and placing his hand on Tatara's leg.

"Yes!"

Tatara thought that he was going to receive a foot scratch. However, Mikoto balled his hand into a fist and hit him on the top of the head.

"Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing!?" Kumiko shouted and stood up. Mikoto just walked out of the room, leaving Izumo, Tatara, and an angry Kumiko.

"Ouch!" The injured teen said and rubbed his head.

"Are you okay?" Kumiko asked. He didn't respond and kept rubbing his head.

"You're one reckless kid! Don't blame me if he kills you," Izumo told him.

Despite the situation, Tatara smiled and said, "hey, don't sweat it! It'll all work out! I'm going to become the king's vassal."

His response left Izumo and Kumiko dumbfounded and they just stared at him.

"That guy's going to become someone great. He might become like a real king, don't you think?"

Kumiko smiled at while Izumo still stared at him. "Well, just be more careful," Izumo said and waved to the two, goodbye.

Now it was just the two siblings. For some reason, Kumiko couldn't take her eyes off of the door. She's always seen Mikoto around at school, but she's never really been that close to him, let alone talk to him. 'Strange guy...'

"Onee-chan?"

Kumiko snapped out of her reverie and turned her attention to her brother. "Mm?"

"What are you staring at?"

She shook her head. "Nothing."

Tatara gave her a grin. "Why are you looking at me like a creep, Tatara?"

"Did that guy's pick up lines sweep you off of your feet?"

Kumiko blushed and flicked Tatara on the nose.

"Ow," he said and rubbed his nose.

"You just ask for beatings don't you?"

"Am I right?"

"NO. You are totally wrong. Anyways, why do you even follow Mikoto Suoh around? His friend even said it's dangerous. Then again, you love to get yourself in trouble…"

He smiled. "It's like I said, he's going to become someone great. And I wanna be by his side when he becomes a true king one day!"

Kumiko stared at her brother then continued to stare at the door. 'Who is Mikoto Suoh?'
