Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal.
'I love this!' Rio exclaimed in her head as she roller skated through the streets of Heartland City. 'I feel free! This is so fun! I should take Ryouga on my next trip...Knowing him though, he is not going to budge.' Rio sighed as she skated into the park.
Rio slowed down as she focused around her. 'Wow...' she thought. 'Is it just me or did the park became more beautiful? With the sounds...with the birds...with the-' Rio cut herself off when one of her skates got stuck behind a rock, which in turn caused her to trip.
"Oh-!" Rio fell harshly on the sidewalk. Unfortunately for her, she did not have knee pads nor elbow pads. She was fortunate to have a helmet to protect her head. But the rest of her body wasn't that fortunate. For a minute, Rio laid on the sidewalk. She looked around her body and found herself bleeding at her left elbow and bleeding at both her knees.
Rio grunted in pain. "Ugh...This hurts..." Then after that minute, she migrated to the grass that found itself right next to the sidewalk. Rio decided to lay there in the grass. "I'm going to lay here until the pain goes away..." And so Rio stayed on the grass for a long while...
"Hey nii-san! How am I doing?!" asked an excited Haruto to Kaito. Kaito had just bought his little brother these roller skates, and Haruto immediately wanted to try them out. So he took his little brother to the park to skate as much as he wanted.
"Fantastic Haruto," Kaito complimented as Haruto skated in front of him. Kaito watched as he skated almost perfectly. 'He barely put the skates on, and now he is skating like an average skater. If he keeps this up, he could become a professional roller skater in his teenage years...' "You skate way better than I ever did when I was your age."
Haruto turned to his brother, skated towards him, and grinned. "Speaking of that nii-san, why did you stop skating? I remember watching you skate with a passion. You looked so happy..."
Kaito looked at him and patted his head. Kaito smiled. "I did, didn't I?"
Haruto smiled and began skating again. Kaito followed closely. "You sure did! So why? And don't give me that reason."
Kaito lightly sighed. He knew that his brother would not let him off easy. "It's just...As I was skating one day, I tripped and fell hard."
Haruto's eyes widened as he faced his head towards his brother. "Really? But...I don't remember you having an accident like that..."
Kaito shook his head. "That incident was not of importance Haruto. So don't worry about it. It's too late anyway."
Haruto frowned. He wanted to know more, but he also knew that his brother wouldn't budge. Then, something on the left side of his brother caught his eye. Haruto stopped.
Kaito also stopped as soon as he became aware that his brother also stopped. "What's wrong Haruto?"
Haruto pointed towards his brother's side. "I think I saw a person lying over there at the grass." Kaito turned his head towards were Haruto was pointing.
Indeed, there was a person lying there. Haruto turned to his brother again. "Should we go check to see if he/she needs our help?"
Kaito thought for a while. 'It could be a trap from someone...It could be someone dangerous...But it could also be someone in need...'
Haruto watched his brother think. He sweatdropped. 'Nii-san. I think you're overanalyzing the situation. We should just go to see who it is...' Haruto began to skate towards the grass.
"Wait, Haruto!" Kaito called out, so his little brother would wait for him.
"Hurry up nii-san!" Haruto called back. He skated and made it to the grass in no time. When he saw who was laying on the grass. He widened his eyes.
"Haruto!" Kaito said as he went to Haruto's side. When he also saw the person laying on the grass, he hid his surprise. What is Ryouga's sister doing laying on the grass with skates on? And not only that, she was sleeping. Who does that in the middle of the park?
Haruto blinked a few times. "Nii-san...What is Rio-san doing sleeping on the grass?"
Kaito sighed and montioned Haruto to go on the grass. Haruto went on the grass towards Rio and sat down next to her sleeping form. "What are you going to do nii-san?"
Kaito turned to Haruto as he also bent down next to Rio's sleeping form. "Me? Wake her up. It's indecent to sleep in the middle of somewhere."
Haruto sighed. "Not that. I meant her wounds."
Kaito stopped just as he was about to shake her awake. He stared at Haruto then he focused his gaze on Rio. He saw that she had wounds in her knees. He sighed. If she had this many wounds on her knees, what about on her elbows?
Kaito went around Rio and saw that he was correct. Rio had a wound on her left elbow. If Kaito wasn't so stoic, he would have facepalmed. This event reminded him of-
"Nii-san!" Haruto suddenly called, pulling Kaito out of his thoughts. Kaito stared at him, waiting for an answer. "Look!" He pointed to Rio stirring. A while after she stirred, she opened her eyes. The first thing, or more like person, she saw was Kaito.
She blinked at him, clearly surprised that he was there. Then she noticed another person next to her. She turned her head to the person and blinked even more. This is not what she expected to see when she woke up.
"Hello Kaito...Haruto...pardon the instrution, but why are you guys here with me?"
Kaito lightly sighed. "You were laying in the middle of the park. Not only that, but you were sleeping. Do you know what could have happened to you if Haruto nor I have seen you?"
Rio glared while Haruto facepalmed. Why was Kaito so...Nevermind... Haruto spoke first. "Nii-san. You should have asked her if she was alright..."
Kaito shook his head. "No Haruto. She's capable of taking care of herself if she thinks that she can just sleep wherever she wants."
Rio glared deeply at Kaito. "I wasn't sleeping on purpose! I just laid here for a while, and before I knew it, I had dozed off. Is there anything wrong with that?!"
Kaito glared back. "Yes. There are many things wrong with you sleeping. First, your wounds should have been treated as soon as you had them. That decreases the chances you have of getting a virus or a disease. Second, someone passing by could have taken advantage of y-"
"Alright, alright! I get your point! Thank you for the lecture. You can leave now," Rio retorted as she began to sit up with Kaito's help.
Haruto smiled at Rio. "It's no use Rio-san. When nii-san lectures on taking care of one's own body, there is no stopping him!"
Rio twitched at Haruto. "R-R-Really..." Then she turned her Kaito, her expression now curious. "Why is that?"
Kaito sighed. Haruto just had to tell her didn't he? "People learn from their mistakes as they grow up."
Rio was clearly confused. But after she thought for a while, she understood what he meant. 'So he had been through the same thing huh...' Rio sighed and smiled at him. Without warning, she stood up.
"Thanks for the warning! But I still need to finish my skating! Bye Haruto! Kaito!" Rio said as she was about to skate towards the sidewalk. But something stopped her from leaving. Rio turned around to see that Kaito had her wrist in his hand. Rio suddenly had a feeling of deja vu. 'Has this happened before? I feel like this has been reused in stories over and over again...But that's just me...'
Rio shook her head and focused back on Kaito. He was glaring at her, so she glared back. Instead doind anything to stop them, Haruto leaned back on his hands and enjoyed the show his brother and Rio-san were doing.
"You are not leaving anywhere with wounds like those. You could get hurt even more."
Rio stared at him confusedly. What was up with him? Must be from hanging out with Yuma all the time. Apperantly, Yuma's personality does rub off. Rio sighed. "This always happens to me. I'm used to it. Now could you please let me go. I want to continue skating."
Haruto playfully shook his head. "No can do Rio-san." Haruto carefully stood up. "Now that you have told him that your injuries occur everytime you skate, we are going to take you to the hospital!"
Rio widened her eyes. "WHAT?!" she bellowed. The brothers weren't fazed at all. Rio began to sweat nervously. 'Oh no! If they take me to the hospital, Ryouga will find out for sure! I have to escape!' Rio looked down at her wrist in Kaito's hand. Kaito noticed her action, so he stood up next to her. He gripped her wrist even tighter than that.
Rio squirmed. "Um...Could you please not grip me too hard?"
Kaito smirked. "I saw that look on your face. You will not be able to escape. I assure you of that."
Rio winced on the inside. '...Remind me to never get on his bad side...Back on topic! Now how am I-' Rio smiled when an idea formed in her head. Well, not really of an idea but more of a rule. "But we have skates on!"
The brothers looked at her in confusion. "What?" Haruto asked.
Rio smirked, feeling triumphant. "Hospitals do not allow skates on their grounds. We can't go in because they are not going to let us!"
The brothers simultaneously blinked. Then at the same time, Haruto laughed while Kaito smirked. Rio stood glaring at both of them. One hand in hip because the other couldn't get out. "What?!" she angrily asked.
Haruto decided to be the one to explain to her. "Nii-san and I are well known in the hospital. Nii-san even knows the headmaster. My brother can just explain the situation, and the headmaster will let us! Simple as that!"
Rio twitched. '...This guy is one step ahead even when he doesn't plan something...He is someone to be jealous of...' "W-Well...I-"
"Rio." Rio looked up in shock when she heard Kaito say her name. "You will never be able to find a good enough excuse to get out of going to the hospital. I know you'll be lying."
Rio hung her head in defeat. Haruto smiled and took Rio's other hand. Rio looked at him. Haruto grinned. "Let's go Rio-san!"
Rio couldn't help but smile. She sighed again. "Yeah...I guess so..."
Kaito pulled her along with Haruto following behind. The two skaters skated while Kaito led them...
Oh yeah! I'm back in the game!...What game? Ignore that please. Well, this was just meant to be a oneshot, but as I was writing, I suddenly got this whole new idea! This is going to be a multi-chapter story, at least 5 chapters but no longer than 10. I can assure that! This idea came from the exact same situation that happened to Rio. As I was skating on my sidewalk, one of my skates became slippery which cause me to trip. I hurt my knee and my elbow, but they weren't bleeding very much, so I was okay. I just laid down to rest, but I didn't go to sleep...Well either way...You guys know the drill, and I'll see you guys soon! ~Ja ne!
