(Sorry, it's kinda short ( )

KNIGHT POV

"Look, Riiko….you'll be out in a few days but you'll probably have a cast and a slight limp." I told her, trying to take the subject off Soshi.

"Alright….but what about Soshi? I want to see him…." She trailed off, no luck in the topic change, it seemed that she had already forgotten the kiss.

"You can't see him right now, don't you remember how much it hurt when you tried to get up? Just rest Riiko…I'll be by your side when you need me." I reassured her, putting on my smile. She hesitantly smiled back and closed her eyes.

"Knight….I can't sleep." She whispered to me.

"No, really? I wonder why?" I asked, laughing and got up to get out of her room and check on Soshi.

"I'll….tell you when I make a decision about you know….Soshi and you…" she told me when I was half out of the door, I turned my head and grinned, nodding.

MIKA POV

Ice is fucking FREEZING! That stupid Soshi decided to push me and my leg hit the sharp corner of his coffee table. Now it's swelling and it really hurts. My maid decided to get me a little packet of ice, smart idea, now I'm frickin' freezing.

"Get them in here." I demanded, on the verge of an angry rampage.

"Y-ye-yes Master Mika….." they greeted me, stuttering and bowing down. Absolutely pathetic.

"The first time you failed because Knight was there….and guess what, you failed this time too. Knight was also there. Why are you guys so USELESS?" I screamed, exasperated. They shook in fear and started trying to crawl away.

"I want to win…" I whispered in a quiet, dangerous voice dripping with sweetness.

"Yes….Master Mika." They replied and nodded.

"Once they're out of the hospital, we go again, got it?" I yelled at them. They nodded quickly and scurried away.

RIIKO POV

Knight had left the room and I was bored, uncomfortable and in pain, staring at the ceiling. Suddenly, a knock was heard at my window and my eyes went wide as I saw Namikiri's grinning face in the hospital window.

"Oh…my….god…."

"Hey Riiko" he greeted me, seemingly happy. Somehow he had managed to bust open the window and jump in.

"What the hell are you doing here? If you're trying to kill me, half of your job is done."

"I came to collect Knight from you."

"I told you I wasn't approving of this plan."

"You don't have to silly, if you don't pay for him then you're giving him back."

"Say WHAT?!"

"Knight is a robot, therefore he is just like an appliance and if you don't want us to take him back, then keep him but you have to pay for him."

"I'm not quite following along."

"Appliances cost money to use and in Knight's case, he costs money to maintain and keep. 920,000 will work." My eyes were wide with surprise and I couldn't speak, 920,000?! Was he playing a joke on me or something?

"I'm sure Knight isn't worth…..920,000…."

"No, he's worth more, you're actually getting a discount."

"I am NOT paying that."

"Then tell Knight to come back."

"What will you do if I don't?"

"Well you'll find out then, won't you?" he asked while brushing my cheek with his hand. "We'll meet again Riiko."

The shock of Namikiri appearing wore off, making me tired. I tried to stay awake but in the end, I just drifted off to sleep, once again.

ONE WEEK LATER

Knight helped me out of my bed, some of the pain had subsided. My arm still hurt like hell but it had been put in a cast. Finally, I could leave the hospital now. The first thing I wanted to do was go see Soshi but I wobbled a bit when I walked, it had been at least two weeks since I had last walked so I had kind of forgotten how to, temporarily.

After a short argument, Knight agreed to bring me to Soshi.

"We have to go to school right after though, alright?" he asked, sighing. We went into Soshi's room, he was lying in his bed, showing no signs of movement or awakening. His face was pale and scratched up, he had gauze on his head, wrapped around to apply pressure to the bleeding. He still looked handsome even though he was in a nearly dead state. Wires were all over his body and the sight of him was stirring up tears. Knight was holding me up because I might've collapsed if he hadn't been.

"Riiko, we have to go…" he whispered and started dragging me out of the room.

"Soshi…." I whispered, tears falling to the ground. Knight finally got sick of dragging me around and carefully put me into a princess lift.

When we got into the school, the halls were buzzing with voices. Then they saw us, everything was silent. Whispers were heard as we just stood there. Mika turned the corner and was facing us directly.

"Welcome back." She said sweetly, her smile was sickening, in her hand was what seemed to be a tape. Walking through the halls was immensely awkward because everyone was just staring at us and talking about us. When we got to drama class even Tanaka sensei wouldn't look at us directly. The bell rang and the static from the television in the corner was heard, then a video of what seemed to be Soshi's house flashed on the screen. My eyes went wide when I realized what this tape was of. It seemed slightly altered though because Mika's rude comments were nowhere to be heard throughout the video. Her voice had been cut out and her presence not filmed.

The video went through everything, the stripping, tying and beating of Soshi. Then an unfamiliar voice was heard in the film.

"This is what Riiko has gotten you into." They had changed Mika's voice so that it would sound like a man's.

I saw myself being thrown on the ground and tied as well. The beating had actually been unusually brutal, it made me want to stop watching but my head wouldn't turn away, even though some of the video was a lie, not including Mika at all, the mastermind of the plan. Then I finally knew what had really happened when the guys were beating on me. On the tape, it showed that Soshi had been cutting his ropes with the undiscovered Swiss army knife from his back pocket. When he had finally cut through, he had stood up and started frantically punching the guys who were beating on me, taking them on for me. Then the worst scene of all played, Soshi being punched in the face and falling down beside me, his head bounced on the floor from the impact and the video ended.

Tears were trickling down my cheeks, I couldn't believe what he had done for me. He had really meant it when he said he would do anything for me….but I don't know why. I'm not that special, why did he risk himself? Knight sighed and put me down in a chair. The class was silent and then Mika's voice was heard throughout the school.

"The reason why Asamoto Soshi is now in a coma and may not survive is because of Izawa Riiko, our newest student which transferred here at the start of this month as you have all just witnessed. The prom tomorrow will of course be a get well dance for Soshi and a confrontation for Ms. Riiko. Thank you for your time."

I was shocked and my mouth was gaping. I felt the glares of everyone in the classroom, all focused on me. "She might've been the one to kill him." "Don't become friends with her, she might kill you too." "She isn't a very good friend." "Who does she think she is?" the whispers, I heard them all. Mika pranced into the room at that moment, giving me a smirk. "Your life is over. I win." She mouthed.
