Update! Enjoy everyone!

"Nii-san"

Kaito turned to his brother, who was tugging at the end of his shirt.

"Yes Haruto?"

"Is Rio-san going to wake up?" Haruto asked.

"I… we'll see Haruto."

Haruto nodded as the medic and her mother ran into the room.

"Kotori, grab me a wet towel please." Mrs. Mizuki ordered.

Kotori nodded as she handed her mother a wet cloth. "The king will make his presence soon; he has some business to attend to."

Mrs. Mizuki gently dabbed Rio's face with the cloth and gently grabbed Rio's wrist. "She has a pulse. She'll wake up sooner or later. Nothing to serious or deadly."

"So, she'll be fine?" Haruto asked.

Mrs. Mizuki nodded, "She used to do this a lot when she was younger. That's why almost no one knew her."

"Really?"

"Yes, we don't know the cause. But the grand priest predicted that it wasn't anything too serious. We just had to keep a close eye on her."

"The grand priest?" Kaito asked.

"Yes, the priest made a prediction about a terrible war arising soon. So far, it's never happened… Mrs. Mizuki said quietly.

"What's wrong?"

"The prediction… it was said to come true when the lost princess had returned and that we were all in grave danger. We're all happy she's returned, but the prophecy has spooked everyone."

"What prophecy?" Haruto and Kaito asked.

"I had forgotten that your mother didn't want us to tell you that wretched prophecy." Mrs. Mizuki said.

"Why?" Haruto asked.

"She didn't want you two to listen to those words. Your mother disliked the grand priest very much, no one really knew why."

"Tell us the prophecy!" Haruto said with a smile.

Mrs. Mizuki looked at Kaito for approval, which he nodded; curious himself.

Mrs. Mizuki sighed, "When the princess has fallen war shall arise. If the fallen princess awakens, doom is brought to her and the kingdom itself."

Haruto looked at Rio, "That's a tragic prophecy…"

Mrs. Mizuki nodded, "One of the very worse in centuries. That was another reason why no one knew the princess, her parents tried to conceal herself from the kingdom."

"So, she had no friends?" Haruto asked.

"I'm afraid so. The only one who was known to spare their time to spend their time with her was your mother." Mrs. Mizuki said with a sigh.

"Mother, we have a couple of wounded knights to attend to." Kotori said.

Mrs. Mizuki nodded, "Go and prep things up."

"Understood." Kotori said with a bow and walked quickly out.

Mrs. Mizuki sighed, "I have to go now." She said as she curtsied and she quickly walked out of the room closing it behind her.

"That's horrible Nii-san." Haruto whispered.

Kaito nodded as he sighed.

"K-Kaito… H-Haruto…"

Kaito and Haruto both looked towards Rio. "Rio-san!" Haruto exclaimed.

Rio slowly opened her eyes, "Kaito… Haruto…"

"You're awake!" Haruto exclaimed.

Rio softly smiled.

"Good to see you up." Kaito said as he stroked her cheek.

Rio slowly lifted her hand and grabbed his hand, "Kaito-kun…"

Kaito softly smiled.

"I-I remember everything…" Rio said softly.

"I know, save your strength. Ryoga's going to come see you later."

"Ryoga… Ryoga-kun…" Rio slowly mumbled, "Ani…"

"Yup, you take a rest." Kaito said.

"Kaito…"

"Yeah?"

"I want to go to the beach…"

"When you're feeling better."

Rio sighed, "Please?"

The door burst opened as Ryoga ran in, "Rio!"

"Ani!" Rio exclaimed as she slowly got up. Tears were starting to form and were very close to overflowing down the sides of her cheek.

"Rio!" Ryoga said as he enveloped her in a hug.

"Ani…" Rio said as she hugged him back, the tears had broken free and were streaming freely down the sides of her face.

"Where have you been?"

"With a dragon."

Ryoga let go and grabbed her shoulders, "A what?"

Rio wiped her tears, "A dragon."

"What? Which one?"

"The all mighty leviathan dragon." Rio said.

"Kaito, which dragon is that?"

"The dragon my father died trying to earn its trust." Kaito mumbled.

"Oh…" Ryoga said as he looked down. "Are you alright?"

Rio nodded.

"Thank you Kaito." Ryoga said.

Kaito nodded, "No problem."

"Ryoga"

"Yes Rio?"

"Is it alright if I'm engaged to someone?" Rio asked.

"What?"

"Engaged-"

"I know that, I meant who."

Rio looked at her brother, "You promise you won't kill him if I tell you?"

"Fine…"

Rio gazed at Kaito who looked away.

"You picked Kaito?" Ryoga asked.

Rio nodded, "It was before I regained my memories. Please let us be together. I'll be happy."

Ryoga bit his lip; he opened his mouth and closed it again. He sighed, "I…"

"Ryoga, it's only yes or no."

Ryoga sighed as he thought about it carefully. He looked at Kaito and the look into Rio's eyes.

"Please Ryoga."

Ryoga stood up. Kaito was a trustable person, but Rio was a frail person. But, so was Haruto and Kaito handled him perfectly fine. So wouldn't he do the same for Rio? "Sure… I guess…" he said with a sigh.

Rio hugged her brother tightly, "Thank you Ani!"

Ryoga let go and turned towards Kaito, "Don't make me regret this…" he said as he walked out the door with his eyes closed, he had a whole lot of thinking to do. Little did he know a knight was leaning against the wall.

The knight in silver armor slowly sank to the ground as he ran his fingers through his gray hair. "Rio-san…" he finished with a sigh as he rested his head on his knees.

Little did he know someone was watching him "A secret admirer huh? Hmm… intriguing." he said as he removed his cloak. He walked over to a corner.

"Vector." A dark voice said. His figure was cloaked in the shadows of the dark hallway.

"Yes my lord?"

"Had the little siren awaken?"

"Yes she has."

"Lower their defenses. It's time for the prophecy to begin."

The priest nodded as he quickly sped off.

The figure slowly disappeared, just as a dark purple number 17 illuminated brightly on the back of his shadowy black cape.
