Sandra stood out on the balcony of her apartment that night. Just like Kyoya predicted, they would settled the final round with a team battle. Sandra felt a little worried since she knew that Kyoya was going to participate in this battle no matter what anybody else said. If he hurts himself anymore than he already has then he might not recover for awhile. And if he damages Leone too much then it might be damaged beyond repair. What if that happens? He's been with Leone forever. If he loses Leone who knows what he'll be like. He may not be the same again if that happens. But I can't stop him from battling can I? Sandra shook the thoughts away. I just have to believe in Kyoya. He'll be fine.

Sandra sighed and walked back inside, grabbing her guitar and heading for the door. Alex looked at her. "Where are you going?" she asked.

"Just out. It's surprisingly hard switching from sharing a room with three boys back to normal," Sandra answered, making up an excuse.

Alex nodded. "Alright, but don't be too long ok? You need to get your sleep for the final battle tomorrow."

Sandra nodded and headed out. She went to the river and sat down, watching the water flow. She played a small tune and that helped take her mind off things for awhile. Music always took her mind off things. Adding to that, the stars were shining brightly, which relaxed her, and the sounds of the flowing river also relaxed her.

"Hey Sandra," Sandra stopped playing and turned to see Nile and Demure standing behind her.

"Hey guys," she greeted. "What are you doing out here?"

"Well, we came out looking for Kyoya but instead we found you," Nile answered.

"Oh thanks," Sandra said, sarcastically.

"What are you doing out?" Demure asked.

"Oh just needed to get out and think," Sandra answered.

"So why did you bring your guitar?" Nile asked.

"Music helps calm me down," Sandra replied. "Sure I love to bey-battle but that's not all I do. Sometimes I just need to relax and take a break."

"I understand that," Demure replied. "It is stressful knowing we're so close to becoming the World Champions yet so far away."

"That's part of it," Sandra murmured as she turned back to her guitar and strummed some strings slowly. "So are you going to keep looking for Kyoya?"

"I don't think so," Nile answered, shaking his head. "We will never find him. We couldn't find him last year when he did this."

"So he wondered off at night by himself last year too huh? Sounds like Kyoya," Sandra commented.

"Yeah, he never changes," Demure said.

"So what's this show you're going to do anyway?" Nile questioned. "You never told us."

Sandra looked at him. "Can't you wait to find out?" she asked.

"No because we might not find out," Nile answered.

"That isn't true because whether we win or lose tomorrow I am dragging you two as well as Kyoya to that party," Sandra said.

"I'll go. I don't mind parties," Demure replied.

"That means I only have to drag Kyoya and Nile," Sandra said.

"What makes you think you can drag both of us?" Nile asked.

"Who ever said it'd be just me?" Sandra countered. "Alex would help me do it, and don't think she wouldn't."

"After seeing her chase you, I believe it," Nile replied, sighing.

Sandra then looked back at the river. "You know, if you want to find Kyoya he's probably over near the warehouse. That's probably his favorite spot in the whole city."

"Why would you say that?" Demure asked.

"Because the place is quiet and nobody is there since the Face Hunters gang disbanded," Sandra answered.

"He should be resting," Nile growled.

"Nile, you still need to learn one thing about Kyoya," Sandra said. "He doesn't listen to anybody."

"He listened to you when you suggested that I battle Tsubasa," Nile reminded her.

"That's because it was me," Sandra argued. "He'll do almost anything I ask him to."

"Almost anything?" Demure echoed.

"You don't want to know. It's something Alex said earlier," Sandra explained.

"You're right. We don't want to know," Nile agreed.

"Come on. I'll show you where I think Kyoya is," Sandra said, getting up and leading the two toward the warehouse.

"Won't he get mad if he sees us?" Demure asked.

"He won't get mad," Sandra assured him. "He isn't mad right now, trust me. He's what I would call in a competitive mood. Besides, who ever said he was going to see us?"

They stayed silent as they entered the warehouse area and sure enough they saw Kyoya standing on the dock, staring out at the water.

"This time I'll settle things, once and for all, Gingka!" Kyoya said as he pulled up his launcher as if he were going to train, but he winced with pain and dropped it.

"I told you he was here," Sandra said silently.

"I bet this is what he did last year too," Demure whispered.

"Of course," Nile sighed.

They all watched Kyoya as he seemed to recover and pick up his launcher, slowly. He stood there silently for a moment before he spoke. "You three can come out now."

Nile and Demure froze, but Sandra just walked up beside him calmly. "Nice night," she commented.

Kyoya nodded and looked at her out of the corner of his eye. "Seems like I'm not the only one who thought so."

"Yeah, I was out," Sandra admitted. "Getting some relaxation in before the final match tomorrow."

Kyoya nodded. Nile and Demure came up behind them. "We're so close," Nile said.

"Yeah," Demure agreed.

"Kyoya, when you go out there tomorrow to battle, who are you battling with?" Sandra questioned.

Kyoya looked her in the eyes. "It's not even a question. You're my choice. My only goal is to defeat Gingka, but Team Wild Fang's goal is to win the World Championships. You can help the team reach that goal. Even if I'm defeated you can get us to that goal."

"Kyoya..." Sandra breathed. She smiled. "I'd hug you but I remember what happened last time."

"It was nothing," Kyoya shrugged.

"Didn't look like nothing to me," Sandra argued.

"I'll be fine," Kyoya assured her.

Sandra still felt a little uncertain but nodded anyway. "Well, it's getting late so I'd better head back before Alex starts freaking out. I'll see you guys in the morning."

"We'll meet at the stadium in the team room," Kyoya said. Sandra nodded and headed back to her apartment.

Sort of a filler chapter. Anyway please R&R :)
