Jasmine sat down on one of the chairs, opened the folder, and held up the first of the scans. It was an aerial view, clearly labeled with the sides of the brain. Jasmine frowned and sharply gasped when she noted the gray matter and the white matter relocation. Soto raised an eyebrow and looked at the same scan. He frowned when he realized he couldn't understand a thing, and put the transparent plastic back down on the table once more. Dino took a seat on the other side of the table.

Jasmine took a look at each of the other ones in the folder; those were of the unspecialized brain scan. One after the other, Jasmine's expression darkened and darkened until she also finished going over the flame detection ones as well.

"What is it?" Soto raised an eyebrow at Jasmine.

"Kaia's brain…five percent is already shut down; and more than half has already converted to negative dying will," she said. She held back a small meep of pity for Kaia as she looked past the glass panel, but her eyes began to water; Jasmine sighed. "If there was a way to wake that five percent up again, she could be saved…"

"I-Is this all Kyouya's fault?" Dino raised an eyebrow. Jasmine looked at the Cavallone boss. He seemed strangely curious, but Jasmine decided to tell. There was, in fact, no harm in telling. Jasmine smiled darkly and began to speak.

"In fact, no it isn't. That is the truth – Kaia's infliction is not the complete and absolute result of Hibari's most powerful strike of raw force and power. But yes, it was the trigger." Jasmine smiled to herself and looked sadly at Kaia's still form. Dino was sputtering in disbelief.

"Y-You mean he was the cause, but he isn't at the same time?!"

"No. The strike he inflicted upon her head was the trigger to the trap that had been already laid," Soto said. "Sadly, that trap was tied to her blood."

"Tied to her blood?" repeated Dino with heightened interest. Jasmine huffed.

"It's a long story, okay? You'll know in time."

Dino was unsatisfied.

"Is there anything that Kaia really doesn't like, Soto?" Jasmine suddenly asked. Soto hesitated, but went all out.

"Kaia doesn't like small or skimpy clothes for a start; she doesn't like rude people, things that stink, nausea, perverts, hot temperatures, and she gets pissed off a lot when people play pranks on her."

"Anything else…?" Jasmine frowned.

"Well, I'm not always around her, scrutinizing her every second of her life to find every fault in her."

"In other words, you're not a stalker?" laughed Dino. "Why can't we talk about things Kaia likes?"

"Ah; we can just do the opposite, and it's probably the same thing. Go on, Soto. Tell us," Jasmine raised an eyebrow at Soto. He sighed and went on.

"She likes bakeries in general, as well as the food they make. She likes the rain, cold temperatures, the wind in her hair, roller coasters, cute things, sweet foods, and loves to have fun."

"This isn't going to help," frowned Jasmine.

"Then what are you trying to do anyway?" asked Dino.

"There must be a way of 'waking up' Kaia's brain again. A way of awaking her conscious to convert her brain's functions back to normal – that's what we need."

"To 'wake her up'?" repeated Soto. "How would we ever will?"

"If the negative dying will advances to completely infect the brain, she's dead, dim-wit," sighed Jasmine. "I know there's a way of reversing the effects, I know it. I just don't know what it is…"

"Isn't there an encyclopedia or something with information on diseases?" yawned Soto.

"No; this isn't a disease – it's a combination of diseases and a very dangerous condition," corrected Jasmine, "which is not a disease. Therefore, there is no immediate cure unless strenuous research is done."

"Then can't you-" Dino began.

"Time," said Jasmine. "Time, time, time! We just don't have the time to research! Though both the PTSD and the BPD are not life-threatening, the spread of negative dying will is affected by those disorders, and therefore is very unpredictable; she could die next year, next month, next week, or even tomorrow!" She groaned with stress.

"Never…in my career have I ever failed to save anyone…"

"That's a short career; and plus, nobody's perfect," Soto shrugged. He narrowed his eyes. "How exactly can we save Kaia again?"

"We have to 'wake her up,' " repeated Jasmine. She looked through the window again. "I'll get Kaia; Soto, I think it's time she got home."

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Ohlalala, it's getting a little risky… :D

Well, the way I see it, Soto took Kaia to a certain amusement park… *cough cough* Heh, well I'll let you guys think about it, and come back tomorrow, I hope, to read what comes next!

Tune in tomorrow, and thanks for reading!

I want reviews and votes and everything… But…

Oh well, I'll still be writing either way, so tune in for my next installment!

Have an awesome life, everyone~!
