"Why the hell would you invite her? She's a nuisance!" Neil complained coldly and his eyes trembled of utter anger.

Milly shot Neil a glare and replied sternly, "Give her a chance."

Neil only rolled his eyes in annoyance and huffed.

Mako, Iroha, and Allen all exchanged glances and had shocked expressions.

"I agree with Neil. Rio is rather...troublesome..." Allen stated quietly and crossed his arms.

Totally ignoring Allen's words, Milly turned to Miki for acceptance, and Miki looked rather troubled.

"Can she stay? She's such a sweetie. Please?" Milly pleaded, her voice somehow bubbly but serious at the same time, and her gold eyes were full of hope.

"I...I guess..." Miki mumbled reluctantly and felt rather uncomfortable and uncertain as she bit her lip.

"Thanks," Rio told her with a smirk and handed Miki her present.

It was a medium-sized lime colored box and wrapped around the box was a silky violet ribbon.

Miki obtained the box and begun to open it with much caution. As she gradually opened a tiny portion of the box, an abrupt explosion of chocolate sauce splattered all over her face with outrageous force, and some bits of the sauce had managed to get into her eyes.

The gift immediately dropped to the ground as Miki held her eyes in pain and she tried to endure the agonizing pain.

"M-My c-cake!" Rio shouted in concern; however, the tone of her voice seemed...fake.

"M-Miki! A-Are you okay?!" Milly questioned frantically as she quickly went to her sister's side to aid her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Miki. I made a cake but I guess the heat got to it," Rio explained, trying to make her voice sound sympathetic, and put a clenched fist onto her heart.

"I-I'm o-okay," Miki lied, trying her best not to cry, and she quickly walked into the bathroom.

Neil then instantly stomped up to Rio INFURIATED and demanded furiously, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?"

"I made a chocolate cake and I guess it got too hot in there. It's pretty hot out," Rio replied casually and yawned.

"That doesn't even make any fucking sense!" Neil fumed, his ruby eyes growing fiery, and he scowled.

"Neil quit swearing, please. I'm sure she didn't mean it," Milly defended in a soft voice and gestured her hands so the animal dealer would calm down.

"You must be joking. You must be honestly fucking joking. Do you even KNOW what this girl has tried doing to Miki before?!" Neil retorted enraged as he growled and clenched his fists tightly.

"That was in the past, Neil," Rio stated quietly, trying to sound innocent, and she frowned.

Neil flashed her a deadly-looking glare.

"The past my ass."

Miki was sobbing. She was sobbing so hard in the bathroom; however, she sobbed silently. Finally, she was successful at wiping away all of the chocolate sauce off of her face and pink hair. Her eyes still hurt from the impact and now she was suffering from a chronic headache. Suddenly, she felt a tad light headed, and held a hand onto her forehead as she sniffed. Her vision was starting to fade as she tried to look into the mirror and a tiny moan escaped her lips. Now all she wanted to do was to just get away. She then gradually wiped away her tears and sniffed.

Miki opened the door to the bathroom reluctantly, keeping her head looking downwards to the floor the entire time, and quickly walked out the door.

"Miki!" Neil shouted and was about to chase after her; however, Milly grabbed his shoulder.

He looked back to see her only shake her head and Neil growled in response.

...

Outside with Miki...

The farmer was still in the area of her farm and was in her humongous grassy field.

She then started running and running. Unaware of where she was going and the tears were unleashing from her eyes as she continued to run.

Suddenly, she tripped on a tiny hole hidden in the grass, and excruciating pain was now being felt in her ankle.

She immediately fell to the ground and moaned in pain as she held her ankle.

It was the same ankle she injured awhile back and she now assumed that this particular ankle was weaken and sensitive to certain activity.

'Wait a go, Miki. You failed once again... What good are you? I cry, I stutter, I fear, I cave... I-I'm useless...' Miki thought negatively as she sobbed uncontrollably once more as she lied on the ground and attempted to endure the chronic pain in her ankle.

It started to rain and Miki whispered, "Of course it would rain..."

From in front of her, she suddenly saw black boots, and she jumped startled.

A flash of lighting was then seen once she looked up and she saw Dunhill smirking darkly.

His clothes were torn as they moved with the wind and Dunhill's eyes even almost seemed to glow red as his smirk grew and he started chuckling. He started to chuckle ominously once seeing her face full of terror and Miki's eyes widened immensely as she felt her heart beat increase rapidly.

Miki then instantly screamed as she felt utter fear consume her when suddenly another flash of lighting appeared in the sky and Dunhill had vanished.

The pinkette felt utterly mortified and felt traumatized from what had just occurred.

She panted as she blinked puzzled and asked herself out loud in a whisper, "A-Am I seeing t-things?"

The pinkette then heard someone advancing towards her quickly and she froze, believing that it was Dunhill about to charge at her.

"Miki!" a voice called and she recognized the voice.

It was Neil.

She turned her head slightly to see him sprinting towards her and he was panting.

His sprinting ceased once he was in front of her and he tried to catch his breath as he panted.

"Are you okay!?" he asked in a panic.

"I-I hurt my ankle," she cried and tried to stand; however, she only stumbled back, and moaned in pain.

"Idiot, careful!" Neil yelled in a harsh tone and helped her up cautiously as she moaned in pain some more while getting up.

As she finally stood, she abruptly hugged Neil tightly, and sobbed incredibly hard as her body trembled.

"N-Neil!" she sobbed as she felt her cheeks turning pink and she tightened her grip.

Neil wasn't sure of how to respond but he hugged her back gently.

"Idiot, I was worried about you..." he admitted quietly and felt the blood rush to his cheeks.

"N-Neil..." Miki whispered breathlessly and bit her lip.

"I can't believe that bitch did that to you..." Neil muttered bitterly.

"W...What happens, happens..." Miki replied quietly, her voice sounding shaky, and she breathed heavily as she held him.

"It doesn't matter! She could have hurt you way worse!" Neil yelled and scowled.

"N-Neil... I saw Dunhill just now..." Miki revealed reluctantly in a whisper.

Neil widened his eyes. "What!?"

"I saw him for a moment when the lighting hit...and then...he vanished..." Miki explained quietly.

"You're probably just seeing things..." Neil muttered.

"Hopefully..." Miki mumbled and buried her face into his shirt as she sobbed even more.

"I-I was so scared!" she screamed and continued to sob once more.

Neil stroke the back of her head and held her tighter.

"It's okay. I'm here now..." he comforted in a gentle tone.

It was then silence for a few moments as Neil stroke the back of her head and she went into a daze.

"Neil...I think...I...I...like...like...y-" Miki tried saying; however, her vision grew black, and she then was unconscious.

"Miki! Miki? Miki!?"

Neil then felt her forehead and discovered she had a fever.

"Damn it!" he cussed under his breath and picked her up bridal-style.

Little did they know...that a certain someone was currently watching them from behind a tree as Neil carried her back to the house.
