That's all for now folks!

I hope you like this chapter and I'm waiting for reactions xD.

Law took off his rubber gloves and threw them in a rubbish bin, inside Volff's quarters.

He covered again the old man with his blanket until his chest and sat on a chair beside him.

"Everything seems to be fine… It just needs time for your junky bone to recover its stability." he informed his patient.

Volff frowned in annoyment at the boy's words and looked at him.

"I didn't miss your rudeness at all!"

The boy smirked at him amused for teasing him.

"How is the girl?"

"I'm going to check on her after you but something tells me it will be the last time I will do that." he answered and looked at him.

"Her back doesn't hurt her at all and the surgery wound is healed…" he explained.

Volff observed his eyes and they weren't as bright as usual when a patient of his from the clinic, gets cured. He could tell the teenager in front of him was troubled about something.

"So, that means she can leave now, right?" the elder asked.

Law lowered his head and focused his gaze elsewhere.

"Yeah, I guess…" he replied but deep inside he hoped the girl would still feel some pain during the examination so he could order her to lie on her place for some more days.

On the other hand, as a doctor he was feeling remorse for wishing something like that for his patient as that she was supposed to be from the beginning.

However, she was a nice company despite all of their arguments. He could talk about medical things with her and she was an interesting person after all.

"What about staying here?" Volff questioned Law again and the boy looked at him surprised.

"Well, she saved my life and I must keep the rule… Give and Take... you know! Is not like I'm suggesting this because I'm a good person! Don't get the wrong idea… I don't need other lazy heads inside this house." he continued.

"She will return in her family." the boy answered remembering the girl's response when he asked her about this topic, previously the same day. He wasn't still sure, though, if she was telling the truth as he had this weird feeling about her answer.

"Hmm, that's good… I will ask her then what she needs in return tomorrow morning when I feel a little better."

"Do as you wish…" he replied and stood up to leave the room.

"Just tell her to visit me tomorrow!"

"Alright, Mr. Junk!" he said and closed the door on time before he gets a book on his head.

~…~

Law entered the living room and found Elga studying a medical book about digestive system and the functions of each organ.

"That's a good one. It explains pathophysiology in detail." he commented to break the silence.

"Yeah…" she just said back still being focused on her book.

"When I first read about this system, liver is the one that impressed me the most. It's remarkable the way it can regenerate itself."

Elga lifted her head to face him as this phrase caught her attention.

"I know right! It's crazy it's the only organ that can do that!" she answered surprised.

Law smiled at the scene of the girl being so excited about this medical knowledge and sat beside her on the coach, leaving a kidney dish on his lap with his tools inside to take off the stiches.

"I need now to examine you."

Elga turned her back and lifted her sweatshirt to help Law have a better view of the wound and he touched it.

"Do you feel any pain?"

"No, I feel fine!"

The young doctor didn't know if that was the answer he wanted to hear and let a sigh, exhausted from his own thoughts.

"It looks fine to me too. I think it's time to remove the stiches."

The boy took a tongs and a small scalpel and started working on it with gentle moves.

The girl couldn't understand her feelings too. When she first came in this house she was suspicious about everyone but then she got to know them better and trusted them.

Bepo was awakening her inner child inside her soul. He was such a cute fuzzy bear, always changing his mood so easily into a gloomy one but so supportive and trustworthy at the same time. Penguin and Shachi were so kind to her and tried to make her feel comfortable like she was living in her own house. Law may didn't want to show his worry but she knew he cared about her as a patient and Elga believed he would be a good doctor in the future.

Every stich Law removed from her back, the girl knew she was closer to leave this house.

She heard Volff's words towards the boy that day and she knew she couldn't stay here with them.

She tried to be mentally prepared for this but still she couldn't help not to get attached to them.

Elga felt her eyes getting wet but she held back those tears of hers calming herself as she would never let someone see her crying.

Suddenly, she didn't feel Law's hands anymore and tried to collect herself.

"I finished… Try not to push your limits too much and take care of your back. There is a possibility you suffer from back pain in the future." he warned her.

"Alright, thank you!"

Law stood up and walked towards the window to see the view outside.

"Are you going to go back to your family now?"

"Uhm, yeah…" the girl answered.

Law looked at her eyes to see a sign if she was lying but she turned her gaze.

"At least you will have one less trouble in your mind!" she said smirking at him.

"It wasn't like that… You just found it too difficult to follow my orders for some reason!"

"Well, doctors are the worse patients don't they say?"

Law smiled at this one as he thought she might be right.

"Oi! Don't step on my foot!"

"Then, stop pushing me too idiot!"

"Uhm, guys I can't see!"

"Bepo you are too big, step aside!"

"I'm sorry…"

They both turned to face the source of the voices and saw three heads popping from the doorframe.

"Baka! You were too loud! They saw us!" Penguin shouted to his cousin.

"Hellooooo Elga, chaaaannn~~~"

"Hey Shachi! How are you?"

"I'm fineeeeee~~~", he answered and felt unconscious from excitement.

"Uhm…. I'm sorry!" the bear said.

"Why are you even sorry now?!" Elga and the second cousin yelled at him simultaneously.

"You shouldn't be here…", Law said giving them a glare for interrupting the conversation.

"Elga-chan? Are you alright now?", the bear asked her concerned.

"Yes Bepo, I'm completely cured!"

Bepo gave her a huge smile feeling happy about those news.

Shachi got up from the floor, excited and entered the room.

"We should celebrate it!"

"That's a good idea cousin! What about throw a party tomorrow?", Penguin continued the other boy's idea and both of them looked at Law as asking for his permission.

He really didn't want to get scolded by Volff for causing a mess but he also couldn't cope with the looks of those two. However, he decided to be negative about this suggestion until Bepo entered the discussion and took this cute expression of his to make him say yes.

"Stop acting cute!", the boy murmured to him, sighing in defeat.

"Alright, just don't make a mess here…"

"Aye aye Law!", all the three of them shouted at his order.

The girl was watching them silently all this time feeling bad about her thoughts. It seemed like she had a different plan for the future and really didn't want to break their hearts but couldn't do otherwise.

*I'm sorry guys… I just can't get more attached to you…*

"Alright, it's late! We can talk about this tomorrow after work! Now go to sleep.", Law said and everyone agreed that was the best thing to do and walked towards the exit of the room.

"Goodnight, Elga-chaaaan~!", Shachi shouted to the girl.

"G-goodnight!"

"Goodnight Elga-chan!"

"Sweet dreams everyone!", she replied to all of them smiling.

Law was the last one to be left there as he had to pick up his tools and the dirty bandages.

Finally, he went to leave but the girl stood up and did something that he wasn't expecting.

She wrapped her hands around his torso and embraced him into a tight hug.

The boy widened him eyes in shock as he didn't know how to act. He wasn't really used to the physical touch and just kept looking at the girl who had buried her face on his chest.

He couldn't help but sweat drop in awkwardness and tried to cough as a sign for the girl to give him back his personal space.

However, Elga continued hugging him.

"Thank you!", she said to him and Law covered his face with his hat to hide the shyness.

*Thank you, for everything… All these nice memories… I will never forget them!*

The boy didn't reply her but raised his hand and patted her head.

The girl broke the hug and made one step further in order to give him some space.

"Goodnight!", she said to him with bright eyes.

"Goodnight.", Law responded too and walked towards the exit and closed the door behind him.

He stood outside of it for a while having a smile on his lips.

*Such a silly girl!*, he thought and headed for his room having a feeling that he wanted to tell her something but he forgot about it.

*Well, if you forget about it, it must had been something unimportant, don't they say?*, he reassured himself.

~…~

The next morning, Elga waiting until everyone had left the house.

She also checked on the old man and he was fast asleep.

She could wait till they return back home but she really hated farewells and she thought that was the best for all of them.

*I've got one last thing to do…*

She headed herself to Law's champers holding a book on her one hand.

The title was 'Modern methods of heart surgeries' and placed it upon his desk. She remembered he was interested on this one and wanted to leave it to him.

*You better take a good care of it Baka!*

After some minutes she found herself on the other side of the entrance door, outside from the house.

"So, this is it…", she whispered to herself and looked at the scenery in front of her in an effort to memorize the place inside her mind.

She left a sigh and started walking to the direction of the forest leaving behind her the small wooden house.

And that's the end of the story…
