Three days.It had been three days and she hadn't said a word. I stayed by her side for thw whole time, closing my eyes only when someone came to watch. I made one nurse promise to not leave while I was resting.I didn't trust her.Good. She tried to leave when I pretended to sleep.So I grabbed her wrist and said coldly: "You promised". She had wrenched her wrist from me , fear shown in her face.

"Fine.Leave and I will stay awake until some of her FRIENDS arrive," I said. She ran away crying.

"What is the matter here?" asked Clef , walking in.

"She promised, naughty people.Not keeping promises, your people do not deserve her protection," I said , gesturing to the girl. Her eyes were open , but staring. Just sort of glazed over , as though dead.

"Why didn't you tell me she was awake?!" Clef shouted , running to her side.

"Because she's not," I replied , waving a hand over her unblining eyes.

"I don't understand , why isn't she responding?" Clef said , checking her wrist.

"Shock, I suppose.She doesn't want you here , leave," I said , pushing him away.

"How do you know what she wants , she won't talk!"Clef protested.

"I'm the only one who hears her , you are all deaf.She wants to see her friends,"I said.

"You're insane!I should get you removed from here!" Clef shouted , approaching. She stirred. For once after three days of no response , she blinked and glared at Clef icily.She looked to me and spoke with trouble evident.It took her a moment to make the sounds.

"ssss.....sssttt....sttttaaaayyy....stay," she choked out , her pulse increasing.

"My god. What's happened here?" Clef said , looking at me.

"I don't know," I said , as he rushed out. She smiled at me , and went back to staring away into some strange land in the air , as though it were real.

"What happened?! Hikaru! Speak to us!" Umi said , running to her side.

"Who are you?" asked Fuu.

"Just a caring wolf in sheep's clothing," I joked. Hikaru smiled.

"Hikaru , what's wrong?"Umi asked again , taking her hand. She said nothing. Only stared.

"She hasn't spoken one word but stay since she was taken here," I said.

"When did she say that?" asked Fuu.

"Just a few moments ago," I replied.

"To Clef?" Umi said confused.

"No," I said , looking down into the magic knight of fire's eyes.

"Who?" Fuu said , watching the bizarre scene.

"She doesn't want to tell you," he said , breaking out into a jolly laugh.

"What are you talking about?!She'll tell us!You're lying!"Umi stammered.

"She's laughing at you," I said , watching Hikaru's face break into a smile.

"Hikaru!Give us a sign!" Umi said , kneeling at her friends side. Slowly , she raised her hand off the bed and placed it on my open palm.Her grip tightened , she was holding my hand.

"You sick......(censored)!What have you done to her?!Is this some kind of spell?" Umi shouted.

"She wants you to leave now.She doesn't take kindly to such bitter words while in her state,"I said , patting her hand carefully.We had found scars on her arm , and there was new open wounds so we had to be careful with her arms and hands for the time being.

"We'll get you removed from here!What did you do to her , you bast-" Umi started.

"hhhhh," Hikaru choked out.

"What is it?" Umi said , kneeling again.

"hhhhheeee....he stay," she said ,fire burning in her eyes.

"You don't know what you're saying!You're under his spell!Nurse!Get in he- "Umi started.Hikaru pushed her away , and winced as she created a fire wall around herself and I.

"Who are you?" Fuu said , walking towards him.

"Ffffffrrrrriieeennd....he friend," Hikaru spoke softly. Her eyes went glaze once more , but the fire wall stayed up stronger than before. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead , and I quickly wiped them away.

"It's okay , you can let them in now.I'll just tell them who I am," I said , watching the flames slowly die.

"Good , we need a name here,"Clef said ,narrowing his eyes.

"I apologize for the firewall , she's still in shock and doesn't want to be alone.So now , I will introduce myself. My name is-" I began.
