Luckily Nephrite was behind her and didn't see anything. She turned to Nephrite and asked him to wait in the living room. Nephrite was hesitant to leave Luke alone with the stranger but then someone else walked into the room. Nephrite was surprised when he saw Fei's face and asked him why he was there. Fei simply said, "I'll explain everything so why don't we make our way to the living room. Don't worry Nephrite your friend is safe with Bridget." Nephrite saw how much Fei trusted the lady so he decided to do what she asked and they both went out of the room. In the living room Fei explained how he met Bridget and Nephrite was partially listening to him but was too worried about Luke. Suddenly they both heard Bridget's voice, "I know it rude to listen in on other's conversations but I fail to see why I seem to be an interesting subject to be talking about."
Nephrite stood up and anxiously asked Bridget, "How is he??" Bridget looked a bit surprised when Nephrite said the word 'he'. "Well "he" is doing fine but I think the news that I am about to give you will give you quite a shock." explained Bridget as she took a seat next to Fei. Fei began to introduce Nephrite to Bridget and Bridget continued her explanation. "You see Nephrite your friend is not exactly who you think "she" is." Nephrite's eyes widened when he heard the word 'she'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^
"What do you mean 'she'? Luke is a boy..isn't he?" Nephrite asked hesitantly. Bridget was hesitant about answering him and finally said, "Well for some reason she was hiding her true identity from you. But I'm sure she did it for a reasonable purpose." Bridget added reassuringly when Nephrite looked a bit sad.
"I'll strike a bargain with you Nephrite once she wakes up I'll make sure you'll be able to see her and ask her then." said Bridget. Nephrite just nodded at Bridget to let her know he accepted the terms and was murmured a quiet thank you, even though he knew it wasn't a proper 'thank you'. But there was just too much on his mind and he couldn't bring himself to speak just yet.
After a week of bed rest Lita fortunately recovered and the first person she saw when she woke up was Nephrite. However, when she saw the expression on Nephrite's face she immediately knew something was wrong. Lita looked at the unfamiliar settings around her and when she opened her mouth to ask him what was wrong, Nephrite gently placed a finger on her lips as a silent command for her not to speak yet. Nephrite closed his eyes and gave into a light sigh, "Why didn't you tell me?"
At first Lita just gave him a puzzled expression and followed his gaze to her chest. (a/n: NO Nephrite is not being a pervert!!!! I'm just trying to find a way to let Lita know what he was talking about!!) At that point she finally understood what he meant and looked down at her lap with shame. Even though her face was hidden behind her brown hair Nephrite saw a tear run down her pale cheek. Nephrite felt a slight painful tightening feeling in his chest when he saw the tear and lifted her head up with his index finger. His eyes met a teary face with regretful and sad bright green eyes. He leaned his face near hers and gently kissed the tears away from her eyes. (a/n: look familiar??) Her small fragile form was cradled lovingly into his warm body and her face was pressed up against him chest. Her small shoulders started to shake when her muffled sobs were faintly heard and Nephrite felt her small hand clench his shirt.
"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to lie to you." said her shaking, unsteady tiny voice. Nephrite put a comforting hand on the top of her head and slowly smooth down her soft hair. He kept her in his arms until she calmed down. He leaned back a little and gently cupped her cheek in his hand. "What happened?"
Lita brought her small hands to her face so she could wipe away the remaining tears off her face. She took a deep breath and started to tell her story.

Yes that is the end of the chapter I'm not sure if I will continue this story because I don't have the time to do so. The next chapter is a kind of important key to the story but I haven't really decided. I'm not even sure if there will be a next chapter haha. Truth is when I started this I had absolutely no idea to what the heck I was doing. Kind of a spur of the moment thing. I'll appreciate all the reviews I can get which I expect not many since I haven't updated in a loooooong time. I guess it'll depend on how many reviews I get and I'll see if I'll find to time to actually continue this story.
