Last time...........

Queen gave a small sigh. " Sorry, doctor, but I seem to have lost sense of what has happened." Kai rolled his eyes. Unfortunately Queen had'nt forgotten about the last tournament at least a year ago. "What I did remember was-"

Present

He stood there, waiting for his sentence. 'Even when shes hurt she still manages to be a b-'

"A different man on top of me, and then I blacked out." Queen finished, earning a frown from Kai.

'What did she want?' he thought. He knew that there was no evidence that he was'nt innocent, so basically she could just tell them a blunt lie if she wanted to, and ever since their first meeting, Kai knew that that was what Queen had been waiting for.

"Are you sure you had'nt just forgotten, my dear?" asked the doctor sweetly.

Queen noded her head firmly. "Yes, Hiwatari will never do something like that."

Mrs. Whysmith narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "What makes you say that?"

"I just know for a fact that Hiwatari does'nt have the balls to do it." replied Queen calmly.

"What?" growled Kai, and Queen smirked. "Are you saying that I'm not capable of being a man, wench?!?"

"You assumed it, not I."

"Alright, that's enough." sighed the doctor, opening her suitcase. "Kai, can you make youself useful and leave so I can tend to-"

"Queen." said the patient, pretending to be serious, or so Kai thought.

"Oh, yes, so I can tend to Queen, okay, my dear Kai?" He flinched.

Quietly, he departed.

'That woman.' Kai referred to the doctor. 'Who does she think she is? Kicking me out of my own guest room... Still. What were those marks? They look really old, older than two days. What is going on? I really doubt that Queen's going to tell me. Then again, I won't tell her anything either.'

The door finally opened after an hour, and Mrs. Whysmith came out, looking grim.

"Hello, Kai." She greeted. "We had a little talk with what had happened. Now, I have some good news, and some bad news. Which one would you like first?"

'I hate this.' "It does'nt matter, really." Kai said sarcastically. "There's no difference."

"Alrighty, then, first, the good news is, miss Queen does'nt seem to be too badly injured, so she is surely going to be gone from the shock, and will be slightly better in a few days time.'

Kai scoffed. 'They might as well tell every one that Boris is back.' he thought darkly. 'Great, what's the bad news? There is nothing worse than that wench getting better and returning to making my life an ongoing fight'

"The bad news is," she went on, "During that time, she needs she needs a chance to fully recover, so basically, what I am saying, is that Queen will have to be in your care and assistance for two weeks."

'Humph. Why does'nt this woman get to the point? She blabs on too much-' "WHAT?!?!" Kai shouted, clearly sure that the patient in the room was listening. "QUEEN. IN. MY. PLACE. FOR. TWO. WEEKS?!?!?!"

"Yes, young Kai, I'm sure you'd take good care of her for me, seeing as she is far away from her home and all." she smiled, knowing Kai would have no choice but to accept. Mrs. Whysmith then took her suitcase, and began to walk away. Kai, who had been registering what she said noticed Queen's clothes tucked underneath her arm.

"Um, what are you going to do with those?" asked Kai.

The doctor stopped, and turned around, looking more serious than she had all night. "After tonights events, I am to take them for pregnancy tests."

Kai felt a little hollow. Sure, Queen was his worst "adversary", but if he had'nt let them carry on that far, then this might not have happened. Guilt was carefully making its way into Kai, making him uncomfortable.

"I'm glad that you feel the same way, Kai." Mrs. Whysmith said, giving his shoulder a pat. "I never knew you cared." she left him gaping at what she had said. Him? Care? As if.

Knock. Knock.

Kai slowly opened the door, only to meet a pair of angry and tired looking eyes.

"What do you want, Hiwatari?" she asked coldly.

"Can't I just go in? It is my house, after all."Kai replied, sitting at an armchair. Both fell silent.

"Look, I know you don't want this as much as I do." Queen said flatly, breaking the silence, staring at the pale yellow robe that she now wore. "It doesn't take a scientist to know when they're imposing

"Humph. How long did that take you to figure out?" Kai replied, turning away to stare out at the window. A loud THUMP! Made Kai sharply turn back to the bed, only to find that Queen was'nt there. His eyes scanned the room, finally spotting a sprawled figure on the floor, trying vey hard to get up.

"What are you doing?" Kai asked, trying to hide the sound of amusement of his voice, as he saw Queen struggle to stay up.

"What does it look like?" Queen shot back, finally in a standing position. She wavered a little. "I'm getting away form you, so I can return to my home, and I don't need anyones help!" she suddenly toppled backwards, and as she prpared herself for the painful landing, a pair of strong arms caught her easily.

"Um, you sure about that?" Kai said, smirking. (A.N. ())

Queen snarled, and gave him a punch on the cheek, making him drop her in surprise. She gasped at the impact, landing hard on her back.

Kai's eyes narrowed. Boy, this wench is really getting in his nerves. He stared at the girl lying on the ground in front of him, sending him death glares no doubt, but knowing full well that she was harmless in the meantime.

"Never. Touch. Me. Again. Hiwatari." she snapped.

Kai was getting tired of this.

"Listen, if you want to see your brother again, then you better let me take you back to your bed. He came to us when you left, and he was worried about you, so for his sake will you just listen?"

Queen simmered down, the asked in a quiet voice, "My brother?"

"Yes, he said that if we found you, we were to phone him so he could pick you up." he stared at the pitiful figure on the ground. 'Sigh. Theres no point to this arguing. As much as I would like to see her suffer, even I would'nt leave a sick person this way. Hmm, maybe a truce? Right, I'm going soft. A truce, until she gets better, and no longer.' He extended his hand, and Queen narrowed her eyes again.

"What's the catch?" she asked.

"Nothing. Just until you get better, and no longer, I promise."

Kai could tell that she was weighing her desicion.

"Fine, then." Queen gave in, and took Kai's hand. "A truce." With that Kai helped her back into the bed, a little uneasy getting this close after seeing her half naked that night.

'Where did that come from?' he thought, disgusted with himself. Then again, he was a guy, afterall. Queen settled back into the bed without a word. "Do you want some food?"

Queen pondered for a moment. "I think whatever you have left there."

Kai just nodded, and left again.

Queen tried to banish the flashbacks of that night but no avail. Weakness. That was what she tried to avoid. Letting things like those get to you was weakness. Was it weakness to some to a truce with your so-called enemy? She hoped not. Queen could never forgive herself if she had become soft. But why did Hiwatari call a truce? Was it all just a plan to get her defences low? The door opened again, and Kai walked in, balancing a tray with a bowl of soup, some bread, and some apple juice.

"Here." Kai said, leaving it beside her. "I'll come back for it later."

Queen noded, and watched him leave. Then she sat up, placing the tray in her lap. Hungrily she ate, savouring the warmth in her stomach. She hated to admit it, but the warmth was making her sleepy.

Kai walked to his room, only to change his clothes for bed. He got the king-sized bed ready, and glanced at the clock. 2:59 a.m. Well, at least there was the whole day for him to rest. Maybe to relax himself too. He decided to check up on Queen, knowing that she should be finished eating by now.

The Hiwatari place was eerie at night. The shadows of trees from the windows gave the impressions of monsters on the hall walls. 'Maybe that's why Tyson does'nt sleepover that much' Kai wondered, as he reached Queens' door. It creaked open, only to find that the lights were still on, but Queen had been fast asleep. She looked so, well, harmless. Carefully he took the tray without noise, and left it in the kitchen. He would deal with that later. Kai the got to his room, and checked the clock once more. 3:35 a.m. He turned off the lights.

"I am so glad that grandfather's not here." he muttered, and relaxed into the pillows.

C.A.: Whew! That took a while to type. I'm sorry if it seemed boring, but I get into the habit of putting detail, and I understand if it gets boring.
