Guest Reply: Ah, okay, now I understand. No, I can assure you that it won't go down that route, even though there will be dark elements placed throughout this story, I have no intention on doing that.

The Keeper of Worlds: True, true.

Please enjoy the next chapter.

Saito moaned as the door to his room opened. Slowly opening his eyes, he looked up to see his sister stepping into his room. Groaning, he puled the covers over his head as he felt the bed shake and sink in, "Okay, you're going to tell me what's going on with Louise and you're going to tell me now," pulling the covers off her younger brother, Mina stood up and crossed her arms and she slightly narrowed her eyes, "Mom and dad were asking questions last night and since I didn't know what was going on, I had to lie to them. I almost got in trouble because of you, so you better tell me what you're hiding. What happened to Louise?"

Saito sighed as he sat up, staring tiredly at his sister, "It's not my place to tell," Mina arched a brow and Saito shook his head as he took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, Mina, but I want to respect Louise's privacy and-"

"Respect her pri…this coming from the guy who used to sneak into my room to read my diary." Saito frowned as he hung his head, "Listen, whatever happened to Louise had to be bad if it made you worry our parents like that. I'd like to know what's wrong with the cute little pinkette."

Saito looked up and frowned, "You have my word I won't tell mom and dad…unless it's really bad…did you and Louise get into an argument and you were acting like her servant all day?"

"No…it's…it's not that," Saito cupped a hand over his eyes and hung his head, "Louise…she…she's in the hospital," he looked up and saw Mina's eyes widened as the color ran from her face, "That's all I'm going to tell you…I'm going to get a shower and them I'm going to go visit her," Saito stood up and walked past his sister, walking out of his room and closing the door behind him.

Saito walked down the street with Mina beside him. Coming to a stop light, the Hiraga siblings came to a stop and Mina looked at her younger brother and slightly frowned, "So…Louise is really in the hospital?" Saito frowned and slowly nodded, "How did it happen? Is she okay or-" before she could finish, Saito looked up and his eyes widened when he spotted the familiar black truck speed past the stop light while other drivers yelled out of their windows.

Saito narrowed his eyes as he followed the truck, "That truck…I'm certain it was the same from yester-" before he could finish his thought, his phone went off and he dug it out of his pocket before sliding his finger across the screen and held the phone against his ear, "Hello?" Mina looked at her brother as a questionable look crossed Saito's face, "Mrs. Vallière? Is something-what? I'm on my way to the hospital right…what!" Mina jumped as Saito's eyes widened and color ran from his face, "What do you mean that…what? Well do they have the bastard on camera!"

"What's wrong, little brother?"

Saito growled under his breath and narrowed his eyes, "So he wore a hood and had his head down! How did he even get past the front desk, goddamn it!" Saito ended the call and grabbed his sister by the wrist and began pulling her across the street in a hurry while Mina stared at her brother with a concerning look crossing her face.

The Vallière family and the Hiraga siblings sat in the waiting room in silence, some with frowns painted across their lips and Saito's head down, his body shaking from anger, "What the fuck? I should've stayed here last night instead of going home. Who leaves their best friend in the hospital like that after they were just attacked?"

Standing up, Saito began walking away, "Boy, Louise is still in surgery and will be there for quite a while, so you might as well-"

"I'm going for a walk around the hospital, sir," Saito look over his shoulder with narrowed eyes, "If I stay here, I'll get anxiety and end up getting kicked out…I'll be back," the five watched as he turned and walked out of the waiting room before Cattleya stood up and followed him.

Saito walked down the hall with narrowed eyes as he grunted under his breath, "Saito," he heard Cattleya call from behind him and he stopped as he hung his head and Cattleya walked up to him, "Saito, you shouldn't be alone. We all know how you can get whenever Louise is hurt or in danger an-" before she could finish, Saito punched the wall next to him, surprising the pink-haired woman, "Saito, what are you doing?"

Saito ignored her and got ready to punch the wall again when Cattleya ran up to him and grabbed his wrist as she narrowed her eyes, "Saito, stop this right now!" the black-haired young hung his head as Cattleya sighed, "We're worried about Louise, we didn't think someone will be so bold to come into the hospital and assault her again, but it happened and all we can do is wait and hope that the one who did this didn't do too much damage and she'll be-" she saw tears sliding down Saito's face and her eyes widened as she frowned, "Saito?"

"I should've stayed last night! I could've protected her!" Cattleya frowned as Saito shook, "I should've gone to the store with her yesterday and she wouldn't be in this mess!"

"Saito…this isn't your fault. This is just one of those things that happen and-"

"It is my fault!" Cattleya slightly jumped at the tone in his voice as tears continued to slide down Saito's cheeks, "She's my best friend…instead of being an idiot, I should've stayed with her last night, I could've protected her this morning…if she had called me and asked me to walk to the store with her yesterday…she wouldn't even be here…it's my fault…I should've been there,"

Cattleya frowned as she pulled her sister's best friend into a hug, "It's not your fault, Saito…you can talk to Louise and she'll tell you the same thing that this wasn't your fault. You shouldn't blame yourself over something that you had no control over, it'll only end up destroying you." Breaking from the hug, she held Saito at arm's length and shook her head, "Talk to her, you'll see that she doesn't blame you for any of this," Saito let out a shaky breath and nodded before Cattleya took him by the hand and led him down the hall and back to the waiting room.

I was going to reveal the suspect here, but I decided to save that for the next chapter…enjoy.
