Rin sat there alone in the waiting room, waiting for news. She never felt so helpless in her life. She suddenly found her shoes very interesting.
"Rin? Is that you?"
Rin looked up and saw the last person she expected to see.
"Daddy?"
The man standing before her had her brown eyes, but his hair was a dark grey color.
"Rin… what are you doing here?" Kenji asked his daughter.
"I… I brought a friend here…" Rin said quietly. Kenji took a seat next to Rin.
"When did you start dating a doctor?"
Rin tried to fight back the tears.
"No… brought him in as in…" Rin placed her head on her knees. Kenji got the picture.
"Oh… I see. If you want… I can get information on his state right now…"
Rin looked up at her father.
"But on one condition…"
"Huh?"
The saddest part of the hospital, the children's ward. The brightly colored rooms and the toys lying around were perfect to hide the pain and suffering the kids had to go through. But Rin was on the hunt for one room in particular…
"There's a little girl named Kisa. She has a tumor in her throat so she won't get out of the hospital for a while. She's a big fan of BoA. I think it might cheer her up a lot if she got a visit from someone she admires. Funny thing is, despite her vocal problems, she wants to be a singer, just like her idol…"
Rin finally found the room she was looking for.
"Excuse me miss?" Rin turned to find a mother that was highly worried and protective of whoever went into the room.
"Oh my god…" the woman said, after taking a good look at Rin. "Are you… really… her?"
Rin couldn't help but smile. She can tell she was going to be a lot of help here.
"Yes. I am…" Rin replied.
"Wait out here." The woman said. "I'll tell Kisa that there's a surprise for her."
The woman went in. Rin heard the woman talk to someone very softly.
"Now, close your eyes, sweetie."
The door creaked open again.
"Come in…' the woman mouthed. Rin walked inside.
There was a small body of a little girl on the big hospital bed. Her black hair was cut to the shoulders and was wearing Hello Kitty Pjs and IV tubes. Around the room, the walls were decorated with BoA posters, and there were a lot of BoA singles and albums stacked neatly next to a portable CD player.
"Ok… Kisa- Chan… you can open your eyes now…"
Kisa slowly moved her hands from her eyes. Her dark blue eyes went big, as she looked up into Rin's face.
"Hi, Kisa- Chan…" Rin said softly.
"You…you're…" Kisa gasped.
"I'll leave you two alone. Kisa, remember, don't speak too loudly or your throats going to get too swollen for your operation." The woman left.
"I… I can't believe it! It's really you! BoA- San!"
The little girl reached out and clinged to Rin's neck. Rin couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, Dr. Makasaki mentioned something about my number one fan being in the hospital so I came down to see if there was anything I could do to help." Rin said.
Kisa just kept staring at Rin, with a huge smile on her face.
"I've been paying really close attention to you!" Kisa said. "No one believes me, but my English improved a lot after listening to the English version of your songs."
"Really?"
"Yup! Um… BoA- San?"
"Yes?"
"Could you… do a little song for me?"
Rin gave her a look.
"I want to remember what your voice sounds like live. The doctor said there's no guarantee that I'll be able to speak again, let alone sing, after the operation today. I think I can be able to recover and sing if I had your voice in my head and try to reach my dream to sing on stage with you someday…"
Rin couldn't help but smile. Kisa was innocent. She needed to hold on to something…
"Sure…"
Kisa smiled big. She reached over to the side table and grabbed the Made in Twenty album. She placed it into her small stereo and waited for the music to start. When Rin heard the musical cue, she started singing.

Wish Always Gracious Days Let's Feel Everybody Now
It's Never-ending Place I wish…With You Forever
Kisa stopped the CD player and gave Rin a hug.
"Thank you… BoA- San… for coming to see me!" Kisa whispered. She noticed BoA's shoulders were shaking. She was crying.
"BoA- San… is something wrong?"
Rin tried to cheer up, but the song reminded her of one of the many late nights she spent talking to Sesshomaru. How was he doing?
"Don't worry BoA- San; I think he'll be ok…" Kisa said. Rin gave Kisa a look.
"I can tell from looking into a person's eyes what's wrong. If I don't make it as a singer, then I was planning on becoming a miko and help people…" Kisa said cheerfully.
Rin smiled as she wiped the last of the tears away. Kisa didn't know it, but two people were being healed that day….
Hikaru- San: Ok... this is more of a filler chapter... but Kisa's going to get a better part next time i use her. But i also wanted to build up the tension... mwhahahaha! (stares and blinks at readers) Am i being too mean?
