I opened my eyes only to be blinded the bright light overhead of me . "How are you feeling" said a voice beside me. Startled by the question from a stranger's voice I quickly got up. I groaned as I clutched my torso when the pain hit me. "Don't move much too. Your body is still recovering of the beating you got yesterday" said the stranger. He helped me sit up and handing me some medicine. "Well, you are lucky that I found you when I did. You loss a large amount of blood and only got two broke ribs other than that you will have a speedy recover but you won't be able to go home for at least 4 weeks. Why didn't you want your Mom to know that you were hurt?" Said the man. "…. My mom is busy working in another country right now. It's not like it the first I get hurt I rather not worry her" I answered as I touch my cheek,feeling the bandage on it. "Do you have any other family or other people that might worry over you?" he asked. "No, no one ... I have no one.. No family or other. I'm alone here" I said solemnly. "See that you have no one to turn to. You will stay here till you recover. I don't want you to get worse. Sorry for the later introduction but I'm Akisame Koetsuji I run this small clinic " He said. He was tall with a small mustache and short, black hair wearing an old traditional Japanese clothes. I was in a medical bed in a hospital or clinic with tubes in my arms. I didn't have my clothes but a large grown on instead .

'See that he has giving me his name I should do the same' I thought. "Ruth Martinez. Thank you for saving me" I said stretching out my hand. "You're welcome Miss Martinez " He answer clasping my hand. Akisame-sama left saying he had other business to attend sometime later. After laying on the bed for a while staring at the ceiling I decide to get off the bed . I tried to move again but that only cause me pain it was not as bad as last time. I moved slowly and carefully, once my feet were dangling of the side I let my right foot touch the floor then I put my other foot down. I took a deep breathe and push myself up. I was able to get up and stand alone. 'Where is this clinic at.' The medicine he had given me had numbed most of the pain. I walked towards the door, opened and looked inside . I saw a large yard with a few trees and two buildings in the middle of it. I started to walk to the one floor building for I heard sounds come from there. It was an old traditionally Japanese house by the looks. I made my way to the noise, as I walked towards it I got in eerie feeling someone was watching me. I quickly turn my head and found a mouse with a ribbon on its tail, looking at me then went away. 'That was odd' I thought as I stared towards the directions the mouse went towards. I followed the noise I peeked around the corner there I saw a boy with short brown hair training.

I felt someone in back of me I quickly turn saw the the little mouse again. I kneed down and held out my hand to it. It got on my hand like it was the most natural thing. " You're a strange mouse you know. See how you just climbed on my hand you must be someone's pet or just use to being on humans. Either way you are something but most likely someone's pet that ribbon show someone cares for you very deeply. You know I wish I could take you home with me but I can't go home I got hurt. Even if I took you home with me, you would be lonely in my house with no one to play with and I would hate that " I said to the mouse as I petted him. When I finish petting the mouse, I put him back down. I went back on spying on boy (let's be honest here I was mostly checking him out ). I could see that he was defined muscles not big but I could see he was working hard. Not wanting to be more of a creep I turn away to explore the rest of the place. That when I walked into someone cause me to be push back and fall. I looked up I saw a giant muscular man with dark skin blond. " Excuse me will you help get up. Yes I'm talking to you. Watch where you're going mostly watch down not everyone is as big and tall as you," I said at him with a glare. He helped me up, I looked into his eyes to see hurt. "I'm sorry I tend to talk before thinking. Thanks for helping me", I said afterwords see that I hurt his feelings. " HoHo, You're one of the few people to not be intimidated by Appachi. You must be Akisame patient right" said the elderly giant behind of Appachi. " Yes, I'm Akisame-sama's patient. Nice to meet you.. well both of you. I want some fresh air so I walked out off the clinic then I heard some noise and I went to see what was making the noise I saw a boy training after that I walked into Appachi", I explained. "I thought that Akisame said for you to rest " said the elder. " Yes that correct Elder I did say that. Martinez-chan, your body suffered from a large amount of blood loss not to mention a concision. Now back to bed miss" said Akisame as he walked towards us. "But Akisame-sensei I feel much better thank to you. May I please stay out a bit longer? I'll be careful" I asked making my best puppy eyes. I really wanting to explore this place more. " Okay you can stay outside a little longer but as soon as you feel ill you will go back to bed. Okay" he said. I feel so happy that I hugged and kissed him on the cheek. I quickly let go after remembering that I was in Japan not back home where it was normal to hugging and kisses on the cheek as a thank. "Sorry I keep forget it's not normal for people to hug or kiss them on the cheek to people that you barely know. You know old habits die hard" I said. They chuckled see that I had surprised Akisame by that gesture. "Hey what's all the fuss about over there?! " questioned a loud and roughed voice.
