A/N: I can't think of a good title for this chapter… *sigh* anyway, please… read and review… :D

Chapter 7: "Kaho's leg got injured"

Len rushed to where she is seated. He crouched down to level her injured leg.

"Hai…" she took Len's hand. Len brought her to the largest music room they have on the house. Hamai Misa is seated on the grand piano in the middle on the room. Len got his violin and prepared to play. She just stood from beyond to watch them. She placed her hand bag at a desk with a flower vase behind her. Len and Hamai Misa played as a duet together. Kahoko wanted to come closer to them so she just quickly grab her bag without looking around, but due to her carelessness, her arm hit the vase which fell to the ground and was broken into pieces. Both of them stopped playing.

"Ah, Gomenasai!" she slowly crouched down and picked up the small shards of the broken vase. But red liquid came out too quickly from her fingers. Len and Misa-san was already rushing towards her when—

"My… I just heard a glass broke from here." Len and Misa-san stopped walking when someone suddenly entered. They looked at her and watched her actions.

She glanced at Kahoko. "Oh Dear… did you hurt yourself?" Kaho looked up to her. She got the first aid kit and nursed Kahoko's fingers.

"There, all better."

Len and Misa-san never moved to where they stopped walking lately. Until, Len went beside the girl and held onto its shirt.

"Kaho, this is my onee-chan." Len looked up to her sister. "Onee-chan, this is my friend, Kahoko."

"Yoroshiku ne, Kaho-chan. I'm Len's older sister. You can just me 'Lenalee-nee-chan'." She gave Kahoko a sweet smile.

"Wow… she's beautiful. She really resembles Misa-san." Kaho thought in herself.

"Ouch! Tsukimori-kun, can you do it a little more gentle?" Len snapped out. He was wiping out the blood from Kahoko's legs with cloth and alcohol. He nodded.

"Oh, what happened here?" Misa-san suddenly barged in. Len looked up at Kahoko. She was smiling at Misa. He returned his gaze on her injured leg. He heard a soft murmur from her:

"Hm… I thought it was Lenalee-nee-chan." Len froze. He never thought that they have remembered the same thing in an incident just like back then.

"Tsukimori-kun? Are you done?" Len snapped out again. "Iie…"

After bandaging the cut, Len just put away the first aid kit and stood up without saying a word.

"Arigatou, Tsukimori-kun." He glanced back at her. She was smiling sweetly at him.

"Hn." Was the only thing he replied and left.

"Ano… Misa-san…"

"Yes?"

"Where exactly is Lenalee-nee-chan? Why does Tsukimori-ku—I mean Len, always get so depressed when she's being talked around?"

Misa-san walked towards her. "Onee-chan is with her father…" still smiling, she caressed her head.

"In Germany… studying about medicine… fulfilling her dream…" Misa-san removed her hand away from Kaho's head and walked out of the kitchen. But Kaho swore to herself, she saw Misa-san wiped out a tear from her eye.

"What did really happen in Germany? And what's the reason why Len's attitude suddenly changed?" she asked herself.

Her phone rang. She picked up her cell phone from her pocket.

Kaho, where are you?

We're all gathered at the park.

We're gonna watch a musical performance.

Want to come?

We'll be waiting here for you.

- Ryoutarou

She replied with: "Hai… Please do wait for me." She stood up, but her leg didn't allow her. She fell back from her seat. "Ow."

She stood up again, leaning on walls to walk.

"Kaho-san? Where are you going?" Misa looked down to her leg.

"Uh… Gomen. I have to leave now. I have an appointment with my friends at the park."

"But you still can't walk." Misa glanced at the Len, seated at the couch, arms crossed.

"Len, please accompany Kaho-san to the park."

"N-no… you don't have to. I'm fine, really…" she shook her hands.

"No, Kaho-san." She looked back at Len. "Len, take Kaho inside the car."

He irritably stood up and carried Kahoko, bridal style.

"Wha! Hey! Put me down Tsukimori-kun!" she grasps but she can't escape from Len's arms. She gave up and heave a sigh.

He put her down gently on the right side, back seat of the car. He seated on the opposite. There was a large gap between them. For the first time, she didn't fell asleep on a car. Perhaps it was because of her unusual fear for Len. That she might sleep on him again. Her fear kept her awake.

She sighed, a sign of relief when she spotted the park.

"Finally… I can get out of this car with this…" she glanced at Len. Len glanced back. He glared at her. Kaho froze in her seat. "It's so cold in this car…"

Before she could open the door, she saw Len got hold of the knob.

"Ah, N-no Tsukimori-kun! I'm fine already! I can walk on my own now. Thanks for your concern."

"Who's concerned?" he returned to his current position, crossed arms.

"Bye Tsukimori-kun." She bowed and got out of the car. She shut the door close. Len secretly watched her from beyond the window. It was obvious he was worried about her.

She leaned herself at the car. To be honest, she still can't walk on her own. And there wasn't anything she can get hold onto to get to them.

"Minna!" she waved at them.

"Ah, Kaho."

"Kaho-chan!" they all looked back at her from the distance. Ryo ran towards her. He noticed the bandage on her leg.

"What happened to your leg? Can you walk?" she shook her head.

"Here. Grab on to me." He placed Kaho's arm around his back. (A/N: she can't reach his shoulder. Hahaha xD I'm making fun of Ryo... Gomen Ryo! haha) and his arm around her waist. Ryo felt a glare behind him. He looked back at the car. He glared back at the person inside.

"Hm. I'm sure it was Tsukimori." He helped Kaho walk towards them.

Len kept glaring Ryo. He never took his sight away from the two.

"Damn that Tsuchiura…"
