Sunny was still very sick and receiving treatment for the broken bones, and damaged nerve tissue in his arms. Rin stayed by his side for the first few hours, refusing to leave or even eat. But after a while the sadness of hearing him cry out in pain, as doctors kept injecting him with strange liquids and forcing him to attempt to use his arms, and sit up despite his broken ribs. What was in those injections? Was this supposed to make him better faster? It was all too much for little Rin to handle. She wondered the estate, until she found herself in to the main kitchen.
There she saw an adorable chubby cheeked boy with dark blue hair, and short little pudgy arms, stuffing his face from the fridge. He sniffed the air, as if he smelled her before he even saw her. "oh! hello", he said eating a chunk of meat. It looked like a giant piece of chicken; larger than any food item Rin had ever seen.
"hi" she smiled back with a little wave. "My name's Toriko." The boy was chubby but other wise of average height for a child. So it was a little shocking to see him lift an industrial kitchen size fridge off the ground with one hand, tilt it slightly, then reach in with the other hand to get at an item further in the back.
"Are you Sunny's little brother?" he asked as he sat down with his snack.
"huh?" she had been given a change of clothing, but the only clothes The president had laying around were boy's cloths that were several sizes too big, he had not expected to bring home a girl.
"Was that your sister? The one who was hurt? Or was it another kid the old man found?" the boy asked while eating.
"old man?" Rin giggled it was a funny nickname; one she never would have had the courage to think of. This little boy seems like a friend.
Meanwhile in the medical ward, Ichiryu instructed the doctors to get Sunny to sit up, and drink a mug of soup- on his own. With the advanced medical treatment this was not an impossible task, His ribs were already healing enough for him to breathe on his own. But perhaps this was more confusing then comforting as he started to scream and cry so hard his ribs hurt all over again "MAMA! I WANT MY MAMA! WHERE IS MY MAMA!" His hair, although it had a small range of attack was whipping in all directions like a case of demonic possession.
Memories of the night of the fire; the fear and the pain rippled through his mind. The doctors were afraid he would seriously injure himself, when suddenly a pink haired woman appeared.
She seemed older then the main medical staff, and was dressed as if she had just come from the kitchen. She walked to the boy without fear. The strange woman picked up the little boy and brought him to a rocking chair. Resting his head on her shoulder she rocked him as if rocking him to sleep.
"You're just a sweet little angel." she said rubbing his back until he calmed himself. No one knows how long it took, but eventually he calmed himself.
"My mama's an angel..." he said with tear streaked cheeks as if he suddenly realized his situation. "mama…mama…." He was still shivering, but the woman knew what to do.
The woman old nodded, continuing to rub his back. She was a famous chef brought in to make a meal to test the "gourmet cells" a form of medicine where the patient is injected with cells derived from a self-healing jelly fish. The cells could only arrive at their full strength if he patient ate an item of rare/ higher quality food.
"That means your mama will always watch over you- and it will be your job to take care of your baby sister, and make her proud." she added. Sunny had now completely stopped crying.
"Now, I was brought here by a very nice man, to make sure you had something wonderful to eat when you woke up." she kissed his forehead. She did not try to force him to eat on his own; she brought a spoon and fed him a single spoonful of the simple soup she had prepared. The results were nothing short of a miracle.
Meanwhile Back at the kitchen -"you want a snack? I know where all the good stuff is!" little Toriko said reaching in the fridge again. He assumed a cute little guy would want a candy-like treat so he brought out some fruits.
"Here try this- trust me you'll like It." he said placing a piece of fruit larger then Rin's head in front of her. But suddenly the other 2 boys entered a thin one and a tall, almost scary looking one. The scary one looked at Rin with disgust.
"Really? That's the new kid?- what does he add to the team?" the older/larger child was needlessly cruel in his evaluation.
"No, the new kid is a boy" the other child said. "Hello little one, my name's Coco," the smaller child said. "What happened to your parents?" he asked, as it was a very common question; no one got the privilege of living with the president unless they were an orphan with nowhere else to go.
"Mama died, papa... gone..." was all she could say to explain her situation. She was there when her mother died. Sunny held her in his arms, begging her to look away as the doctors took their mother's body away. After 5 days they assumed no one was going to claim the body (and 2 children who certainly could not) so she was buried in a numbered public grave. Rin was about to cry but the fat little boy suddenly forced a piece of fruit in to her mouth, so fast she almost choked.
"We don't judge here…" Toriko said even though it made little sense.
