The next time she woke up, she was in a hospital. Of course, nobody was there to wait for her to wake up – or so she thought.

"Rise and shine, Raiahu Kaiashi," beamed a shadowed face. "It's time you've woken up."

Raia was greatly surprised. Even though her sight was blurry, she could still recognize and distinguish between voices. It was – can you believe it? – Rokudo Mukuro. Of course, Chrome would never leave Rokudo alone in a hospital room with another girl, right?

"I couldn't find Haruka-san, so we wanted you to be okay," smiled Chrome. "And plus – you said we could have you meet my brother officially for once. Last time was a little, uh, it just wasn't a good time to be introducing people, right?"

Kaia looked at Chrome, blinked once, twice, thrice. Then she turned to Rokudo Mukuro and looked at him for a second. And she shrugged and smiled an affirmative. But she frowned again and tilted her head sideways a little so Chrome would know she was asking something. She was unable to speak, no matter how many times she would try.

"Hm?" Chrome leaned in. "What's it?"

"She wants to know what happened," said Mukuro. "Obviously, for getting a concussion from that little-" He was silenced by an indignant look from Chrome.

"The doctor said you had a moderate concussion two days ago; you were supposed to wake up yesterday, and we were both very worried," said Chrome, "You've been lying like a dead corpse for these past two days. Once we found out you were in the hospital, we came to see."

"Kufufufu…To get a concussion from that little tap from that Hibari," laughed Mukuro. "You are weak…"

Ria sighed dejectedly, as she winced from the bright lights in the ceiling, and looked away somewhere else.

"Kaia?" Chrome was ignored.

The doctor ushered in.

"You two, can you please leave now? Raiahu-san needs to rest."

"Hai," answered Mukuro, before taking Chrome with him, away from Kaia and out the door.

"Now, Kaiashi," the doctor said slowly, "You have a few more friends that are going to come in to see you, okay?" There was no response.

The door was opened, and Kaia internally groaned when she heard them come in. She closed her eyes to block out the bright lights from outside, which seemed to hurt her head quite a lot.

"Ah, Raiahu-san!" cried Underwear-boy.

"Raiahu-san!" beamed the swords-man.

"EXTEME!!" cried the extreme jogger. "WHY ARE WE HERE?!"

"Ciaossu, Ria."

To their dismay, there was no response. Kaia remained motionless, eyes closed, but was laying on her side. The group immediately fell silent. The doctor was baffled.

"K-Kaia?" frowned the doctor, "I swear, she was just fine a few minutes ago…"

Here, Kaia twitched; her bandage on her head shifted just a bit. Unluckily, Gokudera caught that.

"Tche. She's fine, but to lie dead two days from a tap from Hibari, that's really…"

"She's a regular person, Gokudera, unlike you…" Reborn left the sentence hanging. He knew that Gokudera would have glared at him if he were anyone else aside from himself.

"Is she awake?" wondered Yamamoto. He ventured a finger, but the doctor stopped him.

"It's best for her to wake up on her own accord. She needs her rest, as well."

"Enough rest for her already," remarked Reborn. "Any more delays for Soto's classes, Kaia, you're probably going to be falling behind by quite a lot."

Kaia stirred, but became silent again.

"Anyways, here's the day's class work and homework," smiled Yamamoto as he dropped a pile of papers on the table.

"I'll make sure she sees that," reassured the doctor. "But you should leave now; Kaia needs her sleep."

Gokudera grumbled something about that before leaving, with Yamamoto, Tsuna, Ryohei, and Reborn soon following. The doctor followed right behind them, shutting the door behind him.

Kaia immediately heaved a relieved sigh, and she looked around. The room was completely empty, to her delight. She finally had her privacy.

Ria smiled to herself. But that was before she found out that she had another surprise visitor waiting for her.

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Ah, well that was an okay-ish scene… It's not like weird twists and turns happen all the time, right?

Well, stay tuned – it's getting better… :D
