Thanks to Shoko-Chan for reviewing~! :D
It's been a few days, so I'll just go ahead and put up the next chapter, as I know there's non-reviewing fans out there as well. So, here are the votes re-cap, here:
Kaia/Mukuro: 7 [and 5 re-votes from Shin] [one of the votes are from Shoko-Chan, and she re-votes]
Kaia/Mukuro with a Hibari twist: 1 [and 2 re-votes from Shoko-Chan]
Kaia/Gokudera: 3 1/2 [and 1 1/2 re-votes from Shin] [another re-vote from Crazee4anime] [Tsunadesama89 half-votes, but all final votes will be rounded down. Heheh.]
------------------ In a way, though, it's actually three votes. xD
Haruka/Hibari: 1 [and another re-vote from Shin]
Yamamoto/Chrome: 2 [and 2 re-votes from Shin] [and a re-vote from Banyou]
Happy Reading~! And review as well, thanks!! :D

The phone flipped open again, and Soto held it up to hear the receiving end talk.
"Iello."
"Soto-"
"I put Kaia to bed okay? She isn't going to be hearing about whatever we're going to be talking about."
"Okay, good."
A pause.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"With Kaia, yeah, I-I think so, but…reluctant to say."
"What? Is it severe? Life-threatening?"
"I don't know; I've never seen it before – she's been bashed in the head by Hibari. That's concerning enough. But now, once she's out of the hospital, she isn't speaking much anymore. She isn't hyper, or jumpy, or energetic, or even talkative. She's silent now, and though her voice is hoarse but useable, she doesn't speak much at all, unless it's necessary. And to think that-that she was perfectly fine a few days ago-"
"Soto, stop. You say she's been hit by Hibari, of all people? You've never mentioned this once; don't ever leave out important facts and details. Then it's relatively simpler to find what's wrong – Hibari caused a concussion, right?"
"Yeah…"
"Well, he must have struck Kai-Kaia's sensory part of the brain, and it's p-probably in shock, and I think it's best to hope for recovery in the next few days."
"Wait – she can hear fine, she can see fine, she can smell, taste, and touch fine, too! Her senses aren't the ones that are impacted."
"True…true… But one of the worst possibilities is if Hibari had struck Kaia's conscience-governing parts of the brain…"
"No, Hibari's not one of those who strikes with such clumsiness."
"But that area is relatively close to the protruding section of the skull; he might have been aiming there."
"Yeah, but as her mom, how are you going to handle this?"
"I can't watch Kaia be mauled by the growing conflict in the area; I have to take this to the Boss."
"You sure?"
"Y-Yeah, considering what's going to be happening in the next few weeks."
"True…"
"Oh, and for Kaia, can you…no, it's going to be too much of a hassle…"
"What?"
"Take Kaia back to the hospital to get her scanned. But, I don't think it's going to work, because-"
"Of my training? No, I can adjust. I'll get her back to the hospital when she wakes up, and you go to the Boss to get her re-located, as well as me. I'm obviously not going to be involved."
"Okay, thanks for everything…"
"Welcome, Allegra."
"Bye."
"Bye."

That was it for this scene, sorry, readers. But tune in next time when I update, heh, and I want two reviews before the next update…
Unless I get bored and just update anyway, like I did last time.
But, there is one condition. As long as the average is at least two reviews per chapter and no more than one update a day, I'll be updating. That is, [again] if I don't get bored and just decide to plow on with the next installment.
Anyway, review and tune in for the next scene, next time!!
Thanks everyone~! xD
Have an awesome life!!
