The next day…

"Ah, she's here," Soto looked up from his paperwork as the doorbell rang. He stood up from his work and went to the door to open it.

"Soto," smiled Jasmine. "I'm going to come in." She stepped in, and Soto closed the door behind her. She took off her sunglasses and huffed. She was one of those who liked to dress nicely. Very, very nicely, actually. "Hey, Kaia~ Remember me?"

Kaia looked up sullenly. She blinked a few times, and smiled weakly. After that, she fell back into her own little world. Jasmine frowned.

Jasmine was a beautiful creature of eighteen with black, silky hair. Her expertise was in the field of health and medicine, as well as the areas in the workings behind mafia-related objects and fields. She was one of the commanding doctors in the Vongola household, and, of course, had been called to Japan to tend to Kaia. Jasmine wasn't as tall as Soto, who is higher than the average guy by a few inches; also, Jasmine is sometimes called Jazz or Jazzy.

"Hmm," frowned Jasmine. "Can I talk to you private someplace?" She turned to Soto.

"Ah, yeah, sure," said Soto. "Ah Kaia, I'm going to talk with Jasmine privately, so I'll be in the other room, okay?" He walked to the next room and closed the door, so that Kaia wouldn't hear anything.

"Can I get some background information on Kaia?" asked Jasmine.

"W-Well… Kaia's Allegra's kid, as you know. And Allegra's the descendant of a wide variety of cultures – the Chinese relative of the family was a tiger-hunter, an herb-master. And Allegra saw a significant similarity between the two. In Chinese, tiger meant hu. Raia came from the two words that mean coming. In a sense, Raiahu means the coming of the tiger. And like a tiger, like the line of descendants in Kaia's family, they have courage, strength, and a strong mental make-up."

"Oh, so we're talking about a child in the line of Raiahu? They are quite known in the medical world for their unique characteristics," Jasmine raised an eyebrow. "Well, there have been similar scenarios throughout the family. Their mental make-up is strong; strong only on the outside. Okay, then, imagine this: typically, computers have firewalls, right? These firewalls are usually positioned with the weakest filters first, strongest filters last. The strongest viruses would almost always get tired before reaching the last barrier, which is also the strongest. Those are effective and are the typical mental make-up of a human. But for the Raiahus, they are best known for their bravery, courage, strength, and the like. But, that is because their mental make-up is like this: the strongest barrier is first, the weakest last. That way, if something gets through the first barrier, then that bad thing would get to the brain…and…" Jasmine stopped. She looked to Soto and sighed dejectedly. "Something must have gotten to her. Now, her mental stability is probably overturned, and her reasoning is a mess; I have to get her scanned. Now, Soto. It doesn't matter if Kaia wants to do it or not – her brain could be shutting down."

"What?" gasped Soto in disbelief. "T-This is unbelievable! How could this have happened in the first place?!"

"I need to know what happened the past few days, Soto. Now," Jasmine stared coldly at Soto. "Kaia must not die."

"Then we should best get her scanned first," said Soto, making for the doorknob. Jasmine nodded as she followed Soto out the room.
