Chapter 10- Father Dearest:

Crystal:

Telling the truth wasn't easy. In fact, it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I can imagine that it would've changed their view on me, but it better not change their view on Cara. She needed help. She needed friends. If she did die…I wanted her to have lots of friends nearby so she wasn't alone. Though, she seemed to be doing better. Whatever the nurses were giving her in that IV seemed to be working. She didn't look as sick. The heart monitor was going steady. A small spark of hope that she would live actually made its way into my mind and my heart.

Luckily for me, I didn't have to deal with the hosts right now. Ritsu wasn't there either. He had to go call his father to let him know of the situation- he also wanted to see if there was anything the mob could do to help. I doubted that they could help though. The hosts had went to get lunch- they didn't want to leave, but I made them go anyway. I even made Mori go- I told him that he needed a break. He didn't want to go either, but one look I gave him made him understand. Kyoya was staying behind. Leaving, me alone with the guy that I slapped.
"Kyoya," I said, "You do know that I am sorry I-"
Kyoya cut me off. He was hugging me tightly,
"I forgive you…but…"
"Kyoya?"
"I do have feelings for you, Crystal…while you may be with Mori, I can't just give you up without a fight."
I bit my lip and started to push him away, but he held onto me stronger and kissed me. I was taken back but he didn't let me go. He kissed me,

"I just want to have my feelings out there…"

Then I heard a muffled shift. I turned and Mori was standing in the doorway. He looked at me, hurt, and looked at Kyoya with anger.

"I forgot my jackets," he said stiffly and after getting his jacket, he left.

I was shaken out of shock when I noticed Kyoya's smirk. I glared at him,
"You knew he was there, didn't you!?"
"Indeed," Kyoya answered.

I glared at him and gritted my teeth, the Shadow King lives up to his name.

"Why," I asked.
"Because I do have feelings for you and I do not give you up easily. I always win what I do want."
I growled and punched him,

"How dare you! I am not a prize you can just win and with that attitude you will never find someone! You bastard!"

Third Person:

Kyoya smirked still, even after Crystal ran out after Mori. He knew she was right- in a way. But he probably ruined her and Mori's relationship. If he couldn't have her, no one would. He glanced over at Cara, still asleep and out-cold and he shifted. Maybe it wasn't the right thing to do…

He sighed and looked at Cara, even though it was the least logical thing he would ever do,
"If you were here, what would you say? Would you think I was a bad person too?"
Something inside Kyoya, after knowing Cara for the time she was here, told him that while she would've been upset, she would've understood. That's how she was. She was…kind. Ritsu walked back in and looked at Kyoya confused, pointing vaguely at the door,

"Why did Crystal just ran by in tears?"
"I am not sure," Kyoya shrugged.

Ritsu glared, not believing Kyoya, but still his word was the only thing at the moment. Ritsu took his place back at Cara's side and grabbed her hand. Meanwhile, Mori walked towards the parking lot of the hospital- the large parking lot that frankly, was dark like his mood.

The hosts, that were just coming back with lunch, looked at Mori.
"Mori," Hunny cried, "what happened?"
Mori huffed and pushed Hunny off of him roughly. The hosts had wide eyes and Hunny had tears in his eyes.

"Mori," he whispered, "What happened?"

Suddenly, Crystal came running through with tears in her eyes. Tamaki grabbed her roughly,

"What happened?"
Crystal tore away from Tamaki and chased Mori. The hosts watched the scene unfold before them. Crystal grabbed Mori's arm to stop him, but he turned around and shoved her roughly. She had wide eyes and her eyes quickly went from sad to mad. She glared at Mori and grabbed his arm. Taking him by surprise, she turned him around.
"Listen to me, you big idiot! I can explain! Kyoya forced that! It wasn't me!"

Mori still was skeptical, since he knew Kyoya obviously did have feelings for her. Before he could say another word, someone jumped between the two. He was a big man, very muscular with black slicked hair and green eyes that were dull and cruel. He pushed Mori away and grabbed Crystal's arm. Hunny and Mori's eyes narrowed and they quickly got ready to fight. Before they could help, Crystal used her elbow and elbowed the guy's gut hard. Then once she was free, she turned and punched the guy hard. He was tough though and didn't go down.
"Backup," he said sourly.

Six more men came from the shadows. Two contained the twins and Tamaki while the others faced me to fight. Crystal gritted her teeth and got ready. However, Mori stepped in front of her, as did Hunny. Hunny nodded to Mori and Mori picked her up.
"What are you doing," Crystal whispered harshly.

"Protecting you," he answered just as harshly.

"I can protect myself."

"Perhaps, but why would I let you when I can just as easily protect you."

she blinked and looked back to Hunny- who was finishing off the last minion. Mori, who had been fighting off guys while holding her, finally set Crystal down.
"It is safe."

She glared at him until she remembered why he left to the parking lot. Crystal grabbed him and kissed him,
"Mori, you idiot. I care about you," she said, her emotions were a bit over whelming so she wasn't paying attention if she was speaking English or Japanese. Mori hugged her tightly.
"What is going on," Ristu's voice said loudly.

Crystal turned to see Ritsu and Kyoya.

"We heard the noise," Kyoya said, "After all, Cara's room isn't that far from here."

Crystal's eyes widened,
"Cara!"

She ran past them all to head towards Cara's room when she was stopped by more mob men.

"Get out of my way," Crystal growled and within a few minutes they were all down expect for two. It amazed her that they were able to sneak so many in the hospital. Mori came to help Crysal, but he wasn't able to reach me before one (that she thought was down) grabbed a knife and….

"Ah," Crystal cried and fell.

Mori caught her, but she wasn't able to process much expect for a few things- 1. She was bleeding, a lot. 2. The knife had hit some organ. 3. She felt like she was going to pass out. Hunny headed towards the guy that stabbed her, but he was taken out from behind by someone hitting him on the head. The figure came out of the shadows, it was Cara.

Cara smirked at their faces,

"Next you decide to brawl- don't wake me up. 'Course the nurses weren't thrilled that I wanted to leave, but hey, they weren't there when I left, so…"

Suddenly, Cara fell too. Ritsu caught her and she coughed. Ritsu's eyes widened when he noticed she was coughing up blood.
"Ya know," she said roughly, coughing, "maybe getting out of the bed, ripping the IV, and fighting with some punctured organ…wasn't that good of an idea."

The last thing she saw was pitch blackness. Crystal was still faintly awake, she knew Cara was there…and she chuckled slightly, which wasn't good because of the wound,
"That idiot…I'm the fighter, she's more of a lover…"

Then…she was out too.
