Chizuru lay in the hospital bed with Shingo by her side. "Feeling better, Miss Kagura?" Shingo eagerly asked with concern. Chizuru looked up and smiled. "Yes, thank you. I really appreciate you. I'm entirely indebted to you." Shingo blushed and rubbed the back of his head. "Aw, it's nothing! Just want to make sure you're okay!" The nurse poked her head inside the room. "You have another visitor." Shingo perked up. "Was it Kyo?" he wondered. "He came in once before, but he was pretty emotional. Angry and in tears." He then thought of the worst.
"Iori."
Surprisingly, Iori DID visit. His visit was brief, however; he came in with flowers, tossed them at her from the door and snapped,"dying is easy. Struggle is hard. Decide what you want to do, and I'll be there." Then, he left.
No, no, no. It was not Iori either.
The person stepped in, and what do you know? The Italian Rose walked in.
Chizuru's eyes widened. "Rose?" Shingo was not following, but he listened. "Priestess." Rose came over and hugged her embracingly. Chizuru began to joyfully sob. There was suddenly a glowing emanating from their hugging. Shingo stepped back, now bewildered. Rose stood back up and looked at Chizuru who now felt ever better than before. "I'm...better!" Shingo looked at Rose. Rose was a little startled, but then regained her composure. "I'm sorry, my name is Rose!" She shook Shingo's hand. She felt a strong presence. She smiled. "You have a strong spirit, and I see you've been watching over my friend. Good things will come. I know that for sure!" Then, she turned to Chizuru. "I should let you rest, but I was hoping you would consider this invitation, provided that you are up to it. I'm not forcing you to do anything." She handed the pamphlet to Chizuru, who was curious. Shingo was confused. "Are...you from King of Fighters?" Rose shook her head. "I am not. I am dedicated to sacrifice my life to defeat the evil M. Bison. I am a protector, just like Chizuru is." Shingo nodded. "Ah! I see! You should be a doctor!" Rose tittered. Chizuru looked at the pamphlet carefully, then looked up. "I'll do anything to help. Give me a day or so, if it allows it." Rose smiled. "No pressure. We also have invites to others. I very much appreciate it though." She turned to leave, then looked back and smiled. Rose then made her exit slowly.
