Chapter 15

MISA P.O.V.

"Kanato-onii-sama?" Misa called him, "What's wrong?"

"Yui-san you're belong to me. Don't go there," Kanato said.

"But, Ruki-kun is…" Yui said slowly.

"If you leave, I'll kill myself," Kanato said.

"What?!" Yui surprised.

"Don't disturb her," Azusa said, "We're in hurry,"

"No, Yui-san, I'm serious," he said as he put Teddy on a sofa and pointed a knife on his heart.

"Kanato-kun, it's dangerous!" Yui said panickedly.

"Azusa, take care of him," Misa suddenly stand beside Yui and grabbed her wrist. She brought Yui using teleportation and appeared at Mukami whereabout. There they saw Ruki with bandage around his body and he was lying on the sofa unconciously.

"Ruki-kun!" Yui walked towards Ruki panickedly.

"You're finally here," Kou said, "But what's the princess doing here?"

"Don't call me that. Just call me Misa," Misa said as she sat princess likely on the sofa beside the sofa Ruki was lying, "So? How's his condition?"

"He's currently unconcious but he got a serious injury. Well, it wouldn't put his life in danger but still…" Yuuma said.

"You're worried, huh?" Misa said.

"HUH?!"

"It's clearly written all over your face," Misa sighed, "Oh, you're back,"

"Yes," Azusa said.

"What did you do to Kanato-onii-sama?" Misa asked.

"I burned his teddy," Azusa said nonchalantly.

"I'm going to get punishment after this," Misa sighed again.

"You're sighing too much," Kou said.

"Whatever. Apart from that, tell me what happened," Misa said.

"Wolves were suddenly barged in and started to attack us," Yuuma explained.

"Just when I'm almost attacked by one of them, Ruki-kun protected me. It's all my fault," Azusa said slowly.

"Not your fault," Misa said. Just as she said that, Ruki regain conciousness.

"Ruki-kun! You're awake?" Yui asked. Ruki then sat slowly on the sofa helped by Yui.

"Are you okay?" asked Kou.

"Yeah," Ruki answered shortly.

"Thanks goodness," Yui let out a little sighed, "And what about you, Misa-chan?"

"Me?" Misa asked confusedly.

"You're in a condition where you can't move your body and shouldn't use your power," Yui said.

"Now that you said it, my body feel numb and I feel like fainting. Well, it was thanks to certain someone for taking my necklace," Misa said as she stared at Ruki.

"What should we do…" Yui said worriedly.

"Don't worry too much. I'll be borrowing this sofa for a night," Misa said nonchalantly.

"EHHH?! You'll sleep there?! You'll catch a cold!" Yui said.

"I never catch a cold," Misa said as she closed her eyes trying to sleep.

"But…" Yui said but Misa ignored her. Suddenly Ruki stood up.

"Ruki-kun?" Ruki then suddenly princess-like carried Misa.

"Whaa—" Misa startled, "Put me down!"

Without saying a word, Ruki disappeared and appeared again at a big bedroom. He walked to the bed and put her on the bed slowly and covered her with blanket.

"W-What is this treatment?" Misa asked as she blinked her eyes.

"Our duty, is to protect eve," Ruki said.

"Which eve are you refering to?" Misa sighed but Ruki didn't answer, "It would be fast if you return it to me,"

"I won't," Ruki said straightaway.

"You know I'm powerless without that. What are you intend to do?" Misa asked curiously.

"That necklace give you power, but at the same time, your human side were fading," Ruki said.

"I don't know anything about that," Misa widened her eyes.

"I don't want you to lose your humanity," Ruki said but he didn't face Misa.

"And why is that?" Misa asked, "We must be have met before,"

"Just sleep," Ruki said after a long pause then sat on the sofa on that room and sleep.

"What's with that guy?" Misa frowned.

"Oi, wake up," Misa opened her eyes and saw Yuuma sat beside her on the bed.

"I can't get up," Misa said.

"I know. I just told you to wake up from your sleep," Yuuma said.

"Then what is it?" Misa asked.

"Ruki told me to give these foods to you," he said.

"I can't eat in this condition," Misa said coldly.

"Tch," Yuuma said as he brought back the food to the kitchen. Misa then close her eyes trying to sleep again but someone interrupted it.

"You have to eat," Ruki said.

"Haven't I told Yuuma that I can't eat in this condition?" Misa pouted.

"He indeed said that," Ruki said as he put Misa in sitting position.

"Now you could eat," Ruki said.

"I can't move my hand," Misa said nonchalantly.

"Then I'll feed you," Ruki said again.

"I'll get to the point. I. don't. want. to. eat," Misa said annoyedly.

"You have to. You should appreciate me who made these food instead my condition," Ruki said flatly.

"You made this?!" Misa was surprised, "You were injured!"

"Yes, that's why you—"

"You should ask those brothers of yours or Yui," Misa kept on talking, "What if your wound get wor—"

"Hey," Ruki said as he hold chopsticks with a meat and rice in it and his other hand hold a bowl to prevent the food from falling to the bed. Misa took a glance to Ruki for a while and saw his soft expression then she opened her mouth and eat the food he was offering. Misa was pretty surprised with the taste and started to cry.

"Why are you crying? Is it bad?" Ruki asked.

"This taste remind me of my mother," Misa said as her tears fell to her cheek. Ruki didn't said anything but he kept on feeding Misa until she finished her food.

"You could sleep again," Ruki said as he cleared up the dishes, "And also…"

"Hmm?"

"I'll make you another one if you like it. I mean the food," Ruki said then disappeared.

"Thank you…" Misa said gently and smiled softly after Ruki left. Then she heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Misa asked then the door was opened. It was Yui.

"It's you. What is it?" Misa asked flatly.

"How's your condition?" Yui asked.

"As usual," Misa said.

"I see," Yui disheartened.

"Hey. I want you helped me with something," Misa said seriously.

"Yes?"
