Hello to my awesome readers! Thank you for reading this story and also for the reviews! :) It's taking a long time for updates I know. I'll try really hard to update faster if I can… Also, is it okay if maybe you guys can give me an inspiration? I'm in desperate need for it xD When I published this story back in November, I always had that first chapter replaying in my head… I didn't really plan out the other chapters (heh-heh…eh…) … Well, I guess I should just go with the flow and hope for the best. If anyone has any great suggestions, please feel free to either put it on review or PM me. Thanks a bunch! Sorry if it's short… I just typed this now…
Kohana's POV
Few hours later and I was released from the hospital. Boss drove us all back to LRN. Once we got back…
"Do you need to lie down?" Kenshi asked quickly as he pulled out some blankets.
"Do you want something to eat?" Hiro started heading for the kitchen.
"How about something to drink?" Boss inquired and also headed for the kitchen.
"Guys." I laughed. "I'm okay, really."
"But you still gotta be careful." Kenshi warned with a kind smile.
"Thanks, but I'm not in pain at all…" I started.
"… well, we'll still take care of you anyway." Takuto said. "No matter what…"
"Thanks." I smiled warmly.
"Um leader? What about today's mission?" Hiro asked.
"Mission? Oh yeah!" Riki snapped his fingers, remembering.
"We're not going?" I asked.
"We will, but you won't."
"What why?"
"Kohana, you just came back from the hospital, you need to rest." Hiro explained as he pats my shoulder.
"But I'm fine really."
"I don't want you to suddenly collapse." Riki sighed and stroked my hair.
"Because then I would be a burden right?" I inquired.
"Wrong." Riki said as he continued stroking my hair. "I almost got a heart attack today…" He whispered softly. "Even though it was only a faint, I still can't help, but worry. You're important to me and if you left me, I would see no point in living…"
"Thanks Riki." I hugged him. "You're important to me too. I can't live without you either." He tilted my face and kissed me.
"Um a-hem, hello? We're still here…" Kenshi blushed as he cleared his throat multiple times.
"OH!" We pulled away from each other slightly.
"Geez, get a room." Hiro turned away, flustered.
"It seems that she's capable enough to go on today's mission Leader." Takuto smiled.
"Alright." Riki smiled and ruffled my hair. "Are you sure Kohana? If yes then I swear that I will protect you."
"Alright. And I swear that I won't get in your way." I replied with confidence and we all got ready for the mission…
FEW DAYS LATER
Third POV
"Let me get this straight, you want us to try to get closer to Kohana and Riki?"
"I plan to earn their trust, and then we can proceed."
"You didn't really plan for the other toast candidates though…"
"Yeah, but this time, I wanna wait. Plus, the Demon King requested to give them 2 weeks…"
"Was there a reason?"
"Not that I know of… I don't question the King."
"Right." The rest agreed and all got into a dark van… Similar to the Black Foxes…

Kohana's POV
"It's showtime!" Riki exclaimed excitedly. "Ready Kohana?" He asked me softly and took my hand.
"Yes." I smiled back, and we left the van, not knowing that there was another similar dark van nearby… Waiting for me…
Sorry that it's short…
