DAICHI AND LEVI

'Damn, it's already 5:30,' Daichi thought looking at his watch. 'I better get home soon or I'm going to get soaked!' He'd just finished worked and was running home before it rained.

"In a hurry to get home, aren't you?" a female voice said. He turned to see Leviathan running next to him. If he didn't already know her true nature, he'd be surprised by her sudden appearance.

"What do you want?" Daichi responded.

"Can't I just say a hello?" Leviathan retorted.

"No. Don't you remember? I made a guideline about our relationship"

Leviathan frowned. "I'm just trying to be nice, jerk."

"Bah, I've been called that and worse so many time that it means nothing," Daichi said. She huffed as she began walking away. Daichi was about to continue on his way when his eyes spotted something. He saw a drunk driver swerving and he was about to hit Leviathan. Without thinking, the Cricket Rider ran at her. Increasing his speed he ran towards her and pushed her out of the way, sending her to safety. Daichi looked up and saw the car coming at him.

'CURSE YOU DRUNK DRIVER!' Daichi screamed mentally.

The last thing he saw and heard was a feminine scream and then darkness….

"Ohh…" Daichi groaned as he slowly got up. He noticed he was in bandages. He looked around to see he was in a hospital room with bandages wrapped around his body to. To his right he saw Leviathan sleeping on a chair.

"Ahh, Daichi you're awake," said Dr. Hasuma as he entered.

"What happened?" Daichi asked.

"Well.... you got hit by a car but your cybernetics helped you survive the major impact. However, the collision still messed your body up," Ryuki answered. "Leviathan took you here for treatment."

"Ah right, its all coming back now," he murmured, wincing as he felt as he felt an intense pain. "How long was I out?"

"Truthfully, a week." Ryuki said as Leviathan slowly woke up. She yawned and then gasped as she saw Daichi awake "Daichi!" Leviathan cried out, tears in her eyes, as she plunged on the boy for a hug. "You're awake!!"

"You're alright." Daichi murmured. He was still sorta out of it.

"Bakayarou, why did you save me? You hate me," Leviathan said crying

"Because... I can't lose you," Daichi said lifting his hand to stroke her hair "I may not say it much, but you're someone I care about."

"D-Daichi." Leviathan was blushing.

"Leviathan? Daichi?" Dr. Hasuma interrupted.

"What is it?" Leviathan asked, annoyed.

"Visiting hours are over. We have to do some tests and Daichi needs some rest for his wounds."

"Okay..." Leviathan said as she got off Daichi. "But I'll be back tomorrow!"

Daichi sighed and then saw Dr. Hasuma smile. "What?" Daichi demanded.

"Nothing, I'm just happy for the both of you, that's all." Dr. Hasuma responded.
