  Amanda opened her eyes slowly as her vision blurred through the ceiling, the entire room was painted all white, with animated designs Patched on the walls. Her limbs hurt badly, each time she tried to move, it's felt like every Bones in her body, we're Broken leaving her Completely immobilized.

  It's was like as if She Fell from Two storey building. Turning her Head slowly to her left side, looking at the machine beeping close to her, still trying to figure out where she was and how she get her. Finally, she returned to her Sense, pulling herself up slowly into a sitting position. She held her head Groaning feeling abit dizzy.

  "Uh! How did I get here?"

  The door to the room opened, and a nurse came in, brown in complexion, dressed in a white uniform. She held a large book on her arm. With a biro stuck on her coat pocket, signifying her as a Nurse, She was surprised to see Amanda fully awake, safe, and sound.

  "Oh my! You're finally awake," the nurse said, walking over to Amanda, checking her vitals, which looked normal. Looking over at the computer screen opposite Amanda's bed, she saw that her entire system was functioning properly.

  She looked at Amanda and introduce herself. "My name is Black Coco, but you can call me Coco," the nurse said. She appeared to be around 31,

  "Amanda! Amanda Hale Grant?!"

  "Yes, I know," the nurse said, fully aware of Amanda's status." Looking around her sorrounding she asked, about her Current location, and how she Ended up here, How long was I out?" Amanda, to which the nurse told her the exact answer.

  "A week!"

  "What -?!" Her mind quickly flashed to Karl and the conflicts that took place in Shibuya. Alarmed, she Grabbed the nurse by her hand asking, about Karl, and his if he's alright."Where's Karl? Did you see him? How is he? Is he safe?!" She begins asking so many questions at thesame time."

  Calm down, miss," he's fine. He just sustained some serious injuries during the conflicts." The nurse didn't finish her sentence when Amanda, with speed, took off disconnecting the tool's were attached to her Body, and ran out of the room barefoot, leaving her footsteps Thumping on the ground, she appeared only on full-body gown.

  "Miss! Miss Grant?!" The nurse called, going after her. Along the hallway, Amanda was greatly troubled, feeling so concerned for Karl. He did so much, sacrificing his life to save her. She met some groups of nurses and doctors and inquired about Karl's room, which they told her was in Ward 56." That's where you'll see him," a fellow colleague said to Amanda. Without hesitating, she ran to the room.

  Ward 56

  Bolting into Ward 56, she saw Karl through the glass. Lying in his bed with oxygen mask fixed on his face, supplying him air to breathe, he appeared badly wounded, with bruises all over his body. His head was wrapped with a white Bondages, the machine beside, beeping steadily, filling the room with its beeping sound.

  Closing her mouth in anguish, guilt began to wash over her, feeling she was the cause of Karl's misery. She wished Karl hadn't gotten involved with her in the first place. If only he didn't left Italy, he wouldn't have found himself in this mess because of her, he would be talking about how he would be meeting with his family in Afghanistan. If only she didn't go to the restaurant, this wouldn't have happened, and Karl wouldn't be in this mess.

  "Karl! No?" She said, placing both of her hands on the glass, mourning as she watched Karl, who lay hopelessly on the bed. A middle-aged man, a doctor, appeared in a white coat with eyeglasses, stand beside Her, who had his hands fold behind his back, comforting her.

  He told her Karl would be fine, that it would only take time to heal." Sniffing!" Doctor , how long will it take for him to fully recovered?" Amanda asked, using The back of Her hand to wipe tears out of her eyes, hoping it wouldn't take that long.

  "Well, Miss Grant, I don't have the answer. We treat, but God heals. According to Karl's injuries, it will take him half of the year to fully recover. He was Found shattered In spines, He also sustained heavy damage as well. His cells are taking their time to fix themselves," the doctor, Mr. Declan Hart, Age 49 said.

  Amanda wept uncontrollably, wishing for Karl's recovery. Mr. Hart examined Amanda's body and found no injuries except for minor scratch marks.

  "How did I get here, Doctor?" Amanda asked.

  "Someone else brought you here during the conflict," Mr. Hart said.

  Flashbacks.

  A few weeks back.

  A fumbling teenager could be seen lying in the streets inside a cracked hole. His blurry eyes scanned the clouds, as he could see it was already late. His jaw had almost healed. Pushing himself up and touching his forehead, he groaned weakly. The last thing he could remember was the strange creature that almost killed him, sending him plunging into the ground.

  He also remembered someone saving him, but he couldn't recall the voice, nor had he heard it before. Shaking his head, he looked at his surroundings; all he could see was destruction, with piles of bodies lying across the street. Down below were ripped apart, clenching their teeth in agony.

  "How did it come to this?" he said through clenched teeth, with tears trickling down from his eyes. Why do we lose so much? What do we do to deserve this? Belzubulb appeared in his palms.

  "Renjiro-san, it isn't your fault, not anyone's fault," Belzubulb said, trying to console the troubled teenager. "It isn't your fault, so don't blame yourself! Shit happens sometimes," Belzubulb continued, consoling him.

  Standing on his feet weakly, he began to make his way towards town. The streets were filled with firefighters and medical teams who swarmed the area, searching for survivors.

  He saw many People's, placed on tables as they were rushed to the hospital in a van. how did it Come to This!?" He thought bitting under his lips, holding back tears,

  He got closer to a restaurant, which he recognized as Amanda's favorite spot, where she usually had her morning breakfast before going to school. Lying a few feet away, he saw Amanda lying helpless on the ground, with blood all over her Body." Amanda!"

  He sped off towards her, kneeling beside her. He looked at her face, which appeared peaceful. He touched her neck, searching for a pulse to see if she was still breathing, which she appeared to be.

  Picking her up in bridal style, he turned around looking at his sorroundinds thinking of what to do, putting her in the van would take a long time for them to arrive at the hospital. He thought and looked ahead memorizing how be saved the little girl earlier he decided to give it's another try.

  Ok renji? You can do this he said inhaling air into his lungs breathing softly.

  "He began to imagine the hospital being so close. In an instant, he took off, leaving behind the sound of bullets.

  Shibuya General Hospital.

  Upon arriving at the entrance, which was blocked by tons of people lying on tables as they were being admitted inside for treatment, he shouted,

  "Help! Somebody help me?!"

  Renjiro yelled, running along the hallway looking for a room to put her in. Doctors and nurses could be seen pacing to and fro. One of them, wearing a blue shirt and blue pants, stopped when she saw Renjiro carrying a blonde American girl in his arms; her eyes widened.

  "Here, I'll take it from here! What is your name, sir?" the nurse asked, placing Amanda on a table. Putting a breathing mask on Amanda face.

  "Renjiro Akatsuki," he said.

  "Thank you, Renji-san, for your help. My team and I will take care of everything from here. Don't worry; when she wakes up, I'll tell her your name, okay?"

  "Okay."

  Renjiro said as he watched Amanda being rushed into a ward. He took off in blind speed, bringing people inside the hospital one after the other.

  Present time.

  Shortly after he brought you here, he left and brought Karl, as well as many others. That boy is really something, Coco said, smiling.

  Amanda was stunned; this was a boy she never took any interest in. Everybody in Nexus Points High knows Renjiro Akatsuki as a lazy youth.

  "Renjiro Akatsuki, the boy who always arrived late to school, always causing trouble, getting his ass kicked. The image of the Japanese boy came into her mind-the image of him in black Nexus uniform, a bag hanging on his shoulder, with his left hand stuck in his pocket. He was accompanied by his kid sister, Timi.

  Renjiro!
