"How did this happen?" he asked me furious, his eyes had turned red and I gulped. He was almost hovering over me.

"You fell down?" he asked me to which I shook my head no.

"Then?" he questioned raising his eyebrow waiting for me to reply.

"Physical education," I replied nervously feeling his hard gaze. I could hardly form any sentences to his interrogation. Before he could ask me anything, Lizzy and Louis came in.

"You called us?" Louis asked Ruka. I sat there on the table counting the seconds that passed by biting my inner cheek.

"Yes," Ruka replied in a hard tone, "Why is that none of you informed me about this?" he growled showing the bluish green color on my skin.

Lizzy gasped looking at it and Louis was taken aback but his composure still intact.

"When did it happen?" she asked me and then her eyes went wide in realization,"Dodgeball?" she asked me. I gave her an uncertain smile.

"I'm so sorry Eve. I should have noticed it," she apologized, "I forgot that you weren't like us," she said regret in her voice.

"This is one thing you were told to do," Ruka growled at her in anger.

"It isn't Lizzy's fault, she didn't know " I defended her not wanting her to be scolded.

Louis walked over and placed his hand cold hands on my leg to which I winced in pain. It felt like my muscles were being torn.

"I think it needs a check," he informed Ruka. He took a deep breath trying to calm himself but his eyes were still blood red.

"You know what to do," Ruka said to Louis to which he nodded and left.

He picked me up in his arms and walked out, Lizzy trailed behind us. We reached my room and he set me on the bed sitting next to me.

"Do you know who did this?" he asked Lizzy.

"Scarlet," she replied to him cautiously.

"By Scarlet, you mean Megan's friend?" Lizzy nodded to which Ruka chuckled darkly, "I see."

She really didn't like me. No wonder the ball hit so hard and to be the first one to be out. Was that a sign telling I wasn't supposed to be there. Was there going to be more like that? So many questions came up in my mind.

"Lizzy can you leave us alone for some while and get dinner up here for two", it wasn't a question but an order to which she didn't mind a bit. Having a grin on her face suddenly she left us alone in my room.

He got a first aid box from the cupboard placing on the bed and took out a bottle with a cotton dampening it with the colorless liquid. Using the cotton he wiped the injured portion in and around it, it felt cool against my skin.

"Does it hurt?" he asked me his eyes softening.

"A little bit," I answered him with a small smile, "please don't hold Lizzy responsible for this," I pleaded.

"I won't. I promise something like this won't happen again, love," he said tenderly stroking my cheek. I closed my eyes a cat-like gesture and then opened my eyes.

Our faces were close by. I saw him lower his gaze on lips and I did the same. I wondered how his lips would feel against mine. My heartbeat increased with the thoughts that formed in my mind. He leaned in forward slowly our lips inches apart.

"Ahem," a throat cleared near the door. Startled I moved back abruptly my face beet red. Ruka looked more than annoyed at the distance I had put and the interruption.

"Sebastian," Ruka greeted Sebastian standing near the door smirking and walked inside.

"I spoke to Henderson, by night they'll be notified," Sebastian told seriously, "My my," he said looking at my leg, "it looks pretty bad. Is it bearable?" he asked me.

"Yeah," I nodded. A maid came inside with a trolley filled with food I believe.

"That's good," he said, "get well soon," he patted my head.

"Are you going to do something about this?" Sebastian asked Ruka.

"Not now," he said a smile arising, "I'll handle her myself." Her? Then it hit my mind. They were talking about Megan.

"I will leave you two lovebirds alone now, continue what you were doing," Sebastian said stressing the word alone to which Ruka glared at him. His cell vibrated before Sebastian left the room and picked it up.

"Yes...Where... Did you get it right? We'll be there....okay," Ruka spoke and then closed the phone putting it back in his pocket, "I'm sorry but I have some work to finish up, will you be alright alone?" he asked me with concern, "Do you want me to send someone up for company?"

"No, I'll be fine," I assured him. Feeling a slight disappointment of him not staying here.

"Alright then," he got up from the bed, "I want you to sleep early," he said to which I nodded my head and he left with Sebastian.
