After dinner was finished with Dr Tae nodded her head towards the hallway, telling you to meet her out there to talk about why you were here. She left the room and you followed her out, leaving the four boys to clear the table and Ryuu who was still curled up on the table in sleep mode.

"Tell me the problem." She said cutting straight to the point.

"The pills don't seem to be working as well as they were before. I take them before I go to bed just like you instructed but  the nightmares still come. I can't stop them and I can't sleep because of them."

"Then perhaps your body is getting used to the medicine and it's losing it's effectiveness. I thought this might happen sooner or later, you have been taking the same medicine for several years now."

"What am I to do?" You asked her.

"I have a slightly stronger sleep medicine that might help however it will not work for very long. I would say it will give you about a month of dreamless sleep before it stops working again. However that will be more than enough time for me to develop a new medicine for you. Perhaps putting you on normal sleep medicine wasn't a good idea in the first place." She muttered to herself.

"Well thank you for taking the time to go to all that trouble for me." You said bowing your head to her.

"There's no need for that child, stand up." She ordered and you did as you were told. Dr Tae always got like that when you thanked her a little too much. "I'm only doing my job. Stay here and I be back with the medicine." She said and then she left you waiting in the hallway. You began to look around a little and then you spotted a small green and black cube in the corner of the room.

"P!" It said when it saw you looking at it. Then it began to bounce off back into the kitchen area. What was that? You recognised it and began to think back. Of course you had seen loads of those cubes attached to Noiz's waist. You frowned, then was that thing his AllMate? If it was did that mean he had been listening to you conversation with Dr Tae? Feeling a little angry that he had been so rudely eavesdropping you began to make your way towards the kitchen area when suddenly something white flashed before you eyes. Completely catching you off guard the thing toppled onto you, dragging you to the floor as it went. You landed on you back, banging your head on the floor but the shot of pain that came with it didn't even bother you. Physical pain never bothered you much due to the intense training your Father made you go through day in day out, you often got hurt and if you cried out in pain it would only resort to more pain so you got used to it. Pain stopped bothering you until eventually it was like you had become numb and you didn't feel it at all. You came face to face with a black gas mask as Clear landed on top of you.

"Oh my goodness, I am so sorry (y/n)."

"Don't worry about it."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah Clear I'm fine."

"Did you hit your head? Does it hurt?" He asked you worriedly.

"No seriously I'm fine but could you get off me now?" You asked him.

"Oh right. I'm sorry." He said standing up. You sighed and stood back up, brushing yourself off.

"I should have been paying more attention. That was just as much my fault as it was yours." You told him honestly.

"Are you sure your okay?" He asked you again. This guy was like a broken record but you had to admit it felt kind of nice for someone to be so worried about you.

"Honestly I'm fine. Are you okay?"

"Oh there's no need to worry about me. I wasn't the one that banged my head on the floor." He replied not actually answering your question about wether he was okay or not.

"(Y/n) here is the medicine." Said Dr Tae appearing from around the corner and handing a small glass bottle full of white pills to you.

"Thank you." You said taking them and instantly placing them in your pocket. "And thank you again for letting me eat dinner with you. It was nice but I really should be going." You told her and she nodded silently. You walked into the kitchen. "Ryuu." You called and your AllMate opened his eyes instantly and stood up. He flew into the air and landed by your side.

"Are you leaving?" Aoba asked you.

"Yes I am. It's getting pretty late." You told him. You smiled and nodded your head slightly. "It was a pleasure to met you all." You looked at the three handsome men before you and then turned to leave. Walking past Dr Tae and Clear and out of the door.

"Did you get what you came for?" Ryuu asked when you were out of the house.

"I did but Dr Tae said she will be making something especially for me however she is unaware of how long it is going to take."

"I see, well as long as you are able to get a good night sleep tonight then everything should be fine." He told you very matter of factly.

"(Y/n)!" You heard someone call out to you from behind. Both you and Ryuu stopped and turned to see who it was. You were a little surprised to see Koujaku walking towards you now with a sword attached to his back. "Do you mind if I walk you home?" He asked when he stood beside you.

"That's very nice of you but I can walk myself home." You said with a smile but Koujaku shook his head.

"I know that you can. I've heard rumours about your skills in battle but you are a woman at the end of the day and what kind of man would I be if I let you walk yourself home at this time of night?"

"My what a gentleman you are." Koujaku smiled and then you spotted the small red and black AllMate on his shoulder. "Who's this?"

"This is Beni my AllMate." Koujaku told you.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." The bird chirped.

"The pleasures all mine I'm sure. Even your AllMate is a gentleman, I suppose AllMate's really are like their Masters." Koujaku smiled a small blush forming on his cheeks.

"Beni and I believe that all women are treasures on this planet and it's a man's duty to protect them."

"If that's true then I can see why you are popular with the ladies." You said and then you began to walk away. Koujaku caught up to you and looked at you with his one uncovered eye.

"You are aware of who I am?" He asked you.

"Of course yes. Your the head of the Rib team Benishigure and the owner of a successful hairdressing business." Koujaku rubbed the back of his head a smile on his face.

"You are rather well informed." Noticing his face you instantly regretted saying so much at once. It had made you seem like some kind of stalker.

"I'm sorry if that un nerved you. I simply make it my business to know of the other Rib teams. It's important that I know what's going on around me at all times. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

"No honestly it's fine. It makes sense that you should do that, it's actually rather impressive."

"You think?" You asked him with wide eyes.

"Yeah I mean, I can tell your very dedicated to being a good Rib leader." You looked down at the floor.

"Yes I suppose I am." Koujaku noticed the sadness in your eyes as you said this but he said nothing and looked ahead of him instead. He stopped smiling and the mood between the two of you suddenly changed.

"If you are that well informed you wouldn't by any chance have any idea what all the resent disappearances are about would you?" He asked.

"I can't say that I do. I have done all I can to look into it. Mostly in fear that members of Black Dragon will disappear like that too however the only thing I was able to find was the rumour that Morphine are behind it. I don't believe that such a group even exists though." You said matter of factly.

"I was afraid you might say that. The other day everyone in Dry Juice disappeared without a trace, including Mizuki."

"A friend of your?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't given up on my search of answers though and if I am to find anything then I will notify you." Kouaku looked at you with warm eyes.

"You would really do that?"

"Of course. Although we are in different teams were are all still a part of Rib. It's like a large umbrella and we're all under it, seperate but joined at the same time. Which is why I will do anything I can to help my fellow Rib members." You told him. Koujaku had a blush in his face as he looked at you with a surprised expression.

"I wasn't expecting you to say that. You seem like the kind of girl who's full of surprises."

"Thank you...I think." You added not sure if he was complimenting you or not. You suddenly stopped and so did Koujaku looking back at you. You nodded towards a small house a little way down the road.

"This is me." You said. "Thank you for walking me home. You really didn't have too but I'll admit it was nice to get to know you a little better."

"Same to you. I hope you and I can see each other again."

"So do I but for now goodnight Beni and Koujaku." You said nodding towards the two and leaving. You heard Ryuu trotting next to you and you could feel the eyes of Koujaku and Beni following you. You smiled, he was nice and you really had meant that you wished to see him again...
