Rika got off of Leo's bike and gave the helmet back to Leo. "Thank you for everything," She told him with a smiled.

"Your welcome," Leo replied as he parked his bike and got off of it. "Is your brother here?" He asked and looked at the building.

They were standing in front of the entrance of the hospital.

"Yes, I texted him earlier," Rika checked her phone for any missed called or text from her brother. "He said he'll be out here waiting for me".

"Rika!" a voice shouted and Rika turned toward the entrance. She saw her brother running out to her. 

"Masato!" She smiled and ran over to hugged her brother,

"I'm sorry I wasn't here when you arrived because I was busy with a patient," Masato apologized.

Rika shook her head and smiled. "It's okay, don't worry".

"I'm glad to see you," Masato smiled and looked at his sister. "You change and looked better than before". He told and then noticed the bandage on her arm "Rika, what happen? Are you alright?" He grabbed her arm and examined it.

Rika moved her arm away and smiled. "I'm fine. It's just a scrape".

 Masato sighs. "I know you're fine, but at least let me take a look at it later, okay?"

"Okay," Rika agreed.

 "Um, who is this?"

Masato notices Leo was standing behind his sister quietly without saying anything.

"He's Leo, my friend," Rika introduced. "He has help me so much since I arrived". She told him.

Leo and Masato shook hands and greeted each other.

"Thank you so much for helping my sister".

"It's no problem at all," Leo smiled. "I should get going now. I'll see you guys around," He got on his bike.

"Wait Leo," Rika went over to Leo. "How can I contact you again?" She asked.

Leo smiled and held his hand. "Let me see your cell phone,"

"Okay," She gave her cell phone to Leo, who quickly input something in and hand it back to Rika. "Now you can contact me anytime if you need anything". He told her.

"Thanks," Rika smiled. "Here, let me give mine as well," She pressed Leo's number.

Leo grabbed his cell phone out as it ring and pressed a button before he tucked the phone away in his pocket. "Thanks,  Bye," He waved and drove off.

"Bye," Rika waved and turned to looked at Masato who stared at her with his arms folded. "What?"

"Leo seem nice to you".

"He is," Rika agreed.

"Anyways, I thought you want to know that Yamato is here if you haven't been aware," He told her.

"He is," She looked around. "Is he with you here right now?"

Masato shook his head. "No, he busy with his work," He pulled out his cell phone. "I could call him for you?" He offered and started scrolling through the contact to find Yamato's number.

Rika placed her hand on the phone. "No, it's okay," She looked away. "I don't want him to know I'm here".

"Why?" Masato asked. "He didn't hurt you did he?"

"No, that's not it," Rika turned around and looked at her brother. "I want to surprised him since his birthday is in two days".

"Ah, I see," Masato smiled. "My lips is sealed".
