'Dozo Yoroshiku!' means 'Nice to Meet You!'

Usually he wouldn't mind the bleeding that he gets from fights, but for some unknown reason he felt extermely dizzy when he tried to stand up with Anna's help. He almost collapsed again, if not Anna had quickly grasped his arm tightly. What was this sensation? "Haha, this is embarrassing," he grinned as they began to make their way to the nurse's office. "A girl is carrying me to the nurse. I must be dreaming." He noticed that Anna had blushed when he said this. He made another weak laugh, before everything when black.

********************************************

My mystery saviour. When are you going to wake up?

Hey, that's...the voice I heard just now at the tree? Akira pried open his eyes slowly. The smell of medicine and clean sheet filled his nose. Something wet seemed to be on his forehead. "Where am I?" he voiced out, trying to sit up. He wasn't feeling that dizzy anymore, but his mind seemed confused.

"Ah," a girl's voice shrieked when Akira got up suddenly. "You shouldn't be sitting up just yet." He turned to his right. The voice came from the girl that he had saved earlier, Anna. Had she been sitting there the whole time he passed out? He felt that his face was becoming red. This is a first any girl had waited up for him everytime he had to go to the nurse's office.

"Um, are you okay?" Anna asked, snapping him away from his thoughts. Akira smiled warmly. "Yeah, I guess I am thanks to you," he grinned. "You shouldn't have waited up for me you know. Not that it's worth skipping class." Somehow, his new acquaintance shot a worried look. "Actually," she began to explain. "School ended a little while ago."

This surprised Akira. He never expected that he would pass out for that long. He always thought that he had a strong body and spirit, not the type that would easily fall prey to things like 'fainting'. Akira suspected something weird was going on, but he decided that it was not important at the moment. The worried girl in front him now was of more concern.

"Haha, don't look so worried," Akira assured Anna with another smile. "Oh yeah, my name's Akira Matsumoto. Nice to meet you, Anna!"
