Breaking a Leg
This features Questing, of the Kamendressing crew.
"Taiga," Wataru said patiently, "You know, you don't have to hover."
That's what her older brother - and Bishop, she reminded herself ruefully - tended to do. Never mind that Taiga was trying to be helpful, it was just a bit annoying to have him try to run her life as well as D&P."You know I'm just worried. You know what the doctor said."
Wataru grimaced. "Doesn't D&P need you today? You know, being the president and everything? I assure you, I'm not going to collapse of exhaustion."
"Bishops are responsible for the Fangire," Taiga reminded her. "You should be resting. Or at least sitting down. You know that your leg is broken....."
"Yes, the doctor gave me instructions," Wataru said sharply. "I'm not going to keel over working on violins, I promise."
Taiga pinched his nose. "I could just feed you, you don't really need that food. Or at least let Mio make lunch for you."
"I am a *King*, Taiga, I think I'm fully capable of taking care of myself." Why he thought she needed babysitting, she didn't know.
"You're defenseless," Taiga said. "I can't protect you like this if you insist on being like this. You have no Rook...."
"Taiga. Stop. Freaking out." She shook her head. "I am not going to go to D&P and play on a computer for a few hours."
"Then you're either going to have me or Mio as bodyguards until you heal," Taiga told her. "Or you can get fed and heal faster...."
Wataru hated life energy feedings. Her idea of a good meal never matched up with Taiga's. "Why don't you feed me, and then go back to D&P?"
"Only if you go back with me," Taiga said, adjusting his glasses. "I refuse to lose my baby sister."
That's what it came down to, wasn't it? The whole little sister thing. Never mind that Taiga wouldn't mind siring a kid on her, which was not big-brother-like behavior. He didn't care as long as it kept her safe.
Which was why her gynecologist was forbidden under pain of death to talk to her Bishop.
"I'll be fine." The Kiva armor would protect her, and he knew it. Not that he'd ever think so, of course.
"No, you won't," Taiga argued back. "And I'm not moving until I know you're safe."
Rolling her eyes quietly, Wataru went back to her violins, ignoring her Bishop utterly.
