Ira was flying around, looking for a selfish heart. But, he was unsuccessful.

'HOW COME NO ONE IS SELFISH TODAY?!'

Ira shouted, in the air. He didn't mind if some people looked at him, questioning how a boy could fly. Instead, it would make people a bit more selfish, since they can't fly.

Atleast, that's what he's telling himself.

He says he looks for a selfish heart to turn into a Distain, but his mind would tell him he was looking for someone...

... then he would hit his head, so he stops thinking about it...

But It did not go away!

'What is this?!'

Ira was considering something.

Was he... sick?!

'If you're sick, you need to find a doctor!'

Ira recalled a conversation he once heard of a few friends. He remembered the boys say an adress of a good doctor and her name.

'*sigh* guess I have to visit a human!'

Ira flew to the house of the doctor. He doesn't really know this city that good, but he knows a few streets and big places.

While flying, he had to find an excuse for when Marmou, Bell, or someone else sees him with a human.

'I'll just say I'm selfish enough to go see a human. They have something I want.'

Ira arrived at the house.

Wait a minute...

Ira covered his bat ears behind his human ears. He doesn't want to get recognized. Or people to freak out.

He knocked on the door. A bit too hard, actually... But it didn't really affect him.

'Mom! Can you open the door? I have homework.'

'Sure Honey!'

Ira listened to the conversation.

While he was rethinking his options, it was already too late. A female opened the door.

'Oh! Hello there! How can I help you?'

It was a kind looking lady. She had dark blue hair and blue eyes.

'Y-You're a doctor, right?'

'Yes, I am... are you alright?'

'I need you to help me with something... I really don't know what it is, but I know you're a doctor, so maybe you could help me?..'

'Oh! Then please, come inside!'

Ira followed the woman inside, into the living room.

Ira looked in the kitchen, seeing a half-finished dinner.

'Looks like I interrupted her...' Ira whispered.

'What?'

'Nothing!'

'Please, wait in the living room while I get the first aid-kit.'

She walked out of the room, but stopped in the doorway.

'Would you like some company of my daughter? She's around your age...'

Ira had to think a bit.

'Alright!'

He would (try) to make that girl selfish.

'HONEY!'

'Yes, mom?' A voice from upstairs replied.

'Can you help me?'

'Sure! What is it?'

The sound of footsteps were heard, also the sound of someone walking down the stairs.

'What is it, mom?'

The girl asked, sounding a lot clearer now.

'There is a boy, saying he needs my help. So, when I get the first aid-kit to help him, could you talk to him?'

'What?! Who is that boy?'

'He's around the same age as you. I'm sure you can talk to him!'

'... alright... I'll keep him company...'

'That's my girl! He's waiting in the living room. Maybe you can watch some TV or something.'

'...'

The woman and her daughter walked in the living room, seeing Ira, laying on the couch, looking rather bored.

That was, until he saw the daughter.

He jumped up, almost yelling.

'RIKKA?!'

'IRA?!'

Both of them were shocked.

'Well, looks like you 2 know each other! That'll be easier. Wait here you 2! I'll be right back!'

When the woman was gone, Raquel came out of his hiding place and went to Ira.

'What are you doing here ~keru?!'

'I don't know?! I think I'm sick! I know that there was a doctor nearby, so I went to that adress, and looks like you live here!'

'Wait, what? What do you mean by ''sick''? You don't have any bruises on you. So what happened?'

Ira shrugged.

'I really don't know! I just have that feeling that I have to visit something, or rather, someone! But I really don't know!'

At that moment, Rikka, who was sitting at the other end of the couch, jumped up and walked to Ira.

''Oi! What do you thi- woah!'

Rikka held Ira at his shirt, their faces really close, almost touching each other.

It was silent at first.

Ira wanted to say something, but Rikka was faster.

'Who is that girl?'

'What girl?!'

'The girl that you're in love with!'

It was silent again. Rikka and Ira were too focused on each other, then didn't hear Raquel hide and soft footsteps coming.

'Hello! I'm back with th-'

Rikka's mom was standing in the doorway, looking at them.

'Well... this is awkward...'

Notes:

- Ira didn't know it was Rikka's house.
- Ira didn't see Rikka when she was talking to her mother.
- Rikka knew what was wrong with Ira, since she is experiencing it herself, the need to see someone.
