She screamed in agony. If someone had heard her cry of pain, they probably would have assumed that she was being tortured or had been severely injured. However, her body had not been subjected to any harm. The man who was watching her writhe and shriek knew that this kind of pain was worse than any other that could be inflicted to a human being. The betrayal of one's mind and heart. He didn't know exactly what the Seal was showing her, but from past experiences he knew that it was making her relive a painful event. The Orichalchos always used its victim's weaknesses and knew exactly what would cause her/him the most suffering. He hoped that she would give in soon. As much as he enjoyed watching her misery, he knew his master was impatient and eager to talk to her. But before that could happen, she had to lose her strength . . . and she would, just like all the others.

Yasu tried to steady her breathing after she had been released from her nightmarish memories. She felt no relief, though, only dread. The man had left, but he would be back, and with him, that green energy that formed a prison around her. She probably hadn't been trapped in this room for more than three days, but it felt like it had been years. "They are trying to make me go crazy!" she thought to herself. "Whatever that green stuff is, it's working. I can't get out of here, I can barely move or think clearly. And I'm too weak to escape if given the chance." She knew that they wanted something from her, but she didn't know what it was. That arrogant jerk with blonde hair had told her that she'd be seeing him and his two friends again. Then he'd handed her over to the man who, if she ever got the chance, was going to regret the moment he used that stupid green thing. She wondered if the three guys were waiting for her to go totally insane and then come see her. "Well," she reflected grimly, "they won't be waiting much longer."

While Yasu was mentally bracing herself for the next mental attack, the door slid open, a sound that filled her with despair and fear. However, instead of the tall man dressed in black, a smaller figure entered into the room. She experienced the smallest sensation of hope, until she saw the spiky hairstyle and then her heart sank. She closed her eyes, knowing what was sure to come next. To her immense shock, the chains that bound her arms, feet and legs were released. Her eyes snapped opened, and she looked up to see him extending a hand. For a moment there was complete silence, and then he spoke up. "Are you going to get up, or do I have to carry you outta here?" he asked amused. Yasu, knowing how weak she was, accepted his helping hand. She let go and immediately tried to dash out of the room, only to fall flat on her face. The Australian laughed and then scooped her up off the ground. "Great, there goes Plan B," she muttered. "What was Plan A?" he asked, curious. She smiled for the first time in days. "Well, I was planning on kicking your butt and that other guy's and then getting the heck out of here, but that'll have to wait I guess," she replied, sighing dramatically. "By the way, where are we going?" she said, feeling somewhat uncomfortable being carried by a guy. His reply was two words, "You'll see." She rolled her eyes. "Why do all the guys around here talk in two-syllable sentences?" she wondered. "If the green light didn't make me go crazy, then that will!"
