Touko woke up and saw nothing but darkness. She looked at the window and saw the stars shimmering in the sky and the moon faintly lighting the room. She sat up, still in the same room she woke in. Her mind dreaded to admit this was no nightmare but in fact, real.
Touko groaned and clutched at her stomach. She didn't notice how extremely hungry she had become. She saw a note left on the side table and picked it up quickly reading it.
Press the button on the wall to your left you need anything.
Touko quickly pressed the button and after a minute of waiting she heard a voice.
"What do you need Miss White?"
"My stomach hurts really bad…I need food." Touko groaned.
"Alright Miss White. I will be up to your room with food in a few moments."
"Thank you…" Touko said before curling into a ball on the bed.
A few long minutes later Concordia walked in with a tray of food. She set it down on the night table next to the bed and left without a word.
Touko couldn't help herself and sat up quickly and took the tray into her lap, she looked over what she had been given; a bowl of amazing smelling soup, a piece of herb filled bread, and a cup of relaxing chamomile tea. She licked her lips happily and quickly started to gulp down her soup. The flavor was extravagant and she enjoyed every drop before moving on to her bread which was also full of flavor. She didn't realize how thirsty she had become and gulped down the tea.
A sudden wave of sleepiness came across her and she laid back down in the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning she was awoken by the light filtering into her room. She groaned and sat up rubbing her eyes.
"So you're finally awake." A voice said behind her.
Touko nearly jumped out her skin but whipped around quickly to see N standing in the doorway smiling. Her first reaction was feeling anger boil up inside her. She felt the need to scream but to her frustration, no sound came out.
N walked over to her smiling, "I hope you've been comfortable here so far Touko. You really gave me a scare when you fainted after our battle."
Touko's feelings finally exploded and she lashed out uncontrollably at him, screaming and cry. Through her tears she saw his scared and shocked face. She hit at him but he turned around and left and a moment later a young woman came in. This was not Concordia. Concordia had blonde hair and this woman had light pink hair and the same color eyes.
"Miss White I suggest you calm yourself or I will have the guards give you a tranquilizer." The woman said. Just then Concordia came walking in behind her.
"It's no use Anthea. She is just being a fretful child right now. It would be best to leave her alone to sort out her feelings." Concordia said and then turned, walking back out of the room. Anthea followed her moments later, leaving Touko alone.
Touko crawled onto the bed and sobbed and sobbed for what felt like hours. She had too many emotions going on. She was sad and at the same time she was angry and she didn't understand why she was feeling so many different mixed emotions. She hated herself for that.
She didn't know what time it was that she finally had no more tears to cry. The sun was already setting and she heard the door open and saw N step inside making sure to close the door behind him so that she wouldn't try to escape, like he knew she would eventually.
"Isn't it beautiful Touko?" N asked quietly walking up to the window.
"I hate you N!" Touko yelled, finding new reason to cry, and she threw the glass cup that had tea in it at his back.
He winced feeling a slightly pain when the glass shattered against his back.
"Now now…was there need to do that Touko?" N turned around to look at Touko.
"You released them! My friends!" she yelled and sobbed once more.
"It was necessary Touko. I would think you of all people would realize this." N said taking a step closer to Touko.
"I love them! They are my family!" Touko said falling to her knees on the floor screaming now.
N hated to see her cry like that. He knelt down beside her and her eyes met his. He seemed to get lost in those eyes.
"You have the most beautiful eyes Touko…Azure blue…so exotic…" N said staring into her eyes.
She felt rage well up within her again and she pushed him away. This was a giant mistake. Plasma guards came running in to subdue her, quickly and efficiently knocking her.
N yelled at the guards to leave and he picked up Touko carefully and placed her in the bed and tucked her. He lightly brushed a piece of her warm brown hair off her face, staring at her for a few moments, then turning and simply leaving her to rest. He knew he was going to have trouble winning her over but he didn't expect her to put up such a fight.
