Kubinashi: She doesn't own Nurarihyon no mago or she would have married me already.
Me: YEAH!
Chapter 4
She woke up feeling excruciating pain from her left arm. She even started crying from the intensity. Why does my arm hurt me? She held her left arm firmly. Oh that is right... She felt her blood go cold. He did this to me...She remembered what happened. I want to go home... She thought sadly but she had no home to go to now.
"Oi!" Someone kicked her on her stomach. "Get up, bitch." He scowled at her. "You have been sleeping for 3 days already."
She did what she was asked to do while keeping her head bowed down. She didn't want to face the consequences of disobeying them.
"Follow us." Another guy ordered.
Kana followed behind slowly, still afraid to look at them in the eye. She stopped when the three guys did. One of them took out a collar and tied it around her neck. At the back of the collar, there was a long chain like it was supposed to be a leash. She couldn't help but feel like a dog now.
"Beyond said that she is getting feisty." The guys laughed when he said that, as if it was really funny.
"Here, clean this entire place." He handed her a mop.
Kana couldn't believe they left her such a huge room to clean when one of her arm wasn't functioning well. She can move it for some strange reason but it still hurts.
"A-All of it?"
"Yes all of it! Tsk, slaves these days are lazy as hell."
"Wait a minute." One of them said. "Beyond said that she needs to be treated differently, meaning she will have to go to Eden Garden."
The guy huffed before he pulled the chain of her collar. Kana just followed behind angrily. She was not a beast that needs to be tamed.
"Here it is." He opened the door and pushed her inside.
"Enjoy." He said, through gritted teeth, obviously trying to control his anger, then slammed the door at her face.
She felt a bit frightened. Where am I?She saw a door at the other end and she could tell she was supposed to walk to it, but the thought on what could be behind that door worried her greatly.
A beast? Maybe Beyond is there?She felt like crying again. I don't want to stay here!The images of her friends and that yokai flashed through her eyes.
"Hahaha! I'm 100 percent sure there are yokai in this place!" Kiyotsugu laughed like a mad scientist. "I'll finally see one! Right Jiro-kun?"
"Hai." As usual, Jiro agreed with Kyogetsu.
"Why are we getting dragged into this?" Saori scoffed.
"I'm supposed to be home now." Natsumi sighed.
"There is no yokai in here guys." Rikuo laughed nervously. "Right, Kana-chan?" He smiled at her.
Her friends... tears flowed down her face when she realized how much she missed them.
"Heh, you amuse me." The handsome yokai smirked at her.
Him too... I have to be strong! My friends are my only family now... if I ever got out of here and asked them if they could let me live with them, they would her resolve back, she walked towards the door and shakily turned the knob, feeling nervous of what will be behind it. Gulping silently, she took a peek at what was there.
Her eyes widened at the sight. It was not what she expected. The place was lively with many people chattering and having sake.
"Some sake here!" A guy shouted drunkenly.
"Hai!" A woman smiled happily, ready to bring the sake he asked until she saw Kana standing near the door with a confused expression.
"Rin, can you go get sake to Mr. Hiden?" The woman Rin nodded her head and went to perform her duty.
"Welcome!" The woman smiled kindly at Kana.
"Umm," Kana shyly averted her gaze from the people. "Where are we?"
"Oh! You don't know?" She looked surprised before she answered. "We are at Eden Garden."
What's that? She didn't get to ask what it was when she noticed the woman looking at her from head to toe, making her feel embarrassed. She knew she looked dirty, untidy and a complete mess. Her clothes were also soaked with dry blood.
"My name is Rei and you won't mind if I took you to get a shower, right?" Rei said.
Kana sighed in relief. This woman is so nodded her head, feeling safe with her.
"Good, 'cause you my dear, look like a hot mess." Rei admitted.
For the first time since she came here, Kana laughed.
Rei smiled fondly at her, feeling the happiness of making this girl laugh. She took her hand gently and led her to the shower room.
"What's your name, dear?"
"Kana."
"A beautiful name for a beautiful woman." Rei didn't hesitate to compliment her. Kana blushed at being called beautiful and wanted to compliment her back.
"You are beautiful too Rei-san." The black haired woman couldn't help but notice Kana's manner. Most of the females here were rude.
"Rei-san..." Kana hesitate with asking a favor.
"What?" Rei smiled to her guest assuredly.
"... I don't have any spare clothes to wear." Kana sheepishly said.
"I knew that from seeing how you dressed."Rei chuckled. "Don't worry, I already have a spare Kimono for you to wear." She winked at her and pointed at the shower room.
"We are here."
"T-Thank you" She was grateful to this woman. She felt like she could survive at the rate.
"Go, dear." She pushed her gently to the shower room. "Your clothes are all inside." She gave her a thumbs-up, then closed the door.

"OMG Kana! You look like a noble princess!" Rei exclaimed loudly while doing Kana's make up after she finished doing her hair.
"Really?"
"Yes! You look gorgeous!" She continued to praise Kana.
"Thank you Rei-san." Kana smiled happily.
"Oh my God! You finally smiled!" Rei started to dance her victory dance, making Kana laugh.
"I've never seen you here before. Are you new? Did you come here to work?" She frowned trying to check her memory again if she ever seen her before.
"I don't know why I am here." Kana answered honestly.
"Hmm well then Kana, do you want to help us with our job? We are short handed right now." She asked.
"I don't mind. I mean you did help me, so I want to repay you." Rei had definitely taken a liking to this girl.
"Yosh, let's go then." They went out of the room they were in and got back to the place they first met.
"Rei-sama! We need your help, can you serve all this?" Rin said, giving her a tray full of sake.
"This and this is for table 7 and 9. They are important guests." She emphasized their importance. Rei took it from her hand and looked at Kana.
"Kana, take this sake to table 9 and gently lay it there." She ordered knowing very well that Kana is a newbie so she couldn't let her satisfy the guest she has.
"Hai."
"Wait Kana, make sure you just serve the drink. Don't linger there for long," Rei said worriedly. Kana nodded in understanding.
Heading towards the table that said nine on it, she gently laid the drink on the table and was ready to go, when a hand grabbed her wrist, making her stumble down to the floor.
"Hey baby, want to play with me." A fat guy said drunkenly. She didn't know what to do other than stare in fright. When she regained her senses she forcefully tried to remove his hands from her.
"Feisty? I like girls like that." He smirked, pulling her towards him. "What kind of Yokai are you?" He asked as she felt his stunk breath on her.
"If they find out you're human, they might eat you later."She remembered that yokai's words.
"L-Let go of me." Kana managed to choke out.
Rei who was serving sake to tables, saw what the guy was doing to Kana and immediately went to rescue her.
"Ton-sama..." She sat down next to him and caressed his cheeks.
"Do you want to play with me." She tried expose a bit of her cleavage for him to take interest in her and let Kana go but instead he slapped her.
"I don't want an ugly woman who's body is full of scars." He spat on her face then looked at Kana.
"Ton-sama! I beg you to let go of her". Rei bowed down her head to him. "She is just a newbie. She has no skill in art." She tried to convince him again but the guy glared at her.
"Let go of me." Kana stressed the words out. She was mad at how he was treating Rei.
"I love girls like you." He purred, getting way too close to Kana's liking.
"W-wait!" A guy shakily said.
"Don't touch her. She is Beyond's slave!" Everyone gasped in shock.
The guy let go of her hand as if it was hot as hell, losing his composure when he heard that.
"Please don't tell Beyond-sama what I did! I beg you. I'll never touch you ever again! Spare my life," Ton cried pathetically.
Kana just nodded her head dumbly while Rei quickly took her hand and dragged her away from him.
A burst of laughter was heard. "Beyond's slave is a human! Haha that guy is crazy indeed."
Rei let go of her hands in shock when she heard that.
"Not that I care anyway." He continued and just drank his sake, getting back to the ladies that were next to him.
"You bitch!" One of the women who were sitting suddenly aome towards them angrily.
"Why would he take her when there are us? I can't believe he chose a human and didn't choose me." She scoffed at her.
"You should know your place slave!" She almost slapped Kana when Rei held her hands tightly, stopping her from slapping Kana.
"Raising a hand at someone under me is quite bold of you." Rei said emotionlessly. "You know the consequence." She smirked at the blond woman, letting go of her hand after she saw the color drain from her face. The woman left after giving Kana a hard glare.
There was a moment of silence when Rei finally broke it. "I can't believe you are a human."
"You hate humans too, right." Kana is a perceptive person.
Rei chuckled sadly. "Yeah... I hate them but I can't hate you." She smiled at her. Kana was confused about that "why?"
"Because you are Beyond's slave."
"Is being his slave a special thing?" She didn't like him and yet everyone seems too.
"Yeah... Those women don't know how terrible he is." Kana was surprised. She thought she would say something different.
"He is a sick person who torture people for entertainment." she spoke with experience.
"He did this to me." She rasied her kimono sleeves to show kana a completely black hand.
Kana gasped when she saw the hand. "He burned this hand till I no longer felt the pain." She closed her eyes at the painfully memory. "He cut me to pieces too, from my fingers to my arm," she pointed at the subtle sewing marks. They were so black that Kana almost missed them if she hadn't mentioned it.
"He seems to enjoy cutting the most" She bitterly said after raising her other sleeves and the hem of her kimono. It was all sewed, indicating that she was cut in other places too. Kana brought her hands to her mouth to cover them. That's horrible.
"When I was his slave... I've tried many times to commit suicide." Angry tears flowed down her face when she remembered what happened.
"I failed every time." she held Kana by her shoulders tightly to the point that it hurt her.
"I wanted to die! Death was so much better than being with him!" she looked like a mad woman all of a sudden."I couldn't escape! I was trapped in his maze." She stared at Kana with crazy eyes.
"I lost hope when he finally let go of me because I could no longer be of use and then Kei took me. I thought it will be worse, but I was wrong. It was paradise!" Kana took a step back in frighten, she wasn't sure if it is because Rei scared her or was it from what she told her.
"As long as I stayed away from him when he is mad, I was safe!" Rei let her go and looked at her hands in hysteria. "It was paradise!" She repeated.
Kana didn't want to hear anymore so she fled, scared from what she heard. Rei was so kind to everyone from what she had seen and for her to look crazy from experiencing something like that, meant she went through hell.
She ran back to her cell, closing the door when she entered and leaned on the door for support while she breathed in and out in shock. He would do all that stuff to me...She slide down to the floor and hugged her knees, burying her face on it. The thought itself made Kana scared. I don't want to stay here any longer! Someone save me! She cried knowing no one will come and save her. She was... alone. She sobbed harder at the thought of being alone. Nobody will save me...Those words hunted her. I'm alone.

2 days later (1 week after the kidnap)
"Kei-sama! Kei-sama!" A guard ran in the room, screaming in panic.
"What?" Kei snapped annoyed. Can't everyone see that he was busy thinking of a plan to destory Nura Rikuo?
The guard held his legs in support as he panted for breath.
"T-the hostage..." He didn't want to say it all of a sudden.
"Spit it out already." Kei rolled his eyes. The guard gulped from nervousness and decided to say it.
"The hostage escaped!"
"... WHAT!"

I believe this is not a cliffhanger, so you won't kill me for it... right? XD
xNightDreamerx: Lmao I'm starting to pity the guy XD but he deserved it anyway. *Give you the knife* Just don't let his organs come out U.U lol
I think in Chapter 6. I'm finally going back to Rikuo in the next chapter but squeezing the romance might have to wait a bit since this story isn't in the romance category. Since I love KanaXRikuo I cannot let this story go on without putting many KanaXRikuo moments.
Fede194: Well... *coughs* that makes the two of us. *coughs* I'm glad to know it was well described because I have been editing/worrying over it.
I'll be honest with you but the blond one is the worst XD They are both bastards though!
XxThe-Crest-Of-AnubisxX: I killed myself to make sure I updated this today. We can't afford another delay now can we. As for Rikuo... Unless he can see her memories, I doubt he will ever found out XD.
Awesome D.T: LOL! I so expected this reaction! "I HOPE YOU DIE A BRUTAL, HORRIBLE DEATH AND MAGGOTS CRAWL OUT OF YOUR WOUNDS!"
O_O EWWW XD I can't believe I imagined this but then again I'm gross myself LOL That is a horrible death though.
Nice? xD Don't call the enemy nice but he is better than Beyond if we think about it.
I know I did xD
I think I should *-* but sadly I may not write another KanaXRikuo story at least this year.
silvergoldmoonlight: What are you talking about o.O XD? I'm seriously sorry. I forgot to give the warning. I wonder how too~ LOL
They want revenge obviously and maybe something more.
It is dark and hopefully this chapter made up for it.
Honestly, today is the worst day ever xD First: I needed to update so I had to work like crazy because I thought SM will release the mv of EXO overdose today BUT THEY DIDN'T! *Cries* I have been waiting to it since the beginning of April! Damn _ and then I need to play since the game have a deadline but I had no time to do that ._. Lastly, Silvergoldmoonlight gave me a freaking good idea for the cover of this story that needs to be done ASAP. *Dies from over exhaustion* See you guys next Tuesday and SM better release that mv tomorrow or I'll chop them to pieces.
