I can't tell if my eyes were open or closed with the thickness of darkness around me. I don't know what's going on but I'm in the middle of a room with my hands bound above my head. I move my foot forward and feel around for anything but I find nothing not even a wall. I rotate and twist my wrists but the chains above just rattles with my efforts to get loose. Then bright lights suddenly blaze on causing me to go blind. When I can finally open them Shizuka is sitting in a chair quietly watching me with hate filled eyes, "Zero how exactly did you undo 5 months of brain washing in a matter of seconds?" I grin. So that's what happened, well it wont work twice. I can't believe I fell for it at all, "Ha are you really that stupid! It may have worked once but now what are you going to do?" I almost wish I hadn't asked because the grin on her face could scare even the strongest people.

"Well I'm glade you asked I tried doing it the easy way but honestly I like this way much better." She grins wickedly and walks out the door. I take the moment and look around the room. The walls are pure stone and bare like this room was made just for this. Then again it probably was. There is also a chair with some straps on it that looks like it came from a mental hospital but I don't think that will be to bad. When the door opens again Shizuka comes back in and behind her is Ichiru carrying a large case and a table. After he sets up the table he stands nervously bouncing from one foot to the other. Shizuka brings the chair with straps and puts it next to her chair. Next she takes the case from Ichiru and motions him to sit down. She puts the case on the table and opens it so I cant see what's inside. The first things to come out are candles and after lighting them pedestals appear in a ring around me for them to sit. When they are set the bright overhead lights go out and I cannot see beyond the candles to where she is. I can hear the sound of metal on metal and some kind of leather but before I can even guess what's going on the restraint chair is pushed into the candle light with Ichiru strapped in. I can tell he is very scared and as he is tugging at his restraints. Shizuka comes into the light behind him. All is see is a silver flash before the hooked metal tip of a whip tears into my chest. A strangled cry comes out then a white heat covers my eyes as its torn back. "Brother!" Before my vision clears I can hear Ichiru struggling. Just as I'm opining my eyes Shizuka whips her hand harshly across his face leaving a cut mark on his face. "Leave him alone you bitch!," I growl. She licks the blood of her finger then draws back again. I was ready for the blow so I made no sound but I could still fell the cold metal tearing away my skin and the warm blood staining my front. "Zero we are going to play this game until you learn obedience. Ichiru hear is just an incentive, you make me too angry and he gets to share your pain," she sneers coldly. "I will never give in to you!," I shout back. "We will see how your feeling about that in a few days…"
