Chapter 10 Shiori
"Hmmm. Your outburst seems to be more commonly to happen when Aiko is nearby you" doctor Atsushi tried to explain some hypotheses about why my outburst has come to life again. Once was when I participated in the exam, and then again when Katsuo tried to mock me the third time. And all of those times was Aiko close by. I didn't really understand what it had to do with anything.
"And?"
"My theory is that your kekkei genkai works better when Aiko is with you, as both of you share the same cells parts" the doctor did an experiment with me a couple of years ago. He injected me with some of Aiko's blood as we had the same blood type. He got a blood bag from the hospital when Aiko did a blood sample. The goal was to let Aiko's gene adjust to my kekkei genkai and my genes to make me stronger. Because the Shimizu clans bloodline is very unique, making their chakra so flexible so it can adjust to anything.
We thought the experiment was a failure until now. His theory was a proof that me and Aiko was connected. It also made me realize why I could sense the Shimizu's easily.
"And what will this information help us in any way?" I asked, not knowing what was going through the doctors head.
"I want to see if my theory is correct!
"Don't you dare make Aiko be involved in this crazy mess!" I yelled and I got electro shocked. Doctor Atsushi had recently put a tight "necklace" device that give me electric shocks whenever I made my voice too loud.
"Don't you shout at me!" He said and kept writing in his writing pad.
"And I wouldn't go so far and test things on the Shimizu family myself. If I did then I would have been thrown out of the village in an instant" oh did I wish he did.
"The device on your neck is also equipped with radar signal so I can keep a track on you" he further explained as I was nearly falling asleep in my cell.
"Are you listening to me?!" He raised his voice and I focused a little more.
"Yeah something about to await to see any more similarities to your theory?"
"Correct" I nailed it.
"But before you leave today. We have to check that the the Shimizu cells has spread too much, or worse" Doctor Atsushi has wanted me that if my body was too weak, then Aiko's cells might take over and then I possess the same abilities as the Shimizu clan. We hadn't been too worried about that situation as the doctor injected such a small amount of blood in to me. But not too long ago we realized that my eyes had tried to turn in to a golden color. It was still brown but you could see the golden tint in it. We assumed that it might have spread a little bit over time. Luckily it was only when I went berserker or when I used my plasma release. And it was only my right eye that changed.
We went to an experiment room that had a machine that was probably controlled by the panels nearby. Doctor Atsushi strapped me on to a chair that was in front of the big machine. The amount of experiment that had been done to me has made me barely terrified about anything.
The doctor walked over to the panels as I tiredly sat on the worn out chair.
"Hopefully the laser will help" he started to explain while pressing some button.
"The laser beam should subdue a bit of the Shimizu cells so it won't spread any furthe-" The machine had released a strong beam on to me, the power was mainly focused on my right eye so I felt an immense pain in that area.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Being stuck didn't make anything better. I really couldn't a thing. I fainted before the Doctor could stop the machine.
~~~
I woke up in my cell with a heavy headache. I sat up on the bed and scratched my head, feeling that I had bandage that covered my right face.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!" I got panic because I didn't know how long I've been sleeping. My headache made it even worse. I looked around and realized that I was put in my cell again. I heard the sound of footstep growing closer to my room. I walked quickly to the bars and bagged for release. It wasn't the doctor who appeared, it was Aiko's little sister instead.
She got terrified and backed away from my cell.
"Shiori..? What happened to you?" I got disappointed as I knew that Harumiko couldn't open the cell for me. I sat on the ground sighed.
"It's a long story.."
"But you're hurt!"
"Just get the doctor for me!" I was acting rude towards her but I really needed to see Doctor Atsushi. She hesitated at first but she finally ran to get the doctor.
"Hm. You're finally awake-"
"what happened to me?!" I stood up as I yelled at him but because of that, I got shocked again so I fell to the floor.
"You never learn to behave.." he mocked but continued explaining.
"The laser beam was overloaded. I didn't expect that outcome so I tried to turn it off. The Shimizu cells is still there luckily-"
"Is that all you care about?!" I didn't care about the consequences anymore and let myself get shocked again.
"... there was no fatal damage when I examined you. However. You're right eye went blind"
"Blind..?" I was anxious. I started to think about how the others would react if they saw my eye. They all would question it and the bullying would get worse.
"You blinded me? I'm already too weak and now you have made it even worse! Wasn't your goal to make me stronger? So you guys could use me as some kind of secret weapon for the village?! Wasn't that the whole plan?! Well you fucked that up!" I yelled so much so the device destroyed itself. It seemed it had a limit until it would break of overuse. The doctor dispersed the laser bars and went in to my cell to beat me up.
"Don't question my decision" he said after the final punch in the face.
"I don't want you here. But if you go out then we will be discovered.. Teleport us to your shelter" he said dragged me out of the room. My cell was built with seals on it so I couldn't use any jutsu.
I tried to get up from the floor but I couldn't. It felt like I had boulder all over me, making me weak and unmovable.
"I said: teleport us!" He demanded but I could barely do anything.
"Teleport us!" He started to stomp on my back, making it even harder to get up. With the little energy I had left, I grabbed the doctor Atsushi's ankle and teleported to my home.
The doctor grabbed my shoulder and put me in a sitting position, making me lean against the wall. I was too weak to care about my surrounding but I could hear Chīsai bark.
The doctor took out ropes and tied my hands and feet. My body was almost lifeless, the main reason why I didn't fight back when he tied me up.
"I will come back to release you later. But if I notice that you've escaped earlier. Then you will be punished" was his final words before leaving me me beaten up and bruised.
Chīsai ran to me and pulled my clothes. I of course didn't not move which made Chīsai bark in fear. I sat like that for a long while until someone entered my shelter.
"Shiori, is everything fine? Chīsai is constantly barking and it made me worried-" Yumi was baffled to see me in that state.
"Shiori!" She quickly ran over to me and tried to untie the ropes.
"No.. don't!" I said and she stopped the process.
"But you're injured!" She argued but I just shook my head.
"If you release me.. I will get in trouble again.." it even hurt to speak. I couldn't say too much without feeling like my throat was burning.
"Who did this to you?!" I didn't say anything for a moment. I looked up to her and realized that I could still see her pretty face clearly even with my right eye being blind.
"At least.. I can still see your beautiful face"
"You're eye! What happened to it?" I explained that my right eye got permanently blind. I didn't tell her detailed however. Like how I got blind in the first place.
"I'm going to get Aiko and Fumiko-"
"No don't!"
"We have to! Don't you see how badly hurt you are?!" Yumi started to sound like Aiko.
"Just untie me instead.." I rather keep up with Yumi than Aiko for the moment. I knew that Aiko would flip out if she saw me.
Yumi untied the rope and I was free. She hugged me tightly as I could hear her quietly cry for a moment. I tried to embrace her but my body still hurt every time I moved.
"Let me try to heal you-"
"No. Don't waste your chakra on me" I tried to endure the pain and stood up.
"Where are you going?" She asked and I said that I needed some air. I knew that the doctor always spent time in his laboratory, so he wouldn't find me being outside at the moment. When he wanted to get me then he always sends Harumiko to do it.
While we took a promenade around town, I always bumped in to things or stumble. People looked at me like if I was handicapped. I technically was but I hated their looks. I could take care of myself. I was just not used to have one functional eye at that moment.
When we walked through a small pedestrian street, we stumbled upon Katsuo hanging out with some of the popular guys. I thought them to be annoying so I tried to walk aside from were they walk, but when I did that, I accidentally bumped on a trash can and fell with it.
"Shiori!" I heard how the guys behind our back laughed at me.
"Haha what a numb head!" I heard Katsuo laugh and I became even more frustrated. It was sad. I thought he was a decent guy. He even talked to me and Hisashi and revealed that he had the biggest crush on Aiko. It made me angry to know he changed just to "impress" Aiko.
I grabbed some of the trash that had fell from the can, and threw it on Katsuo and landed the throw with a miracle.
"Hey! Are you asking for a beating?!" They ran towards us and I grabbed Yumi's arm and teleported us to the fries stand, saving both of our skins.
"I'm hungry" I said tiredly and order two fries. I got surprisingly much ryō on my last mission so I could treat myself and friends on fries.
"Why are you dirty Shiori? You must have trained very hard today!" The man selling fries always tried to be positive to me, I didn't really know why.
"Oh, who is your friend?" He asked with a smirk. I turned around to see a blushing Yumi.
"She is a kind friend of mine" I simply replied and payed the fries and got them in a box.
"It's a very pretty friend you have" he teased but I ignored it.
We sat us down on a bench near the fry stand and enjoyed the meal undisturbed.
"How come that you like fries a lot?" She asked, trying to start a friendly conversation.
"Hmm" I tried to recall why I even started to eat that certain food. I could only remember that I've eaten it as far as I can remember.
"I like it because it was probably one of the first food I've ever eaten" I responded and tried to keep eating.
I always felt weird around Yumi. It felt like I had a constant rush, mixed with nervousness. But I could also sense a feeling of calmness. It was just a mix of all kind of emotions but I tried to contain myself.
"Are you okey Shiori? You're eating very slowly?" She asked worriedly. I shrugged it off and proceeded to finish eat my fries. We left the area and it didn't take too long until I started to bump into things again. Yumi took grabbed my arm gently and started to guide me.
"Let me be your right eye" she gave me a bright smile and I regretted being so negative around her. She lived regularly without the help of her left eye but she still managed.
"Thank you Yumi.." you could see how her cheeks turned a red pinkish color. It was very cute.
We continued our stroll through the village and stumble upon Talia and Hitoshi.
"Oh look who's got a new friend!" Hitoshi seemed very angry, even if he tried to hide it with a "joke".
"Leave them alone, Hitoshi. Remember that we had to do something-"
"Calm down. I'm just talking to her! Hey Shiori, When you gonna hang out with us again? Me and Talia is going to the abandoned building to get some. Wanna join?" I looked back at Yumi who had a worried expression. She held my arm tightly and it made up my decision clear.
"I'll pass this time" I replied and we kept walking.
"Yeah, leave us like you left the rest of the orphanage! You piece of trash!" He yelled and I withdraw my tantō sword and throw at him but he simply dodged it by stepping to the side.
"Hitoshi don't-" Talia tried to warm him but he was already running towards my way.
I put my hand on Yumi's shoulder and teleported her somewhere else.
"Shiori!" When she disappeared, I got tackled by Hitoshi. I fell to the ground and he sat on me and punched me in the face repeatedly. I could also sense a golden chakra rushing towards our destination.
"That's enough Hitoshi!" Talia tried to stop him by pulling him but it didn't work.
"Let me beat her to a pulp!" I couldn't focus when he kept punching me so I grabbed his fist and quickly teleported to my sword. I fell to my knees and tried to catch my breath. I felt this adrenaline rush again. I also started to laugh maniacally while being almost breathless.
"What the hell is so funny? you're the one that should be laughed at! You're one with this wimpy bruises and stupid white eye!" He had turned around to face me.
"That you're going to die.." I dashed towards Hitoshi and tackled him extremely hard. He even coughed out blood. He flew pretty far but he managed to get balance again.
He made the monkey hand seal and started to spit out rocks with an extremely speed and force. It was the "rock gun technique"
As the rocks came closer and expanded, I destroyed them all by simply punching them to pieces.
He stopped spewing the rocks and made the snake hand seal. His whole body started to turn darker. He ran towards me and we clashed our fists. I could feel that his hand had hardened. I realized he had used the "earth spear" technique.
We could throw hard punches at each and endure it, as well as keep hitting each other. Blood was spilling and bruises was left on each other's bodies. He couldn't maintain the hardened form and started to get brutally damaged, he did not give up however. He just kept getting up and tried to punch me over and over again.
"Why won't you just die?!" I've had enough of him. Me and Hitoshi usually argued and fought each other in the past and it looked like nothing had changed. We could fight for the most unnecessary things, like someone has stolen the others persons things. Our last fight was about the same topic. Both Talia and Hitoshi wasn't too happy about me hanging out with Yumi. Hitoshi was the one who was even pissed at me. He yelled and ranted and he didn't even have good points for his argues. I guess that fueled my rage even more.
Hitoshi had an incredible stamina. It was thanks to his taijutsu training. He was very skilled at both earth techniques and taijutsu.
He backed away from me and took stance.
"Seven heaven breathing methods! First activation!" Hitoshi's eyes turned white and an yellow aura surrounded his body. He dashed to me and I noticed that his speed had been increased greatly. I didn't have time to block when he punched me in the gut, it also actually hurt. I flew backwards and hit the ground.
"You think you can defeat me because you got a power up?! Think again!" We could fight toe to toe with each other.
More and more people had gathered around us, most of them were the orphanage kids.
"Shiori!" I heard a voice from the crowd. It was a small squeaky voice, I could hear how shaky it also was. It was obvious it was little Gina who witnessed the fight. She must have been terrified to look at me with a discolored skin. Not only that but also see how insane I could become. I hated that I couldn't do anything about the situation. I could only be there and see what a monster I became.
I grabbed Hitoshi's face and slams his head on to the ground. He tried to resist by grabbing my wrist but to no avail. I turned my other free arm in to a sharp blade. I went for a stab in the temples but a rock hard fist hit me hard in the head so I fell back again.
I looked up to see Aiko who had used the "fist rock technique" so her right arm was covered with rocks. That jutsu was Akemi, Aiko's mother famous for. It was said she had successfully protected many people with that technique.
The crowd started to cheer for her, shouting her name as such. I didn't know that Aiko had been practicing earth techniques so I was very shocked to see her use her mother's famous jutsu.
"Shiori what happened to your eye? What happened to you at all?! Snapp out of this!" She said but I was just laughing at her.
"You know very well that this is me! This is the part of me that everyone is afraid of!" I yelled and laughed sinisterly.
"Then I turn you back to the Shiori that everyone respects!" I started to laugh even more. I laughed so much that I was almost out of breath. I also started to cough and cry. I wasn't sad, I was laughing because I thought everything in the scenario was fucked up. I was really going insane.
"Respect me? ME?! You might as well be crazy as me! But there can only be one shinobi maniac.. you have to- you have too... I will-" I couldn't bring myself to say that I wanted to kill Aiko. I could never do such a thing.
I stammered, trying to finish the sentence that my crazy self wanted to tell.
"I know Yumi is on her way here and I can't let her see you like this.. I'm sorry but I have to knock you out!" She ran towards me, ready to hit a punch on but I counter a hard punch back and destroyed the rock surrounding her fists Aiko looked terrified at how powerful I could be.
She quickly jumped back, making distance between us. I stood on all four and held hard on the ground. I charged up my chakra and the two nature elements to form my secondary kekkei genkai nature. I was about to launch a big blast and my mindless self didn't care about the destruction I would make. "I" tried to aim at Aiko but everything was blurry and spinning.
"Plasma style: plasma blast!" I a ball of plasma gathered in front of my gaping mouth, and it was about to fire. Before I could even blast someone, my head got dunked on to the ground.
"Mom!" My plasma orb dispersed and I could barely move away from the ground.
"Earth style: ground bedrock!" I heard Akemi's voice say and two rock walls appeared on the side and squashed me so It became even harder for me to get out. The Yamakage had jumped away from me before she also could get stuck between the rock walls.
"Mom please. Don't hurt her-" I fainted because of the lack of oxygen that the rock walls caused.
~~~
I woke up and noticed the ugly walls with the seals that makes me want to puke.
"Oh god no. Not here again..." I looked at the laser bars area and saw the doctor Atsushi stand in front of them.
"You escaped from the ropes, wandering around town like you own the place, goes berserk because of a silly arguments and not only that, you left the place earlier than you should and not only that, you exposed you're injuries and blindness!" He said and opened the cell.
"I- I couldn't stand being there for a long time! I needed air, I needed to breath!" I tried to explain as he approached me.
"No excuses" he grabbed my collar and threw me out of them cell. And hit the wall. He exited the room and proceeded to throw me around the place, and occasionally kicking my gut in the process.
"You worthless piece of meat! I knew I never should have applied to this job" he grabbed my right arm had twisted it roughly.
"Aaaaaaah!" He threw me over so I hit the ground.
"But those whole experiment is for the village. To protect it and grow. To become strong and independent! And everyone will at last fear us with our experimented weapon. And that is you!" He kicked me and even stomped me at time.
"You should know that disobeying me is not an option!" He grabbed my color again and pushed me against the wall. He kept abusing my body by beating it.
After the beating. He threw me back in to the cell. I felt even more lifeless than the last time. I cried, I just let my tears run from my eyes. I slowly grabbed my right arm and twisted it back in to place. It hurt badly but I had to do it.
~~~
I wasn't allowed to go home for three days. And when I came home, I got instantly a little wolf cub on my feet.
"Sisi! Sisi disappeared!"
"I'm sorry. I had to be with the doctor the past few days" I explained and Chisaī started to whimper. The cub was oblivious, but even she could tell that something was wrong with the doctor.
I spent some alone time before someone barged into my room.
"Shiori! Are you here?" I was surprised that is was Yumi who came in without even knocking.
"Yeah. I've already eaten so I don't need the lunch-" My sentence was cut of short because Yumi attacked me with a hug.
"I'm so glad your back!" I started to wonder if she hadn't heard of anything about the fight. She must have heard it somewhere because news like that gets spread very quickly.
"Why? Everyone else is probably happy that I disappeared" I replied and she looked confused at me.
"Why would you say something like that..?"
"Because it's true! Don't you know what happened?!" Her face turned in to a sad expression.
"I do. But everyone should have forgot everything, right?"
"Yeah. Everyone can totally forget how the villages scum tried to kill their princess!" Her eyes widened at me. She almost looked terrified.
"I th-thought it wasn't true.. that you wanted to kill Aiko" well deep down, I don't want to hurt Aiko at all. But everything that happened in the past are too hard for me to even be kind to the blond haired girl. Even after all the time I rejected her friendship, she kept standing there with open arms. And the megalomaniac side of me didn't make it any better. That certain side of me that just wanted everything dead.
"It is true. All of those rumors was true"
"B-but Aiko said they're weren't-"
"Then she lied" I simply said to Yumi and she started to cry. We just stood there in the middle of the shelter. I just stared at her while she cried. I didn't try to hug her or anything. She needed to know the bad side of me.
"No. It can't be. She would never lie-"
"Aiko lied! I'm a monster Yumi! I just wanted anyone dead at that moment!" I yelled, trying to convince her.
"No you're not! You're not a monster! If you actually are a monster, then... then I should be dead now? Right?" She looked up to me with a smile, but also with tears in her eyes. I didn't say anything as a response. I just kept looking at her.
"I know there are many people that doesn't look brightly at you. But there are people that also don't mind you at all, they even respect you!" Yumi said and held my hands.
"Do.. you want to do me a favor?"
"Hm?"
"Follow me to the orphanage"
~~~
I never thought I would go to that place willingly. But Yumi's words made me think. I wanted to do something different so I didn't sit around depressed.
We entered the building and we was greeted with someone shouting over the building.
"Get away you losers!" It was a little boy that made the havoc. You could make out the sound of running steps and furnitures being roughly moved.
"I guess there's someone new?" Said Yumi who held my hand. She led me through the building, searching for the boy.
"Do we need to find him? He is probably gonna be a bother.."
"Shiori. Didn't you say you wanted to do something different when we walked earlier? This is your chance" she argued and I couldn't really argue back.
"Haha you can't get me you old ladies!" A small boy ran past us with the speed of light.
"So fast for being so young!" Commented Yumi and we followed the direction of the running boy. After running around the orphanage, we stumble upon the chaotic boy who ran away from from some nurses.
I stretched out my foot and made the boy trip. I could examined the boy better. He was almost bald headed and looked like to be 7 years old.
"What was that for?! You stupid!" He yelled and pointed at me.
"Yumi? What are you doing here?" Asked one of the nurses.
"I'm visiting to see how the kids are doing. We take care of this trouble maker" explained Yumi but the nurses looked suspicious at me.
"Can we trust her?" The nurses questioned and Yumi turned to look at me.
"Yeah. She is trustworthy" she gave me a smile and turned back to the nurses who nodded at her and left us with the small boy.
"Who do you think you are!"
"I would ask you the same thing" the kid started to lose his patience.
"Don't act you're something! I could beat you any time!"
"I'm like 8 years older than you-"
"I've beaten an adult until he cried like a baby!" He kept on bragging things that was unbelievable.
"You really want to you fight me?"
"Yeah I'm gonna beat you!" Yumi looked at me worriedly, like if I would actually hurt the little kid. I reassured her that I wouldn't go all out on the boy and then teleported us to the training grounds.
"Where are we?" Asked the 7 year old.
"This is called a training ground. People goes to this place to hone their skills as shinobi" explained Yumi, as we realized that the little boy rather listened to her than me.
"So we're going to fight here or what?" I walked over to the other side of the sparring field.
"Alright but I'm not going lose to this lazy looking ass!" He taunted.
"Don't be rude. She was the one who teleported us after all" she stated and then the little boy looked at me shockingly, and confused.
"Her? I don't believe that! I'm gonna prove that by beating her" he rushed straight forwards me. He was very fast but I could still block his punches and kicks. He realized that keeping on like that wouldn't work so he backed away.
He crossed his index and middle fingers in to a cross.
"Shadow clone jutsu!" Four more replicas of him appeared. I had some knowledge about the technique as the Yamakage used it a few times. He used the same tactic to just repeatedly punch and kick me with all of the clones. I could still block all of them. One of the clone tried to do a right hook in my face but I caught his fist with my hand and marked him with my seal before throwing him in to another clone and both disappeared.
The three remaining tried to attack me at the same time, hoping that I wouldn't have time to protect me from all of them, but I could. Two tried to attack me from the side while the other one tried in front. The only thing I had to do was to step backwards right before they would hit me. As I did that, they all hit each other instead. Two of them disappeared and then there was only one left.
"I'm not done yet!" He said while standing up. He took out a kunai from his pocket and chakra started surround it in a bursting manner around the sharp edge of the weapon. The chakra started to turn into a whirlwind around the kunai, making it looking more like a sword. I was impressed that he had knowledge about chakra nature in his age. I withdraw my blade and dashed forward him to engage in a some kind of sword battle.
The kid actually could counter my attacks, which started to make me a little annoyed. While fighting him. I noticed that his kunai was very worn out. With enough force, I could cut the kunai in half. The blade of the kunai fell to the ground and it was only the handle that was left in the small kids hand.
"Are you done now?" I asked him. It took a while before he even moved.
"N-no! I'm not giving up yet!" He threw the handle away and then picked up the blade instead. He pointed it at me with a smile.
"I told you. I won't give up to someone like you!" I could see that there were a few blood drops falling from his hand. He could still emit wind chakra around the blade but it looked more like a dagger that time.
It wasn't hard fighting him with his broken kunai. I only had to block a couple of times and then kick his wrist so he dropped the blade. Then I put my sword close to his throat.
"I win" I said and put my tantō sword in the hilt which was strapped around my waist, while I walk towards Yumi
"Dammit! I still don't believe that you teleported-" I was almost beside Yumi but I took my time and teleported so I was in front of the boy.
"H-how do you do that?!" I pointed at his hand. He started to examine it and realized he had a small seal on his middle finger.
"That seal lets me teleport to whatever person or object that has that seal" I explained and he immediately started to ask me if I could teach him it but I said no.
"Why not?!"
"It's a complicated jutsu-"
"I can learn it anyways! I know the jutsu in no time!" His confidence was annoying, but I didn't mind him too much.
"Let's go back for now" I said and I teleported us to the orphanage again.
"What is your name by the way?" Asked Yumi.
"My name is Isamu!" He ran in to the building and we returned to go back to our places.
"Take care Shiori. I'll see you soon" we went our separate ways. I looked up and saw how late it had become. I went straight home and went to sleep.
~~~
In the middle of the night, I felt an uneasy feeling. It felt like winter had to decide to appear in the middle of the summer for no reason. I woke up and saw a man with the same mask as always.
"You again?!"
"Hello Shiori. I'm here to ask you-"
"I'm not joining you! I said immediately and he went quiet for a second.
"I can train you. I can make you stronger in a better way than that doctor that seems to have failed your right eye" he said and pointed at the blind eye.
"I rather keep up and suffer with doctor Atsushi than going with a creep like you" I retorted but he just laughed.
"One day, you will follow my steps" he said and disappeared with the wind. As fast as he disappeared, the Yamakage busted in to my home. She was exhausted. She started to examine my shelter and then looked at me worriedly.
"Shiori. Was there a mysterious man in here?" She asked and I lied to her.
"No. I just heard you running in here"
"Hmm... I was so sure I felt his chakra.. oh well, I'm gonna patrol around the village. I'm sorry for disturbing you-"
"I'm the one who should say sorry.." I said quickly and she looked confusedly at me.
"I- I tried to kill Aiko" Akemi sighed and sat beside me on the mattress.
"I already know that you didn't mean it. It's your kekkei genkai messes with your mind. I know that you wouldn't hurt her with purpose" she reassured.
"I need to go back to my duties. But have a nice sleep" she left me and I could go back to sleep without any stress.
