Note: Sorry it's taking so long. I just don't know what should happen next. This one is kind of short though. After this the next one should come pretty quick.

Chapter 4: Ocean View

Kaoru awoke to burning wood the next morning. She looked around as she sat up. She was sitting on a small bed in the corner of a very large room. A fireplace took up the whole wall across from her. There was a small desk to her left and a large, black cupboard to her right with a large window next to it. She stood up and walked to the window and saw large metal bars crisscrossing.

"Shit," she thought as she was hoping she would be able to escape. Then, she noticed the view. Kaoru gasped. A beautiful view of the ocean shone beneath her. The sunset shone over the ocean like a million diamonds.

"W...where am I?" she mumbled as she stared out the window.

"My home," said a voice behind her. She quickly turned around to see a man standing by a latter underneath a large hole in the ceiling.

"W...who are you?" she managed. He wore a long white lab coat with a grey shirt and pants underneath. He had golden white hair and cold black eyes. Just looking at him sent shivers down Kaoru's spine.

"I am Dr. Satrin. My master has brought you here."

"Why do you need me?" she asked as she sat down on the window seat.

"You're our bait. My master wants the Battousai. After he come and my master kills him, he'll have no more use for you and will probably dispose of you as well," Dr. Satrin said, smiling evilly.

"No...W..who is your master?"

"Master Heay. The new master of our world. Goodnight princess. Goodnight." And with that, Dr. Satrin climbed up the latter, pulled it up behind him, and closed the trap door, all while Kaoru wept.
