Chapter 5
Saiji watched as Umi cried. His eyes softened for a moment and only for a moment. Umi looked up at him and felt sick to her stomach. The pictures of 'her' where scaring her. Was he some sick psychopath that watched her all time she was in Cephiro? Did he stalk her at one point or what? Umi then filled with rage. How could he say he loves me? She thought in anger. He doesn't even know me let alone care that I love Ascot. She then noticed Saiji was fiddling with one of the pictures. The girl who she thought was her was wearing a long blue skirt that was cut at the thigh and a tube top with sleeves that tied to her arms.
"Are you hunger my sweet?" asked Saiji. Umi screwed up her face to make herself look even anger. "NO!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. Saiji didn't even flinch. He rubbed the picture with his thumb as though he was trying to stroke the hair of the girl. "Are you cold my pet?" he asked. Umi was about to shout when she realized he wasn't even facing her, nor his eyes ever leaving the picture. She swallowed hard and then said, "I'm thirsty." She said it in a calm sweet tone. Saiji placed the picture down. He then turned around and stalked to the door but before he left he said, "A servant will attend to you needs." He then left closing the door softly behind him.
When he was gone Umi looked at the pictures of the girl. She noticed the girl was rather thinner and paler then she was. These differences were what made Umi believe this was not she. It also led her to believe that Saiji was really not in love with her but in love with someone else. that looked similar to her. Just then the door slid open and a young boy about 13 or 14 entered the room carrying a pitcher. The boy had shaggy dirty blond hair that reached over his eyes. "Hello." He said. "Would you care for a drink?" she asked. The boy placed it on a small table and then looked over at Umi. He looked up at her and then circled around her. "Hey what are you doing?" Umi said gently. "Nothing its just that you look a lot like her." He said pointing to the picture. "No wonder Lord Saiji wanted you as his bride." Her eyes widened and she shook her head and stamped her foot. "I'M NOT GOING TO MARRY HIM!" she shouted. The boy shrugged. "Where are we? Where are my friends? Who are you? Who is that girl and why does she look a lot like me?" Umi said rapidly flooding the boy with questions.
"WOAH! HOLD ON I CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND YOU!" he said holding up his hands. He then raised his hands and lowered them in attempt to calm Umi down. He then took a breath and said, "Okay first off I'm Marcus, you are on Silicon, and that's all I know." Umi let out a groan. "What about my friends?" she asked. "I'm sorry I do not serve Lord Eri or Lord Kenzi." he replied pouring a glass of water. He then handed it to Umi but she was reluctant to drink it. "Its mineral water, good for you." He said. Umi sniffed it to make sure it wasn't bad and then sipped it quickly. Marcus sighed and then bowed his head. "Anything else?" he questioned. Umi finished her water and then placed the glass down. "Can you find where my friends are?" she asked. Marcus coughed and then shook his head. "I can't leave my Lord's part of the castle. I'm trapped her as a prisoner just like you." He then turned away and picked up the pitcher and glass. "If you hunger or anything just call for me in the intercom by the door." he said as he opened the door and closed it behind him.
Umi slumped down into a squishy red armchair and sighed. Things couldn't have gotten worse. She was lost, her friends gone and above all Ascot was trapped.
Several hours later Umi who was pacing back and forth in the room saw the door slide open and Marcus come in with a tray of food. On the tray was a small bowl of rice and small pieces of fish. On the side was a cup of tea. "Here is your dinner." Said Marcus. Umi blinked. "THIS IS IT?" she shouted. "This is hardly an appetizer." Marcus shrugged. "Lord Saiji thinks your diet of food in take should be less. He wants you to be perfect." The boy said with not much care. "I just follow orders. Oh and tomorrow would you prefer salad or fruit for breakfast and lunch?" Umi glared at him. Only eating stuff like that and in small portions would starve her. "Fruit." She said finally. "Um can you turn some more lights on its really dark in here." Marcus shook his head. "No you need a dim light your skin is too dark." He replied leaving the room. Umi blinked.
She then realized what was happened. Saiji was trying to thin her up and make her skin lighter so she'd look just like him. Umi growled and then through the tray across the room and it smashed against the wall. She then screamed at the top of lungs saying, "SAIJI!" There was no response. Umi's anger flared. She then grabbed a picture frame and smashed it against the ground and shredded the picture of the girl. "SAIJI! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME! I'M NO SOME PUPPET! I WON'T BECOME YOUR BRIDE OR LIKE THAT BITCH IN THE PICTURES! SHE'S NOT ME!" Just then the door slid open and Ascot's body walked in. Umi glared at him.
Saiji looked across the room and noticed the mess but more importantly was the picture. He knelt down and looked at the shattered fragments and the shredded picture. Umi looked down at him and then all of the sudden she found herself on the floor clutching her cheek.
"You little twit!" he said. "If you wish to ever see your friends again you better strait up! Unless you also want to see Ascot die as well!" he then spun around and headed for the door. "Oh. and clean this place up you." he trailed off and left. Umi touched her cheek and then felt as though she could burst out crying.
It was around midnight and Umi was laying on the bed her eyes full of tears. Why do I feel so helpless? She thought. Why can't I help my friends out? She looked out the window and saw that there was no stars or moon in the sky. She bit her lip and felt her entire body go cold. She felt a cold breath against her neck. She shivered and felt a pair of cold hands on her shoulders and then lips on her neck. Umi moved away and saw Ascot. "Saiji!" she said in shock that she didn't hear him come in. He blinked. "Please. let me go. I'm not this girl!" she said. He stood up and towered over her. "You can be . and you will!" he then kissed her long and full lips. Umi pushed him away.
"Oh Orisa!" he shouted. He's crazy. he thinks I'm that girl! Umi thought as she saw Saiji coming near her. Umi screamed as he grabbed her by the wrists and held her tightly. She tried her hardest to kick him and get away but he forced her to the bed and pinned her there. Umi's mind raced in fear. Oh god no someone help me please! She thought. Then she screamed once again. Just then the lights turned on and Marcus ran to the bed. "Lord Saiji!" he shouted. "LORD SAIJI! STOP YOUR HURTING HER!" Saiji's gripped loosened and he looked over at Marcus. Umi freed one of her hands and grabbed another picture frame off the nightstand and hit Saiji hard. Saiji got up and his eyes filled with anger. Umi held the picture off the girl in front of her to block and oncoming attacks but none happened. She opened her eyes and saw Saiji on his hands and knees. "Orisa. my Orisa. I'm sorry I didn't mean to." He said begging for forgiveness.
"Saiji." Umi said. "I love you Orisa I love you I love you!" he repeated over and over. Umi looked at Marcus who was staring at Saiji. "My lord Lady Umi is alright." Said Marcus. Saiji looked up and his passionate eyes turned to normal cruel. He breathed. "Marcus get a broom and clean this up!" he said. Marcus bowed and left the room. Saiji then looked over at Umi. He straitened himself out and then turned. "Good night." He said. Umi blinked and then walked toward him saying, "HOLD ON!" He stopped. "Who is Orisa!" she demanded to know. Saiji turned to her and said darkly, "Who do you think?" Umi gulped. "Well then I want to know why you thought I was here when clearly I'm not and why you almost. did what you did!" she said. Saiji took a deep breath and turned slowly around. "Fine. I'll tell you."
