Chapter Three: The Practices
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------~*~*~
Rikai stumbled back to her room. She found all the handmaidens waiting for her and she suddenly had a huge headache. She sat down on the bed and rubbed her temples. The sun was setting and the golden oil lamps were burning brightly. After all of the maidens had fallen asleep Rikai, Harry, Ron, and Draco stood and began to talk about the portal.
"I thought that I had all the bugs worked out but it just refuses to work. I don't have anytime to try and fix it tomorrow. I have practice." She mumbled to herself. Draco growled softly. Rikai looked over at him and frowned. "What's wrong with you?" She asked.
"You know you should just accept your fate. You've gotten us all stuck here and you're worried about saving yourself. Do you even realize that if we don't get out of here that those beasts are going to man handle me!?!" Draco hissed. Ron rolled his eyes.
"Not everything is about you Draco. We're all here and we all need to escape." Ron spat. Draco and Ron stood to take one another on. Harry jumped up and settled them both down.
"Why don't you just explain to me how the system works and that way I can work on it while you practice?"
"The thing is, Harry, you all have to practice with me." She said barely above a whisper. Draco, Harry, and Ron's jaws dropped.
"What are you talking about!" Draco shouted. Rikai placed her hand on his mouth. Ron and Harry were glaring at her too.
"Father wants me and my maidens to put on a show for my future husband. I have been practice that art of flame for months as my father thought it would be necessary to entertain my husband."
"What is the art of flame?" Harry asked cautiously. Rikai frowned.
"Basically, you light stuff on fire and swing it around close to your body." Rikai voiced. She immediately wished she hadn't.
"You mean I have to swing things that are on fire close to my body? I could catch fire. I could die." Ron said in a tone just an octave higher than usual. Harry frowned at her.
"Your father is insane, you do realize that don't you?"
"My father was a great war hero. He fought for our country and I don't expect you to realize something like that. I don't suppose you know what it's like to face a deranged killer."
"This is Harry Potter. The boy who survived." Draco and Ron said together. Harry blushed unintentionally. Rikai huffed angrily.
"And your point is?"
"He is better than your father ever will be." Draco spat. Rikai stared at the three. She turned her head and refused to look at them.
"That is an insult that is punishable by death." She said softly. Draco and Ron tensed up and stared at her. "But I care not what you think. I will send you all away and then you will never have to put up with me again. Goodnight." She crawled over to her bed and immediately went to sleep.
"Proud little whelp isn't she?" Draco asked. Ron nodded. Harry just frowned and they all went to sleep.
The next morning things were intense between the four. Ron and Draco refused to speak with Rikai and Rikai refused to speak with them. This went on for three hours until the practice started. All the maidens stood back and watched Rikai as she lit the ends of two chains on fire. There was music coming from a band.
Rikai sat on her knees and started to spin the fire chains at her sides. None of the boys were very impressed, that suddenly changed when Rikai jumped off the floor and did a back flip. She spun the chains dangerously close to her body. Harry about jumped to help when she leaned back and spun the fire chains to where they were just grazing her skin. Draco leaned over to Harry and stared at Rikai.
"Is it just me or is fire really hot."
"Fire is always hot." Harry deduced quickly.
"I don't mean temperature wise stupid." Draco snapped. Harry blushed and nodded. Ron was completely tensed up as he watched the fire float dangerously close to Rikai's hair.
"She must be mad. I can't do that." Ron whined. All three of the young men winced as one of the chains his Rikai's legs. You could see in her face that it hurt but she continued on. As soon as she finished she sat on the ground. She was sweating terribly and though none of the maidens noticed, the three young men could visibly see the burnt cut.
Rikai set to work making them all practice spinning the unlit chains out in front of them. The chains were quite heavy as Draco soon learned. He had an amazingly hard time trying to spin the in front of him. Every time he dropped a chain he did push ups. Ron and Harry did slightly better but not by much. Ron's chains kept spinning out of control as did Harry's. The heavy chains hit against their body and they would scream in pain.
Three hours later and covered in bruises; Harry, Ron, and Draco were leaving the room to go take a shower when three guards stopped them. Rikai had already gone ahead with all the other maidens. One of the guards put his hand on Ron's shoulder. Ron tried to move but found he was too tired to do that. Harry tried to force his way past the guards but quickly found that he was taken up into the arms of one. Draco turned to run but the third guard caught him. All three of the young men were being led to the ultimate night. A night they would soon rather forget.
~*~*~
Rikai sat in the bath letting the rising steam float relax her tensed and stressed body. She had a strange gut feeling and she looked around the room. Harry, Ron, and Draco had gone. She thought they had been behind her when she left the room. She gasped and stood up.
"Where are Tsuchi, Ame, and Yuki?" She shouted. No one knew. She grabbed her clothes and quickly dressed.
~*~*~
Harry and Draco had been rescued but way too late. The guards were about to have their way as Rikai came in. The guards and Harry and Draco were naked when she stormed in. She was furious. She fired the two men and sent Harry and Draco to her own quarters. She desperately searched for Ron. She silently prayed to God that Ron hadn't-
She entered a room and gasped.
~*~*~
I know a sad and gross chapter. It has to be done. I'm sorry and hope none of you are going to hate me for this. Flame me if you feel it be necessary. Login when you flame because I am way too mature to play review tag. I just want to see who has enough balls to flame me without fear.
