You hopped from building to building until you reached the outskirts of the town, then you started to walk. You looked at your hand and read the address you had written on it. You looked up and saw your destination. It was a big mansion that had a really big fence. You jump the fence and sneak through the courtyard. You sense the roses presence and the second floor. When you get next to the house, you climb a tree and look through the window.
"There!" you thought as you notice the crystal. It was sitting there like it was just a decoration. "Something's wrong here..." you think.
You cautiously open the window with some shielded spirit magic and jump through the window. You notice that no one in the room. You observe the room harder just to make sure. The walls were a forest green with wallpaper vines bordering the top. The floor was an earthy brown. The bed had red sheets and a forest green comforter
"Whoever lives here must like plants," you thought.
You snapped back to attention when you heard footsteps coming toward the room. "Oh shit!" you muttered. You ran and grabbed the Hikari Rose, only to stop again. "OMG" you thought. "The rose is white. That means someone already used it."
Suddenly the door opened to reveal two boys. One was about 5'8 with long red hair and bright emerald green eyes. The other one was about 5'5 with black hair that looked like it had too much gel in it and brown eyes. (HA! I bet you thought is was going to be Hiei.)
Gel-Head (that's what you dubbed him) yelled and said, "Who the hell are you?"
You knew the boss would kill you for getting caught. "I have to get out of here." You thought. Then an idea hit you.
"Sister Night heed my cry, Shield me from the naked eye," you whispered. Suddenly the room filled with a black haze and the boys couldn't see you. You grab the Hikari Rose, open up a portal with you portal opener, and jump in. (me: yes you have a portal opener.) You glumly entered a room and saw Yiska sitting in a chair reading.
He looked up at you and asked, "Did, you get the Hikari Rose, Bliss?"
You replied sourly, "The name's Shinu, and yes."
"Good." He said, "Bring it to me." You didn't move. "BRING IT TO ME!" he screams at you. You started to tremble. He smiled at you fear; "Your emotions will lead you to your doom, Shinu," he said. "Now be a good girl and hand me the Hikari Rose. If you don't then I suppose I'll just have to throw you in the nightmare room." (Note: the nightmare room is a room where your worst fears come true)
Your already trembling body turned ghostly white. You slowly walk up to him and hand him the rose. He smiled and looked down at the rose. Suddenly his smile turned into a frown. "Idiot girl!" He yelled. "This is not the Hikari Rose!"
"Yes it is Master," you said in a meek voice.
"Explain yourself, Shinu," he said in a deadfully calm voice.
You shuddered and replied "The Hikari Rose only turns white when it has been used." You paused a minuet and then continued. "After it has been used it's utterly worthless".
This strikes a nerve. Yiska lunges at you. He punches you hard in the gut and keeps on hitting you until he calms down. You had learned long ago not to fight back.
When Yiska had calmed down and saw what he did to you, he smirked and said, "For not fighting back, I'll allow you to go see the healer, Yuri. Tell her I sent you and that when you come back, there better not be a single scratch on you."
You painfully nodded and slowly got up. You started to head for the door when Yiska called out to you. You slowly turned around and looked at him.
Yiska sneered and said, "When you return, Shinu, we will discuss our little problem." And with that he left.
When you were sure he was gone you slowly limped the healer Yuri. (Note: Yuri is the only person who has ever shown you any kindness. She has Red eyes and waist length baby blue hair. She is 5'4 and is about 55 years old. She is also your best and only friend.) When you got to her room (another note: I know I haven't mentioned this before, but you live in an underground cave. It's really big though so it's more like an underground community of thieves.) that Yuri lived in you relaxed. You saw Yuri cooking up some herds. You cleared you throat.
Yuri looked up gasped and said, "What the hell happened to you?"
You were about to reply when she graded you and dragged you into another room. The room was simple with nothing but a tin tub and some shelves filled with remedies (Me: The healing room if you couldn't guess). She immediately began to fill the tub with steaming water and some remedies. As Yuri was doing this, you began to take off you ripped and bloody clothes. When the tub was filled and you where undress, you got into the tub. While you were soaking Yuri was cleaned your wounds.
As she finished up your wounds you heard her mutter, "I wish you would just fight back."
Flashback
You were about 11 and outside practicing some moves with your staff, when suddenly Yiska came up to you. He seemed to be in a really rotten mood. He glared at you with hateful red eyes and, to your surprise, punched you, hard. He kept on beating you until you got so mad you hit him back. He stopped, gave you a death glare, and said in a deadfully calm voice, "The first rule, Shinu, of playing Master and slave is that the slave never fights back." Then he screamed, "AND THAT'S WHAT I INTEND FOR YOU TO DO!" From that day on you never fought anyone back unless it was in training or you were doing a mission.
End Flashback
You sighed sadly and got out of the tub. You found a big fluffy towel on a small shelf and wrapped it around you. You wandered around until you found yourself in Yuri's bedroom. You sat down at her vanity and stared at you reflection. You were in your night form since you were forbidden to use your other forms unless were training or engaged in battle. You pick up one of Yuri's combs and started to brush your short midnight blue hair. Suddenly Yuri appeared behind you with some new clothes (Me: You were still in just a towel). She set them on her bed and walked up behind you. She took the comb from you a started to brush you hair herself.
When she was done she said in a cheerful voice, "There you go. Nice and smooth. Now hurry up and change so you don't keep Yiska waiting."
You nodded and grabbed the outfit. You quickly changed, hugged Yuri, and ran off to see Yiska.
