Chapter Five

(Leiko)

I was so relived to be with Drake and to know that he was okay; it eased my fears to have him right there with me his arm about my waist. His warmth radiated from his body into mine, sighing in contentment I placed both my hands over his and lightly traced designs on the back of his hand. On the way up to the next level we ran into some guards and the short flame haired man fried them with a ball of blue and black fire sniffing about how weak they were. When we reached the top of the stairs Wainani held her hand out in front of her mouth palm up and blew on it sending a glittery cloud over to the guards that enveloped them.

"They're asleep, you may kill them if you want, but if not they will sleep for three years." Wainani smiled. Shaking my head I disentangled myself from Drake and walked up to the first door and placed my hands over the lock closing my eyes letting my energy flowing over it then nudged it open with my toe and moved on to the next one.

"What did you do?" I looked and saw the black haired brown-eyed human male standing next to me.

"I'm aging the metal, watch," I walked over to the next door and held my hands out letting my energy flow out with him watching as the metal decayed and started to fall apart. "Now you push," I nudged the door and it creaked open. "Easy." Drake sauntered back over to me and drew me back into the safe circle of his arms bending down to blow air in my ear and watch me shiver.

"This is the last dungeon level," Nishi said to the man with black spiky hair that went in all directions.

"Where would Akiko be in the palace?" Sayo demanded of Nishi.

"She would be on the third floor," Nishi replied. "Is everyone out?"

"Yup," the ugly carrot top reported.

"Good, let's hear your names," Nishi looked at them.

"Myrna," she had blue eyes and long light brown/blond hair, her skin was light blue and she seemed very meek.

"Harmony," her voice was enchanting and her light green hair looked soft as did her spring green eyes.

"Dakarai," he had a deep voice with golden brown eyes and short dark blue hair and he reminded me of a dragon ready to attack with his huge muscles.

"Lada," her tone was one of deep sadness, which was affirmed by her sorrow filled blue eyes, and her blue hair fell into her face.

"Kona," she looked to be pure evil with six arms coming out of her back and two coming off her shoulders her short light brown hair got into her sky blue eyes as she grinned maliciously. Plus the horns coming out of the top of her head kinda tipped her off.

"Anchali," his compelling purple eyes were filled with wisdom and his straight black hair was cut short giving him an elfish appearance.

"Robyn," another girl her eyes were a rich pink and her hair was black.

"Flaminio," he had blue hair and black eyes, he was rather small but you could tell he could take care of himself.

"Firas," he grinned his reddish brown hair spiked straight up in no known order with eyes that started yellow at the pupil and faded into green

"Ara," her long green hair fell down past her shaking knees and her brown eyes gleamed with anticipation.

"Ena," she was laying on the ground with waist length orange red hair with black eyes her light green skin glowed.

"Hara," she had dark blue hair that seemed to defy gravity as it spiked upwards and her light green eyes sparkled with an unknown pleasure. Her white arms ended in bird-like claws and her arms had purple wings growing out of them.

"Haru," her arms were the same as Hara's except her wings were a lighter purple, her eyes were the same shade of green and her hair was a light shade of magenta pink.

"Harpreet," her wings were green and her eyes were the same green as the other two, her hair was orange.

"Hari," he had white eyes with no pupils or irises, his black hair spiked out to one side and red and black wings sprouted from his back. It looked like a red mask covered the top half of his face but it was his skin, the rest of him was a deep tawny colored.

"Greenwood," his pointed ears jutted out from under his olive green hair and his red eyes glowed, looking down I noticed his hands were the same texture and color of a tree's bark.

"Déja," she had purplish blue hair and eyes with blue-green wings.

"Cedrick," he had rather long blond hair and golden brown eyes, underneath his eyes were some symbols in Nakari.

"Neo," he had blond hair and green eyes with no pupils.

"Okay Orino, send them to Koenma," the other spiky black haired man ordered to the girl with orange colored hair that had streaks of green shooting through it at random points.

"Of course," she nodded and turned to the newly released prisoners. "Please get together so that I may send you to Spirit World." They complied and she sent them away to Koenma in the same fashion as she had the others.

"Now tell me, what do you know." Lucifer was back from washing up, his hair was perfectly manicured. I replied with nothing because I was sure if I opened my mouth I would spill out not only what he wanted but also everything I knew which would hurt more than just one person. Exhaustion beat at me making every part of me feel ten times heavier than they were in addition to the fact there was not a part of my body that had not been submitted to some form of torture.

"Oh, trying to play the mute card! Well it won't work!" He grabbed me by the hair and yanked me up so we were face to face, his breath was rancid it took all I had to not blow chunks.

"Ev'n if I knew somethin, wouldn't tell you," I slurred through my sleep-deprived haze and slowly my eyes began to close. "You'll nevah break me."

"Think again!" He jabbed a needle into my arm and I sleepily wondered what he was putting in my system now, it hardly mattered, most likely poison. Then as my fatigue began to recede I knew what he had given me and I began to silently curse him in the many languages I knew. I was a Dream Apparition and sleep was what revitalized me more than anything, it was what helped me through it all, gave me power and he was taking it away yet again. "Now, we'll start easy, what is your name?" A sort of depressed resentment began to build in me and I stared up at him dully, anger somewhere deep inside of me beginning to stir.

"I'm sorry but my lawyer told me-" I started sarcastically wanting to see what he would do. He brought his knee up firmly connected with my abdomen forcing the air from my body and cracking or breaking my already damaged ribs.

"Who is your mother?" He shook me by my hair and pain shot through my scalp.

"Go f-" I was sharply flung across the room and hit the wall with a loud thud before I could finish my sentence.

"Who is your father?" He loomed over me a scowl on his face twisting it into an even more grotesque mask of fury.

"Why don-" he grabbed me and I screamed in agony for the second part of the serum was taking effect. What it did was it heightened my sense of pain so much that anything that so much as brushed my skin caused unimaginable pain so when someone grabbed you it was a hundred times worse.

"That's right scream bitch!" He bellowed right into my face, "Beg for mercy!" He slammed me against the wall causing so much pain I nearly passed out, "Tell me what the old man said!!!" I was thrown onto the hard stone floor before he slammed one of his booted feet into my abdomen pinning me to the ground forcing a cry of excruciating agony past my lips. Nothing could compare to this nightmare I was going through, every time something new, something different.

"Since you still insist on being stupid and silent," he hauled me up and backhanded me his ring cutting deep into my cheek. "I guess I'll have to beat it out of you!"

"It didn't work last time, what makes you think it'll work this time!?" I growled my throat aching from the stress of holding back all my screams as I spat blood into his face.

"The fact that you're weakening," he grinned trailing a long sharp nail over my other cheek enjoying the pain that made me blanch and whimper. "It took a whole month and a half of inventive torture to get you to swear at me and even that was in a different language, but now you're speaking to me in English, you. are. weakening. Now….what…do…you…know?!" He dropped me to the floor and buried his foot into me as he leaned against the wall. Wheezing my lungs grabbed for air as I lay there in a bloody beaten mess wondering if it would ever end. He drew his foot back one last time and let it fly right at my head everything went black on impact.

Rolling over I moaned as my wounds both new and old made themselves known to me, opening my eyes I saw nothing but blackness and I knew where I was. Curling up into a ball I barely realized that I was no longer wearing anything, that they had stripped me of my clothes leaving me more vulnerable than ever. Leaning my head on my knees I steeled myself for yet another round of mental torture created by myself for when one is alone one cannot help but question oneself. Closing my eyes I tried to block out any and everything including myself.
