"The girls are pretty silent in our presence since a few weeks... that's unusual..." Kabuto stated. "What's wrong with them?"
"I don't know." Orochimaru replied. "But I'm almost sure it has something to do with Kuraiko overhearing our plans. Maybe you should talk to them, you're like a brother to them, so maybe they'll trust you."
"You think so? Well, I'll try my best as soon as I'm finished here." The younger man said, continuing his work on the corpse from the latest experiment.
After training which they did on their own this time, the girls went to their room falling into their beds being pretty exhausted.
"And you're sure you heard that right? I just can't imagine he'd do something like that to us." Sarana asked. She wasn't sure if she should believe Kuraiko. Maybe it was only another wild thought of her fantasy.
"Yes, absolutely! I heard it and unfortunately he sensed me before they ended their conversation. He even tried to silence me."
"Really, how?" Keiko was suddenly very interested.
"He... At first he threatened me and then he... he..." Kuraiko took a deep breath. "He kissed me and told me that there would be more he could do to me if I wanted him to." She turned red. It was more embarrassing for her to talk about it than she thought.
"Awkward!" Keiko giggled. Sarana laughed, too. "But let's be serious again... Sarana's right. What if you understood something wrong? MAybe he didn't mean it like that."
"But I'm sure he did, I've been the-"
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Can I come in?" Kabuto asked from the other side of the door.
"O-Of course." Keiko answered him. Kabuto did as told.
"I just wanted to know if there is something wrong with you. Orochimaru-sama... No, I'm worried. You are so quiet since a few weeks. What'S the matter?"
"Yes, we know that and we're really sorry, but we want to get stronger, so we train every day and it's so exhausting that we don't have enough energy to talk much or discuss things. Sarana explained. The other two agreed.
"You're sure everything's alright?"
"Yep." Keiko stated.
"Well, then... Rest... and don'T exaggerate with your training, that's unhealthy."
"Alright."
"Could you get something out of them?" Orochimaru wanted to know as Kabuto came back.
"No, but I'm afraid Kuraiko might have told them everything. We have to keep an eye on them."
"Understood. Give the guards the command to not let them go outside or send messages. We can't lose them, that would be a shame."
"As you wish."
Hi guys!
Unfortunately, I won't be able to upload a new chapter until the end of next week, because my sister is going to move out of her current flat and I'm going to help her with that, just to inform you.
Remember that english isn't my mother language, so please tell me if I've made a mistake so I can correct it!
See ya!
