"…Child… What a pretty little child…" The voice beckons you. "Such a shame… Someone this young… But you don't have a choice. You aRE MINE."
Your surroundings came into a blurry view. You no longer feel the pain, but something is buzzing inside you. You can hear your boss yelling at you, but he sounds so distant. He's telling you to kill the Ninth. You stood up and looked around. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. You can see Iemitsu coming towards you, but… Something is different. "Blood… I want blood." The voice rings in your head. Your body automatically moves, and you grabbed Iemitsu's fist. "Delicious… Flames…" You felt his energy running through your veins as you drained it. The power inside you grows in strength. The man kicks you away as he realizes what you are doing.
"KILL HIM, GODDAMMIT." Your boss yells at you even more. You were growing tired of his voice. You quickly shifted your attention back at Iemitsu. You felt your hand grow cold as energy started to build there. Your eyes locked with his, and you menacingly stared. You can imagine invisible hands holding him in his place. It seemed as if he felt it, too. He stood there, paralyzed for a moment. You abruptly threw the collected dark mass at Iemitsu, launching him through the window. For some reason, this action caused you to snap out of your daze. You realized what you had done, and dread collected around your heart. "Wh-what…"
"Kill the Ninth. NOW." Your boss growled at you from behind. You looked at the old Mafioso, wondering why he hadn't escaped during your fight with his advisor. He looked at you softly, not speaking a word. You heard the click of a gun. "Kill him, or I will kill both of you." You can feel the venom dripping from his words and cowardice took you once again. "Annoying… ANNOYINGANNOYINGANNOYING." The voice screamed in your head, and you shifted back into a daze. This time, you looked at your boss and spoke. However, this isn't your voice. It sounded scratchy and delirious. "This girl. This child… IS MINE. THIS VESSEL IS MINE. DON'T YOU DARE." Your body rushed up to him, and you grabbed him by the neck. You can feel an enormous amount of energy enter your system.
"Stop it." Your eyes followed where the voice came from. It was the Ninth. You felt a wide grin stretch across your face. "Why? Wasn't he going to kill you anyway?" The old man gave you a stern look. "[Name], please stop. I know you are still in there."
"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP." You threw your boss into the floor and listened to the number of ceilings he went through. You felt pleased at what you had done, but something felt wrong. Even if he mistreated you so badly, it felt wrong to kill him. You remembered all the training you went through. All the innocent people you killed during the process. You remembered how heavy your heart felt each time a person was killed… By your own hands. You couldn't stop, though. You feared that each time you were training, your boss was watching you. If you don't kill, you will get killed.
You dropped to your knees, tears welling up in your eyes. Suddenly, you an felt excruciating pain pervade throughout your body. You closed your eyes and passed out.
