----------
Yusuke woke the next morning not wanting to go to school. Surprisingly, her mother didn't come in and grab her out of bed and out the door. Eventually, curiosity got to her and she decided to get up and have breakfast.
'Man, I hope she didn't decide to try to cook again,' she thought as she sat up in bed and looked around the strange room. Immediately the events of yesterday and the night before that came back to her. And the punishment that she'd received. 'Looks like I won't be having to worry about mom cooking for a good while though. Man, why did I have to get up?'
Lying back down on the bed, she once again closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep, but for once she couldn't just drift off. The silence that surrounded her was too silent, and it seemed to almost have a mind all its own, oddly enough. It slithered through the room and wrapped everything in its suffocating clutches.
'I'm being paranoid!' Yusuke thought desperately. Yet, as the day dragged on, she began to wonder if she truly was.
By noon, the stabbing pain of hunger convinced her she wasn't going to go back to sleep, and the room had shot up in temperature so much that she felt as though she were in an oven. Several times she had tried to use the water to cool herself off or to take away the hunger pains that left her dizzy by filling her stomach with water. It hadn't worked though, all it did was leave a bad taste in her mouth and cause her stomach to cramp painfully.
Sometime during the afternoon, while Yusuke was still in a miserable daze of heat, a huge explosion rocked the fortress with a very loud KABOOM! Just as surprising was when the room suddenly cooled to the point where Yusuke scrambled for her blanket. Below her, deep voices and a shrill one were bellowing something about giving more of a warning. At one point, when her head cleared momentarily, she believed she heard the name Karasu.
It took a second for her still slowly functioning brain to grasp, but when it did, she couldn't help but laugh. 'Maskman is causing trouble?' she thought. 'Didn't know he had it in him.'
The few seconds that this occurred in got her mind off of her hunger for a few minutes and her body acted upon its own, quickly sending her into a deep sleep.
----------
'Where am I?' Yusuke thought when she opened her eyes yet again. Everything felt strange and fuzzy and soft and warm. Around her was a vortex that swirled around her in a calming shade of blue.
Reaching out, she tried to touch the edge of the vortex that seemed so close, but her hand just couldn't reach. Turning her head, she found that as far as she could see, she was completely alone...or was she? All around her she could sense some sort of presence that didn't seem to have a physical form.
A true shocker hit her, and she felt her heart skip several beats when a mind touched her own. It wasn't very much like hers, yet at the same time it was. It also felt familiar in another way.
'There you are,' came a sudden voice. It sounded aged and wise, but not old, and through it, she could sense two others watching her. The being's mind reached out again and touched her mind again. 'I finally found you.'
'Who are you?' she asked with her own mind. She could almost sense the beings disappointment at her question. 'Are you here to help me?' she asked hopefully.
'Yes,' was the answer, 'I'm here to help you. And as to who I am, you'll remember soon enough.' The voice was soothing, almost fatherly now, but Yusuke remained suspicious, especially when the mind seemed to almost solidify as it tried to wrap itself around her and pull her towards a dark end of the vortex.
'NO!' she screamed mentally as she pulled herself away. The being though, wasn't about to give up as it tried to get a firmer grip, this time the other two attempting to help also. Pulling back just in time, she pushed at the edges of the vortex, trying to get out. Instantly, the vortex shattered, plunging her back into darkness...
--------
"Get up already!" a voice shouted at Yusuke.
Groggily, she opened her eyes and stared straight up at Karasu's angry face. The dream she'd just had flew to the back of her mind as she promptly shoved her hands over her ears to block out Karasu's next yell. She still heard it anyway.
"You are one lazy brat! I was sent up here to tell you to get up, that two days have passed, and you're still asleep! Now get up or you'll miss breakfast."
The word 'breakfast' clicked very fast for Yusuke, and she got up as fast as she could, though her head was still clouded and her body ached from hunger so badly that she keeled over. An exasperated Karasu pulled her back up to her feet by the collar of her now very ragged shirt.
Yusuke's mind remained clouded even as she followed Karasu down the stairs, across the room where her hair had been cut off, and through a door she hadn't noticed before. On the other side was a small kitchen/eating area. Bui, minus his helmet, stood at one corner of kitchen, picking up a plate from a small tray of food. Also on the tray sat two more plates with food loaded o them. Karasu promptly grabbed one before going to sit at a small, scrubbed wooden table that Bui now sat at.
Yusuke quietly picked up the last plate before moving over to the table herself. There were only three chairs to begin with, so she took the last one, sitting on the other side of Bui, opposite Karasu. The plate held several different kinds of food, including what looked like porridge, some stuff that looked like eggs except they were green, and toast.
'Well,' she thought gloomily, 'it might not be Cinnamon Toast Crunch, pancakes, or anything I recognize, but at least it looks edible.' With that, she slowly began to eat.
----------
The three exchanged looks, still shocked that the girl had escaped them.
"She is stronger than we originally thought," one began. "Getting her to come to us will be difficult since we can't simply go kidnap her as that Toguro did."
"Yes," another agreed. "We'll have to wait until her defenses are really weak again before we try to trap her again. And next time, we mustn't underestimate her."
The last one though, simply stared straight ahead, unmoving. His companions looked at him, watching for his reaction. When he finally spoke, he whispered in his aged yet not old voice, "She has grown strong, but she can still become stronger. We may have lost her today, but not forever. The fact she could resist us is amazing though, so for now, I am pleased."
---------- Saria: So, like it? Hate it? Who cares!?! Review one and all!
