CHAPTER 8-Confusion and suffering

Horror struck Emily's face while she took a step back. Her gaze fixed on Mike's face, which had an evil smirk on it, she gulped. Sweat started dripping from her forehead and she moved one of her hands in front of her face to clear it from the back of her hand. She gulped again, her eyes fixed on the red pair of eyes in front of her...something was definitely gonna get wrong today!

"Mike!?", she managed to blurt out looking questioningly at Mike.

Mike smiled , faking it to be a sweet one but it had a hint of evilness behind it, and sweetly replied,"Yes Emily?", while taking a step forward towards her.

"Mike! snap out of it", Emily shouted as she took two steps behind searching randomly without looking anywhere but Mike's face, any potential thing to be used as a weapon if, under any circumstances, Mike attacks her. But she could not hold anything.

"I am not into anything sweet Emily", Mike replied with more evil tone coated on his tongue as he continued moving towards Emily while she was just moving backwards. From the corner of her eye she noticed the ape zord looking curiously towards them and her samuraizer lying beside it. Damnit! No symbol power or morphing then.

"Mike stay away!", Emily shouted back while Mike just snorted in response while continuing to move towards her. The ape immediately recognized the expression of horror on her master's face and launched itself at Mike from behind. But as if Mike had already sensed something from behind he flew a hand to his back without even bothering to look behind and caught the ape in between his fingers trying to crush it while groaning.

Emily's doubts were confirmed seeing the weird noises Mike was making looking at the zord. This was not the Mike she came to Kagoshima with, this was not the Mike she had just kissed, and this was definitely not the Mike they had lost hours ago. The ape was struggling against Mike's grip and Emily noticed it.

"Leave the ape, your business is with me, leave it alone", she shouted without thinking and her eyes went wide realizing that she had just indirectly sort of invited danger to herself.

Mike looked up from the zord in his hands which was now deactivated due to the continuous crushing and struggle it was using to get out of his tight grip. Mike smirked again throwing the zord to the side not even caring to look where it went and said,"You are right, my business is all you today!"

And once again he started to move towards her. Emily was taking continuous steps backward and soon realized that it was a deadend for her. The wall was just behind her back and Mike just two steps away, with a hand extended towards her and an evil grin plastered to his face.

Antonio was in his room, all done packing when Jayden entered the room to see if everything was going alright. He came inside and stood beside him folding his hands over his chest and clearing his throat a bit. Antonio looked up from his bag and noticed him standing there. He didn't even acknowledged him and continued doing what he was doing. Jayden was confused, Antonio ignoring him?

"What the hell is wrong with you Antonio?", he asked now impatient.

"What is wrong with me? Ask that to yourself!", Antonio replied now looking straight into his blue eyes.

"Me?", Jayden asked innocently.

"Yes you, don't tell me you don't want to go to Kagoshima", said Antonio now pissed off.

"I don't, besides you are already going, what's the deal?"

"Jayden, you know it too well that my going there will not make that big a difference as your going will make. She needs you", Antonio replied calmly releasing a sigh.

"No Antonio, she is okay with you going there"

"She did insist on you coming there, didn't she?"

Jayden was speechless and he just looked down. Antonio shook his head and put a hand on his shoulder while he continued speaking.

"Jayden, don't do that to yourself friend. We can handle here, please go, I know you are suffering and you both need to be together in order to heal each other's wounds"

Jayden deeply took a breath and snapped up his head.

"Antonio, my duty is my first priority, she will be okay I know that, just do your best to cheer her up, and please find Mike, she won't be same again if we lose him"

"Jayden, you are still the most stubborn person I have ever met!", Antonio replied sternly and brushed past him holding his bag in his hand without even looking in his direction.

Ji was standing in the doorway listening to the conversation of the two friends and hid when he saw Antonio coming. He too shook his head when he noticed that Jayden has not moved a bit from his place, he was still facing the window with his back to the door and Ji was cent percent sure that he was crying.

Emily cringed when Mike was just some centimeters away from her face. She was looking to the other side with her eyes closed and tears were rolling down her cheeks. She was thinking of a way to escape the room, to run and run and run till she reaches the safe doors of the Shiba house...wait doors?

Her eyes traveled towards the main door of the room while a plan formed in her mind.

"I am gonna kill you", Mike's poisonous voice spoke barely whispering and smirking again.

"No you won't", Emily replied confidently while Mike smiled in response.

"Mhmmm-Hmmm...let's see"

With this said Mike launched his hands towards her in order to to grab her neck while Emily did a side cartwheel escaping his hands and reaching the door. She grabbed the knob and tried opening it but all in vain. How the hell can it be locked? She tried pushing it, pulling it...but nothing. Then her eyes went over to the top of the door where a hand was on the latch of the door. Her gaze travelled along the hand to meet the same pair of red eyes she encountered moments ago with the same evil smirk plastered on the face. But how come he traveled so fast? From the extreme corner of the room?

Ji entered the room where Jayden was standing and softly said,"Jayden?"

Jayden's hand went to his eyes and he rubbed them while he closed them again to take a deep breath and turned around smiling,"Yes Ji?"

"You have been crying?", Ji asked already knowing the answer.

Jayden laughed it off and shook his head while he ignored Ji's question and said,"You heard the conversation, didn't you?"

Ji too smiled and replied,"Yes I did, and I am glad I did. Jayden you can go if you want you know, don't do this"

"I don't want to go Ji, believe me"

"I can believe for once if someone says that the sun rises from the west but no way in hell can I believe that you don't want to go to Emily, whom you so lovingly call Em, whom you wish goodnight especially every night after she finishes her playing the flute, whom you care for too much and who trusts you the most. She is in a very sensitive state now and I know the intensity of your willingness to go there"

Jayden snorted and replied,"You are wrong Ji, I just call her "Em", it's nothing special, and I just wish her goodnight because she happen to meet me at the corridor and I care for everyone on the team to the equal level and as far as her trusting me is considered, I guess everyone trusts me the same"

Ji knew Jayden can be the most stubborn person and he also knew how to deal with it.

"Then swear on your symbol power and tell me what did you say to her to bring her back to the hotel"

Jayden's eyes grew wide and he was caught off guard by the question. He wasn't expecting Ji to be so stubborn this time. He knew he had some feelings, but he didn't want to work on them or think about them for that matter and what Ji was doing was just forcing him to accept what he has been declining for a while now. Jayden had no option but to tell the truth.

He looked down, not daring to meet Ji's gaze and replied softly,"That I love her!"

Ji's eyes went wide though somewhere in his mind he had come to the know the answer before Jayden had even confessed.

"See Jayden, you are overstressing yourself, just accept it child, it won't do any harm"

"Ji, I never meant it and I told it to Em as well over the phone. She understands it, I had no other option but to trigger her emotionally at that moment for her to be safe, and speaking frankly, I didn't see any other option", Jayden snapped back.

"Oh god Jayden, you are too confused yourself and hurting others too? Son, accept it, you love her", Ji said being more stubborn and shocked to know that Jayden so easily told Emily that he didn't mean what he said? It surely added to her mental stress.

"No Ji, I don't, it's better you accept it! She is just a friend", Jayden replied back.

"Whatever son, but you will understand the truth very soon, you better keep that in mind. Love is not a difficult thing", Ji said while Jayden rubed his temples releasing deep breaths.

Ji started moving out of the room when Jayden fell on his knees finally losing the battle, surrendering and looked down while saying,"I just don't want to get attached, I have a duty Ji"

"Jayden, sometimes getting attached is the only way to survive, otherwise the life within you will subside, these are your father's words", Ji replied calmly while leaving the room with Jayden now lost in his own thoughts to contemplate his decisions and Ji's words.

Emily's face was now white in fear. The only way she had to escape the room now closed. She was sure it was her final day. Mike was something else, at no cost will he leave Emily alive. But she decided that she will fight till her last breath, even if it meant fighting Mike.

Mike launched himself at Emily trying to hold her while she just hit him hard on the stomach as a result of which Mike groaned and Emily ran towards the other end of the room. Mike grabbed a nearby vase and threw it towards her while Emily successfully managed to dodge and the vase hit the wall shattering into a million pieces. This intensified Mike's anger to another level and Emily noticed that his eyes were more burning red than before. He groaned again climbing on the bed and running towards her while she again slid in between his legs and rushed to the washroom. Mike followed her making loud voices of anger, of hatred, of revenge on the way.

Emily managed to enter the washroom before him and tried to lock the door while Mike continued pushing it.

"Open it, back off you bitch! I will eat you alive!", he shouted.

But Emily continued her struggle and she successfully managed to lock the door keeping her back to the door and realesing a breath while tears escaped her eyes.

"Jayden, please come, please...Ja-Jay!", she cried.

She thought she was safe for now but her thoughts crushed like mountains on her head when her eyes went to the window in the washrrom connected to the balcony.

"Oh no!", she said and excatly that happened what she had expected.

A loud glass shattering voice echoed in the bathroom as Emily covered her ears and eyes. She slowly opened her eyes and her fears returned as she saw the figure of Mike standing there in front of her smirking.

She caught hold of the glass brushstand and threw it at him injuring him on his biceps from where blood oozed out. Mike looked at it and groaned again while he came towards her gripping her by her hair and very violently htting her head on the washroom's wall. Severe pain captured Emily's forehead and she touched it to realize that it was bleeding badly. One more hit on the wall and before Emily knew what happened, she saw black dots in front of her eyes as she blacked out.
