Kasumi watched as Mitsuhide attacked Kai violently, aiming punches at Kai, who blocked each of them effectively. She was concerned for Kai, anxiously waiting for the training to be over. At one point, Mitsuhide succeeded in hitting Kai in his chest and knocking him down to the floor.
"Still not good enough!" he said angrily, kicking him in his side.
Kai cried out and tried to stand, but Mitsuhide was already consumed by rage. He grabbed Kai's hair and yanked it back forcefully, kicking him in his arched back, which made Kai feel as though his neck was about to be torn off.
"Mitsuhide, control yourself!" Kasumi scolded, desperate for him to stop hurting Kai.
"Sorry Leah, I just can't resist beating up this bastard," said Mitsuhide, shoving Kai forward and slamming him against the wall.
"Why don't you let me take him to his cell? I bet I could do it better than you," Leah teased him, hoping that he would agree. After all, the fool was evidently infatuated by her.
"Ya think? Here, take him away, damn loser," said Mitsuhide, shoving Kai towards Kasumi: "I meant him not you!" he added quickly in case she had thought that he was calling her a 'damn loser'.
"See you later," said Kasumi. She took hold of Kai's arm and pulled him forward, trying to be gentle. When they were out of the room, she slackened her grip on him and whispered: "Tsukino knows that you're alive. She told me to tell you that she loves you with all her heart, and told you not to give up."
Kai smiled contentedly, and whispered: "Tell her that I'll survive for her, and that I love her too."
When they arrived at Kai's cell, Kasumi let him in and told him: "I'm sorry, but I'll have to tie you up or they'll know I'm working against them."
"Yeah, okay," said Kai, before he sat down on the floor and held his hands behind his back. Kasumi tied up his wrists and ankles and tied the cloth around his mouth, trying to keep his bonds a bit loose so as to not make him feel uncomfortable.
"Is it okay like this?" she asked.
Kai nodded.
"Good. I'll see you then," she said, rose to her feet and left the cell, locking the door behind her.
Kai relaxed against the wall, feeling more comfortable than usual since the ropes were not cutting into his skin and the fabric of the gag wasn't stifling his mouth. He felt tired, so he closed his eyes and leaned back, trying to sleep. The silence enveloped him, and soon he was asleep, dreaming of his mother, his father...
And Tsukino...
