"Shuichi." Kaname spoke, sitting up on his throne, taking his eyes off of the documents in his hands "What a pleasant surprise. Where's Eiri?"

"Training." Shuichi said gently, slowly approaching him

"Come, no need to be afraid." Kaname spoke

"I was looking for Mizu... so I could set up a time to talk to you..." Shuchi said

Kaname chuckled

"You never need to set up a time to speak to me."Kaname replied "Come whenever you need."

"Where's Mizu?" Shuichi asked, cocking his head.

Kaname raised an eyebrow.

"Why?"

"Just asking."

Kaname laughed.

"Don't worry about that."

"Where's Mizu?" Shuichi asked, firmer

Kaname stood, his eyes narrowing.

"I said, forget it." He said, his voice still sounding gently, complete in contrast to the murderous look in his eye. "Now," he said "What can I do for you?"

Shuichi narrowed his eyes, but spoke nonetheless.

"I wanted... to learn..."

"About what?" Kaname asked, walking down the stairs towards Shuichi

"About my power. About Chaos Magics and what they can do."

"Oh... and what brought this on?"

Shuichi shrugged.

"I've just been thinking, and I know that there are other attacks besides the Chaos Dimension, the Shield and Arrow that I've learned." Shuichi began "And I want to mastre them all."

Kaname again cocked his head.

"Why should I teach you... if you refuse to serve me?"

"I only serve my master." Shuichi spoke "I have no control over how he chooses to use me.Whether it is to your benefit... or not. However, if I am on our side... don't you think it would be best that I am strong?"

"And oif you come to stand against me?"

"Then..." Shuichi said, his eyes meeting Kaname's "Your death would be qiuck and painless."

Kaname's breath caught for a moment, shocked

"Is that so?" He asked,"Then, Shuichi Shindo, Chaos Wielder, I shall teach you... everything I know."

Mizu's body hung limply from chains in a stone wall. He dimly remembered being here several times as a child, when he was first given to his Lord Kaname.

-------------------------------FLASHBACK!------------------------------

Mizu's arms hung limply in the air, his hands reaching in vain for his father's face. His silver hair falling in his eyes as his fathers srong arms tossed him higher in the air from his position laying on his back.

"Son. Mizu. Soon, this will all change."

Mizu's blue eyes narrowed, confused.

"Soon, you won't belong to me anymore."

"Papa?" Mizu asked, his short arms still reaching in vain for his fathers face.

"Mizu." Lord Kaname's voice played in his head "Mizu!"

"Huh..."

"MIZU!!!

---------------------------End of flashback!------------------------------

Mizu's eyes snapped open. He was still in that dark room, He suspected it was an extension off of Kaname's room, but was sure. His body felt blissfully numb.

"Mizu."

Mizu pushed his eyes back open. He was drenched in sweat and blood. His wounds, the lesser ones, had started to heal, and his burns had beagn to blister and peel away, leaving behind soft pink flesh.

"Mizu. Are you in pain?" Kaname asked, almost sympathetically

Unable to lie to his master, Mizu shook his head.

"Oh..." Kaname said, grabbing a dagger off of a table "We can't have that." Kaname rammed the sharp blade into his stomach. Mizu cried out in pain, all of the pain from his previous wounds awakening within him.

"G... Kaname."

Kanamed neared Mizu, placing his hand gently on Mizu's head.

"Shs. Sh. You know Mizu..." He began, twisting the blade "That I ate doing this to you. You know how much I hate hurting you... so why won't you just tell me?" He asked, brushing back a strand of hair from Mizu's face.

"I have told you..." Mizu began "I do not know."

Growing angry, Kaname roughly snatched the knife out of Mizu's stomach, watching in fascination as the blood poured out.

"I know you've neem talking with Kina. And I know she's planning something. So, I just need you to tell me what it is."

Mizu let out a shaky breath.

"I told you already... I DO NOT KNOW."

"Then why were you talking to Kina?"

Mizu cocked his head, raising an eyebrow.

"On second thought, don't answer that." Kaname said. After a beat, he continued "Mizu... I want... I want you... to tell me.. what to do."

Mizu began to chuckle, despite the obvious pain it brought him.

"Tell me, what to do about this betrayl."

Mizu laughed harder.

"What?"

"Dear... Lord Kaname. I do believe you once said... that you are the Master, and I am the Servent."

Kaname narrowed his eyes, lifting the dagger dangerously.

"And I feel, I shall once again... have to remind you..." He cut a long cut down the side of Mizu's body "Just who you belong to. Who owns you." He repeated the action "Who you were..." He returned the blade to Mizu's stomach "Born for!"

Mizu's scream sounded off the palace walls.
