"I've learned that people will forget what you said,

people will forget what you did,

but people will never forget how you made them feel."

― Maya Angelou

Yuya waited on that there would be no and leads her back to her room. She sat down on one of the sofas and waited. She looked out at the garden and longed for her home. Wonder if they were looking for her now or they would first notice she had been taken when it was too late.

How could it be she ended up in this mess? Now she would never find her brother's killer. Who were these people and what did they want from her. Would they sell her as a slave? Why did Shinrei do this to her.

No, she would never allow her selves to be sold. She would fight for it with her life. She could not count on others; she was forced to be strong. She would find a way out of this prison. Yuya stood resolute up and looked if there was anyone that was watching her. But did not see any.

It was time to explore the place and find out if there were any gaps in security.

Shinrei looked sadly at Yuya. How could he do this to her. It pained him to see her so distraught. But he was forced to do as he did. It was important things than to follow his heart. He had people who counted on him. Persons whom he had sworn to protect no matter what.

He was forced to put his love for Yuya gone forever. Get her to hate him more than her brother's killer. But his heart would not allow it. Everyday he struggled to put his emotions away. He was forced to become the person he was before he met her. He was forced to be heartless and kill his love for her.

He saw that she had stood up from the couch she was sitting on and he waited a bit and then wanted to follow her. His master had said he would keep an eye on her and if she came densification in the basement he had to stop her. There were things she should not look down there.

"Shinrei " he looked around but could not see anyone. He knew it was the Oracle.

"Show yourself Oracle" he replied cold.

"Oh Shinrie , How's life treating you." The Oracle had still not shown up.

"Drop your shit witch. I have things I have to do" he snapped.

"Remember you have chosen the path you follow. You can not change the past, but you can still change your future." She stood in front of him and looked into his eyes and soul. "You have put yourself in the situation you are in now. I see your future, but you choose how it will be shaped. It's nothing I can do."

"You should have never said anything to me witch. I never asked you about it. I did not want to know what the future brought." He interrupted with a hard voice. "Who are you to decide what our future will be. "

"You do not hear what I say. And you did not then." She sighed and looked grief bravely at him. "I just wanted you to find happiness . But you chose a different path than the one I had seen. You could have been happy with her."

"Why would I want happiness and love when I should have more lives on my conscience. People I could have saved if I didn't chose happiness and love. People who believe in me. That I would free them from there misery that my father has imposed on them. I would never have come to love her if it was not for you " he was angry at her. She never should have sought him out.

"You could have gotten both your wishes. But you chose a path where pain and death follows you. I had seen a different future for you. But you changed it since you agreed to lead The Hope here. Now she would suffer that nobody should experience. Death would follow her. She has to see her beloved die. Life would be hard and cruel to her. "

He could see the pain she had in her eyes when she told him what would happen with Yuya. She could feel what Yuya would go through. "And nothing can change the fate she has been awarded, but she will survive her pain and wounds. But you have been and will be an accomplice to her misery. Now you must also live with the burden on your shoulder Shinrei. He who doesn't dare wins nothing."

He looked down and could feel the blame draw on himselves. He would be one of the reasons for Yuya would suffer. Could you have done anything differently? Yes if he had never learned to know her. If he had not taken the mission, then he had never come close to her and started to have feelings for her .

It was his own fault that he had let himself be influenced so easily by her smile and kind heart. He had lived so long in the dark and he was attracted to her as a magnet. He could not think of her, he was forced to forget her. He had others who trust him with their lives. People he couldn't failure, not even for Yuya .

He had completely forgotten The Oracle , but could not see her anymore. He had been deep in his thoughts that he had not watched Yuya.

"Shit. She cannot be that hard to find "he whispered to himself.

Yuya walked down along a dark corridor where almost no light was. One hand on the wall so she could feel her way. She was surprised that there were not any that had stopped her yet. She could hear some faint screams and came up to a large metal door and was about to open.

"What are you doing here Yuya." She got a shock and took her to heart . She turned to him but could not see where he stood.

"I can not see it's your business Shinrei " she replied with an angry undertone.

"It makes it so Yuya. I'm here to take you back to your chamber." He replied cold.

She stood where she was. Who was this person really? Did she know him at all? Was he the cold person who had not seen love but longed for it? Or he was cold and did not want to experience love. Was he a wounded soul who longed for security and comfort? Or was he a lost soul who had sold his soul to the devil?

She could feel the cold finger that took hold of her wrist. She pulled her arm to herself and he let go of her.

"Do not touch me Shinrei."

"I really do not want to touch you, but if it's the only way I can get you back to your chamber, then it must be so ," he said with disgust.

"I'll follow, but you should never touch me again . I am disgusted at the thought of what you have done." She started to go the same way as she had come from

"I do not know who you are or what you're doing. You could be the devils son. I cannot understand I cared about you. You have brought me to this place and do not know what to do. But you can safely trust that I will find a way out of here "

"Well I feel the same way. You mean nothing to me. You were nothing but a task I should have done. But you were easy to fool. I could hardly let join us to laugh when I saw the expression on your face when I was with the other woman " laugh he cold.

It hurt to know she had been so naive. She should have known from start something was wrong. A guy like him always had problems with them. But she needed someone she could trust and who would take care of her when she was down. And he had been there at the right time and place. Was that why she would not give Kyo a chance? Was she afraid that she would be hurt and stepped on again? Would he surrender to her 100 percent? Or would he go away with another.

"And just so we have it all straight. You're not going to escape here from Yuya. And your precious Kyo and Sasuke will not rescue you. And your lovely Taihaku will not either. You are all alone Yuya. Nobody gives a shit about you"

"I do not need others I have taken care of thing by my self. But I feel sorry for you Shinrei. You 're all alone in a cold world where you only experience death. You have never experienced love and happiness. You have not experienced the joy of someone loves you and vice versa. For you Shinrei has no place in your black heart to such a feeling." She replied with sadness

"Never speak like you know me Yuya . You do not know me and you would never get to If she could see his eyes, she will probably be scared . His voice was so hard and cold that it could cut through ice.

"I do not want to know you. That wish died along from the day I saw who you were" she answered bravely.

He did not answer her and she said no more. They walked in silence back to her room. Without front of her door stood Mizuki and waited for Yuya.

Mizuki bowed easy for Shinrei " Shinrei The Lord said that I should do Yuya ready for tonight . "

" Well Mizuki " he nodded lightly with his head and walked away.

"Come Yuya we need you in the bath and dressed "

Yuya just nodded and followed with Mizuki into he room. She took off her clothes and went out in the bathtub Mizuki had made clear. She started to wash Yuyas hair and while humming .

" Mizuki I've been thinking about something"

" Well what is it. " She replied with a casual voice.

"I'm going to find a way out of here. But I need someone who knows the place better than anyone else. And who knows the place better than you. ? "

She could feel that Mizuki stopped her movements "and what makes you think I know this place?" she replied absent.

Yuya turned her head toward her and could see that she looked away .

"Because you have ensured been here a long time and your so-called master trusts you enough to allow you to be my maid."

"And what does that have to do with me"

"It has everything to do with you. You can help me to get away from here. You and I. You can come and stay with me."

"Yuya it's not possible to do. Do you know the penalty for escape or make the Lord mad "

"Death " asked Yuya

Mizuki started laughing sad

"Death would be easy for a solution. You would be tortured to slowly die. It may take several years before death coming to get you. And every day you would wish he came"

" Mizuki. You cannot live in fear of what will happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You need to life here and now and get the best to happen. I know how it is to live in the past and I still do, but I cannot let go until I have done the last part. Only then can I get redirected. But I am not afraid of death or what is to be. Because if it is the price of trying to achieve what I want, then it's all worth it " her eyes shining with determination. "I would do everything in my power to save you if it meant you could live freely. I would also be happy to take your punishment. "

Mizuki had tears in his eyes and cried quietly. "How can you be so kind-hearted Yuya? I wish I had your courage. But I just cannot do it. I can not help you Yuya. The castle has eyes and ears all over the place. So beware Yuya"

She got up and took a dress up and hung it on the door.

"He wanted to see you in an hour. I'm coming to get you Yuya "

Yuya sighed and dipped her head under water. She would have persuaded her to help her. She thought back to the metal door she had come to and the weak screams came from the inside. Is that torture perished? She had to know what happened behind the closed door.
