A/N : hiya guys , so this chapter was actually supposed to be up earlier ... Hehe but unfornunetly six week school exams just started so I was super preoccupied with my studies I sincerely apologize , but when I comes to school it's my number 1 choice . So sorry , but yeah I hope you understand.

Anyway here's another chapter of escape . And this chapter while it is a little short hopefully it will get you pumped for another one . ;)

Disclaimer : I do not own Natsume yuujinchou

Matoba POV -

To say he was furious was an understatement as he stared down Natori . The man had exaushted Natsume to his fullest extent .

He was pissed off , at first this was just a simple punishment for Natsume .

Natsume was only supposed to have been annoyed , finished his job and come home.

When they came back , Natsume was unconscious , exhausted , and Natori was grinning apologetically with his bird in his arms.

He glanced at Natori again before glaring at him . This mess was all his fault
, he should have never agreed to this .

Now his bird would be missing school and would be sleeping for days.

His powerful abilities always made him like this. A sickly child when over used , and very spaced out when regaining the lost and used up energy.

" Natori did you think it wise to use Natsume in such a way ? Or were you merely curious as to what he could do ? " he as icily.

" Hehehe my sincerest apologies Matoba-San , it was never my attentions for Natsume to have done that. Natsume-kun did this on his own , he had a memory absorption attack and it caused him to jump in on his own. " he said looking at Natsume in the bed next to the two of them.

He huffed in irritation , Natsume had been known to do such stupid things before but This was just plain stupidity .

He would find a fitting punishment when Natsume would wake up.

But for now his bird was to sleep , and enjoy his peace for now . Because he'll was certainly going to have a new definition when he was done with him.

" Matoba-San if may, Natsume is an extraordinary yokai . But you must also remember that this particular yokai is also a human as well. If you break him , I don't know what would happen , but my gut tells me it won't be ... Pleasant " Natori stated somewhat hesitantly .

This had taken his thoughts of punishment to a halt. He had seen Natsume angry before , it wasn't a pretty sight .

Even today he's still not sure what he saw back then when he first gained Natsume as a familiar .

But then again he's not sure he wants to remember it all...

" Natori-San I understand that you have a soft spot for Natsume-kun , but remember he is MINE . He is not yours , I will punish him as I see fit . " he said somewhat darkly.

Natori flinched , the man obviously thought he was going to cave to his wishes.

But then again just as he was a spoiled kid . Natori was a spoiled actor , always trying to get his way by wooing others to agree with him.

But he was smarter than that , after all he did the same things with other clans.

Though it was a little different considering they were threats . But that wasn't the point , the point was that Natori thought he had the right to judge him.

" We are done here Natori-San . I'll give you a call if I need you for anymore exorcisms, until then please travel safe . " he said boredly .

Natori stared at him for a bit before getting up and heading out . He watched after him for a few moments before sliding his gaze to Natsume .

It was certainly going to be a while before he would wake up. And it would be no surprise if he didn't wake up for a while .

When Natsume took memories , he ended up aborning the whole moment in time .

The pain , the emotions , the whole shebang ; not to mention the voices .

From what Natsume had told him the voices were the worst , always giving him dizzy spells afterwards.

His poor bird , what torture it must be for him. Perhaps Natori was right , this was punishment enough.

For now a least .

He stare out the open sliding door and look at the moon , just like Natsume did .

He never understood why Natsume did it though , as if he were watching the most intresting thing in the world.

Maybe he would ask Natsume what he saw after he woke up. But for now he was to be patient , and wait for Natsume to wake up.

-End for now.-

Well I got to say , I personally hate this chapter . I was really disappointed in it . But I've had writers block for a while . So guys I need your help , I need you to give me ideas for the next chapter.
And whose ever idea wins my attention I'm dedicating the chapter to you and a oneshot of any fan fiction of your choice . Along with any pairing you like .
