Tomoe leads me through the shrine, straight to my room. Although he doesn't really lead, he pulls me by my shirt colar. Kurama had stayed outside. It still keeps me wondering why he's here. Someone like him ought to have eveything at his fingertips.

The silver haired beast drags me into my room, and closes the door behind him. He then stares me down expectantly. What was i supposed to say? Your boss Mikage wants me to teach you some social skills? I'll be staying after all, since i have no where else to go? Maybe i just shouldn't speak at all and screw over Mikage. Or maybe i should apologize, after all. I still feel guilty for hurting him. It's been on my mind this whole time. I doubt he'd want to hear any of those things. What do i say? What do i say?

"Well? Do you care to explain to me where you went? Or planned to go?" Theres something in his voice. It sounds like worry, but there's no way it could be. I can't tell him about Mikage, i don't think it's right to.

He grabs my shoulders tight. "Well, if you will not tell me, at least tell me if you're okay.."

Why. Why would he worry. Why would he care. Wait, that's not what's happening. This has to be a trick question! He knows for a fact that i'm not alright! From my breakdown earlier, and my fresh injuries, he's just gotta know. But, even if i'm right, i need to show him that i'm strong, just like Mikage talked about. He can't look down on me, i won't let him.

"Im fine. Positively okay." I try to make it look like my head isn't pounding, and all my joints don't hurt.

He raises his eyebrow with question. He looks down and his eyes meet the scrape on my knee. Oh no, i think he sees through my little act. A mischevious grin then spreads across his face.

"Since youre feeling perfectly fine, i shall leave you and go deal with Kurama. Now, don't do anything rash, hear me?" And just like that he's gone.

Are you serious! He looked directly at my knee! I know i was tryna be tough and all, but he could of at least given me a band aid! Now i don't know what to do. I drop to the wooden floor on my bottom and lean my back against the wall. If i sit here any longer i might actually pass out. I am feeling a bit better though, better than before. Emotionally at least, i think about my time in the shed. Just saying 'the shed' sounds like a bad time. It sounds like a slasher flic or something. I had freaked out like a lunitic, but who could've blamed me. I had been kidnapped. But now that i think about, it wasn't that horrible. At least for me, I dont think Tomoe feels the same way. Why would i freak out if no one was gonna hurt me. Right, i didn't know then. This whole time, i had just been hurting myself. If i had stayed still in the beginning, i wouldnt be all dizzy with a possible concussion. If i hadn't tried to run away, i wouldn't have sore limbs and a scraped knee. Tomoe said he wouldn't have hurt me, but i tried to be strong just like my mother told me to act. How can i be kindnapped, and still feel safe? My mind drifts off and i close my eyes. I swear i'm only resting them, but it does feel nice... but i need... to... stay awake...

THE NEXT PART WILL BE IN TOMOE'S POV!
