Chapter 5: Real Punishment, 20 steps? and Phone Call

-With Kai-

It has been awhile when Miho had left. Kai was leaning against the wall. Wrists were starting to hurt because of the rope. As he twisted his wrists Raizo walked inside.

"What do you want?" Kai got angry already. Raizo walked to him without a word, just staring at him. He squatted down.

"What?!" Kai asked with annoyed voice. That earned him hit on the face. Kai glanced at Raizo again growling. He got a nosebleed from that last hit.

"You really don't understand rules, do you? But I will answer you. I'm thinking what job to give you", Raizo said coldly.

"Hn", was only answer Kai gave him as turning his head away. But Raizo didn't buy it. He took hold on Kai's chin brining his face back to him.

"Let go!" Kai struggled but Raizo tightened his grip.

"You have broken rules three times now and one rule two times. You don't keep your mouth shut and you are giving me an order. What do you think is going to happen?" Raizo lifted Kai's head up. Kai made a big mistake. He looked straight into Raizo's eyes. They looked different than last time. His eyes were more… evil.

"I asked you a question. And when I do you answer", with that he grabbed Kai by his throat and squeezed it really hard.

"Argh…" Kai choked out. Raizo was squeezing so hard that Kai couldn't even gasp for oxygen.

"When you answer me, I will let go. Take your sweet time", Raizo said. Kai opened and closed his eyes and mouth all over again. He kicked everywhere. He managed to hit Raizo few times.

"I'm waiting", Raizo giggled. Kai's whole face was red from lack of oxygen.

"I… c… bre…h", Kai couldn't speak at all. Raizo was holding his throat too hard.

"Let's put the question this way. Do you know what happens to you if you break the rules?" Raizo's voice had really evil tone in it.

"Arg…" Kai managed to nod his head slightly as a yes. Raizo stared at him with evil smile on his face and let go. Kai got finally oxygen inside his lungs as he was taking deep breathes and coughing.

"At least one thing you have learned. And since you broke two rules, one twice, you have to be punished", Raizo stood up as Kai kept taking deep breathes. Raizo bent down and grabbed Kai by his hair pulling him up. Kai held his voice. Raizo pushed him in the kitchen where other cooks were taking a break. First Kai thought Raizo was going to put him on the stove again but he didn't. Instead he took him in front of next room.

"You are going to have your first real punishment and maybe I ask help from Boris", Raizo pushed the door open.

"No, don't. Please", Kai opened his mouth again and immediately regret it.

"You broke rule one the third time. That makes it four", Raizo counted as he pushed Kai inside. Kai managed to stay afloat. Raizo walked beside him.

"Don't move". Kai saw Raizo was holding chains in his hands. Raizo cut the rope on his wrists and chained wrists together keeping them behind his back.

"There are few steps in this punishment. This one is the first step", Raizo said as he threw chain up and pulled immediately. Kai made a small gasp as his hands were pulled up behind his back. It forced him to bend over and Kai was only standing on his toes. Raizo bent down that Kai could see his face.

"The first step: hanging from the ceiling by hands and hands behind person's back and feet almost on the ground for three hours", Raizo walked towards the door.

'Three hours like this?' Kai gritted his teeth in pain. If he could get energy to his feet, it wouldn't hurt so much. Raizo glanced at him one more time before leaving. Kai's breathing tensed as time passed on. 'Someone… please let me down' Kai began to beg inside his mind. This felt worse than Boris' punishment already.

-With Kai after three hours-

Kai was so tired when Raizo came back. Kai's vision was blurry for some reason. Raizo walked to chain, which was holding Kai in the air. Kai thought he was finally let down but his wish was unheard. Instead putting him down, Raizo pulled the chains brining Kai up.

"AAH!" Kai yelled as his shoulder was dislocated and his feet were 60 centimeters above the ground.

"Step two: hanging from the ceiling in the same position, 60 centimeters above the ground for another three hours", Raizo stated proudly.

"Grrr", Kai hissed in pain as he watched Raizo. He smiled and left him alone again. Kai's breathing was faster than before. Ignoring the pain was impossible. This was definitely different punishment than Boris' punishment. Boris made it hard, fast and really painful. Now it felt like having Boris' punishment for 24 hours, maybe even longer and harder.

-After two hours with Miho-

"It was nice meeting you, but we have to go. Remember, you don't call me I call you", Miho said. Tyson and others waved and went to work.

"Ready to go home?" Lisa asked. Miho nodded and they made it home half an hour. Lisa's father dropped Miho in front of the front door.

"Welcome back Miss", Takaki said: "I was asked to tell you that don't approach Raizo today". With that Takaki left. Miho knew immediately what Raizo was doing. She ran to the black door next to kitchen.

"He has half hour left. Then it's step three" Raizo appeared behind her. Miho saw Raizo's eyes. Every time he giving real punishment his eyes changed really evil looking. Raizo left but he would be back. Miho opened the door and saw Kai in really bad position. His hands were behind his back and he was hanging from the ceiling. He was sweating and gasping.

"Hey", Miho whispered. Kai looked at her through his hair. Miho squatted down that Kai could see her more easily.

"Please… help…" Kai begged. He was about to cry. Miho went closer to his face hand placed her hand on his cheek.

"I'm so sorry. I can't put you down or anything. If I do that, I'll be punished as well. And if I'm stuck here, I can't help you", she whispered.

"How?" Kai asked weakly. She turned her head and went closer.

"I went to visit your friends and told them where you are. But to get you out of here safely, they have to find that slave market first and tell the police. That way you have chance to decide about your own life. Do you understand that? Slave market is illegal, but since my father bought you, you're literally his tool and he can decide everything about your life. Only way to save you is to find the market, find documents they keep about the kids and show them to judge. That way it's proved that you were kidnapped and bought from there", she tried to make it short but failed.

Kai listened to her closely. Others knew where he was and that was the first good new awhile. He glanced at her.

"I… can't take…this", Kai whispered.

"Just hold on there. You have to be strong now. I know you can do it", Miho whispered back: "You can buy time doing everything they tell you but it doesn't look like you won't".

"No hell I won't. I never listened to Boris", Kai hissed slightly.

"Then you have to hold on. I will do everything I can", Miho said and stood up: "This real treatment's steps doesn't have limit. There maybe three steps or four. But sometimes there are even twenty steps. It depends what kind of mood Raizo is".

Kai's eyes shot wide open: "What kind of mood is he now?"

Kai was afraid to ask that but it was too late now.

"Really bad, sorry", Miho replied and closed the door. Kai wasn't able to hold them anymore. He let the tears fall from his eyes.

-After half an hour-

Kai's were red from crying. He gazed up when Raizo walked in.

"Oi, have the slave been crying?" Raizo mocked grabbing Kai's chin. Kai didn't say anything. His eyes were speaking.

"Step three: …", as Raizo said it he threw water on Kai. Kai's whole body was wet. Raizo moved behind him making Kai nervous. Nothing happened for a while, but then Raizo appeared in front of Kai. Raizo was smiling and holding something on both of his hands. Without speaking Raizo lifted them up and placed them on Kai's sides.

"AAAAAAAAAAA!" Kai screamed louder than ever before in his whole life. Huge electricity wave went through his body. Kai's eyes were wide open and pupils got smaller as the pain continued. Raizo was laughing hard.

"…Give electroshock to the person who's being punished", Raizo laughed. He shut the power down and Kai's head fell down. His whole body was shaking.

"Step four: …" Raizo smirked. That made Kai to look at Raizo. Kai shook his head as no.

"No, no. I'm really bad mood thanks to you", Raizo pulled out a knife and put on Kai's shoulder.

"I know you want to say something. And just for you I give you permission to speak", Raizo began push knife slowly.

"Please, don't. I'll do anything but stop. Leave hang here or something but stop", Kai begged. Raizo lifted knife on Kai's neck.

"If you had said that earlier and not make me angry, I would say yes to your pathetic begging", Raizo made quick move. He stabbed Kai to the shoulder, dislocated shoulder.

"AAAH!" Kai screamed again: "STOP! I'LL DO ANYTHING!" Raizo ignored Kai's voice and stabbed him again. This time on the other shoulder, then his leg.

"Step five", Raizo threw knife away. He unlocked the chains and fell on his stomach. Immediately Kai began to drag himself to the door. The he welt whip against his back all over again. Kai began to cry again.

"Step six", Raizo stated. Kai's vision was blurry. He was half unconscious.

"N…o…" Kai's voice was really weak. Raizo wrapped rope around Kai's throat tying it up. Kai grabbed the rope as Raizo pulled him off the floor. Now Kai was hanging from the ceiling by his throat. Kai kicked in the air.

"Argh…ah", Kai choked. Oxygen didn't find the way to the lungs as Kai continued kicking even harder.

"You told me to leave you hang", Raizo giggled. Kai held his hands near his neck trying to get hold of the rope.

"P…lease… h…elp", Kai choked. Raizo smirked when Miho ran behind him.

"PUT HIM DOWN!" Miho shouted. She had never been this angry before. Kai's kicking grew weaker. Raizo turned to her. Just when he was opening his mouth he saw the butler with her.

"Slave had enough. He won't disobey again", Takaki said. Raizo's smile faded as he left. Miho ran to Kai.

"Just hold on", Miho said. Takaki cut the rope and Kai fell down. Miho grabbed him putting her arms around him. Kai didn't protest this time. He only wanted to breathe.

"I want him to come inside my own room", Miho said.

"You have to ask your father about that", Takaki stated. Miho knew his father's answer already.

"I'm going to take him to my room. I'll ask him later. You can tell him that", Miho pulled Kai up and helped him out.

-With Miho-

Kai's walking was slow and painful. In every step he hissed in pain.

"We are almost there", Miho said. Kai only nodded. They arrived to Miho's room in couple of minutes. She didn't care about the blood and placed Kai on her bed. He closed his eyes and Miho took his shirt off. She began to treat the wounds. As she was doing it her mother came in.

"What is slave doing in your room?" mother asked. She clearly tried to hold her voice.

"Raizo was way too angry. He could have killed him and almost did. Plus, these wounds won't heal inside the chamber", Miho reasoned. She spoke truth but didn't say every detail.

"Alright, but when he's healed, he's going where he belongs", mother closed the door.

"Sor…ry", Kai whispered.

"Shut up. You don't have any reason to say sorry", Miho cleaned the wound and put bandages on them.

"Th…anks", Kai said. His voice was already getting stronger. Kai tried to sit up but Miho stopped him.

"Lay down", Miho pushed him down but Kai sat up.

"Didn't you that you would be in trouble if you help me", Kai stated.

"Yeah, but you couldn't hold on. And you shouted that you would anything. That got you more trouble if you are going to disobey", Miho said. Kai sighed. He didn't want to yell that but he wasn't able stop his voice.

"And since you said that, my order is this. Lay down", this time Miho was able to push Kai down.

"Would you like to speak to your friends?"

Kai shot up. Of course he hissed in pain but he didn't care about that now.

"Do you have their phone number or something?" Kai asked.

"Yes. I have Ray's number. I can call him if you want", Miho smiled as showing her phone. Kai nodded. Miho immediately called Ray.

"It's me Miho. There is someone who wants to talk to you", with that she handed phone to Kai.

Kai took a breath and spoke: "It's me".

"KAI!" Ray shouted.

"There is no need to yell", Kai rubbed his ear.

"Sorry. We have been so worried about you", Ray said. Then Kai heard Tyson.

"Ray has been worried about you and when you get back here, he tells you why".

"Shut up Tyson", Ray snapped. Kai got confused. What did Tyson mean by that?

"I have to go now", Kai said.

"We will find that market. I promise you that", Ray said. Kai let small smile but luckily others didn't see it. He gave phone back to Miho.

"Remember to delete my number. I'll do the same thing", Miho said and put phone away.

"And now you. Lie down and relax. I'll come up with something to prevent Raizo to hurt you", Miho pushed Kai down again and put blanket on him. Kai closed his eyes as Miho left outside. Probably going to talk her father.
