Exhaustion from being tossed around in the storm settled in on my body when I felt the boat stop thrashing around. It has been more than two days since the storm begun and it only now the waters seemed calm.

The door opened up and Centurion Julius entered soaked as he took a glance at us, unhooking me from the wall I nearly collapsed, when I landed on my hands and knees, while he unhooked Dai who stood there as he mused," Perhaps a longer hook would have been better."

Dai growled," You think? She was being tossed around down here!"

Centurion Julius swung his hand back handing Dai," ENOUGH! You are a slave learn your place! I have been lenient with you but that could very well change! I treat you with respect as a warrior."

Dai was thrown to the ground with surprising force as he grunted in slight pain and got back up onto one knee.

He glanced at me while Julius turned towards me," Your sister and your friends were a massive help, Miyuki wants you up there with her. Same with you, remember to behave yourself," the second part was directed at Dai who nodded wordlessly while from his belt he grabbed the same kind of hook chain and put it through the center of both our chains once again. With a gentle tug of his chains I followed behind him and was led to the top of the ship once again, Miyuki, Mai, and Tatsu were sitting up there sill in chains, and soaking wet. Both of their undergarments were transparent now, and I knew from the auras while Julius attached us to the hook on the mast of the ship.

Miyuki looked at us with a light smile," You both alright?"

Collapsing onto her while she exclaimed," Woah, Usagi are you alright? Why does she have such nasty bruises?"

Dai spoke up," The hooks on the ceiling were to high up so by the twelve hour she was strained and being flung around. She was on the tips of her toes the entire time, so once she lost the majority of her strength she kept waking her legs on the wooden bench."


Centurion Marcus handed me a cup of water," Drink up."

I weakly took the cup from his hand while I whispered," Thank you."

Bringing the cup to my lips while Miyuki, took the bottom," I got it."

Drinking the cup of water while Mai chuckled," I haven't seen her this worn out in a while, not sense I first instructed her in kenjutsu, or what you romans call sword combat."

Centurion, who I had just learned his name was Amor, the only one I hadn't met, questioned," How good is she at sword fighting?"

Mai responded," Against any of you Centurions she would lose. However, any of your ordinary soldiers she would decimate them to a certain age."

The last Centurion the one who was about to grope me and tinged with a high level of lust within his aura, I had just learned his name, Diodorus questioned," What age is that?"

"If I had to guess I am nineteen almost twenty, but I am a kage level kunoichi who specializes in kenjutsu and Raiton ninjutsu, anyone around Elite Jounin level so for a roman soldier around the age of thirty," Mai responded while looking at me while he snorted," A child like her is no match against even our newest recruits."

Miyuki snorted, while he spat," Want to say something slave? You might have been a warrior at one point but you are nothing more than a slave and a concubine or a whore for the princeps."

Miyuki narrowed her gaze," Oh she could easily end you if you even went up against her genjutsu."

He stepped forward his hand on his blade when Julius, moved his hand in front of his hand, stopping him from drawing his blade, when he questioned," I heard you mention when we first took you into slavery, you mentioned your little sister, which is Usagi obviously, was skilled in it. What does it do exactly?"

Mai spoke gently," Usagi you would be better at explaining it then any of us. Can you do it?"

Centurion Diodorus snorted," What is she mute?"

Miyuki snarled, her killing intent flaring," First of all she isn't mute, second of all she is scared, third she is exhausted, fourth shut up!"

Julius narrowed his eyes," Watch it, he is right you are slaves and he is an officer of the first legion.

Sitting up I took a shaky breath," I can do it Mai-neesan. Genjutsu is the art of illusions, illusions that can trick you into seeing, hearing, feeling, or touching something. Some even change perception and the world. I caught your praetor in one when he first captured us and he didn't even realize it I could have ended his life then and there, I can sense your auras and it is far weaker than that Praetor, and you are weaker than him meaning I could do the same to any of you."

My voice while soft and slightly nervous while Centurion Amor mused," That is terrifying to think of, a child less than half our age is capable of taking any one of us by messing with our senses, though I have a feeling that isn't the end of it."

I nodded in confirmation as he crouched in front of me," Your illusion art is far more dangerous than you are telling us? We have had several soldiers that went up against you and they were pretty much brain dead. What can your illusions actually do?"

"Could destroy ones mental state, especially when I use my bloodline," I whispered terrified at how insightful this roman Centurion was as he smiled," Thank you for answering, no need to be so scared of me out of us Centurions I am the most harmless."

Tatsu nodded," Can vouch. He joked with me during the storm."

Mai and Miyuki nodded in agreement while Centurion Marcus chuckled," True. Anyone who can listen to his jokes and humor is one to fear."

Tatsu smirked," Cause I have a sense of humor just as good as his?"

Centurion Diodorus spun on his heel and left, in anger, while Centurion Julius grunted," No. Cause we don't need our ears to bleed."

Leaning against Miyuki I whispered," Your sense of humor is terrible Tatsu-nii."

He gapped at me," You wound me Usagi, I thought I was your precious Aniki?"

Mai chuckled while I closed my eyes falling asleep hearing Miyuki snort," Well I am going to sleep here, Usagi is tired just like the rest of us."

With those words, I felt Usagi pull me onto her lap and I leaned against her chest falling asleep quickly.
