Psychological torture

Eric's POV

Those two girls just left.Kaito and I started walking.We saw Miyabi and Tomoe to the ground.Miyabi was stuggling to get up.

"What happened to you?"

"A strange man with a woman attacked us."

"Kaito,can you take Tomoe to her home?"

"Yes."

"I will take Miyabi home."

"You don't need to do that Eric.I can do it.Thank you for the offer."

Miyabi got up and started walking.So Kaito told me we could take Tomoe to her house together.

Miyabi's POV

While I was ready to go home,I saw someone lying to the ground.

"Kariya!"

"Miyabi...A woman attacked me.She..."

"Don't talk.First,you need treatment."

"Same goes with you."

"Kariya!Miyabi...What happened?"

"Kurumi..Kariya is hurt."

"I will take care of both of you."

"Fine..."

So both of us went to Kariya's home.He looked worried and sad.For a strange reason I didn't see Benihime.Kurumi then started treating our injuries.

Benihime's POV

When I opened up my eyes I was in a strange room.But it was more than a jail than a room.The boy who I saw earlier came to me.

"I am glad you woke up.My master wanted to see you."

"Your master?"

"She is awake master."

When he came in the room I saw him!Even though his appearence was different,I recognised him.

"You can leave us now Morte."

That boy Morte,left us.He was the one who told me to come with him.

"What's wrong my dear?"

"It's you..."

"I am impressed that you recognized me.You are smarter than I thought.You don't need to be shy.Now you are my guest."

He had these scary eyes.He could see that I was scared and I bet he enjoyed it.

"I am sorry my dear but I have to go."

So he closed the door.I felt more like a prisoner than a guest.

Miyabi's POV

I finally woke up after passing out.But I felt somethings was wrong.Kariya and I were healed.He took me home.And he met my parents.I told them everything that happened.I lost my confidence in me.

I was struggling with my training.Dad saw me and talked to me.

"You lost you confidence and fighting spirit."

"I won't deny it.I was scared,back there.My blade was also broken.I felt so...weak."

I started crying like a kid.

"I can't imagine how hard it was.Do you have something to protect?"

"I want to protect my family and my friends.That's why I am fighting."

"You are not alone.I am always going to help you."

"But I don't want to bother you..."

"It's not bad ask help from the others.But you will end up alone if you do all the things by yourself.I know why you are doing that.Because you don't want to be a burden to the others.

You don't want them to feel sorry for you.That's what I thought when I was at your age."

"You...did?"

"Yes.I was alone.I only had my sensei.He was more like a father to me.I was bullied too.I know that feeling of blaming yourself for not being strong."

I never imagined my dad had a rough time.Suddenly he hugged me.

"Dad...thank you."

"You don't need to thank me.Well are you ready to start a new training?"

"Yes sir!"

He just smiled at me.In the next day we started a new training.We went to the snowing mountains.It was so cold!So we started fighting while it was snowing.He was so fast.

He could easily dodge my attacks.Lucky me,I could deflect his attacks.

"Not bad.But remember,you must use all your skills in a battle."

He was right.But the problem was that I couldn't use some certain skills when I ever wanted to do it.We continued fighing by using only our pcysical skills.

Benihime's POV

While I was in the cell,i started remembering things from the academy a week ago.

Flashback

I saw Miyabi finished talking with the boys.

"Hi Miyabi."

"Benihime...Hi.Are you ok?"

"Yes.What about you?"

"I'm ok."

"Miyabi...I wanted to ask you something..."

"Sure.Go ahead."

"Do you want...to go out,together after the lessons...You know,in the evening..."

"I would love to.But I promised to help Jun."

"Ok.I understand."

End of flashback

But Miyabi and Jun looked like they became closer.I won't deny it.Yes,I was jealous of Jun because she seemed to get close with Miyabi.Then I remembered an other memory.

Flashback

"Lately Jun and Miyabi seem close."

"Yes.They do..."

"Why you have that sad face?"

"I don't it's just...I am bit tired."

"Are you sure?Then why are you blushing?"

"Tomoe!"

"I am just teasing.Well I don't believe the rumors which say Jun and Miyabi are dating."

"Really?"

"Yeah.Rumors are only rumors unless there is a proof that they are real."

"Right."

"Don't worry about Miyabi..."

"What do you mean?"

"You are his friend too.You are important to him.He wouldn't replace you."

"Tomoe..."

Then she hugged me.

End of flashback

I wasn't sure if I really was important to him.I hope Miyabi is safe.I also hope my brother and the others are ok too.

Miyabi's POV

A week passed.My confidence was restored.I was becoming stronger.But still...Benihime didn't show up at the academy.Eric said that she had a fever.That's what her brother told her.

I went to her brother.I asked to see her.He said I couldn't.Until he told me the truth.

"Benihime is gone missing!Kurumi and I are searching everywhere for her but we can't find her."

"When was the last time you saw her?"

"It was before that strange woman attacked me.I told her to go.After the battle.She didn't come back."

"When did that woman attacked you?"

"It was one week ago."

"I was attacked too a week ago.So did the others."

"Could they be connected?"

The next day we gathered with the others.I told them the truth about Benihime.All of them were shocked and worried.We tried to search for her but...We didn't found her.I went home.

My mum saw I wasn't good.I didn't eat anything.The memories came to my mind.I remembered when I was walking in the hall.We were having our break.Suddenly I heard Tomoe talking to Benihime.

They said they were rumors that Jun and I were dating because we seemed so close the last days.But that wasn't true.Jun isn't a bad girl.She is pretty,she is smart but she isn't my type.

It's natural for two friends to hang out sometimes.Benihime sounded sad.She was thinking that she doesn't have a place in my life anymore.

Then I remembered Benihime saying that she doesn't really trust professor Adder.She sounded scared.I left before they would realise I had heard them.

Benihime only wanted to to help me to come close with the others.She was the only one who learned about my past.Suddenly a knock on my door interupts my thoughts.It was my mum.

"Honey,I am worried about you.You didn't eat anything.Is something wrong?"

"Benihime is gone missing.The others and I tried to look for her.But she isn't anywhere.I have a bad feeling about this mum.And we don't have a clue where she is."

Mum just hugged me.

"Don't stop looking for her.Your father and I will help you."

"Thanks mum."

"How about you eat a snack at least?"

"Ok."

Benihime's POV

The blurry visions I saw the past few days were clear to me.I saw talking with Miyabi in his house but I couldn't hear the convesation in the vision.

I saw someone who was Morte showning my friends and my brother getting hurt.I saw Him,who came near to me.He has these eyes.I feel scared whenever his around.I couldn't sleep again.

I couldn't control my powers.Morte came to my jail.

"Stop making everything floating right now!"

I even used psychic on him and started straggling him.Until he came in.When his eyes met mine,I was scared.I stopped psychic.Morte was free.

His power was so big which easily made me to fall to the ground.

"Master,allow me to teach her a lesson."

"Morte,we need her alive and you know that.I apologize for his behavior.Don't worry I have something that will make you sleep."

He came closer to me.From my panic I used Saiki shokku (psychic shock) on him directly.But it didn't do anything.

"I know you didn't do that on purpose.You just in shock state.But I will fix it."

Morte used a sealing spell on me.I wasn't able to move.He came closer to me.He was holding a syringe and used it on my neck.I screamed from the pain.Morte realised me from the sealing spell.

Then I started feeling dizzy.

"The problem is fixed.Have a good night my dear.Let's go Morte."

"Yes sir."

They left.I was lucky I fell to my bed.I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
