He opened his glowing red eyes and let it scan its surrounding when a voice suddenly echoed in his brain saying something over and over again until he felt as if those words were piercing his skin like needles until his eyes started to bleed

              *****

You Keika opened his eyes as he felt a sting on his wrist and shoulder. He hissed to the pain and looked at his wrist and to his shock his wrist was chained by some magical chain usually used for chaining spirits in exorcism activities.

He then realized that he was in some abandon place lying in a metal bed with his wrist chained and shoulder stinging as hell
His pure emerald green eyes scanned the room he was trapped in not realizing how long he was missing

'Tanmoku--'he tried to call Tanmoku ki in his mind but was immediately cut off by a sharp knife landing on the table next to his head, very close that he could've had a scar on his face if he was still alive by now but ofcourse he only felt the pain. He gritted his teeth from the inside as he tried to contain the pain.  "Well, well" He heard someone said and from the corner of his eyes he noticed someone standing
He couldn't answer because his mouth was taped shut

'who is this guy and what does he want from me?'

He ask in his mind
"You dont have to know"The guy answered which made You keika confused as to how did he entered and interrupted the telepathy that only links Tanmoku ki and him.

"Dont be confused. You'll know me soon enough" The mysterious guy uttered as he took a few steps forward while You Keika was struggling to free himself from the chains 

As the guy approaches him, he noticed that the guy was holding something in his hand, something that look like a whip and another...chain?
His eyes widened as different scenarios flashed in his brain flooding his mind with many questions and worries
The guy wore a mask
Covering his whole face which makes it difficult for You keika to recognize his face. The guy whispered in his ears
"You'll be a good boy"

*Crash!!!*

A loud crash can be heard
across the magnificent grand hall of  the Tanmoku mansion, servants and buttlers were rushing towards where the loud crash came from–the dining area where most who witnessed the previous scene were utterly panicked and some were even on their feet.

"Tanmoku ki! What were you thinking?!" his grandmother instinctly yelled at him making him freeze in his spot
He looked at the crying girl before him kneeling and apologizing repeatedly
"The Youmeshi should always be aware of his actions, what do you think youre doing now?" Tanmoku's gaze darted towards the guy Who's now talking like an older brother which he is. Tanmoku ki fixed his posture before leaving everyone in the dining hall

As he walk through the hallway, he reminized the scene that he just made earlier:

As the servants were serving the family,one of them approached Tanmoku ki to offer him a glass of water which is ofcourse normal but little do they know that Tanmoku ki find this odd, not to mention what he just heard awhile ago in the kitchen.

It's just sad that everyone in the family never thought that traitors can be everywhere and that they can't easily let their guards down so Tanmoku ki had to do the action on his own.

"Stop it" Tanmoku Ki said plainly but the girl didn't listen instead she began to pour water and fill his glass. Tanmoku ki clenched his fist and then threw the glass of water across the room. Everyone was dumbfounded and scared because of it including the dumb girl who is now kneeling and apologizing to him to god knows what reason

Well if that girl only knew what he knew.

Tanmoku ki stopped at his trail and realized that he had stopped in the place where he first met Shinryu Shouken
He kneeled down to the ground with his face covered with his palm and whispered  "What is happening to me.."

Just then a familiar voice echoed in his mind 
"Tanmoku ki.."
