Chapter Five
The Other Half
The sun was shining brightly the next day. It’s rays of light peaked through the curtains in Hana’s room, sending a soft glow into the room. Cye woke up and looked around. He wasn’t at Mia’s and he certainly wasn’t at his house. He looked down to see a sleeping Hana, who was sound asleep in his arms. Cye then remembered what had happened that night and turned bright red. “Aw man, I slept over. The guys are going to get suspicious when I get back,” Cye thought to himself and groaned as he placed one of his hands onto his forehead.
“Cye?” Hana asked.
“H-Hana,” Cye said stammered. “G-Good morning.”
“Morning,” she said letting out a yawn. “I’m sorry I put you through this mess. You must be thinking about how to explain everything to your friends when you get back to Mia’s.”
“Y-Yeah. Something like that.” Hana sat at the edge of the bed and looked at the ground. “But, you don’t have to apologize. I enjoyed what happened last night.” Cye’s face turned red again and sat up as well.
Hana just smiled and looked at him, her cheeks pink. “You can use the shower if you want. I’m sure you’re all sticky.”
Cye’s face turned even more red as he nodded. “Y-Yeah. I think that’s a good idea.”
“It’s down the hall, the last door to the right.”
“T-Thanks.”
Cye got up and walked out of the room, leaving a red faced Hana behind. It felt awkward walking in someone else’s house completely naked. He found the bathroom and shut the door behind him. It was a small bathroom that had white tiled flooring, and flowered wallpaper. Cye turned the nobs in the shower and got in. The warm water that ran down his body felt good. Cye closed his eyes and let out a sigh, just letting the water run on him. He opened his eyes seconds later when he heard the bathroom door creak open.
“Sorry Cye, but I forgot to tell you where the towels were,” Hana said, peaking through the doorway with her eyes closed.
“Oh, okay,” Cye said. “I-It’s okay Hana, you can come in if you want.”
“Uh..... a-are you sure?” Hana’s face turned red immediately.
“I’m sure.” Hana took small steps into the bathroom, her eyes still closed. “Hana, you have to open your eyes. You might get hurt if you don’t.”
With her face turning bright red she opened her eyes to see a fully naked Cye in front of her. She quickly placed her hands over her eyes and let out a small shriek. She heard Cye sigh and heard the door of the shower open. Her heart was pounding hard and fast against her chest as she heard footsteps getting closer to her. She almost jumped when she felt strong arms embrace her and the dampness of her clothing because of the wet body.
“We just spent a whole night together, why are you so embarrassed?” Cye asked softly.
“I-I don’t know,” Hana replied. She started to sweat when she felt Cye’s member on her leg. “C-Cye... I don’t think..” But before she could finish, Cye’s lips locked with her’s in a passionate kiss. “I can’t do this. If I do, it’ll be harder for me to complete the task.” Hana broke the kiss and turned away from him, tears flowing from her eyes. “I-I can’t do it!”
“Do what?” Cye asked.
“I can’t tell you.”
“Hana is something bothering you?”
“No... I mean...”
Cye walked up to her and placed his arms around her once more. “Why won’t you tell me?”
“You don’t understand.”
“Then help me understand.”
There was a long pause after that. Then without warning Hana turned around and embraced Cye tightly, tears running down her cheeks. “I love you Cye. I love you very much and I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
Cye took Hana’s face into his hands, making her look up at him. “Nothing is going to happen to me or you. I’ll protect you Hana. I’ll protect you from any danger that may cross your path.”
“Cye...” Cye’s lips touched her’s once more in a soaring kiss. Their tongues dueled with one another as Cye removed her clothing. Without her realizing it, Cye had guided her to the shower where both of them were now standing under the warm water. Hana broke the kiss once again, but this time didn’t move. She ran a finger down Cye’s cheek and looked into his eyes. “Cye?”
“What?” he asked.
“You gave me pleasure last night that I never experienced before. I would like to return the favor.” Cye blushed as he felt her hand move downward. “I want you to feel what I felt last night.” She cupped his member into her hands and began to stroke it with her fingers. Cye gasped at the feeling and held his breath. Hana could feel it getting harder as she continued to stroke it. Cye’s breathing picked up and soon he was panting as if there wasn’t any air left in the room. “You’re enjoying it... that’s good.” Hana took her hand away from him, leaving Cye with a painful expression on his face. All she did was smile as she bent lower and pretty soon was face to face with his swollen shaft. Cye’s hips buckled when he felt Hana’s tongue run over the head of his penis. Waves of burning pleasure coursed through his veins and down to his pelvis.
“H-Hana...”
She didn’t respond but instead took his member into her mouth. Cye groaned deeply at the feeling and tried to get a hold of something. Hana started sucking in a slow pace, watching the expression on Cye’s face. The steam in the room wasn’t helping at all. It just made the room more hotter and more difficult to breath. Cye grabbed Hana’s hair from behind her head and pushed her closer to him. She almost choked at the sudden movement, but didn’t stop at what she was doing. Her sucking became harder and faster as she felt his member pulsate inside her. She knew he was close and she was going to make sure it was going to be big. With one of her hands she cupped his balls and started to massage them. Cye threw his head back and groaned loudly as his grip on her hair tightened. Hana felt his penis tighten and picked up her pace. Cye let out a loud grunt as his seed spilled from him and into Hana’s waiting mouth. Load after load went into her mouth as she swallowed every single drop. Cye collapsed after his body stopped shaking from his orgasm. Hana bent down and moved his bangs from his eyes. His chest was heaving up and down as he tried to catch his breath.
“How was that?” she asked.
“You.... were wonderful,” Cye panted.
Hana blushed and kissed him softly, making him taste himself in her mouth.
“You were delicious, you know that?”
“No, I didn’t.”
Hana smiled and stood up. “Finish washing up and I’ll wait for you in the kitchen.”
“Okay.”
Hana stepped out of the shower and picked up her clothes that were lying on the ground. She gave him a wink as she walked out of the room.
Cye walked into the kitchen all dressed and ready for the day. There was breakfast on the small table and Hana was sitting in one of the chairs waiting for him.
“You made this?” Cye asked as he sat down.
“Sure did,” Hana said proudly. Cye took a bite out of his omelet and chewed slowly. “Well?”
Cye swallowed and didn’t say anything. Hana starred at him, waiting for an answer. Cye looked up at Hana and smiled. “Delicious.”
Hana’s face brightened up and a big smile ran across her face. “Thank you Cye!” Cye smiled back and continued eating his meal.
“Dude! Where is Cye?!” Kento yelled from inside the sitting room.
“I don’t know for the thousandth time!” Rowen said, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
“He didn’t come back from his date last night,” Ryo said who was lying on the couch.
“Do you think something bad had happened to them?” Rowen asked.
“Dunno, but I hope he comes back soon,” Ryo answered.
Kento just gave a snort and got up from his seat. “Well, once he does get back, he’s going to get it!”
“Relax Kento, I’ll make you something,” Mia said who was walking down the stairs.
“You’re my hero Mia,” Kento said and ran into the kitchen.
“Thank you Mia,” Rowen said.
“Not a problem,” she smiled as she passed him.
After breakfast Hana walked with Cye to the front door. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and there was hardly a breeze either.
“Thank you for last night,” Hana said.
Cye just smiled and gently kissed her on the lips. “I better get going. Knowing Kento, he’ll probably hang me for not being there to make him breakfast,” Cye said.
“He’s not really going to do that, is he?”
“Nah. He’ll probably just be up my butt for the rest of the day ranting on about how I left him there to starve to death.”
Hana giggled and hugged Cye tightly. “Be careful.”
“Be careful?”
“I-I just have a bad feeling is all. Make sure you take care of yourself.”
“I will, don’t worry.”
Cye waved goodbye and headed out the door. Hana watched him until he was out of sight.
(The time is now, Hana.)
Hana nodded slowly, a tear falling from her cheek.
When Cye reached Mia’s house, Kento was standing by the front door.
“Hm? Cye! Where have you been?!” he asked his friend as he walked up to him.
“I-I was at Hana’s,” Cye said nervously.
Kento raised an eyebrow and starred at his friend. “Ah, I see what’s going on.”
“Y-You do?”
“Sure I do. You and Hana got busy last night huh?”
Cye’s face went red at the question. “N-No, we just headed back to her place to watch a movie. I guess I fell asleep while watching it and she just didn’t want to wake me.”
“Uh huh. That’s what they all say, but I know.”
Cye ignored him and went inside where Ryo and Rowen were sitting on the couch together looking through some sort of magazine.
“Cye! You’re back,” Ryo said, getting up at once.
“Where were you man?” Rowen asked, following Ryo.
“He was at Hana’s,” Kento answered for Cye.
“Hana’s?” Ryo said.
“That’s right, he was busy last night,” Kento smiled.
“It’s not true! We were watching a movie and I fell asleep while watching it,” Cye said at once.
“Easy Cye, we believe you,” Rowen said.
“You do?” Cye asked.
“Yeah, I mean come on. With half the things Kento tells us these days, it’s hard to believe him anymore,” Ryo said with a laugh.
“Hey, not funny,” Kento pouted.
“We’re just glad you’re safe,” Ryo said.
“Why don’t you head upstairs and I’ll tell everyone else where you were,” Rowen said.
“Thanks guys,” Cye said and headed upstairs to his room.
“I’m telling you guys, that’s what he was doing,” Kento said.
“Even so Kento, it’s not your job to interfere,” Rowen said. “Cye must be totally embarrassed after what you pulled.”
“I have to agree with Rowen on this one,” Ryo said.
“Just take it easy on him, okay?” Rowen asked.
“Okay, I will,” Kento said.
The three of them went their separate ways, leaving Cye alone in his room.
“Very good Hana, it seems you gained his trust,” said a deep voice.
“Y-Yes sir, I did,” Hana said sadly.
“Why the long face child? You did what you were told and for that, your family will be spared.”
“I-I don’t want Cye to get hurt, or his friends.”
“Nonsense! This feeling you have for this mortal is useless!”
“No! I won’t believe it!”
A tall man got up from his seat and walked toward Hana slowly. He was wearing a black cap with a black shirt and pants. His eyes were small and his nose was long. He grabbed Hana by her shirt with his long fingers.
“Do not talk to me like that again! Do you understand?!” he growled.
“I don’t have to listen to you!” Hana yelled.
“Foolish girl!” The man threw Hana across the room where she banged into the back wall. “I will not have someone who disobeys me!”
Hana whimpered and tried to get up. “Y-You will not harm Cye or his friends!”
The man chuckled and walked up to her. “This thing called love, it’s nothing to me. You’ll come to your senses after your whole family is dead and gone.” He snapped his fingers and a bolt of lightening crashed down into a part of Shinjuku.
“NOOO!” Tears started to fall from her eyes as the man left her where she was.
“My spirits come! Gather around the girl and bring out the evil spirit that dwells inside her!” the man called.
Spirits entered the room through the walls and gathered around Hana in a circle in the air. They each started to hum as a dark purplish beam appeared and struck Hana from where she was. Hana screamed as the beam consumed her. She fell to the floor motionless as the beam disappeared.
“Good work my servants,” the man said.
The spirits exited the room, leaving a motionless Hana and the man alone together.
“Get up!” he demanded.
Hana rose to her feet, her head down. “Sorry master. The girl wouldn’t give into the darkness. It was a good thing you were here to help,” said a voice that was lower then Hana’s.
“You did well, Shijisha,” the man praised.
Shijisha lifted Hana’s head up and grinned at the man. The hair was the same and so was the face. But the eyes were cold and dark. “Thank you, master Akui.” She bowed low as he walked up to her.
“Now’s the time to strike. Cye of Torrent is vulnerable now and should be easy to capture,” Akui said.
“Yes and I will use the girl as the bait,” Shijisha said.
“Make sure you have her under control.”
“Don’t worry, I will.” And with that, she disappeared from the room.
“I’m going to take a walk for a little while Mia,” Cye said as he was heading out the door.
“Okay, but be careful,” Mia said from upstairs.
“I will.” Cye closed the door behind him and headed straight for the forest. He passed the tall trees and big rocks until he got to the small waterfall that he showed Hana. He sat on one of the big rocks that were there and closed his eyes. He sat there deep in thought when he heard a twig snap. “Who’s there?” He turned around and saw nothing but the trees. “It must have been a squirrel or something.”
“No, I don’t think it was a squirrel,” said a voice.
“What?” Cye turned around and saw Hana standing in front of him. “Hana?”
“Hey,” she said with a smile.
“What are you doing here?”
“I came to see you silly.”
Cye blushed as Hana walked closer. The smile that she had on changed into a frown. She stopped suddenly and dropped her head .
“What's wrong?” Cye asked, putting his hands on her shoulders. Hana looked up with tears in her eyes. “Hana did something happen?” Hana just starred at him then slapped him across the face. Holding his cheek with one of his hands he starred at Hana with a confused look.
“I’m sorry Cye,” she said sadly.
“What?” Hana just stood there, then heavy winds formed around her. “What the?” Purple aura surrounded Hana then there was a big flash. Cye uncovered his eyes and looked to see if Hana was okay. “H-Hana? Are you alright?” Hana silently laughed. “What's so funny?” She stopped and starred at Cye with her cold, hard eyes. Cye stepped back in shock. “There's something wrong with her. I can sense it.”
“What's wrong Cye. Don't recognize me?” she asked in a cold voice.
“Recognize you? I don't think I even know you,” Cye said.
“Fool. I'm that sweet, kind, innocent girl you’ve been dating.”
Suddenly everything stopped and Cye just stood there starring at the person in front of him. He couldn't believe what he just heard. There was no way that woman was Hana. It was impossible. “W-What do you want?” Cye asked.
“Nothing really,” she said, walking to Cye slowly. Cye stepped back until he hit one of the big rocks and fell over. Shijisha laughed as she continued to walk towards him. In pain, Cye tried to get up. “Oh, don't bother getting up.”
“Why?” Cye asked through clutched teeth.
“Because, what I'm about to do to you is not worth it.” She held out two hands that faced Cye, then aimed a shock of black energy at him. Cye screamed as the energy surrounded him. “H-Hana... stop....” Cye collapsed to the ground, the black energy disappearing.
“Well that was too easy.” Shijisha picked Cye up and disappeared.
“Cye isn't back yet?” Mia asked, coming from down the stairs.
“No,” Rowen said, checking his watch.
“Ryo, I'm getting nervous,” Mia said.
“Don't worry Mia. I'm sure he's on his way home,” Ryo said.
“I hope so.”
Ryo looked out the window, looking for any traces of Cye. “Cye, where are you?” Ryo thought.“Ughh..... w-where am I?” Cye asked, coming to.
“You're in master Akui’s castle,” said a cold voice.
Cye looked around and saw that he was in an empty room with his arms and legs chained to a wall. “I-I'm where?” he asked, struggling against the wall.
“Master Akui’s castle.”
“Who are you?”
"I’m Shijisha, that’s all you need to know.”
Cye grunted and starred at her. As he did, something snapped that never happened before.
“Cye....” Shijisha said in Hana's voice.
“Hana? Is that you?”
“Cye.....Shijisha is.... my other half.....”
“Other half?”
“Shut up!” Shijisha yelled, holding her head. Cye watched as she fell to the ground groaning in pain.
“Are you okay?”
“Hush!” Moonbeam snapped and shot more black energy at Cye with one hand.
“Ahhhhh! H-Hana..... don't do this....” Cye said with his eyes closed tightly.
“Cye!” Hana cried.
“Shut up!” Shijisha yelled in agony.
“Stop it Shijisha,” said another voice.
“Uh....” The energy stopped which left Cye panting hard. “S-sorry your majesty.”
“It's okay. You made him too weak to fight back for what I'm about to do,” Akui said. Spirits gathered from all around and surrounded Cye. “Spirits, activate the beam.” The spirits started hum again and a beam of black light appeared around Cye. He yelled in pain as the beam consumed him. He tossed his head left to right as an image started to appear in front of him. It was an image of Ryo and the others glaring at him .
“Ryo? Sage? Rowen? Kento? Why are you looking at me like that?” he asked.
“You are too gentle to be a Ronin Warrior,” Rowen said coldly.
“Yeah, you are a joke,” Sage smirked evilly.
“And your cooking sucks,” Kento added.
“So go away,” Ryo said in a harsh tone.
“B-but guys. Ugh.... why are they doing this to me? I never did anything wrong. We're friends,” Cye said.
“No they're not. They're just using you,” said Akui’s voice.
“Using me?” Cye asked still in pain.
“Yes. For your armors' power.”
Cye shook his head. “No! It's not true!”
“Why would we be friends with a wimp like you?” Kento sneered.
“You keep holding us back,” Sage said.
“Get away from us,” Ryo said with discust.
“They're my friends and they would never do this to me.” An image of Ryo, Sage, Kento, and Rowen appear in their armors, getting ready to attack. “Ugh!” Cye screams one last time before going limp against the chains.
“Spirits stop,” Akui demanded. The spirits disappear along with the black beam. Cye hung his head, panting hard with his eyes closed. “Shijisha, unchain him.”
“Right,” Shijisha unlocked the locks that are attached to the chains, making Cye drop to the ground.
“Get up,” Akui said. Moaning, Cye rose to his feet with his eyes still closed. “Open your eyes.” Cye obeyed and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes are a dark green color now. “Well?”
“I am ready for your command, master,” Cye said with a cold voice.
“Perfect. The brainwashing was a success.”
“Here, this is your yoroi sphere,” Shijisha said as she handed it to him.
“First mission is to destroy the Ronin Warriors,” Akui said.
“Yes master,” Cye said, bowing and then disappeared.
“Should I go with him?” Shijisha asked.
“No. Lets' test him first,” Akui said with an evil smirk on his face.
A/N: WHOO! These chapters just keep on getting longer. Which is a good thing, not a bad thing mind you. Well, I had to do a lot of editing on this chapter. I changed the villains names to Shijisha which means ‘follower’ and Akui which means ‘ malice’. Nice huh. :sighs: As for the lemon scene...... don’t ask. ^^;; I’ll get around to the next chapter soon. So sit tight. Oh and please review so I know someone is reading this thing.
