The Quest For Power

"I'll let you be by your self for a little bit." he slowly got up out of the chair. Then peted her head for a second.

Toshi just pressed her face against the pillow harder, and imploded.

Aiden was actually downstairs, in the garden, looking down at the dry fountain Toshi loved to play in.

Yuudai walked outside to get some freash air. Then stumbled to see Aiden and almost yelled at him, "Do you know what you have caused? She is crying her eyes out because of you. Go up there. She'll be happy to see you again."

"You do it. She loves YOU, remember?" he said, still looking at the fountain.

Yuudai walked up to him and grabbed Aiden's shirt to drag him up to Toshi, but Aiden woulden't budge. "What do you want me to say? Yea she loves me, but I told her what you said you were going to do, she loves you too."

"She loves you more, remember?" he said, sighing.

"She is crying her eyes out because you arn't here. Go talk to her. It would make her very happy, and it'llmake her happy."

"Fine. But you're coming with." He sighed and went up to Toshi's room, where she really was crying into her pillow. Aiden got onto the bed, poking her. "Oi. Kid."

"Looks like I could convince Aiden to come. He was just outside." Yuudai added as he walked in. Hoping that Aiden would calm her down.

"MMPH!" Toshi turned away from the two and kept silently crying.

"...Yuudai, try kissing her." Aiden poked Toshi again as she stiffened when he spoke.

"No. Right now, she wants you, butremember, I told you, I told her about the memory wiping. Thats's what she is sad about."

"I don't think she wants me," he said, trying to hug her. "...can you step out? Just for a minute."

"Me? Sure thing. I'll be in the kitchen if ya need me." and he exited the room to go to the kitchen as he said.

After he was out, Aiden locked the door. He forcefully made Toshi lay down on her back, and pulled up her shirt to expose her bare, white back. Then he took out a small scalpel and started to cut into her skin, making her scream. "Aiden-sama....!"

Yuudai heard her, loud and clear. He had a huge erge to go up there, but he told himself that whatever Aiden was doing, it was something that would help Toshi. Even if its painfull.

Aiden came down after a few screams, wiping her face. "She's such a masochist...you can go up now."

Yuudai looked at him inquizitly. Then walked upstairs, worying about Toshi. What had Aiden done to her? He walked to her room and knocked on the door. "Can I come in?"

"Sure!" Toshi chirped happily, and opened the door for him, smiling. "What's wrong?"

"You were screaming a minute ago. What did Aiden do to you. You were really loud. What happened?"

"I was screaming?" she squeaked, embarrassed. "Ooopsie... I didn't mean to worry you." Toshi smiled, hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.

"What happened? Do you still know who Aiden Akuma is?" he was hoping that he didn't wipe Toshi's memory. If he did, then Yuudai was going to go on a small guilt trip.

"Hm, who? Oh, you mean uncle Aiden?" she asked dreamily. "He says I have to go back to Kusa soon. So... I have to leave you. Sorry, Yuudai..."

"Oh. Thats fine." replied with relieve. At least Aiden didn't erase Toshi'smemory. So he didn't mind that she had to leave.

"Yeah." She sighed. "I'm going to be a slave to the Akuma family."

"Oh okay- WHAT!??? WHY WOULD YOU EVER DO THAT!? ARE YOU CRAZY!? THATS NUTS!"
