Shinji awoke lying on a patch of grass. He sat up with difficulty; his body felt as if it was led. The sun was shining was shining dully in between the trees and it was just above the horizon. Shinji rubbed the sleepiness out of his eyes and looked around. He was in the scattered forest.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I'd better get home…” Shinji muttered. “Papa must be worried…”

Shinji gathered his things, including his book, and stood up. But, Shinji started to hear an eerie ring sounding softly. It then started to get louder. He narrowed his eyes and covered his ears; it was getting irritating.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
`Make it stop…' Shinji thought. `Please make it stop…'
</p></div>

<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Before he knew it, the noise was unbearable. He threw his head up and yelled at the top of his lungs, “STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
He went on his knees and his head fell forward. His hands grasped his hair, enduring the noise. When he thought he was going to die of insanity, his body had shut down along with his mind, slipping into unconsciousness. He lied there, in the grass, without a single movement.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
In the shadows of some of the trees, and man stood, glaring at unconscious Shinji with bright green eyes. Green hair partially covered his eyes and was held in place with a matching head band. A darker green cape was draped over his shoulders; the clothes he wore could have made him invisible among brush and bushes. His mouth curled into a sinister smile.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
`Blue and yellow I have claimed.' He thought. `Red I found. Black, White and Master still remain hidden…. Three boys… three girls….” The man pulled out a red headband and cape and went over to Shinji. He fastened the cape over Shinji's shoulders and then stretched the head band over his forehead. On the headband, the man placed two fingers on it. He then whispered, “<i>Kaji Kanji!</i>” The Japanese kanji for “Fire” appeared on the head band then disappeared. He then turned Shinji over and marked something on the back of his neck with a sharp knife. The mark bled a little and the man lapped up the blood, kissing it afterwards.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
`There, he's branded.' The man put the knife away and then stood up and started walking away.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
`Blue, yellow, and now red I have claimed. Black, White, and Master still remain hidden.” He smiled again. `I, Midoshi, will rule soon.' He then disappeared into the shadows of the trees.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
In another set of shadows, another figured appeared. The figured moved out of the shadows to reveal to be a mere boy. He looked only twelve years of age. A yellow head band was wrapped around his head with a matching cape over his shoulders. His dark hair partially covered his black right eye. On his left ear was lightning bolt shaped earring.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The boy went over to Shinji and knelt beside him. With innocent eyes he stared at him.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
`What does Sensei want with such a person?' the boy thought. `Does he carry the Red Spirit Book?' The boy went to the other side and looked. His hand reached out to touch Shinji.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
<i>“Yomi!”</i> Midoshi's voice echoed in the boy's head.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
<i>“Hai, Midoshi-sensei!”</i> Yomi thought retracting his hands, sitting up still.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
<i>“Do not touch him! Leave him be!”</i>
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
<i>“Hai!”</i> Yomi backed away from Shinji.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
<i>“Come home Yomi Obsidian. You had enough fresh air.”</i>
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
<i>“Hai…”</i> Yomi looked at Shinji of one last time and then ran behind him into the shadows and disappeared.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">

Mr. Kuromia stared at his coffee his eyes glazed. He looked like he didn't get any sleep at all. He looked up at the other side of table where Shinji used to sit. He remembered when Shinji first sat there, eating his first breakfast with him. He smiled weakly, but it went back into a frown.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Mr. Kuromia's hands reached to the back of his neck and traced whatever it was with his finger.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“When are you going to be done with him?” Mr. Kuromia looked out the kitchen window at the trees' green leaves waving in the breeze.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Mr. Kuromia's cell phone started to ring. His took it out of his pocket lazily and opened it.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Hello, this is Kuromia.” He said. “Oh, hello…. No, it turns out I won't be able to sub today…. Sorry, just send all of my students to the computer labs. Yes, I really don't feel well today.” Mr. Kuromia looked at the tree leaves again. “No, I didn't get much sleep last night and I look horrible. Okay, sorry about that. Bye.” He closed his phone and took a sip of his coffee. Afterwards he dropped his head heavily onto the table and stared into nothingness.

Midoshi walked in a room that was filled with pitch black darkness. The air was frigid cold; sheets of ice littered the walls and small portions of the floor. Midoshi looked around in the darkness as he walked, looking for something.
</p></div>

<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
He came to a halt when panting reached his ears. He turned to his right and held his hand up.
</p></div>

<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“<i>Aoi Hikari!”</i> he said softly and a blue light hovered over his head. He pointed in front of him and Lysumo came into view, lying on the floor his shirt opened.

“Well, I guess I came a little late. Already suffering your Heat?”

<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Shut up, I have this… because of you.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Yes I know. But I made it so because I love to see your body getting excited.” Midoshi went over to Lysumo and gave him a deep kiss.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

Midoshi got off of Lysumo and put his clothes on. When he was done, he kissed the now tired and relieved Lysumo on the lips.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Continue to be good and I will stop your Heat sessions.” `Next stop, Sapphie's' he thought. He then kissed Lysumo on the forehead and disappeared along with the blue light.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Lysumo lied there in the darkness, staring into it.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Why, does he love me so? Is it even right?” he whispered. He turned on his side and his leg hit the wall. Lysumo winced, but then relaxed. “I think I'm getting sick…” Lysumo started coughing and he quickly got his cape back on. He couldn't really tell, but he fell asleep in the darkness.

Mr. Kuromia was still sitting at the table when the clock struck noon. Midoshi appeared behind him with Shinji in his arms. Midoshi took Shinji to the sofa and placed him down. He then went back over to Mr. Kuromia and wrapped his hand around his torso.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Midoshi moved close to Mr. Kuromia's ear and whispered, “Shinjimo…. I'm here.” But all he heard was Mr. Kuromia's breathing. Midoshi took his hand and moved Mr. Kuromia's hair that was tied in a pony tail away from his neck. There, the letter “M” was carved. Midoshi kissed the mark and it started to glow red.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Mr. Kuromia stirred and he held his head up. He rubbed his eyes from his sleepiness and stifled a yawn.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Afternoon, Sapphie.” Midoshi said.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Mr. Kuromia's eyes went wide and he quickly got up, knocking the chair back and moved away from Midoshi.
</p></div>

“M-Midoshi!” Mr. Kuromia said in a scared voice. “What are you doing here?!”

Midoshi looked over at the couch where he placed Shinji.

“He's quite a son you have. He has your beautiful features too.” Midoshi looked back over to Mr. Kuromia. “Tell me, what have you done to the head band and cape I gave you some years ago?”
</p></div>

Mr. Kuromia swallowed some moisture. “I…. I… lost them somewhere. I don't wear it<font color="Blue"> </font>anyway.”

Midoshi closed his eyes slowly. “Have you forgotten… my rule?” He opened his eyes back up and made a sharp glare at Mr. Kuromia, who gasped.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Mr. Kuromia looked around and started backing up as Midoshi advanced.

“My, rule was to NEVER take them off unless you go to work or out into civilian eyesight.” Midoshi unpinned his cape and threw it onto the floor. “You are currently not at work, nor are you in civilian eyesight. You are in your own house. You should be wearing them!” Midoshi swept Mr. Kuromia up and said, “<i>Teleport!”</i> They both disappeared and then reappeared in Mr. Kuromia's room where Midoshi threw him onto the bed and got on top of him. Behind them, the door shut and locked itself.

Red marks of all sizes and bleeding scratches littered Mr. Kuromia's body. He was breathing heavily and gasping. No strength was left inside, not even for him move a finger. Midoshi stood next to him, fully clothed, looking at the markings.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

“This was your punishment for defying me for the second time. Defy me again and it'll be the end of your life.” Midoshi then disappeared.

Mr. Kuromia stared at the ceiling, his eyes glazed with tiredness. He didn't speak a single word, nor did he try to move.

His eyes started to get heavy, darkness coming from the edges. He didn't fight to stay awake. He just let his eyes close, letting them take him with the darkness.

Shinji awoke lying on a patch of grass. He sat up with difficulty; his body felt as if it was led. The sun was shining was shining dully in between the trees and it was just above the horizon. Shinji rubbed the sleepiness out of his eyes and looked around. He was in the scattered forest.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I'd better get home…” Shinji muttered. “Papa must be worried…”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Shinji gathered his things, including his book, and stood up. But, Shinji started to hear an eerie ring sounding softly. It then started to get louder. He narrowed his eyes and covered his ears; it was getting irritating.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
`Make it stop…' Shinji thought. `Please make it stop…'
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Before he knew it, the noise was unbearable. He threw his head up and yelled at the top of his lungs, “STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
He went on his knees and his head fell forward. His hands grasped his hair, enduring the noise. When he thought he was going to die of insanity, his body had shut down along with his mind, slipping into unconsciousness. He lied there, in the grass, without a single movement.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
In the shadows of some of the trees, and man stood, glaring at unconscious Shinji with bright green eyes. Green hair partially covered his eyes and was held in place with a matching head band. A darker green cape was draped over his shoulders; the clothes he wore could have made him invisible among brush and bushes. His mouth curled into a sinister smile.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
`Blue and yellow I have claimed.' He thought. `Red I found. Black, White and Master still remain hidden…. Three boys… three girls….” The man pulled out a red headband and cape and went over to Shinji. He fastened the cape over Shinji's shoulders and then stretched the head band over his forehead. On the headband, the man placed two fingers on it. He then whispered, “<i>Kaji Kanji!</i>” The Japanese kanji for “Fire” appeared on the head band then disappeared. He then turned Shinji over and marked something on the back of his neck with a sharp knife. The mark bled a little and the man lapped up the blood, kissing it afterwards.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
`There, he's branded.' The man put the knife away and then stood up and started walking away.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
`Blue, yellow, and now red I have claimed. Black, White, and Master still remain hidden.” He smiled again. `I, Midoshi, will rule soon.' He then disappeared into the shadows of the trees.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
In another set of shadows, another figured appeared. The figured moved out of the shadows to reveal to be a mere boy. He looked only twelve years of age. A yellow head band was wrapped around his head with a matching cape over his shoulders. His dark hair partially covered his black right eye. On his left ear was lightning bolt shaped earring.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The boy went over to Shinji and knelt beside him. With innocent eyes he stared at him.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
`What does Sensei want with such a person?' the boy thought. `Does he carry the Red Spirit Book?' The boy went to the other side and looked. His hand reached out to touch Shinji.
</p></div>

<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
<i>“Yomi!”</i> Midoshi's voice echoed in the boy's head.

<i>“Hai, Midoshi-sensei!”</i> Yomi thought retracting his hands, sitting up still.

<i>“Hai…”</i> Yomi looked at Shinji of one last time and then ran behind him into the shadows and disappeared.

Mr. Kuromia stared at his coffee his eyes glazed. He looked like he didn't get any sleep at all. He looked up at the other side of table where Shinji used to sit. He remembered when Shinji first sat there, eating his first breakfast with him. He smiled weakly, but it went back into a frown.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

Mr. Kuromia's hands reached to the back of his neck and traced whatever it was with his finger.

“When are you going to be done with him?” Mr. Kuromia looked out the kitchen window at the trees' green leaves waving in the breeze.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

Mr. Kuromia's cell phone started to ring. His took it out of his pocket lazily and opened it.
</p></div>

<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Hello, this is Kuromia.” He said. “Oh, hello…. No, it turns out I won't be able to sub today…. Sorry, just send all of my students to the computer labs. Yes, I really don't feel well today.” Mr. Kuromia looked at the tree leaves again. “No, I didn't get much sleep last night and I look horrible. Okay, sorry about that. Bye.” He closed his phone and took a sip of his coffee. Afterwards he dropped his head heavily onto the table and stared into nothingness.

Midoshi walked in a room that was filled with pitch black darkness. The air was frigid cold; sheets of ice littered the walls and small portions of the floor. Midoshi looked around in the darkness as he walked, looking for something.

“Why, does he love me so? Is it even right?” he whispered. He turned on his side and his leg hit the wall. Lysumo winced, but then relaxed. “I think I'm getting sick…” Lysumo started coughing and he quickly got his cape back on. He couldn't really tell, but he fell asleep in the darkness.

Mr. Kuromia was still sitting at the table when the clock struck noon. Midoshi appeared behind him with Shinji in his arms. Midoshi took Shinji to the sofa and placed him down. He then went back over to Mr. Kuromia and wrapped his hand around his torso.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Midoshi moved close to Mr. Kuromia's ear and whispered, “Shinjimo…. I'm here.” But all he heard was Mr. Kuromia's breathing. Midoshi took his hand and moved Mr. Kuromia's hair that was tied in a pony tail away from his neck. There, the letter “M” was carved. Midoshi kissed the mark and it started to glow red.

Mr. Kuromia stirred and he held his head up. He rubbed his eyes from his sleepiness and stifled a yawn.

<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Afternoon, Sapphie.” Midoshi said.

<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Mr. Kuromia's eyes went wide and he quickly got up, knocking the chair back and moved away from Midoshi.

“M-Midoshi!” Mr. Kuromia said in a scared voice. “What are you doing here?!”

Midoshi looked over at the couch where he placed Shinji.

“He's quite a son you have. He has your beautiful features too.” Midoshi looked back over to Mr. Kuromia. “Tell me, what have you done to the head band and cape I gave you some years ago?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

Mr. Kuromia swallowed some moisture. “I…. I… lost them somewhere. I don't wear it<font color="Blue"> </font>anyway.”

<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Midoshi closed his eyes slowly. “Have you forgotten… my rule?” He opened his eyes back up and made a sharp glare at Mr. Kuromia, who gasped.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Mr. Kuromia looked around and started backing up as Midoshi advanced.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“My, rule was to NEVER take them off unless you go to work or out into civilian eyesight.” Midoshi unpinned his cape and threw it onto the floor. “You are currently not at work, nor are you in civilian eyesight. You are in your own house. You should be wearing them!” Midoshi swept Mr. Kuromia up and said, “<i>Teleport!”</i> They both disappeared and then reappeared in Mr. Kuromia's room where Midoshi threw him onto the bed and got on top of him. Behind them, the door shut and locked itself.

<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“You have defied a rule which defies me. Now you shall pay!” Midoshi roughly took Mr. Kuromia's clothes off and started kissing him on the neck
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Stop! Stop it!” Mr. Kuromia grunted trying to push him off. “YAMIRO!!!”

Red marks of all sizes and bleeding scratches littered Mr. Kuromia's body. He was breathing heavily and gasping. No strength was left inside, not even for him move a finger. Midoshi stood next to him, fully clothed, looking at the markings.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“This was your punishment for defying me for the second time. Defy me again and it'll be the end of your life.” Midoshi then disappeared.

<p style="text-indent: 3.12mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Mr. Kuromia stared at the ceiling, his eyes glazed with tiredness. He didn't speak a single word, nor did he try to move.

His eyes started to get heavy, darkness coming from the edges. He didn't fight to stay awake. He just let his eyes close, letting them take him with the darkness.

 I like reading stories where there is this hidden something that comes later in the story,  where Mr. Kuromia thinks to himself about telling Shinji something important that is linked to something in the past. And where Midoshi gives the head band, cape, and marking.
