"let go!" I heard footsteps from behind and I turned to see.....Takeshi "T-takeshi!" I yelled for him and the guards stopped and let me go and bowed to the emperor. " Emperor Takeshi what brings you here?" I heard Eclipses fiancee bowing to him and glare at me"I'm here to pick up my lover" He pulled me to his side "lover?" She said confused thinking he was gay cause I'm dressed as a boy" Yes she's my little spy I made her dress as a boy". I looked and saw eclipse coming from behind her "Flame are u still here?" I didn't say anything and held on to takeshi " Yes she is but she doesn't want to talk to you so we will take our leave" He bows and we both leave back to the castle I tried my hardest not to cry it hurts seeing him move on...
It's been weeks since Eclipse found out it was me.... Takeshi had to leave for work and he's been gone for 4 days. I was bored and didn't know what to do so I went to go visit a
Apollo and the others and maybe eclipse, I walk to the headquarters and looked around for them, I ended up at the garden and I heard people come from behind me soon to be surrounding me and I saw eclipses fiance.
"So, your the woman that my fiance has been talking about", I look at her as she looks at me up and down judging each and every detail of my appearance. "I only came here to see my friends not your fiance" I was about to walk away and she grabs my arm "I want you to stop coming around here" I glare at her "you can't tell me what to do" I pushed her away making her fall back and her maids ran to her side helping her up "now don't touch me every again" I walked out of the garden and I was walking by a room and I heard to door slide open and I look to see.."E-Eclipse.." I covered my mouth regretting saying his name and I quickly walked off but felt my arm being pulled into a hug " l-let go..don't do this" I pushed him away but he forced a kiss on me...I missed this feeling, his lips..his soft..lips, I snapped out of it and i bit his lips then pushed him away "don't ever do that again!" I slapped him and ran off tearing up a bit " I regret coming here".
I headed back to the castle and got to the room and sighs " I can't believe I slapped him..but its for the best" looks down, I heard some footsteps coming to the room and the door slid open seeing Takeshis father and I stood up and bowed to him "hello you highness what brings u here?" He looked at me" I heard you were causing trouble down at the shinsengumi headquarters by almost poisoning the Vice Commander Eclipse" I replied" what no I didn't takeshi told me to be a spy over the-" I was cut off by his highness "Yes spy not poison the man" he glared at me " just cause the man was your last companion doesn't mean to kill him cause he has someone better"..d-did he just...at this point I snapped and went up to him and slapped him but before I could he grabbed my hand " oh so you dare slap me?" He said while gripping my wrist hard and I looked at him with his eyes glow red and he pushed me down " Guards take this little brat to that cell the special cell and the special punishment" he smirked and the guards came in and dragged me to the cell and chained my arms against the wall ugh it looks like I'm being crucified...but I wonder what the punishment is.
Moments later his Highness came back with guards" its getting late so the punishment will happen tomorrow" he said still glaring at me and he soon left. At least its tomorrow..my arms are hurting..yes I'm demon but if I use it to much...it will happen again like before..destroying my village again. I closed my eyes and waited for tomorrows punishment..
~Tomorrow~
The sun rised and today was the day of my 'Special' punishment, soon his Highness came and the guards came in and unchained me but cuffed my hands together in front of me. We walked outside to where the punishment will be held at and they chained me to a pole where I have to stay still but my face facing the pole and my back towards the guards...I think i know what the punishment is..." The punishment for trying to poison the Vice Commander will me 50 whips on the back" yep...I was right then. I got ready and gripped the chains and soon the punishment started but those whips their using isnt just normal whips on the ends of them there's sharp small blades the cut my skin t-their trying to kill me! I kept groaning from the pain on my back their barely on 17...my back stings... "T-takeshi...help" I was crying begging for Takeshi and I kept remembering his words "I'll always be there for you Flame, no one will hurt you I promise"..lies...if it was true were is he! "34...35...36" the guard is counting barely on 36...it feels like more, the pain got stronger and I got weak then I fell to my knees but they kept going but suddenly I didnt feel anymore but they were barely on 45, I weakly looked back to see....
