"Kazumi will not be killed, but instead he will go into intense training with constant supervision before he is allowed back on the premises." The crowd was stunned and for a second nothing happened. Then a wave of yelling came from the stands.
"What the fuck"
"Kill the bastard, he's a danger!"
The minister roared, "Silence, my decision is final." And with that, Kazumi was escorted out of the room and put back in the cellar. Kazumi spent the next week in his prison cell not sleeping once to avoid contact with the monster inside him. Kazumi's eyes were half-closed when he finally heard footsteps coming from the dark stairs in front of him, it was Asashi, Kazumi's eyes went from half-shut to glowing in an instant.
"Finally" Kazumi sounding defeated. Asashi responded with
"Don't get too excited this next part isn't fun"
"Anything is better than this trust me "Kazumi said. As he left the cell, the lights felt like they were burning his eyes out. Kazumi still was extremely tired from not sleeping for days but he kept following his older brother. He eventually got into a car outside and they started driving off-road, Kazumi had his head on the window thinking about his hearing and his circumstances. Suddenly the car stopped but Asashi didn't get out, Kazumi got out and looked around, he couldn't see anything, he peeked his head back into the car and said
"Hey why did we stop, and where's our 5-star hotel?"Asashi got out of the car without answering the question and put his hand on the . The tree opened like a door and Asashi shimmied his way through. Kazumi didn't even react, nothing surprised him anymore, Asashi peeked back through the door and said
"Come on, what are you waiting for" Kazumi headed over to the tree and looked through the door. He peered through and saw a massive open field with waterfalls in each direction but straight ahead was a small cabin with the lights already on. Butterflies flew all around, Kazumi he felt so happy to be in the sun again. But as he was thinking about the beautiful place he heard the door slam closed, but nobody was there, Kazumi shook his head and looked again, this time there was a tiny man standing outside the door looking furious. Kazumi felt like he was walking towards his death, they finally made it to the cabin and the old man was even smaller than he thought and, he had a seamlessly bald shiny head and a long goatee.
"So this is what all the fuss is about huh?" the old man said loudly
"Don't go too hard on him all right?", Asashi said jokingly Kazumi gave out an awkward smile. Kazumi went to give the old man a handshake but as soon as he had reached his hand out he felt a stinging slap hit his hand away at lightning speed. Kazumi was surprised by the geezer's speed.
"Rest up for tonight, we start early tomorrow," the old man said turning toward the other side of the room. Kazumi couldn't keep his eyes open but he didn't want to confront his demons. He finally gave in and went to lie down on his bed when he heard Asashi say
"Hey, it's going to be okay you just have to master this new power you ha-
"Why didn't you tell me about this" Kazumi said softly
"I just didn't want to get you involved until you were ready for what's out there," Asashi said
"What do you mean what's out there-"
"Just get some sleep Kazumi I'll see you tomorrow" Kazumi was done with all these lies and bluffs that he had been told. Kazumi wanted to resist the urging pain of not sleeping but he couldn't his eyes dozed off and there he was back in the room that he execrated with all his heart. Kazumi kept thinking about why this was all happening and why he had to have a dragon inside him. Then from across the black room, he heard
"Miss me?"
