"I just...hate him so much! I keep seeing glimpses of his and my past when I even look at him! How sad and painful it is for me!!!" I wept while still feeling so angry at the same time.

"I understand that as well, despite that you're a priestess and having the power of foresight that you were born with...

I'm a priest and I have similar abilities like you do too. Remember?" Yachio continued as he kept rubbing my back soothingly.

I nodded as I sniffed and wiped my eyes.

"Yes. I know and remember that very well..." I replied. "...But, now I'm sounding like a bully and a snotty little damsel in distress than a priestess and the lady of Noe Town that I am..."

"Don't say stuff like that...I don't even think that you sound like a bully or a snotty little damsel in distress..." Yachio said as he suddenly grasped my paw.

I suddenly blushed a little after Yachio did that.

He hadn't done that to me in a long time. The last time he did it was when we were 12.

"A-Are you sure?" I asked.

Yachio nodded.

"Yes. I'm sure and serious about this, Lukari." Yachio replied.

"O-Okay..." I said before Yachio letted go of my paws.

I had never felt such terrible anger in my entire life.

It is frightening.

I have to be careful or else I could be manipulated by my own anger, fear including sorrow and probably wind up becoming one of them.

Or worse...

A monster.

I have to keep it under control and not let those emotions get to me.

I helped myself to another piece of chocolate to calm myself again.

"Is there a basement in this house?" I asked.

Yachio nodded as he took me over there.

-In the basement-

I inhaled in and letted out a sigh before looking over at Yachio.

I nodded my head at him, giving Yachio the message to start the genjutsu sparring.

Yachio nodded back and then clapped his hands together.

"Genjutsu! Death's Sparring!!!" Yachio says before he slammed both of his palms on the floor.

Then the illusionary sparring began.

~Inside The Illusion~

-Doki Doki-

I took in a deep breath before letting it out again as I closed my eyes, feeling my heart pound in my chest with a slow steady beat.

Following along to the rhythm of every beat.

Clearing my mind of everything that has happened to me so far from 20 days ago to now.

As I continued inhaling and exhaling, my ear suddenly twitched as I heard the sound of a flying metal kunai heading towards me in a rapid speed.

I quickly caught the kunai as I suddenly snapped my eyes open.

-Doki Doki-

Then came the attacker.

The illusionary attacker started hurling more kunais at me.

I dodged them with ease as I started to move really fast.

Then I ran at the attacker and slashed it in half, using the kunai that I caught.

I heard more metal come flying at me.

Swords, spears, more kunais, sickles, and very sharp but dangerous chains.

I dodged all of them and quickly snatched one of the swords that came flying in my direction before more of the illusionary attackers appeared.

That was my cue.

I started to cut more of the illusionary attackers in half as they came running in my direction.

Eventually, more and more kept coming and started to attack me as I dodged their weapons and countered.

-Doki Doki-

As more continued to appear, the deadlier ones started appearing...
