Fight Me

The following morning I awake to the sound of someone pounding on my bedroom door. I curl into my duvet into response, not wanting to be wrenched out of the best sleep I've had in weeks. Unfortunately, the knocking is incessant.

I haul myself out of bed before trudging over to the door with a groan. I swing it open to reveal Suguru with his arm up, most likely poised to knock again. He's wearing a black sweater paired with casual black joggers and I look him up and down nonchalantly before fixing my gaze on his face.

"You're up." He comments and I nod in response. What a stupid thing to say, it's obvious I'm up considering I'm the one opening the door. I'm sure a sign of annoyance flashes across my face briefly before he continues speaking. "I thought we could start training today."

"Sure." I say as I brush one of my hands over my face in an attempt to keep my eyes open. "Does it have to be this early?" In response Suguru raises a single eyebrow at me, as if to say, 'I'm letting you stay in my house and you're going to complain?'. I wave my hand in front of myself in response, conceding defeat. "Give me five minutes." I tell him as I shut the door swiftly before he can reprimand me without words any further.

Maybe I should be more grateful to Suguru. After mulling it over in bed before I fell asleep yesterday, his motives for keeping me around might not be awful after all. For example, he could be telling me the truth. He could want to train me so I can remain loyal to the Suguru clan in the future. Then again, it's a lot of effort for him and minimal return. Then again, the reason I'm in danger is because of him. All signs point to Shiu being killed by the Kamo clan, who most likely hired me to kill Suguru in the first place in my failed job a few days ago.

It is possible that Suguru has some kind of sympathy and feels guilty for me ending up in this situation, and that's why he's decided to take me into his home. But after evaluating this theory, I've come to the conclusion that this isn't the case. Everything that Suguru says, everything he does, seems fake. It's sinister, you can't quite put a finger on what about him makes you feel on edge.

It could be his appearance, his harsh jawline, his charming smile which lulls you into a false sense of security or his raw strength which surpasses that of everyone else I've fought. But most of all, I think it's his voice. Each word is laced with deception. He purposefully changes his tone to evoke seduction, and sometimes I'm sure he wants to you know what he's saying is a lie. He keeps up this facade to such an extent that the lines between reality and falsehood become blurred, and you can't differentiate the lies from the truth. That's what makes Suguru so dangerous.

And yet here he is, waiting outside my bedroom door to train me, to supposedly make me stronger. I can't help but shake the feeling this is all just one big joke, that I'm being played and toyed with, only to be cast aside at a later date once I don't amuse Suguru and Satoru anymore. Despite this, there's one thing that I'm sure of, and it's that I'm safe with them for the time being. The imminent danger is outside of Suguru's estate. Once I figure out how to get myself out of the firing line for whoever killed Shiu, I can return home. At the moment, I'm safe here.

After changing out of my pyjamas and getting into simple workout clothes, I exit my room to find Suguru now gone. As I make my way down the corridor and towards the kitchen at the end of the hall, I see that both Suguru and Satoru's doors are shut. I enter the kitchen and see that it's empty before making my way over to the fridge. At least this means I'll be able to grab some breakfast.

I take out an apple and pour myself a glass of orange juice before sitting on a stool by the kitchen island. As I begin to eat my breakfast, a voice startles me.

"That was longer than five minutes." I hear Suguru say from my right and I almost fall of my stool out of surprise. I turn to face him and see that he's entering through the open shoji doors to the garden, meaning it's not like I completely missed him when I walked in. I turn back to my apple before replying.
