Back to You - Dan Heng IL, Blade

4. Someone He'd Cherish

"Can we hug now? If this is an illusion that soon will be gone, I want to make sure I hug my best friend" Dan Heng sighed as he let the man pulling him outside the dungeon "OH MY GOD!" he shouted and the guards for a moment turned towards the half dragon

"YINXING, YINXING!" he exclaimed trying to make the man turn towards him, but he was keeping his fierce stare, moving forward "Damn, what is this? It's like a super cool manor we saw in those dramas" he laughed "Do you remember when we were so in love with that one with the Emperor having that witch as concubine?"

Blade turned towards Dan Heng "Are you... Do you wish to die so badly? Speaking of the Emperor and his concubines to me? Ah... You think you're safe because you're the Holy Healer?" he asked with an evil smirk and he got more irritated as he noticed Dan Heng laughing

"Sorry, I can't see you like this, Yinxing. It's like you're playing the bad cop in the typical dynamic"

"Bad... cop?" he asked confused to then gnash his teeth "I know it's hard to kill you but I can make your life a living hell till you don't decide to stop this act."

"What act?" Dan Heng sighed to then enter in the manor, seeing people bowing to Blade. He started to feel weird and confused.

The hold Blade had was strong and he was actually feeling it... His logical side was shouting that he was living in a real world... But another side of him was rejecting the idea because how was it possible to have Yinxing alive there? It had to be a dream.

But why wasn't Yinxing recognizing him? Was he really playing with him? After all nobody really controls the dreams or illusions...

"I am not acting... I know this is not reality" Dan Heng sighed to then see Yinxing making the door slide and in no time he found himself thrown inside it "Huh? Where are we?" the room was big and it looked like the typical imperial bedroom.

"You're in my bedroom right now, Dan Heng" he replied as he was still drawing his sword and walking towards the Imbibitor, who was surprised

"Damn! That's so cool" he exclaimed running around the bedroom "Damn, even the courtains could pay off my college alone, I am feeling poor" he sighed and Blade was looking just too mad to his calm even amused reactions

"You should... be... terrified" he said annoyed "How are you able to keep the act knowing how dangerous the situation is if you don't stop that?" he asked and Dan Heng sighed

"Can you actually stop that?" Dan Heng crossed his arms "I am not acting! I am not the Imbibitor! I am just Dan Heng!" he exclaimed to then laugh "I just did half quote Harry Potter, haven't I?" he stepped back as he saw the man walking fast towards him "Wait, why aren't you laughing..."

Blade grabbed him from his clothes and threw him on the bed. Dan Heng tried to stand up but he was already pushing his hand on the neck of the Imbibitor, blocking his body with his.

"You think I won't do anything to you because the Emperor has to give me the order? You're still in my manor and I can do everything I want, Dan Heng"

"Stop it" Dan Heng felt embarassed and actually he started to feel fear. The stare of who he knew as his best friend wasn't anywhere to the usual one "I..." he tried to speak to then see him smiling evilly and leant closer with his sword

"You better be careful of what will slip out of your mouth now." he whispered and Dan Heng then decided to go for the smart way.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"... Are you seriously staying silent?" Blade looked at the Imbibitor, who took that moment as a perfect one to recollect his thoughts "Ah..." he laughed in disbelief "You... I didn't know you were such a brat."
