"What do you not want? " He asked. "I can't. " She buried her face on the crook of his neck. "I don't want to marry someone I don't know. " She said. He gasped at this.

He recalled every single word she said in his mind. It hurts him. He shouldn't have even a single feeling and emotion for his master because he's just an employee. "Your mom and dad married each other by the power of their parents too. " He said. She nodded. He was seated on a chair while she laid on her bed. They are both in the cottage. He stood up from his chair and headed to the bathroom. After a few minutes he went out with cloth in his hands. "May you change first before you sleep? " Even though he accepted what she wants, to become her friend, he still hasn't loose his manners for the young lady. He helped her and up from the bed. She nodded and left to change. After a few minutes, she stepped out the bathroom in a pastel pink long sleeved dress that reached just below her knees. She laid on her bed and looked at him. "Good night." He smiled at her as she does. "Sleep well. " She whispered. It was loud enough to be heard. Caden laid down on his bed and drifted himself off to sleep.

"Grandpa, she doesn't even deserve everything you give to her! " Mike shouted. "Mike, Aissle is a weak girl but she can be fix. " Henry said. His sister, Wendy, showed up in a corner and gave him a mocking smirk. "Man, just shut up. Aissle is the strongest that have been brought in this family so just accept it, geek. " She said. At the time he saw Wendy for the first time he knew that he wouldn't like her. She was a jerk to him. He give him lots of stressful words that annoyed him. He gritted his teeth and looked away. "Grandpa, you just said she's weak! " He shouted. Henry chuckled and patted Mike's head. "Weak by emotion. " He winked. Mike groaned in annoyance and disappointment. "Let me replace her! I won't get lost in my emotions. " He exclaimed. Henry gave him a serious look and laughed. "My boy, you're a bright child. We do not want to replace her, she's the strongest in the whole family. " He said.

The old man feel from his bed when a yawning girl slammed his door open. "Grandpa, I'm going out. I want to buy mallows myself. " She said. "Don't tell mama. " She informed. The old fan knew how much she loved mallows. "I suggest you to use your own money. " Her eyes turned blank. "What? I have no money. " She replied shrugging. "Earn for it. " He said whilst going back up on his bed to continue his disturbed sleep. She slammed the door close.

She headed out the mansion with a jacket but without money with her. She stopped by the fence as the boy vowed. "Good morning, my lady. " He greeted. "Please note that I may not return for a few days. " She winked. He nodded. She left their family's circle.

Aissle wandered around trying to figure out where to earn money. She spotted a 800 storey building. A game. She smiled at this. She entered the building and headed to the cashier. "Yes little girl, do you want to bet or to buy a ticket? " The cashier asked. She looked around and looked back to her. "I wanna fight. " She said. The cashier's jaw dropped. "H-huh? " She stuttered. "Can you explain me how to fight here? " She asked. The cashier was being dumb for being stunned and deaf. "Hey! " She shouted. "Yes yes, you just have to beat your opponent but you cannot kill unless you have reached the 90th level. " She nodded and asked for a form. She signed up and put the date of her battle today. "Oh, how much will I get when I pass this first stage? " She asked thinking about the money. "Just a fifty dollar for the first level. " She said. She sighed and sat on the bench until she was called by the speaker. She stood up and headed to the battle place in the second floor. She stood in a hidden place until she was called. The door opened. She walked out and went to the ring. There stood a big man. "Huh? Is this a little girl I see? " He mocked. "Looks like we have a child for the level 1 today! " The broadcaster shouted causing everyone to shout too. She let him attack him first. She blocked his punch with her one hand. She licked her lips and winked at him. She crunched his fist with her one hand that caught the man's punch. The man screamed in pain. "Woah! Here's a monster kid! " The broadcaster exclaimed causing everyone to shout and cheer. The man aimed for another punch but she also caught it. She did the same to his other fist. She disappeared from his front and appeared behind him. She stepped on his upper legs with force. She gritted her teeth with a grin. He fell on his front. The referee counted 1-3. He was about to get up but he realized that she just broke his knees. The broadcaster cheered and people shouted. She waved at them and the referee told her she'll go to the 20th floor. She left to get her 50 dollars. She wasn't injured so she's going to have another match for today. As she was going to the cashier she bumped into a boy. Both guard's are down. They fell on the ground. "Hey. " The boy called in a rude way. He looked up to see the one that bumped into him. She looked at the boy too. "Sorry, stranger. " It sounded rude. Even though that is how she replied, he find her very familiar. He looked away and stand up. "W-wat's your name? " He stuttered while running his fingers through his hair. "Uh, why do you asked? " She asked feeling awkward. "Nothing. " He replied also feeling awkward. She sighed. "Aissle. " She said. He gasp but quickly moved on. "Zen. " He replied. They shake hands. "I'm 13." She said, looking forward on having a new friend. "Me too. " He gave him a smile. They sat on a bench. "Why are you here? " She asked thinking about the fluffy food she was into. "Hm, my dad told me that this place to test me. "He answered. Her mouth shaped an o. "Interesting. What's your dad's job? " She asked getting really curious. "Well, maybe it's too early to tell you. " He said. She just nodded. "How about you? " He asked. "Oh, I need money to buy marshmallows. " Her eyes we're twinkling. "I saw your match, isn't 50 dollars enough? " She glared at him. "Enough? I need lots! " Weird he thought.

"Zen of 30th floor, Zen of 30th floor. "

The speaker called. He stood up and gave her a smile. "Bye, I'll see you later. " He said and left her. She nodded and looked at the big screen in front of her, the battle of Zen and the Wheeler. She thought that the name is weird.

Zen counted as he got to the ring. Everyone was shouting while the broadcaster is informing everyone everything she sees. The fat man in front curled up and suddenly rolled towards him. "I trained to be in this form! " He informed. He stopped when he saw that his opponent wasn't moving. He stood up and thought that his ability can't be used in this person. He thought that he'll just have a hand to hand combat. He attacked the boy but in his surprised the boy appeared on top of him, falling down on him. He was shocked, guard's down. The boy landed on his head. He earned a punch on his forehead. Zen hopped down as the fat man fell down. "Good enough. " He waved.

She punched his shoulders in a friendly way as he did. "Good job. " She winked.

"Aissle of 20th floor, Aissle on 20th floor. "

He nodded at her. He headed to her next battle and did the same moves that she did a while ago, break their bones.

"30th floor. "

She nodded. She headed to the cashier to get 1000 dollars. She thought that it's quite funny. She started on 50 dollars and now she's receiving 1000 after her second fight. She spotted Zen on the bench they we're sitting a while ago. "Hey" She called. She sat beside him. "How many days do you plan on staying here? " She asked. "Until Saturday. " He said. "You're quite like me. " She chuckled. "Huh? You too? " She nodded. It's Tuesday today. Four more days until Sunday.
