(REWRITE 2023) An Angel's Lips

Chapter 19

Yuri opened her eyes to a dark room, she slowly closed her eyes again. 'A bad dream?' Yuri rolled over and winced in a small twinge of pain came from the back of her head. 'Ow...,' Yuri sat up on her hands and cupped her forehead. "Lord Aizen?" She whispered in the dark room. 

No answer. 

Yuri looked around and gasped in shock. The room she was in looked very unfamiliar. "Where am I?" She studied the long white gown she had on.

A  soft machine sound made her jolt and the curtains slowly began to slide open and the sun lit up the room. Yuri blocked the light with her hands. Outside of the window, she could make out the city, wherever she was it was a high building. Yuri cautiously got off the bed and made her way to the window. To her left, the ocean could be seen not too far from the building and the city below. "What is this place?" Yuri turned around and looked around the room, an entryway led to a large living room area, kitchen and dining room. The place was huge, a penthouse, and a beautifully decorated one at that. Yuri sighed of relief to the site of the large double doors. She ran towards them and tried to push them open but they didn't budge. Yuri stepped back and looked the door up and down before rushing back and trying to push harder against the door, her feet slipped on the cool tile of the floor and she fell with a thud. Then she realized the doors were locked from the outside. 

'How is this happening? Lord Aizen where are you?' 

Yuri looked around the room, trying to find something to break the doors down. There were several large objects in the room, many of them to heavy for her to even pick up. Yuri walked to the dining room area and picked up a chair. The sound of the door opening caused her to drop the chair and whirl around. 

A single man walked inside, he wore a black suit and dark red tie. He had neck straight, neck-length black hair. The man turned to Yuri and a smile began to appear on his face. "Your finally awake princess," Yuri gripped the chair tightly and narrowed her eyes. "Who are you?" She asked taking a step back as he approached her.  "My, my, my, you are impeccably beautiful,"

"Who are you?!" She asked again as he got closer. 

"Sorry, allow me to introduce myself, I am known as Yami," 

"Yami?" Yuri's eyes went wide as the name sent chills dow her spine. 'This is the man Gin told me about, the one who betrayed Aizen,'

"Flawless," His whispered as he eyed her up and down. "No wonder Sosuke is so hypnotized," 

"Where's Lord Aizen? Why was I brought here?" 

"Yes, yes we should get down to business, I'll explain everything please calm yourself," He cleared his throat and walked past her, pulling a chair out and sitting down. He held his hand out, pointing at the empty chair on the opposite side of the large table. Yuri slowly walked over to the chair and sat down, never taking her eyes off the man. 

"First, you must forgive my employee for treating you so roughly, you've been out cold for the last two days,"

"Two days?!"

"Yes, but rest assured I had the best doctors tending to you at all times, blows to the head are very serious, believe me, Saori is being punished as we speak," He said with an eerie tone and a devilish chuckle. "Back to your earlier question, you were brought her because a man paid me handsomely to retrieve you and deliver you to him,"

"A man? Who would that be?"

"I'm sorry, I can't expose my client's information, you understand,"  The way he spoke, his politely smooth words gave her an all too familiar feeling. Being brought to a strange place and meeting with a handsome and rich man.
