By the time the pair went home, Yumi had already passed out from exhaustion and pain.

Kamui who was about to step outside, saw her injured and wounded on the back of her father. "Yumi?! TOU-SAN WHAT HAPPENED?!?"

Umibozu grimaced, trying to think of an alibi. Kamui grabbed Yumi from Umibozu and saw the wounds that littered her arms and face.

"It is not for my place to say." Umibozu said. He turned to walk away but stopped. "Tell the brat that once she's healed, we're leaving... I expect that it would be next week."

Kamui snapped his head up to look at the man with a glare. "What?! Why?!? She's perfectly fine staying with us!!"

"I KNOW THAT BUT SHE HAS A DUTY!!" He snapped. "I WON'T BE TELLING YOU THIS IF IT ISN'T IMPORTANT!"

Kamui reeled back in alarm. His fathers face was one of pain, pity and something more. He shook his head and glared.

"Explain, Tou-san."

Umibozu stared at his son with a frown before he shook his head. "It is not my place to explain. Only hers." With that he turned and walked away.

Kamui bit his lip, trying to contain his anger before he turned and ran to the house with her in his arms. He set her down on their futon and grabbed a towel and filled a basin with warm water. 'Just what the hell happened to you?!'

He set it down beside her and soaked the towel. He wrung the water and turn to wipe away the cuts and blood on her face. He retracted his hand when her face turned to a grimace.

"Sorry but we have to clean it." He whispered.

When Kamui had finished, the basin and the towel had turned blood red. He set them aside and grabbed a first aid kit underneath the bed. He grabbed an ointment and winced when he heard her whimper in pain. "I'm sorry."

He grabbed the bandages and wrapped one around her head, and another on both of hands. He also grabbed another set off his clothes and removed the tattered article from Yumi. Kamui gaped when he saw the bruises on her stomach. Purple blotches decorated her pale skin. He glanced away and put the top on her gently.

Once he had finished, Yumi's body was decorated with bandages and ointments. Kamui sighed and put the basin and towel away.

He went back to Yumi and gently put her head on his lap. 'Geez, her states worse than what happened to me.'

He silently stroked her hair as he stared at her face. Her face relaxed which caused him to smile just a bit.

'You have a lot of explaining to do.' He thought as he leaned back on the wall and closed his eyes.

He was torturing her.

Bad mouthed.

Abused.

"Yumi, wake up!!" She yelled at me then howled in pain as the whip hit her back.

"Ma!" I screamed. "Just let me go and ge–"
