Hidden power

Chapter 11

"What is that pheasant doing with (y/n)?" asked Samon, still pacing outside of the door. Upa was impatiently waiting on a nearby stool. It had been quite a while. An idea suddenly popped into Upa's head. He slid off of the stool, walking over to Samon and asking a question. He nodded and Upa walked in the direction of the cafeteria.

(Meanwhile, in the room)

You stepped out from behind the screen with yet another dress on. You were never the one to dress up and didn't care much for this, so you were ready to go. But, you being the rather meek person you are, you couldn't say anything about it. None of the dresses fit correctly due to your size. This one wasn't tight enough around the waist according to Kiji and he handed you another one. You were hungry and getting slightly cranky. There was a knock at the door. It was Samon asking for me. I quickly slipped on my normal clothes and prepared to make your escape. With Kiji distracted, you walked quickly out of the door. Thanks to your years of training, you were able to do this without Kiji or Samon noticing. Kiji, after telling Samon that there were just 'a few more dresses' shut the door. I pulled on Samon's tail, "How'd you- you know what, never mind. The rest are in the game room, do you want to go?" You nodded, beginning to follow him to the so called game room. Samon walked in first while you stood behind the door frame. Now that they knew that you were a girl, things were going to get a bit more complicated. You moved swiftly to the back of the room, escaping the attention of everyone. Or so you thought. You let out a breath as you sat down in a chair that was hidden from view from the rest of the room. You closed your eyes for a second, something you rarely do around others (except for sleeping of course.) You jumped when you felt someone poke your cheek. You looked to your side to see Upa. "I thought that you were going back to the cell." You shook your head, "I decided to come back." He raised an eyebrow, "Why?" You shrugged, before noticing that Upa was holding something behind his back, "What's that?" he 'oh yeah'ed before bringing his hands in front of him. He held a container and a bottle out to you. Confused, you take the box. It was warm to the touch. You took off the lid to see two pieces of pizza, still hot. Opening to bottle, you realized that it was (y/f/d). You looked over to Upa, "What's this for?" "You didn't get to eat since that pheasant dragged you out. You can count it as payment for the anmon." "Thanks." You said smiling. You picked a piece up and took a bite. It was surprisingly good. Taking sips of (y/f/d), you ate the pizza while talking with Upa. "So what are you going to do now?" You shrugged, "I'll just have to deal with it I guess. It's not like I can erase their memories." "That is true. Are you still going to wear the mask" You thought for a moment, "I don't know. It's pointless now, but at the same time it's comforting in a sense." He nodded, "Are you going to come out and play games with the others?" By this time, you had finished your food, "I guess." You got up from the table, and began walking over to where everyone was accompanied by Upa. You started playing with your hoodie sleeves. Noticing this, Upa grabbed your hand. You stepped into view and Uno, Honey, and Trois immediately ran over to you. They bombarded you with flirty comments, but were quickly pushed away by Upa, who glared at them. After a few good knocks to the head, they backed off. Nico suddenly ran up to the pair of you, "Master! Master! What happened to (y/n)?" Upa scoffed and crossed his arms, "Thanks to you genius, you gave her a panic attack." "What's a 'panic attack' master?" Nico asked, tilting his head to the side. "It's-" "Not that important" You said interrupting Upa. He gave you a confused look but let it go. Nico suddenly turned to you, finally noticing that you were there, "Heeeeey do you like anime?" He asked excitedly. Due to training (both past and present), (a favorite show that isn't an anime), and (another distraction), you had never really heard of it. You shook your head and he immediately started yelling about anime and how awesome it is. He was hit on the head by Uno, "Not so loud. You remember what happened last time." He said scolding Nico with his hands on his hips. He then turned to you, a flirty look on his face, "So, what are yo-" Upa cut him off by punching him in the stomach. He then grabbed a hold of your sleeve and tugged on it, pointing towards the games. You nodded and started walking with him, Nico in tow. After a few games, Nico ran to the both of you proudly showing off his prize that he won from the claw machine. "Master, master look! It's a little me! Isn't it cool" Upa rolled his eyes, pretending not to care, "Sure" Nico looked into the claw machine and saw a plushy of Upa. "Master look! It's a little you! Oh and look a little (y/n) too!" he said, pointing to the two plushies. Upa simply scoffed. "Would you like me to get them for you master?" Upa, appearing to be offended, said, "It's not like I couldn't do it myself." Uno, who had finally recovered from the punch, elbowed you in the side, "I bet he couldn't get it even if he tried." Upa heard this, and turned towards him, "Yes I could! It's simple" He said, walking up to the machine. After maneuvering the claw a bit, he pressed the button that drops the claw. It snagged the arm of a plush, but the toy fell. "WHY YOU LITTLE COCKY MACHINE-" Upa yelled while preparing a qi ball to destroy it. The group held him back and calmed it down. He decided to try again. After mumbling a few calculations to himself, he dropped the claw. It picked up the plush of himself. You saw him smile triumphantly. You smirked at this. 'I guess he's having fun' you thought to yourself as the plush was dropped in the box. Upa picked it up and held the plushy of himself gingerly, "See. Easy." He said quietly. You couldn't help but giggle at this. He turned around quickly, "What?" "Nothing. It just looks like you're having fun." He crossed his arms, "I am not." You rolled your eyes. He scoffed, "I'd like to see you do better." He said, challenging you. You thought for a moment before walking to the machine. Though you had never done this before, you had a slight idea of what to do. After a bit of maneuvering, you dropped the claw. You managed to pick up three at one time. One was of you, the other was Liang and the last was Qi. The room cheered at your victory. Upa crossed his arms and pouted, but still smiled slightly when he saw your toothy grin. Qi nudged him in the side, "Smiling at (y/n) again, are we?" His smile dropped and the turned his head away, "No, trash." Qi laughed, "Whatever you say." He said chuckling as he walked away. Upa was about to go after him, but you got his attention, "I bet I could get more than you." "No way" and so the competition began. "Come on guys. Time to-" Samon stopped mid-sentence as he saw you and Upa surrounded by all of the plushies you both had won. "You know what I'm not even going to ask at this point." He said, sweat-dropping. Everyone left after saying goodbye. For the first time in a while, you were glad that you were forced to talk to people.
