The tournament, the tenth

Night visit

Shay didn't respond to the question the Asakura asked her at first. She didn't want to react because she didn't know what to say. Whether she should tell him the truth, lie to him, or keep silent. She chose the latter option - silence. Now she had been sitting in the room with Luna's brother for a while, but she hadn't said anything. The young Asakura was getting impatient. “What is it?” He asked, “Why don't you say anything?” Silence. “After all, she's my sister!” Silence. As hard as Yo tried in the following minutes that Shay answered him, the black-haired woman said nothing. Yo stopped asking her, he saw that it was useless. Again the two waited for Hana and Luna to wake up. Luna was the first to awaken from the realm of dreams. She blinked. The bright light blinded her, so she raised her arm and held it protectively in front of her eyes. Yo was the first to notice her. "Luna!"he shouted so loudly that she immediately jumped up and sat bolt upright in bed." What? ", she asked confused." You are awake ... ", her brother said a little more quietly. Luna looked at him and Shay confused." What happened? ", she asked." You passed out while training ... ", Shay replied with a smile. She was glad that her friend was finally awake." What time is it ?! ", she suddenly exclaimed excitedly." It is 10.30 pm ... ", Faust remarked, who had just come in through the door." WAAAAA ??! ", Luna shouted, startled," What about the tournament? Our first fight? "Everyone except Luna looked evasively at the ground. Nobody said a word." What happened? ", Luna asked a bit slower and quieter this time." Luna we ... The tournament, we ... ", Shay tried to find a beginning, but it didn't work out." You lost ... you are out. ", Yo answered shortly. His sister just looked at him in disbelief. She was shocked." No ... "she mumbled repeatedly and shocked," No. No. No.We're out ... "Shay put her hand carefully on Luna's shoulder." I'm ... I'm sorry ... "Luna looked into her friend's black eyes, then shook her head." Don't worry about it. We just lost, that's not that bad. We can still do something and help from outside. "Everyone present (except Hana, who was lying unconscious in the second bed in the room) looked confused at Luna. Did she really just say that? Wasn't she angry, or at least a little pissed off?" "Faust asked suddenly, breaking the silence that had just fallen. Luna looked at him and nodded," Yes. I'm just a little dizzy. But other than that, I'm okay. "Luna smiled at him." Good. "Faust only said and went to the bed where Luna was lying." Here. Drink this. "He handed her a cup of tea." That will do you good. "Luna was still smiling at him, took the tea and took a sip." Thank you, Faust. "" Luna. I wish you a good night and a nice stay here.I have to go to bed now. We'll have our first fight of this round tomorrow morning. ", Yo said, got up, took his sister in his arms very briefly and then left the room with Faust. The door fell shut with a soft click. Luna put her tea on the cupboard next to her bed." Luna ... It I'm sorry we didn't get any further. ", Shay said again." Don't worry ... But how did the fight go? "" I ... I don't know. I was not there. " "HOW? You weren't there? "Luna looked at Shay in amazement," What does that mean? "" That I wasn't there. Hana fought alone. "" Alone? How could you let that happen? You could have won. "" I know I should have been there, but there were more important things. "Luna frowned at Shay." More important? What? "Shay sighed." It's hard to explain. I'll tell you soon enough, but not now and in this place. It's too dangerous here."" I see ... "Luna nodded." How about we go to my house? We can talk there. Nobody is there. Keiko, father and my grandparents will come here to support Yo. "Shay nodded." That's a good idea. Just how do we do it with Hana? "Luna thought for a moment." We'll fly as soon as he wakes up. "Another nod from Shay's side." Luna, I think you should sleep. Hana will surely wake up tomorrow morning. And when we're flying, you should be rested. "Luna nod," you are right. "Shay nodded as well. Luna lay back in the bed and Shay went to the light switch and turned it off. Then she went to her bed and went to sleep as well. They both fell asleep pretty quickly.

Luna was the first to wake up the next day. She opened her eyes and sat up quietly. It was still dark in the room. Only the faint moonlight lit it up a little. Despite the poor lighting, she could see someone standing by Shay's bed.This stared at her. One of his hands was on hers. He stroked her cheeks with the other. He did not notice that he was being watched. In the weak light Luna could see that the person had dark hair and had to be a bit taller than they were. She could also tell that it was a man. Luna didn't know him. //Who is this? // she wondered, // and what does he want with Shay? // Luna watched him for a while as he watched her sleeping friend.

His hand slowly peeled away from her hand. He pulled her back. His second hand, however, remained on the black-haired woman's cheeks. He gently brushed a few hairs from her face. Again he remained in this position for a few minutes and watched the sleeper. Finally he let go of her. He sighed and turned around, looking at the other two beds, knowing that one of the two people had been watching him for a while. He looked Luna straight in the eyes.Luna was rigid with fear. She was alone (awake). There was someone strange in her room. He looked at her, straight into her eyes. Frightened, she moved back until her back hit the wall. Meanwhile the man came closer and closer to her. At some point he was right in front of her. So to the right of the bed by sitting. He dropped a little on his knees so that he could see Luna directly in the face. She was still staring at him fearfully.
"So you're Luna?" He asked more to himself than to her. Again he looked her straight in the eye. His eyes were cold. Luna was terrified and had to control herself not to scream out loud. She felt that his gaze pierced her, penetrated deep into her soul. "Hmmmm ... I just don't understand why she wanted to save you ..." he mumbled coldly, got himself back on his feet and turned to go. Shortly before he reached the window, he said: "One more thing, little Luna. If you tell your black-haired friend about me, you will be in the afterlife faster than you would like."Then he jumped out the window. (Note: They have no window panes there)

Luna swallowed. She took his threat at his word. She was afraid of him in a way unknown to her. Not the normal fear people have, but something different. More intense, stronger, more pronounced. Different.
She decided not to tell anyone, as the unknown to her wanted to. So she lay down again and fell asleep again after a while.
