Ryota had been busy a lot within the Clan House these days, he only had two weeks before his life would turn into a living hell. “Still cannot remember Jack s!@# about that day…” He sighed as he started to shake his head a little. No matter what he was doing, he could not remember. “I know what has transpired still wonder why I wasn’t allowed to punch her… Heck… we probably would have been fine…” he said as he flipped a page in the books. A heavy sigh left the young male as he turned on his back, eying the ceiling. “I really will bring them into trouble huh…” Those words were said out loud, but he was reflecting now as to what his actions could have caused them… Even more trouble and at this point, he probably even started to overthink certain things.
His mutterings filled the room as he soon would turn back to face the book and place it on the ground, him himself hanging over the edge of the bed so he could still read it… But he was getting tired from re-reading each chapter to make sure he memorized it all.
Mindful breathing… People may consider trying mindful breathing for anxiety, stress, sleep issues, or high blood pressure. To perform mindful breathing, a person should: find a quiet place without distractions, choose a comfortable position, ideally sitting or lying down, focus on breathing by feeling and listening to the body inhale and exhale, allow thoughts to pass through the mind without judgment… He would yawn a bit and cover his mouth before turning around… “Nope… done reading…” he said out loud and would grab his stuff.
“Oi Lillian! If you hear me, I am going to that diamond ocean, attempting to do some wishful thinking!” he said and grabbed a simple jacket and his kunai. He rarely left without his other stuff so there was something truly stuck in his mind. At the gates, he just said he had a mission before moving towards the outer zones and towards the place where he had been held before by that strange group.

Ryota delved deeper into a tunnel, which would eventually come to a new room that would require no fire to light the area. The room had another staircase but most notable were the screens. Several lit screens sat just above a control panel of sorts. But it all seemed so run down and shoddy it was hard to imagine any of it was working at all. But the screens did work. The first couple of monitors would show little more than empty tunnels that seemed to span on forever. Another screen would show an operating room. Another screen would show empty cages that had been used before. There was no sound coming from any of the monitors, it was video only.
“I still feel where they hit me back then… If only I was stronger than they… and for my clan… I hope she is still safe…” Milo would get out of Ryota's shadow and look towards him. “We both were younger back in those days… and you do have a stronger body now too.”
"That may very be familiar... She used to be the friend I had before I got to meet you guys... She was very positive even when she didn't eat like us for days. She always shared and never kept it all to herself... She was killed here. I wasn't strong enough to defend her... She has a lot of resemblances to what my clan sister has... Where she is inside of the hidden sands now, I do not know... " He would sigh and scratch the back of his head as he would walk towards a corridor. "I don't remember much of the place, but I was sort of hoping for clues... This is the part where I turned to my usual self again, before with the marks... Which I still have..." He would think about it now...
"This screen shows the room where I was tortured... I remember it due to the sign on the wall there." He would point to one but was too small to touch the screen. " My sister's name was Nao... She resembled her a lot..." He would sigh as if anger wasn't there anymore, he just felt remorse over the time now that he had been doing that. "Nae Yunami.. as far as I know, when the house exploded or whatever happened after that vase broke... She was placed inside an orphanage... but after I got inside the clan, there was no record of her inside the orphanage anymore... I can't find her anywhere... But I did find her favorite toy a while ago. So I know she is somewhere... All that ties me towards here I guess... Is her at the moment?" He would explain while going down a set of stairs.
"Say... they say that I am some sort of a demon inside of the clan... But I have the chills the more I go down these stairs... do you have the same..?" He wasn't one to chicken out a tall, but he wondered if his gut feeling was close to the sensation the other could be having. In the far distance, there would be sounds like chopping and heavy breathing. Milo went back into the shadows of Ryota which gave Ryota an idea. He stuck out his tongue, he didn't feel like fighting today but something seemed to be around here. "I have a bad feeling about this..." He muttered moments later as he took another few sets of steps down.
One more step would be taken down the stairs. His hand would raise and be placed along with the stones. "No hand bar to hold yourself on... so please make sure not to fall." He would call out to the other as he would take another step down the stairs. The sounds that were in and around, started to become a lot more clear. There was this sound of metal clashing on metal... The sound of breathing became more around and just as Ryota reached the ground, the last step down.
As soon as he took a direct look left; a scream left the male and a thud of him falling to the ground. "W-What the?!" He managed eventually to stutter out. He didn't get spooked like this for such a long while. Just as he had gotten down, he looked to the left and looked directly into a large eye. Seeming that this was a huge creature. It seemed to be a creature that used to have 2 legs and 2 arms, but now only one arm... Unsure of the purpose, most of the teeth were chipped and you could see there had been clear abuse... But this creature was hungry and attempted to eat the young adult who went even more backward by sitting back on his behind. Just as it tried to eat him... He staggered and chains held the giant head back. "He can't reach me... Thank god..." He said and had to get over the initial scare.
There seemed to be no reaction coming from above the staircase. There was no saying how he was supposed to get back up again, as the stairs just had stopped. "Tsk..." He made an annoyed sound as he stood up again, there was no time to be a scared little damn thing right here
The beast was wincing and Ryota slowly started to assess the situation. "You aren't anything regular..." he said softly as gears in his head started to turn and turn around more. "I ain't here to hurt you..." He said and placed his hands up, palms towards the creature in the hope he saw that he meant no harm. The creature slowly started to see this and started to paddle back to his corer. "Alright... Now I am Ryota..." he said and slowly got inside the chain's range. "I want to help you out... but you have to let me..." he talked further and as soon as the beast made movements, he stopped. "You aren't the same..." It sounded which made Ryota a little jumpy.
He had jumped on the fact that this creature was talking to him, actually talking. He swallowed thickly and started to focus on the here and now, rather than the missing goofed up the stairs. Thinking back to the book he had borrowed from the teacher... he would go through the techniques to keep his cool even in this situation. He started first to control his breathing, his first breath was to exhale fully as he closed his eyes for a moment. Taking full attention to his body and body language. He then would start to exhale twice as long as he inhaled, and that way he reassured his calm that loomed over towards the creature.
' Now... This can go many ways...' he would now start to challenge his thoughts and it seemed like the creature was getting into the same idea. ' Shift your focus and do your reality test...' he just followed a few tips and tricks out of the book as 'how to calm down. The creature started to lay low and just kept watch. "That spooked..?" He asked and this time Ryota reacted in a rather calm manner. "well. Got to be honest with you, it is not every day that you meet such a creature as yourself." He would comment as he closed in. "May I ask how you were hurt this badly..?" He would raise a hand and attempt one medical jutsu he knew. There is a mystical hand on it. At first, he was careful, but the muscles of the gigantic creature started to relax. "That's it..." Ryota tried to encourage the beast. "Nothing much... I know that the ones that summoned me, left me here as this was a place that was... exposed. They used me as a guarding monkey... I had to guard the small room behind me, they tormented me and left me half-starved.."
Ryota listened further to the whole story before he would make up his mind. "If you let me... Sign a contract with me, I will lead you as a proper pack leader and make sure this does not happen anymore." He would stand firm with those beliefs.
