Chapter five

I wake up still tired and extremely sore. I slowly sit up and see Bankay in a chair looking down.

"Bankay," I say in a soft voice. he looks at me and runs over fast.

"Hey, hey lay back down" He lays me back down and looks into my eyes.

"How long...have I been asleep.." I ask trying to stay awake.

"About...a week," He says brushing his hand on my cheek. I just now realize how hungry I am.

"Agh...do we have food?" I ask

he leaves for a second and I hear clacking and voicing then he comes in with a big thing of waffles. my stomach growls.

"Oh that smells so good" I slowly sit up and he sets the tray on my lap I eat then practically choking them down. He chuckles and sits next to me.

"Slow down Ming you're going to choke." He puts his arm around me.

"I don't care," I say with a full mouth. I finish a while later he takes the tray out and then comes back with Hashime and Kumi. They both talk at the same time trying to ask if I'm okay.

"One at a time" I yell

"Are you okay!" Kumi exclaims

"Yes just a little sore and tired," I say

Kumi throws her arm around me and Simon jumps on my lap and lays down. I smile and hug her tightly.

"I'm fine Kumi, I promise"

"You were asleep so long."

"Hey, you try doing that!" I yell we all laugh. Mister mills walks in and Bankay and Hashime stand in front of me.

"Get out" Bankay says in a harsh voice that scares everyone.

"Oh calm down child I'm here to make sure she's okay," Mister Mills says in a none convincing voice.

"Get out." Bankay says again he puffs up and looks ever scarier I can tell Mister Mills is trembling now. He leaves quickly and I hug Bankay's arm. he turns and looks at me then smiles.

"Hey guys can you give us a second," Bankay says Kumi and Hashime shrug and leave. I look at Bankay confused. Bankay look into my eyes and get close to my face. my heart pounds as I feel his lips on mine.

"What...what was that for?" I ask

"Being amazing, Ming...will you be my girlfriend?" he asks my heart pounds like a drum.

"yes," I say smiling

"Can I get up now?" I ask

"I mean if you want but be careful," Bankay says softly. I slowly get up my legs are shacky. Bankay gets up and holds my arm to steady me. I fall onto him and we both fall onto the ground.

"Oh sorry" I roll off of him blushing.

"You still look really tired Ming." he says sitting up.

"I am but I don't want to sleep anymore. I want to fight, I want to get out into the real world." I say looking at him. his eyes slowly light up and he pulls me to him and holds me close.

"Ming, I know you're restless, but in tell we can control the powers we have we must stay." Bankay says in his soft calming tone. I lay my head on him and close my eyes.

"I know Bank..I know" I slowly fall into the world of sleep but I can still feel Bankays arms around me.

I wake up light shining into my eyes. I cover the light and look around. I'm in my bed it's early and Bankays gone. I get up and walks into his room quietly. he's fast asleep with no blankets on him.

I slowly crawl into the bed and pull blankets over us. I lay my head by his then close my eyes. as soon as I close my eyes I feel his arms wrap around me. I open my eyes and see him smiling at me.

"Hi Bankay" I whisper

"shush go back to sleep," Bankay says softly I close my eyes and scoot closet to him I lay my head on his chest and go back to sleep. I hear loud yells and banging pots. I open my eyes and see mister mills standing there banging the pots.

"Get up you two! get up love birds!!" he yells

I groan and hold Bankay closer he holds me tightly and I can tell he's glaring at mister mills because mister mills stops. I hear the door click closed and I open my eyes again.

"good morning Bankay," I say smiling at him he smiles back and rubs my head.

"morning mingy"

"Mingy?" I ask

"that's your pet name silly"

"Hmmmm....Bankay baby!" I yell happily I see his cheeks get a little pink. I giggle and get up.

"how does pancakes sound for breakfast," Bankay says sitting up.

"Oishī," I say smiling Bankay chuckles.

"I don't know what that means."

"delicious," I say again.

"I'm just gonna hop in the shower. I'll be fast." I say walking into my room. I go and get into the shower. since we don't have to train today when I get out I change into my special purple silk pajamas. I walk down to the dining hall Bankay hashime and Kumi are already there. Kumi looks at me and smiles.

"You look gorgeous Ming," Kumi says. both hashime and Bankay look at me both of them get a little red then look away. I smile and walk over to Kumi and sit. Mister mills come in.

"Ming. come with me." he says harshly I look him dead in the eyes.

"no" I say confidently

"No?" he asks

"I said no, you beat me once. you will never do it again. " I say again standing up slowly.

"You are mine. lets go."

"No!" I yell I feel my gem glow and I feel something in my hand. I look down and see a sword. I smirk and look at him.

"Try me." I say

"You little," Mister mills pulls a whip out of his pocket. Bankay Kumi and Hashime come up behind me with there weapons out as well.
