Learning more about Aiko
Skyler pulled gently against his restraints. 'This wouldn't be so bad if I were laying with a beautiful woman...' He shook his head slightly. 'Of course my brain is trying to make light of things.' He let out a soft sigh while staring at the ceiling. 'I don't even know why I have been brought here. Did I do something wrong?' His eyes closed for a moment. 'I was kidnapped and knocked out like a bitch then brought here.' His eyes opened as he glanced around the room. 'This is a fairly lavish room...'
It was clear that everything in the room was quite expensive and well taken care of. It reminded him a little of Wuoliffside's estate. 'I wonder if this has something to do with being auctioned off earlier.' Although rather strange, it was certainly within the realm of possibilities. 'Why would they want me though? It isn't like I'm strong or attractive.' He looked around the room. 'Especially not enough to warrant all of this.' He looked down slightly. 'Is this to get back at Wuoliffside?'
He was very confused. While his mind continued to mull over the possibilities, the door opened. He was too distracted to notice. 'I hope not. I wouldn't want to be a detriment to her. She's been so kind to me...' However, his concentration broke when the bed began to sink a little toward his right side. "Hmm?" He looked over to his right. However, he didn't see anything at first. His eyes looked slowly toward the edge of the bed and noticed a delicate hand pressing a few inches into the bedside.
Skyler leaned over slightly in an attempt to get a better look. "Find anything good down there?" When he spoke, the hand gripping the side of the bed slid off. A soft thud was heard a moment after. "Ow..." He blinked. "Are you okay?" A soft feminine voice emanated from the direction of the thud. "Yes. I just didn't think you'd notice me, Mr. Peterson." He scrunched up his lips and brought them slightly to the left. 'How dense do you think I am?' He let out a soft breath. "I'm sorry I startled you."
As Skyler spoke, a woman who looked remarkably like Aiko stood up. 'Wait a second. Aiko doesn't speak like that.' He tilted his head slightly. "Who are you?" She nervously brushed herself off before bowing twice, stopping each time at a ninety degree angle. "I-I'm so sorry for being too plain, Mr. Peterson. I'm Aiko Tsubaki. I was the one that carried you here as per Miss Saito's orders." He flinched as a short, but audible, 'Eh?' escaped his lips. "Do you mean to tell me you are the same woman who was calling me a pervert earlier?"
Aiko lifted up both of her hands, twisting them left to right at the wrist as her cheeks turned bright red. "T-that was just a joke! I, I would never tell Miss Saito something like that." Skyler blinked several times while watching her. 'She's like a completely different person. Does she have a twin? Or is she trying to pull one over on me?' As this thought ran through his mind, he tried to sit up. Alas, the chains kept him from doing so. He was quite annoyed with these chains.
Skyler's eyes closed. "Can you tell me why Miss Saito asked you to bring me here? Did I upset her?" His eyes opened slightly to look over at Aiko. "Where are we for that matter?" Aiko sat down on her knees beside the bed. "I'm sorry, but I was not told why." She bowed her head slightly to him. "Hmm, I haven't detected any malicious intent. So I believe you are in the clear." She sat back up. "You are in her illusion barrier on a slope of Mt Fuji." His leaned his head back while trying to think of where he had heard that name before. 'Mt. Fuji...'
Skyler's eyes widened. "I'm in Japan!?" Aiko nodded slightly. He felt his hands shaking a little as he realized he must have been out for more than a few hours this time. "How long was I out?" She looked off to the side. "Look what nice weather we're having today." He tilted his head slightly. "How long?" She brought up both of her hands and pressed her pointer fingers gently together. "I, I didn't think it would be so effective against you..." He slightly glared at her this time.
Aiko flinched before muttering under her breath. "Two days..." Skyler squinted, making it look like he was glaring more intensely at her. "Two days?" She flinched again, bowing her head once again. Her voice trembling as she spoke. "I'm soooo sorry, Mr. Peterson. I just wanted to make the trip easier on the both of us." He sighed softly while leaning his head back to look up at the ceiling. "It's fine. You were just doing your job, Aiko. Thank you for telling me." Her eyes widened, slightly teary with joy and relief. "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Peterson."
Skyler's eyes closed. "Skyler." Aiko leaned in slightly. "Excuse me?" His eyes opened as he turned his face toward her. "My name is Skyler. Mr. Peterson doesn't seem appropriate here." As he said the word, appropriate, he jiggled the chains of his restraints. She couldn't stop herself from giggling. "Perhaps you are right." There was a short pause before she continued to speak. "Skyler." He smiled while gazing upon her. "That wasn't so bad. Was it, Aiko?" Her cheeks turned bright red. "N-no. It wasn't, Skyler."
Aiko's expression quickly changed to confusion for a split second before switching to a playful grin. "Naughty naughty. Are you trying to tease me, Mr. Peterson?" Skyler's eyes widened slightly. 'Huh. It's like she has multiple personalities.' A new red exclamation flashed which he ignored. "Maybe a little, but can you blame me? You're rather cute when you blush." A smirk spread across her lips. "I see. You're even more perverse than I thought. I should tell my mistress."
Skyler rolled his eyes with a little smirk. "Promises promises..." Aiko's left eyebrow lifted. "Maybe I'll just beat you up instead..." She said while moving to sit on the side of the bed. His eyes followed her. "Planning to tell your mistress that you failed your mission?" She stuck out her tongue before playfully smiling. "I never said I'd kill you..." Her right hand reached out toward his face. She gently tapped his nose with her pointer finger. "now did I?" He wrinkled his nose. "Now who's being naughty?"
Aiko grinned. "I'll never tell." She playfully winked while sliding off the bed. She brushed herself off before heading toward the door. "My mistress will be in to see you soon. I would suggest you be on your best behavior, Mr. Peterson" He shrugged slightly. "I make no promises." She giggled. "Good luck to you then." He nodded slightly. "And to you." After she left the room, he let that exclamation from earlier pop up.

Skyler was a little surprised to receive anything for that. It was a little strange, but welcomed all the same. He glanced over to the door. 'I hope Miss Saito will shed some light on all of this. I would really like to go back to Wuoliffside and the others.' He looked around the room again, but he didn't see anything new. 'If I am to remain here, I would like to see some of Japan. I know it isn't the same as I've seen in anime, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see some of it.' His eyes closed as he tried to relax. Will Miss Saito tell him what he wants to know? Will she allow him to walk freely? Will he be allowed to see Japan?

Odd side of the Abyss
Are you ready to begin?
We'll be looking at Skyler Peterson's life as he is dragged into the world of the Abyss. He is a depressed man with a lot against him, if only in his own mind. The main character is based on myself. This will be an outlet to help me vent such frustrations. This should help my readers understand me a bit better, but more importantly. I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it. :3
