The fire was surrounding him.Everytime he saw an issue, they would cover it.And the worst thing was that he knew that they were there and he couldn't see them.

"Peek-a-boo!"

The shadow jumped from nowhere in fron of him.He was thin and he was making no sound when he was walking.His red long hair seemed to be a part of the fire when he was moving.

"My dear Yusuke, you thought that we wouldn't search you?"

Yusuke tried not to show what he was thinking in front of the shadow.Doing that could be very dangerous.He was terrified by what the shadows did this time.They tried to kill him many times, but this time was the worst.Yusuke searched in his mind for the perfect magic words to escape, but when he found them, it was like a huge wall was blocking his way.

"You're making me laugh!" the shadow exclaimed."I thought that you knew about The Dark Circle!And you dare to call yourself wizard!"

The Dark Circle was the most treacherous way to win a fight.It blocked the magic of the enemy, leaving it without its most powerful weapon.And of course that just a shadow could use The Dark Circle.

Sweat was running down on Yusuke's neck.In his eyes the fear was shining-the rest of the shadows showed themselves.There were about nine or ten shadows, approaching to him.

"Anyway, the queen wants to give you a mesage."

The shadow snaped his fingers once.A  beam fell from the ceiling, falling over Yusuke's body.Luckily, the beam wasn't on fire, but it was that heavy that it might brokehim some ribs.

"Leave us alone or you'll be dead.This time we warn you.Next time..."

The shadows turned their backs to Yusuke and started to walk away.Yusuke tried to get up, but a sharp pain was wandering trough his head.Then his whole body was held to the floor by an unseen force.

"Sleep" a sweet voice said.

Yusuke didn't want to sleep; if he will stay awake, he stays alive.But the voice had something...delicious.He couldn't help himself from doing as the voice said.

 

It was a dream-or a nightmare.Yusuke started to fall trough a tunnel.The darkness was so solid that it could be cut with a knife.Voices and animal sounds were screaming as he was falling.Like Alice, he was wondering when he would hit the ground.

He didn't hit the ground, but the same thing that made him fall asleep stopped him in the air.

When he looked down, he saw something wick seemed to be a woman(a very beautiful one-he could guess by looking at her body).Her face was covered by the hood of her black robe, but he felt hypnotized when he looked at her.

"I told my people not to kill you" she said.

So it was the queen of the shadows.

"Because I want to kill you by myself, shadow murderer!"

A wind blew on his face.First, he didn't feel a thing, but then it was like his face was stabbed by one thousand needles.Yusuke started to scream and crawl in pain, but it wasn't helping.Even if he couldn't see her, he knew that she was enjoying that.

"Listen, my dear warrior, this is just a small part of what can I do.But when it will come the right time, you will be afraid of your own...shadow."
