Recollected Memories // Kuroken

Chapter 5

Kenma's POV

A sharp pain enveloped my lower back.

"You're not paying attention to your opponent." My mentor left a quick remark before gaining his stance. "But I guess it's fine since you are in heat." He continued to circle around me. "But this is just a warning, I won't go any easier on you in the future since we will forcefully make you control your pheromones." It was finally my turn for hand to hand combat. And after watching the other of my roommates in their battered state, I could roughly get an idea of how he does his stuff.

Despite his assuring words, my mind still raged in fury. Bullshit. I thought. This is all bullshit. Just come at me. If they are not going to teach the outside world about controlling scent, then I have to learn how to control my pheromones and get out of this place myself. How could they not reveal such a great skill? Do even care about how omegas are being treated? They are telling us that the Organization values us but they don't even care for the greater population of omegas that have gone through because of this stupid gender.

I lunged at the man in front of me aiming the blade towards his hips, a vulnerable part of the body (which I learnt from playing too many video games).

The other dodged however displaying a surprised smile. "Hmmf, you know your places. Not bad..." He grasped my arm twisting it into an uncomfortable position. I yelped in pain. But I refused to give up

As he was about to punch my stomach, I swiveled my legs barely grazing against his as he stepped back. I caught the chance backing away to a safe distance clasping my arm as it throbbed with agony. I knew at that moment that my body was about to give out. My temperature had risen again and breathing had become harder.

The mentor let out a little laugh. " Ha... you're really good at this." He let out a pleasant sigh and pointed towards the others. "You may go."

I looked up in confusion. What? I can already leave. But he's barely exchanged much with me. Is it because I'm in heat? Am I that weak?

But little did I know, it was the exact opposite. I was good. But by being good, I landed myself even deeper into the webs of this Organization.

With the rest of my strength, I stumbled towards the others, my body finally giving out when I reached an open spot in the group.

Collapsing onto the ground and mind once again entered a blurry state, I could barely tell what was happening until a cool shock dispersed from my arm. Whispers filled my ears as I pushed my eyes open seeing the young doctor from before chatting quietly with our mentor. Squinting, I gazed at the surroundings. Good, I'm still at the same place. Nothing's happened yet.

Shifting a little, the two noticed my state and stopped. The doctor gave me another disturbingly calm smile. Uncomfortable from his gaze I attempted to move before realizing another needle on my left arm. Ah, that's right, more nullifiers. But this time, my body felt much better. The pain on my shoulder from before was also gone. I sat up in surprise. Everything felt so easy to do. I flexed my hand and admired its dexterity. Is my heat over already? But why is my body fully recovered as well?

After taking out the needle, the doctor finally spoke. "Surprised?"

I nodded my head.

"Your heat is over. The first couple are always irregular. But your's very likely died down because of 'that'..."

I nodded my head, quick to cut him off from mentioning more about before.

"Very well. I think I should leave you be." The doctor stood up and began walking to walk towards the exit. Giving me one more glance, he added "Good luck with what's next." Leaving a wink, he left.

And I did need luck for what was next. What was this, some kind of military full on workout? I thought as the mentor explained the course. But of course, I knew. It definitely isn't gonna get any higher than this from now on. Our instructor had literally beaten the shit out of all of us and had mentioned earlier that he was gonna teach us how to kill.

Yet somehow, amidst the frustration and confusion. I felt way too calm. My brain must have sensed the abnormality but there was something stopping it from being able to think properly. My body also felt way more replenished. It was as if I had lost half of my receptive cells.

In the end, I managed to hold through for the rest of the day with this refreshed body of mine.

But by the end of the session, each of our roommates had collapsed either along the way or just managed to make it into our quarters. Most of us didn't even have the energy to make our way down to the canteen to eat food from our strict diet that our mentor had reminded us about earlier.

With a brain still hazily anxious but fatigued, I fell into a restless sleep seeping in and out of consciousness as time ticked away.

------

I was awoken by another alarming sound. It echoed around the hallways as more voices joined.

A man who appeared wearing different clothes from our mentor barged into the room.

I gulped. At that moment, I understood what was about to happen next.

He immediately began walking towards the closest omega, which unfortunately happened to be Shoyo. (Yep, he really wasn't having his lucky day.)

The world paused, frozen in time only leaving the two moving figures. I was sure, everyone else in the room knew what was going to happen. But we were too scared to move. Scared that any movement would redirect the guard's motive towards us.

An omega from every compartment was taken.

The rest of us sat in silence as the hours passed accompanied by the ghastly screams engrossing the tight atmosphere around us.

That night, Shoyo arrived back into the compartment in a similar way as me.

His tears flowed freely as he splayed across the ground, body, and all a disgusting mess.

I made my way towards the boy to help.

Approaching the ruined body of his, I took in the details.

Is this what they do to us? Treating us in a shit manner coveted by the sweet tone of theirs? Shoyo whimpered as he melted into my embrace. I held him in place. Maintaining steadiness with all my remaining energy. But a sudden realization came to me like a wall. The guards will continue to do this... we will continue to be treated this way. Everyone else in the room will experience the same thing. Until the next in line will again be me...

Without warning, another screech blasted from the ceiling. What again?! I looked up in frustration to hear the words:

"The Organization is why you are alive now. You are worthless without the Organization. Only the Organization values you. You are useful because of the organization..."

Briefly, I felt Shoyo shudder beneath me. I just held him tighter.

I won't allow the Organization to control us so freely. We can do this right? The three of us. No, even if it's just me. I'll find a way out of this. Right?

I was wrong.
