Varia's Chained Cloud (Nanbaka x OC x KHR)

Breakout 26

Ruka held Jyugo hostage, his fingers gripping the boy's hair. "Now then, say it. What are you planning to do by going down? If you don't obediently confess, I'll kill him."

"Hahaha... You sure it's ok to do something like that even though you're a guard?" Uno asked, nervous. "If you kill him, you'll get locked up in here like a certain someone, right?"

"Too bad for you, I'm not a guard here anymore," the male replied with an evil smirk. "Enki-san's way of doing things isn't wrong. If he's going to kill someone, then I will too." 'This guy... Why hasn't he moved? Is he scheming something...? But even so, how did he get out of the cell...'

Akiri's stance shifted. "Kill him?" she hummed, grey eyes narrowing. "That's a bluff, isn't it, Onee-Dotard?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Ruka questioned back. "I have no problem with killing this inmate."

"No, there will be a problem," she continued. "If you kill Jyugo, the so-called "Key" then you'll be in trouble with Gokuu Enki."

His eyes widened. 'How did she-'

"Whoops, excuse me," Trios said with an unapologetic face as he slammed the metal oxygen tank against Ruka's head.

"YEOOOOW!! That huuuuuuurts!!"

Akiri blankly put her thumb up. "Nice kill."

Trios put his hand against Jyugo's back, walking him along. "Now, now, don't space out, let's go. Yes, yes."

Ruka grit his teeth, a tear in his eye as he touched the bump on his head. "Ku~~~ He got me... That damn brat, I won't forgive you."

"Hah... Hah... That was close~ Thanks Trios."

"Not at all, I'm glad we managed to get away somehow," he replied and Uno turned to Jyugo.

"You ok, Jyugo?"

"Ah... Yeah."

Trios looked around. "It seems we gave those guards the slip, though it's only temporary... But it's only a matter of time until we're found, so we need to hurry and find the path down."

"Hey." Honey suddenly spoke up, looking at Jyugo and everyone turned towards the purple haired male. "You're in the way, so don't come with us anymore."

Jyugo froze and Akiri put a hand on his shoulder protectively.

"Honey-kun, what are you saying at a time like this..." Trios mumbled.

"That's right, we can't open the locks without Jyugo, right?" Uno reasoned.

"Shut up! I did think it was convenient at first that he could open up the cell and remove the handcuffs, but that's all!" Honey snapped. "This guy hasn't been any help outside of that! On the contrary, he's a hindrance. He got caught by the enemy that easily! It's not like we can't disassemble the cuffs if Trios has the tools. We can even steal the key if you're that worried."

'It's true that we can, but...'

"But that would take a while right?" Uno blurted out. "In that case Jyugo..."

Honey glared at him, walking over. "No matter how comforting it is to have something convenient, if the enemy gets hold of it, it's all over. Moreover, that Kappa bastard noticed that this guy's the "Key." In other words, he's gonna come after him again. All he did was increase the number of targets! An idiotic bastard that immedialty gets caught by the enemy is some serious baggage! Do you understand the situation we're in right now?!" Honey walked closer, being face to face with Jyugo. "That face and attitude of yours has been pissing me off for a while now. You're the only one acting innocent and timid. I don't know what you're thinking, but you're not the only one stuck in this situation. What the hell did you come here for?! If you're only going to think of yourself, then get lost! You're in the way!"
