(Author: why do you guys even read my stories?)

Day 22

2:00am

Gakushū was seething with rage.

The doctors had found a drug inside Karma's system. It weakened his immune system drastically, paralyzed him, and had slowed his heartbeat almost to death. On top of that, he was frozen, apparently he was put inside a freezer like room for a solid seventeen hours, it was a miracle he didn't die of hyperthermia. A big miracle

He sat there, watching the steady rose and fall of his his husband's chest, the steady beep beeping from the machine was his comfort that his Karma would be alright.

His hand twitched repeatedly, his eyes covered by his bangs.

Then, he felt warm hands wrap around his head. He felt his head press against a woman's chest, and heard sweet whispering coming from a motherly voice. "Natsuki-san" he whispered. "I'm sorry I took so long darling" she said, in her motherly voice.

Gakushū couldn't even bring himself to look at the woman in the eyes. He felt so ashamed to have let this happen to her son, he felt angry.

"It's not your fault" she  assured him, as if hearing his thoughts. "It's not your fault" she repeated. "It wasn't your doing" now she sounded harsh. "You didn't do this to him"

Right. He didn't inject Karma with drugs, he didn't harm Karma, he wasn't the one to put Karma in a freezer and let him almost freeze to death.

"Natsuki-san..." He started, then felt gentle hands cup his face and forced him to look up.

She was smiling a predatorial smile. "Gakushū-kun" she began. "You and I know who did this to our most precious person, you and I are seething with bloodthirsty rage and our bodies are shaking with uncontrollable desire for revenge....correct?"

It was only then that he saw the angry tears gathering in the corners of the woman's eyes. Gakushū nodded simply

"Then...find that son of a bitch and return the favor"

Removing her hands from his face, she then turned to face her son. "Go"

The man stood up and left the room, his feet taking him to the nearest phone booth and dialing the number from the card Chiyo have him.

Layla was pacing back and forth. Her conscience was eating her alive. Her husband....her husband did something she never thought he would do. She thought he wasn't serious, but oh boy was she dead wrong.

She was snapped out of reality when she felt a tug from her pants. She looked down, and saw her daughter holding her phone.

Chiyo looked, if possible, even worse. The dark circles under her eyes were more prominent, her skin is bone white, and she looked so small and frail that it seemed as if a gust of wind can knock her over.

"It's for you" Chiyo stated.

Layla took the phone and answered. "Hello?"

"Miss Layla.." came a vaguely familiar voice. She frowned "Who is this?" She didn't understand the sudden chill she felt, as if something bad would happen to them. "Asano Gakushū. We met once, I'm Karma's significant other" he introduced. Layla racked her brain for a face, and remembered that young man with strawberry blonde hair and striking violet eyes.

"Oh, yes of course. Uh, what is it?"

"Do you know what you're husband has done?" He asked slowly. She bit her lip. "I....I think I do" she answered. He chuckled, making her shiver. "Well I'm going to need to know where the fuck he is. He did something to my precious husband and I want him to pay"

"I know what he did was wrong but-"

"That's an understatement! He injected Karma with drugs that poisoned his insides! It's bad enough he's suffering necrosis-"

"He has necrosis?!" Layla was horrified.

"And he locked him up in a freezer and left him there for seventeen hours! That man isn't worth hiding! If I were you I'd grab your brat and leave him! Believe me, he's not worth it"

"I kn-know you are angry and hate him for what he did to Karma" she stuttered. "But you can't make a decision while you're clouded by your-"

"Tell me where he is and I'll...." Gakushū sucked in a breath. "I'll save Chiyo"

She froze, and her eyes slowly went to her little girl, who was worriedly watching her.

"W-what do you mean by 'save Chiyo'?"
