The lunatic gives a satisfied smirk, before turning around and returning to the table. Youta hears the sound of metal clanking and hitting which would cause him to flinch every three seconds

They were both silent for a few seconds. Youta's labored breaths were the only sound that can be heard besides the dripping water.

Youta closed his eyes, his head falling back against the wall. He lets out a small whimper, he felt hopeless an desperate as he imagined his home and his dads

He wishes that his dads were there. So much so that it was starting to physically hurt

He almost jumped when he heard a loud bang. Something heavy dropped on the floor and rolled under the table. His captor cursed and bent to pick it up.

"My name is Valentine" the man suddenly says getting out a scalpel and leaning against the table.

It took the young boy a few seconds to process what he heard. But he probably made a noise of confirmation because the man, Valentine, doesn't look at him. Focused only on whatever it was he was doing on that table with his tools.

"I worked for your grandfather"

"W-what?" Youta gasped in shock. "Not the principal no--the other one, the red head one" Valentine corrected.

Youta realized he was talking about his Grandfather Kagami, his daddy's father. "O-oh" was all he managed to say. He's never seen Akabane Kagami before, or spoken to him.

According to his daddy, Kagami was a horrible husband and father, and caused many hardships

They never really bring up Kagami, only when Youta is being curious and wants to learn....Karma thinks he deserves to know about the family, even the bad side of it.

When Youta realized he was hurting his daddy and upsetting his grandma by bringing up the man, he dropped the topic.

"He would hire me to perform surgeries, transplants, or help him conduct illegal experiments" Valentine continued, briefly flickering his deranged eyes on Youta

Youta resisted the urge to squirm in discomfort

"Life was going great for me, everything was perfect. My family respected me, I had a large house and money was coming in strong"

SLAM!

"But everything fell apart because of your damned faggot fathers!!"

"Don't call my dads that word!" Youta screams furiously.

He covered his head with his hands when Valentine came storming towards him with the sharp scalpel in hand.

"It was supposed to be another easy job....Kagami ordered me to kidnap your red haired dad. I strapped him on my operating table...was really looking forward to cutting him open and cleaning his guts"

Youta shuddered at the mental image given to him.

"I locked him in a freezer, was supposed to leave him there for a couple of hours. Didn't really care...was just following Kagami's instructions" Valentine continued nonchalantly.

Suddenly, his hand shot forward and grabbed Youta by his hair again, yanking his head up. "Ah!" Youta exclaimed, hurt.

"But Asano Gakushū, destroyed everything! With Kagami behind bars and our business exposed..It was only a matter of time before my perfect life was ruined!" Snarling, the crazy man tries in vain to control his fury, snorting through his nose like an angry bull

He slammed the boy's head against the wall, causing the boy to scream again. Blood poured down his forehead and covered his right eye, Youta touched the red liquid with shaking fingers.

This time he couldn't keep it in anymore, tears fell down his cheek and he started crying.

"All my money was gone and my wife left me and took our son! I...I haven't seen them in years..I can't find them"

Valentine's grip on the scalpel tightened. Then, the man turned around and went back to the table, only to return moments later infront of him holding a video recorder

"W-what are you gonna-" Youta stammered, heart racing.

"I thought..." the man continues, fiddling with the black stand, adjusting the lenght of the legs. "About how I need money. Because if I had money then maybe my wife and son will come back!" He grinned at the frightened boy. "And I realized something"

He looked expectantly at the chained up boy on the floor, his eyes lit up in a haunted version of childish delight.

"This man is insane...very insane, I have to get out of here!" Youta thought desperately.

"Who has more money than they deserve? Who ruined my life in the first place?!"

Before Youta could answer, Valentine continues

"Your dads of course! Karma and Gakushū!"

Youta's blood runs cold when he heard his parents' names. "What are you going to do to them?"

"You should be more concerned about yourself kiddo" Valentine approached him, pressed the scalpel against his cheek. "I figured those faggots could give me around a few billion for a good incentive"

Youta tries to fight the fear coursing through his small, tired body. Resisting the urge to shut his eyes against the realization that is thrust upon him by the lunatic's next words

"And what better incentive than the life of their precious little boy?"

Valentine clicks the video camera on.

A pathetic sob falls from Youta's lips as he faces the camera, knowing full well this would break his dads and he has no way to stop it.

"Alright....Yu-chan~"

He despised that his name fell from that madman's chapped lips.

"Let's hear how loud you'll scream!"
