Chapter 11: Trip to the Past

!au! TW: Angst, mental asylum stuff 

Giyuu went to sleep, and yeah he was still at Douma's temple. 

Then he had a nightmare of some sort. 

.

.

Little Giyuu stood there, shocked. He had seen his sister got slaughtered by a demon while in the closet. The scene was horrific. 

He cried, begging for the other villagers to come help him. 

"Please! Someone! Help me!" little Giyuu called. "My sister! She's been killed by a demon!" 

Lots of villagers came out upon hearing the call of the little boy. They don't know what's gotten into him. Demons don't exist. He's crazy. Maybe he was the one who killed his sister. 

"Please!!!! Help!!!" little Giyuu yelled. "Help me! Please! A demon has killed my sister!!" 

"Oh for the love of god SHUT UP!!" a man said as he slapped Giyuu very hard, making him fall to the ground quickly. 

"Demons DO NOT exist. It was probably you who killed your sister. In this world there is no such thing as demons" the man yelled. 

"B-b-b-but I saw it with my own eyes! I'm not lying!!" little Giyuu responded back while tears fall from his eyes, because of the slap and the scene he witnessed of his sister being slaughtered. 

"He's definitely mentally ill. Demons don't exist," someone whispered to another. 

But Giyuu had heard it. 

"I'm not mentally ill!!! And demons do exist!! Just please, believe me!" little Giyuu yelled. He was out of breath because of all the yelling and lack of water. 

"Kid. Just shut the fuck up. Demons do not exist. And you ARE mentally ill." the man said. 

But, I'm not mentally ill!!, little Giyuu thought. 

"Whatever, come with us. We are going to take you to the doctor". 

They then took little Giyuu to the doctor, and then they said that he has to stay at the mental asylum. 

Little Giyuu was shocked. He wasn't even mentally ill. He couldn't be. 

.

.

Time passed as he stayed in the asylum. It was terrible there.

They restrained him, and isolated him from everybody else.

Every time he would mention something about his sister, he would always be slapped and punched. They would even drug him. 

Now, he was very afraid of speaking. Every time someone would ask him something, he would always stay silent, and repeated the same thing in his mind.

Speaking = Beating

Speaking = Beating 

Speaking = Beating 

Speaking = Beating 

Speaking = Beating

The people would go away eventually. 

Oh, and they also restrained him when he was asleep. 

They would un-restrain him in the morning. 

Giyuu also kept duct tape near him. He would tape his mouth. If he accidentally tried to talk, the tape would always block off his words. (Also I know duct tape wasn't here at this timeline, but pretend it's there)

People would stare at him weirdly because he had duct tape on his mouth everyday. They didn't understand why he would duct tape his own mouth.

Giyuu didn't want to be stuck there anymore. He doesn't like the way they treated him. Why did this have to happen to him? 

So, one night he had a plan. He would escape the asylum. It wasn't a good plan, it was just a run-for-it-and-don't-turn-back type of plan. He know it was stupid. But then again, he would run very fast while playing tag with the other kids before Tsutako died, and also even managed to outrun adults trying to chase him when they, for some reason, joined in. 

He doesn't know about his stamina now though. He might be able to run far without stopping, or he can't run at all. He doesn't know. 

But oh yeah, every night he was always restrained. He forgot about that. Oops. 

Maybe he can ask if he could stay with his distant relative, who was a doctor. That could work. Then he would be able to run away while they transported him! It's a great idea! He'll tell them next morning. 

.

.

It was morning. He could tell them now! 

As someone was un-restraining him, he asked "S-s-sir? Can I go live with my relative? He's a doctor. I miss him. I want to see him. Please?" he asked quietly, looking up at the man with very dull eyes. 

"Uhhh.... We'll have to ask what other people think." the man said. 

Oh, okay, good enough I think, Giyuu thought. 

He was actually very scared to speak up because of the words he would repeat in his mind. 

Speaking = Beating 

Speaking = Beating 

Speaking = Beating 

Speaking = Beating 

Well, he somehow gathered up all the courage to say this.
