Paralyzed

Chapter 17

A/N: Sorry for the delay! I had personal things I needed to do but I'm back!

Rin was awakened by a loud slam against his cage, making him jump. Panickngly he looked around to notice it was a metal bar on top of his cage. He sighed, but his stomach seemed to scream in pain. He gasped, 6 his shirt to see the stoma bag cap had a dark almost purple tinge around it, leading Rin to know it is infected. Not surprising since it hasn't been taken care of in a hot minute. Just great not only has he got one more day until he's sold like jewelry, but his Stoma bag is now causing problems. Just what he needed to start his day.

"That doesn't look too hot. You Should get that looked at."Rikyu said, watching Rin poke at the area. Rin sighed, letting his Kimono drop.

"It's infected," Rin explained.

"No shit. It's kind of obvious. An idiot can tell that doesn't look healthy." Rikyu snapped.

Rin cursed under his breath, trying to straighten up as he leaned against his cage door. To his surprise, he fell right out, tumbling to the floor, hissing at the pain it caused both the slow-healing injury on his back and the stoma infection. Rin groaned, shaking his head as he slowly looked up to see his cage door looked to be unlocked. He was suspicious but also relieved.

"They didn't lock your cage? What idiots." Rikyu said. "The guards sure have gotten sloppy."

Rin chuckled and slowly fixed his posture before crawling over to Rikyu's cage. It took all his demonic strength to get the lock broken as he slammed back against the floor. Rikyu chuckled, crawling out before breaking the chain from the cage. He stretched, finally taking a giant sniff of the air. Rikyu turned towards Rin and bent down, grabbing Rin in a bridal-style hold.

"You sir, have kept your promise. Now I want you to take me to your safe place." Rikyu said, sending Rin a smirk.

Rin chuckled. "Don't say that just yet. We only got out of the cages. I haven't kept my promise until we are out of this place." Rin explained as he watched his tail wrap around Rikyu's hand.

Rikyu nodded before walking over to the door, fiddling with the handle to find it locked. He cursed, looking around before finding a vent next to Rin's cage. He gulped, knowing this was going to be a risk but he didn't want to be sold again and he definitely didn't want to see Rin go through this. The kid already looks so broken. Going through something as he did. But from what Alistair was saying Rin was going to be sold into sex slavery and Rikyu wouldn't be able to live with himself if Rin was caught and sold.

Rikyu walked over to the vent and placed Rin down on the floor. "I'm gonna push you through the vent. Can you crawl?" Rikyu asked.

Rin gulped, before shaking his head no. "I can't move my legs. It would take hours before I reached the place we needed to be." Rin says truthfully. Rikyu cursed under his breath before he heard the door being fiddled with. His lips curled up in a wicked grin as he rushed over to the door and hid behind it. Rin gasped before going flat against the cold floor, his red and gold Kimono getting dirty against the dusty ground.

The door opened, revealing a beefy man with keys and a thick suit. His eyes were closed as he whistled a tune. Rikyu looked down noticing the knife on the man's belt. He looked over at Rin and hinted for him to close his eyes. Rin didn't get the hint, but Rikyu knew he was wasting precious time. Rikyu rushed forward and wrapped his hand around the man's mouth before grabbing the knife. Rin knew what was coming and closed his eyes immediately. He has seen worse but for some reason, the instinct to close his eyes was done by the fear and flashbacks of when he fought Amaimon.

He heard a thud before he was being handled once again. Rin waited a moment before opening one eye, and looking up at Rikyu. He had a small splatter of blood on his cheek and Rin with his curiosity looked behind. He spotted the beefy man's feet on the ground, blood slowly spreading out. Immediately he turned back, placing a hand over his mouth, shaking. The image brought him back to Father Fujimoto, and how his corpse was just lying there. Rikyu must have felt Rin's violent shivers before his grip tightened.
