This chapter contains violence & gore & murder

















With the help of Kamisato Ayato and the rest of the Kamisato clan and their contacts, Itto was able to track down the location of where everybody was being held.
He was cautious entering that place yet upon further inspection the place looks rather...abandoned?
Itto comes out from hiding and just walks trough it like it is a casual stroll.
He inspects everything and when he sees the cells nothing seems off yet he does see that one of them has a lock of Gorou his hair in it.
The general is smart.
He cut a lock of his own hair off to leave it behind for Itto to find.
Itto picks it up but as he goes to stand up, he picks up this scent.
This scent is so familiar to him as he smells it every day, every night;
It was Gorou.
He must still be close by!
And thus Itto runs out of the cells to the place he smells the other yet seeing the other struggling in his binds, those binds that cut in his skin, his screaming muffle by the cloth in his mouth and the blindfold that is soaked with tears.

Seeing this Itto runs over to Gorou to safe him yet right before he could reach him he feels a hard blunt object hit the back of his head.
The impact was so intense he fell unconscious on the spot; falling right besides Gorou.



•• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ ••




Letting out a soft grunt when he slowly would start to wake up he can slowly hear voices fade in, the muffled screams and when Itto opens his eyes these blurred figures become more clear. They are all sitting in a circle made to look at one another as now Gorou his blindfold was off as well.
Sitting opposite from one another in the circle Itto looks around.
As expected, everybody that got kidnapped is there.
Gorou, Detective heizou, Thoma, kujou Sara, granny Oni, the gang, kuki, kazuha...everybody is there...

Gorou looks at Itto his eyes having tears welling up into them as he looks at Itto with tears rolling down his already tear strained cheeks.
He was trembling and he was scared of what would happen to his friends and his partner.

Ryota, the man Itto and Gorou ruined his life off walks to stand in the center of the circle.
"You must wonder why you are all here?"

More fear gets written across gorou his face.
It's my fault! It's all my fault!
He screamed from within yet those words never left his throat.
Luckily Thoma manages to scoot a little closer to him to try and reassure him but unlucky for Thoma he gets punched across the head for doing so as each person has a Nobushi standing behind them to make sure they do not do anything out of line and they make sure they do not escape either.

"Well you should thank the infamous General and the Arataki gang leader for the positions you are in. Just because they ruined my life four of you will die...
Two for the times the ruined my life, another two for killing my best friends... Ah I forgot three people" Ryota spoke and the Nobushi force the circle apart so three can join and it was Ryota his ex-wife, the general she ran away with and their son that he thought was his own child back then.
"What a wonderful reunion..."

The woman had tear stained cheeks and was badly beaten with the dried up blood still on her nose as the ex-general had it the worst and then their son.
"You can take my life and spare them"

Who said that was unexpected...
It was Granny Oni.
Itto spits the cloth from his mouth "NO I won't allow you to lay a finger onto her! Please...."

Ryota raises a brow watching the interaction go down yet he fully ignores Itto and just stares at Granny Oni "I admire your bravery ma'am..." he gets handed an debate club.
He raises it in the air and swings yet he hits the Ex-general his face full force instead of the elderly woman.
Jaw broken and skin torn of the man his face he falls to the ground dead in an instant due to the fatal hit.
The ex-wife of Ryota screamed out of horror and bursts into tears once more.
The son just glares up at Ryota feeling the blood of his father soak in his pants at his knees.
