Sacred Killers - Akuma no yoru

No Escape

Unknown

As Kairo was standing from the chair, his legs were wobbly. He had still lost a lot of muscle mass and his body was weak. But eating helped to replenish some of his energy. The room was lit by the dim light that was enough to see everything around them.

[Kyutaro] *chuckling* I was very bored today so I decided that I would allow you to replenish some of your strength so I can have someone to play with.

[Kairo] Why not just kill me already?! Why are you letting me live?! So I can just be your little play toy that you can just treat however you want?!

[Kyutaro] *chuckling* Well you sure know me don't you?

[Kairo] Why you!

[Kyutaro] Still got some spunk in you I see? But you are right, it gets really boring around here when I'm not doing assignments for the boss. Then I found you two, the perfect play toys!

[Kairo] I'm not some play toy dammit...I'm a human.

[Kyutaro] You're talking a lot now that you've got some energy in your body? Have you forgotten your role?

Kyutaro held up his fist and balled it. It surged with bright blue electricity and his eyes glowed with blue light. Kairo held up his hands and squinted his eyes, barely any clothing on his body and hardly being able to move as he hadn't regained full strength. Kyutaro lunged forward and launched his fist, Kairo quickly dodged and cocked back his arm, aiming for his core, but Kyutaro simply flashed behind him. He drove his foot into Kairo's back, following up with a grab to his neck that he began to choke. Kairo grabbed onto his arm and scrunched up his face, struggling to breathe.

[Kyutaro] I hold the power, you obey me. Don't tell me what I should do.

Electricity surged in his fist and traveled into Kairo's body, shocking him with volts and volts until his body started to produce smoke. Kyutaro then, all whilst holding Kairo by his neck, drove him into the back wall before throwing more punches to his already bruised face. Kairo couldn't even dodge, let alone raise his hands at this point, all he could do was take the punches until his mouth leaked with blood and his body went limp. Eventually, he passed out, slouched on the back wall, breathing shallowly.

[Kyutaro] Hmmf...That was boring.

Kyutaro turned around and walked out of the room, turned off the light, and closed the door behind him, leaving Kairo in his predicament.

Meanwhile - In a secluded place

Inside a small medical room, Kotaro was lying in a bed with wraps on his body, unconscious. Kinoshiba sat beside him, watching him closely with his fingers intertwined with each other. The heart rate monitor beeped steadily on his body and suddenly, he woke up with a big gasp of air, shooting up into a sitting position, vision slightly blurry, looking at his hands, then at Kinoshiba.

[Kotaro] *breathing heavily* B-boss?

[Kinoshiba] Finally awake?

[Kotaro] What happened? I-I don't even remember a thing. I remember fighting then...I just blacked out I guess. How long was I out for?

[Kinoshiba] It's been about a week or two by now.

Kinoshiba let out a large sigh before looking at Kotaro in devastation.

[Kinoshiba] I'm sure you can guess the outcome based on your condition. What were you thinking? I told you-

[Kotaro] I know...but where's Rintatsuchi?

[Kinoshiba] He's currently in a coma, we don't know if he'll survive. Kyutaro was able to restart your heart as well as his, but his condition was severe. During that fight, I'm sure you awakened what was lurking inside of you, that stopped your body from deteriorating.
