Sacred Killers - Akuma no yoru

Lost Hope

Maki's wound still dripped with blood, it was a decent size cut. Mujin, worried about his son, couldn't think of any way that he could've gotten hurt aside from maybe him. Maybe he scratched his face while playing, or maybe he was playing a bit rough with Maki but either way the wound appeared somehow.

[Mujin] *shameful* D-did I do this? I'm so sorry-

[Maki] No dad! It wasn't you, I-I just scratched my face a little too hard or something.

[Mujin] Scratching your face wouldn't do something like that.

[Maki] I promise I'll be fine, let's just do something else.

[Mujin] First we need to get that cleaned up and patched, let's go back home.

[Maki] Okay.

[Mujin] We can come back after, just sit tight.

Meanwhile - Unknown

Kairo opened his eyes, vision blurry, breathing faint, blinded by a bright light. Seconds passed, and he finally got adjusted but he had no idea as to where he was as the light was brighter than before. Then, he tried to move, yet he was restrained by something, holding down each one of his limbs and body. As much as he tried to move, he could barely even lift his head up as his arms were strapped down as well. Coming into view, hovering over Kairo blocking the light for a brief moment, was Kyutaro.

[Kyutaro] Oh, you woke up so soon.

[Kairo] *confused* What are you doing? Where am I?

[Kyutaro] My examination room I guess you can say. I'm here to look at your wounds and see what I can do about them.

[Kairo] Why? For what reason?

[Kyutaro] I don't want you dying too soon, I doubt you want to either, so I might as well help.

[Kairo] But, how are you going to do that?!

[Kyutaro] Stop questioning me and just relax.

Kyutaro grabbed a sewing needle out of his pocket and a thread.

[Kyutaro] Let's see, I guess I'll just use this and do some stitching.

[Kairo] *anxious* W-wait a minute...

The needle point was slightly dull and rounded, almost like it's been used multiple times to the point where it wouldn't pierce into the skin very well. Kyutaro also grabbed gauze and alcohol from behind him and got prepared.

[Kairo] *shook* W-w-wait up...You can't use that! And I'm still awake!

[Kyutaro] Quiet...If you tell me what I can't do one more time, or if you mess me up while I'm stitching your wounds, I'll simply make it more painful. You might as well sit back and relax, and we can get this over with as quickly as possible.

Following this later

Muigetsu woke up on the operation table as well, strapped up just as Kairo was. He broke out into a sweat as he knew what was coming for him.

[Muigetsu] Just what are you planning to do now...

[Kyutaro] Quiet, don't you make me mess up.

Kyutaro pulled the same needle and thread out of his pocket; blood could be visible on the tip of the needle point.

[Muigetsu] *very anxious* Oh god...Just why. Dammit! Why can't you just get this over with and fucking let me go or kill me!

[Kyutaro] *chuckling* What's the fun in that? I finally have someone to play with. It's quite enjoyable isn't it? If only you could hear those screams, they're beautiful.
