Trails of Cold Brave Sky Chronicle 9: Memories of Millennia

Koru's Imprisonment (Warning: Gruesome)

This mentions detailed description of kidnapping and child abuse. You have been warned. Viewer discretion is heavily advised.

Naomi looked at Koru's eyepatch.

"How did you lose an eye?"

As if on cue, Ariel walked in. "I can explain it. However, I must warn you. It contains a lot of gruesome thoughts like abuse and torture."

Naomi gulped.

Ariel sighed, and began. "My mother had already kidnapped and killed nineteen other young boys the same way she tortured Koru."

Naomi was already queasy. "Oh, that sounds gruesome!"

The three walked to a unisex bathroom, and sat down after making sure it was clean. Ariel was sitting on one of her claws. Naomi had the trash can in her hands.

~A young Aki and Reito were hanging out late at night. Aki intended on staying the night.

"This is the first time I'm staying the night at a friend's place."

There was a knock on the door. Axle was the one who was at the door.

Meanwhile, at Aki's actual home, Umi, Rai, and Koru were eating dinner. Nobody was aware of what would happen later, as the area was quite safe.

Shortly later, the three went to sleep after taking a shower. After making sure everything was secure, Umi went back to her room.

Night struck. The bathroom window was carefully slid open, and Carrie snuck in.

Everybody was sleeping, leaving all of them vulnerable, but Carrie was here for her target: Koru.

After carefully sliding open some rooms, she found Koru sound asleep. She carefully picked him up, and snuck out the house from the front. Her infiltration was a success, and she had a victim. When he felt a bump, Koru woke up and screamed. Carrie knocked him out with a light chop to his head.

Carrie returned home, and knew that Ariel was sleeping. She quickly went to the basement, and chained Koru in midair.

The next morning passed, and a plate of food was right under Koru. He was wide awake, and didn't know where he was, but he knew he was kidnapped. He tried screaming for help, but to no avail.

Back at Koru's home, Umi went to wake up Koru, and saw nobody was there, and the front door, bathroom window, and Koru's bedroom door were all wide open. Immediately, Umi screamed, waking several neighbors.~

Naomi was already quite queasy, and almost barfed.

~"Umi! I heard you scream? What's the matter?"

Umi fell to the ground in tears. "S-Someone kidnapped Koru overnight!"

The authorities came in, and designated the place off limits due to the crime occurring.

"Rai, I'm going to go to Susan and Darrell's place before I go to work."

Umi grabbed a case, and ran out in tears. After arriving at Susan's home, she pounded on the door. Immediately, Darrell answered.

"D-Darrell! I need Susan here as well. It's urgent."

Susan stepped out of the room. "What was it you needed to talk about?"

Umi wiped her face. "I need you to take care of Aki for a while. There's an emergency at home which I can't let him know about."

Susan handed Umi a handkerchief. "Did something happen with you and Rai?"

Umi shook her head. "It's about Koru. Someone kidnapped him."
