The purple-haired male gagged as he saw the blood, his mouth was soon covered by the hand of Ryuseis smaller brother. He glared at him deeply making them shiver a bit as they soon looked away and into the eyes of the other, "Akane, I'm fine..." He said his voice muffled under his hand before he removed it. "That would have been a bad idea anyway...if I did throw up. " He said
"Shut up." Akane snapped annoyed, Amaya looked at Akane, who was her uncle,  and smiled softly at him but he was still stale-faced. She then looked at the other male and patted their shoulder before using sign language to say his name but slowly tilted her head. Chieko sighed at her and shook his head as Akane watched over his big brother.
"What do you mean Kaito.?" Ryusei with a calming sigh raising his sword from Brandons head, he was almost relieved.
"Well, first we need to heal this thing." He said walking up to the ear of Ryusei for the last part, he nodded his head and removed his foot from Brandons chest.
"Don't try anything," he did in a menacing tone cleaning off his sword with two individual fingers and putting the Katana back on his back.
"You owe us a favor, we are not going to get arrested and caught by the police or heroes because of you, so, you will do something for us and if you don't you will be personally hunted down. I will make sure you rot in a painful.death." Kaito said. Brandon was tired of being pushed around but he really couldn't take the risk of dying out here knowing this place had to be away from the city. Not a single car was heard, the city would have started to hustle and bustle at this hour even the backstreets.
"How about," Brandon said, "you help me as well, the more distractions in the streets the fewer eyes looking for you, Kaito." He laid there limply holding his chest Kaito almost wanted to let this thing die because even at the brink of death it still tried to make deals with him, yet, it was an offer that would be hard to refuse. On the other hand, everything and everyone would be on the line for it, they were almost upright cowards for sitting in the shadows and letting everything happen, but he never knew those Villains nor did the squad.
He breathed fire onto his hand for a bit on the blue side before going out, his hand was burning hot. He knew he didn't have to do this but he honestly hated Brandon already and thought his wound deserved to be cauterized, once really hurt but did heal. Brandon saw this and tried to painfully get up. He groaned deeply before Ryusei went over to Kaito.
"Don't do that here, I already had to clean the mess it made throw it outside or something." He grumbled as Kaito growled a bit before Brandon started to float up
"I can do it myself." He spat "Disrespectful children. " He added as Ryusei glared at him walking away.
"This better be worth it," Ryusei said to Kaito as he once again smirked and looked over at Brandon who looked away quickly nothing but anger on his face. He slowly floated to the couch and laid himself down looking down at the dog bowl still there reminding him about 6:30 this morning, he turned his head, that was probably one of his far fetched triggers. He hated looking at the bowl and it being near him.
"Alright, whoever you are, be still," Kaito said in a non-angry voice for once lifting Brandons shirt, this made him very uncomfortable since he could have just opened up his shirt through the hole in his shirt but he just dealt with it. He had mildly forgotten that Kaito was about to torture him for a bit, Kaitos fingers neared the open wound before he gave his last warning, "Bite your lip, I'm not trying to hear you scream." He said as Brandon just did what he said, he had to milk their mercy for now.
Kaitos fingers went across the epidermis of the wound to stop the bleeding, he was using the untouched parts of Brandons shirt to wipe the blood from on top of it, Brandon continued to drool in copious amounts, he couldn't tell what was happening and felt like he was sweating bullets often having to swallow or he would choke on the pain as well as his saliva. From behind this didn't look right at all, Amaya and Chieko were still in the room watching them while sitting on the other nearby couch. Jack walked out of his room and waved at Akane as he walked away without a single word. Jack still smiled he walking through the living space and out of the door to take his daily walk alike a little petrol, but it was all fun to him.
The wound went all the way across Brandon's chest so some parts cut deeper than others, he tried his best not to breathe as hard knowing the up and down movement would definitely mess Kaito up thus making the wound worse. Kaito glanced up at Brandon only for a second and didn't say a thing to him, he saw that his eyes were closed and his face was scrunched up probably not a good sight to see at that angle whatsoever. A little bit halfway through, Kaito had to heat his hand again and it slowly hurt his hand before quickly putting it out the pain from his hand slowly rose and he a slow 'agh' sound as he got up leaving Brandon to take a break from the agonizing pain. He watched as he walked into the other room and yelled probably in pain but it sounded like extreme anger.
Chieko and Amaya couldn't do anything about Brandons situation, they didn't know why Kaito was sealing the wound for didn't he hate him? Why was he giving mercy? Chieko looked over at Amaya who believe it or not was technically his sister, he sighed before starting to do signs with his hands. He had learned sign language just for her, he was somewhat ignored as Amayas eyes were locked onto the blood on the floor. He grabbed a cloth that was hanging nearby to clean it up snapping her out of it and glancing around locking eyes with Brandon who was unintentionally glaring at her.
Stepping over Chieko like a stepping stool came Kaito with bandages in his left hand and wrapped around the burn marks on his right hand, he walked back to Brandon who shirt was still up, and looked at the mostly closed wound. It was almost suspicious how long he was looking at it for.
"Can you please close the wound already," Brandon said bothered at his starring making Kaito look back up at him as Chieko finished up cleaning the blood saving Ryusei the trouble. Kaito didn't say a thing to Brandon's remark and begin to finish up closing up the wound for the last few minutes.

The time was 11:05 am

Kaito finished and bandaged Brandon up leaving him alone, if anything he was tired or Brandon and his shady remarks about him and this deal. He just may ask Ryusei if they can accept. They could all be free and walk around for once, so many possibilities.
Kaito walked put of the room to Ryuseis room, Akane and him shared a room together and he could hear them chatting beyond the door.
"You gave our prey mercy? " Akane said completely oblivious of what Kaito had told him in his ear thus angered at his brother thinking he was becoming weak.
"Akane." Ryusei said tenderly "Kaito gave us a deal. A deal that is risky, but hard to refuse. For the greater good of all of us, we must accept the deal in order to get the money." Ryusei said in a calm tone. Kaito knocked at the door a few times and the room stayed silent before he heard steps and the door opened. Kaito looked at him before walking in and standing away from him a bit.
"So-" he stopped himself knowing if he said that that would have implied that he was listening, "Do you accept the deal? I have something that the thing has also ... asked us about." Kaito acted proper, it was unlike him and Ryusei quickly picked this up yet didn't address it.
"What did they say now." Akane groaned before Ryusei could speak
"Well, they wanted us to help them break the villain/criminals out of jail so we can do as we please while the heroes and police are distracted. Ya know this seems very outstretched in my opinion." His voice became more gritty near the end he squinting his eyes.
Brandon laid there quietly, he slowly sat up just to feel the burning sensation of the closed wound his chest was less of a ribcage and more like an actual male chest but not fully defined since if he laid down his ribcage would show more than usual. He floated up to his usual height as Jack walked in and looked at him, they had a moment of deep rivalry before Jack left the room almost intimidated by his stare.
Ryusei looked at Akane, he almost seemed stressed out about the situation, "Do you know how many times I had to lie about who I am? Just for our safety? We have to take risks to survive and to not take this one would mean we would be surviving on the skin of our teeth! We have to stay ahead so the littlest thing won't kick us off!" He shouted making everyone in the room quiet now within their thoughts.  Akane once again broke the silence.
"Ryusei..."
