Prelude:
??? "WAKE UP!" *SLAP*
Some footsteps are heard, a blinding light flickers on to reveal a cheek bruised Itsuki tied to a chair on one end of a long table and a Shadowy figure standing on the other side behind the light*
Itsuki: Where are we Mister Sensui? Where are you? Who is this creature before me?
Shadowy figure "What is your name?"
Itsuki turns his head left and closes his eyes*
Shadowy figure "Noncompliancy will not be tolerated. Your silences and lies will count as actions against us. We have ways to deal with your type if need be."
"Us? We?" Itsuki inquired.
"Hold your tongue!" the sillouette began, "As we have more torturous means of punishment than simply cutting it off. You controlling who asks what right now? Proposterous! This is your last chance: Now, move your tongue before I remove it. Do you understand Mister...?"
"It's Itsuki."
The sillouette continued "Well, Itsuki, the body we found you with happens to be a key ingredient in our research. After we read your emotional ties to him, thanks to the help of one of our specialists, we determined you could give us any missing intel we may need..."
The figure steps out to the side of the light. Emitting a high ranking demon energy from within a bulky red suit of armor. Covered in spikes, cloth hanging from the right side of the helmet, not an inch of flesh or eyes in sight. It slams its hands on the table.*
Itsuki looks forward after a 5 second pause* "Okay. I'll tell you all I know of my love: Shinobu Sensui."
The creature in armor leans forward and down*
"However, I will be doing this for his sake. In honor of his life, not yours." Itsuki finished
"Huh! And if we use this infromation for OUR goals?" Red Armor Demon retorted calmly.
Itsuki smiles and closes his eyes.* "Impossible. For not even the most potent artificial means of creation can emulate a will like Shinobu's."
Red Armor Demon chuckles lightly in his deep voice*
"I'd admire your confidence more if it wasn't so misguided..."
