Note: Bowing one's head to the floor in Japan is a sign of extreme humiliation.
The basement was dark and cold. Uryu liked up to see his chained father. "Ryuken where am I?" Ryuken looked to the side. "Kana and Ichirou's doing. They're planning to eliminate you." Uryu's pupils shrunk and his sea blue eyes widened. "Why?" "Because, they want to be a family. A mom and dad, one child who has a cute girlfriend." Uryu fired his icy glare towards his father. "It's your fault." Ryuken looked back at him with his ice blue eyes that saw everything but reflected nothing. A man who has perfected his poker face. "I know." Uryu felt shocked seeing his father own up to what he has done. In the past he would drop the subject or blame it on him. "I should have been more loyal to your mother." "Yah, you should have." Ryuken was slightly angered by his comment. "Regardless, we've got to get out of here."
The door opened. "Well Uryu, time to die." Ichirou walked down the steps that creaked and screamed "Run!" Ichirou had a hatchet in one hand. His other slithered down the railing. "so, any last words before I chop you to pieces?" Uryu's breath was stolen by the sight of the hatchet. "None? You're not very fun." Ichirou showed his eggshell teeth in a wide evil smile. Ryuken shouted "Don't kill him! I'm the one you want anyway! Take me and let Uryu go!" Ichirou looked at the old doctor. "I can't take your head off. Mother would yell at me." Ryuken slumped his shoulders. Feeling defeated he placed his forehead to the ground. "Please, I'm asking you to let Uryu go. He has nothing to do with this. I'll stay with you and kana forever; you have my word."
A womanly voice from above said "Agreed." Ichirou turned around. Kana walked down the steps. "Ryuken, I'll let your son go. But you'll stay here and have no contact with your son forever." She kneeled down by Ryuken and brushed the hair out of his face. "Love me forever Ryuken." She whispered. With her left hand she cupped his cheek. With her right hand she gently laid on his shoulder. Her forehead rested with Ryuken's and she captured his lips. Uryu looked the other way. "That's gross." He thought to himself. Ichirou undid Uryu's shackles and lead him outside. "See you tomorrow at school Uryu-kun." Ichirou said with a sly smile as he closed the door
Uryu shuffled down the gloomy and depressing street. He stopped his feet and turned around. The father that never showed him love or affection was being held captive in that house. The man who betrayed his own blood by despising the quinces was being held. For his sake. But, by his pride as a Quincy he couldn't allow this injustice to take place. Uryu sprinted toward the house. "By my pride as a Quincy, I'll defeat you Ichirou!"
To be continued…
Yes I know Uryu probably couldn't see when he got outside but I want to progress the story instead of writing about Uryu's sight problems lol
