After Rin had fallen back asleep, Suguro and Rikyu decided it was time to talk. Suguro was leaning against the cage, glancing over at Rin every once in a while, still unconvinced of Rin's new ego change. Rikyu decided to break the silence, sighing into the cold room.
"This escape plan, how does it work?" He asked, snatching Suguro's attention.
Suguro thought for a moment before chuckling, mainly to himself. "Well uh… it was supposed to involve calling the group, tell them our location and they would find a way into the facility to save us." He explained, looking over at Rin. "But with his new attitude… I don't know how this will end well."
Rikyu shifted in the cage, wrapping his hand around the bar, so he was facing Suguro, a determined look in his features. "I'd like to help." He explained.
Suguro smirked, looking at him, before remembering the sigil. He brought his hand up to the paper, muttered the words, before pulling out the phone and lock picks. He placed them on the bed, looking over at Rikyu who had the biggest smile on his face.
"Sneaky." He praised. "What's the phone for?"
"This." He picked it up and dialed Yukio's number. It rang twice before Yukio answered.
"Suguro?" He asked.
"It's me, Okumura. I made it." He explained.
There was a pause on the other end before shuffling could be heard. "Is Rin with you?" Yukio asked.
"Yeah, hes sleeping." He paused, looking down at his hands sadly. "He's in bad shape, Okumura. We need to hurry."
"Is he hurt?" Yukio asked, his voice giving a hint of concern, but was trying to mask it.
Suguro chuckled. "Lets just say he's given up. He's hurt, Yukio." Suguro looked up at Rikyu who nodded. "But we have a chance to get him help. Have you started getting a location?" Suguro asked.
There was a longer pause that honestly made SUguro question if the call was still even going until he heard the click of buttons. "We have a general idea. What room are you in?" He asked.
Suguro was caught off guard. He was supposed to keep an eye on where they take him, but he honestly didn't know. The he remembered. He locked eyes with Rikyu, pointing at him. "Rikyu, what room are we in? Do you know?" He asked, pointing the phone down away from his mouth.
Rikyu folded his arms. "We are in the main room next to Wing C. It's a big red door with a gold number 13 on it." He explained.
Suguro nodded, relaying the words to Yukio who jotted it down quickly. "Okay, we will head out soon. I will send a message when we enter the premises. Keep the phone on you. Once the text is sent, unlock the cages."
The main doorknob was being jiggled making Suguro panic, he hung up, before hiding the lock pick and phone under the layers of sheets. He relaxed against the cage just as the door opened, revealing Alistair standing in a neon Pink suit with newly colored white and blue hair. He walked in, throwing up his hands.
"My, My. Isn't this a poetic room." He states, his mellow voice reverberating off the walls. Suguro glared at Alistair, making Alistair pout. "Now thats no way to greet your Savior." He explained, his cold red eyes making a tingle go down his spine.
"Savior? More like a psychotic sociopath visiting his trophies." Suguro spat, earning a look from Rikyu.
Alistair smirked, slowly making his way to his cage. Suguro backed away from the bars slightly when Alistair rested his arm on the top. His eyes looked over at Suguro slightly amused at his vain attempt to be a smartass. "Trophies? Is that what you think you are to me?" Alistair asked.
Suguro gulped, nothing comes to mind that would sound smartass to say. So Instead he remains quiet, his silence being his answer.
Alistair leaned down, leveling his face to Suguro's. "Trophies are worth showing off." He pointed to Rin and Rikyu. "These are trophies," he then pointed to Suguro, a shark toothed grin making him shiver. "You are nothing but my energy releasing meat bag. And It's your time to shine." He backed away, putting his hands in his pockets.
Suguro was confused, until he saw Alistair's men walk towards the cage. "What are they doing?" Suguro asked, watching as they opened the cage. They gripped his chains, dragging him towards the entrance. Suguro kicked the hands, fighting his way to the entrance. "Let me go you nasty fucks!" Suguro snapped.
The commotion seemed to stir Rin awake who slowly lifted his head to see what exactly all the noise was. When his eyes focused, he saw Alistair turned away from him and the body guards both holding an arm of Suguro who was trying to resist them, his hair falling in front of his face from trying to wiggle free. When they were in front of Alistair with Suguro in hand, Alistair chuckled, amusingly.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you." He explained, stepping closer to Suguro. "I only want to see how much pain a human can endure until they black out. I assume it doesn't take much. You are weak creatures." He explained.
"Do your worst." Suguro spat. As Alistair nodded, walking out of the room, Suguro looked over at Rikyu. Once he was looking, Suguro nodded towards his cage. "Protect it." He said before he was shoved out of the room, the door slamming behind him.
Rin was confused. Where was Suguro being taken? What did he mean by protect it? Rin decided to ask. "Where are they taking him?" Rin croaked, his throat dry.
Rikyu shot his gaze up to Rin, a bit surprised to see him up. "Rin? When did you wake up?" Rikyu asked, hoping to distract him from the question he just asked.
It didn't work. "During the commotion. Where are they taking him?" Rin asked once again.
Rikyu sighed. "Alistair took him." He explained before finally looking at Rin, flinching when he sees the still healing eye.
"I got that. Why did he take him?" Rin asked.
Rikyu sighed, looking over at Suguro's cage, seeing the top of the phone slightly exposed. "They took him to Alistair's room." He explained. "To torture him."
That seemed to snap something in Rin. Even through the slight pain, he slowly sat up into a sitting position. "Did you just say torture?" Rin asked.
Rikyu nodded. "The only reason he captured Suguro, was so that he can do an experiment." He looked at Rin, seeing a fire burn in his eye. "He wanted to see how much torture a human can go through before they black out." He explained, getting up on his knees, looking for something to help bring Suguro's cage closer.
Rin on the other hand couldn't help but think about how his capture is leading Suguro to be tortured. He, himself was a half demon. He can heal fast, but Suguro was human. Anything that is done to him could take months. Suddenly he was feeling guilty. It was his fault Suguro was captured. It was his fault for giving up. It was all his fault.
Rikyu cursed, causing Rin to snap his attention to Rikyu. He noticed that Rikyu was reaching for something in Suguro's cage. "What are you doing?" Rin asked.
Rikyu sighed. "Suguro was waiting for a text by someone named Yukio. They are on their way with a rescue team. I need that phone." Rikyu snapped.
Rin looked at the distance between Rikyu and Suguro's cage. Rikyu wouldn't be able to reach it, but if Rin could use his flames and melt one of the bars off of his own cage, he could use it to drag the cage closer. It would take less effort than trying to break out of the cage.
Rin was determined now, finding his inner fire. He was ready to get back in there. He has to. For Suguro. "I have a plan." Rin said, as he started to explain it.
