Yukio nearly collapsed when his eyes landed on his older brother in the cage. His eye was still healing and it was glazed over like a bowl of milk. He had bruises that showed and his tears triggering Yukios. He put his gun away, quickly going to the cage as he pulled out the keys they got from one of the guards and put it in, unlocking the cage. Once it was opened, Yukio practically dragged Rin out of the cage, hugging him.
Finally being able to see Yukio after a week and a half of nothing but torture was almost like a blessing. He never wanted to lose this moment again. The words of the past didn't seem to matter. They stayed like this for a minute, before Yukio finally let go of him, smiling, the questions he seemed to be building up not bothering to spill. The moment just wasn't right.
Rin, even in the heat of the moment remembered Suguro. He gasped, grabbing onto Yukio's arms as if to brace himself. "Bon. He was taken not too long ago. We need to rescue him." Rin explained.
Yukio nodded. "We know. We need to get you out of here first." Yukio explained.
Yukio went to reach for Rin, but Rin shook his head. "Get him out. He is stronger than you, Yukio. You need to shoot people that get close to us. Rikyu can carry me." He explained.
"But Rin-" Shura cut Yukio off, walking into the room with the other students.
"No arguing. Do what he says." Shura said.
Yukio nodded, grabbing the keys and walking over to Rikyu's cage. Yukio was a bit cautious, but when Rikyu bowed his head in respect, his shoulders relaxed slightly. He unlocked the cage, stepping back as Rikyu crawled out of the cage. Yukio and the others watched as Rikyu jumped out, darting immediately to Rin. He engulfed Rin in a hug.
"I'm sorry for everything that happened. If I would have known he planned to do it to you, I wouldn't have egged him on. I didn't want to say this until I knew you would be safe." He explained, causing Rin to tear up again. "I won't apologize again until you are safe. I promise." He explained.
Rin nodded, before letting Rikyu continue to pull him out of the cage, once he was, Rikyu lifted Rin in a bridal style carry. Throughout that ordeal, the others couldn't help but wonder what it was all about, but more importantly who He was and why he had such a close relationship with Rin.
"Now that Rin is taken care of, where is Suguro?" Shima asked, shifting his weight uncomfortably.
"Suguro was most likely taken to the torture floor." Rikyu explained. "it's the only place high enough for people not to escape and high enough to not tip off the locals with screams."
"And what floor is that?" Shura asks, folding her arms.
"The 13th floor. 4 more above us. We can take the stairs." He explained.
They nodded. "Right then. Let's get our asses going to we can get home." Shura snapped. They made their way out of the room and down the dark purple and black hallway. Other rooms were near them but they all had their own colors to them.
As they made their way to the stairs, the loud bells went off in the hallways startling them. Rikyu cursed. "They know you are here. We need to get Suguro quickly. Go!" Rikyu snapped, ushering everyone into the stairs. Once they were in there, they made their way up the stairs quickly but quietly, trying to make sure not to tip anyone.
As they neared the floor they needed to go to, they heard the doors a couple flights below them open. Yukio stopped them, all of them were quiet, listening for some footsteps, but instead the same door opened and closed again. They waited a few more before started walking again. Rin glanced over the railing to see just how high they were, slightly startling him to realize it. He whipped his head back around, burying it deep in the nape of Rikyu's neck.
Rikyu tightened his hold on Rin as they neared the floor they were desperate to find. Yukio opened the door, lifting his gun, but to their surprise, it was eerily quiet, giving all of them an unwanted feeling in their guts. Rikyu spotted the familiar door, nodding his head to it.
"That red door right there is most likely where Suguro is." He explained.
"What are we waiting for, lets go." Izumo snapped. Shura nodded in agreement as they all filled out into the hallway. Cautiously they made their way to the door, stopping just shy of it when the handle turned. Yukio lifted his gun as Shura held up her sword, ready to fight.
The door opened and to their surprise, Suguro came barreling out, his clothes were a mess and his body looked flushed. He jumped back seeing them all standing there. "Took you long enough." He breathed out, his eyes travelling to Rin who wasn't even looking at him, instead was looking anywhere else. Yukio stepped forward, helping to steady Suguro who looked ready to keel over any second.
"Are you okay?" Shima asked.
Suguro shivered at the thoughts, but didn't want to say anything. Instead he just nodded. Yukio looked over at the doors and turned his attention back to the group. "Once we leave this place, we all need to get to a well lit place. No one will leave eachother behind. Etsuya and Masami are waiting by the car." He looked at Rikyu who was staring down at Rin. "Rikyu." He caught his attention, his purple eyes looking over at Yukio.
"Hmm?" Rikyu hummed. "Keep Rin safe." He said.
Rikyu smirked, nodding. "Of course." He said.
Shima stepped forward to help Yukio with Bon, as they made it to the elevator. They knew with practically carrying Suguro, they couldn't go down the stairs. They made their way to the elevator, tapping impatiently as they stood their. That's when Rin felt it, the familiar presence that made him tense up. He shot his head up, looking over Rikyu's shoulder, seeing Alistair standing very close to them, holding a finger to his lips, a smirk on his face.
Even if Rin wanted to speak, his body didn't seem to listen to him. His mind wouldn't let him talk. He could tell his expression said it all because Alistair looked amused. Rin spotted the shadows spread towards them and thats when Rin found voice.
"Rikyu, look out!" He screamed.
Rikyu jumped to the side, practically bumping into the wall. The shadows spread out and gripped Rin's ankle, making him panic. Shura used her sword and slashed the shadow. "Move!" She demanded as the elevator door opened. She helped Rikyu up and shoved him into the elevator. Once they were inside they quickly closed the elevator door.
"Nice job, Miss." Rikyu says, a smile on his face.
Shura smirked, obviously liking the compliment. They sighed, Suguro shared a look over at Rin seeing him visibly shaking, his eyes saying everything. The elevator made its way down and when it opened in the lobby, it was dark. When they came up it was brightly lit, now it was very sketchy. Rikyu clutched Rin close as they ran towards the front door. They were surprised when no one got in there way.
When they made it to the door, The group ran out first, Rikyu and Rin last to leave the building. Etsuya ushered for them to come over to the car. They did, jumping in fast. Masami immediately driving off towards their hotel. Rin looked behind, the back window, seeing Alistair standing there, mouthing something that made Rin pale.
'I will see you soon.' was what he had mouthed. Rin looked over at Suguro who shifted uncomfortably in the seat, looking pained. Rin seemed to deflate againstRikyu, his stoma bag now making itself known. Rin groaned, grabbing his side.
Rikyu looked over at him. "Is it getting worse?" He asked, catching everyone's attention.
Rin nodded.
Rikyu looked at Yukio who was eyeing them. "We need to stop at a hospital. Because his bag hasn't been emptied or cleaned its gotten infected." He explained, reaching for Rin's kimono and lifting it up. Everyone recoiled when they saw the amount of cuts and bruises still on his stomach, but what made Yukio curse was the fact the Stoma bag was bright purple and yellow, looking sore and red to the touch. He turned to Masami who was driving.
"Stop at the hospital. We need to get them looked at." Yukio demands.
Masami nods, looking in the rearview mirror at both Rikyu and Rin. Rin had fallen asleep in Rikyu's arms, and the others looked relieved to see the heartwarming situation. Even Koneko who was accepting Rin. Suguro on the other hand kept closed off, staring out the window, shivering every time he thinks about Alistair's hands touching him and his mouth on his shoulder, he just wanted to jump in the shower and scrub everything. It made him wonder if this level of fear and ptsd that he is feeling was the same as Rin's. If so he finally understood and suddenly the words he has said in the past made him cringe. No matter how much he hated it, the only person he wanted to talk to about this was Rin.
With this thought fresh in his mind, he looked out the window, seeing the hospital come into view, making him nearly deflate with relieve. He looked over at Rin who was asleep, cuddled close to Rikyu, who was looking out the window. This scene made him relax. Seeing Rin safe gave him a feeling he couldn't explain. Rin had fight, he just needed a push. Now its time to let him heal and Suguro was determined to help him.
