Defy
Chapter 14
Author Notes: Now I can see some rather angry individuals in the shadows *evil red eyes gleam in rage* I said I was sorry! I promise this series has a happy ending!
It's just going to be a rough long path towards said happy ending. Don't kill me! I don't own Nanbaka (if I did...it'd probably be more horrifically sad and dark then it already is)
3rd P.O.V
Uno had his cheek resting against his palm as he chiseled on the slab of wood in front of him, slightly bored and unable to truly focus. Jyugo hasn't returned yet despite the quote on quote 'quick' checkup. Leaving poor Rock to make the furniture all on his own.
"Waha it's done~" At least Nico was enjoying himself, making another robot from one of his favorite animes-and this time no Hajime to beat the crap out him as punishment. Still, the mischievous brit couldn't find himself to care. "Hey Yamato?" The workaholic turned towards him, a smile on his face.
The weird guard had been working alongside the prisoners with making furniture, and was making quite the collection. Uno could've filled an entire apartment full of the high quality handmade tables, drawers and chairs Yamato was making. "What is it Number 11?"
Pushing his pieces and tools away he stands, cracking his shoulders. "You mind if I head to the infirmary?" Rock and Nico stop in their assigned tasks as well, listening. "Oh are you hurt?" Yamato analyzed the convict from head to toe, seeing no injuries on his toned body.
"No. I wanted to check up on Jyugo. Him and Seitarou haven't come back and it's been awhile, i'm getting kinda worried." Before Uno could get permission the sirens went off, startling the entire prison. "Wh-what the!?"
They were warning signals-usually going off when someone made an attempt to escape, well when four someones make an attempt to escape. "Why's it going off?" Yamato's face turned stern before morphing into shock as another set of sound signals went off.
He reacted fast, turning to those under his charge with a harsh gaze. "Everyone is to return to their cells. We're under an emergency lockdown! Line up quickly!" So stunned with his no nonsense tone and in general panicky at the news they all did as told.
Uno bit his lip as he followed the others, he had hoped to find Jyugo already waiting for them in their little room. But his anxiety grows when he finds it empty. "Yamato where's Jyugo? He should of beat us here." The deputy supervisor unfortunately had no answers.
"Number 15 is more than likely staying in the medical ward due to the lockdown. Unlike the working buildings, it has food, supplies and a stronger security system for emergencies such as this." All he knew was that he had to follow protocol.
Hajime would return soon-hopefully with information and orders from the warden. For now he had to wait, making sure the criminals under his control were protected and in their proper place. "I'll contact Seitarou and check up on his and Number 15's status. So sit tight for now-I shall return!"
The boys waited a solid five minutes after Yamato's departure before making their move. Uno immediately started messing with the lock to their cell. There was no way any of them could just sit there and wait while their friend was missing.
None of them wanted to voice out their worries, but the memories of two months ago burned into their minds much like a scar that refused to go away. "Do you think-?" Nico couldn't finish his sentence, afraid that if he said it-it would be a reality. Uno clenched his jaw as he continued messing about with the lock.
"I don't know, but regardless i'm going to find out." With a triumphant cheer, his hard work is rewarded as the lock clatters to the ground. "Yes!" Rock stared in awe, it wasn't as fast if their friend did it, but Uno had been paying attention.
Watching those black painted fingers work their magic, he picked up a trick or two. "Good work man." Together they ran straight for Building 13's medical ward. "I though Yamato said it was under lockdown?"
The door in front of them was wide open, the lights within it off, covering the interior in darkness. Uno shivered, feeling cold air tickle his skin, it seemed so sinister. "Jyugo? Seitarou?" They didn't even take even one step inside before a strong aroma hit their nostrils. Copper and rust.
"Someone turn on the lights!" Rock fumbled along the walls, just as desperate as the others to find some sort of light. Only to trip, his arm grazing over cold metal. He flinched before furrowing his brows, the texture seeming familiar as his fingers continue to roam.
It hits him within a second. "Holy crap! I found Kaguya." She was turned off, placed into sleep mode and tossed into a corner. Running his hands along her form, he searched for her switch, giving a little shout of triumph as Kaguya's eyes open and gives a small glow. "System rebooting."
Uno wasted no time. "We need some light Kaguya!" She nodded in the darkness, though Uno who stuck towards the door frame couldn't see such movement. "Understood, lights on." The light in her eyes grew brighter, acting as a flashlight. Their victory was short lived as they followed her line of sight.
"Oh my god no! No Jyugo!" Uno ran, nearly tripping himself trying to reach his beloved. Nico fell to his knees in shock, tears flowing down his cheeks while his hand gripped Rock's pant leg. The muscular man himself felt like punching something. "What did he do to deserve this?!" No one answered Rock.
They couldn't. Jyugo was stripped naked, revealing his true gender for all to see, the only thing covering him is blood, still warm and sticky. She was on her knees, her hands stabbed together into the wall.
Uno choked back the tears as he reached his hands forward, cupping her face. Her eyes were closed, desperately he wanted them to open. "Jyugo love-please wake up!" She was barely breathing, small puffs of air as she fought to awaken.
"U-no." Aki felt so weak and sick. Her purple and green eyes were puffy and swollen from tears, dull glass orbs that reflected her boyfriend's heartbreaking expression. He mustered a shaky smile, trying to be strong. "That's right, come back to me."
He had to be right now. A sob broke through her hoarse throat. "Uno I'm sorry! I-!" She shuddered and coughed, blood trickling down her lip. "Shh, it's ok. Calm down before you hurt yourself. I'm gonna get you out." Her gaze landed on Rock and Nico as he rose from his spot.
Grimacing at the sharp blade embedded into her hands. "J-Jyugo? Is that really you?" They approached slowly, unsure of how to react. "Ah!" Her hands dropped to the ground as her boyfriend swiftly removed the weapon.
Red continues pouring through the holes but she couldn't feel it, her hands were numb from being in that position for so long. "Sorry!" The pain was quick and she was grateful. On shaky legs Aki tried to stand, purposely ignoring Nico's question.
"Kaguya, flash your light towards the backroom!" The robot nurse does as told, and though she stumbled, Aki made her way. She could die of humiliation for her appearance later, she had to find Seitarou. He was back there. "Jyugo you shouldn't be moving!"
Her three inmates catch up to her, just in time to watch her crumble back onto the floor. A shrill scream echoing throughout the room. Alerting guards to their destination. For being caught out of their cells' during the lockdown should've meant a terrible punishment for the group.
But not one person cared about that. "Seitarou..." The meek pretty boy was on the cold hard ground. His eyes were opened, revealing his fear for the world to see. Aki pushed her shaking fingers forward, not wanting to believe it.
It was so hard for her to intake oxygen. She was on the verge of collapsing from shock, her injuries were still wide open and pouring precious blood, but she didn't care. She needed to know for sure, she survived her wounds, so he had to too. She wanted to believe it.
"Seitarou I'm sorry." But there was no denying the fact he was gone. Elf the sadistic monster had slashed at the young mans neck, slicing his jugular in a clean swipe. Another heartbreaking wail burst from her lungs, sorrow clear as she held the dead guard's hand in hers.
This was all her fault. All hers, if she wasn't here Elf wouldn't have come here. Seitarou wouldn't have died. Just how many more people was he going to take away from her? How much would he take before he was satisfied.
"Jyugo!"
To be continued
Author Notes: It's always the good guys that die. I was really contemplating if I was going to have Seitarou live or not. He doesn't deserve death with what a sweetheart he is.
But on the other hand Elf would've seen him as a threat, especially since Seitarou would've fought him trying to do the right thing. Who would've thought one little google image of Jyugo in a dress apparently marrying/shipping with Elf would've inspired such a crazy roller coaster of a story?
Well i'm happy~ Guys if your liking this so far please feel free to fav/follow/review as I appreciate all the love my stories get! Tchao for now~
