~ Normal Point of View ~
The little boy kept staring at the disguised Molte. A few moments later, the disguised Molte signed and points the gun at the little boy.
The little boy did not move but inside he was totally different. 'Am I going to die today?'
Molte shoots five times to the little boy as the little boy prepares to meet his death. A few moments later, the little boy was shocked that he was not dead yet.
"Boy… are you alright?" while Molte reach out to touch the little boy, he flinched a little under the touch but otherwise did not move. "Ah… I already guessed you will be like this. Do not worry. I will not do anything to hurt you."
The little boy was confused. 'What…?'
The disguised Molte end down to the little boy's level and carried him bridal-style. The little boy discovered that the chains chaining him to the wall were now in half. The little boy wanted to ask Molte about it, but immediately shut his mouth.
Molte raised an eyebrow and look at the little boy. "What is it you wanted to ask me?"
The little boy only shakes his head.
Molte signed. "Fine, whatever you want. We are getting out of here."
The little boy immediately shakes his hands and legs lightly to ask about the chains.
"Oh… that. I will take the chains off when we reach a safer place. I cannot stay here too long, there should be more people coming to capture me because I had forced my way in."
The little boy wanted to ask a question again, but he did not.
Molte smirked. "I will explain later."
Suddenly, more footsteps were coming towards the two. "We are leaving now."
Molte wrapped the little boy with a black cloth and together they disappear with Molte using the mists produced by Molte.

On a nearby rooftop, mists appear and two people appear from it.
The disguised Molte puts the little boy down and takes away the black cloth from him. Then, he looks over to the Sporco Famiglia HQ and saw that many people were still searching for him. He signed and cast an illusion barrier around them.
The disguised Molte then looks at the little boy. "Boy… do you have any injuries?"
The little boy stares at him for a little while more and closes his eyes. "I-I am fine. Please do not call me 'boy', I dislike that name. My real name is…Byakuran."
The disguised Molte smiled a little but Byakuran did not see it as he was closing his eyes. "Oh… and why are you closing your eyes Byakuran?" while looking at him with interest.
"I cannot talk to anyone nicely with my eyes open. If I did, it will show hatred and disgust. I cannot afford that, I will get beaten and starved for doing it."
"Hmm~"
"But why… why did you save me from that 'prison'? You will get into trouble if they found out that you are with me."
The disguised Molte smiled again. But because Byakuran was closing his eyes he did not faint on it. "Someone told me to save you from the Sporco Famiglia."
"But… how did you… unless…?"
"Yes, my name is Molte, and I am a freelance hitman."
Byakuran gasps and opens his eyes that shows his eyes as pure as crystal. "Is that true? Somebody told you to save me?"
The disguised Molte pats Byakuran's head and laughed a little. "Yes, and you have eyes that are as beautiful as a crystal." Byakuran was confused. "Byakuran, you have three kinds of eyes right now. First, you once have a pure heart when you were a child that is why you have a pair of eyes that are as beautiful as a crystal right now that shows your joy at being rescued by someone."
Byakuran nods his head. "Okay… what about the second and the third?"
"The second and third kind of eyes are because of your stay in the Sporco Famiglia. The second kind is the hatred and disgust that your eyes show because you dislike being 'a toy' to the boss. The third kind is the submissive and emotionless kind because the boss forced you to submit to you, right?"
Byakuran nods. 'He is the first person to see through my heart… completely.'
"Well, we have to leave now."
Byakuran closes his eyes again. "Where are we going to?"
"My home, you need a shower."
Byakuran blushed and the disguised Molte lifted up Byakuran bridal-style while the illusion barrier around them disappears. Then, he started jumping through the roofs to go back to his apartment while Byakuran was listening to the wind.
