Kiri opens his eyes and notices Akane is in front of him. "Lady Akane!" He stands up and tries to walk up to her; however, he falls backwards. He looks down and realizes he was handcuffed to the wall. "Damn." He turns to Akane. "Lady Akane!" He kept calling her, but she didn't respond.
He notices blood on her side of her head. He gasped. The door opens. Man #1 said, "Man, can you stop with your yapping?"
Kiri glares at him and asks, "What did you do to her?"
He shrugs and said, "Nothing yet."
"Then how did she get the blood on the side of her head?"
"Ah...that. Well, she was resisting so..."
Kiri wants to kill the man that is right in front of him; however, he's chained up. Her eyes slowly open and notices she is sitting on the chair as her hands are tied up from behind. The man said, "Oh, my. You're up."
She startles and looks up. She sees the man in front of her. Kiri yells, "Lady Akane!" She turns and sees Kiri. (What's his name again? Kay...Kai...Key...Koro...I'll go with...) "...Kai..."
"...Lady Akane, it's Kiri."
"Ah...right."
The man ignores their touching moments and soon receives a phone call. He steps out of the room to take the call.
Kiri asks, "My lady, are you hurt anywhere?"
She lies, "No." Her head throbs heavily. She doesn't think she would able to save her and Kiri. More importantly, she didn't know why she got kidnapped in the first place.
...
The man was on the phone with his boss. His boss said, "Proceed the plan until they talk."
The man replies, "Got it." The man ends the call and puts his cellphone back into his pocket. He heads back inside of the room where Akane and Kiri are holding in captives.
Before the man can ask anything, Akane said, "What are you after? Money?"
He scoffs. "Why would I be after money?"
He walks towards the table and grabs one thing from the table; a hammer. He turns to Akane and asks, "Where did he hide her?"
Akane was confused. "Hide who?"
He lifts the hammer and slams the hammer on top of her hands. She screams. "AHH!!!"
Kiri was shocked. He yells, "Stop! Stop hurting her!" The man ignores Kiri's plea. He continues to torture her. He grabs her hand to lift her head up. "Where is she?!"
"...I don't know what you're talking about..."
"Your grandfather took our master's bride and hidden her so, where is she?"
She breaths heavily. "...I don't know anything."
He again slams the hammer onto her hand. She screams once more as Kiri continues to beg the man to stop; however, the man didn't stop there. He turns to the table and sets the hammer down. He grabs a knife and turns to her. He said, "Where is Miss Ying Yue?"
Akane stays silent. The man said, if that's how you're going to be." He walks up to Kiri. Akane yells, "Don't hurt him. I'll talk! I'll talk!"
The man stabs Kiri in the stomach. Kiri's eyes widen due to the pain. The man removes the knife and Kiri puts his hand on his stomach. He falls down on his knees as the blood gushing out. He then falls forward to the ground. The man turns to Akane. "So...where is she?"
Akane's eyes never left on Kiri. The man stabs the knife into her left hand. She screams. The man said again, "Where is..."
As she was breathing heavily, she said as she looks at him. "...I'm...Ying Yue." He was shocked and taken back at the same time. He didn't buy what she had said.
"What is this? Are you seeking death?"
"...I am Yang Ying Yue, the daughter of Zhi Ruo and Mei Ting." His eyes widened and takes a few steps away from her.
