"Ugh...my head...hurts...where am I..?" Kyou slowly opens his eyes to find himself in a pitch dark cell which had only a lanterns illuminating light.
He sat up and looks around the cell in confusion as he finally understands that he is in a dungeon. He looked down to his hands and noticed a pair of heavy handcuffs around them.
"I think I got into the hideout of the Crew Of Death. Now what? Maybe I should just wait for them to come to me..." He planned a decision in his mind and leaned against the wall.
An eerie and piercing scream interrupted his thoughts and he turned his head in the direction of the voice.
"WHAT THE-!!?" He gasped as he noticed a few looming darkness behind the bars in the cell opposite to him.
The shadows emerged from the darkness to reveal their twisted grins exposing the sharp, blood - soaked teeth and the red saliva dripping from their mouths
under the light. Their eyes were blood shot and they gave off a putrid smell which would make a person puke. Their clothes were tattered and
They screamed even louder when they saw Kyou and charged with full strength at the bars of the cell, targeting him and continuously banged at the cell's bars to somehow break out but failed.
Kyou's hands were slightly shaking in fear and his heart was hammering against his chest when he realised that they were aiming for him.
"OH MY GOD! They are going to tear my body appart and gobble me up!! I m gonna die, I m gonna die, I m gonna die!!" He gulpled and helplessly screamed at the top of his lungs.
That's when he heard some quick footsteps approaching him.
"Quite down, you rascal! You are going to trigger them more!!" A guard hurriedly ran up to him with irritation and anger all over his face.
Kyou snapped back to reality and looked up at the guard. He regained his composure as soon as he saw the guard.
"This is my chance! Maybe I can interrogate him to learn more about the organisation!" He thought to himself and started his helpless act.
"W-why..am I here?! Please let me go! I didn't do anything!" he pleaded.
"Hah! I know that. No culprit comes to this place." He smirked.
Kyou looked at him in confusion for a couple of seconds and then asked, "W-what do you mean..?"
"You are here becau-" the guard was interrupted by footsteps approaching him and he turned to look. His smirk faded and turned into fear.
"S-sir!" The guard stuttered.
"I don't remember appointing any guard to this area." A deep voice answered.
The guard bowed deeply and said, "I-I will be leaving now, sir!" and quickly made his escape.
Curious to know who it was, Kyou peeked out from in between the bars of the cells and was taken by surprise to see the same man who had kidnapped him.
"It's that scum, huh?" He thought to himself.
The man approached him with a grin and leaned down to face him, "Well, well..What shall I do with you? Dissect you or...make you into one of them, or worse?" he pointed at the cell full of those monsters, still banging their heads against the bars rapidly.
Ae Rin had already warned Kyou about many tests along the way to get to the King. He knew this was one of them.
He yelled at him, "Do you realize what you've done?! If you weren't sticking your nose in my business then I could have killed her! My whole life! My whole life, I was waiting for this chance and you just had to ruin it!!"
The man was taken aback by reply.
"You wanted to...kill her? Do you know she's a demon?" He asked.
Kyou looked away in frustration and nodded.
"Heh! Good~ My plan is working PERFECTLY~ Didn't know I was so great at acting!" Kyou thought to himself.
"But why would you want to kill her?" The man asked again.
Kyou returned back to his act, "She killed my...w-wife! Yeah..my wife! She was everything to me! I swore that I was going to avenge her death!"
He tried his best to keep his eyes from blinking the entire time so that his eyes would start watering as soon as he stated his story. After all his hard work, tears rolled down his cheeks and he wailed and wailed continuously.
"Why is this dude not replying?! I m going to be out of tears!" He thought to himself in frustration and anger.
Finally, he noticed the man back away as if he was about to leave.
" Enough with your crying. Tomorrow, you will be taken to the King. And try not to get eaten alive by those beasts..What if they B-R-E-A-K O-U-T?" The man grinned at him and left, sending chills down his spines.
