(At the Mansion).
(Amaya's Father/The Leader Of The Nanatsu no Shi aka The Seven Deaths Yakuza).
Haruto: "This is the second time I've seen you with my daughter, and I couldn't help but notice how comfortable you two seem together. Are you two in a romantic relationship?"
*He gazes at both Kiyozawa and Amaya, pondering why his daughter Amaya would choose to be with Kiyozawa out of everyone. Despite being aware of Kiyozawa's personality, it leaves him questioning her decision.*
Kiyozawa: "I assure you, we're not dating. I doubt that Amaya would be interested in me anyway since she has high standards. Additionally, I lack the time for romantic relationships."
*He looks at Amaya's Father calmly as he lets go of Amaya's hand. His eyes were glowing red since his guard is always up.*
Amaya: "He's just my date Father."
*She wraps her arm around Kiyozawa, startling him and causing him to blush slightly, though he quickly shakes it off. She smiles at Kiyozawa, a slight upturn of her lips, as she harbors a secret crush on him deep down.*
Haruto: "You know what you teens have fun."
*He observes Kiyozawa and Amaya, noticing the subtle way they interact. He suspects that his daughter Amaya has developed a crush on Kiyozawa, though he personally doesn't think Kiyozawa is suitable for her. This is his personal opinion. He leaves Kiyozawa and Amaya alone, making his way over to the other Yakuza groups who had also attended the party. As he glances up, he spots Kiyozawa's father, Zentarō, who has arrived with his members, including his daughter Kanako.*
(In the background).
Kiyozawa: "Amaya, I don't believe you harbor any feelings for me, considering your high standards. Therefore, please refrain from developing romantic feelings for me, as it's uncertain whether I reciprocate those sentiments."
*He looks away from her because the thought of Amaya falling in love with him is troubling. If he lets her in, then his plans will be all for nothing. He'll be stuck in the same demonic category as Zentarō, his adopted father.*
Amaya: "I didn't say I love you; I just said we're friends and nothing more."
*She looks away from him as tears slightly well up but she shakes them off because she doesn't want him to see her cry. She pretends everything is fine but deep down she's hurting from rejection.*
Kiyozawa: "Sorry Amaya."
*He turns away from her, walking off because deep down he knows she's probably crying but hiding it from him. If he dates her, all his plans will fall - everything will be for nothing. His boss told him to stop but should he really listen? He's so close to achieving his goal now. He quickly exits the Mansion, not wanting to be seen by his sister or father since he knows his sister must have told their father what happened earlier between them two. He feels like he might get scolded, especially in front of other Yakuza groups. That would be embarrassing. He looks up slightly and sees Kaito with a twisted smile on his face. Kaito begins to approach him and throws an Orb Special grenade at him.*
Kiyozawa: "Fucking hell!"
*He quickly spreads his wings to block the grenade, but it explodes against him anyway. The force of the blast pushes him back and he crashes into the wall outside the mansion, creating a huge crack. He looks up dazedly and sees Kaito and his members appearing from demonic symbols all around him. His eyes widen in realization as he looks back at the mansion, thinking they intend to infiltrate it. He immediately begins to screech loudly, sending powerful sound waves throughout the area in an attempt to contact the other members of his Yakuza group, including his father. But before he could finish his screech, Kaito suddenly appears right in front of him and quickly covers his mouth with his hand, silencing him instantly. Kiyozawa's red eyes flash angrily as he looks up at Kaito with a muffled growl. His wings twitch nervously behind him.*
Kaito: "Don't bother trying to call for help,"
*He murmurs coldly, his voice laced with amusement.*
Kaito: "I want to have some fun with you, just the two of us."
*His hand tightens slightly around Kiyozawa's mouth, his red eyes glinting with mischief.*
Kiyozawa: "..."
*Kiyozawa struggles fiercely against Kaito's grasp, trying to punch him off. He thrashes his wings and kicks his legs wildly, but Kaito holds firm, not budging an inch.*
Kaito: "Calm down,"
*He chuckles darkly. As they heard footsteps approaching behind them, they turned to see Amaya. Her eyes widened at the sight of Kiyozawa in danger, and she attempted to save him with her special power. However, Kaito's men quickly grabbed her as well.*
Kiyozawa: "Mhmm!"
(In his mind).
"Amaya, why did she just follow me?"
*He thought to himself, frustration evident in his voice.*
"Why can't she just stay put?"
*He shook his head, trying to focus on the situation at hand despite his growing concern for Amaya's safety.*
(Out of his mind).
Amaya: "I know who you are! Kaito! Let go of Kiyozawa!"
Amaya shouted, her voice filled with urgency and determination.
(Flashback in the mansion).
*Amaya watched Kiyozawa leave, unspoken words hanging in the air. She didn't want him to go, wishing they could spend more time together, at least as friends. Without a clear plan, she followed him outside, curious and concerned.*
(End of Flashback).
*Kaito's members held onto Amaya tightly, their minds racing with a wicked idea that would crush Kiyozawa. Kaito smirked, keeping his grip tight on Kiyozawa and covering his mouth.*
Kaito: "Strip her."
*He ordered one of his men, as they prepared to remove Amaya's dress.*
*Amaya's eyes widened in horror as she struggled to break free, but the men were relentless in removing her dress. This sight caused Kiyozawa's struggles intensify; watching Amaya being violated filled him with rage and desperation.*
*A sickening idea crossed Kaito's mind, one designed to break Kiyozawa completely.*
Kaito: "Rape her. Make him watch."
*He ordered his men. Still holding Kiyozawa tightly, he covered his mouth, muffling his desperate yells for Amaya as the men began to violate her. Though she fought valiantly, Amaya's struggles were useless against the brute force of the men. Her screams for her father echoed through the outside, while Kiyozawa watched helplessly, his eyes widening in pure horror, tears streaming down his face as Kaito silenced his own pleas for mercy.*
Kiyozawa: "..."
(In his mind).
"Amaya is being violated right before my eyes... What can I do? Why was I so careless to let this happen? If only I had the strength to protect her... It's all my fault. All my fault..."
*Tears streamed unabated down his face as he watched the brutal scene unfold.*
"Amaya... I'm so sorry,"
*His heart shattering into a million pieces as he saw the blood seeping from her stomach wound, a cruel memento from her attacker's blade. Kiyozawa's eyes suddenly glowed with an intense, dark crimson light – a power long dormant within him violently awakening. His once-hidden wings extended massively, their razor-sharp edges effortlessly slicing through Kaito's limbs where he had been gripping Kiyozawa. In a flash of darkness, Kiyozawa's newfound power cut down every member who had been holding Amaya, leaving Kaito laughing manically in the background as he regenerated his missing limbs – enjoying the sudden turn of events.
Kaito: "What an interesting experience!"
*With a wave of his demonic symbols, Kaito cleansed the street of blood and bodies, his smirk widening as he gazed upon Kiyozawa holding Amaya's limp form. Deciding that the 'fun' was over for now, he disappears completely into the darkness.*
Kiyozawa: "I'm sorry,"
*He choked, pulling Amaya closer as tears streamed down his face – the brutal scene finally hitting him.*
Amaya: "You saved me. That's enough for me."
*She managed a small smile she whispered, happy that he had finally intervened.*
*The sudden footsteps caught Kiyozawa off guard. He looked back just in time to see Amaya's father standing there.*
Haruto: "You hurt my daughter!"
*His eyes filled with rage and a sword piercing through Kiyozawa's chest in a blink of an eye. He shouted – unaware of Kiyozawa's role in saving her.*
Kiyozawa: "..."
*Kiyozawa gasped as the sword pierced his chest, coughing up blood. But instead of collapsing, he felt an sudden surge of power healing the wound instantly. He gently lowered Amaya to the ground, his hands trembling as he turned to face her enraged father. Behind him was his own father stood in the background, face contorted with anger and disbelief that his son had supposedly harmed Amaya.*
*Zentarō appeared right in front of him and grabbed Kiyozawa roughly by the collar, dragging him away.*
Zentarō: "We're leaving. Now."
*His voice was low and dangerous, implying there would be severe consequences awaiting Kiyozawa at home—for allegedly hurting Amaya*
Kiyozawa: "It wasn't me! It was Kaito!"
*He pleaded, trying to convince his father that he was innocent and that Kaito's men was the one who had hurt Amaya. But Zentarō's face remained stern and disbelieving.*
Zentarō: "Shut up! I don't want to hear your excuses!"
*Zentarō's grip tightened, his eyes flashing with anger. He pulled Kiyozawa along forcefully as they left Amaya behind with her father.*
Zentarō: "First you kidnapped children and you hurt Amaya what's wrong with you!"
*He couldn't believe that his adopted son would do such a thing especially towards Amaya but this behavior is getting out of hand so he decided to do the unthinkable*.
Zentarō: "I'm disowning YOU Kiyozawa".
*He shouted it at him, causing Kiyozawa's eyes to widen in shock. He couldn't believe what he was hearing; his heart sank at those words.*
Kiyozawa: "It wasn't me, I swear! Kaito did it! He hurt Amaya! Please believe me!"
*He shouted in desperation, hoping his father would believe him, but it was too late. In the blink of an eye, his father struck him in the vital spot as punishment for hurting Amaya. His eyes widened as blood gushed out from his chest. He was bleeding out rapidly. Since the attack was to his life force, some of his crystal shards shattered and cracked. The pain was unbearable, and he blacked out from the intense trauma, collapsing to the ground as his life force began to drain away. Zentarō looks down at Kiyozawa's unconscious and shattered life force, tears streaming down his face as he realizes he might have just killed his adopted son. But in his anger and grief over Amaya's supposed hurt, he felt he had to do it—Kiyozawa had simply done too much. He walks away from the scene, leaving Kiyozawa bleeding out on the floor. In the background, Kaito watches with a slight smirk on his face—this was the push he had been waiting for. He believes that Kiyozawa will become the new leader of the Angels Of Slaughter Yakuza.*
(The next day at the Underground Facility in the Medical Room).
*Kiyozawa awakens to find himself in a hospital-like room, his chest still cracked and painful but somehow held together by someone's effort. He looks around the room, noticing a woman with brown hair and pink eyes sitting nearby.*
Klaudia: "You're awake,"
*She says softly.*
Kiyozawa: "Who are you? And how did I get here?"
*He asks her. His chest still aches with pain, and the memory of what his father had done to him lingers heavily in his mind.*
Klaudia: "'My name is Klaudia."
*She replies gently.*
Klaudia: "But don't bother asking how you got here,
it's more important that you're alive."
*Her calm demeanor seems to ease some of the tension in the room, allowing Kiyozawa to focus on her rather than his pain*
Kiyozawa: "..."
*Klaudia's response is vague and mysterious, which only fuels Kiyozawa's curiosity and frustration. He tries to sit up straight despite the pain, his hand instinctively reaching for his chest where the cracks are.*
Kiyozawa: "Alive or not, I need answers."
*He demands gruffly*
Kiyozawa: "How bad is my chest?"
*He asks, trying to ignore the burning pain that flares up with each breath.*
Klaudia: "Your life force is extremely fragile right now,"
*She warns him gently.*
Klaudia: "You need to stay here and rest for at least a couple of weeks to allow your body to heal."
*Her tone implies that any sudden movement or exertion could potentially be fatal for him in his current state.*
Kiyozawa: "Are you fucking kidding me?"
His annoyance is palpable as he sits up abruptly, ignoring the sharp pain that shoots through his chest. He snaps at Klaudia, his hands balling into fists at his sides.*
Kiyozawa: "Two weeks?! I can't afford to waste time lying around here!"
Klaudia's expression turns serious and stern as she sees the annoyance flash across Kiyozawa's face.
Klaudia: "I am not kidding you,"
*She responds firmly but kindly, her pink eyes meeting his gaze. *
Klaudia: "Your body needs time to heal properly. If you try to leave now, it could be dangerous—even fatal."
*She steps closer, her voice softening slightly but maintaining its serious tone. Without a moment's hesitation, Klaudia uses her power to paralyze him instantly. His body goes rigid as he tries to move but finds himself completely immobilized.*
Kiyozawa: "Damn woman!"
*His voice drops dangerously low, like a cornered animal. He growls at her, his muscles straining against the invisible bonds that hold him down.*
Klaudia: "Stay."
*She glares at him.*
This will continue on the next chapter.
