SAINTS (1x1 w/DarkMukip)

“You’ll owe me.” He said with a chuckle. “Call you later.” And with that he hung up so he could get ready to head out.

Megohime made a noise, pulling the blankets around her more. “Doc says my necks healing fine, says my voice should more or less return to normal over time too.”
 
Mitsunari stared at his phone before pocketing it, heading home to prepare for some kind of rescue.

"That's great!" He grinned, "That's good to hear, I was really worried I wouldn't hear that pretty voice of yours."
 
Ren set out right away, turning his phone on silent before making his way to the mansion he had pinpointed to be the one Akihime was being held in. Like he had expected, the property was largely secluded, no other buildings for miles- it wouldn’t be a problem though, as he was only there to scout ahead.
There were the expected ghoul servants milling about, cleaning or handling other tasks, but Ren kept out of sight of them. It was only when Ren spotted a human did he perk up. It was a young slender man, about the same height as himself, with long black hair and sharp features. He seemed like he wasn’t all there, but it was probably because he too was one of Laurent’s pets. Ren felt bad about what he was about to do, but knew it would simply be easier to move around if he had his appearance. Quickly rounding the corner, he moved silently behind him and wrapped his Kagune around his neck, tightening it until he felt it snap and the man went limp. Ren moved to a more secluded area; the storehouse in the garden, carefully removing the clothes from the man and putting them on himself.
All he would need to be able to change his appearance with a bite or two of his flesh- and he’d be lying if he said he didn’t want to. It had been quite some time since he had had any real flesh, only blood. He decided to only take one bite from the mans upper arm, doing his best to not think about how badly he wanted more, but one was all he needed to change. He didn’t know what made him be able to change his form, only that he had found out relatively young that he was able to change how he looked and even sounded, so long as he had seen who he was changing into. Now taking the form of Laurent’s pet and wearing his clothes, he was able to walk about freely, and it wasn’t long before he caught a familiar scent- Sasuke. A chill ran down his spine, but what was he doing there of all places? He could tell he was injured from the smell of his blood, and part of him wanted to ignore him and finish out what he was doing for Mitsunari, but something made him follow the scent of blood down to the basement.
He heard no one down there, only smelled the heavy scent of Sasuke and blood just beyond a closed door, hesitating only for a moment longer before opening the door and peering inside.

Megohime felt like it was wrong to feel normal, wrong for her to enjoy Masamune still joking with her, but she laughed lightly anyway. “You don’t like me sounding like a smoker?”
 
Sasuke was dangling against the wall, hisnleg still lame and bleeding heavily. He lifted his head sluggishly, eyes bloodshot and exhausted, the drugs wearing off slowly but surely. He watched the newcomer quietly, trying to mentally prepare for more pain or drugs, heart hammering with anxiety and anger.

"While I will admit, it's pretty attractive, I like the original tone of voice much more." He told her gently.
 
Ren made a face at the sight before him, wanting to leave Sasuke on his own to get himself out of his own mess like he had left him- another part of him couldn’t do it though. He pushed the door open further and stepped inside, closing the door quietly behind him. “Didn’t think I’d find you here like this.” It was Ren’s voice that came from Laurent’s pet- was it the drugs making Sasuke hear things that weren’t there? Was all of this another hallucination? The man moved closer to Sasuke, a soft scowl on his face- was he going to hurt him?

Megohime felt embarrassed and flustered by his words, leaning against him. “You’re just trying to make me feel better.” She muttered, cheeks flushed.
 
"Get the fuck away from me." The suppressants had almost completely worn off by now, he could feel his shoulder burn as his ukaku tried to form, "Don't fucking touch me."

He pet her hair slowly and made a soft noise, "Not at all. I only speak the truth."
 
“Drop the tough guy act, you’re chained to the wall, even someone as weak as me could kill you right now.” Ren said as he stopped in front of Sasuke, his face starting to warp and change back into Ren’s face, the rest of him staying the same as Laurent’s pet. Was Sasuke higher than he thought? Was he seeing things right, why did they have Ren’s face all of a sudden? “Did that Laurent guy do this to you?”

Megohime made a soft noise, enjoying him petting her hair as she leaned against him, feeling safe enough to finally sleep.
A soft knock came at the door, one of Masamune’s men speaking up from behind the closed door. “Boss, Sanada’s waitin’ for you in the lounge.”
 
"R...Ren...?" He was so confused, what was going on? "How...How do I know it's you?"

Masamune gave a fake sigh, "Business calls." He said, kissing her head gently before standing to leave.
 
“You can always stab me again.” He said with a sneer, his long black hair slowly turning pink. “What the hell happened? How did they catch someone like you?”

He felt a light tug at the back of his shirt, Megohime still holding onto him with a soft frown on her face. “You’ll come back after, yeah?”
 
"She wouldn't leave..." He muttered, "She just stared at me like she didn't know who I was...dana has been worried sick and now he's probably put himself in a grave because of me..."

He looked back at her and gave a small smile, "Of course I will. I won't be long, I promise."
 
“That’s because he brainwashes all of his pets, he probably already got her too.” He said, reaching to try and pry open the cuffs around Sasuke’s wrists. “It’s really better if you just let the CCG handle this one.” Blood splattered on Sasuke’s face, the tip of a Kagune inches from his face and run through Ren’s throat, a look of pain and confusion on his face as he choked on his own blood.
“So the CCG is getting involved, huh? I’ll be sure to let master Laurent know~” The familiar voice of the torturer rang out from behind Ren, his rinkaku wrapping around Ren’s neck so he could slam him into the ground, Ren letting out a garbled fry of pain.

Megohime nodded, letting go of his shirt to let him leave.
Yukimura stood anxiously in the lounge he was told to wait in, doing his best to not let his worry show.
 
"Ren...!" Sasuke gasped out and his ukaku shot free. It was small and puny, but he managed to throw at least a couple feather shaped shards at the torturer.

"Ah, Sanada, thanks for coming." Masamune said as he stepped out. He gestured for Yukimura to have a seat before sitting himself, "Could I get you anything? Coffee? Smokes?"
 
The torturer brought up his arm, letting the feathers sink into his flesh with a grin, picking up Ren from the ground and holding him out in front of himself as a human shield. Ren struggled hard, clenching his teeth and struggling to breathe with a Kagune still pierced through his throat.
“I don’t know how you didn’t that little trick with changing your appearance, but I sure am glad you showed up~” He said, pulling something from his coat and putting it on over his face- a gas mask. In the next moment, RC suppressants deployed from the vents in the room, leaving only him unaffected.

Yukimura shook his head, moving to sit when Masamune motioned for him to. “No, thank you. I’m just here to hear the information you have for me.”
 
Sasuke tried to hold hos breath but knew it was useless, scowling heavily as he felt them take effect almost immediately, "H-He'll die like that if he can't regenerate...!!" He snapped.

Masamune nodded before reaching for a file, handing it to Yukimura.
"This is everything we got." He said, "The guy's name is Laurent Beaumont. French fucker. Takes humans he likes and leashes them up like puppies." He paused, watching Yukimura as he flipped through the file, waiting for him to find the pictures.

“Don’t you go worrying your little head about him.” He moved away with Ren still struggling in his grasp, moving over to a restraint table and shackling Ren down by his wrists and ankles. “I have plenty of experience keeping ghouls alive~” He snickered, yanking his Kagune out of Ren’s throat, making him cry out in pain. He made quick work of sewing up his neck- effective but ugly work. “Hm. It seems you’re wearing Yusuke’s clothes, I’ll have to see what master Laurent wants done with you before I do anything.” Once the gas dissipated, he pulled off his mask and put it back into his coat. “Don’t either one of you go running off now.” He snickered again before leaving them in the room by themselves. Ren looked terrified, trying to pull his hands free from the restraints. “Fuck!” He wheezed, it being painful to talk. “I should’ve just left your sorry ass behind!”

Yukimura looked through every piece of information Masamune provided before stopping at the photos, a soft scowl growing on his face as black veins spread under his eyes. “I.. don’t understand.” He looked up at Masamune. “This looks like she’s there by choice.” He said angrily, holding up the photos of Akihime with Laurent. “Are these fake?”
 
"I didn't ask you to come save me, you fucking twit!" He snapped back, "You shouldn't even be here!"

Masamune shook his head, "'Fraid not," he replied, "we did all the digging we could. Even ruffled Tsukiyama's feathers; Laurent has this fun little habit of doping up the humans he...buys..." he tried to pick the words wisely enough, but even that sounded bad, "until they're no more than codependent bit- er...slaves."
 
“I wasn’t here for you!” Ren found no luck in struggling, not strong enough to break free of the shackles made for ghouls.

Yukimura couldn’t look at the photos any longer, placing them face down on the table. “Where is she being held?” He asked firmly.
 
"Oh, of course, your fake ass boyfriend asked you to come, didn't he! Anything for good dick, right?!" Sasuke hissed.

"The address is in the file," he replied, "when you're done dealing with business, I have need of you."
 
If Ren hadn’t been on suppressants his kakugan would’ve flared in anger. “Shut your mouth, not all of us do something just to get something back in return!” The both of them were interrupted by the door opening, the torturer returning with Laurent just behind him, and he didn’t look pleased at all. “This is the one who killed Yusuke?”
“I’m afraid so, yes.” The man said, letting Laurent enter the room and moved over to Ren, who looked beyond terrified.
“Not only did you kill him, but you ate him, and changed into his shape.. Tell me how you were able to do such a thing.”
Ren only stared back with a scared look on his face, which didn’t seem to make Laurent happy, but he didn’t lash out. “I suppose we can have the answer dragged out of you as well. Don’t kill him, but do as you see fit to get the answers I desire.”
“Of course.” The man nodded and bowed as Laurent left, a wicked smile growing on his face as he was left alone with Ren and Sasuke.

Yukimura took everything but the photos, nodding as he stood. “I’ll come back to pay my dues, thank you, Date-dono. I truly am indebted to you.”
 
"Keep the hell away from him!" Sasuke snapped, struggling in his spot.

Masamune nodded, "Just don't leave too much of a mess." He said, moving to take the photos.
 
The man ignored Sasuke and moved to stand over Ren, pulling out a photo of Akihime and presenting it to him with a devilish smile. “If you change into her, I promise I’ll be gentle with you~” Ren looked scared and distraught, looking from the photo to the torturer.
“No way in hell!” He snapped, only to earn a hard punch to the gut, making him jerk and cough hard, the wind knocked from his lungs. “Turn into her!!” He snarled, wailing on Ren, punching him again and again in the gut. “Change into Akihime now!!”

Yukimura made a face, clenching his fists tightly. “Yeah.. I’ll make sure I don’t leave anything behind.” He said quietly.
 
"Do you think your master would really be so keen to knoe you're horny for his favorite right now?! Why don't you stick with your second choice and leave him alone!" Sasuke snapped. What was he doing, trying to spare Ren as much as possible? Was it a form of atonement for his vicious assault?

Masamune couldn't fight the wicked grin that pulled across his lips even if he genuinely wanted to.
"Give 'em Hell, Sanada."
 
The man had just grabbed a handful of Ren’s hair when Sasuke spoke up, making him freeze and look over his shoulder at Sasuke. This was the first time he had seen the torturer so unstable, eyes crazed as he glared back at Sasuke. “Oh? So you can change your form too then?” He sounded incredulous, and Ren himself looked to Sasuke with terrified eyes, face twisted with pain.
“If you had said so earlier, I wouldn’t have been so rough with you- unless of course, you’re interrupting me, and can’t change your shape at all?” He asked lowly.

Yukimura nodded, a stern look set on his face, and black veins still spread under his eyes as he bowed his head to Masamune, then left.
 
"A redhead is still a redhead, right? Might not be your top choice, but I'm available." He said, "And I won't get you killed for picking me apart."
 
The torturer stared at Sasuke in silence before releasing Ren, letting his head drop back against the table as he turned and moved toward Sasuke without a single word. Sasuke could see in his eyes that he was still unstable, but his thoughts would be interrupted when he reached out and jammed his thumb into Sasuke’s eye socket, crushing his eye easily. “You still haven’t learned to shut your mouth, have you? Let me tell you something: you’re in no position to be bartering for anyone else while you’re chained up to a wall.” He stared at Sasuke with a bored expression as he twisted his thumb around in his eye socket. “Unless you’re her, shut your mouth. Unless you can turn into her, just stay quiet until I’ve finished with you.”
