SAINTS (1x1 w/DarkMukip)

“I know you don’t know me, but I’m a friend of your brothers. I’ll make sure you get home safe.” He said softly. “I promise it.”
 
Sasuke slowly moved his hand and Akihime - to his surprise - didn't scream.
"L...Laurent said that Mitsu-nii wrote me off...was happier thinking I died..."
 
“Mitsunari has been looking for you this whole time- he hasn’t taken a break, not even once.” Ren said. “He wants you home.”
 
“If I’m lying then you can just kill me- I heard you’re a strong investigator. I won’t even try to fight back.” Ren said. “And as I am now, I don’t think I could even if I wanted to.” His arm was still slowly dripping blood, its mangled state mostly hidden by the coat he put back on in order to hide the extent of his injuries.
 
"We're wasting time." Sasuke warned, "We have to leave, I need to get her back before dana tries to show up."
"Y-Yukimura...?!" Akihime became beyond petrified and did her best to scramble away from Sasuke, "N-No...! I-I won't go anywhere near him...!! He did all those awful things to me...!!"
"What the fuck are you talking about? Dana has been scouring the entire Ward for you...!" Sasuke hissed.
 
“Shut up!” Ren hissed at Sasuke, doing his best to keep his voice quiet. “You’re making things worse!” He turned to look at Akihime. “You don’t have to go with him, you don’t ever have to see him again- but we need to go now, it isn’t safe here.”
 
“I promise I’ll keep him away, but you have to listen and come with us.” Ren said firmly, feeling bad for taking advantage of Akihime in her current mental state, but they only had so much time.
 
She nodded and hesitantly reached for Ren once Sasuke let her go and stepped away, "I-Is Mitsunari ok...? He was hurt so bad when they brought me here.."
 
“He’s doing just fine, but I fear he’ll run himself into the ground trying to find you, so let’s get you home before that happens.” Ren stayed close to Akihime, letting her hold onto him, looking to Sasuke with a nod to signal they were good to go.
 
Sasuke moved ahead to check and see if the close was clear as Akihime held onto Ren.
"W-Won't Laurent be angry that I left...? M-Maybe I should tell him...!"
 
Ren wasn’t too far behind Sasuke, making sure to keep a tight hold on Akihime so she wouldn’t stray. “Don’t worry, I promise we’ll let him know once you’re home safe with your brother.”
 
“Akihime, we’ll tell him later.” Ren repeated, his patience running thin- he was in pain and exhausted, barely able to keep up with Sasuke. “Right now your brother needs you home.” All Sasuke could hear was their bickering back and forth, and it wasn’t until Akihime was shoved into his back did he notice something was wrong. Ren went flying, slamming hard into the stone wall, having just barely managed to push Akihime out of the way of being hit. “And where do you think you’re taking Akihime?” It was the torturer, and he looked pissed, kakugan flared and his Kagune out.
 
"Wh-Wh...Who are you...?" Akihime looked scared, gasping loudly when Sasuke grabbed her and pulled her back, getting her away from the torturer.
"Just the man I wanted to see." Sasuke hissed, ukaku bursting from his shoulder.
 
He moved his bikaku out in front of him, an angry scowl on his face. “Imagine my displeasure upon finding two rats have escaped and are trying to steal away Akihime!” He snarled.
Ren was still stunned on the floor, struggling to get back on his feet after being knocked into the wall.
 
"R...Ren-san..." Akihime moved over anxiously, "Are you ok...?"
"Aw, what's wrong? Hoping you could get to her first before your master got back?" Sasuke goaded.
 
Ren’s nose was bleeding, and other than his spinning head, he wasn’t hurt too badly. “I-I’m fine, just stay away from the fight..” He said, ushering her behind him. “You didn’t get hurt, did you?”
“I’ll make sure I cut out that kakuhou until it doesn’t grow back.” The man sneered, rushing forward to strike at Sasuke, faster than he looked like he could move.
 
Akihime shook her head gently, frowning as she hid behind Ren.
"I'm ok...thank you for protecting me..."
Sasuke, who was still fresh from cannibalizing, moved at a matched speed, dodging his strikes easily and shooting his feather like shards at the man once there was an opening.
 
“I just can’t believe that asshole was going to hit you too..” Ren muttered, watching the fight.

A few of the shards struck the man in the shoulder, making him stagger a bit, but he still attacked with wild abandon. He targeted Sasuke’s ankles and head, trying to cripple him or kill him all the same.
 
Sasuke shot up into the air and hovered just long enough to fire more shards, sticking some into the bikaku as well as his other shoulder before he dropped down and darted forward; he rammed into the torturer with his ukaku, the tar black kagune digging hard into the mans chest.
 
The man grunted and growled in pain, blood oozing out from his mouth and spilling onto the floor from the wound in his chest. “You damn rat!” His bikaku moved to pierce Sasuke through the stomach, eyes wild.
 
He grabbed the bikaku with both hands, struggling to keep it from piercing him, before flaring his ukaku and extending it like he was fanning out a wing. "Shut the fuck up and die already."
 
The torturer let out a cry of pain as Sasuke cut him clean in two, his top half falling to the floor before his bottom half followed. Ren breathed a sigh of relief when the man was killed, hoping the ruckus wouldn’t bring others running.
