SAINTS (1x1 w/DarkMukip)

Yukimura seemed to relax a bit, his expression softening as he gave a small nod, taking Akihime into his arms and holding her firmly against his chest.
 
They stayed like that for several hours, but soon it was time to return home for Yukimura. He had people he had to tend to, and after dropping Akihime off at her home, he headed to his own.
 
Yukimura made his way home quick, the night time bringing a bitter cold. He was too lost in his own thoughts to notice the heavy scent of Doves as he approached their safe house, entering the front door, still focused on other things.
 
Yukimura’s kakugan flared and his Kagune erupted from behind him, rushing forward into the home without a second thought. He didn’t bother taking his shoes off, nor did he bother to try and find his mask- he was inside in a heartbeat to defend his home and family from whoever was attacking.
 
When he entered the main room, everyone in the safe house was huddled and gathered together, sat on their knees as they were surrounded by Doves.
"Yukimura!!"
"Run, forget about us!!"
"Save yourself!!"
 
Yukimura didn’t pay them any mind, moving to skewer one of the Doves closest to him, gnashing his teeth hard. How had they been found? And Sasuke, where was he?
 
A sharp sting burned his neck before he felt the familiar buzz of suppressants fill his veins.
"That's quite enough, I think." Matsunaga said cooly.
 
Yukimura felt dread like ice water over his skin, spinning to try and swing his Kagune at whoever had injected him, but his tails were already crumbling.
 
Matsunaga pushed them away before grabbing Yukimura by the gair and shoving him backward.
"Boss!"
"Yukimura, no!"
"Let him go, spare him, please!"
"How disgusting, hearing such pleas for mercy." Matsunaga said.
 
Yukimura stumbled over his own feet, landing hard on the ground, feeling his limbs growing numb. “What are Doves doing here..?!” He hissed lowly.
 
"I have come to offer you a deal." Matsunaga said, adjusting his gloves, "You come and work with me, sort of as an extention of the CCG, and in return, I'll let these...associates of yours live freely."
 
Yukimura froze where he was on the ground, looking from Matsunaga to the huddled ghouls beside him. Sasuke wasn’t among them, but he could still smell faint traces of him from somewhere nearby. “How do I know you’ll hold up your end if I agree?” He asked, looking back to Matsunaga.
 
"You didn't arrive to corpses, which would have been far easier on us as a whole, but I'm not a monster." Matsunaga replied, "If you refuse, I will have everyone here killed. One life for each refusal, including the children."
"No!!" Nanako wailed from the crowd, the soft whimpers of her sons being heard as she held them close to herself.
 
Yukimura clenched his fists, knowing that more than just his own life hung in the balance in that moment. “I’ll do it.” He said, looking back at Matsunaga. “Just don’t hurt them.”
 
"Yukimura, reconsider!!"
"Don't worry about us, please, save yourself!!"
"A very wise decision. Sasuke was the same, I'm glad you have people in your group with similar priorities." Matsunaga stated, signaling them to grab Yukimura.
 
It all clicked for Yukimura on that moment. Amaya being forced back into her position at the CCG, Sasuke saying he was going to meet Amaya, and now not being here- it was all him. Matsunaga had been the one behind everything. Yukimura’s kakugan bled forth into his eyes, only fragments of the black and red overtaking his eyes, the remaining whites becoming bloodshot with strain as he launched himself from the ground. Despite the suppressants in his system his kakuja armor exploded from his back, incomplete and stunted from the drugs, but still creeping slowly over his body. His head buzzed so loud it hurt, letting out a guttural scream as he attacked Matsunaga, grabbing him by the throat and forcing him back against the wall so hard he nearly broke it. Ugly black veins spread down his face under his unfocused eyes, painfully clear to anyone in the room that he had lost a battle of wills to his kakuja in that moment, saliva dripping down his face as he pulled back his other arm to punch Matsunaga in the face.
 
"Father!"
"Get off him, monster!" There was a pop, and then another, and another, screams of terror filling the room as the investigators unloaded suppressant after suppressant into Yukimura's back. Matsunaga only watched, his expression calm and cool.
 
Yukimura jerked with each shot fired into his back, and although the suppressant bullets only dug just under the skin, they still hurt quite a bit. After a dozen or so shots, his grip on Matsunaga’s neck finally loosened. The black and red in his eyes slowly receded just as before, Yukimura’s hands shaking as he collapsed to the ground at Matsunaga’s feet. The amount of suppressants fired into him was enough to kill a ghoul, yet he was still twitching on the floor, teeth gnashing and glaring through glazed over eyes- still very much alive but rendered unable to move.
 
"Please...Please stop hurting him...!" The humans and ghouls under Yukimura's care looked devastated to see him in such a state, but Matsunaga hardly bat an eye.
"Get him to the car, keep him sedated." He ordered.
 
“Yes father.” Two investigators moved forward and pinned Yukimura’s hands behind his back, using specially made handcuffs to bind his hands before hauling him up and dragging him out to the car as ordered.
“Don’t… Touch my family..” Yukimura barely managed out as he was dragged away.
