Chapter Text
(( Chuuya POV.))
*trickle, trickle, trickle*
"Urgh...My head hurts like a bitch...What was that sound?"
"What the hell... I didn't think anyone would be here..." I heard a voice say.
The sight of a ginger-haired man trapped in shackles, sitting in a pool of his own blood greeted the brunnett owner of that voice.
"Shit. Hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm just tied up to the walls with blood everywhere, of course, I'm finee~" I replied to the idiot.
"Ugh move your head a little bit to the left."
"And if I don't?"
The brunette takes out his sword."Do you really want to know?"
Hahh...He's probably just another one of them. Why did I think he'd be any different? Am I ever gonna get out of here..?
Suddenly the man cut through my chains!
"Wha-"
"Hey, I didn't hurt you, right? Move your head to the left now if you understand."
"Wait wait wait- What are-why are you-"I blabbered before the man shut me off
"Just a sec, let me cut off these chains and then we'll talk okay? I don't wanna hurt you by accident."
I did as the strange man(woman?) asked and he cut through those chains as well.
"There! All done. You feeling okay? I didn't scratch you right?" The man asked me.
"Y-Yeah I'm fine."
Why was he doing this? What did he want from me? Is he planning on kidnapping me? Am I going to die?
"Here have some water." The man threw me his water cannister, in the process stopping my thoughts from spiralling.
It's been so long since I've had some proper fresh water...I never realised how dry my throat was till now. It's so refreshing.
"Yeah, what were you asking me before?" The man asked, once again interrupting my thoughts.
"Why would you help me? Aren't you one of them?" I asked him back.
"One of who? The government..? The knights?"
"One of Sheep's associates."
"Sheep? Sorry, SHEEP? I thought they went underground a couple years back?"
"Well clearly not considering the fact that I even exist!"
"Wait hold up- what's your name?"
"..Chuuya...Nakahara Chuuya."
"Wait wait wait Chuuya? CHUUYA?"
"Geez, quit screaming my name would you! My ears hurt."
"You're Chuuya, as in the heir to the Nakahara bloodline Chuuya? God, why did you make my life like this.? Okay listen-"
"I'm listening."
"Let's get you out of here and I'll explain what's going, can you walk?"
"Yeah I definitely wasn't restrained by chains not even 10 minutes ago so I should definitely be able to run around like a damn puppy.😃"
The strange brunette picked me up into his arms."Is this any better?🙄"
"Yup, took ya' long enough to figure it out!"
The man carries me all that way outside the cave, there were a bunch of men there dressed in armour, I suppose they were knights.... Was the brunette also one of them? He sat me on one of the larger rocks there before speaking to me."Okay, so uhm just sit here for a bit."
"What the hell else would I do? Fly into the sky like a fucking unicorn?"
"Be quiet, I'm gonna go prepare a carriage for us."
"Wait what? A carriage, with horses?"
"What are you looking at me like that for? Don't tell me you don't know what a horse is? Its those tall animals with long hair and tails? They have 4 legs? They have a striking resemblance to you?"
"Shut up! I'm not that dumb you know! I know what a horse is and I also know for a fact that I do not look like one!! What is it for though? And why do you have so many of them?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Does it look like I do?"
"Haha,( This is going to be fun ) the horses are for the knights. Considering the fact that you can't walk I've requested a carriage for us."
And just as he'd said that a majestic carriage seemed to have arrived.
"Ah it seems the carriage has arrived!" The man had exclaimed.
"No shit Sherlock." I'd shot him down.
"Let's get you on shall we?"
The man helped me climb onto the carriage despite my struggle- What was I supposed to do? I'd never ridden one of these before- and started speaking to me."So let me explain, there is-there was a noble society called the Nakahara nobles. They were very special as they had special powers knowm as arahbakhi. We believed that their bloodline had gone completely extinct, but it seems a stray wiggled his way out of that horrible fate... Can you guess who that stray is?"
"Uhm- A long lost doggo?"
"😫😫 It's you! You're that stray!"
(I'm enjoying beating around the bush)
"Ohh so you're saying that-" I started before the man had interrupted me.
"Wait I'm not done yet,
"Sheep is a society known for using dark magic to try and copy the powers of arahbakhi, I believe that they did something to you- experimentation perhaps?- to try and gain your powers. That's why your coming with me, so that I can protect you and find out if they were successful at all.( And also figure out how you even exist ) Any questions?"
"Okay wait, your talking time is over. Now it's my time. So in summary of what you just said: I'm an idiot who escaped my so called horrible fate and was experimented on and somehow was saved by a brunette who looks ugly as fuck and claims he's gonna protect me. Did I miss anything?" I'd said without missing a beat.
"Hey I'm not that ugly you know! But besides that yeah you got everything down."
"At this point I'm just gonna go die-"
"Well we can't have that now can we?"
"Why not huh? It's not like your the king on me or anything!"
"Well you're a very precious resource, and I wouldn't be too sure of your second statement. Ah, it seems we're here!"
My jaw was on the floor. Was this why the mystery man lived? It was such a gorgeous castle! No way this ugly bastard could afford something like this right? Right? He once again interrupted my thinking process by pushing my jaw back up to my mouth.
"Now where did your manners go?"
"Oi I never gave you permission to touch me!"
"I greet his majesty the King, Dazai. I wish to inform you about......."Some man said, perhaps another knight? I zoned out from what he was saying anyways. This man's name was Dazai apparently? And he was the king? I'd been so disrespectful to him... He wasnt going to execute me right..?
"Oh- Is that so? I'll have to deal with it then. First let me attend to my guest.." Dazai(?) had said. He turned to speak with somebody else now.. Had he forgotten about the guest he was supposed to attend to already? I wouldn't mind if this bastard had forgotten about me anyways.
"Wait whats goin-"
"Call the head maid and ask her to prepare a guest room on the second floor, ask her to prepare some clothes in size very small aswell, and get her to groom him.. He looks like a drenched rat. I'm already acquainted with one rat, I don't particularly need another one."
"Dang who's the guest that's that small, and hey I do not look like a drenched rat!"
"Who else but you darling? Now the head maid is going to arrive here in a little bit, go with her and do whatever she says."Dazai(?) had said before initiating conversation with someone else.
"Hey I didn't consent to this you know!"
