Earlier...
Dylan was lurking around Hiro's desk. He then sees a photo in the bottom drawer. He picks it up and flips it over. It was a picture of Hiro and his son, Jiro. A maid comes back after the phone rings. "Lady Akane."
Akane looks up. The maid said, "Sir Jimbo wants me to pass a message to you." Akane nods. The maid continues, "The dog is now in the pound."
"Thank you."
The maid was curious and asks, "Do you used to own a dog, Lady Akane?"
"...Yes."
"What did the dog do?"
"Jimbo said the dog has been trying to harm certain person."
"Oh, my."
The maid misunderstands Akane's comment, she thought the dog was in the pound because the dog bit someone. Akane puts her spoon down on her plate. The maid asks, "You're finished? You rarely take a bite."
Akane said, "I'm not that hungry."
"Are you sick or –"
"I'm fine. Just tired. I'm going to take a nap."
The maid nods as Akane heads back to the bedroom.
...
She lays on the bed and closes her eyes.
She was standing in the darkness. She looks around and sees nothing but pitch black. "Hello? Anyone there?" No respond. A few minutes later, she sees the light right ahead of her. She run towards the light. As soon as she gets out of the darkness, she sees familiar place. (This is...) In front of her was a happy family where there was a dad, a mom, two daughters, and two brothers. Smiling and laughing, celebrating christmas. She looks confused. (Isn't that...) The scenery then hopped into another scenery.
There was a little boy hiding and peeking at someone. She looks up ahead and it was one of the little girl she once saw. The girl was picking some flowers as the boy secretly watches her from afar. The boy said to his caretaker, "Ying'Er is really beautiful, don't you think Ji?" She gasped and looks at the little girl again. (Ying'Er? That's--)
Ji lowered his head and said, "Yes, Young Master. She will be the perfect bride for you." The little boy smiled from ear to ear. "Hey!" She tries to question the little boy; however, the scenery jumped to another scene.
She stands in the crowd. She squeezes herself in to see what was going on. As soon as she gets a little bit closer, her eyes widen. Right in front of her was the little girl and her family. They were standing on the top of the platform as their hands were tied behind their back. (Wha--? What is going on?)
"Wait!" She tries to go up to save them; however, it was too late.
...
She immediately opens her eyes and sits up, breathing heavily. Her forehead was covering in sweat as her hands tremble in fear. She looks around the room and realizes where she is. She lets out a sigh and gets out of bed. She heads to the shower to cool off her mind.
After a few minutes, she gets out of the shower and puts some decent clothes on. She walks out of the bathroom as she rubs a towel on her hair, walks towards the bed; however, she feels someone was behind her. She turns around and someone in a black wear with a mask sprays something on her face. She loses her consciousness and falls down on the floor. That person then carries her out of the room without being seen.
Kiri, a nightman, who was on duty, walking by and notices a strange man carrying Lady Akane out of the mansion. He then chases right after him. "HEY! STOP!" The man with the mask ignores Kiri's command and continues to flee with Akane. Soon enough Kiri was surrounded by more of them. (Kiri: Damn!) Kiri quickly ignites to send a signal to others.
Once he ignites, he got hit back of his head. He, too was captured along with Akane.
Kiri opens his eyes and notices Akane is in front of him. "Lady Akane!" He stands up and tries to walk up to her; however, he falls backwards. He looks down and realizes he was handcuffed to the wall. "Damn." He turns to Akane. "Lady Akane!" He kept calling her, but she didn't respond.
He notices blood on her side of her head. He gasped. The door opens. Man #1 said, "Man, can you stop with your yapping?"
Kiri glares at him and asks, "What did you do to her?"
He shrugs and said, "Nothing yet."
"Then how did she get the blood on the side of her head?"
"Ah...that. Well, she was resisting so..."
Kiri wants to kill the man that is right in front of him; however, he's chained up. Her eyes slowly open and notices she is sitting on the chair as her hands are tied up from behind. The man said, "Oh, my. You're up."
She startles and looks up. She sees the man in front of her. Kiri yells, "Lady Akane!" She turns and sees Kiri. (What's his name again? Kay...Kai...Key...Koro...I'll go with...) "...Kai..."
"...Lady Akane, it's Kiri."
"Ah...right."
The man ignores their touching moments and soon receives a phone call. He steps out of the room to take the call.
Kiri asks, "My lady, are you hurt anywhere?"
She lies, "No." Her head throbs heavily. She doesn't think she would able to save her and Kiri. More importantly, she didn't know why she got kidnapped in the first place.
...
The man was on the phone with his boss. His boss said, "Proceed the plan until they talk."
The man replies, "Got it." The man ends the call and puts his cellphone back into his pocket. He heads back inside of the room where Akane and Kiri are holding in captives.
Before the man can ask anything, Akane said, "What are you after? Money?"
He scoffs. "Why would I be after money?"
He walks towards the table and grabs one thing from the table; a hammer. He turns to Akane and asks, "Where did he hide her?"
Akane was confused. "Hide who?"
He lifts the hammer and slams the hammer on top of her hands. She screams. "AHH!!!"
Kiri was shocked. He yells, "Stop! Stop hurting her!" The man ignores Kiri's plea. He continues to torture her. He grabs her hand to lift her head up. "Where is she?!"
"...I don't know what you're talking about..."
"Your grandfather took our master's bride and hidden her so, where is she?"
She breaths heavily. "...I don't know anything."
He again slams the hammer onto her hand. She screams once more as Kiri continues to beg the man to stop; however, the man didn't stop there. He turns to the table and sets the hammer down. He grabs a knife and turns to her. He said, "Where is Miss Ying Yue?"
Akane stays silent. The man said, if that's how you're going to be." He walks up to Kiri. Akane yells, "Don't hurt him. I'll talk! I'll talk!"
The man stabs Kiri in the stomach. Kiri's eyes widen due to the pain. The man removes the knife and Kiri puts his hand on his stomach. He falls down on his knees as the blood gushing out. He then falls forward to the ground. The man turns to Akane. "So...where is she?"
Akane's eyes never left on Kiri. The man stabs the knife into her left hand. She screams. The man said again, "Where is..."
As she was breathing heavily, she said as she looks at him. "...I'm...Ying Yue." He was shocked and taken back at the same time. He didn't buy what she had said.
"What is this? Are you seeking death?"
"...I am Yang Ying Yue, the daughter of Zhi Ruo and Mei Ting." His eyes widened and takes a few steps away from her.
"...I am Yang Ying Yue, the daughter of Zhi Ruo and Mei Ting." His eyes widened and takes a few steps away from her. (N-No way...she's...) He quickly takes his cell phone out and calls his boss.
"Hello?"
"B-Boss. I-It's me."
"Where is she?"
"B-Boss..about that.."
"What is it?"
"Lady Ying...(he turns around to look at Ying Yue.) is in front of me."
"...What?"
"Boss...this woman isn't Akane. She's Ying Yue, your lost fiance."
His boss's eyes widen, shocked.
"U-Um...boss?"
"Bring her to me."
"Y-Yes."
He ends the call and turns to her again. He realizes the knife is still puncture to her hand. He walks to her and said, "I'm going to take the knife out, so bear with it." She bit her lower lip and he immediately takes the knife out. HE quickly wraps her hand with a hand towel. Her ropes got loosen.
The man helps her to stand up; however, she couldn't feel a thing. Her whole body is numb. Due to a huge amount of losing blood, she feels dizzy as the room was spinning. "Miss Ying."
She faints on the floor. He shakes her but she wasn't responding. "Damn. I'm so dead." He lifts her up in his arms and takes her to the car. The second man was outside by the car. "Hui. Open the door for me."
Hui turns around and was shocked. "What are you doing?"
"No need to explain now. We need to take her to Boss or else."
Hui nods and quickly opens the door. The man carefully puts Ying Yue into the back seat. Both of the men get in the car and drive away as they left Kiri alone.
Hui asks, "Genji, what happened back there?"
Genji said, "...I'm dead meat."
"..? How so? You did nothing wrong."
"...She's not Akane."
"What?? Then who—"
"...Boss' fiance."
Hui's eyes widens. "Wha...what did you say?" Hui turns around to look at Ying Yue then back at Genji. "You positive?"
"Yes."
At first Genji thought she was pretending in order to survive; however, after she mention the names of Zhi Ruo and Mei Ting, he is 100% sure that she's the real Ying Yue.
...
Earlier, Kirishima comes home as soon as he got a phone call about Akane being missing. As soon as he arrives, his men said they have witness seeing a flare. Kirishima's eyes widens. One of the maids was kneeling in front of Kirishima as her tears slides down on her cheeks. "Young Master. My grandson, Kiri, is missing. They must've taken him too. Please find him."
Kirishima knits his brows. He turns to her and helps her to stand right back up. "I'll find him." He turns his heels and walks out of the house. His men follow him behind.
...
Kiri opens his eyes slowly and pants slowly. He flips over and slowly reaches into his pocket. He takes out a device and press down the button. His hand has gotten weak that his grip got loosen. He stares up at the ceiling. (...Master...Grandma...forgive me...I had failed. I'm sorry.)
Sura's cell vibrates. He takes his cell out and his eyes widens. "Kiri!" He looks up at his Master. He shows the signal from his cell to Kirishima. They all head to the location.
After 30 minutes, Sura rushes and yells, "Kiri!"
Kiri was taking his last breath. "...Sura..." His eyes slowly lose its strength. Sura finally enters the warehouse and he froze as soon as he sees Kiri's lifeless body. He holds his breath and clear his throat. He slowly walks to Kiri. "...K-Kiri."
The others and Kirishima enters and they were shocked. Sura takes Kiri in his arms. "Kiri...?" He shakes Kiri to wake him up; however, it was too late. Kiri has left them all. Sura's tears slides down. Kirishima clenches his hand to fist as he looks around the room. He walks towards the chair that Ying Yue was chained. He looks down and sees blood. (What the heck happened here?)
