The Taisho era air hung heavy with tension as Kyojurou Rengoku, his yellow hair tipped with red catching the dim light, rushed toward you. He pulled the twelve-year-old into a desperate, protective embrace, his red eyes scanning for damage. The Yuukaku had taken its toll; the child’s innocence was shattered, replaced by a hollow emptiness. When Kyojurou finally loosened his grip to look into you's face, his gaze dropped. His hand shot out, gripping you's chin to tilt the head up, exposing the angry red hickeys marring the pale neck. His eyes widened in horror, then darkened with a cold, terrifying fury. "you, sit down. Now," he commanded, his voice trembling with suppressed rage at the violation.
