Chapter Text
It was warm sunny day like any other, nothing out of the ordinary. Yoichi was 2 at the time. He and his parents went out to their usual park to play and spend some time together as family. His mom, Iyo needed help carrying something, so she called for Yoichi´s dad, Issei. Yoichi took his toy from his dad and went on ahead to their usual spot, under big majestic sakura tree. Little did Yoichi know, that would be the last of his peaceful days. Before his parents could notice, unknown figure appeared behind Yoichi, covered his mouth with a cloth, picked him up and quickly carried him to a car, Yoichi slowly fell asleep due to the cloth being infused with propofol.
Once Yoichi woke up, he had no clue what happend, he felt like something was amiss, yet, being a little kid, he couldn´t really figure out what. His new „parents“ seemed quite similiar to his biological parents...which made it hard for Yoichi to realise that the people before weren´t anyone related to him. Later he saw a young kid, behind his „mother“ hidding, he didn´t know who it was, so he tilted his head, squeezing his toy. His „mom“ figured what Yoichi tried to point to and said „Ah, this...this is your older „sibling“ from now on, okay Yo-chan?“ Yoichi gasped and then nodded saying „Otay!“ the kid behind her then said „I..I´m ▬….nice to...m-meet you Yoichi-kun…“ Yoichi replied „Mn! Me too!“ the two quickly grew used to one another and soon, they´d be inseparable. Yoichi and ▬ weren´t that far apart, which is why, it was so easy for Yoichi to get closer to ▬.
At first, they really seemed like a family made in heaven, but, who would know what really happend behind those walls?? No one really. When Yoichi was 3, he was send to kindengarden so that it wouldn´t be suspicious to other families. Yoichi would very quickly grow close to other kids and his „parents“ didn´t like that because that could screw up their plans, so, everytime Yoichi grew too close to someone, they had to create a plan, sometimes it would be making specific family move to different country or state, sometimes they made the kid go missing and sometimes they moved Yoichi to different kindergarden to escape suspisions and make the attention fall elsewhere.
Being little child Yoichi was quite naive and unfortunately didn´t understand what was happening most of the time, yet, he trusted his „parents“ that they were doing the best for him...like, they should know what´s the best for him, right???
That would become normal for Yoichi, he changed several kindengardens, always meeting new people and kids, yet, never having proper friends. It made Yoichi sad and lonely, but, he tried his best to be the good and sweet boy he always was, he had to be good for his „parents“, they were the ones raising him, so why wouldn´t he? Once Yoichi was 6, he became little scholar, he started going to elementary school and ▬ was just about to end her elementary school. The same thing that kept happening in kindengarden, happend here at school for Yoichi as well...except..now there started to be actual punishments. Although the punishments weren´t that horrible, they still shouldn´t be aplied to a 6 year old child. Yoichi did his best to not disappoint his parents, yet, it seemed like a lot of stuff dissatisfied them now. Yoichi didn´t want to eat some small veggie, he had his hands slapped. He didn´t tie his shoelaces properly, he was spanked once. He didn´t get high score on activity or test, he was slapped. Got a bad point for arguing with someone? He wasn´t allowed to get ANY snack for entire week or until he got himself a good point. He made a scene, he was forcefully closed in his room, without being able to go out, he could barely go to bathroom to pee.
Of course he changed schools here and there, but that was already normal for Yoichi. When Yoichi was about to go to 2nd grade, ▬ left the house, she said her goodbyes to her „family“, but when she was saying goodbye with Yoichi she whispered extremely quietly „I...I´m so sorry….for leaving you here with them….I...I´ll try to get you out soon...please...wait…“ Yoichi wasn´t sure what ▬ really ment but he hugged her and nodded his head. Once ▬ left the house with all her stuff, his „parents“ asked Yoichi what ▬ said to him and Yoichi played dumb saying „Ah! Sissy said that Yo-chan has to be a good boy until she returns!“ his „parents“ looked at eachother and thought nothing of it, they realised that Yoichi wouldn´t lie to them, afterall, they taught him to be a good boy.
As Yoichi grew older, punishments grew harsher, even for simple, little things such as : forgetting to take-out trash once a day, forgetting to brush his teeth on time, forgetting to double-check his homeworks and other simple things like that. Yoichi soon was wearing long-sleeved shirts even when it was really hot outside to cover his bruises and wounds. Whenever he had PE classes, he hid in bathroom and changed there so that no one would see his wounds and alert the teachers, because if they did, he knew exactly what would happend...and he didn´t want that, he was punished for it twice and he wished that it wouldn´t happend ever again. Just imagining it made Yoichi gag and want to throw up...he hated that punishment the most so far.
After Yoichi reached 14, he tried to ask his „parents“ about ▬, but, he didn´t expect what came next. His „mother“ said „You won´t be seeing her“ Yoichi was confused and asked „Why?? She IS my „sister“, why wouldn´t I ask about her?? I wanna see her and know how she´s doing!“ his „father“ wasn´t having it, so he slapped Yoichi real hard which made Yoichi stumble and cough up little blood, shocked Yoichi looked at his „father“ and his brows slighty saddened, he was really just wondering what was up, yet, after seeing how they reacted, he decided to stay quiet. After a good minute or two his „father“ spoke up „NEVER, mention that name again“ Yoichi´s face darkened and he quietly nodded his head. Since that day, Yoichi never asked anything about ▬.
When Yoichi turned 15, his „parents“ called for him to discuss where he will go to highschool, Yoichi wanted to study about sports, becuase he thought it could be interesting, yet, they had different views on that and as punishments, Yoichi was locked up in his room for 3 days, with little to no food and very little water. He was let out after Yoichi apologised and said „I..I was wrong, I´ll let parents decide..“. So, his parents decided that he´d go to highschool closest to their house, they didn´t care what major it was, as long as they could force Yoichi to stay with them in house and not in dormitory.
So, Yoichi went to cooking highschool since it was the closest. By this time, Yoichi was used to wearing turtlenecks that completely covered his neck and bandages. Yoichi kept his distance from people, because he knew if he didn´t, he´d get punished and he´d have to change school once again, he hated that, he hated being such loner, but he had no other choice really...his „parents“ would find out one way or another...they always did, no matter how hard Yoichi tried to hide that fact. Yoichi successfully went through his first year in highschool, by that time, he was 16 already. He had 7 months before he would turn 17. One day, after school, he found weird looking document near his shelf, he saw his name on the document, but he decided to let it be and placed the document back. But, the next day, he heard his „parents“ mumble something that was regarding him...unfortunately he wasn´t able to hear much and even what he hear, it was very unclear. He was secretly listening in and he caught them mention „just like ▬…..it…..will be just like with her“ and due to that comment, Yoichi decide that he just HAD to look into the document tommorow. He figured out a way to do so, his „parents“ were going to work, he didn´t know what was their profesion, but he knew they had work and that they usually left the house 15 minutes after Yoichi. So, Yoichi secretly called his teacher that he doesn´t feel that well and that his „parents“ know about it and told him to call the teacher, so the teacher accepted it and told Yoichi what to work on while he´s home. Yoichi felt relief after the call and thought to himself : I did it, I did the first step...Now...I have to fake going to school and then fake coming from school...I´ll figure that out soon, I still have plently of time. Ah! I have it! I´ll dress up normally, take my bag and in there I´ll have spare clothes that I´ll chaneg into! Ideally a mask and maybe some hat too…
Yoichi thought of every single little detail, every possible outcome and he already thought of the hidden cameras and where they could be. He had everything planned as it should be, he even decided to copy the documents in the school library as it´s not under anyone´s watch and no one checks what was printed or copied, of course he also thought of the estimated time that it will take to print out all the papers from the document.
The next day, Yoichi quickly packed spare clothes without making it obvious, took his bag and went the way he usually goes to school, but he didn´t go completely inside, he hid behind a building, quickly swapped his clothes and disguised himself, went to check into the library if the copy machine is working, when he saw that it does indeed work, he left out a sigh of relief and he then calculated which route is the quickest and how much it could take him overall. Yoichi waited half an hour and then went with the quickest route, checked if there was a sign of anyone being home, he covered the hidden cameras so that they couldn´t record what they were ment to record and after that he went inside via the back entrance. Once inside, he also moved stuff so that the hidden cameras inside had no image nor option to record properly. He then quickly went to take out the document he needed, ran from house back to library, copied the document, ran back home, placed the original back, removed covers from cameras and then he once again ran back to library, found quiet place to sit at and he decided to read the copied document. After just reading the first page, he felt shivers down his spine, not only that he felt cold sweat under his mask..he couldn´t believe what he was seeing, he didn´t know how to feel about it all…
-Name : Yoichi Isagi
-Age when kidnapped : 2
-Age when the deal will happend : 17
-Blood type : B
- Real birthday : 1.4.
-Faked birthday : 7. 7.
The deal will happend before his real birthday, just like all the other kids. His parents will get more options tho, purely because luckily, the kid will be the oldest we ever dealt with so if something doesn´t go the way we want it to, we can just find a way to get rid of him. We will pre-record a tape of him saying some stuff that will be fully made up, just in case
Yoichi was blankly staring at it…. There were several pictures of him beaten up on that page and he then gulped and decided, that he wants to read more about the options and more details about stuff he never knew, even tho he probably should have. He took a deep breath and turned the page.
The options we will propose to Isagi´s are following :
1) Pay ▬▬ in full and we will send Yoichi back to you
2) Pay half and half and we will allow you to call with Yoichi
3) Pay small amount of the price and we will send recording (pre-recorder, that shall not be mentioned to the family)
4) Any negotiation from them, could be thought over
5) Ignore us, we will send hours long video of us abusing and violating Yoichi
6) Keep ignoring us and we will send Yoichi´s nails, some hair, broken tooth, blood sample
7) Refuse to pay us either money or attention and we will give Yoichi up for human trafficking
8) After the 7) we will send them link from dark web
Yoichi felt like vomiting, he couldn´t believe his eyes...was he really just this to them?? Years of this abuse and this is how much it´s worth..?? Yoichi then thought to himself : wait...That means I have less then 4 months to leave...they wrote it will happend before my real birthday...meaning it could be even month before...I have to think quickly, very quickly
Yoichi took another deep breath and then he turned to another page where there was mentioned WHY they took Yoichi. Yoichi closed his eyes, cleared his thoughts really quick and then opened his eyes and he read through the next page.
Reason behind kidnapping : There´s a high chance that they have some connections to ancient ancestry. We aren´t 100% sure tho. There is about 50% chance that it is the case, 50% seems low but after seeing from our previous experience with kids that had chance to be related to ancient ancestry, they usually had less then 20%, meaning Yoichi could be the gold hidden in mud, we cannot let this opurtunity pass up. Signs will show before the age 17. Signs should appear before one reaches 17, they will be able to connect with stuff ordinary people never could for obvious reasons.
Yoichi then blinked several times, he wasn´t sure what they tried to point to..but he knew it was no good nonetheless. He decided that he will escape a month before his real birthday. He hid the papers inside one of his school books. Ever since finding that out, Yoichi became more vary, quiet and more calculated. He was secretly packing up stuff such as : long lasting food like crackers, cookies, … then clothes, but of course he had to make it look like nothing has changed so, he found out old clothes and made them look like brand-new and folded them they way he used to fold his clothes so that it wouldn´t be suspicious.
It was night and nearly a month before his real birthday, he had everything packed and during the day, he overheard his parents mention „deal“ meaning, they were about to progress further and so, Yoichi knew it was about the time to run away. He took his stuff, disguised himself behind a cap and mask, opened his window, carefully stepped outside on the roof, carefully placed his steps and then jumped down and ran as fast as he could. He ran through a forest because it was the only way he could go, so that he would not be found. After a while he got to a next forest section that had a big sign there, but, it was written in a language that he couldn't understand, yet, he didn´t think much of it. He went further into the forest, slowly, step by step and he accidentally stepped onto something that cracked, Yoichi immediately jumped and looked at what he stepped, it was quite a big twig but that was it, so Yoichi sighed out of relief and wiped away his sweat.
/I´ll now adress Yoichi as Isagi /
Isagi continued to go further in, having no idea he accidentally activated a barrier. After walking some more, he found abandoned buildings that were in nearly perfect condition, although they were old, they look very managed, some had glass cracked here and there, spider webs somewhere, but other then that, they were really neat. Isagi decided that he will stay inside one of the buildings for the night and then think of a plan of what he should do next. So then, Isagi opened the door to the house that was the closest to him, it was a second house in a row. He checked inside of the house a little. He went into the kitchen, layed his bag onto one of the chairs and sighed. Isagi then took out small package of crackers to eat, right then he heard some noise coming from outside. Isagi shivered and decided to stay quiet and not move for while. It got quiet real quick. Isagi thought maybe it´s fine now, but then he heard a strong growl a minute after that he heard backdoors being swung open. Then there were heard multiple animal footsteps. There was loud growl again and with it there was audible sound resembling some sort of language and for some reason, Isagi understood what the beast meant and then Isagi turned to face the big beast. Isagi then talked back to the beast „You´re hungry? Did I understand that correctly?“ the beast flinched and then tilted it´s head „you….understand...us?“ and Isagi noded his head. Beast then sniffed around and looked up at cabinets, Isagi understood what it wanted and so he opened the cabinets and gasped „Woah! There´s so much food! Someone IS living in here!“ and then the beast gently bit onto Isagi´s clothes and growled in disagreement. Isagi looked at the beast and asked „No one lives here???“ and the beast barked in agreement. Isagi then laid everything from the cabinets on counter, checked the expire date, yet, there was none written „huh? That´s strange...it looks brand-new, but there is no expire date..“ beast tilted it´s head again and said „no new. Hundred years.“ Isagi blinked several times „Huh??“ the beast was about to repeat „Hundred ye-“ Isagi shook his head „Yes, I heard you...but how is it possible??? None of these are supposed to last so long!“ beast bumped into Isagi and said „magic helps“ Isagi rubbed his eyes because he thought he was dreaming. Beast then barked and other beasts appeared. Isagi looked at the beasts and said „...magic?? Am I dreaming??“ beast growled in disagreement again, Isagi sighed. Beast said „you not. This place..magical...no ordinary here“ Isagi looked at the beast and said „but...I´m ordinary human, aren´t I?“ beast wagged it´s tail and shook it´s head, Isagi then asked „then...what makes me different??“ beast said „no ordinary can enter here, this whole forest special, hard to find and get into“ Isagi felt some englightment. Isagi then said „I think I understand… so, what would you like to eat? I suppose you all are hungry, yes?“ all the beasts barked in agreement, so Isagi decided to look around if there´s perhaps some other stuff and he did find some vegetables and meat and he decided to ask the beasts „Are these also still good??“ the beast nodded and Isagi smiled „Okay, give a while, I´ll cook it up for you.“
After a while, Isagi finished vegetable stew with meat bits and layed it infront of the beasts, yet they wouldn´t get closer to the pot. So Isagi took a plate and poured some for himself as well and ate some up „Hmm...it lacks some spices...but oterwise it´s still good“ upon hearing that, the beasts came closer and sniffed it, Isagi then took more plates and poured some stew on their plates as well and the beats immediately started eating it, they wagged their tails. The beasts ate the whole stew and then Isagi took out the cooked meat and gave it to the beasts, they immediately ate it up, they didn't hesitate this time. Isagi smiled and then gently petted the beasts on their heads.
From afar there were two vampires up in a tree, watching Isagi and the beasts. One vampire smirked and the other side-eyed him and said „What are you thinking now, brother?? You never have that type of expression“ the other vampire replied „Rin, don´t you see what´s happening?? Normally the beasts would kill anyone who´d even try to approach them, yet now? They´re getting pets on their heads.“ Rin replied „And?? Maybe they had change of heart?“ Sae sighed „Rin, they only like those who understand them. Do you get what I´m trying to say???“ Rin´s pupils became sharper „You think he´s one of them? You know the ▬▬?“ Sae had small smile on his face „I´m quite certain. We will have to find a way to persuade him“ hearing that, Rin nodded.
Back to beasts and Isagi, the beasts would lay down close to Isagi and the biggest beast said to Isagi „Be careful, vampires are tricky“ and Isagi looked at the beast „Vampires? Are there any other beings I should be wary of?“ the beast was quiet for a while and then he spoke up „hard say… it depends, in any case, you need help, call us“ Isagi gave little smile and looked at the beasts „Sure...but what if...I´d understand other beings as well? Y´know, like I somehow understand you“ beast thought about it and said „possible indeed...still risky, try to avoid“ Isagi sighed „Okay, okay, I´ll try my best to avoid other beings, truthfully, I don´t know how long I´ll even stay here“ beast spoke again „Can´t leave, barrier is up, no one can get in or out“ Isagi´s pupils shrank after hearing that „Huh??? What do you mean the barrier is up?? What happend??“ the beast tilted it´s head „You no know? You put it up when you came inside“ and Isagi then had flashback to his entry into the forest and remembered that he did step on some weird big twig „You mean...the twig…“ and the beast nodded. Isagi facepalmed his face upon hearing that. Then, Isagi went to bed, covered the beasts with blanket and slept through the night.
Isagi slept peacefully through the whole night, once he woke up, he stretched his arms and then rubbed his eyes. Once he properly woke up, he realised that this bed is different then he remembered it, he was sure that the bed was smaller, yet now, it seemed quite big. Isagi then looked around the whole room and realised that this is entirely different room. He got out of the bed and checked if he still had some stuff he left on himself and luckily, he still had it. He then slowly looked around the room, to get used to everything that was inisde the room. After exploring the room, Isagi took deep breath and then opened the door and then he realised, that he ended up in some sort of mansion, he wanted to quickly run out but someone caught his wrist and pulled him back. Isagi felt chill down his spine, closed his eyes and gulped. A voice then spoke from behind Isagi „Worry not, if you even undestand me...No one will harm you here, I bandaged your wounds“ Isagi then opened his eyes, his heart still beating fast and then he looked at the person behind him, he saw beautiful, tall and majestic person with mesmerising turquoise eyes, Isagi then felt little sweat on his cheek. Then Isagi spoke up „..w-why did you bring me here tho…? And why take care of me?? I didn´t do anything for you..“ the other person replied „It´s dangerous in the abandoned houses. If you want, you can help around here if you feel bad about me helping you out of my free will“ Isagi calmed down a little „..alright...and...you name..? My name is Isagi Yoichi“ the latter replied „Rin, you can call me Rin, nice to meet you Isagi“ Isagi gave little smile „Likewise.“ Then there was another voice coming from another room „Rin! Is he awake??“ Rin yelled back „Yes he is! And stop yelling!“ the door to another room opened up and another handsome, tall man came out, with the same mesmorsing turqoiuse eyes. Isagi looked little confused and thought to himself :
What species are they..? They´re likely not human...it also feels like they´re speaking different language, I feel like all of the languages here might be ancient languages...hard to say tho...I think I´m the only human here... I hope I´ll learn something some time soon
Rin then looked at Isagi and said „This is my older brother, Sae“ Isagi looked at Sae and said „Nice to meet you Sae-san...My name is Isagi Yoichi..“ Sae nodded „Nice to meet you too, feel free to roam around the house freely, when you´ll want or need something, just reach out to me or Rin, we will help you“ Isagi felt relieved „Okay..thank you very much..I don´t know how I should thank you tho…“ Sae rubbed his chin and spoke „You don´t need to do anything for us really...as long as you´re safe and willing to help when necesary then it´s all good. Buuut If you feel like you gotta do something...you can maybe take care of the garden“ Isagi´s eyes lit up „Garden?“ Rin nodded „Yes, garden, come, I´ll show you“ and so Rin went to garden and Isagi followed. Once Sae was alone he then spoke „ We must be careful with him, we can´t let any other beasts find out about him“
When they got into the garden, Isagi was greatly amazed, his eyes were literally shining. Rin noticed that and said „It´s little run down...so I hope you can forgive that“ Isagi smiled and said „I think it still looks amaizing! If possible, I´d like to take care of the garden“ Rin replied „Feel free to do so, now, would you like to eat something?“ Isagi was about to deny but his stomach growled so he flushed a little and said „..y-yes please.“ So then, Rin took Isagi to kitchen and cooked him some food, once Isagi finished eating, he looked at Rin and said „Thank you for the food...but what about you..?“ Rin looked at Isagi, took his empty plate and started cleaning it „I´m fine, we eat differently then you“ Isagi quietly gupled, wanting to ask more about them but didn´t want to be rude, so he stayed quiet.
And That´s it for chapter 1! Let me know if you wish to see more parts of this mess
