"Where is my Rudra-Nii? I won't leave without seeing him!!!" The little Yuna threw a tantrum in front of the director after seeing her big brother did not come to see her off.
"Don't worry little shit. I have great news for you!! Your new parents have decided to adopt your useless brother. He is waiting for you in the car." The slimy director said with a smile on his face, but his words were anything but pleasant.
"Really?? You aren't lying, are you?" Yuna asked with a suspicious look on her face.
"Absolutely not. Here, you can see for yourself. Your brother is sleeping peacefully on the back seat." After saying that, the man led the little girl to a sleek black SUV-looking car. On the backseat, she saw Rudra, who was lying there peacefully.
The girl peered up since she wasn't tall enough and saw her brother sleeping on the back seat. She instantly forgot all the unhappiness and jumped inside the car gleefully.
'This is great! Me and brother can be together again!!'
While thinking such happy thoughts, she started to feel a little dizzy and sleepy before slowly falling down beside Rudra, quickly falling unconscious.
"And that's done. Good riddance, That was a close call when that little cripple discovered our secret." The director muttered under his breath while wiping the sweat off his face.
The man in black took out a smoke, and took a long drag before speaking slowly, "Relax, even if he finds out, so what? The police and every single of those fuckers sitting on the golden chairs are on our payroll anyways. Either that or they are a customer. But thanks to this, I found another exquisite toy. That boy's features are top-class. Despite being a cripple, he'll certainly sell well."
After finishing the conversation, he got into the car and drove away from the orphanage.
--------------------------
"Let me go!! I SAID LET ME GO YOU KUSOTARO- FUCKIN- PIECE OF SHI-" Rudra woke to the loud sound of a girl screaming her lungs out.
He slowly opened his eyes to find himself inside what seemed to be an old warehouse-looking place. There was still dark outside, and the only source of illumination inside the room was a flickering light on top of his head and a high windowsill, far out of reach.
That's when his memories came rushing back to him. 'Yuna!! Where are you?'
He frantically started looking around, only to realise she was sleeping beside him, not too far away. Looking at her, he calmed down a bit and started to analyse the situation.
He looked down on himself and found that both of his hands and legs were tied behind his back with what seemed to be some kind of metal wires. He tried to struggle free, but they seemed too tight to budge.
BAM!!
Suddenly, the thick metal gate was thrown open, and he located the source of the noise and shouting. It was another little girl who was held under the arm of a burly man. She seemed to be constantly shouting something in another language that he did not understand.
He was only able to make out a few words between her shouting like 'Kuso, Maou Shinderu, Okka-sama'. Maybe the big guy finally had enough of her shouting, he snapped as soon as he entered the room.
"Shut up!! I don't care even if your dad is the president, no one will save you over here!! Now be quiet, or else I'll beat you so hard that you won't be able to walk!" Without waiting for a reply, the man threw the girl on the floor like a sack of potatoes and went out of the room, closing the door behind him with another BAM!!
The girl on the floor did not give up and wiggled herself to a sitting position before starting to shout again.
"Just you wait fucking lowlifes, you will suffer the most horrendous end by mother's hands. You will die a fucking dog's death you motherfuckin pieces of shi- gesu yarou!!"
After venting, the girl calmed down a bit before she started searching the room with her eyes, before fixing them on Rudra who was still lying down, tied up, and looking at her.
"Hey boy!! You, yes fucking you. Do you see anyone else here? Come up here and help me untie myself." The girl snarled at Rudra, who seemed dumbfounded by the events and the girl's voice.
He snapped back to reality a second later, before speaking. "No. You are very rude. I don't want to help you."
Looking at his little righteous face that said no, the girl felt even more pissed.
"YOU-" The little lady took a deep breath before continuing to speak. "Hey, little boy. I am really sorry if I startled you. It was not within my intention. As you can see, we're both stuck in a sticky predicament right now, so can you 'please' help me? I have a plan to get us out of here." She spoke to him again, but this time with a sweet smile on her face.
Looking at her smiling face, he instinctively felt there was something wrong with it. But he could not put a finger on what.
"Well, I want to help you get free. But the thing is, I can't." Rudra said with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"What do you mean you can't help me? You crippled or something boy?" The girl snapped back.
"Well, kinda. You see, my one hand and leg don't work anymore after being damaged by a demon." He admitted it to her with a straight face, making her choke on the next words she was about to say.
"I am so sorry!! I honestly did not know. Wait right there, I am coming to you." After finishing her piece, she started wiggling again before standing up and hopping towards the protagonist.
Looking at her hopping towards him like a cute little animal, Rudra forgot his worries for a while.
"So, what is your name?" She reached him, who was now sitting on the floor, and asked.
"Rudra, my name is Rudra."
"Well, it was nice to meet you, Rudra. My name is Ameri, Ameri Sumeragi. And we are going to get out of here." Ameri spoke with determination in her eyes.
