As Suzumu grinned, he turned to Eve and Shima, "Take them to the prison, make sure no one let's them out." The two males could only glare at the people as they took their weapons from the floor. The two tried to struggle away but their arms were instead tied up behind their back, being taken where they'll be held.

"Now as for you.."

Suzumu gently picked up the albino before he started taking him to the room in the back from the bar. He turned his head back at the people, "Make sure to clean this mess before anyone else gets here." He said, speaking sternly as he entered the room before closing the door behind him.

He then gently sat the angel down on the seat tying him up as his grin widened even more after seeing Mafu struggle a bit. He then softly placed his hand on his cheek, "You look so cute when you struggle~"

"Don't touch me." Mafu spoke, his eyes weren't showing anything soft about him, he was just annoyed. No, upset. Suzumu had been trying to use Luz, and even attacked his two friends, so it wasn't a surprise why Mafu was upset. "Dont be like that... Sides, im going to keep you to myself for a while. So struggle all you want, no one's coming for you now."

Seeing that the angel was still not having any of it, Suzumu sighed. He then forcefully made the albino look at him im the eye, "Look, if your thinking that you can escape, your wrong. So now.. Why dont we have a bit of fun~?" The albino was starting to go on the verge of tears, he didint want this.

"Suzumu-san!"

The male sighed in annoyance before turning towards the door, "What is it now?" To be honest, Mafu was glad the person had interrupted Suzumu, he was about to lose it out of fear from his actions. "A group of three had entered the bar." Suzumu then opened the door, "Alright then, kindly tell them to leave." The male then turned to Mafu, "I'll be back."

"Kashitarou, why are we here?" The swordman asked the brunnette, seemingly confused. Kashitarou shrugged, "Well, I mean, this village does seem new. Might as well try how good the bar is." Amatsuki just sighed, Looks more like a town to me."

As the three took a seat, they were then greeted by a male, "Hello, welcome to our village, my name is Suzumu, the leader of this area." The three looked at him and smiled, "Well, hello Suzumu-san! Im Amatsuki, these are my two friends Kashitarou and Soraru!"

The male smiled back before gently speaking, "Those are very nice names but.. I have to ask you to leave. But there are many places around our nice village you can visit. But as you can see... We had a bit of an issue here just now." He explained, while pointing to the giant cut in the door from the old room. The friends nodded in understandment before standing up again.

"Alright then, it was nice meeting you. I hope you get this place fixed up." The red-eyed brunnette said, slowly opening the door for his two friends. Suzumu kept his smile before waving a goodbye as the three had left. As he started walking back to the room, he had made sure the bar door was locked. He didint want any interruptions this time.

"Im back~ And I even saw that swordsman again. Heh.. They're so gullible." Suzumu said, before facing the albino again. Mafu didint dare look at him, instead he stared at the ground. The male sighed before lifting up his chin.

"My.. My.. What's so interesting about the floor Mafu-kun?" The albino tried looking away again but Suzumu just didn't let him before he whispered close to his ear, "Hm.. What should I do to you first~?"

"You two!" Luz yelled, before the two males flinched from surprise. "L-Luz?-" Before Sakata could finish, the blond just interrupted, "We're going back to the village!" Araki then stopped the male, "Luz! We dont have enough supplies to just go agaisnt them now!"

"I don't care! What- What if Suzumu does something to him!?"

The three just stared at him before they all just hugged the blond, "Mafu will be okay... Im sure.. But Araki's right. We have dont have enough supplies to just invade a village. Especially one that's big like that." Nqrse explained. Araki nodded, "He's right.. It's too late for us to go anywhere, so you go ahead and rest up, okay Luz?"

As the blond agreed, the three of them finally let him go from the hug. Then, Luz started making his way to his room to sleep.

"Do you think we can make it for them on time?" Sakata asked, while fiddling his sleeves nervously. Nqrse and Araki smiled at him before nodding. They were sure they'd be okay sooner or later. At least they hoped so.

Meanwhile in the village, the swordsman had been looking around with his two friends happily. Until they had stumbled across a building. Kashitarou then pondered for a bit, "Im guessing that's the prison?" Amatsuki then nodded, "I think it is, I wonder if theres anyone in there who are dangerous."

Soraru then sighed, "I wonder too but, we should start heading back. It's really late." Then he looked around trying to remember where they came from. He then started leading the other two to the route on the left where everything had started looking familiar. As they kept walking, Kashitarou had suddenly stopped.

The two turned to look at the brunnette confused, "What's wrong Kashi?" Amatsuki asked but was then hushed by the male. "Do you hear that?" Soraru tilted his head in confusion, "Hear what?" After a few more moments of silence, the three could hear distant screaming and yelling coming from the back of the bar.

Amatsuki then looked at the two, "Is that..?" As Kashitarou and Amatsuki was wondering what was going on, Soraru had took off running.

"Soraru!"

Even after hearing their voices, the swordsman kept on running, he could hear the noise getting louder and louder. "Stop! Stop it! Stop it! Please..!" After the attempt of trying. He decided to use enough force to suddenly open the door. When he looked up, his eyes widened to see the angel crying on the floor with his hands being pinned on the ground by the male on top of him.

Without even thinking, he quickly ran towards them and kicked Suzumu in the head causing him to fall off the albino. Mafu looked up and was relieved to see Soraru again. "Don't worry.. He should be knocked out for a small while. Let's just go." He gently said as he started to untie Mafu before he picked up the angels scythe, and handed it to him. They ran out the the room before they saw the two brunettes coming their way towards them.

"Mafu?!"

Amatsuki had a shocked expression, he looked at the angel seeing some bruises on his arms and legs. Some parts of his clothing was hanging off the side of Mafu's shoulders revealing marks near his neck and other areas, he just looked, terrible. And even exhausted. Kashitarou frowned before looking at Soraru's expression. The brunette knew that the swordsman wanted to leave now immediately so he sighed, "Lets start headi-"

"Wait.."

The three turned to look at him, "What's wrong Mafu-kun?" Amatsuki asked. "..Could we save my two friends..?" He asked quietly, as he stared at the ground. Soraru had a gentle smile before speaking, "Of course." Before Kashitarou and Amatsuki could say anyhting about possible consequences, they stopped after seeing Soraru trying to help make the angel feel better.

Then the red-eyed brunette had an idea where the two friends might be. As Amatsuki led the three again to the buidling, he opened the door softly, "I think they'll be in here.." He whispered, not trying to be loud to alert anyone from around the area.

As they slowly stepped inside, Mafu noticed an umbrella and a dark sword with purple markings hung on the wall. He gently took them off before looking over infront of him, noticing the two familiar figures. "I found them."

The other three followed close behind before seeing the two males on the ground. Mafu had a tiny smile before whispering, "Shima... Eve.. We're here to save you." The two looked up and quicklu stood up before noticing tje angel's appearance. "Mafu..! W-Wha-"

Mafu suddenly shushed him before slashing down down the bars with his weapon. Shima and Eve turned to look at the other three males before glaring, but the albino shook his head, "They're my friends as well.. So please try to get along and not kill them."

Eve and Shima sighed before giving a nodd, as the group started heading out, they had made sure they weren't being followed. It was quite dark through the routes but they eventually made it out of the village safely. Amatsuki smiled, "We did it.. We left, finally!" The brunnette next to him smiled as well well before turning to the group.

"Yep, so let's start heading home, together."

And Chapter 18 is complete! Shima, Eve, and Mafu are safe from the crazy Suzumu. At least for now they are. I also I felt bad for making Mafu suffer a bit in this chapter. But at least he and his friends are safe now!

But, like always thank you for reading! It's appreciated! 💕
