Chapter 1: Prologue
Chapter Text
Tachihara had always thought that if given the opportunity to avenge his brother he would have shot without problem. In the end he hadn’t been able to shoot, when he had the terrorist Yosano Akiko at his feet waiting for him to shoot he couldn’t do it. The ride back to headquarters had been calm and quiet except for Jounou’s and Tecchou’s occasional bickering. Tachihara had to admit it felt weird to be back at headquarters, he had grown accustomed to the dark and eerie atmosphere of the Mafia headquarters and the everyday routine he followed with Hirotsu and Gin as members of the Black Lizard. Not that he wasn’t a loyal member of the Hunting Dogs, he would never betray them for the Port Mafia. As he entered the building he saw Yosano Akiko get taken to a cell where she would be kept before getting interrogated and tortured. He saw Jouno and Teruko leading her away and he felt the urge to go after them, knowing that they would probably be the ones doing the torture.
“Jouno, Teruko wait!” he said, rushing after them.
“What is it, Tachihara?” Teruko asked annoyed.
“Um..can I go with you?” he asked nervously.
“Wow, Tachihara I didn’t think you had the guts for torturing people.” Jouno said cheerfully, to annoy him.
“Uhh..no..I just wanted to watch.”Tachihara answered.
At that Teruko just nodded and kept walking. Eventually they reached a white room with a single desk and chair, there was also a big glass panel that separated the interrogation/torture room from the observation room. After chaining Yosano to the desk Jouno, Tachihara and Teruko made their way to the observation room. Tachihara having infiltrated the Mafia and being a Hunting Dog was no stranger to torture, but he had to admit he didn’t feel good about it regardless. Jouno headed over to where the computer controlling the lights, temperature and noises of the room was and typed something on the keyboard. Immediately a repeating audio could be heard from the other room. Tachihara thought that sensory tortures were the worst because they could last for days and days without a break. As he observed the terrorist he felt sick to his stomach, he couldn’t understand how Jouno or Teruko might enjoy this. He couldn’t keep watching, he excused himself and left the room quickly.
Chapter 2: Chapter 1. Yosano.
Summary:
Yosano joins the Hunting dogs...
Notes:
Hi, last chapter was really short so I tried to make this longer. I'm hoping to be able of publishing a chapter every week or atleast twice a month but I can't promise anything. To the one person who have me kudos: Thank you, I really appreaciate it. It's nice knwing someone liked my shitty writing.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
Yosano was dreaming her mind repeating the scene over and over. Tachihara telling her he was a hunting dog, not shooting her, getting captured and then repeating. She then heard the door to her cell opening and two Hunting Dogs entering the torture room. She sat straighter on the chair she was chained to, her face bruised from the torture but her gaze still strong and defiant. A red haired little girl approached her and laughed before saying.
“Ready to confess yet, angel of death?”-she asked looking at her
Yosano stared back at her, despite having been tortured for multiple hours still refusing to budge. The girl and the other Hunting Dog, a blind man with white hair that had red tips, gave each other a glance before nodding silently agreeing on something.
“Since you seem to refuse to confess we have a deal”-the blind man spoke
“What’s the deal?”-Yosano asked curiously, to see where this was going.
“Join us as a Hunting Dog and you’ll be forgiven of your crimes”-the red haired girl answered.
“Never! I will never betray the Agency.” Yosano answered angrily. How could they even ask such stupid question? It was obvious she would never betray the people who had taken her in when she was at her lowest. Ranpo and Fukuzawa were like the family she never had, and the other members felt like lifetime friends. Yosano would rather endure torture than betray them. The two Hunting Dogs exchanged a look before speaking again.
The blind man smiled cruelly and said “I wonder how the other Agency members would endure the torture, wouldn’t it be sad if they broke? We wouldn’t have anyone to play with then would we Teruko?
“You’re right, Jouno. It would be a tragedy, wouldn’t it be?”- Teruko answered.
Yosano gritted her teeth, knowing they were trying to manipulate her. She refused to let them win though, she would endure everything if it meant her fellow Agency members were out there bringing the Agency back together. The two Hunting Dogs looked at each other again and the blind one took out a pair of black rectangular glasses.
“Does this seem familiar Yosano?”-Jouno asked, sliding the pair of glasses to her.
Yosano gasped in shock, those glasses…there was no mistaking them they were Kunikida’s. They had Kunikida as well? That meant he hadn’t died which made her glad, but the thought of her friend being subjected to similar treatment made her feel sick. She couldn’t allow this, not to her family. They had already been through enough they deserved to be happy. She stared at the glasses for what felt like a long time. The warning they contained was clear; We have your friend and if you don’t cooperate we’ll have to hurt him.
“What are the conditions?”-Yosano finally asked reluctantly, knowing she had no other choice.
“I’m glad you decided to be reasonable. It’s simple, you will work for us from now on, you can’t tell anyone why and you must obey all orders. If you follow these rules, we’ll stay away from the Agency”-Teruko said calmly, although amusement could be seen in her eyes.
Yosano let out a sigh, thinking about her two options. Betraying the Agency in a moment like this didn’t sit well with her, after all how could she just leave after everything they had done for her? On the other hand accepting the deal was probably the only way she could help them right now, but her brain couldn’t stop thinking how heartbroken Ranpo and Fukuzawa would be, she just hoped they’d understand.
“I accept”-she said unwaveringly, she refused to show any weakness especially in front of them.
“Sign here, please”-Jouno says, giving her a contract and a pen.
Yosano reads it over and signs it before giving it back.
“Welcome to the Hunting Dogs”-Teruko says, offering her hand for a handshake.
Yosano shakes her hand, and stands up from the chair as Teruko frees her from the chains. She lets herself be led to a small dorm with a closet, bed and small table. Once she’s there she collapses on the bed, not caring whether they see her exhaustion or not. She’s fast asleep in moments.
Notes:
If you find any mistakes please tell me. I tried to write what I think Yosano feels about the ADA, I'm bad at writing so maybe it's a bit rushed :(
Next chapter will probably be Ranpo and the Agency finding out, so I'll try to make it angstyy.....
Anyways thanks for reading!!
