Tender Love & Care

Breaking

Kouyou jumped up panting heavily, and she looked around taking in her surroundings. She was in the Port Mafia infirmary. She had taken a fatal wound to the chest. She looked next to her Dazai laid in the next bed over. Kouyou pushed herself up and out of bed as good as he body would let her. Kouyou walked over to Dazai and she looked down at him. He was pretty banged up himself. And Kouyou's eyes saddened. She covered up Dazai before she stumbled her way to the infirmary doors, she pushed the doors open and she walked out. She walked the halls of the base in hopes of seeing Chuuya. In hopes that someone caught Fitzgerald and saved Chuuya. Megumi was currently coming to visit Kouyou and also give her a message. Megumi looked up and she saw Kouyou holding onto the wall moving slowly. 

"Madame Kouyou!" Megumi ran over to her and stopped in front of her. "You shouldn't be out of bed!" 

"I need to find Chuuya!" Kouyou snapped. 

Megumi's eyes saddened. 

"What?"  

Megumi didn't answer. Kouyou grabbed her face and made her look at her. 

"What Megumi?! What is it?!" Kouyou asked demandingly. 

"I really didn't think you should see it... but I found it on the dining room table this morning..." 

Megumi put the small micro SD chip into her phone and she waited for the chip to be compatible with her phone. Once it was she lifted up her phone to show Kouyou and she played the video. 

Ω 

Fitzgerald stood in front of the camera, smirking. 

"Ah Ms. Ozaki Kouyou. Charmed. I am the leader of The Guild Francis Key Scott Fitzgerald. As you can see I have your son with me." 

Kouyou's eyes widened as she saw Chuuya strapped to a chair behind him. 

"He would have been dead sooner. But. You had to interfere. You had to come that day and save him from the horrible life he was  destined  with. His mother sold him to me you know? For  heroin . And  Chuuya  here was going to be my vessel. He still is. I'm glad I found you. I found my prize. There was a huge bounty on his head for whoever found him first." 

Kouyou watched as a dark light illuminated around where Chuuya was sitting. Her eyes started filling up with tears. She watched Chuuya's eyes fly open and she saw as Chuuya trembled and he screamed out in pain. 

"Well I guess that money belongs to you Ms. Ozaki. Thank you for taking care of him really. But he's no longer your issue. Ta-ta." Fitzgerald said as he waved goodbye, and then stopped the video. 

Kouyou started crying, and she was trembling. She felt sick to her stomach, and like he was going to faint at any second. Her heart ached in ways she couldn't describe. Her son was suffering. He was scared and alone, and she felt so helpless and useless. She couldn't protect him like she promised. Kouyou started sobbing uncontrollably. 

"Madame..." Megumi said sadly. 

"He's in pain! A-And I can't do anything... Chuuya's alone and suffering... And I'm not there... What kind of mother am I when I can't even protect my baby?!" Kouyou cried out. 

Megumi hugged Kouyou tightly while she tried to hold back her own tears. 

"You're a good mother! Don't say that! You’re the mother who Chuuya always needed and was lucky to have. You're the mother who saved him from being abused every day. You're the mother who held him when he was sad, and was there through all his smiles. You're the mother who never missed his birthday, holidays, or any special occasion he had. You're the mother who would stay in his room and stroke his hair until he calmed down from his nightmares. You're the mother who would poke his nose and pinch his little cheeks. The mother who would tickle him just to make him laugh. You're the mother that would play hide n seek with him, and any other games he wanted on your days off. And you're also the mother who would read him bed time stories, give him kisses and more affection than anyone could ever ask for. But most of all, you're the mother who has loved and taken care of Chuuya for 12 years. The mother who has never given up. So, don't now!"
