"Wait what's happening?" Delta asks, stepping out of his bed, and looking at sakura and alpha. Ryu remains against the wall, alongside Daniel, who remains on his knees, tied up and tape stopping him from explaining to a worried delta. Sukuna doesn't reply to him however, and suddenly hooks his arms underneath deltas, making him jolt, trying to move but finds himself in mid air, "Why? Let me go!" Delta yells, trying to phase sukuna, but getting nowhere. Alpha snickers to himself, leaning against the wall, holding his side, whilst sakura stands in front.
"Alex has broken our rules, so he needs to pay." Sakura mutters, glancing at delta, who stops and his fear takes over, unable for him to speak. Ryu kicks Daniel down, as alpha sighs, before spitting at sakura, just annoying her even more.
"The rules are bullshit, just cause you want to make your mother proud." Alpha taunts, catching sakuras hesitation for a moment, knowing he's right. That is until she punches his gut, almost bursting his spleen on impact, knocking him down, and clutching his waist, trying to breathe. Delta remains shocked, whilst ryu mutters to herself, glancing away. Daniel uses his face as a weak leverage to push himself back up, wobbling slightly. If he knew this was the punishment why even tell me. Daniel sighs, trying to not get involved knowing alphas life might be at stake.
Sakura steps back, shaking her head as alpha leans back up, still somehow able to smirk, before sakura grabs his arm, bending it backwards, kicking him down again, but still holding his arm. Delta shakes, and tries to escape again, as sukuna keeps him as is, not wanting to this happen as much as everyone else. But it's sakuras rules, so we have to respect them, as stupid as they are. Sukuna reminds himself, whilst she pins alpha down, so his face is squished into the ground, yanking his arm up, slowly. " Looks like Alex never was anything special, just a mistake of a higher up." Sakura mutters, dislocating his arm completely, letting it drop down, leaving alpha to curse in pain. "You really never did serve a purpose did you?" She adds, kicking his face in, as delta looks away for a second.
Ryu tenses up, as daniel remains guilty, knowing this was caused because he went with alpha. Alpha meanwhile coughs as he tries to keep breathing, as his arm remains broken. How is he still alive is a miracle, or even awake at the most part. He adds, trying to find a weak point in the ropes, ignoring them burning his skin in the mean time. Ryu spots Daniel trying but Stays quiet, wanting this to end as quick as possible.
Sakura leans down, grabbing alphas hair, yanking his face up, as he just spits blood at her face, still smirking. "I'm used to this remember? And you don't want to scare poor little karma now do you?" He adds. Sakura pauses, almost dropping alpha down, before throwing him across the room, landing against the wall, as sakura stalks him over, causing sukuna and ryu to glance over in caution.
"Let him go idiot!" Ryu yells, gesturing to delta, who pauses, spotting sukuna put him down. Delta doesn't even think twice, rushing into sakura, pushing her off course and into the wall, making his way to alpha almost straight away. Alpha curses as delta picks him up, hugging him in fear. Ryu and sukuna keep their distance, as daniel watches delta and alpha. That's how siblings are meant to care for each other. Then again, I doubt sakura understands how to use common sense. Daniel ponders, as delta keeps alpha almost hidden, who just takes it, knowing he won't be able to move for a while now.
Sakura gets up, causing the tension to rise up as well. Looking over at alpha and delta she pauses, staggering a little from the impact. "Why would you hurt Alex, but not karma? You know he's hurting right now because of his brothers state." Sukuna points out, still remaining cautious. Sakura doesn't reply, almost in a trance at the sight. Maybe because it's new to her. Sukuna sighs, whilst delta stands up, still holding alpha, as he sits down onto his bed, covering alpha in his blanket before standing up. The rest watch in a sense of almost glee, as he walks over to sakura, grabbing her chains and yanking her to him.
"How many times to you have to hurt him? Until you tell us you don't like him?" Delta asks, watching sakuras wavering conflicted emotions. "His my fucking brother, you don't like it when people hurt sukuna why would I like it when you hurt him?" Delta adds, pushing sakura aback, "you always ruin shit for me, I'm not a kid, im not that kid you saw anymore." Delta sighs, walking away and leaving the room. The rest wait in fear at sakuras reaction, which is her just sitting down at alphas desk, staying quiet. Ryu pauses, and decides to let Daniel go, who stands up but doesn't do anything, guessing it's to dangerous to do so.
"The timing, sakura and delta have a amazing test today, this time you get to watch how they fight." Ryu snickers slightly, gesturing to the group to leave. "I'll stay with alpha, sukuna you can't leave Daniel alone so run along now." Ryu adds, as sakura leads the way, in cold silence. Daniel follows just behind sukuna, whilst alpha hides in th blanket watching them leave.
Like normal, the group don't say a word to each other, catching the attention of other people, some walking past and staring, others changing their route entirely. Must be a saiko thing. Daniel mutters, as sakura walks into a doorway, as sukuna points to one besides it. "We have to go in there, it's a viewing room." Sukuna explains, as daniel nods, opening the door, using his id, questioning why some rooms don't need it, but doesn't ask, walking up a set of stairs, with sukuna just behind him. Opening another room, two scientists stand there looking at the duo.
"Ah! Mr saiko, it's a honour to met you at last!" One exclaims, as sukuna nods, accepting his handshake, whilst daniel looks at them both and knows it's just a formal tension. I doubt that, probably because we're being watched . Daniel tells himself, knowing the killers and scientists don't have any kind of friendship or care for each other. "Any reason to why you will watch these two today? I heard your sister had killed a level 1 yesterday." The scientist asks, pushing a file away before typing onto a computer, however the other one just stands against the wall, watching Daniel in intrigue.
"She did, due to them attacking delta sir." Sukuna repiles, his normal tone replaced by a much harsher almost empty tone, letting daniel remember his first meeting with sukuna, having him use it around anyone that isn't the group. The scientist who types away chuckles, in a slightly anxious manner. Must be terrrifed, it's sukuna afterall. Daniel shakes his head, understanding that feeling completely.
"So your pet, he's a newbie right?" The other one asks standing up, throwing something into the bin, as sukuna nods, making the scientist smirk and clap his hands. "Well, he should be grateful, watching these two practice. It's almost impossible to be granted access." They add, before leaning over the desk, opening the shutters as sukuna glances down at the other room, gesturing Daniel to do the same, as he spots sakura leaning against the wall, her eyes closed with her arms crossed. "This is where the fun begins." The one who was leaning against the wall says, opening a small door against the wall, catching Daniels fear, spotting a group of normal people stagger in.
"Ah! The new ones don't get told, those are merely fugitives, or criminals on death row, you don't have to worry about them. Now, you want woodlands or storage facility?" The more upbeat one asks, glancing at daniel who pauses and looks at them with anxiety.
"U-uh woodlands?" He blurts, as both the scientists laugh slightly, making the room shift around, making daniel watch in awe, as it becomes a vastly spaced out wooded area, roughly twice the size of the original room. Sukuna doesn't even seem fussed, looking away as the scientists smirk and close the doors, making the group of people look around in fear and anxiety.
"Let the show begin!" The scientists say in union, gesturing to the walls where a set of cameras are. "You choose the best one for zeta!" One says, whilst daniel looks at the cameras, unsure of how to feel about this.
...
Sakura sighs, brushing herself down. "I liked this outfit too." She mutters, pushing a hood up, followed by a small mask too hide her mouth and nose, before she starts walking without a care. Tredding quietly sakura glances around, watching any motion in her line of sight. "So about five this time, must be running low again." She mutters, leaning down, and staying still, aware that her height gives away where she is easily. The sound of running catches her attention, swiftly turning around, sakura walks slowly towards the running, keeping her steps small and as quiet as possible, making next to no sound, their not even trying to stay quiet, must be shitting themselves. Sakura wonders, pausing as the footsteps stop, followed by a small yell, giving her the idea that two are arguing. Taking this as a advantage, she stalks the noise with ease, tredding lightly, before climbing up a sturdy enough tree, spotting two easy, bright orange clothing, guess they didn't even bother this time. Sakuras rolls her eyes in boredom, personally hating when their this easy to spot.
"We're screwed don't you get it!? Why is there even a point in trying?" One yells, waving his arms around, as the other stands there, sighing, but keeping his eye on the surroundings. "What if they've used us for one of those really strong ones?" The stranger adds, leaning down and picking up a small rock. The more scared stranger looks at them with confusion.
"They won't have, our skills are weak, it's probably just a small level 1." They stutter, hoping it is the case, as they step back, cuddling themselves, in fear, whilst the other one grumbles and tosses the rock down, leaving the other shocked. "Shouldn't we stay as quiet as possible?" They suggest, as the other stranger sighs again, even more annoyed.
"Shut up then, you'll die first anyways, look at you." They insult, pushing the much more frail person down, "you don't even have a chance if it was a level 1." They add, walking away. The stranger sits down, knowing they aren't lying, as sakura watches carefully, almost curious.
No teams this time, this makes it too easy, something isn't right. Sakura pauses, sitting against the tree on a branch, glancing at the one who remains on the floor, unsure of what to do. I'm not karma, so this is different. She adds, knowing they prefer to use people who won't team with delta. So she sits there, before something comes to mind, making her jump down suddenly, grabbing the strangers neck and pushing them down.
The stranger doesn't even flinch, as sakura widens her eyes in shock, jumping aback as the stranger gets up, looking at sakura as she steps aback. "Guess you figured it out." They spit, as sakura braces herself, whilst the stranger laughs and looks at her. "Always the smart one aren't you? Maybe I'll get bumped up if I killed you." They add, glancing at their hand as a sharp spike like object comes out of their hand, of course they have that. Sakura curses, as the stranger looks back at her. "Lets go then saiko." They taunt, running towards sakura before changing their direction, swiftly rushing to her side, catching her off guard enough to land a blow against her arm, using the spike to trap her arm into a tree next to her, disloging the spike from their hand.
Sakura doesn't even react, making them pause, as she just snickers, taking her arm out as they step back in shock. "Aw, you got yourself all pumped up with confidence." She smiles, walking to the stranger, as they try to move but finds themselves stuck. Looking down, they spot something around their legs, as sakura pushes their head back up, watching their confidence face away and get replaced by fear. "But it was a waste wasn't it? Level 3 I presume, i feel flattered for your kind to fight me, especially since there's so few of you left." She adds, still keeping a grip on them. "Hm, how should I kill you? My brother is watching. Ah! Here we go." She mutters, grabbing the spike they used, ramming it into their neck, before swiftly moving it to send their head down, with the body not far behind.
Sakura leaves the body behind, before turning at the window, spotting Daniel and sukuna watching. She just waves and walks away.
