"You really think a weakling like him is worthy to join us." "Waste of time." "You piece of shit." "You won't remember it." "Misa." Kento's mind flooded with voices. He has heard them before. He started to remember. The pain the haunting memories came back. The man. The woman. His blood. Everything came back. He was seeing his past self getting brutally slaughtered.
Kento's eyes burst open. He started breathing heavily. His forehead was sweating. His hands shaking. He felt extreme fear. He looks around and gained total consciousness. Kento looks around and sees nothing but white walls around him. He's chained up on a table. The cuffs are holding his hands he's sitting in a chair. The room had no windows no doors. Just him alone. Surrounded by walls. He looks around and tries to figure out what happened. His eyes get wide, back then he was injected by that woman in the store. He tried to get up but tripped. His legs are chained as well. "What the hell is this? Where am I? Where is everyone?" He screamed, his eyes filled with rage and anger. He tries to separate himself from the handcuffs but failed. He screamed and slammed his hands again and again. After a few minutes he calmed down. He looks around. A tear drop fell from his eyes. He leaned back and his eyes were filled with tears. "Why me?" His tone shifted. "Why me?" He screamed. This time a scream of desperation.
"Why not you?" A voice came from behind. Kento's eyes blurry with tears. He tried to turn around and turned his head but saw no one behind him. He turned around and he was shocked. He sees a man in front of him. The man looked totally unpredictable. Kento's eyes locked with him. The man's eyes were crimson red. He's wearing a black suit. His hair was white and the watch on his hand looked magnificent. He sits down. Kento doesn't say a thing. He only watches him. The man looked at Kento. His eyes were sharp and by the looks of it anyone can tell that he has something up his sleeve. "So are you just gonna stare at me" - the man's tone was deep. "Where am I?" Kento's voice was almost silent, his tone was filled with questions and fears. "That doesn't matter. What matters is, how did you get here?" The man says. "I don't know. I was just working and then she. I mean a woman did something and I don't know." Kento was confused, afraid and his body was feeling extreme pain for some reason. "By a woman, do you mean the one who saved you or the one who attacked you?" Kento's eyes got bigger his body felt a sudden shock wave that chilled him to his spine. Kento remembers now. He recalled everything. The time he was attacked by that man earlier. When he was saved by Misa and that woman who injected him. Kento started panicking and looking around the man sits there quietly without a word. "Who are you all? That man with a sword you are with him." Kento leans back and started blabbing. The man smiles slightly and says - "that bastard Scarface?" Kento breathes heavily. The man looks at him and says - "look Kento either we can have a conversation like civilized people or I guess I have to inject you with this." The man pulls out a cylinder shaped injection. It looked way too advanced than the other ones. It looked futuristic. The liquid inside was strange. A black liquid. "If you don't cooperate I promise you will forget your very own identity." The man's eyes were sharp and looked deadly this time. He was serious and was holding back the whole time. A killer instinct. Kento feels fear gripping him and calms down. Not because he is convinced but he's been threatened with a sweet tone. "I just want to go back home." Kento mumbles. "Trust me we all do." The man says it with a smile. "Now then shall we talk about some things." The man leaned forward and looks into his eyes. "Ok I will tell you what you ask" - Kento's voice filled with fear.
"Look I don't wanna keep you in the dark, so I will tell you." The man's tone became softer and calmed. He looks at Kento. The atmosphere became chilly. "You've been here for eight hours. The woman who injected you is a fellow colleague. I apologize for what she did but it was necessary." The more the man said the more Kento gets confused and puzzled. "How's that possible? And what about Mr. Yamako?" The man leaned backwards and said - "the shopkeeper's alright don't worry. Just give me some simple answers and I will let you go and everything will be back to normal." His face looked unpredictable. Not a single reaction. Nobody could tell whether he's telling the truth or not. "I promise you won't even remember anything." Kento's mind was puzzled. "Now then, are you a traveller or do you work for them." Kento looked confused and troubled his mind couldn't figure out what he meant by that? Kento looks at him and says - "I am just a shopkeeper. I don't know what you're saying." The man looked a bit annoyed this time. He leaned forward and says - "do you think I am a fool. First you got inside of Scarface's mirror dimension then you weren't even affected by a first grade close ranged hit." Kento looks at him with fear. His forehead sweating his heartbeat was raising. "Who are you?" - The man says with a deep and strong tone. "I am just a shopkeeper I swear." The man's head tilted and his eyes reflected a crimson glow. By seeing his eyes glowing Kento's body froze up his body felt a cold sensation. All of a sudden Kento was punched by the man in the face. Within a blink of an eye. Kento couldn't even see his hand raising. He just felt the hit. The punch was so devastating that it knocked him along with the chair. Kento was knocked down on the floor. His nose bleeding and his vision became blurry. All of a sudden the man was standing right next to him. He leaned down and looked at him. His eyes were glowing and Kento barely had any strength to move around. His vision looked blurry and the blood from his nose covered his face. "Sorry for that I lost my cool for a bit. Shall we continue?" - the man smiles and says it with a playful tone.
He holds the chair and Kento's neck and pulls him up. He gets behind him and holds Kento's shoulders - "now be a good boy and give me what I need." Kento was bleeding and his head was spinning and vision was blurry. Right when the man passed next to him his bleeding stopped his blood was gone. His vision started coming back and his head was spinning a bit. Kento felt extreme fear and screamed - "what the hell are you." Kento was wounded badly minutes ago and just within a blink of an eye he became good as new the blood wound and pain disappeared. The man sits down and says - "I expect the truth this time." Kento screamed and leaned forward but his hands were tired and he couldn't get up because of the chains. The man grabs his collar and says - "who are you?" Kento screams and says - "I am a goddamn shopkeeper." The voice echoed. The man raised his fist and says - "liar." Just as he was about to punch him a voice came from behind, his fist stopped midair Kento's eyes closed due to natural reaction.
"That's enough V he's telling the truth. He is a goddamn shopkeeper." A female tone. The man or else I should say V looked at her. "Why did you enter?" The woman came closer and touched Kento's handcuffs. Just by touching it the handcuffs disappeared. Kento looked shocked and confused. Kento suddenly recalled a memory. It's her. Those blue eyes that black jacket. It's the woman who injected him. "I asked you something." V says but the woman doesn't say anything. She holds Kento's hand and gets him standing. "He's not what you think he is V. He might be the key." Kento looked confused and puzzled. "You're bluffing Monica." V's tone sounded annoyed by hearing it. She holds Kento's shoulder and says. "Now close it V we have things to do."
