Two-Faced
Announced
It is the morning of July 5, 2024. The day the news announced the finding of the priceless mineral Karmin, a beautiful clear crystal. Some people even call it “The glass of the gods.”. Even a tiny sliver of said crystal is worth 100,000 US dollars. Once people found out how much this crystal is worth, the demand for it rose like a river after a flood. One boy in particular, who’s name was Juuzou was not interested in partaking in this search for the crystal. Instead he wanted to live a normal; hassle-filled life. Unlike another man, named Sakuyama, who’s eyes were filled with greed, and would do anything for it.
News woman
We have just been informed of some new information from our local sources!
News woman
Scientists have done research with the measly amount of Karmin they have, and have found out that this unknown substance is crucial to the study of future technology!
News woman
8-%0X or “Karmin” has been found to have immense amounts of electrical energy coursing through its shards! We’ve been informed that one pound of Karmin, is equal to 1 whole electric power plant!
News woman
Until now we have been using artificial electricity, but could we have been using Natural Electric Energy (NEE) this whole time?
News woman
The most common places Karmin has been foun-
Juuzou shuts off the television
Juuzou
Stupid people and their greed.
Juuzou
We’re fine with artificial electricity aren’t we? So why would they have to change it?
Juuzou
Because it’s “ruining the earth?”
Juuzou
As long as the earth isn’t ruined while I’m on it I’ll be fine.
Juuzou
Ugh it’s 12:47 already?
Juuzou
I guess I’ll get some sleep..
*The phone rings and Juuzou answers it.*
Juuzou
Why are you calling so late?
Huikook
*pouts* can I not call my best friend?
Juuzou
Not at 12:48 you dumbass.
Huikook
Well I already did so you can suck it up buttercup!
Juuzou
Ugh.. what do you want anyways?
Huikook
Let’s meet tomorrow!
Huikook
I have something important to tell you!
Huikook
I’ll see you at Gyuyu’s café at 1:00 pm!
Confrontation
Sakuyama
Go out and collect more slaves.
Kuumin
And why should I listen to you again?
Sakuyama
Because I pay you.
Kuumin
Oh yeah I forgot-...
Kuumin
Even though I don’t get paid enough!
Sakuyama
Say that again and I’ll decrease your salary.
Kuumin
*sarcastic* Yes sir, sorry sir. I’ll go get some more weak kids.
Sakuyama
Don’t get the weak ones! They have to mine Karmin remember?
Sakuyama
That takes a lot of man-power you know
Kuumin
*mumbles* which is exactly why your weak *** hires slaves...
Sakuyama
Sorry come again?
Kuumin
Fine I’ll go get the slaves now. Be back in a bit.
Kuumin
With some strong kids!
Kuumin
By the way, your supposed to compliment me on my enthusiasm-...
Sakuyama
Just leave already god damnit
Sakuyama
I thought I told you to call me sir.
Sakuyama
Ugh. I don’t believe you mean that.
Kuumin
I just wanted to see what your reaction would be
Sakuyama
Stop crying and go get some slaves.
Sakuyama
Leave before I change my mind about hiring you.
Kuumin
Okkkkk~ I’m going now
Abducted
Kuumin
Hmph. That old weasel is so rude sometimes.
Kuumin sees Juuzou walking on the street which just so happens to be nearly deserted.
Kuumin
Hey that’s a good one boss will definitely like him! Not to mention he’s cute too! Maybe I’ll get the chance to talk to him..
Kuumin grabs Juuzou’s hand in the least suspicious way possible, and brings him to a shiny silver SUV.
Juuzou
Hey? Who are you? What are you do-Umph!
Kuumin puts a cloth in Juuzous mouth so he can’t speak or make noise.
*They arrive at Sakuyama’s office.*
Kuumin
Hey boss! I found a really cute one~
Kuumin
He’s in the basement right now
Sakuyama
Ok, I’ll go take a look.
*Sakuyama goes downstairs*
Sakuyama
He looks pretty average to me...
A single tear trickles from Juuzou’s eye.
Sakuyama
Wait, are you crying?
Authors note: Oh noo!those are definitely tears of joy from being kidnapped~
Juuzous head is hung low to where his hair is covering his big shiny gray eyes.
Juuzou
*Looks up at Sakuyama with his eyes sparkling*
Sakuyama
Oh my god, your eyes are so pretty
Juuzou stares in shock for a second, then the tears start to trickle again.
Sakuyama
Wait- did I just say that out loud..?
Sakuyama takes out the cloth that was shoved in Juuzous mouth.
A string of saliva stretches from Juuzous lips to the cloth.
Sakuyama
*Finds himself staring at Juuzous glossy lips, and thinks “He’s just a peasant... no need to get all worked up....”
Sakuyama puts down the cloth, stands up, and locks the door to the jail cell.
Sakuyama
You don’t know how lucky you actually are. Most of the slaves are sleeping outside in the heat.
Sakuyama
*chuckles* hahahahaha! Man you really are something..
Sakuyama
Haven’t you heard the news?
Sakuyama
You know people are collecting slaves to mine for 8-%0X?
Sakuyama
And your master just happens to be this handsome.
Juuzou
A...are you talking about K...karmin?
Sakuyama
Hahahahahha! What else would I be looking for? Diamonds?
Sakuyama
Oh by the way you are to call me “Master” from now on.
Sakuyama
Well it’s getting late, so go to sleep.
Sakuyama
You have a lot of work tomorrow.
Juuzou
Have a good s..sleep.
Sakuyama turns off the light, closes the door to the basement, and goes upstairs.
