CRAZY FOR HER
Both men fall silent. Leaves swirl around her. A glowing sigil burns onto her collarbone.
hiroto
HIROTO (shocked whisper):
“…The Mark of the Flame.”
takeshi
Takeshi’s expression darkens with hunger, obsession.
takeshi
TAKESHI (whispers):
“She’s awakening.
And now… she’s mine.”
hiroto
Hiroto steps in front of her protectively, teeth gritted.
hiroto
HIROTO:
“I won’t let you use her like them.”
yuna
Yuna falls to her knees again, sweating, confused, the sigil glowing brighter.
yuna
YUNA (barely):
“What… am I?”
Takeshi and Hiroto, staring at each other across her.
BOTH (in sync):
“A weapon.
A goddess.
A Hijin.”
yuna
Yuna:
“W-Where are we going?! Let me go!”
takeshi
Takeshi (calm, deadly):
“We are letting you go.
Away from the world.”
hiroto
Hiroto (soft voice):
“You’ll be safe, Yuna.
With me...,
i mean us.”
yuna
Yuna (struggling):
“No—no! I don’t trust either of you!”
takeshi
Takeshi (smirks):
“Then scream.”
takeshi
Takeshi (leans close, voice brushing her ear):
“Scream as loud as you want.
Only we’ll hear.”
hiroto
Hiroto (gently holding her arms):
“We had no choice.
They would’ve found you.
Used you.”
yuna
Yuna (breathing hard):
“And you won’t?”
hiroto
Hiroto (quietly):
“I’d die before I hurt you.”
takeshi
Takeshi (chuckles darkly):
“I won’t.
But I won’t let anyone else touch you either.”
yuna
Yuna:
“Are you insane?!”
takeshi
Takeshi:
“Obsession is the purest form of loyalty.”
yuna
Yuna:
ohh stop it...
“You drugged me… tied me up… brought me to—
Where are we?!”
hiroto
Hiroto:
“Our home now.
No one knows this place.
You’ll be treated like a queen.”
yuna
Yuna (furious):
“Prisoners don’t build palaces!”
takeshi
Takeshi (steps closer):
“And queens don’t run.”
yuna
Yuna (backs away):
“I’m not yours!”
hiroto
Hiroto (serious):
“Then choose, Yuna.
Before we break each other apart.”
yuna
Yuna (shocked):
“What…?”
takeshi
Takeshi:
“You’re the thread holding us together.
And tearing us apart.”
yuna
Yuna (whispers, eyes wide):
“Why… me?”
hiroto
Hiroto (softly):
“Because your blood calls to ours.”
takeshi
Takeshi:
“And your fire…
It was made for destruction.”
yuna
Yuna (suddenly):
“…I remember.”
hiroto
Hiroto (eyes narrowing):
“What did you say?”
yuna
Yuna (voice low, dangerous):
“I know who I am.
And you should both be scared.”
Takeshi and Hiroto freeze—staring at her.
takeshi
Takeshi (grinning):
“Finally.”
