Everyone walked up to the front porch. "A-Are you sure we need his help~?" Uno said.
"Yes, I'm sure. Hajime is strong! He is a gorilla, and he can totally take on anyone," (Y/n) said, turning to the boys. She looked back at the door to only be met with a chest.
She looked up at an angry Hajime. "Who are you calling a gorilla?" Hajime said.
"... N-No one~" (Y/n) said.
"Hurt her, and I'll hurt you," Kaito said.
"So a tough guy~... What do you idiots want?" Hajime said. "I have to go to work."
"We need your help," (Y/n) said, looking up at him more seriously. "There are dangerous people, and they have poisoned Akira and are after me, and I think Jyugo. But we have no idea why... They are very dangerous... They tried to kill Jyugo~... And kidnap me... Aunt Kat erased mine and Akira's memories to keep our guard down around her... She really was just as my mother described"
"Do you have a plan?" Hajime said.
"... No," (Y/n) mumbled. "... For right now, we are just winging it. And I know what we have to do will be illegal... So you can throw us back into prison if you really want after all this, but right now, you have to ignore it... Kat was the one that killed my mother. She framed me, so eyes were always on me, and then she framed a poor man... I promise I'll do anything to get you to help."
"Anything?" Hajime said.
"Yes," (Y/n) said.
"... When you go back to prison, you are not to escape and, in fact, help me," Hajime said.
"Deal!" (Y/n) giggled.
"Did you all stuff into the tiny car? And why are you wearing nice clothes? You look cute, don't get me wrong, but what's the occasion?" Hajime said.
"Yes... We did... And you can blame this idiot for buying me these clothes!" (Y/n) shouted, punching Kaito lightly.
"Was that supposed to be a punch? It was like an ant~" Kaito teased.
"..." (Y/n) glared at him then kicked him in the shin. "How was that for an ant?"
"You are much more violent with a good friend, aren't you?" Hajime said.
"No, not really. She just hates it when she is called short, nerd, and weak... Which I think she gets mad because she knows it's true," Kaito said.
"Do you want me to aim for you balls next?" (Y/n) said.
"... By the way, are the teddy bear panties comfortable~?" Kaito teased. (Y/n)'s face lit up.
"Shut up!!!" (Y/n) shouted. "I'm going back into the car, creep! I hope you are launched into the stars, and a star burns you!" (Y/n) stormed back into the car.
"... She is a lot more short-tempered than I thought," Hajime said.
"It's cute," Nico giggled.
"No... She is never like this... She is worried. Worried for Akira the most... Akira was (Y/n)'s first friend. And now that she is poisoned... On top of that, she doesn't;t know what to do with the situation we are in... " Kaito said. "... I worried for her...The stress will either drive her crazy... Or... She will end up running away and giving in... Or just completely disappear."
"I'm sure everything will be fine!" Rock said. "(Y/n) is even stronger than me, to be honest. She is honest, brave, and clever. If anyone can save us, well her, it's her"
"And she might not be able to read people well, but we can," Honey said.
"And now that Hajime is here, I'm sure everything will turn out fine-" Nico was cut off by (Y/n) screaming. They all turn around to see Elf holding a knife to (Y/n) throat whispering something in her. Her eyes widen.
"(Y/n)!" Kaito shouted. "Let go of her creep!" Elf and (Y/n) were standing right at the side of the back door's car. The door was opened, showing (Y/n) was about to get in when Elf somehow got into the car and got (Y/n).
"Take one more step, and she is dead. Do you understand? And I'm pretty sure you don't want your little crush to get cut open~" Elf said, looking at them. "Oh, how I wish I could, though~... You are such an exciting specimen number 0964~ Always trying to escape your fate~... And you still are~... You know you will never make it to space~... Not someone your age~... Not someone like you~..."
(Y/n) looked at him with wide eyes. The light in her eyes slowly started to disappear. Her arms dropped to her side. She stopped struggling. His words were getting to her. "You should just give up a daydream that will never come true. If you come with me, you can have a purpose~" Elf said, looking down at her.
"Shut up!" Kaito shouted. "(Y/n)! It's not true! You promised your father you would go! You have to! I know you can! you have always proved the impossible possible!"
"What a pest~" Elf muttered.
"... How pathetic... Taking a helpless girl hostage?" Hajime said, cracking his knucks. "My job is to make sure my prisoners are in their cells, getting fed, and to protect them~... Let my prisoner go, or you will regret it, you pointy-eared freak."
(Y/n) looked at Hajime. "As I said, come near, and she will be cut~," Elf said, pushing the knife even more against her throat, drawing a little blood. Akira~... Akira... I hope you are okay... What will you do when I'm gone? I'm so sorry... I wasn't strong enough to help... I'm not strong enough to get away... I know you will be so mad~... But it's true (Y/n) thought as she looked at the ground.
"Akira~" (Y/n) whispered. Elf looked down at (Y/n).
"Oooh, you mean the girl you Aunt poisoned? I'm sure she is dead now~... It was quite a lot of moving around she was doing~... And yu didn't get her to a hospital immedately~" Elf said. (Y/n)'s eyes started to tear up.
"It's... All my fault~..." (Y/n) muttered. "I'm sorry~... I'm so so so sorry~... I'm not strong enough to do anything Akira~... I got you killed~... I'm... I'm so... Done... I don't want to be alive anymore" (Y/n) raised her hand to his hand and pushed even more making more blood come out. "Kill me~" Elf looked surprised.
"(Y/n)! Don't!" Jyugo yelled. "Akira! Akira would be pissed if you offed yourself! You have so much to live for! It's not your fault! Don't kill yourself!"
He pushed her hand back, as he did (Y/n) quickly grabbed the blade. She then stomped on his foot and elbowed his stomach, giving her time to step away. Once she did, she pointed theblood-stainedd knife at him.
