Downward Spiral Pt.2

Part 2 of the last chapter!

🚨WARNING(s)🚨 Angst, angst...and more angst; just...heartbreak

BEFORE ANYONE GETS CONFUSED, there will be a bit of flashback and reminiscing on Kai's part, so all of the stuff in italics, in the beginning, are his flashbacks.

Idk if I explained that well, but I hope it makes sense!

Happy reading! Muah! (✿◕3◕)~❤

~Recap~

"You know," Kurono started slowly. "You could always just...shut this entire operation down. It wouldn't be too late."

"No," Kai immediately shut that idea down. "I've put a lot into this, and I can't just drop it. From the moment I put Pops into a coma, I was in too deep with this to turn back. At the time, I couldn't care less..."

Kurono urged for him to continue. "But..."

"But now (Your Name) is here, and I know it's not too late for her. She can still have a better life than this."

"So..." Kurono hesitantly started. "What are you planning to do?"

A shaky sigh escaped from Kai's lips.

"I'm going to tell her...she's no longer needed here."

~Present~

The silver-haired male's eyes widened. "Are you sure about this? You should think this through. And I mean, thoroughly, think it through."

"No," The young Yakuza leader shook his head. "I've made up my mind. The sooner she's out of here, the better her life will be."

"I'm sure she won't agree to that." Kurono furrowed his eyebrows at the Yakuza head. "She wants you in her life more than anything. The woman loves you to death-"

"And you think I don't love her?" Kai yelled out, gripping his brown locks in frustration. "I love the woman so much it hurts. That is the very reason why I must let her go...she deserves the world, I know, but she won't get it here..."

Without giving his childhood friend the chance to retaliate, Kai pivoted on his heels to make his way out of the experiment room.

"With all due respect, that's not your decision to make alone! This isn't the only way to give her a better life, Chisaki!"

Kurono's reasoning fell on deaf ears. Kai's mind was made up, and that was the end of it. No one is changing it.

Kai's pace slowed to a leisurely walk, his kind wandering to every last moment you shared.

He let out an airy laugh when remembering the moment you first met:

"Don't start this shit with me again, you halitosis-infested piece of shit! The only reason you're even REMOTELY successful is because I'M busting MY ass trying to make sure these stupid heroes don't cause YOU any problems! If I were to walk out right now, your entire operation would be shot to shit!"

He remembered how utterly pissed you were that night. You threw open the doors of that filthy, run-down bar like you owned it and put the blade of your scythe to the neck of your previous boss. Kai remembered how petrified you made the man.
