DeathAngel [Akutagawa x Reader]

Chapter 30 (Dead Apple)

--3rd POV--

"Shibusawa, correct?" Akutagawa, walking into the ruins.

Shibusawa didn't answer, his back turned to Akutagawa.

Akutagawa grit his teeth. "Rashoumon!" Akutagawa said. "Demonic Armour."

Suddenly, Shibusawa moved out of the way, revealing the tied up figure behind him.

"Y/n..." Akutagawa muttered Shibusawa smiled, a hand on the blindfolded girls cheek.

"Yes, y/n. Quite important to you lot?" Shibusawa asked as y/n jerked against the bonds holding her down.

Y/n had a blindfold and had her mouth taped. Metal chains wrapped around her body and she had the shock collar still attacked to her neck.

"You lot?" Akutagawa asked as he looked back to see Kyouka in the shadows.

Kyouka had paused in the fog, eyes widening in shock as she saw y/n, bound.

"Onee-chan?" Kyouka asked as y/n snapped her head towards Kyouka's voice.

--Y/n POV--

I snapped my head up as I heard the soft voice.

"Onee-chan?" Kyouka-chan asked as I struggled against the bonds holding me down.

I couldn't see and couldn't speak.

"Kyouka-chan!" I tried calling out but my voice was muffled.

I felt someone, Shibusawa grip my shoulder.

"She's important to all of you." Shibusawa said as I shivered under his hard touch.

I jerked my shoulder, shoving his hand off as I could almost feel Shibusawa give me an amusing smile.

Suddenly, the blind fold was ripped off my eyes as well as the tape covering my mouth.

I gasped as I hung my head.

I looked up and saw both Akutagawa and Kyouka-chan staring at me, unsure of what to do.

"Hurry up and kill him." I said as they both tensed.

However, Shibusawa moved first, holding a knife over my ribs, angling it so if it were to enter, it would plunge straight through my ribs and into my heart.

I tensed as did Akutagawa and Kyouka-chan, as Shibusawa smiled coyly.

"Attack me, and the girl dies." Shibusawa said as I held my breath.

I watched as both of them wavered, glancing at each other as determination set inside of me.

"Don't listen to him." I grit out as Shibusawa glared at me.

"Our mission is to exterminate Shibusawa." I carried on, ignoring the fear rising in my stomach as Shibusawa's glare turned menacing.

"Save Yokohama and complete the mission." I said as Shibusawa bared his fangs.

"Shut up!" He yelled as he raised his knife and swiped at my face.

I was barely able to move, so when I flinched back, it still cut a thin line across my cheek.

I gasped in pain as I felt like my blood was boiling.

Poison. I thought.

"I won't hesitate to kill the girl." Shibusawa shouted at the two who weren't moving. 

"This knife is laced with poison, even if you do manage to kill me in time, you won't be able to save the girl." Shibusawa said, smirking.

I saw as Akutagawa glanced at Kyouka-chan, both of their eyes meeting as they had a brief conversation.

No. I thought as I could see what they were thinking.

"All right, Shibusawa, you win." Akutagawa said as he disarmed himself, his Demonic Armour disappearing.

"We won't attack, so give me y/n." Akutagawa said as I wanted to scream in rage.

Shibusawa smiled triumphantly.

Shibusawa signalled Akutagawa to walk over slowly, which he did so.

I shook my head slowly as Akutagawa climbed up the broken stairs.

He stood a few feet away from me as Shibusawa laughed.

"Wait." I said as everyone paused.

I made my decision.

I looked up and stared into Akutagawa's steel grey eyes, offering a soft smile.

"Kill him for me, would you?" I asked as Akutagawa's eyes widened in confusion.

"I'm sorry." I whispered as I leant forward... right onto the knife in Shibusawa's hand.

I felt the knife pierce through my skin and hit home as I gasped in pain, poison coursing through my veins.

"No!" Akutagawa cried, but it was too late.

I fell to my knees, coughing as blood ran down my chin.

"Kyouka!" Akutagawa yelled as Demon Snow appeared, sword slashing at Shibusawa.

I watched as Shibusawa dodged, Demon Snow pursuing him further.

"You idiot." Akutagawa muttered as he summoned Rashoumon.

Rashoumon cut through the chains, snapping the shock collar on my neck too.

I winced at the movement as I fell to the side.

Akutagawa caught me before I could hit the ground.

Blood was already blossoming over my clothes as Akutagawa stared at the knife burrowed in my ribs.

"I'm going to have to pull that out." Akutagawa said as I winced, closing my eyes and nodding.

Akutagawa's fingers brushed the hilt making me wince as he paused, staring at me.

"Just do it." I said as Akutagawa nodded and breathed deeply.

It was over in a second as Akutagawa grabbed the knife and pulled it out.

However, the pain lasted much more than a second.

I gasped in pain as my hand immediately pushed against the bloody wound.

My blood felt like it was boiling, and all of a sudden, I felt very hot.

"Go... help Kyouka-chan." I muttered as Akutagawa stared at me, hand brushing my hair out of my face.

Akutagawa looked back at Kyouka-chan, who was struggling to fend Shibusawa off by herself.

Akutagawa cursed as he looked down at me.

"Can you heal yourself? Do you not have your ability?" He asked as I weakly shook my head.

"Something about accepting Moriai-san." I murmured as Akutagawa cursed again.

He sighed as he pulled me close, his forehead touching mine.

"Don't you dare die on me." Akutagawa said as I smiled weakly, chuckling.

However, Akutagawa didn't laugh. "I've only just found you again." He said as I blinked at him.

Akutagawa leaned down, lips crashing into mine as my hands gripped the front of his coat, pulling him close, holding him like it was my last time.

"I won't die." I said as we pulled back.

Akutagawa seemed skeptical but scoffed. "You better not." He said as he lay me down, propping me up against a fallen pillar.

"Hurry up and save Kyouka-chan." I said as Akutagawa nodded, he leapt towards Shibusawa and Demon Snow, looking back over his shoulder to see me.

I offered a small smile as Akutagawa stared at me for another second before rushing towards Shibusawa.

"Rashoumon! Demonic Armour!" Akutagawa said as the cloths wrapped around him.

I sighed, leaning my head against the rock.

"Moriai-san." I whispered as I stared at the red-fog-filled-sky.

"Help me." I said as I blacked down, the sound of clashing, echoing through my mind.
