fᎪmᎥᏞᎽ [Kaedehara Kazuha x Reader]

Chapter 25

You returned home to find Kazuha was gone. No one knew where he'd gone. The work of the Resistance had been put on hold for the same. It seemed that the Shogunate would win the festival this time. Ayaka and Gorou had apparently started dating, and the silver haired girl was always constantly accompanying him.

"I feel deeply sorry for whatever has occurred. My group does it only for fame, so I wished that the Resistance would win. But it seems like your main script producer has gone missing. My condolences." Makoto, the leader of the Shogunate, bowed as she spoke politely, in a sympathising manner before turning to leave.

"I can make the script." you offered. Kokomi whipped her head towards you fiercely and shook her head.

"I'm sorry. I can't accept what you did. You don't even feel pain that he's gone." Kokomi whispered sadly as she sat down on a chair. The disapproving look on her face made your heart sting.

"He lied to me." was all you could muster. Everyone liked to blame you for Kazuha's disappearance. It was his choice or some criminal's fault. Not yours. Aether wrapped an arm around your shoulder protectively and comfortingly as Gorou, Kokomi, Ayaka, Timaeus and Donna glared at you with icy expressions.

Was your being lied to, was Kazuha's lying to you about your love life, all your fault? Were you that terrible? You refused to believe that.

"Lets leave." Aether whispered into your ear, and you nodded as you followed him out of the door, and away from the stifling atmosphere of that room.

You stepped out of the school, on your way back home, when you felt Aether grab onto your wrist tightly. So much so that it hurt.

"Aether?!" you yelled in confusion as he pinned you in place. Two strong looking men emerged from behind him and held either of your arms.

"Let her go." your father materialised in front of your eyes. What was he doing here?! He was supposed to be in England!

"Dad?!" you looked at your father and then back to Aether in confusion.

"Let me tell you the truth." Aether's glowing golden eyes almost scared you now as he stared right into your soul. "Your father was right here all along. Protecting the secret fortune of your family. Till now, I wasn't able to get my hands on you because of him and Kazuha, who was always with you. But now, I do. And he's here to give it to me." he chuckled as he jerked your chin sideways roughly, which hurt your jawbone.

"Just let her go." your father pleaded, handing over a sleek black suitcase to Aether.

"Sure." as soon as Aether spoke the words, you were violently hurled towards your father.

"What about Kazuha?" your father breathed. Aether just smiled.

"He's at home." was all Aether said before he left.

Kazuha was at home. Which could mean only one thing.
