The Traitor

Len's P.O.V.

"Kamui, are you absolutely sure it was the Eros? We don't want to just bust 'em up over false statements!"

"For the hundredth time: yes! I'm sure of it, Gumi. They wore their stupid white masks! They took aim at both [_____] and me. Go ahead and take a look at her! This poor kid's got all sorts of injuries that match their previous attacks. I'm not sure if [_____] saw any of them, but I... I tried shielding her from them. We were out in the northeastern side of the forest, but they still felt too close to the base."

I sat before them, staring at my hands with almost no conviction as Gakupo and Gumi went back and forth in my office. Their voices echoed through halls, shaking the house apart, but all I could really hear was abysmal shouting. For the first time in so long, I felt drained. Numb. I lacked the strength to even shut them up; listening to their endless bickering. Everything from my breakup to having both [_____] and Gakupo hurt... that day spiraled out of control.

"Hey, could you guys go to your rooms for this?" I finally managed to find my voice. Although my tone was halfhearted.

"I'd've expected you to have an input on this." Gumi stated as she crossed her arms. She took one look at my posture and realized I wasn't myself.

"You not feeling well?"

"I'm just fine, thank you. As for now, I'll keep thinking of solutions and when I have the necessary resources, I'll track you guys down to help me. As Gumi said, I don't want to go up to them with false evidence. But I don't want to rule out the possibility of these Eros fuckers out there. That area is still part of our territory; we claimed it last year."

Gakupo took notice of the distance in my voice and ushered Gumi towards the door.

"We'll try and keep quiet," he whispered over his shoulder before closing the door. Even after they left, I could hear their quieted voices still engaged in deep argument. Finally the two were out of earshot and it gave me some peace but not a whole lot. No matter what I did, I felt like shit. I couldn't dislodge this anxiety out of my chest. I felt awful for allowing this on my watch. I assumed full responsibility of her-promising everything would be safe without the commitment to what a gang would entail-and this... this is what happens when you mix bystanders and gangs.

My fight with Neru before all this didn't go so well either. Everything shattered before my eyes and I don't know if I'll ever be able to piece it back together.

Neru stormed off as I followed after her angrily. She barely made her way down the hall when I grabbed at her wrist and pulled her into one of the rooms. I spun her around to face me and kept my back pressed to the door.

"Mind letting me go?" she asked indifferently, holding up her right arm that had my hand attached to her wrist. God, I hated when she'd act like that.

"Mind telling me what the fuck just happened in there?"

She rolled her eyes, her gaze meeting my furrowed brow, "She needed to learn."

"Learn what? Neru, you can't treat people like that! She didn't do anything to hurt you and yet you just attack her?!" I let go of her wrist as I flung my hands into the air, "I knew you had a jealous streak and I found it endearing when you would cozy up on my arm, but you've taken it too far. You can't just hurt people like that."
