When flowers bloom (Ranpo x reader)

The cube

Ranpo's POV:

I was walking nervously back and forth, waiting for the others as the plan was already in submission. We have already thought of a plan and just hope it works. I haven't eaten a single snack since after meeting Mr fancy hat. My stomach is too nervous for food, what a pain. An even bigger pain is that Y/N is on the edge of death right now...

Atsushi's POV:

I do hope Y/N is alright; and Ranpo too. He's been worried sick about Y/N and hasn't been like his usual self. I thought he'd be more relaxed and stuff since Y/N is just his co-worker but then Ranpo and Y/N have been showing some sort of affection towards one another. Their little relationship is cute, I have to admit.

"Alright, Kenji. Ranpo said there will be a ability user, serving us some sort of drinks. The ability user won't know us or our own abilities so it'll be a surprise attack." I informed Kenji, making sure he understood the plan.

"Got it! Y/N is such a nice person, she helps me with the vegetable garden!" Kenji exclaimed. I don't get why he'd put in a compliment about Y/N randomly but Kenji is Kenji and I can't blame him for just being nice.

"Yeah she is. She helped me with a few cases." I replied. Our conversation was put to a hold as a deafening whistle blew. The train was here. Our mission is now getting into action. I signal to Kenji that this is where we get on. 

We both hopped on and passed our ticket to the employee. he eyed us in a suspicious way. Surely he didn't know who we are...at least I hope he doesn't. We went to one of the chairs, a bit up front but not too close. Kenji and I started chatting about his hometown, keeping the conversation as normal as possible.

"Excuse me gentlemen, but perhaps you'd like to see a small magic trick?" the employee asked as he stood in front of us. I kept my guard up, praying Kenji was too. It was hard to tell when he was always smiling and the fact his face barely ever changes.

The employee reached into his pocket, fetching out a small cube. We both look at it curiously. Was this some miniature bomb? Something to do with his ability?

"What's this little box? These look like the little wooden crates I had back in my village! Only tinier!" Kenji exclaimed, eyeing the cube with fascination. In exchange, the employee smirked as a luminous green glow emitted from the cubed object. 

The cube started expanding and unfolding, getting larger with each unfold. My mouth was left agape when he held a bat with sharp little spikes.

"Kenji watch out!" I yelled.

'Wham!'

It was too late. The gifted user swung the bat in the air and swung it at Kenji's head. The force of the swing sent me out of my seat, he must be strong. I look over too Kenji as I stood up. Kenji slowly got up and scratched his head, the only injuries he had was that his head was bleeding from the spikes that scratched him.

"You have a very strong swing sir...but it felt like a small bump to me." Kenji said, getting up and smiling. Sometimes I forget Kenji has an ability and the forceful hits feel like a gentle bump.

We were on each of his side, taking our stance. His ability has something to do with maybe manipulating the physical shape of objects? I'm not too sure.

"You're probably after Y/N right? She's with the boss right now, come back for her later," he said.

"We won't give up that easily!" I yelled, activating my own ability and lunging towards him with tiger claws. 

He put out his hand as a makeshift wall was created from the side of the train walls and windows. My fist pounded against the steel wall as I let out a little yelp from the pain it sent through my body.

"My ability let's me control unalive objects that I have touched." He started off, undoing the wall to see me getting up.

"I don't think you'll be able to save Y/N."

A/N ASHSHSHS I HAD A MASSIVE WRITINGS BLOCK FOR THE PAST WEEK AND HAVE BEEN OVERLOADED WITH STUDIES. But this book would probably have what, like 6 more chapters left till it is finish. idk.
