Blood For Blood -- Demon Dazai X reader [Book 2]

Chapter 8

As (Name) proposed an alliance to Akutagawa, Dazai observed the exchange with an air of indifference. His wife's sudden shift from a hostile stance to alliance negotiations puzzled him, but he couldn't deny that it piqued his curiosity.

"What can a mere girl like yourself offer me?" Akutagawa asked with disdain, his eyes darting between (Name) and Dazai.

(Name) wore a sly smirk, her (eye color) eyes now an eerie shade of green. She reveled in the anticipation of her next move. "I don't know," she shrugged, deliberately maintaining eye contact with Akutagawa, "Maybe to see Dazai on his knees, begging for forgiveness?" Her words hung in the air, heavy with the promise of revenge.

Dazai raised an eyebrow at her audacity. He had witnessed (Name) in various states of emotion, but this newfound determination to take him down was something he hadn't expected. However, he remained calm, not revealing his own thoughts.

Akutagawa glanced nervously at Dazai, sensing the tension in the room. He knew better than to underestimate (Name), especially in her current state. She had something planned, something that could potentially turn the tables on Dazai.

(Name) continued, her voice dripping with confidence, "Because I am the only one alive who can make Osamu wish he hadn't been born." Her words sent a shiver down Akutagawa's spine, and he swallowed hard.

Dazai couldn't deny the truth in her words. If anyone could unravel his carefully constructed facade and expose his vulnerabilities, it was (Name). But what troubled him more was that she was not herself, and her abilities were under Fyodor's control.

"Enough of this," Dazai finally spoke up, breaking the tense silence that had settled in. "Akutagawa, we need to find Fyodor and release (Name) from his control."

Akutagawa nodded, his earlier curiosity replaced by a determination to fulfill his mission. "Agreed, but be warned, Dazai, if you stand in our way, I won't hesitate to take you down as well."

Dazai understood the gravity of the situation. He had no intention of opposing their alliance, not when (Name) was a pawn in Fyodor's hands, and not when his past seemed to haunt him in the form of enemies seeking revenge.

Leaving (Name) and Akutagawa behind, Dazai ventured deeper into the abandoned hospital, his eyes scanning the dimly lit corridors. He knew he had to confront Fyodor, to put an end to this dangerous game once and for all.

In a secluded room, Dazai finally found Fyodor standing there, his enigmatic smile sending shivers down anyone's spine. The two former enemies faced each other, neither showing a hint of fear or hesitation.

"Fyodor," Dazai said, his voice laced with a mix of anger and determination, "It's time we settle this."

Fyodor chuckled softly, his eyes never leaving Dazai's. "Oh, Osamu, you always did have a flair for the dramatic. But you're right, it's time."

As Dazai and Fyodor began their intense conversation, the fate of (Name) hung in the balance. The ties that bound them all were about to be tested, and the true extent of Fyodor's control over her would soon be revealed.

Dazai and Fyodor stood facing each other in the dimly lit room of the abandoned hospital. The air was thick with tension, but the two men shared a history that was as twisted as it was dark.

Fyodor, ever the enigmatic one, couldn't help but chuckle softly at Dazai's dramatic statement. "Oh, Osamu, you always did have a flair for the dramatic. But you're right, it's time."

Dazai raised an eyebrow, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Well, Fyodor, I thought it's only fair to meet you in an appropriately dramatic setting, considering our history."

Fyodor's lips curled into a wicked smile. "Indeed, Osamu, our history is quite... colorful. But let's not dwell on the past when we have such an intriguing present."

Dazai's eyes narrowed as he took a step closer to Fyodor. "Enough games, Fyodor. Release (Name) from your control. You've had your fun."

Fyodor's laughter echoed through the room, sending eerie chills down Dazai's spine. "Oh, Osamu, you always were a buzzkill. But I'm afraid I can't comply with your request. (Name) is far too valuable to me now."

Dazai's patience was wearing thin, and his dark sense of humor began to surface. "Valuable? I hope you're not planning to auction her off to the highest bidder. Although, I must admit, I'd be quite curious to see the going rate for a mind-controlling wife these days."

Fyodor's smile didn't waver, but his eyes gleamed with a hint of amusement. "Ah, Osamu, you never fail to entertain. But you underestimate (Name)'s potential. She possesses abilities that could tip the balance of power in our world."

Dazai couldn't help but smirk in response. "Ah, Fyodor, always the ambitious one. But do you really think she'll willingly serve as your pawn forever? Love and loyalty can be quite unpredictable, my friend."

The room seemed to grow colder as their banter continued. Both men were aware of the gravity of the situation, yet they couldn't resist the dark humor that had always characterized their interactions.

Fyodor leaned in closer to Dazai, their faces mere inches apart. "Osamu, my dear, I assure you, (Name) and I have a unique understanding. She knows what's best for her."

Dazai's eyes bore into Fyodor's, his tone laced with a mix of warning and amusement. "Fyodor, you always did have a way with words. But let me make one thing clear: I will do whatever it takes to free (Name) from your control, no matter the cost."

The two enemies locked gazes, the tension in the room escalating to dangerous levels. As they prepared for the impending showdown, the dark humor that had colored their conversation served as a stark reminder that, in their world, even the gravest of threats couldn't stifle their wit and sarcasm.
