On The Run (Soukoku)

-Chapter 10-

As Isamu pointed her gun at Dazai, Hiroshi standing protectively in front of Chuuya. She exclaimed, raging, "Don't try to trick my son, you-" Before Isamu could continue her sentence, Dazai was already behind her and aiming for Hiroshi he brandished his dagger once again. Hiroshi took his stance as Dazai kept on running towards too him. Dazai's assassination plan failed as Chuuya stood in front of his father, his arms stretched out. Dazai screeched to a halt, before coming face to face with Chuuya. Chuuya gave him a questioning look as he opened his mouth to say something by was cut off by Isamu. "Chuuya! Get away from that man, he's a murderer!" Chuuya's arms fell to his sides as he started Dazai who was glancing away. Before he had time to process what his own mother said, his father pulled him away by his arm. Isamu joining them afterwards. "Follow us Chuuya, we'll get to the next town without...him" Isamu gave Dazai a glare before placing her hand onto Chuuya's shoulder, giving him a demanding look. Chuuya glanced back at the brunette as Dazai's hand was raised slightly, like he wanted to say something but his hand fell back down as he looked down at the forest ground. Chuuya didn't even hesitate as he snatched his hand back from his father and rushed forward to Dazai. "Even so, he won't hurt me, right?" he looked at Dazai expectantly. Dazai looked up at the determined ginger in front of him and nodded. Chuuya knew better, if Dazai did really wanted to hurt him, he would have done it a long time. They were alone the whole time, people thought they were done, there was always a opportunity for Dazai. "I never wanted to be a murderer, so I won't ever hurt Chuuya." Chuuya smiled as he look at his stunned parents. However, it would take more than that to convince them that a murderer won't their son. They outstretched their hands as Isamu announced rather confidently that everything will happen their way. "Chuuya come with us, we won't go with that guy." Dazai got anxious as Chuuya walked towards his parents. He should have never got his hopes up, Chuuya trusted his parents more than him obviously. As Chuuya towards his parents, he stretched out his hands and did the unbelievable, he flapped his own mother's hand away and glared at them, "I rather go with the murderer then..." With that he turned away from his wide-eyed parents who were calling out to him. However, Chuuya blocked them. Their words not reading him as he took Dazai who was as stunned as Chuuya's parents by his hand and dragged them a few meters away from Chuuya's before letting go and giving Dazai a small smile which Dazai returned immediately. Chuuya's parents were utterly shocked, both stood rooted to the ground. Their son rather go with a murderer than with them? Now, both parents really regretted their decision of wanting to sell their own son.
