Chapter 19

I was typing on my computer. I sighed and walked to the hallway. I see Atsushi sitting down on the floor next to the infirmary. He looked deep in thought.

"Hey, Atsushi." I smiled.

He looked up at me.

"I heard from Kunikida about what happened." I sat beside him, "I never thought the Port Mafia would ever use a 14 year old girl like that.." I mumbled.

Atsushi looked back down, "Me neither.."

~Atsushi's Pov:~
"Me neither.." I mumbled.

{Flashback}
"My name is Kyouka Izumi.. I've killed 35 people. I don't want to kill anyone else again, not ever!"
{Flashback Over}
I see L/n pushing up her glasses she was staring at the floor.

"Still attracting trouble, are you?" I heard someone say.

I looked up and saw Kunikida.

"That girl's a lost cause. She's taken a deeper part as an assassin, you know. She's taken out entire organizations, using her appearance to make people lower their guard."

"You don't know what she's been through." L/n looked at Kunikida.

"And neither do you. She accomplished too much too quickly."

"Yeah.. but, isn't the person controlling her ability the one to blame?" I asked him.

"Abilities aren't always gifts to their wielders, you should know that better than most."

~Y/n's Pov:~
"Abilities aren't always gifts to their wielders, you should know that better than most."

Atsushi looked down after he said that.

Suddenly, the door opened. Yosano looked at us, "She's awake."

"Could we ask her a few questions?" Kunikida asked.

"Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem."

~Time Skip~
We were beside Kyouka's bed.

"H-hey.." Atsushi said, "O-oh, you're in the information at the Agency. How are you feeling?"

Kyouka stared at the ceiling.

"Tell me," Kunikida's arms were crossed, "who's behind this?"

Kyouka didn't say anything.

"...I'll buy you food if you answer." I offered.

"Boiled tofu." Kyouka finally spoke.

"Tofu?" Atsushi questioned.

"It's good."

"Alright." I said, "I'll buy you as much tofu as you want, as long as you tell us everything you know."

"Hey, are you crazy?" Kunikida gave me a concerned look.

"Whenever a kid can't talk, give them food."

~Time Skip~
We were at a nice restaurant. We were on our knees in front of a table.  Kyouka was to my left, Kunikida was across from me and Atsushi was beside Kunikida.

Kyouka was eating tofu. I smiled and sipped my water.

"O-oh, by the way," Atsushi said, "where's Finch?"

"Oh, he's not out right now." I put my cup down, "I'll probably summon him later."

"Now," Kunikida said, "tell us what you know."

"After my parents passed away, I was alone and then the Port Mafia took me in." Kyouka told us, "They wanted my special ability, Demon Snow. It follows commands through a phone."

"This is the phone, correct?" Kunikida put a flip phone on the table. "Don't worry, I took out the batteries. There goal from the beginning was to turn into an assassin."

"Wait, I don't understand.." Atsushi said, "Why didn't you just drop the phone."

Kyouka grabbed the phone from the table and held it, "They would've killed me. Besides, even if I did leave the Port Mafia, I would have nowhere else to go."

"Who was the man manipulate Demon Snow through the phone?" Kunikida asked.

"A man called Akutagawa."

Atsushi's eyes widened.

"I see.." Kunikida stood up, "I'll report this to the Agency. C'mon, L/n."

I stood up as well.

"And you." Kunikida looked at Atsushi.

~Time Skip~
We were in the hallway of the restaurant.

"Turn her into the police." Kunikida told Atsushi.

"But she'll.."

"She'll be put to death with a kill count of 35. And the Port Mafia will execute her for treason."

"But-"

"What? You'll save her?" Kunikida looked at him, "A fugitive from justice and a traitor of the Port Mafia, is that really who you want to protect?"

Atsushi looked shocked. "But then..."

"Listen, I'm not saying you shouldn't sympathize with her situation, but you only have room for one on your boat. If you become overwhelmed, you both will sink." He began walking away.

I looked at Atsushi. "...Go with what you think is best for everyone.." I mumbled and gave him a reassuring smile. I followed Kunikida.

~Time Skip~
Me and Kunikida were walking down Yokohama.

"..Don't you think it's a bit cruel to kill her?" I looked at Kunikida.

"Don't tell me your on Atsushi's side.. Do you really want to protect someone like that? She's killed 35 people."

"Oh, trust me. I know people who've done worse and they got off the hook." I looked ahead. "I'm just saying, we don't know what exactly that girl went through. She could be traumatized or manipulated. We don't know."

Kunikida sighed again, "This discussion over this topic is over."

I glared at him from the corner of my eyes and looked back ahead.
