Chapter 15

Previously on Chapter 14

"He's going to be fine, Y/N..." he whispered softly. I just nod my head. I feel a soft kiss on the side of my head. "I sure hope so" I mumbled. He caressed my hair softly, trying his best to calm me down. God... please don't let anything bad happen to my best-friend.

-Rescuing Mission-

Y/N P.O.V

We are all heading towards the mall, where Fiend With Twenty One face held Hanasaki captive. I sit next to Yoshio. His hand holding mine, as an attempt to give me a sense of comfort. I lean my head on his shoulder as neither of us said a word along the way there.

It didn't take long until we've finally arrived there. I can hear screaming coming from within the mall. I can feel my heart beating in worry. Something wrong is happening in there.

"Kobayashi. You can go ahead and see what happen in there" Inoue-Nii said. I turn my head to look at Yoshio. He turns to look at me, noticing the worried expression on my face. He give my hand a gentle squeeze and a soft kiss on my forehead.

"I will be fine..." he said. I reluctantly nod my head and let his hand go. He smiles reassuringly at me. He turns around and make his way inside the mall. I lean my back against the car, waiting for the sound of the gun to stop.

After the gunshot finally stops, we make our way inside. I rush towards Yoshio, throwing my arms around his neck. He wraps his arms around my waist. I bury my face in the crook of his neck.

"I'm so glad... you're alright. I was so worried" I said, pulling away slightly to look at him. He smiles and cups the side of my cheek, placing a soft kiss on my cheek.

"I told you I'd be fine" he said. I smile softly at him. I pull him into another hug. I flinched when people starts shooting at us. Yoshio pulls me closer, making his shield surrounds the two of us. I look around in confusion, why are they shooting at us??

"Y/N. Let's go and search for Hanasaki" he said, turning to look at me. I nod my head in agreement. He grabs my hand and starts pulling me along. I clench my free hand into tight fist. The Fiend With Twenty One Faces have a strong grip on Hanasaki's hair, as he cries.

"Let him go!!" I yelled. He turn to look at me and smirk at the sight of me. "Well well well~ if it isn't Kogoro's precious little sister. I've heard so much about you..." he said. The way he smirks at me makes chill runs down my spine. It reminds me of the way those bad people would stare at me.

Hanasaki stare at the two of us with tears in his eyes. I can see a sign of regret in reflecting in them. He stands up and smiles sadly at us. He walk towards the railing and jumps off. Yoshio runs forward and jumps along with him. I rush forward and stare down. I let out a sigh of relief when they manage to land safely.

Yoshio pours something into the pond, making smoke start spreading around the area. I start to feel a sleepy from the smoke. I fall on the ground and close my eyes, letting myself drift off to sleep.

I slowly open my eyes, realizing I'm laying on Yoshio's lap. He notices me awake and smiles softly. He runs his hand through my hair gently, playing with a few strands as he stares at me with a loving gaze.

"Feeling okay?" He asked. I just smile and nod my head. I move to sit up and stretch my body. I turn my head just in time to see Yoshio yawning. "Tired?" I asked. He nods his head.

"Yeah, I'm a little tired... but I want to look after you. Shall we head back?" He said. I nod my head. He stands up and offers a hand to me. I grab his hand, allowing him to pull me up to my feet. We start walking hand in hand. I notice Hanasaki walking towards us.

"I-I'm sorry..." he said. Yoshio just stares at him with a cold expression. "Just hurry up and kill me..." he said. I frown at what he said. He gently tug my hand, wanting to leave the place.

He take out an apple with his free hand and take a bite. I just look down as we keep walking. I notice Hanasaki's father and butler running passed us, heading towards the raven head. I turn to look over my shoulder as they run up to him. Hanasaki's kneeling on the ground as he cries. I feel bad for him... but, also upset.

I turn to look at Yoshio as he munch on the apple. He turn to look at me and offers the apple. I just shake my head. I feel a little sad that Yoshio still thinks about dying. I look down with a deep frown on my face.

"Why are you frowning?" He asked. I turn my head to look at him. "You... still think about dying?" I asked. He just look away from me. I feel tears in my eyes as I stop walking. He turn to face me as I look down.

"I thought you're over that by now, Yoshio. I thought you won't still think of dying or leaving me. But... turns out you still prefer to die than being with me" I said, staring at my feet.

"Y/N... that's not-" he tried to say. I shake my head and look up at him with tears in my eyes. "That's exactly what it is! I thought you're finally able to let go of the thought of dying for me! I thought... that you would want to live your life with me and for us to grow together. B-But... i-it's clear that y-you'd m-much p-prefer to l-leave me" I said, my voice cracking towards the end.

"Y/N..." he said. He tries to hold me. I take a step away from him, as tears streams down my cheeks. I turn around and runs away. I can hear Yoshio's voice calling out for me. But I just keep running as tears slowly streams down my cheeks.

Yoshio... I love you. I truly do. So it's painful for me to know that he prefers to find a way to die, than be with me. How could you think that way? Do I mean anything to you?
