The Devil's Poison (Akutagawa X Reader)

Chapter 4/ New Living Arrangements

"Greetings Mori." Akutagawa said, moving in a slight bow of respect.

You looked up at him before looking ahead at the new man. You didn't know what to think, or what to do.

Were they going to kill you? Keep you hostage? Torture you? You kept thinking to yourself.

"What do we have here?" Mori said, his eyebrows raising as he looked down at you.

"They were spying on me and Tachihara sir, supposedly over some bag that Tachihara had stolen from them on his way." Akutagawa said, an annoyed sigh escaping his lips.

"I wasn't spying! I just wanted my bag you jerk!" You said, struggling in your bonds.

The other man looked back at you, his face turning into a look of sincere guilt.

Odd you thought.

"I am so sorry for the inconveniences! My men can be a bit of a hassel sometimes!" He said, a nervous chuckle following suit.

For a Port Mafia leader this man acts so? Awkward? Is that how you'd put it?" You thought to yourself again.

"Uh... It's....okay?" You spoke hesitantly, confused how to even respond to this situation.

"You're very much welcome! Now, akutagawa!" Mori said, his gaze shifting to the other man. "We still can't risk them possibly being a... spy, like you said, so we're going to have to keep them here for awhile, and since someone needs to watch over them, you might as well be the one to do it."

Akutagawa's eyes widened. He wanted to make sure you didn't get away just to snitch if you actually were a spy, but he also didn't want to deal with you anymore then he already has to as well.

"What?! Sir I already went through all this trouble to get them here, not to mention I don't have the time to deal with some shrimp! I have far more important things to do for the Mafia!" He protested, his Rashomon tightening around you in annoyance.

"H-hey- watch it man! You're acting like I want to be around you too!" You spit out, trying your best to fight against the squeezing of the man's ability.

Akutagawa turned to retaliate before he was interrupted by Mori. Causing him to freeze in his tracks.

"Which is even better, you know the best way to deal with them then, don't you." He replied, a small smirk on the man's face as his hands came out from behind his back to shrug. "And as for work, I'll be sure to change your schedule to accommodate your new job."

Akutagawa growled at this, his annoyance at you growing. "Alright sir, I'll do my best."

"Good good! Now bring them down to the captive hall and get them settled in, make sure they are as comfortable as possible now.~" Mori said as he motioned us out of the room.

You looked up at Akutagawa, noticing the tension on his face as he fought to keep his composure. The man now starting to leave the room, his Rashomon dragging you along with him.

"Hey come on!! At least let me get up first!" You shouted, trying to scramble up to your feet. The Rashomon wrapping around you making it difficult.

Akutagawa noticed, causing him to stop so you could stand, only because your struggling was slowing him down while also annoying him.

You quickly stood, your gaze falling over the man. "Why thank you kind gentleman." You said sarcastically.

"Tch" is all you got out of the man as he continued walking again, determined to not waste anymore time with you.

You eventually made it to your new living quarters for the time being. You didn't bother fighting because compared to this entire organization you'd just get killed. Besides they didn't say they would hurt you, but was just testing to see if you were a spy so you might as well comply.

And since I'm not one I'll be fine, right? You thought to yourself, deciding to just play along and hope they let you go soon.

"Get in." Akutagawa said, releasing you from his ability so you could walk into your room.

You did as you were told, a sigh escaping your lips as you looked back at the man. "When will I get out of here?"

"Whenever the boss says you can, if you don't give us a reason to kill you first."

You just looked at him, your gaze confusing to the man.

Why weren't you fighting back, or begging to be let go? You had a useful ability so what was stopping you? He thought to himself.

"Okay then." Is all you said back to him.

Akutagawa let out another tch, his eyes rolling as he put his hands in his pockets. "Just know I may be ordered to watch over you, but I'm not going to be nice."

"Didn't figure you would be."

"Good, glad we're on the same page." He said curtly, turning to leave the room. The door closing behind him.

You sighed out, starting to tear up at your situation. Finally letting the stress get to you.

How, why did this happen, why does that stupid man keep screwing things over.

You tried looking around your room, trying to see if there was any way of escape, or any way to hide possible tools to aid you in case things went south.

Of course the mafia would have thought of every possibility so there was nothing useful you could find.

Instead all you noticed was that for a cruel group, they did make sure you didn't go without.

You had an actual bed in said "cell". Though it wasn't anything amazing it could have been nothing. Along with that a personal bathroom was connected to the room as well.

The room is decently decorated as well. Am I supposed to be a prisoner or a tenate. You thought to yourself.

None the less you were now laying on your given bed, using the blankets to cover yourself up to keep warm. You decided to sleep now and worry about what to do tomorrow.

You mean that's all you really could do anyway.

So just like that you were out, the day ending leaving a new challenge for you to deal with tomorrow.
