Stay With Me (Kobayashi Yoshio X Reader)

Chapter 20

Previously on Chapter 19

My eyes starts to feel droopy. I start to feel sleepier. So I just close my eyes. "Sleep well, love..." he whispered in a gentle voice, luring me deeper. My lips twitch into a soft smile as I drift off to sleep.

-Guarding Mission-

Y/N P.O.V

Inoue-Nii told us that we are requested for a guarding mission. We'll be guarding a man name Fukiya. He's a death row prisoner. There are some people who wants to kill him because apparently he did some psychological experiments on children. Some even causes death.

I just stare at the man name Fukiya, while sitting next to Yoshio. I notice the way he's staring at the two of us. The look in his eyes makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I bit my lips nervously and scooted closer to Yoshio.

"Is everything okay?" He whispered, noticing the look of discomfort on my face. I turn to look at him and nod my head. He looks unconvinced, but didn't try to make me talk. I just continue to avoid the man's gaze.

"Tell me... are you both dating?" Fukiya asked. I turn my head to see him staring at Yoshio and I. I shift my gaze to Yoshio who seem uninterested in talking to him. But he nods his head to his question anyway.

He ended up telling us that he wants us to play a game. I just stay silent as I stare at him, wondering what's on his mind and what's he's planning to do. But knowing what his crimes was... the reason behind his request must be bad.

Nakamura-San eventually grew irritated as Fukiya keeps talking to us. She told him to shut up, but he ignores her and keeps trying to get us to talk to him. I just turn my head away, turning to Yoshio. He also looks irritated by Fukiya's nosy attitude.

Suddenly, the whole truck is jerks to the side. Yoshio quickly wraps his arms around me as an attempt to shield me from any impact that might hurt me. Even though he's aware that I'm a fast healer.

Nakamura-San instantly conclude that there are a group of people here to kill Fukiya. So all of us decided to run towards an abandoned building until back ups comes to help us. The abandoned building in which Yoshio was staying at before me and Hanasaki found him.

As we walk up the stairs, Fukiya suddenly sits down. No matter how much Nakamura-San demanded him to walk, he refuses. He said he'd only walk if Yoshio and I agree to play his game. Yoshio and I turn to look at each other. We're both aware that we have no choice. So in the end, we agree to play along.

The game he asked us to play turns out is just question games. I hear footsteps coming towards us. I turn to look over the stairs, only to get grazed by a bullet on my right cheek. I let out a yelp in fright. The wound on my cheek instantly heals.

"That is quite interesting... so, did you had it since birth or did you developed it?" Fukiya asked, while staring at me. I turn my head away. "I'm not sure. I found out about my power when I was a kid... when I was trying to safe an injured owl" I said. He hums at what I said. I hate how he looks so intrigued. Yoshio steps up to stand in front of me, shielding me from Fukiya's view.

"Hmm... quite the protective type, are you?" He said, in amusement. Yoshio just clicked his tongue in annoyance at what he said, while Nakamura-San demands that he start walking. He let out a sigh and starts walking again. But he keeps going with the game.

Suddenly, the roof above us breaks as we walk down the corridor. Yoshio's shield activates to cover the two of us, protecting us from the falling debris. The sight makes Fukiya looks even more intrigued.

"Quite a unique pair, aren't you?" He said. He starts to talk about how most kids would developed something like a defensive trait. But Yoshio's is the first one he had ever seen.

After a while of walking, we ended up in a hall. There's a huge hole on the ground. Yoshio explains that it was his doing a while ago, when he tried to kill himself. I feel my heart tightens at what he said.

We ended up getting cornered when people comes and surrounds us. I stand in front of everyone to protect them. I focus on my second power, which is the reverse effect. The people starts shooting at me. All the wounds on my body heals and starts forming on theirs. They drop on the ground in a weakened state.

My vision blurred as I start to feel exhausted. I can't keep this up for too long. I start to fall forward, but someone catches me before I fall over. I turn my head to see it's Hanasaki.

"Hanasaki..." I said. He looks a little relieved that I'm alright. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me closer to him. My eyes widened in shock as Hanasaki plants a kiss on my lips. I just froze in my spot, not knowing what to do.

I quickly push him away. I turn to look at Yoshio to see him looking at me with a hurt expression. "Yoshio..." I said. I try to walk closer to him, but the shield around him activate, forbidding me to come any closer to him. My eyes widened at what happened.

I notice movement from my peripheral view. I turn my head, noticing a woman standing at a fair distance from us. She takes off her helmet to reveal her face. I notice the tears flowing down her cheeks. It turns out she's a mother of a little girl that became Fukiya's victim. He have his gun aimed at me and Hanasaki.

"Die you monster!!" She yelled out. She fire the gun. My eyes widened in horror when Yoshio jumps in front of us. His shield didn't activate, which makes him take the hit of the bullet. He drops on the ground. He places his hand on his lower abdomen. When he pulls his hand away, there's blood on his hand. I watch in horror at the sight.

What's happening? His shield is suppose to protect him from danger! Why didn't it activate to protect him from that shot. I try to come closer but the shield activated on me again.

I watch as Yoshio moves to stand up. He walks towards a curtain, and rips it from the window. He falls forward and starts to cry in pain while clutching onto his shot wound.

Yoshio...
