Emotionless Red

Chapter 13

Road's POV:

'Oh my god, Red is still holding my hand. Could it be that he has his emotions back and he loves me...Oh, please let that be true, I can't stand seeing him hurt and I want him to return my feelings.'

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Red let go of my hand and headed towards the bathroom. I sat on the bed, staring at him as he closed the bathroom door. I was squealing in my head like a fan girl on drugs, I jumped up on the bed and started laughing like a mad person.

I stopped when I heard the door creak open, I looked over in the direction and my face heated up. Red came out only wearing a towel, his urban hair wet and droplets dripping to the floor, his scar on his arms and chest stood out on his pale porcelain skin, his mercury eyes glowed the slightest, to sum it up he was beautiful...

"What are you staring at Road?" His voice had the slightest musical under tone.

"Oh....um....nothing..." My eyes were glued onto Red and I couldn't take them off him.

Red started to fidget under my gaze; he turned around, walked over to his dresser, grabbed some clothes and disappeared back into the bathroom, my gaze not once leaving him. I sighed and thought. 'Why do I have to love you so much Red?'

Red's POV:

'Why was Road staring at me? Is it that she finds me a monster like everyone else?' My chest seems to ach when I thought like that. 'Why does my chest ach...what is this I'm feeling...'

I sighed as I looked at me scared chest in the mirror, a frown was on my face as I slid on my white long sleeve. I walked out of the bathroom the frown still on my face, Road was sitting on my bed in a daze looking at the wall. I walked over to her and tapped on her arm, she looked at me, her checks slightly painted a pink colour.

"We have to go to the dining room soon." She nodded her head, jumped off the bed and walked over to the door.

Once we arrived at the dining hall, I pushed the doors open letting Road walk through first. I walked over to my seat next to the Earl's and Road's. I sat down as soon as the Earl walked into the room, his everlasting grin wide with joy. He sat down at the head of the table, clearing his throat.

"Good evening my precious family. As you can see Red has awoken and is looking better. Red will be going with Tyki on his hit list, for training and to make sure Tyki does not slack off while doing his job..." The Earl's eye narrowed at the Third, paling the slightest. "And Red remember they can't know that you have innocence so do whatever needed to keep it that way and try you best to hide your appearance...You may be need to get more information from the Order."

I inclined my head as the Earl finished speaking, him beckoning the Akumas to place the food on the table. We all started to eat, Skin killing an akuma made when he was served mash potato instead of ice-cream, the twins doing. I picked at my food not really hungry and that was something different because I'm always hungry, I stared at my plate, not noticing that Tyki was talking to me.

"-ounen...Shounen...You in there?" I looked up as Tyki poked me in the forehead, I narrowed my eyes slightly. "Why aren't you eating? You're not one to not eat food."

"I don't feel like eating..." I looked to the side as Tyki continued to stare, his eyes slightly wide.

"Wha... You.....Not hungry." Tyki couldn't finish his sentences from near shock when I said 'I didn't feel like eating'. I rolled my eyes and continued to stab my food; I looked at Road, who was eating ice-cream with a grin on her face. 'I wonder what she's thinking about.'

I stopped stabbing my food when Tyki stood up; he called my name and said to follow him. We bid the Earl 'farewell' and left to go on our mission, which happen to involve an akuma not taking orders from the Earl.

~Time Skip~

We arrived in front of an old creepy looking castle, I shiver as I felt like I was being watched from the shadows. I looked down making the crimson cloak shroud my face in darkness; I followed Tyki as he entered the castle, meaning he walked straight through the bloody wall, making me climb over it.

We opened the door only for there to be an explosion on the other side of the castle. Tyki and I looked at each other as I shadowed him to the fight, making sure to stay hidden and in the shadows. We arrived to see a woman helping a vampire-ish looking girl, the girl being an Akuma. There were two exorcists, the same samurai known as Kanda and a new red head, who had a giant hammer resting on his shoulder.

'Isn't that heavy?' I thought as I saw the red head standing there casually standing there with the hammer on his shoulder. "Kory, come with us. You're an exorcist." The red head shouted at the vampire looking guy, now known as Kory.

Kory just moved closer to the Akuma, Eliad, if I'm correct, she's the akuma disobeying orders. I moved closer, Tyki not stopping me as he smoked further back in the shadows. I jumped off the ledge; we were standing on and landing behind the akuma.

Everyone turned to look at me, Kanda's face full of shock. "What....You are supposed to be dead? I stabbed you in the chest! That sort of wound should have killed you!"

My eyes flash with rage; I close my fists and take a deep breath. "Well, looks like you didn't do a good job, Kanda."
