Stay With Me (Kobayashi Yoshio X Reader)

Chapter 26

Previously on Chapter 25

I know why Hanasaki reacted this way. Just like me... he is also in love with Y/N. But of course, he doesn't love her as much as I do. Y/N is my life... she's the reason I can feel affection. The first person that could come close to me. Without her... I'd be so lost.

I need to save her...

-That's Not True!-

Y/N P.O.V

I walk towards a spot. I look around the place, wondering what should I do to gain the Fiend With Twenty faces's attention. I'm not even sure where his base is located. I let out a huff.

"Okay... here I am! All alone! Where the hell are you?!" I yelled out, at nothing in particular while hoping that he might somehow hear me. Wherever he is right now. I just want him to release Nii-Chan.

I hear laughter coming from behind me. I turn around and there he is, standing across from me. He walks towards me. It took every fiber in my body to not turn around and dash off. I stand my ground and stare at him, putting a brave face on.

"Let Nii-Chan go! You have me here!" I said. He walks up to me with a smirk on his face, making me tense up. He slowly lift his hand, and smoke appears from what seem to be a gadget on his hand.

My eyes starts to feel heavy as I feel droopy after I inhale the smoke. My body starts to sway, and falls to the side. He quickly catches me in his arms before I hit the ground as everything went dark.

I slowly open my eyes. I try to move my hand, only to realize they're strapped up into a chair. The feeling of nervousness starts to grow within me, as I start to look around the place. The room is dark, the only thing I'm able to see is within a few feet from where I'm places. Where am I? What is this place? Where is Nii-Chan?

The light suddenly brightens, making me shut my eyes. I blink my eyes a few times. I look forward to see Fiend With Twenty faces standing across from me. He have his arms crossed.

"Where is Nii-Chan!! What did you do to him?!" I yelled. He walks over to me and gently place the back of his hand against my cheek. I turn my head away from him. He lift his other hand to reveal a knife. My eyes widen at the sight, as memories of what I used to go through starts replaying in my mind.

"No... please" I pleaded. He let out a laugh at the look of fear on my face. He places the sharp edge on my arm and starts to put pressure, just enough to draw blood. I wince in pain at his action.

He pulls the knife away from my skin. He watches in awe as the wound heals at a rapid rate. He turn his head to look at his hand as blood starts to flow from the wound that starts to form on his arm.

"Interesting..." he said. He turn to look at me and chuckle softly. "I fail to see why you're so afraid. If you have this power. No one can harm you. You can use it to your own benefit" he said, placing his hands on both arm rest as he leans his face down to be on the same eye level as me. I just look away from him.

"I don't want that. I don't want to be the reason people are hurting" I said, in a hushed voice. Tears starts to stream down my cheeks. I hear him letting out a chuckle. He lift his hand, placing it under my chin. He tilts my head to look at him.

"You're too pure for your own good, Y/N. You even give up your own freedom for a man you don't know. Do you honestly believed that Akechi-Kun actually cares about you?" He asked. He moves closer to the side of my head, until his lips is right next to my ear. "Let me tell you... you are nothing but a game to him..." he said. I shut my eyes tightly as I shake my head.

"No... no! That's not true!" I said, trying to shut all the words he's saying. I wish I can cover my ears, but the straps are holding them down. He continue to say cruel things, making my hope dwindle to nothing. Tears keeps falling from my eyes, which only makes him laugh at my state.

"And you know what else?" He said, pausing. He turn my head to look at him again. I just stare at him. My vision is blurry from the tears on my eyes. "None of your friend do care about you..." he said. I can feel myself collapsing at each words he utters.

No matter how hard I try to deny it. To ignore what he said... my heart is starting to believe him. Each passing seconds, makes me feel more miserable about myself. I shut my eyes tightly as I continue to cry. At some point, I even starts to scream as I desperately try to hold onto the last bits of sanity.

Yoshio P.O.V

I walk back and forth in anxiety. I place my thumb in my mouth as I start to bite my nail out of nervousness. They are trying to track where the Fiend With Twenty One face is located. Y/N must already be with him.

'Y/N... just what are you thinking? Why couldn't you just wait? We can go and free your Nii-Chan together. Why'd you go off on your own?!' I thought to myself. The more time passes, the more I frustrated I felt. I just want to have Y/N back in my arms. 

"Calm down, Kobayashi..." Inoue said. I turn to look at him, anger reflect in my eyes. I walk towards him and slams my hand on the table. I glare angrily at him, as I grit my teeth.

"Calm down? CALM DOWN?! The hell are you talking about, huh?? How can I calm down! My girlfriend... is out there with that man! Who knows what he's doing to her!" I screamed at top of my lungs. My body starts to tremble as tears starts to stream down my cheeks.

I hear a pained cry and turn my head to see Hanasaki is hunching forward. He's holding onto his hand that had started to bleed, letting me know that he must have tried to come near me. But the only one who's able to is Y/N. My heart clenched painfully at the thought of her. Oh Y/N... where are you?
