I've been set up, haven't I? (Story 18)

"Has the mission been successful, Akutagawa?" Mori walked down into the Port Mafia's basement. Atsushi was laying on the ground in his puddle of blood. "Just waiting for you sir." Akutagawa coughed and looked down at the bleeding-out were-tiger. "Kill him, and leave his body at the Red Warehouse downtown." Mori chuckled devilishly before climbing back up the stairs. "Fantasic work Akutagawa. I knew I could count on you." Mori's voice and figure faded, and Akutagawa smiled to himself feeling praised.

 He used the ability of Rashomon to successfully kill the were-tiger Atsushi. Akutagawa bent down checking Atsushi's pluse, it was gone, he killed Atsushi. "You've been such a pain in the ass were-tiger, this feeling I am feeling right now feels amazing." Akutagawa chuckled to himself before loading Atsushi's body in a car, "Higuchi, dump his body at Red Warehouse, bosses orders." "You got it Akutagawa-kun!" She rolled up the car window and drove off to the warehouse location, she dumped the were-tigers body and sped off away from the scene.

"You wanted to see me, boss?" Chuya took off his pork pie hat holding it to his chest, "Ah yes, Chuya. I was wondering if you are free at the moment." Mori had a devilish smirk on his face, "I am, why?" "Let's go somewhere, just me and you." Chuya and Mori left the Mafia's headquarters and walked downtown to the Red Warehouse. They walked towards Atsushi's body laying there, "Is this Akutagawa's doing?" Chuya bent down at the body taking off his hat. "Indeed." Mori bent down also sticking a needle into Atsushi's body.

 "Hurry! Atsushi should be over here!" Kunkida yelled at Dazai driving the car. "Ah, they seemed to arrive." Mori stood up laughing, and Chuya laughed with him. Dazai parked the car, "Shit! Is that... The Port Mafia? What are they doing here!?" Kunkida looked out the window in disbelief. Dazai and he grabbed their guns running over. "Farewell Chuya Nakahara." Mori waved to Chuya and soon vanished in thin air, Chuyas eyes widen, "That bastard-" "Freeze! Are you from the Port Mafia!?" Kunkida yelled holding his gun, his fingers on the trigger. "Chuya? What are you doing here?" Dazai walked forward and noticed Atsushi's body.

"Chuya...you killed him?!" "What!? No! Of course not. I'm not in charge of this were-tiger bullshit. Mori just-" Dazai pointed his gun at his former partner, Dazai was a few inches away from him. "Dazai, I swear I didn't do this, it was Akutagawa. I told you Akutagawa has always been obsessed with this were-tiger. Why would I kill him?" Dazai was in disbelief, his fingers were on the trigger. "Stay away from me Chuya Nakahara." "What?! I didn't do this you jackass! I'm telling you it was Akutagawa! Mori told me!" Chuya had tears swelling up in his ocean-blue eyes, and Dazai had tears forming in his brown eyes. Chuya took a step closer to Dazai, and Dazai recoiled. "Dazai..." Chuya murmured under his breath, tears dropped on the cement.

Chuya used his ability to break the cement, sending Dazai and Kunkida flying backward. Chuya escaped the red warehouse with tears dripping down his cheeks. Kunkida got up grabbing Atsushi, "I'm taking him back to the Agency, I'll get Yosano's help. You stay and defeat the enemy." Kunkida's tone was panicked, he ran to the car and drove off with Atsushi.

 Dazai grabbed Chuya's pork pie hat off the ground. "How can I trust you," Dazai murmured, as he threw his gun on the ground. Chuya slid down behind an alleyway catching his breath, and tears dripping down his cheeks. "I'm used to people being scared of me, but what scares me is you being one of them, Dazai."
