Love In Borderland Niragi x OC x Chishiya

The Witch

Kagami and Chishiya stayed sitting on the cold roof of the Beach, his arms wrapped around her, until Kagami had no more tears left to cry and her voice had become hoarse. Niragi was dead and Kagami had finally allowed herself to come to terms with it. There was no way he could have survived being set on fire as well as falling off of a building as high as the one they were still on top of. After around five minutes of Chishiya and Kagami sitting in silence, she felt Chishiya move to his feet from behind her before he moved around to stand in front of her, his hand outstretched.

"Come on, let's finish this game." He said softly. Kagami's puffy eyes fell from his face onto his hand and she swallowed hard before taking it and being pulled to her feet. 

"How do we even find the Witch?" Kagami asked softly.

Kagami no longer felt anything. It was as though all of her tears for Niragi washed away anything left that she had. That was until Chishiya cupped her face and just like that, Kagami's heart skipped a beat and she felt as though the whole world had disappeared and only they existed. She still didn't understand why and how Chishiya made her feel that way and she was too tired to work it out.

"Do you trust me?" Chishiya asked, brushing his thumbs against her cheeks while she looked at him like he was the sun.

"More than anyone." Was Kagami's reply, the words causing a small smile to form on Chishiya's face before he dropped his hands, but not without first brushing her long, black hair away from her face.

"We'll get the cards and then we'll go to the annex to see what the other survivors are doing." Chishiya said before he moved towards the cards that were scattered across the rooftop.

Kagami watched Chishiya for a few seconds as he crouched down to collect the cards before she walked over and began to help him. While she could feel Chishiya's eyes on her, Kagami thought it best to focus on the Cards that she absentmindedly was sorting into numerical order. As soon as the cards were all collected and they had about half of them each, Kagami stood up and walked over to Chishiya to hand them over to him. Chishiya took them and placed the cards back into his pocket before he turned towards the door to head back into the building.

"Hey, what did Suguru mean about the long game?" Kagami asked, causing Chishiya to look at her. Chishiya's eyes examined her for a moment before he smirked and averted his gaze.

"I'll tell you about it after the game." He told her, before intertwining his fingers with hers. "It's nothing sinister, I promise." He added, squeezing her hand gently. Kagami returned a smile and a nod before the pair made their way towards the door.

As they were making their way down the stairs, hand in hand, Kagami noticed immediately that the chaos seemed to have died down. Pulling out the game phone, she saw that they had only fifteen minutes left. After heading down all of the stairs Chishiya lead Kagami onto the balcony of the annex where they had watched Aguni's speech as the new leader. Below them, they could see the rest of the survivors had been rounded up by the remaining militant members. Aguni stood in the lead and Kagami also got sight of Saiko as well as about ten other militant members. All of them were holding onto handguns that were pointed at the terrified Beach members.

"Kill them all." Aguni said and while Kagami prepared herself for the slaughter. She was surprised to see hesitance in the eyes of many of the militant members. Kagami's eyes remained locked onto Aguni. He was the man she personally blamed for how Niragi ended up and for the slaughter of all of the Beach members.  After a few more moments of silence, Aguni kicked one of the militant member's, causing the man to drop to his knees. He was losing control and he didn't like it. "Anyone who defies me here is the Witch." Aguni said, aiming a handgun at the man who he had kicked.
