The Way I Loved You || manjiro sano - yandere au

chapter twenty

THE TWO OF YOU maintained intense eye contact, wanting to see which of which is lying. Izana sported a subtle frown, which mirrored his bewilderment.

Was he trying to act as though he wasn't the one who sent those gifts or was he truly not the person responsible? You're unsure, it's hard to read a person you barely know and cautious around.

Finally, you were the one who broke the silence. "Never mind," you hastily brushed away the topic, fearing that Izana would only stare into your soul further and drive you into a maze.

"What are you doing here? Watching me?"

Izana took a moment to blink away any uncertainty before speaking. He sounds more confident and refined now after remembering why he walked up to you. Surely it was purely out of ill intent, as he has no other reason to approach you.

"I'm confident that you haven't told Mikey about me, yes?"

As much as you loathed lying to Mikey, you felt as though the situation could have different outcomes. You were still unsure of what this man was capable of and even if you were to ask Mikey for help, it would likely be dangerous seeing as they are always armed.

Though, a part of you is curious about what Izana wants. Once you understood his full intentions you will take it to Mikey.

Taking your silence as an answer, Izana's light laughter rang in your ears. Hes mockingly looking at you, eyes slightly hooded because of his wide menacing smile. "Well, I would lie about me too. We don't want your boyfriend to get jealous."

"Just cut to the chase." You snapped, annoyed at how he was mocking you in such a place. "Do you want something from me? Is that why you threatened me?"

"I never threatened you. Maybe you heard that wrong."

"You pointed a gun at me."

Izana shrugged nonchalantly, completely forgetting about the incident that transpired many months ago. "I'm here because I have something you want to hear about. I know who killed Baji."

"I know, I was there.'' You glance at Baji's grave but only for a brief moment before focusing your gaze on Izana. The latter only stared back at you with a hint of amusement, as if something you said made him feel giddy.

"Really? Unless you know the full story, you'll never truly avenge his death." Izana was ready to step away but then, he proposed a deal. "If you want to learn more, how about we meet again next week hm?''

"What if..." you stammered and Izana abruptly interrupts. "Then, watch over Emma okay?'' Izana offers one last smile before walking away, his bleached hair dancing with the tranquil wind and taking away any malice.

One question remains unanswered. If izana didn't send those human remains, then who did?

AT THE SANO HOUSEHOLD, havoc recks the halls as the two siblings chase each other with a fit of giggles and pillows. They throw curses and teases at each other, each carrying a pillow shield to protect themselves from the attacks.

"(Name)!!'' Mikey giggled as he pushed Emma out of the room and locked her out. He finally lets out a sigh of relief once he was in the comfort of the sanctuary. Emma was repeatedly banging and screaming through the door.

Mikey found you laying in bed, looking up at the ceiling with a heavily focused stare. It feels as though you were about to drill circles in the ceiling. Hes worried, you've been acting this way since yesterday and you haven't been yourself since.

He remembers that you went out by yourself the day before and came back quiet. He doesn't want to push you into telling him but it's getting on his nerves that he isn't being much of a help.
