[dead soul] (scaramouche x fem reader)

7. Vision

"So how did you even end up here?" Asked the red haired boy who called himself "heizou"

I chuckled at his comment "and why should i?"

He stared at me for a second then sat next to me "well, you're staying the night at the police station. Shouldn't i be aware of why did this gorgeous lady ran away from home this late?"

I indeed ran away from the Tenshukaku but explaining this to someone i just met was a dumb decision. Heizou seemed like a very kind and funny person, he definitely had a personality i would trust. I mean how worse can he be? Worse than scaramouche?

"I ran away from kunikuzushi." I don't really care if i ruin his reputation anymore. Others deserve to know what a monster he is. I hate him with my whole heart.

"Wait! Are you that shrine maiden everyone's talking about?"

"I am the chosen one for this job."

He stared at me with widened eyes and grabbed my shoulders "why? Why are you doing this? The crown archon has been making his bodyguards ran away ever since he showed up. You don't deserve this y/n."

"I know but i was chosen!"

"But don't let him hurt you again, ok? If he did that I'll talk to the shogun or anyone who is forcing you to continue your job."

He was getting close to me by telling me how he could let me out of the hell scaramouche made for me "there's no need for that heizou! I appreciate your kindness but he didn't hurt me."

He raised one of his eyebrows as a sign of shock "then how do you justify yourself? Why did you run away then?"

I didn't have the courage to look at him in the eyes, he was smart. He said he is a detective! What else should i expect?

I stayed completely silent ignoring his question "wow, what's with all of this documents around the place?"

"y/n!"

"Were you looking for a document?"

"y/n!!"

"I can help you with that!"
