Never Forget You (Tokito Muichiro X Reader)

Chapter 50

Previously on Chapter 49

My eyes widened at the new discovery I had just read. I turn my head to look at Y/N. An image of Y/N's demon eyes flash through my mind. That's the first step of the transformation. If I let this continues, Y/N will be a full fledge demon. But the only way to stop her is to kill her. There's no way I would do that. But what else can I do to stop her transformation?

-Stay Strong-

Y/N P.O.V

I slowly open my eyes, realizing I'm inside the Hospital Ward of the Butterfly Estate. My mind seem fuzzy. I can't recall what happened the previous days. If I try to think hard to remember, it only resulted in me having a painful headache.

I heave out a soft sigh as I close my eyes, deciding to just relax and not think too much about it. I hope whatever happened the previous days wasn't anything serious. I don't want to cause any trouble.

The door to my room slides open. I turn my head to see Kocho-San. She smiles when she notices me awake. She slowly walk towards me, until she stands next to the bed I'm laying on.

"I see you're finally awake. How are you feeling?" She asked. I just lightly shrug my shoulders. She let out a sigh at my silence and gently place a hand on my forehead. "Good... you seem to have gotten better. Your siblings, friends and boyfriend are all worried sick" she said.

I slowly move to sit up, leaning my back against the headboard. I stay silent for a moment, and turn to look at Shinobu-San. "Where are they now?" I asked.

She blinks her eyes in surprise. It's like she didn't expect me to talk. "Your siblings and friends are probably at the Entertainment District now. They're assisting the Sound Hashira to help him find his wives who are infiltrating the place for some informations" she said. I just hum softly and nod my head. I turn my head to look out the window, staring at the cloud drifting by.

I hear the door open. I turn my head to see Muichiro. His eyes widen when he notices me awake. He starts to tear up as he sped walk towards me. He sits on the edge of the bed, pulling me into a tight hug.

"Mui..." I said in a soft voice. I feel my shirt getting wet, making me realize Muichiro is crying. I slowly wrap my arms around him. He buries his face deeper into the crook of my neck, tightening his arms around me.

"Why do you keep on scaring me?" He said, pulling away to look at me. I just stare at him as he stares back at me in sadness. "You keep on making me worried about you, Y/N. I thought something bad would happen to you! Please don't do that to me..." he said. His voice cracks towards the end of his sentence as he pulls me into a hug again.

"What happened to me, Mui?" I asked, with my chin on his shoulder. He pulls away to look at me in surprise. I just stare at him with a confused face. "Wait... don't we have to a funeral to hold?" I said.

"Funeral? What funeral?" Kocho-San said. I turn to look at her as she stares at me with a confused gaze. I furrow my eyebrow at the way she looks at me. It's like I've said something crazy.

"A funeral for Rengoku-San. He had passed away after returning his life source to me..." I said. Muichiro and Kocho-San eyes widened at what I said. "What? Did I just said something wrong?" I asked.

"Y/N... the event of Rengoku-San's death is over 8 months ago" she said. I blink my eyes at what she said. I shake my head at what she said. What the hell is she saying? Rengoku-San died just recently.

"No... he died just a while ago" I said. They stare at me as if I had grown an extra head. I groan at the way they're looking at me. "Okay... what's with that face?? Why're you giving me that look?" I asked, pointing my fingers at the two of them.

"Y/N. Are you sure you're okay?" Muichiro said. I turn to look at him. He's staring at me with a worried gaze. "Is that really all you can remember?" He asked. He lift his hand, placing it on my forehead as if he's trying to check my temperature.

I let out a groan and remove his hand from my forehead. "Yes! Because it happened recently, right? Of course I can remember" I said. Muichiro and Kocho-San shared a look at each other. "What the hell is going on here?? Why are you both looking at me like I'm a different species? Can one of you just tell me??" I said.

Kocho-San turn her head to look at me. "The event of Rengoku-San's death is over 8 months ago. That's the truth... it didn't happened recently, Y/N-Chan. If that's the only thing you can remember from that day. I'm afraid that means you have suffered a partial memory loss" she said. I blink my eyes at what she said.

I let out a laugh at what she said. "Very funny, Kocho-San. You can drop the act now" I said. I expected her to start laughing. But instead, she only stares at me with a grim expression. I turn to look at Muichiro who seem to be fighting back his tears. "It's a joke... right?" I said.

"I really wish it was... but it's the truth, Y/N" Muichiro said. I look down at my lap and shakes my head. I feel a sharp pain in my head. I let out a pained cry as I hold onto my head. Muichiro quickly rushes to my side and places his hands on my shoulders. "Are you okay??" He asked.

"N-No... m-my head h-hurts..." I cried out. I can't hear what he said. The only thing I remember is a stinging pain on my head as my vision starts to grow blurry. The pain eventually stops as I seem to lose my sense of pain. My body slowly fell limp as Muichiro cradles me in his arms.

I open my eyes weakly as my sight seem to go in and out of focus. I stare into Muichiro's turquoise eyes. "Mui..." I said, in a soft and strained voice. I feel exhausted. He just smiles softly as he tighten his arms around me.

"It's okay, Y/N... if you're tired, just go to sleep. I'll be here to look after you" he said, in a soft voice. I blink my eyes slowly and smiles weakly at him. I slowly close my eyes as I feel myself drifting off to sleep.

Muichiro P.O.V

Kocho-San injected a pain reliever serum on her arm. Her body eventually relaxes as she falls limp. Both of her eyes are closed as she lose her consciousness once again. I let choked sob as I pull her closer into my embrace.

"You have to stay strong for Y/N, Tokito-Kun. She'd need you more than anything..." Kocho-San said, placing a hand on my shoulder. I turn to look at her with tears in my eyes. She gives me a sad smile and turn around to walk out of the room.

I turn my head to look at my girlfriend. I gently brush a strand piece of hair behind her ear. I lean my forehead against hers as I stare at her in sadness.

"I'm so sorry I'm not much of a help, Y/N..." I said. I feel tears streams down my cheeks. I place a soft kiss on her forehead. "But I promise I'll always be here with you. I'll take care of you..." I said. I will stay strong for Y/N's sake. I will always be here for her. I'm not giving up on her... no matter what.
