The Shadows of Fate

Incompletely complete

He's here.

Who is?

Kazunari wondered as Shoichi opened the door.

When the doorbell rang earlier, he saw how Shoichi squinted his eyes with his brows knitted. Just when he was about to ask him who it was, Shoichi's expression changed. He asked Kazunari to watch the circle, in case Midorima arrive, and told him he'll open the door.

His eyes widened when he saw who the person was.

Before their front door stood Seijuurou Akashi, the leader of the Kiseki Coven.

Kazunari's mind blanked as he stormed over without a second thought.

"Fucking Akashi Seijuurou" Shoichi saw how infuriated the younger male was. He stepped aside as he got near, granting Kazunari the freedom to grab the shirt of Kiseki's leader.

"What the hell did you do?!" Kazunari harshly gripped his shirt, eyes heated in anger. Seijuurou didn't fight back, he waited until he finished speaking not wanting to agitate him more by interrupting.

"I'd like to answer you," Seijuurou slowly said, "However, I do believe we need to prioritize Kuroko's safety first."

And on cue, a loud scream erupted. Kazunari shuddered as he felt the bursting energy coming from the room.

He grits his teeth as he roughly lets go of Akashi. He turned around to make his way upstairs.

Shoichi, who was watching the whole time, faced Akashi. "You better fix this sooner, Kiseki's coven leader, Akashi."

Seijuurou did not respond, and as always, Shoichi couldn't read him.

Shoichi quietly turned his way as he heard Seijuurou enter and close the door.

Kazunari halts when he sees the teleportation circle glow in green, making Shoichi and Seijuurou pause too.

There and then, Shintarou Midorima appeared, standing in the middle of the circle, his posture being poor.

His spent eyes met blank ones. Shintarou went stiff when Kazunari walked away without saying anything.

He found Shoichi and Seijuurou also there. When he was about to speak, Shoichi immediately interjected, "Follow him. Kuroko needs your help."

This made the two tense as they rushed themselves to the room, following Kazunari. Shoichi sighed, staying behind to resume his stabilizing ritual.

"What a messy situation to be in"

The three witches are quiet, no one dared to speak. Their head is in every direction. Kazunari's steps were heavy; the two Kiseki didn't bother questioning it.

As they went nearer and nearer, Seijuurou and Shintarou could feel their stomach twist. It wasn't long before they stopped at the room. At some point they questioned why they couldn't feel Kuroko, it seems like Shoichi had been keeping the room protected to prevent the energy from going outside.

"Prepare yourselves" was Kazunari's words before opening the door. The two did instinctually.

The door opened, and that was when they felt massive heat waves throughout their body. The heat traveled throughout their bodies until their marks. Their marks burned in black flames making them yelp in pain.

"Oh fuck, your marks are burning." Kazunari panicked

Shintarou glanced at his hands, just noticing the burn now. When he saw it, he quickly checked on Seijuurou. "Akashi–"
