Chapter 10

1st Person POV:

I felt something lightly brush my head, and I quickly sprung from the floor and grabbed whatever was touching me and flipped it over my shoulder, and then slammed it into the ground.

Oh. It's Atsushi.

I paused for a moment, wondering how many bangs to the head on the wall would kill me.

Finally I let go of Atsushi's head and then quickly bowed "I'm sorry..." I quietly muttered. Atsushi wasn't moving and was lying on the ground, unmoving.

After a few beats of nervous silence, Atsushi finally twitched. "I- It's okay... It's my fault anyways..." He was able to weakly mutter.

I shook my head as I took his hand and picked him up "Getting hurt is never your fault... Usually." I told him. Atsushi brushed the dust off his clothes as he looked around "Where are we?"

Both of us were still in a small room, but the ridges along the wall told me that while we were passed out, we were transported to another place.

Atsushi watched as I knelt down to put the back of my hand onto the wall. I closed my eyes and felt the rocky motions, the motions were slightly inconstant. Then I put my ear to the wall.

I stood up "Atsushi, we're at the sea."  Just as I said that the doors in the room we were in slowly opened, revealing Kyouka.

Her eyes slightly widened at the sight of me, before returning to their blank state once again "Atsushi, Ali. Come."

Atsushi stared at her for a moment before he slowly started walking towards her. I stayed slightly behind him, wary of Kyouka's motivations.

Is she here to rescue us? Or is she-

I stopped for a moment and then looked behind Kyouka. "ATSUSHI LOOK OUT!" I ran forward and pushed him out of the way. Out of the way from Rashomon.

Rashomon grabbed me by my legs and then flung me towards the direction of a metal crate. I quickly twisted my body so that my arms would be protecting me from the hit. When I turned around I saw Akutagawa looking at me curiously.

He quickly closed the distance between the two of us and then brushed his hand over my bangs "I was sure that I killed you there. And your ability isn't suited for healing either." He said. 

I quickly slapped his hand away "Don't touch me." I said to him coldly while glaring at him.

Atsushi quickly ran forward to try to help me, he was halfway transformed into a tiger and was leaping toward Akutagawa.

Akutagawa tsked as he activated Rashomon, slamming Atsushi into the ground. From the corner of my eye I could see how Kyouka averted her gaze from the scene, trying her best to calm herself down.

Akutagawa focused his attention to Atsushi as he dug his heel in Atsushi's chest. ""We're currently at a trafficking ship. It's usually used to transport weapons, but we've reserved it for you today." 

Then he looked directly at Atsushi's eyes. "Enjoy your final trip before you're deported."

Behind Akutagawa I saw Kyouka slowly pulling out a gun from the sleeve of her kimono. I stayed quiet and made no movements to indicate my new knowledge.

It won't be effective. But it'll give her the push she needs to finally leave the mafia... I shouldn't intervene. This is her moment.

Atsushi winced from the pain "You wish..." He tried to push Akutagawa's foot off him, but Akutagawa just pressed down harder on him.
