❝𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐗𝐈𝐀❞ (Z. Maki x FEM!Reader)

18

Ijichi dozed off lightly every twenty minutes or so, waiting in the car as he never left the driver's seat.

By dawn, (Y/N) had completed nine missions.

And of course, (Y/N) being (Y/N), she returned from about three times of her missions, nearly halfway to the pearly gates.

Personally, the author doubts that (Y/N) would make it to heaven.

Ijichi was worried during the first two, but after seeing (Y/N)'s out-of-the-world reverse cursed technique skills, he had given up.

"Ijichi-san, do you mind getting coffee for us?" (Y/N) yawned as she returned from her tenth mission, fighting her sleep with everything she had.

"Of course," Ijichi said softly, rubbing his eyes as he woke himself up.

"I want an iced americano, with extra ice cubes. Thanks!" (Y/N) chirped as she lied down in the backseat of the car.

Ijichi mumbled a small 'okay', walking to the nearest coffee shop he could find.

(Y/N) tried her best to stay awake, wanting to keep her blood pumping to finish all missions as fast as she possibly could.

..That, and she also didn't want to dream.

"I have a girlfriend." (Y/N) muttered aloud out of the blue. She then continued, chasing her sleep away.

"I have a girlfriend!" She tested it out on her tongue a few more times before breaking into a giggling fit.

Is this how they feel in those romance movies? I finally get it now! (Y/N) smiles as she thinks inwardly, more than happy to learn new emotions.

"When was the last time you slept?"

(Y/N) abruptly jumps to stand up straight, head numb as she silently looks around for the source of voice.

She rubs her droopy eyes with inches of eye bags beneath them, trying her best to clear her vision and mind.

"Who are you?" (Y/N) calls out, squinting her eyes as she began wondering if she were hallucinating.

After all, it wouldn't be her first time if she began seeing things due to lack of sleep.

"You." The same voice whispers, and it oddly echoes in the girl's ear.

"You or Yu?" (Y/N) asked, and the next thing she knew, she was trapped in one of her old memories again.

(Y/N) watches silently as the green haired girl walks away from her.

"Hurry, exorcise the curse so we can go home."

"Is it true?" She asks, genuine confusion evident in her tone.

"What? What's true?" Mai spat, shooting down a curse that was a few meters away.

"That you told the others about it." (Y/N) inquires as she kicks a curse nearing Mai to death.

"Oh, that." Mai rolls her eyes, lowering her aiming stance. "Yes I did. Why?"

(Y/N) frowns slightly, and Mai notices instantly when she had done so.

"Oh, you're trying to get all sad now? Who taught you how to make those realistic faces?" Mai mocks, but (Y/N) silently takes all the insults as she exorcises the curses.

Mai pauses her movements for a couple of seconds to see if (Y/N) would respond, but she doesn't.

Determined to get a reaction out of her, Mai goes as low as possible to deal the final blow.
