Chainsaw Man: Bringing forth war. (Yoru x Denji Reader)

part 4: '''That should've worked!'''

August 14th.

It's around 11 AM the next morning, though you woke up at 8. You Have no specific time you start searching for devils, usually just after breakfast, which you haven't had yet.

'Why me? Why did I have to get possessed?'

'''I didn't possess you, we made a contract.'''

'Same thing. You could've just left me dead and stolen my body, I'd prefer it that way.'

Someone knocks on your door.

You walk over and stare blankly at the wood in deep contemplation. You grab the doorknob and twist it.

"A-"

You jump back a little. It's her! It's the girl that attacked you! What does she want!? Why's she have no scar on her face!? Why are her eyes..normal?

'H-hey. We met before, I was..looking forward to talking?'

"You stabbed me through the chest with a spear."

'That wasn't me, AND you cut my legs off.'

Asa walks in without your permission, looking around your apartment. The place she called default and bland was pretty well decorated, atleast your apartment was. She feels the marble top counters, her counters being tiled. Hey, this apartments nice. Maybe she'll find a way to move in with him, especially with yoru helping her lead him on a date. That way she wouldn't have to pay as much rent.

'Whats your name?'

"..denji. You realize you cant just walk in without permission, right?"

Asa doesn't comment on that, instead staring at the color the walls are painted.

'Needs more black. Black and grey.'

You fold and just let her do what she wants, closing the door. You lean on the wall and look at her, starting to say something before she cuts you off.

'So about yesterday. That..wasn't really me. I'll explain more if you get lunch with me?'

"Is that a date?"

'Its a yes or a no, thats what it is.'

And suddenly, now you're both at a nearby Cafe. Your broken chainsaws you left on the floor of the apartments hallway were gone, so they either melted or got cleaned up. The blood has been..attempted to be cleaned, but it seems the janitor gave up half way, that doesn't matter though. You're staring at one of the menus, asa orders nothing as she stares at you intently.

'''What an idiot.''' Yoru's voice rings in Asa's mind.

Asa says nothing as you order a bunch of food, staring at you on an almost impressed way as you talk to the waiter. How much food is that? How expensive would that be? Asa does the math in her head as you give the waiter a long order all for yourself, her ending at about 20,000 yen. There's no way..

'So, about yesterday. That was..' she pauses.

'The person you fought is a devil I made a contract with. Shes interested in you and wanted me to ask you out.'

Asa whispers, thinking of a lie on the spot. Not all of it is a lie, yoru IS a devil, but she's not at all interested in denji romantically (yet). Asa has to say what denji wants to hear, so she did.

"I dont date, and I dont wanna go out with the girl who killed me 7 times in 30 minutes."

You pick at your food, eating slowly and waiting for the girl to say something in response. To her, that was unexpected. It's not unexpected that you would reject her after what happened, but it's unexpected that you don't date. She thought you would've had atleast one girlfriend.

'Oh..thats understandable. I dont know what she expected.' Asa rolls her eyes, flipping yoru off in spirit for making her ask out THE chainsaw man.

'I'll tell her its a no..'

Asa steals some of your food, you letting her have as much as she wants since you were never gonna finish it anyway. Since you both have nothing better to do, you finish eating together and start talking. Yoru is punching air because her plan didn't work, and asa is talking to you about interests. She's a little nervous to be talking to you, but she forces herself since yoru needs it to progress her plan.

'You wanna go some place else? I don't have alot of friends, and you cutting up my body is the most male attention I've gotten, so..'

"..thats.."

You can barely control your laughter.

"Thats sad as fuck!"

Asa's obviously embarrassed, but she hides it.

'Its ALSO a yes or no question!'

"Whatever. Let's go."

3 hours have passed, you're both walking back home. You have no idea of the bullet you just dodged after rejecting asa, but you did just talk and get to know her for a good part of the afternoon. You and Asa reach the apartment complex, the blood splatters now being worked on by multiple cleaners. You take the elevator up to your respective floors and go to your rooms.

Asa closes the door behind herself.

'Told you that wouldn't work. He only agreed to the date because he was confused on why you attacked him.'

'''It should've! Boys are desperate, he was supposed to say yes!'''

'You can't just cut people open and wonder why they don't want a date with you. Also, we just met! Of course he would say no!'

Asa mentally facepalms as she sits on the edge of her bed while taking her shoes off. Yoru manifests infront of asa and walks to the wall, then leaning on it and plotting.

'Can't you just turn him into a weapon now?'

'''I can, but it would be weak. I need to get attached before my weapons can instant kill. Either you or me need to befriend him.'''

Asa contemplates what yoru just said to her, sighing afterward and getting up.

'He's gonna think we're weird.'

'''Ask him about what he likes, you did some of that when you were sharing food with him.'''

'We'll have to wait until tomorrow, asking to hang out right after he rejected us would be suspicious-'

Too late, asa isn't in control of her body anymore. Yoru walks out of her apartment and heads toward the elevator, stepping inside and looking at the buttons. She isn't too familiar with how elevators work, and thinks pressing buttons is an odd feeling.

'''What floor does chainsaw man live on?'''

'14th. Also you didnt put our shoes back on.' Asa's voice speaks reluctantly in yoru's head, but she knows she has no choice in what happens.
