Hidden Love (Akaza X Reader)

Chapter 31

Previously on Chapter 30

He crouch down in front of me. "Are you going to talk?" He asked. I lift my head to look at him after I regained my breathing. "Where is she... where is my Y/N??" He said. I feel anger growing within me when he called Y/N as his. But I didn't say anything, and I will never tell him where Y/N is. If I have to die right at this moment, then so be it... as long as Y/N is safe.

That's all that matters to me...

-Two Hearts Beating As One-

Y/N P.O.V

I've been having a bad feeling since last night, to the point I couldn't sleep. There's this nagging feeling that keeps tugging on my heart. It makes me wonder if there is something going on. What if Akaza is in trouble. I'm sure the Demon King isn't happy with the fact that he had sent me away.

I close my eyes as I hug my knees close to my chest, as I feel the soft breeze brushing past my hair ever so gently. I'm currently seated by a lake, which was not too far from the Estate, since I'm not allowed to leave for safety purposes. So I can't complain much about my current situation. I wouldn't want to be captured by the demons either, as I want nothing to do with the Demon King. But even so, my heart won't stop longing for Akaza to be here with me.

"Akaza..." I muttered softly. My mind drift off to the smile on his face whenever he looks at me. I missed him so much. I want more than anything to just be next to him. To have his arms embrace me in a silent assurance that he would always be with me.

I make my way towards the futon and lay down. I close my eyes as I hug my body, imagining my arms to be Akaza's. It's the only thing that gave me comfort even if it's not much. My breathing evened out as I slowly drift off to sleep.

Akaza P.O.V

Muzan-Sama clicks his tongue in annoyance because of my silence. I keep my head down to avoid angering him further. I know he hates it when someone stares at him directly in his eyes. He'd take it as a challenge.

I feel a hand on my hair, yanking my head up. I flinch at the sudden move. Even though I'm a demon, I'd still feel pain and his grip on my head is giving me just that. I bit my lips as an attempt to stop myself from making even the smallest sound.

"I'm asking you a question, Akaza. Where. Is. She?" He said. I just advert my gaze away from him. "You dare defy me?! Huh???" He spat angrily. He lift his hand and pierce me through my chest.

Y/N P.O.V

I gasp awake as I feel a sharp pain on my chest. I clutch my chest. It feels like I've been stabbed through. I start to cough as a gasp for air. I open my mouth as I let out a pained cry.

The door slides open. I turn my head to see Senjuro. "Nee-San!!" He yelled out as he's quick to rush over to my side. "What's going on??" He asked. I can't answer him because of the pain. Panic is shown on his face as he stares at me worriedly, without knowing what to do. "H-Hang on, okay?? I'll look for Kocho-San!" He said. He quickly gets up and rush out.

I close my eyes as a flash of image flashes through my head. When I open my eyes, I can see a pair of plum red eyes staring into mine. I recognize the eyes to be that man's... Kibutsuji Muzan.

Tell me where she is, Akaza... or I shall dispose of you... his voice echoed in my head. It makes me realize that I'm staring at him through Akaza's point of view. Akaza move his head slightly and I can see an arm piercing through his chest.

"Akaza..." I said, weakly. My eyes get blurry from the pain. My eyes drifted shut as I slowly starts to lose my consciousness.

Kyoujuro P.O.V

I've just returned from my mission when I saw Kocho rushing out of my house. A couple of Kakushi follows soon after. My eyes widen when I realize the Kakushi is carrying someone using a stretcher. They move past me.

"Y/N..." I breathed out as I watch her getting carried out of my house. Her face looks pale and she looks so weak. What happened to her? She was okay when I left.

"Ani-Ue!" A voice called out. I turn my head to see my brother. He rushes over to me. I turn my body to face him and places my hands on his shoulders.

"What happened to Y/N, Senjuro?" I asked. He shakes his head to let me know he didn't know. "Okay... I'll go to the Butterfly Estate. I need to make sure she's okay" I said.

"Okay... let me know how she's doing, okay?" He said. His eyes getting teary. Which my eyes soften. Y/N's been acting like a mother for him. That's how she is. She's always been so motherly. It's one of the many reasons why I had fallen in love with the h/c haired girl. But I know, no matter how hard I try to fight for her love and for her to accept me... I'd never win, because the one that she'd ever truly love will always be that Upper Moon 3.

I smile and nod my head. I lift my hand, placing it on his head. "I will... don't worry" I said. He gives me a sad smile. I turn around and make my way out of the house, heading towards the Butterfly Estate.

A While Later

I sit on the bench in the waiting area. Kocho still hasn't come out. She's still in the room, checking on Y/N. I bit my lips as I clutch my hands together. I shut my eyes as I try to get rid of any negative thoughts that threatened to haunt my head. I have to stay positive. I have to believe that Y/N will be okay, and I know that she will be. After all, Y/N is a strong person. I turn my head to look at the door of the room they're in.

You're going to be okay, Y/N...
