Artemis in Borderland (Multiple Yandere's)

Ch. 8

Artemis pov

Niragi left to get my weapons and Chishiya had to talk to Kuina, but Last Boss was waiting outside Niragis room for me to get dressed.

I was changing out of my bathing suit and into my leathers, as Hatter set up a game for me, once I'm done I walk out of the room to see Last Boss leaning against the wall. He holds his hand out to me and I take it.

Last boss always feels cold. I haven't touched him often because he makes me nervous, but anytime he has touched me, his skin has been cold borderline freezing. I pull his arm to my chest and rub his arm trying to warm him up as he takes me to the shooting range.

When we arrive I see all my weapons and holsters laid out on a table where Niragi and Aguni stood speaking, I let go of Last Boss and run over, I shove Niragi out of the way a little making him look down at me shocked as Aguni smirks, I trace some of my weapons taking inventory making sure they are all there.

"I had them sharpened and polished." Aguni speaks up and I send him a beaming smile.

"Thank you!" I say my voice dripping with excitement, Niragi pulls me closer to him and kisses the side of my head.

"We had militants scope out the game arenas and report back, we won't tell you what the game is that you will be playing in but, it would be safest if you brought a gun with you." Aguni says pulling a gun out and holding it out to me and I shake my head with a frown clutching NIragi's arm.

"I don't like guns." I speak and my voice comes out small. Aguni frowns and looks back at Niragi before looking back at me.

"This game will be very hard to complete with only knives Artemis, you can end up getting injured again." Aguni once again speaks and I hesitantly reach out for the gun and take the heavy metal into my hand.

"You know how to work it baby?" Niragi asks and I nod." Then let's go practice." I start to shake a little as we walk to the shooting range and I stare down a target. Niragi stands behind me and I look back at him and he nods at me.

I hold the gun up with two hands after switching off the safety, I aim at the target as bad memory flashes through my head and pull the trigger, The recoil vibrates through my muscles and a look of horror crosses my pale and sweety face and I drop the gun and back away from it staring at the center of the target that I shot.

"What's wrong?" A voice calls out. "Baby?" someone touches my shoulder and I whirl around fearfully and throw a left hook that gets blocked.

A wide-eyed Niragi looks down at me and I stumble away." I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I mutter and stumble away as I glance back at the target before quickly walking off.

I hear footsteps follow me and from over my shoulder I see Last Boss, and sprint inside and up the stairs. I keep going up the stairs with Last Boss following, up and up I go until I'm slamming into the door and stumbling out onto a rooftop.

I take a deep breath as I sit down on the edge of the building. Last Boss straddles it to face me and stares.

"I hate guns." I speak up looking down at all the people partying, from up here they look so small." They're loud and they're heavy, I like knives. Anyone can pull a trigger, but a knife makes you get up close, you have to look the person you want dead in the eye and face your actions." I tell him and then turn to him.

"There's nothing noble about shooting a man down." He inched closer to me to the point that I was sat between his legs and he was only a few inches away and he stroked my back.

"My father was a terrible man, I tried my best to make him proud, to earn his love but nothing was ever good enough." I tell the tatted-up man next to me as I play with my fingers.
