Traitor (Renji Yomo x Reader) [Continued in a second book!]

Puppet

"Who's here?!" I asked, starting to panic as soon as Renji seemed alerted.

But before I could get an answer, the door flew open, pushing the object in front of it away with ease and someone stormed inside.

Renji immediately tugged on my arm, pulling me behind him, hiding me.

The room that was once so peaceful suddenly felt menacing.

"What do you want?!" he growled at our opponents.

The male just chuckled: "You know exactly why I'm here"

Silence.

Renji clenched his teeth together while his hands formed fists, ready to fight.

We knew why they were here.

They want me.

"We've spent months looking for our little puppet" he continued.

We? Puppet?.. Oh.. he's a ghoul. An Aogiri Ghoul.. Coming to get me.

Out of fear I started pulling on Renji's shirt, it reassured me that he was protecting me even when I closed my eyes to blink.

"Now that I finally found our puppet, I'd like to take her home - so just give me that pathetic being"

Home.. that place.. Is not my home

"No" Renji simply stated.

"Of course not, your family has always been a plague. At least there's only one nuisance left - only one left to kill" the ghoul spat.

"Don't dare mention my family" Renji threatened him.

"Oh, does the little boy still miss his siblings? Perhaps even his parents?"

"Shut up. This is not about them"

"No? Well, you're going to lose that skank like you lost everyone else"

Renji's hands formed into fists and he was preparing to run right at that ghoul to attack him, but I pulled on his arm, trying to hold him back.

He was my defense.. And I didn't want him to leave me.

But my action was foolish, it was stupid.

Renji turned his head to me and stopped in his tracks, his expression angry and confused, ready to kill that ghoul but at the same time worrying about me.

I wish he didn't look at me.

In those seconds, the ghoul released his kagune and started to attack him, piercing right through his body.

Blood started splattering everywhere, his expression seemed pained, in shock.

This is my fault.

Immediately regretting my actions, I let go of his arm and instead looked for an object to defend him with until he would regain his composure.

As I glanced around the room, I could hear the ghoul beat him up, using his kagune to make sure he wouldn't be able to move.
