And You Disappeared (K Project X Reader)

14: Fire and Celebration Part 2

Mikoto's P.o.v.

"Do you think she can pull this off?" that was one question that Tatara had whispered to me and it was one question that had been ringing out through my head. Even now as (Y/n) and Yata stood in the middle of the field, ready to fight, I asked the question to myself. She didn't know how ruthless we were. She didn't know how Kings and clans were. She didn't know the meaning between life and death when it came to fighting...at least that's what I thought. I let out a puff of cigarette smoke as I narrowed my amber eyes and stared into the field. It was about to begin. "Ready!?" Izumo shouted, "Ready!" two voices yelled back. I marveled at the one that sounded like bells. Then as if everyone knew what to do, Izumo calmly stepped back and crossed his arms as he leaned his back against the van and Tatara sat with Anna who both seemed nervous, and it took me a moment to realize I was a bit unnerved too. It was then that Yata's whole body seemed to be encased in flames as he charged towards a still unmoving (Y/n), her hands in the pockets of her jacket, and her (f/c) and (e/c) eyes calm. "What the hell is she doing?" Izumo huffed; he was tapping his arm now. I grunted as I took another drag from my cigarette. "I don't know, but if she doesn't move I doubt she'll leave without a bruise or two" I mumble. But as I spoke those words a part of me found them to be true while another half knew she had something up her sleeve. Then, just as that thought crossed my mind everything seemed to happen at once. Yata was in front of her now, his fists covered in flames and barreling straight towards the (h/c)-haired strain. Izumo was up and alert now, about to call everything off. Tatara's eyes widened in shock and worry as Anna's eyes did the same. But just like the blink of an eye my eyes caught a glimpse of (Y/n)'s lips turning upwards in a smirk. And before anyone could do anything, (Y/n) had swerved, avoiding Yata's attack and I watched as she stuck out her right leg and placed her hand around Yata's neck. Then he was forced down and tripped over her foot, landing with a loud thud and groan. Silence. Everyone was silent. Except for (Y/n), for the young strain poked her defeated opponent and smiled a victorious smile before waving her arms widely towards us like a small child wanting to show their parents a new trick. "I did it~!" she called out, and I had to cover my mouth as a small but true chuckle passed my lips. This was ridiculous. Suddenly my ears pick up the sound of laughing and I look beside me only to see Izumo doubled over in laughter as Anna and Tatara giggled quietly as if to not offend the likely embarrassed vanguard. Then I turned my attention back towards (Y/n) only to see that she was on her knees, Yata's beet red face in her hands as she smiled widely, her (h/l) (h/c) framing her face perfectly as her (f/c) and (e/c) eyes sparkled. She wiped the dirt from his cheek with her thumb and upon seeing the chestnut-haired boys face get even redder she hugged him tightly with a wholehearted laugh that made my chest suddenly ache, and I fire suddenly light within my being.

Your P.o.v.

"I'm sorry Yata" my words came out in a giggle, and I watched, as the vanguards face got even redder. "I didn't mean to hurt you" I say my words more sincerely now, my smile turning more into a loving one than a joking one. He sat up now, his arms resting on his knees as he poked out his bottom lip in a slight pout only to look away and mumble something that only I would have been able to hear, "I should be the one helping you." I close my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes and laugh, unaware of the blush that was setting in on Yata's cheeks once more. "Don't be silly~" I sing, flicking Yata's forehead "you already are helping me, I just need some more practice, that was only one round..." I trail off. I let my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes go back to Yata watching as he stared at the ground and seemed to ponder his thoughts. Silence. "Don't beat me up so bad next time," he mumbled before his hazel eyes landed on my multicolored ones and his lips turned upwards in a wide smile as he closed his eyes. I smiled back. "SO CUTE~!!!" I screech as I hug Yata once more, forcing his face into my chest as he scrambled to get out of my grip making me laugh eve harder. Today was a good day.
