And You Disappeared (K Project X Reader)

16: Handcuffs and Blue Intentions

*I didn't know if any words showed up (they didn't on my phone) so I republished this chapter*

Your P.o.v.

"Oh my god" I choke out, the words escaping my throat in a strained whisper for my throat seemed to close in fear. But this was not fear for me; no; I knew I could survive an explosion a bomb like that could make for I had many times. But I had no idea if the HOMRA members beside me could. "What is this?" I'm ripped out of my trance upon hearing Yata's curious voice but my (/c) and (e/c) eyes only widened upon seeing that the disguised bomb was no longer on the sidewalk but was instead in Yata's hand. His hazel-brown eyes narrowed as he stared at the toy parrot in curiosity, turning it over in his hands and squeezing it ever so slightly causing my whole being to go into shock but I came to my senses quick enough to go and snatch the parrot away from the young vanguards curious hands. But just as i reached out to grab it, the bomb was yanked from my reach and into the air above Yata's head a she stared at me with a teasing grin. He didn't know what he was doing. "Yata give it back! This isn't a game!" I yell, jumping up to grab the parrot once more only for it to be raised above my reach once more. "Yata, please!" I beg, "you don't know what you're doing!" I cry out, my words coming out in frantic spurts. My (h/l) (h/c) hair suddenly blows across my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes temporarily making it hard to see but I could feel my heart skip a beat for I could see that the parrot had began to slowly swell in Yata's hand. The young vanguard raised an eyebrow and lowered his arm to study the toy parrot that was swelling with every moment, and as it did I could feel my body shake with rage. "We're done now" Tatara's voice chirped from behind me, placing his hand on my shoulder but it was already too late for me. "Dammit!" I snarl, my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes suddenly burning and my canines suddenly sharpening as I snatched the swelling parrot from Yata's grip into my own. Then, as quickly as I could I darted out into the busy streets of Shizume city, leaving the yells of Yata, Izumo, Tatara, and an angry Mikoto to chase at my heels as they called out for me. My (h/l) (h/c) hair flew behind me as I pushed past the people that occupied the sidewalks, running out into the street with the faint sound of multiple engines roaring behind me. Only I knew this wasn't HOMRA. "Here kitty, kitty~!" a voice laughed, the laugh was deep and gruff and was followed by two other laughs along with catcalls that caused my eye to twitch. But I paid them no mind. I didn't have time to. My hand slammed against the cool metal hood of a car as I held on to the parrot tightly and hoisted myself over the speeding car and into the next lane. Honks and shouts blared in my ears causing me to wince and my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes to narrow in aggravation. But that didn't stop me from racing towards the tall building that was in my sight. I knew that if I could just get to the top of that tall building that the explosion wouldn't be able to reach the people from below, especially HOMRA. I pick up my pace, dodging yet another car that had no intention of slowing down as my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes scanned my surroundings trying to think of a way out myself. I couldn't teleport for the time I arrived at the location would be the time it would have originally taken me to the get there on foot, ending with the bomb exploding mid-trip. "(Y/n)!" I'm suddenly ripped out of my thoughts by the sound of of my name being yelled and a sudden explosion as well as the taste of blood in my mouth. I hadn't even realized I was biting the inside of my cheek. My eyes then dart to the direction of which the explosion came from until a sudden heat caused my (h/l) (h/c) hair to blow in front of my now narrowed (f/c) and (e/c) eyes, both being protected by my arms that I used to cover my face.But my eyes start to widen slightly upon seeing something other than that green explosion of fire that had erupted in the lane next to me moments ago, pieces of road and sidewalk falling to the ground like rain. A figure was in the flame and as soon as they came into full view I immediately bared my teeth and snarled. It was a green clansmen. And he was walking right towards me with two things that made my head spin in confusion. They weren't weapons and they weren't encased in flickering green flames. No, in his hands was a steel collar with a metal chain for a leash and what I could only guess was a syringe that was filled with what looked like a sickening dark green liquid. My eyes suddenly began losing their edge as I stepped back, my footing making me seem as if I was nauseous. Maybe...I was? One of my hands reach up to cover my nose as a putrid smell started to fill the air and I knew exactly where it came from. The syringe. "I won't bite little kitty" the man sang, his voice was deep and gruff just like the man who had called me kitty before..."You were the one on the motorcycle" I hiss, my words coming out in small strained words than a hiss. What was in that syringe to make me feel this way? I backed up as the green clansmen came closer. Both of my hands covered my nose now, the swelling toy parrot being long forgotten in my pocket. "Now, don't struggle to much and this won't hurt a bit" The green clansmen said, his black boots walking across the patches of rubble that were once clear pieces of road. And every step he took towards me I could feel my head spin out of control. How could I do anything like this? "Y-Yata!" I call out, my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes burning on and off, turning from their usual colors to bright yellow in seconds, it was like flickering lights but it made it even harder to see past the smoke that was still evident in the air. "Yata!!!" I call out again, louder this time but my cry ends with a shocked gasp and a muffled scream as a pair of rough, warm hands gripped my shoulders tightly to keep me in place as another set of hands covered my mouth with a rag that had a familiar smell. I had forgotten about the other two clansmen."Let me go!" I scream, my words being muffled as my eyes continued to flicker only for them to go completely (f/c) and (e/c) as a loud yelp escaped my lips. "Shut up and stay still" another deep voice hissed in my ear as I fell to my knees, my arms throbbing in pain as the man behind me teased me by twisted them to almost impossible angles. "(Y/n)!? (Y/n) where are you dammit!?" I could hear Yata's voice yell my name desperately only making me struggle just to cry out and whimper as the man behind me twisted my arms once more. Why had I run off? Suddenly, my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes widened as I felt something wet stream down my cheeks and it only made me more surprised to see that the mysterious water was coming down from my eyes like rain. When was the last time I was like this? "I can't believe this is our threat" one voice spoke "that idiot was in the infirmary for two weeks, I wouldn't not call her a threat" another voice answered. "I heard he tried getting friendly" the first voice said, a deep chuckle escaping it "I mean, who wouldn't? Isn't that right kitten?" the voice whispered harshly, causing me to jump as a sudden warmth ran up my thigh. "Don't touch me!" I snap "Only Yata and my king can touch there!" (hahaha) I growl, my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes flickering to a faint yellow as I spoke through gritted teeth. But as soon as the words left my lips I could feel my eyes widen. What did I just say? I immediately put my head down as a blush spreads across my cheeks like wildfire, my (h/l) (h/c) hair covering most of my face and hopefully my cheeks. I didn't know what to expect after that but I didn't expect to cough violently as I yelped in pain at the sharp pain that ran through my side as the nearest clansmen rammed his boot into my side. Then, my (h/l) (h/c) is yanked up causing me to cry out in pain as another sharp pain went through my side. "Enough Akio" a voice said "just take the fake bomb and put this collar on her after getting rid of the old one" and upon hearing those words my head snapped up as my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes widened. "I-It was a fake?" I choke out, my multi-colored eyes watching as head green clansmen standing above me thru the steel collar and chain to the clansmen behind me with a loud clank before he dropped to one knee and lifted up my chin with his thumb. "Of course kitten" the man cooed, "how else would we get you to wander off?" My eyes widened at his question only making him chuckle as the clansmen behind me put on the steel collar, giving it a hard yank making me gasp and choke as my head fell towards the ground once more, but not all the way. "Now, now" the man above me said, moving so that he forcefully held up my head, giving him full exposure of my neck as he held up the syringe "try not to scream to loud okay?" he laughed. All I did was grit my teeth as I let out a loud snarl, but I knew better. I knew that he wouldn't wait for me to stay still and I knew that one wrong prick could leave me to suffer depending on what was in the deadly smelling syringe. Then, as the clansmen tightened his grip on me and moved the syringe closer, I closed my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes as I gritted my teeth waiting for pain. But nothing came and all because the sound of heels echoed throughout the empty street to which I resided. "Shit" the man holding my neck mumbled, his grip becoming looser and looser until it was finally gone all together along with the syringe. "Scepter 4" he breathed out, and sure enough as my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes trailed from the gravel beneath me to the space around me I immediately knew he was right. Upon first glance all I could make out was thigh-high, low heeled black boots with metallic plates attached to the nose end. but as my eyes trailed up I could see that the boots led up to a curvaceous body that wore a white longsleeved shirt underneath a form-fitting blue overcoat with prominent gold and black lining. Beneath that was a dark blue mini dress that crept all the way up the woman's thighs, I could even feel myself blush at how exposed she was. Then, my eyes finally scanned her face, and I was amazed at how beautiful the woman really was. She had bright blue eyes and long, feminine eyelashes along with shiny blonde hair with bangs that were clipped to the right side of her head, the rest of her hairstyle I could not see. "I suggest you let that girl go before you have to face the consequences" the woman spoke, her posture straight and serious as she gave a blank yet intimidating stare to the three clansmen surrounding me, her hand placed on the sword that lay within its sheath that was tied to her side. "Scepter 4 will not tolerate such chaos and disorder in our community, do I make myself perfectly clear?" she asked, the sound of her footsteps getting closer and closer as she spoke. The man that had been previously holding my neck was now standing, the syringe tucked safely in his pocket as he crossed his arms and I could practically hear the frown in his voice. "Crystal clear" he replied "so in that case we'll be taking our property elsewhere" he said in a matter-o-factly tone, turning his head to one of the clansmen behind me, giving them a nod only for them to yank the chain back, causing me to choke violently as my body shook and my head hung low. "I don't belong to any of you assholes" I snarl, only earning me a harsh kick to the stomach that made a choked off cry of pain escape my lips as I writhed on the ground with pain. If only this smell wasn't around, I would have killed all of them. The woman was now within arm's length from the first clansmen, her blue eyes narrowed into even more of a hateful glare as she crossed her arms, her tone coming across as very serious and very deadly. "I'm going to repeat this one more time" she said cooly "let the girl go or face the consequences of me and my associates" and as soon as the words left her lips I could hear the sound of two more footsteps and when I looked up they both belonged to blue clansmen, both with a hand on their sword. "Come on Inari" the clansmen behind me said "just forget the stupid girl and let the king figure out a new plan himself" he practically hissed, I knew he was trying to keep quiet but had ultimately failed. The first clansmen clenched his fists and I could tell that he was thinking but by the angered growl he let out I knew what his decision was. "You better watch your fucking back" he snarled, pointing at me as the grip on the steel leash vanished along with the grip on my arms and as he had begun to walk away "we're out to kill kitten" and with those final words the green clansmen ran off towards his fallen motorcycle. Then, in a melody of roaring engines and smoke all three clansmen were riding down the road and out of sight leaving me with one single word rattling through my skull. Kill. What did he mean by that? They weren't supposed to kill me...they couldn't use me dead...could they? "Are you alright?" I'm suddenly ripped out of my thoughts by the sound of a feminine voice and the sight of a smooth hand that reached out to me. "O-oh, yes I'm fine" I reply, ignoring the offering hand and getting up by myself as I undid the steel collar, dropping it to the floor and rubbing my burning throat as well as caressing my aching side. Then, I kept my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes trained on the floor as I held my arm close to my body, mentally thanking Tatara for buying me the warm (f/c) jacket that kept me warm. "Tatara...Tatara!?" I immediately call out the man's name, walking past the woman in blue and the two other blue's behind her as I called the young man's name over and over again. "Oh my god, oh my god where is he?" I ask myself, knowing good and well that wherever he was the rest of HOMRA was there too. But before I could yell Tatara's name once more I was interrupted by the feeling of a hand on my shoulder and a soft voice speaking directly behind me. "Please don't worry" the feminine voice said "we found Mr. Totsuka and the rest of the red clan searching the downtown area looking for you. It took some convincing but their in the van" "r-really?" I ask hopefully, turning to face the female blue clansmen only to see her nod as she removed her hand from my shoulder and walk around me, her heels clicking against the gravel as she walked in an unknown direction. But I still followed her. It only took a matter of seconds before a blue and white van appeared in my line of sight. It looked much bigger than an average van, the roof being covered in strange machines, almost like satellite dishes. And as I looked harder I could see that the double doors in the back were wide open and standing there was two more blue clansmen, both working to unlock the handcuffs that bound each member of HOMRA's wrists together. "Yata! Yata!" I call out the young vanguards name as I wave and a wide smile appears on my features, it only took me calling his name once for him to snap his head towards me. "(Y/n)!?" he called out, and I smiled even wider as I raced towards him, wrapping my arms around his neck and placing my lips on his cheek, giggling as I felt his cheeks warm up against my lips. "(Y/n)!?" My name was shouted once more as I felt multiple arms pull me away from Yata and into their own embraces. "Are you hurt? What's that red ring around your neck!? Oh, no your jacket is all dirty!" Tatara's voice rang out in my ear as he moved my (h/l) (h/c) hair away from my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes, checking for any tiny scratch his eyes could land on. "I'm fine Tatara" I laugh, smiling widely as I patted his head reassuringly, just like he always did to me. But before I could escape from Tatara's grip on my own, my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes widen upon the feeling of being swept up into a new embrace, but something about this embrace was familiar. "How bad did they hurt you?" a gruff voice asked, his voice low and demanding as his arms squeezed my waist tightly, his fire red hair tickling my nose. "I just got kicked really hard a couple times. Nothing to worry about Mikoto" I answer honestly, clutching his black jacket in my grip and shivering as I felt him sigh against my neck. "I'm still going to kill them" he answered and I could feel a small smile appear on my features as I giggled "well I wish you the best of luck" I joke only to feel Mikoto's lips form into a faint smile as he pressed them against my neck. But just as I smiled wider than before my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes widened suddenly upon feeling something enclose around both of my wrists and hearing the sound of a loud click of a key in a lock. "H-huh?" I stutter, my eyes narrowing slightly as I raised my arms over Mikoto's head to get a full view of them right before me only to click my tongue and look away as my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes narrowed to a glare. Handcuffs. "Damn" I hiss, shaking my wrists slightly just to hear the rattle of the chains that reminded me of my toys back at the bar, my troubles momentarily fading away at the amusing glimmer and noise the handcuffs made. But before I could bring myself back into reality and ask questions, someone did it for me. "What the hell is that!?" Yata yelled "this wasn't part of the fucking deal! You said that you knew where she was, nothing more nothing less!" he seethed, pointing an accusing finger towards the female blue clansmen who kept a calm demeanor as she quickly dropped the key into one of her pockets before turning towards the anger vanguard. "I understand your anger and concern" she said calmly, I wouldn't be surprised if I knew those words had no emotion behind them, "but even if Ms. Totsuka had no part in this attack, we need to know why they were after her in the first place" the woman said. I kicked the broken gravel from under me as I puffed out my cheeks in a slight pout. Why couldn't I be normal? "You're not taking her anywhere!" Yata growled, clenching his fists as he took a step towards the female clansmen who kept her composure "we take (Y/n) and we go home!" Yata snapped. Then, just as he was within arms length of the female clansmen I moved my (h/l) (h/c) hair aside and stepped up beside the female clansmen. "I'll go" I say sweetly, my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes staring up at the female clansmen only to give her a sweet smile before turning to Yata and the rest of HOMRA who looked as if they didn't approve of my decision. "I'll go, give them the information they need and then I'll leave" I say simply, making sure to give HOMRA a reassuring smile as I spoke "they won't hurt me...right?" I say the last part with a nervous laugh as I stared up at the female clansmen just to see the tiniest hint of a reassuring smile as she shook her head "of course not" she said sincerely and I nodded. "See?" I say kindly, walking up to Anna and Tatara, squatting down to reach the small girl's height before placing my lips on her forehead sweetly. But as I did this my eyes focused on an angry and glaring Mikoto and I spoke words that rested my case. "I'll be back in time to cook dinner with Tatara, I'll even make that soup that you like" I smile and I knew that as soon as those words left my lips that he couldn't say no. He paused, his amber eyes scanning the ground before he narrowed his eyes at the female blue clansen and growled "If she comes back with any marks it's your lives, understand?" and without waiting for an answer he sighed and closed his eyes before digging in his pocket for a cigarette and calmly lighting it with his aura. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I squeal, quickly getting up to jump and place my lips on Mikoto's cheek for a split second before bowing respectfully "I promise I'll be home!" I say happily. All Mikoto did was grunt as he kept his eyes closed, I could still tell that he was angry, so I figured to leave before he changed his mind. Suddenly, I feel a warm hand on my shoulder and I look behind me only to see that it was none other than the female clansmen with the ocean blue eyes and shiny blonde hair. "This way" she said calmly and started to guide me away from HOMRA and to the open doors of the large van, pushing my back gently to get me inside before ordering me to sit down on a cold steel bench that put shivers down my spine. With one final look I raised up my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes before smiling and waving the best I could to the either angry or worried looking clansmen. 'I'll be back!" I call out just before the doors close with a loud slam and I slowly put down my hands and put them in my lap as I heard the van engine roar to life. "I promise I'll come back."

-TimeSkip-

"We've arrived Ms. Totsuka" I grunt quietly under my breath upon feeling my handcuffs being yanked towards the entrance of the van, forcing me to step out of the large contraction and into the open hair, the cool breeze blowing my (h/l) (h/c) hair as it pleased. The sun was still bright and high in an almost cloudless sky causing me my spine to tingle at the sudden warmth. It was always funny to me, how something as far away and dangerous as the sun could look so close and beautiful. "Come on, move it" a voice said, and I was suddenly pulled out of my thoughts by a sudden revoked warmth and sunlight and when I look over my shoulder I see the reason why. The two male clansmen from before stood behind me, their hands still on their swords as they stared down at me with blank stares, the sun only peeking out from the top of their heads. "O-oh, right" I stutter out, facing in front of me once more as I started taking steps in the direction they wanted to and as soon as I did I could feel my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes widen. It was magnificent. For years Scepter 4 has always been trying to find way to track me and I had, had many run in with them, but never once had I imagined that their headquarters would look like this. From the outside, it looked like a western-style two story building with marble white bricks and what looked to be a pale green roof along with many windows and beautiful carvings and designs in the bricks. It was then completed with a wide yard surrounded by a beautiful steel fence. I was so focused on the building that I hadn't even noticed the rock in my path, but before I could even look down my feet noticed it for me. "Eep!" I squeak, quickly covering my face as I could feel myself fall but as I waited for impact, nothing came. Instead all I felt was something warm around my shoulders and a heartbeat pounding against my ear. "H-huh?" I stutter, hearing the melody of my chains clanking together as I raised my wrists up to move my (h/c) hair to the side but as soon as I did I could feel a faint blush start to burn my cheeks. "Are you alright?" the boy asked, his shoulder length orange hair blowing slightly in the wind as he smiled and as he did my (f/c) and (e/c) eyes focused on both the female clansmen and the other male clansmen until they finally looked down in embarrassment.

"What had I gotten myself into?"
