A Painful Melody

Chapter 12- Storage Closet

3rd person POV

Akashi didn't know how to feel. He lost this girl. Yet, his body moved as if it was instinct and cushioned her fall. Then, immediately after she protected him.

Akagawa collapsed onto Akashi and he sat up. Her heart beat was beating quickly due to their quick match, but the problem was that it was slowing down too fast. He pulled out his phone and texted his driver to come quickly.

He wasn't going to let Akagawa die. After all, she's extremely entertaining. As much as he hated her voice, and everything that came with it...

She let him taste the enjoyment of his favorite sport. Akagawa forced Akashi to use his emperor eye constantly, had his heart race, his eyes hurt and he enjoyed her surprises. Even though he lost, it wasn't as bad as he thought...

Losing to her...

Shuichi picked Akagawa bridal style, "What are you doing? She needs medical help, Harigae's heart beat is slowing down." Akashi's demanding voice rung in Shuichi's ears.

Shuichi shook his head, "She's fine. It's just an after-effect of her eyes." His legs stopped due to the intimidating aura behind him.

"I said she needed medical help. No one defies me peasant." Akashi scowled.

Shuichi sighed, "I accept orders from Riga-sama and Riga-sama only. Besides, it will harm my duty of protecting Riga-sama if her eyes and condition got found out by the doctors." Akashi grabbed his scissors and was about to throw them, but the silver haired male disappeared from his eyes.

' I need to be stronger. '

^-^-^

"I want you to see this beautiful world, Tadao." Akagawa clenched Shuichi's hands.

Shuichi gripped her hand tighter, "You don't have to sacrifice your eyes for me. It's not your fault that I'm blind." Tears formed in Shuichi's red eyes.

Akagawa's blue orbs were filled with determination, "It's fine! Like I said, I want you to see this world. Now, help me push open the door."

There was no turning back. The golden doors in front of Akagawa and Shuichi...

Changed their lives...

Forever.

^-^-^

Shuichi just wanted to be away from Akashi. He was well known after all. Not to mention his father was the man on top of the economy. If they stayed close to Akashi for too long, then for sure people will try to investigate and find out about Akagawa.

He couldn't allow that.

Shuichi pushed open the storage closet and locked it behind him. He laid out some mats and placed Akagawa on top of it. He turned on the lights, and took off his shirt.

Biting his lip, and drawing blood he went closer to Akagawa. He softly lifted her head. Shuichi pressed his lips against hers, and the blood was transferred to her mouth and she forcefully swallowed.

After a few seconds, Akagawa gained consciousness and wrapped her arms around Shuichi's neck. Shuichi felt her warmth return as well as Akagawa's heartbeat.

"Everytime..." Akagawa hugged tighter.

"Riga, are you feeling better?" Shuichi tightened his grip as well.

Akagawa laughed slightly, "Yes, I'll have to be eating a lot of meat after this though." She broke the hug and Shuichi grabbed her hand.

"What were you thinking?" Shuichi's blue orbs looked at Akagawa's black ones.

That was extremely reckless, Akagawa had a full 30 minute match nonstop with Akashi, used the eye nonstop, and even held the weight of a net that was probably 10x her weight.

"You lost. I just wanted to avenge you, though don't get me wrong. I had fun with my match with Akashi-san." Shuichi sighed and went to get his shirt.

"Next time, tell me if you're going to use your eyes for more than 5 minutes before you do it." Akagawa swore to and Shuichi buttoned his shirt.

Akagawa opened the door, "Thanks as always." She walked out of the room, as Shuichi put the mats back where they were before. He ran his hand down his silver hair...

"This isn't good for my heart." He clenched his fists.
