A Painful Melody

Chapter 14- Answer

3rd person POV

As Akagawa made way through the hallway, she got looks of pity from the students. Akagawa partially why she's going to see him, after all Akashi did give her an order and she didn't obey.

Akagawa clenched her fists, ' No, he was in the wrong. You can't just get in a person's priv- ' She stopped herself. Didn't she do that a week ago?...

To Ayaha?..

Akagawa looked at the wooden doors with the sign saying Student Council on the side. She knocked, "Come in." When she opened the door, she saw Akashi sitting down on his chair.

He was leaning on one hand and a glare present on his face, "You sure took your time getting here. I've been waiting." Akagawa walked in, and closed the door behind her.

With a snap of his fingers, the window panels fell and the door locked. Akagawa only smirked, "Do you really think that will prevent me from escaping?" She hinted that she would try and kick down a window or the door.

"With your strength, I doubt it." Akashi stood up from his chair.

Akagawa stood unfazed, "So, what does the absolute student council president need with me?" Akashi grabbed her chin, and forced her to look at him.

"Because you displayed a beautiful pair of eyes, I'll allow you and only you to look me in the eye. Though, that's as lenient as I will be." Akashi's left eye flickered yellow.

"Should I feel honored?" Akagawa stood her ground.

"Why do you hide your eyes?" Akashi looked at her black orbs.

Akagawa smacked his hand away, which Akashi placed the metal of his scissors against her neck. He glared, "Answer me." He ordered.

"It's a curse. Those eyes only bring trouble." She glared.

Akashi pressed the blade a little harder, "Were you born with them?"

"No, sacrifice." Akagawa wasn't planning on telling the whole story. After all, she didn't know Akashi very well. If he was working with the people after her, then she would be giving valuable information.

"What did Tadao mean by there's an after effect for using them?" Akashi lowered his scissors, and glared. His eyes gave the hint that if she didn't answer, then there would be punishment.

"If I use my eyes for more than 20 minutes, I faint. The only way to bring me back is to supply me with compatible blood and a sense of warmth." Akagawa leaned against the wall.

Akagawa sighted, what did she get herself into? She just wanted to win the match, and now she's being interrogated by Akashi because of those eyes. She was right, these eyes only bring trouble.

"How did you get th-" Akashi was cut off by Akagawa pressing her lips against his.

She forced something down his throat, and Akashi felt his head spin. After a moment, he fell into a sleeping state. He collapsed into Akagawa's arms, "Sorry Akashi-san, I don't know who you are. That is true one question I certainly cannot answer." She brought him towards his desk and sat him on the chair.

As a response, the door unlocked and the windows opened. Akagawa was glad she kept a sleeping pill with her, she wasn't expecting to use it on him...

But life is always full of surprises.

"I love this story!" Akagawa snuggled in her blankets next to Shuichi.

The 6 year old children were ready to hear the story that Akagawa's mother was going to read. Both Shuichi and Akagawa loved this story.

The story about a god.

"Once upon a time, there was a god looking for a descendant to pass his skills to. This god wanted someone pure hearted, kind, determined, and full of hope." Akagawa's mother read.

Akagawa's blue orbs shimmered, "Are we qualified Okaa-chan?" Shuichi smiled.

He couldn't see, but his hearing was extremely good. He covered his red orbs with a smile shining on his face, "Are we?" He repeated.

Akagawa's mother ruffled both of Akagawa and Shuichi's hair, "Not yet. God is looking for good kids over 10 years old. You pass except for your age."

"Awww." Akagawa pouted.

Akagawa grabbed her bag, "Hey, Tadao. We need to go shopping later, I think we ran out of milk." The silver haired male nodded.

"Where ever you want me to be, I won't hesitate to be." He smiled.

A few girls who saw that smile fainted, but Akagawa rolled her eyes. She's been used to his attractiveness to the point of this being a daily thing. Ayaha put her shoes away, "Can I come along too? I could help carry some bags." Ayaha shifted uncomfortably under their glance.

"Of course. Though, please be on guard. We don't know if those guys will return." Akagawa whispered the last sentence in Ayaha's ear.

Ayaha nodded, "Im not afraid of them. I'm only afraid of losing you." Shuichi nodded in agreement.

Akagawa held back a laugh, "Thanks. Well then, the mall here we come." She headed out of the doors, with Ayaha and Shuichi following behind.
