A Painful Melody

Chapter 22- First council meeting

3rd person POV

"Hey, my successor... Are you in danger?" A loud voice made Akagawa's whole body become on guard. She knew this voice.

Then within a moment, she was no longer in the comfort of Ayaha's hold and her bedsheets. Akagawa stood in a pitch black room, with only a white throne in the middle. Akagawa put one hand on her heart, the other behind her back and respectfully bowed.

"Of course, but not endangered enough to get help from you." The male's voice boomed, loving Akagawa's response and the voice that was carrying it out.

"Do you regret it?" A blurred figure flickered onto the white throne. Akagawa wished she could use her eyes in this domain, so she would have known what god had the capabilities more superior to the small portion of her eyes.

"That was the past, I do not have a single regret nor shall I create regrets." The flickering began to slow down, as the figure began to focus in Akagawa's eyes.

"Beware of the red flames that trap you beneath the chair,
It is up to you and two others accompanying you,
to either let my eyes take over you,
or let you succeed. Remember what's dear to you, as that will be your guide.
Then blue, black, yellow, green and pink shall blur your path.
For thy name will be revealed with wrath.
The answers you seek will only seem further,
as you dig closer. As well as the memories,
you may falsely perceive...
Those who blurred will without a doubt cause an event to occur. It's up to you, on how you break.
The lives in your palm must dance,
before time runs out in this race.
Just as everything may seem safe,
a life lost, without a trace.
Despair only awaits...
Ho-" Just as the figure began to clear, his voice slowly trailed off and Akagawa was beginning to wake up.

Akagawa opened her eyes and Shuichi flew back, hitting his head on the nearby wall. He rubbed his head, embarrassed of getting injured just because Akagawa opened her eyes. The red headed girl wanted to get up, but beneath the covers her limbs were either tangled or wrapped around Ayaha's.

Shuichi must have saw, causing him to become flustered. The silver haired male cleared his throat, keeping a hand covering half of his face to hide the bright red blush on his face. Ayaha slowly opened her eyes as well, her green orbs scanning the situation.

The color of Akagawa's hair, was splattered across Ayaha's face. She immediately got up, "I'm sorry. I moved a lot in my sleep and we woke up like that, I'm sorry!" Akagawa rubbed her nape.

"It's fine, I was moving as well." Akagawa chuckled, as Shuichi began to walk out of the room. He was going to go cool his face because he was feeling extremely hot.

"What do you want?" Akagawa tched, seeing Akashi in the corner of her black eyes.

"Since you're officially my vice, we have a meeting during homeroom through 4th period." Akashi held his hand out, waiting for Akagawa to grab it.

Akagawa only stared at Akashi's hand. Was he trying to be polite and escort her? What was he trying to pull? All her involvement with him has made her suspicious and now that she found out someone was following her, Akagawa was fully alert and unreasonably careful.

"What are you trying to pull?" Akagawa not only pushed his hand aside, but managed to pull Akashi down to her height. She wasn't that short, but that didn't change the fact that Akagawa was shorter than Akashi.

"I'm merely interested, the girl who has the most irritating voice, but the most stunning eyes." Akashi smirked, letting her eyes meet his as he hoped for her to show him those eyes.
