Rashomun and the Wolf (Akutagawa x Reader) <BOOK 1>

Chapter 9

Akutagawa grunted in frustration.

"Still can't get ahold of her?" You ask, setting a bag on his desk. You take off your coat and look outside. "Maybe the agency got her phone and took the battery? Or she's just ignoring your calls? Whatever you do, don't call too much. You don't want to sound desperate."

He glared at you and looked back at his computer. "We still have a tracker on her. We could follow her?"

"Nahhh. She's a teenager. She needs her space."

"What's gotten you in such a good mood? Did you find some togo ramen or some limited edition Pocky?"

"Well both. But I'm happy for a different reason."

"Is it the fact Dazai's here and it'll be easier to keep an eye on us now?"

"Well it's not as good as that... I FOUND THE FIRST VOLUME OF BLACK BUTLER!!!! It's supposed to be super rare!"

He gave you a look. "I'd rather hear Dazai's stupid theories then you fangirling over a stupid manga." He stood up and walked out of the room. You follow. When you reach the staircase to the torture room, you could hear Dazai's suicide song. Akutagawa wrapped Rashomun around his neck, harshly.

Dazai smirked and used his own ability to dissolve in blue particles. "Oh you were here." He smirked.

"I believe you know what manner of fate awaits those who are chained here." Akutagawa said as Rashomun disappeared underneath his coat.

"This brings back memories. I remember when you two were still rookies." He said mostly to Akutagawa. You twitch.

Akutagawa doesn't like talking about the past very much.

"You have committed great sins." Akutagawa ignored his comment. "You abandoned your mission, vanished, only to comeback as an enemy of the Port Mafia. It's hard to believe coming from a former executive."

"And your former superior."

Without any sign of hesitation, Akutagawa punched Dazai's jaw. He stepped back and cracked his knuckles. You saw blood shoot from Dazai's mouth and you clasp your hands over your mouth. Akutagawa didn't show any sign of attack. Gin said he probably wouldn't lay a finger on Dazai. Clearly she was way off.

Dazai smirked.

"Not even you are invincible." Akutagawa pointed out. "As long as I don't use my Rashomon, I can kill you whenever I want."

"I see. You've climbed up the ranks. I shouldn't tell you now, but it was a challenge to train you. You were such a slow learner and with that useless ability of yours."

Akutagawa's fist tightened. "Your act won't last much longer. When it's gone, we'll obliterate the Agency, and seize the tiger. You execution will then follow. Look forward to learning of your organization, and your subordinate's demise."

"I wonder if you'll manage that. My new subordinate is far better then you."

I'm that instant, Akutagawa turned and punched Dazai again. More blood spewed from his mouth as Akutagawa turned.
"Y/N. Let's get going. We don't have time to waste with the likes of him."

To shocked to move, you fall to your knees.

"Fine. I'll keep an eye on our target and tell you when to return. Hurry up and collect yourself."

You nod and hear his foot steps fade.

"I didn't think he'd punch me as little as he did." Dazai wondered aloud. "I thought he was strong."

"Say something like that again and I'll attack you." You mumble, standing.

"Oh? So I'm guessing you two are now an item?"

You twitch. Why was Dazai trying to get into your head? Was this his way of recruiting? Cause it really sucked.

"Back off. My love life has nothing to do with your situation so, butt out of it."

"I see Akutagawa has been teaching you something."

You roll your eyes and look him in the eye. "I've never seen him so pissed. He's really sensitive to hearing about you. If anyone says something bad about you he says my name and expects me to react."

"And do you?"

"Obviously. I've had to attack Chuuya, Higuchi, I almost pinched Mori." Your phone vibrates and you look at a text from Akutagawa. "Please try to be more considerate for him." You request as you walk to you office.

Akutagawa was waiting for you and smiled when you arrived. He tossed you your dark brown coat and started walking.
You walk out of the building. Akutagawa held his phone close to his ear so you didn't ask where you were going. You both hid behind an eighteen wheeler and stalked the police station. Soon Kyouka walked into the scene followed by Atsushi.

"Are they on a date?" You whisper as quietly as possible. He ignored you.

"I've hade more then enough fun." Kyouka stated. "Besides, if I return to the Mafia, I'll be executed."

You see Rashomun impale Atsushi. You run to Akutagawa's side realizing that was you cue.

"Execute? We wouldn't execute you..." Akutagawa snarled.

Kyouka looked back in fear. She meets your eyes. And for the first time since joining the Mafia, you feel pity.

"You fulfilled your mission."

Cars blocked the area.

" 'I got the plushie I wanted.' " He mocked her as she dropped the stuffed rabbit she was holding and fell to the ground.
"A transmitter is implanted in your body. We know your location at all times."

Kyouka's whole face fills with fear as Atsushi's blood drips on her face. The wheeler you were behind earlier pulled up. It's doors open and Akutagawa throws Atsushi inside roughly.

He kneeled down, and grabbed Kyouka's hair with brute force. "We're going home now." He spat as the doors closed.

Kyouka opened the doors to Atsushi's car. You slide out of your jacket, prepared for combat. Your short sleeved grey T-shirt and jeans would be perfect to keep both of them off of Akutagawa.

"You came to save me?" He managed to say.

"Y/N. Only interfere if something happens to me." Akutagawa teased.

"Right. So I do my normal assassin thing?"

"No. Do not interfere. This is my kill."

You nod. "Anything you want, Akutagawa."
