Protection Not Needed

Akashi's resolution

Chapter 14- A.C.T

Miuki Izura stood in front of the student council's door. She was sweating. She was nervous, she was afraid.

"Miuki-san, run now and tell Akashi to hide !"

That words echoed in her mind. She wondered what is happening. She wondered who is that all men and why does Hisashi-san asked her to tell Akashi to hide. Her hands reached for the doorknob but then the door was opened. Akashi looked at her questioningly.

"What is it Izura ?" he asked.

"Err, um, um ..." she couldn't answer. She's too scared to tell the absolute red-headed student council president.

"Where's Ryuuki ?" he questioned.

"Akashi-kun, actually ..."

He watched her, waiting for further explanations. "Actually ?"

"Akashi-kun I'm so sorry but actually I was threatened by 12 suspicious men in black suits! They forced me to call Hisashi-san over or my family will be killed! I did it and Hisashi-san told me to tell you to run and hide! I don't know what happened to her but I think she's in danger! I'm so sorry !" she revealed the truth. Akashi frowned.

"Where is she ?" he asked.

"The gym !"

Akashi walked to the gym, still calm. When he entered,

Empty.

He walked further and saw blood on the floor. "Ryuuki ..." he muttered.

Ryuuki's POV

"Ow ahh !" I groaned as they threw me inside a cell. My thigh hurts like shit and I'm so tired and exhausted!

"Ryuu-chan ...?" a familiar voice asked. I turned my head.

"Ruka !" I said and slowly crawled to her. Blood covered half of her face and she looked pale.

"Ryuu-chan you okay ?" she asked, smiling weakly.

"I'm okay, I mean i'm always okay. But you ..." I touched her face. Tears trickled down her cheek.

"Jin ... Jin got shot .." she wept and hugged her knees.

"Jin ?" I asked.

"Storm ." she answered. I hugged her. "I'll get us out of here somehow. I'll save everyone. I'll save Kazuki. I'll destroy KuroHana. I'll save you ." I convinced. I've never seen Ruka so down like this.

"Jin confessed to me. He wanted to go out on a date once this thing is settled. But i'm afraid he won't make it !" Ruka cried. I patted her back, trying to calm her down.

"Have faith Ruka! He will make it! He's the strongest spy right? He's strong! He can go through that, don't worry !" I said.

"Ryuu-chan. They're going to use Neutron ."

"What!? I thought it was destroyed ?!"

"They retrieved it again. They are going to use it on people ."

I cursed. KuroHana is crossing the line!

Normal POV

Akashi sat on his bed and his eyes caught the sight of Ryuuki's katana beside it. He reached for it and unsheathed the katana. "It's heavy... she's sure is strong ." he commented and smiled automatically.

His phone vibrated. Caller ID: Withheld number. He frowned but answered it anyway.

"Akashi Seijuurou ." a male voice echoed.

He almost smirked. "Well, look who called ."

"Huh, calm as always huh ." the person commented.

"You said like you know me well ."

"Of course I do. My information is always so accurate ."

"So, why do you need me for, KuroHana's president, Ishida Saburo ."

"Huh! You researched me well. But that won't make me let go of your girl. I need her for the Neutron experiment. Come and face me for real if you dare !"

"Note to yourself. I'm absolute. I know the entire future, it is but a simple matter to change it. I don't have any business with you any longer ." Akashi then cut off the call. His grip on the katana tightened.

/(Q.Q)\

"Wait Storm-sama! You are not supposed to get up yet !" the nurse gently pushed Storm back to his bed.

"Don't get in my way !" Storm almost shouted. Suddenly, Blizzard came in and forced Storm to lie down on his bed.

"Blizzard! Don't interfere! I need to save her! I need to save Ruka !" Storm shouted desperately.

Blizzard frowned. "I know! But that little girl is there with her! She was caught! So believe in Ryuuki that she would take care of Ruka !"

Storm fell silent. "Ryuuki was caught ?"

"Our client, Akashi Seijuurou, came to us just now. He told us the details and we agreed to help him make an ambush at KuroHana ." Blizzard explained. Storm calmed down.

Ryuuki's POV

Ruka was fast asleep. I don't know what time it is now since it's so dark in this cell. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't even close my eyes. I'm worried about everyone. About Ruka, about Storm, about Akashi and about everyone in A.C.T's base. After a while, the cell door was opened and someone was pushed in.

"Kazuki ." I said when I saw the person. He went to Ruka.

"What did they do to her ?" he asked. Hmm? Kazuki's acting weird. He's not evil at all, instead he sounds over-protective now.

"She was hit by a gun. What about you ?" I answered.

He breathed out a sigh of relief. "I thought you're the bodyguard but how come you're here ?"

"Shut up Kazuki. I can't fight 12 armed men with me unarmed ."

He chuckled. "Ryuuki ." he called.

"What ?" I asked. Kazuki is really weird now, he's so kind. I mean like, he's the villain isn't he? So why ...

"Do you want to know about the Neutron Tragedy ?" he asked.

"Why all of a sudden ?"

"I think my time will come. Where I can't protect Ruka, you or anybody anymore ."

"Kazuki. You're seriously okay ?"

"Why? Am I too sweet for you to handle ?" he raised an eyebrow, smiling at me.

I slapped his arm. "Not in my whole lifetime! I'm not even interested in you! I have only –" I cleared my throat, blushing. Thank God I stopped my words. Kazuki laughed.

"Heh, falling in love already ?" he asked.

"Shut up old man !"

"I am your babysitter too actually ." He leaned against the wall.

My mouth dropped open. "Triple really !?"

He smiled. "And actually, I'm Ruka's elder brother ."

"WHAAATTTT !? I mean like, you're so fierce and so-not-gentleman yet you are my babysitter and you're the gentle, beautiful hacker Harakuri Ruka's brother !?" I shrieked. This is so big news to me. Kazuki is not fit to be a brother or a baby sitter!

"What do you mean so-not-gentleman !?" he was angry but then he relaxed. "That's why I want you to hear the full story. The truth ."

I smirked. The truth. What truth? My world are already full of lies. The truth huh...

[[Author's Note: I'm so so so so sorry about this story. Kazuki is supposed to be the villain but suddenly the president appears and Kazuki became a good guy and and um um... THIS STORY IS CONFUSING I KNOOWW (T_T) I'm so sorry and this may be soo boring so I'm sooo sorry (Q.Q)]]
