A Painful Melody

Chapter 38- Reunited

3rd person POV

Akagawa coughed, blood splattering all over the cement floor. Nijio's grin grew wider as he saw Akagawa in pain, "Why won't you show it to me? You showed it to him!" He grabbed her red hair and pulled up.

"Akashi Seijuro, who is he to you?" He yanked her hair and her face slammed into the ground.

Akagawa refused to use her eyes even then, but her throat completely dried out and she couldn't say a single word. Akashi was a classmate. The captain of the basketball team. The president of the student council.

Though that truly didn't answer her question, she let him see her eyes and even had a match with Akashi. Using the powers of her eyes. At the time it was for revenge, but Akagawa was never that thoughtless.

"Oh, it looks like someone's here." The doors were rapidly being knocked on, warning Nijio that someone was there.

"Don't forget, our play date isn't over." He winked and kissed the top of her forehead. Akagawa began to rub the spot, get off.

Gunshots were heard from behind the door and Akagawa snapped out of her current state. She grabbed the edge of the door and weakly left the room, Nijio forgot to lock it.

Akagawa walked down the halls, away from the sound of the gunshots and screams. She leaned on the walls for support, unintentionally leaving a blood trail. Akagawa was beginning to lose conscious, she's been in this state for almost 4 hours and she knew her time is ticking.

Akagawa saw red right before she passed out, the figure flashed in her eyes and caught her before she fell. Akashi clenched her to his body, "They did this... to you within 4 hours?!" Akashi's body began to tremble with rage.

"Now is not the time, I need to bring Harigae and Tadao together." Akashi forced himself to calm his anger and broke the nearest window. He jumped, despite being on a high floor. Akashi was an emperor, this was nothing to him.

Hearing the distant voices behind him, Akashi pulled Akagawa closer to him and ran to where Shuichi was. He knew where the silver haired boy was, he was absolute.

"You better not let them get away!" Nijio's voice shook the building. He finally had Akagawa into his grasps, he wasn't going to let this opportunity go away. Though unfortunately for him, this was Akashi Seijuro he was up against.

"Akashi-san?.." Akagawa managed to say, looking at Akashi's glowing heterochromatic orbs. He smiled gently down at her weak figure.

"You're going to be fine now, Harigae." Akagawa weakly hugged him, whispering thanks before she completely lost consciousness.

' 3 minutes left. ' Akashi ran, not caring to catch his breath.

The doors slammed open and Akashi gently let Akagawa down, beside Shuichi. The silvered haired male immediately came back to conscious once he felt her presence. Though the injured girl beside him made Shuichi tear up, "I'm sorry, I wasn't able to protect you." tears dropped down his cheeks and dropped onto her face.

"How come Harigae hasn't woken up yet?" Akashi glared but Shuichi bit his lip drawing blood.

His eyes were still flashing red and blue but now isn't the time to be worrying about that. Shuichi leaned in and his lips met Akagawa's, Akashi stepped back. His chest clenching and he felt like his heart was going to burst.

Akagawa opened her eyes and hugged Shuichi, "Tadao... listen to my voice. Remember, you're... mine. No longer your mother's... pawn anymore. This is.. an order, don't fade..." Shuichi's eyes remained blue and stopped flickering but he held onto her closely.

"The rest.. is up to you." Shuichi wiped his tears and Akagawa passed out once more.
