A Painful Melody

Chapter 41- Hotel

3rd person POV

The sound of the helicopter was loud and swayed the nearby trees. Ayaha looked out her window and gasped, they arrived. She ran to the elevator and pressed the button to go to the roof.

Akashi, Akagawa and Shuichi stepped out of the helicopter as the vehicle door closed behind them and flew away afterwards. They took off their earmuffs and the elevator door dinged.

A girl with black hair and shimmering green orbs appeared inside the elevator and she ran to Akagawa. She practically threw herself at Akagawa and hugged her tightly, her small body shaking from worry. Her emerald eyes were tearing but Shuichi wiped them away.

"I had a bad feeling about how you were gone." She cried, hiding in Akagawa's neck.

The red haired girl chuckled lightly, she rubbed Ayana's back and hugged the girl back. "I'm sorry for worrying you but we're okay." Akagawa wondered how Ayaha knew something was wrong, but she was gonna save that for another time.

It just felt good to be safe from Shinu and guarded by two people. Just like expected. Akashi began walking towards the elevator, "We should begin heading towards the rest."

Shuichi agreed and still managed to stand between Akashi and Akagawa. Ayaha refused to let go of Akagawa so both of them kinda walked to the elevator still hugging.

"I'm so glad you're here, Manami has been giving them instructions and pissing me off for the last few hours." Akira's green eyes were dark, with a murderous intent hidden within her grassy eyes.

"That girl..." Akashi growled, he grabbed his phone and began running off in the direction of where she was. He just knew where she was, Akashi was absolute.

"Well, thanks for finding her. Though what happened to you after? Shuichi-kun created such a scene and made us all concerned." Akira looked at Akagawa, who was being squeezed by Ayaha.

"I had an urgent call from the emperor because it was troublesome to delay the flight anymore. That would be abusing his power. He's already spent money from his pocket for the tickets and reservations." Akagawa lied.

Akira bowed, "I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. Please tell him on behalf of the student body... mainly Manami.. I'm sorry."

A male walked from behind the bowing Akira and smacked her bum, "That was a satisfying sound, right Shuichi-san?" A deep voice chuckled.

"Don't include me with your death, Hiro-san." The black haired male got smacked in the face by Akira.

Ayaha gasped, "If it's a smack from my lady then I don't mind." He winked his purple orbs.

"He's only like this with me, I apologize for his idiocy. I'll take him with me now before his stupidity spreads." Akira grabbed his ear and forcefully pulled Masumi away.

"Since when were those two close?" Akagawa mumbled. Ayaha answered her question by saying they're dating. They started dating around the time Akagawa joined the council.

"Sadly, we don't share a room but I do know that you are near my room." Ayaha teared up.

Shuichi hummed, "What about me?" He asked, slightly scaring Ayaha.

"Do I scare you now?" A frown appeared on his handsome face.

Ayaha's face turned dark red, "T-that's n-not it..." her voice went an octave higher.

"W-we share a r-room..." Ayaha's face overheated and she nearly passed out. Well, she fainted..

"Since we share a room, I guess I'll take her now." Akagawa nodded and passed Ayaha towards Shuichi.

Sure, Akagawa doubted the morals of this hotel but she knew Shuichi wasn't that type of person. He wouldn't do anything bad to Ayaha.

She sighed as her black orbs slightly flashed their original color. They faded back to black of course, but that moment was enough to let Akagawa know where her room was.

Where Akashi was, he was knocking on the door of where Manami was in. She opened the door, her hazel orbs staring at Akashi's heterochromatic ones.

Her face brightened and she opened the door, hugging her fiancé. Akashi scowled and roughly pushed her off, "Ouch, first Shuichi-kun and now you Seijuro." She rubbed her bum.

Akashi sighed, "I will forcefully do more if you don't tell me why you lead Harigae towards that group after her." The black haired girl began to walk towards her bed. Akashi's temper flared, being ignored like this felt revolting.

Manami's hazel eyes gave off a seductive vibe and she wanted Akashi to come closer. He closed the door, mainly so that if she were to scream in pain no one would hear. He was going to get answers.

She wasn't Akagawa. He can get answers.

Manami patted the mattress, suggesting for Akashi to sit. On guard, the red head sat down and once again repeated his question with more authority.

She batted her thick eyelashes and began to pull on Akashi's tie. Loosening the piece of clothing, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Why have you begun to favor her? Aren't we the ones engaged?" She pouted, her attractive expression made Akashi scowl.

She's only just a pretty face. A useless peasant. "I've told my father to cancel our engagement, you are no longer needed." Akashi's voice rung in her ears.

Manami huffed and pushed Akashi down onto the mattress, "Why?! I've loved you for so long... I even.. I led her to them because she was in between us." Akashi stood still, feeling disgusted by her touch.

She laid her head onto Akashi's firm chest and the door to the room opened. A red haired girl paused, not sure how to feel about what was in front of her.

"I'm pretty sure I have the right room." Akagawa looked at the number and knew it was right. Her chest tightened, the sight of this made her dizzy.

"Wait, this isn't what you think it is." Akashi pushed Manami off and stood up to go to Akagawa. She stepped back as he came closer.

Akagawa shook her head, snapping her out of her thoughts. They are engaged, she has no right to interfere. Akashi's eyes softened, seeing her expression. It hurt him to see her sad, tears almost formed in his eyes.

"There's no need to explain, I understand. I'll give you two, some time to yourselves." Every word beginning to stab Akagawa's heart. When did this feeling begin?

Akagawa closed the door behind her leaving Akashi and Manami in the same room. He sighed, "She always manages to successfully taunt me." He ran his hand down his red hair.

"Don't leave me! I will tell my daddy about this." Akashi's eyes flared at her outrageous comment. How dare a peasant order him?! Who does she think she is?

Akashi walked closer to her, "You're right, I won't leave you. Before punishing you so you learn your place." His eyes glowed, his scissors in his hands.
