A Painful Melody

Chapter 44- Last chance

3rd person POV

Akagawa scowled, her black orbs shaking with rage, "Tadao, are you out of your mind?!" She glared at the purple haired male beside him.

Nijio smiled, "Darling, don't be like this. He brought me to you because he knew we were meant to be." Shuichi scoffed.

"Don't speak nonsense, hurry up and do it." Shuichi scowled, he wanted this tracker gone.

Akagawa's black orbs widened, "Do what?!" She stepped back, her legs feeling jelly and her head throbbed.

Shuichi didn't betray her right? There has to be a reason, otherwise Shuichi wouldn't be casually bringing Nijio to her. He knew that Nijio brought horrible memories. So why?...

Her head filled with doubt as Shuichi stood to the side watching. Did he really betray her? After all these years? Tears filled her eyes, as her black orbs began to fade into their sacred ones.

The purple haired male laughed, "You finally showed me! No wonder Shin wanted this, it's simply beautiful. I myself want to gauge your eyes out and hang them for display." His red orbs darkened.

Though Akagawa couldn't process a single thing, her mind was filled with Shuichi. She didn't want to believe that he betrayed her. He wasn't saying anything, he just stood to the side watching. He lead Nijio to her.

She desperately wanted him to tell her the reason. To clear her mind. Akagawa fell to her knees onto the sand and looked up at Shuichi. He avoided her gaze.

This was way too suspicious. Shuichi didn't know why no words could come out of his mouth. Her painful look shattered his heart and left his mind completely blank. When he desperately wanted to say something, his mouth wouldn't move.

As her tears fell, a small black dot was falling down her cheeks. Shuichi's eyes flared and immediately Nijio was knocked out. Akagawa stared at the man unconscious on the sand, "What?.."

Shuichi wiped Akagawa's tears and held the black tracker in his hand. The red headed girl's eyes faded back into black and she gasped. All the tightness on her heart vanished, he didn't betray her.

"As much as I'd like to shatter this, it's still good evidence to find out who else is working with Shinu." Shuichi hummed, he wondered how they managed to put this in her eyes without her noticing. Not to mention, only when she revealed those godlike eyes. The tracker did not fall when she cried with black orbs.

"...Tadao you iDIOT!!" Akagawa tackled him onto the sand, sitting on top of his chest.

Tears filled her black orbs and she began hitting his chest, Shuichi did nothingness but wrap his arms around her waist until she calmed down.

She thought he betrayed her, even if her heart refused to accept it he was too suspicious. With every punch, Shuichi knew what she was thinking. He didn't know how to apologize, but even if he did say sorry it wouldn't do much.

"At least look at me in the eye next time. I can tell." Akagawa wiped her tears and got up. She reached out her arm, that Shuichi grabbed.

He stood up, with plenty bruises from Akagawa's abuse. Or anger moment. He sighed, "I won't make the same mistake next time." He dusted the sand off his clothes and looked at Akashi.

He was passed out, hovering slightly over the sand. Shuichi's blue eyes widened, "You didn't-..." Akagawa nodded her head yes.

It was sudden, but she didn't realize she loved Akashi till now. This was as sudden to Shuichi as it was to Akagawa. Though, the emperor certainly knew.

"If he goes insane, Riga he is an Akashi. If he goes insane, we will have the whole business world and news on our backs." Shuichi rubbed his temples.

Akagawa clenched her eyes shut, "I know but.." she reached out to Shuichi and hugged him tightly.

Shuichi's eyes widened, her heart was beating quickly and her face was almost as dark as her hair. He never saw this expression before and his face heated up while his heart clenched.

After a long sigh, Shuichi hugged her back. He leaned down and whispered into her ears, "I'm happy for you, if he passes the trail I will have two roses to protect."

Akagawa teared up and smiled, Shuichi wiped her tears also smiling. The silver haired male hugged her tightly, remembering the sensation and scent. He ran his hand down her silky red hair, "I hope he succeeds." Akagawa nodded in agreement.

"How vulgar, I'm gone for a moment and I come back to see you in another man's arms."
