I began to force my heavy eyes open as I started hearing heavy footsteps coming down the stairs. My dim (e/c) eyes just stared at the ceiling not even bothering to move a single inch. "Hurry up and get the hell out!" Marianne screeched as she threw my uniform at me "Since you wanna go missing for two weeks, we have more hits to do!" "...I'm sorry.."

I mumbled since that was the only thing I could do aside from the silent tears falling from my eyes. The tightness in my chest made it hard to breathe with each thrashing word.

But the more she yelled, the more I felt the tightening sensation fading and the tears drying. When she finished, she threw a stray book at my forehead making me fall back "Why can't this all end..?"

I whispered to myself as I sat back up and had walked out of the house to the train station. I leaned against a wall, shoving my hands in my pockets-staring at the ground below me. "I finally lost myself..." I smiled sadly shaking my head in grief, the death of myself felt miserable at first. I started drowning in my own thoughts once more, I tend to do that more often-that's why I carried my phone everywhere, but I can't find it sadly enough.

I didn't remember where I had put it either, it made me wish that I wasn't so stupid. "I don't even remember where I set it if I did mention to set it down somewhere. But that was before the hospital incident dumbass, so that was like a whole three weeks ago? Who am I kidding......it's gone for good." "What is?" Akechi had smiled at me as I recognized he wasn't there moments ago, which startled me a bit. "My phone.." "Oh. Is this it?" Akechi pulled out a (f/c) phone from his jacket pocket making my eyes light up a bit "You found it..." "Mmhm, you left it on the bench when you ran off that one time." "Oh...haha...don't bother with my idiocy alright?"

I only forced myself to shift away from him because of how awkward things had gotten from then on. "It's weird. You're the only one in this world who sees me differently than everyone else. You don't see me as the suicidal freak like everyone else or the girl that's mute."

"Well of course not, you're Y/n; the sweetest girl in the world that has meaning." Akechi smiled lightly to me but as I analyzed that smile his aura gave me an entirely different view. I couldn't pinpoint it so I just shook it off as me being delusional once more

"Would you like to join me for pancakes later today?" "O-oh no that's ok, I have other priorities to take care of and I'm sure you must be busy on your ends too. I would only be a bother to you."

I shrugged a bit and Akechi chuckled a bit waving his hand slightly in defense "No, I insist. I have nothing to do on my end today plus I feel that we have somethings to discuss too. We seem very similar and I feel the need to get to know you more." "A-Ah I see. Well if I can I'll try to fit it into my schedule, but should we trade ID's so I can tell you if I can make it or not..?" I spoke softly and Akechi obliges "Does it work?"  ':)' Akechi sent a smiley face to ensure that my phone was working properly "Yeah it works fine." "Good, then I'll see you around."

I nodded at him and had proceeded to Shujin Academy like normal "Oh Y/n your back. Here's all the work you've missed and you are in a group with Mishima and Ryuji for the school festival." Ms. Kawakami had approached me in a rush, even though I was lost entirely I only nodded so I didn't have to waste either one's time. "Yo, Y/n...I heard what happened to you. Is everything alright?"

As I arrived in the empty class with Ryuji and Mishima inside I averted my eyes elsewhere to avoid such questions. I know no one cares, they only ask things like this for their own benefits. "I guess.."

I shrug a bit and put my hands in my jacket pockets, taking a seat in a nearby chair. "So, what am I supposed to do?" "Help us setup the stand for the school festival, we were given Sweets Gallery..but neither of us can bake." "Like a maid cafe..?" "Well no and yes at the same time. Ann has that stand but were allowed to use similar costumes."

Ryuji grinned pridefully and I sighed in grief, this was going to be more difficult than I thought. "Basically you both have no idea what we're doing...?" I rubbed my temples and they both looked away awkwardly "I mean yes and no." Mishima rubs the back of his head "But at least we got the maid thing down."

"I'm not wearing a maid outfit..." "Y/n pleaseeeeeeee this is for a grade!!! If we don't do this we ALL fail not just one of us, all of us!" Ryuji began to complain on and on about how important it was to dress up in a stupid maid's costume.

Truthfully, I felt he didn't care about the grade and all he wanted to see were my panties-the thought alone gave me shivers up and down my spine. I wanted him to shut up by now, so I gave in so he could be quiet "Alright! I get it, give me the damn outfit..."

"You'll do it?!" "Yes now-" "YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!" Mishima and Ryuji chimed simultaneously giving mixed messages about this whole ordeal, it made my skin crawl. "Now put it on!"

"Fine!" Ryuji shoved the outfit in my face and I had snatched it from him grimacing. I looked at the outfit in disgust as I walked out the room to change "This is degrading on so many levels..."

I spoke lightly to myself as I walked in the girls restroom to change but as I was slipping off my jacket I felt a rumble in my pocket. I looked at the caller ID and it said Marianne, knowing what she wanted I still trembled recalling that every time she calls me at school she's pissed at something or another; so she simply takes it out on me.

My thumb hovered over the red call end button, but if I did that everything would end off much worse than it started-so I made easy on myself by picking up the phone. "G-good morning Marianne..." "Don't give me any leisure bullshit L/n. Anyways, the hit count is up to 25-take them out with swiftness. Failure to do so will be your life eventually; but coming from me threats aren't lady-like but you will be taken out and killed if you refuse. Or~"

My blood ran cold as I leaned against the stall as the final words rolled off her tongue "I'll have that boy you've been hanging out with killed instead of you~."

Hearing her say this made something in my mind snap "Don't you fucking dare...! I'd rather die than see someone else be taken from me!!! Don't fucking touch him, he did nothing!"

I slammed my fist against the stall door, crying in anger and in fear of losing everything. "What was that? You want to curse at someone who gave you a home and food? No one would find you're body little girl so I'd watch yourself. The duty of being part of Red X is to carry out Death's whispers with swiftness. I take it you understand, are we in agreement you useless child?"

"None of this is right Marianne.......and you know it...but yes I understand. No need to tell me things that I already know about myself, I'll run through everything after school and it'll be done before midnight tonight. I owe you everything I have..."

"Good Girl~ see? All you have to do is listen to me and everything will be much easier on your behalf. No need to worry and I'll hold you to that deadline. Goodbye~"

Once she hung up the phone I dropped to the floor emotionally exhausted from everything that's been hitting me head on "At this rate, I'll have a break down...I hate everything." I chuckled lowly to myself as tears kept pouring from my eyes and it refused to stop.

But little did I know, Akira himself was listening in to the entire conversation. "We should relay all of this to the others later."

Morgana had whispered to the dark haired male as he nodded silently and had walked elsewhere to make it not look like he was creeping around the female restrooms.
