Everything I Want (Ryuji Suguro x OC)

Chapter 31

'Ryuji I...' Mira spoke as I placed her down on a bench. 'I'm sorry...' I spoke brushing my hand through her hair. Tears streamed down her face, I placed a kiss on her forehead and another on her lips. 'I love you Ryuji I'm so sorry...' She continued to cry, reaching out she grabbed onto my jacket. 'I love you too, please don't cry...' I pulled her tightly into my arms, feeling her nudge her head into my collarbone. 'You look really beautiful Mira...' I blushed as she pulled back, giving me a gentle smile. 'You look really handsome in that suit.' Mira blushed, placing her hand on the side of my face. I overlapped her hand with mine, resting my forehead against hers. 'You realize I'm never going to live what happened down...' I sighed, 'sorry I don't know what came over me.' She replied, 'You shouldn't drink alcohol.' I chuckled making her blush, getting her back from that time in Kyoto. 'Come on, you want to dance right?' I blushed reaching out my hand for her to grasp. 'Are you sure you're okay with that?' She asked hesitantly reaching out. 'Yeah' I smiled, helping Mira to her feet. We both headed back down to the party when the next song started. Taking hold of her hand I placed my other hand on the small of her back. Moving back and forth to the music Mira smiled sweetly, resting her head against my chest I heard her whisper. 'Thank you...'

[Mira Sakurai]

Out of nowhere Shura rounded us up with a sudden announcement, 'find Izumo Kamiki.' 'Eh, what happened to Izumo?' Renzou cried out, 'she promised to help out at the store tonight but she didn't come... did something happen to her?' Rin asked with a worried tone. 'No idea, we'll explain the details later, but now I need you guys to find her as quickly as possible. I can't contact her, also find Nemu Takara as well.' Shura explained, 'wouldn't just the students be insufficient? Shouldn't we contact the teachers, Pheles as well?' Yukio asked. 'We can't, consider this the same as a top-secret task direct from the Vatican HQ. Don't let Mephisto know about this,' Shura responded. 'Why are you hiding this from Mephy? I know you don't trust him but...' I spoke feeling uncomfortable of what the situation implied. 'We don't have the time right now; all of you need to split up for maximum efficiency. Make sure you can keep in touch while you search, if something happens contact me right away! That's all, scram!' Shura stated, 'ah what happened to Izumo?' Renzou panicked. 'First we should decide on areas for us to search,' Ryuji informed. 'I just can't stay calm like that, it's too late if something's happened to her!' Renzou yelled as he bolted the other direction, when it came to girls he sure didn't use reason. 'Shima control yourself!' Ryuji shouted unable to stop him.

After splitting up I quickly pulled out my phone, looking at Mephy's contact information. I know I wasn't supposed to contact him but I couldn't help feeling guilty. If something was happening then I needed to get to high grounds for a better view. All of a sudden there was a shock wave in the direction of the outlook square on the upper level. Running towards the direction of the chaos I saw an aircraft land on the building. I quickly messaged Shura with the location, arriving I felt my heart sink, my whole body started shaking, I clenched my fists. 'Renzou... I don't... understand,' feeling all my strength leave me the moment I saw him holding an unconscious Izumo, carrying her over to the group of strangers. Nemu stood beside me, showing no emotion as usual. 'Looks like you were the first to find me Mira, don't give me that look, I hate seeing a girl sad because of me.' Renzou smiled, all of a sudden the other people brought out some large shields. 'Eh what are you doing, aren't we running away?' Renzou seemed surprised, 'Renzou where are you taking Izumo? Who are these people and why the hell are you involved with them?' I cried out when I heard Rin's voice, 'Shima! Izumo! Who are they? Are they allies?' Rin ran towards us, suddenly stopping in his tracks the second an incredibly bright light shone from the sky. Closing my eyes I felt myself being grabbed, feeling arms grip my shoulders I opened my eyes to see Rin was holding me. Looking over I saw Mephy's cape blocking us from the strange light. 'Mephisto!' Rin called out in shock. 'Mephy!' I cried in relief. Whatever this light was... It was dangerous and one this was clear to me, Mephy was protecting all of us.
