Traitor (Renji Yomo x Reader) [Continued in a second book!]

Stranger Danger

After walking through the dimly lit halls for over an hour, I still didn't feel any better. The fact that Renji could so easily lie to my face bothered me greatly. At this point, anything he said could be a lie.

How am I ever supposed to regain my trust in him when he constantly challenges it?

My heart was still painfully racing when I walked past Koutarou's room. Ever since he moved here we frequently visited each other. He was still my best friend and a few weeks without speaking to one another wouldn't change that. There was no doubt he'd open the door for me.

Feeling another wave of sadness wash over me, I quickly decided to knock. He would surely be able to lift my mind off of these things and offer help.. I could always count on him.

Except for this time.

"Kou? Are you home?" I wondered, continuously knocking, "It's me ..(Y/N)."

Even after knocking for another minute, no one opened. He wasn't home. Sighing, I continued walking through the darkness. Although it was already fairly warm in the sewers, I felt cold. Maybe it was my anxiety and the initial shock acting up. Knowing that my boyfriend had a child with someone else felt surreal. I couldn't believe it. But I couldn't blame him either.. We weren't dating at that time. It wasn't cheating back then.. But knowing he spends time with her now just left me nervous. I didn't know if I should believe him when he said he would never cheat. The chances were too high that Itori would use all her might to wrap him around her finger - she did it before, she could probably pull it off again.

What if I'm not good enough.. I wasn't good enough to know the truth.. Why should I be good enough in this case..

Right when I was about to compare myself to her again, I felt a hard thump on the back of my head. While my heart jumped into overdrive, my head immediately began to ache. Groaning, I immediately fell to the floor but luckily managed to catch myself.

"Ugh.. What the..-" I began to complain, attempting to glance over my shoulder right after.

But the second I started turning my head, find a way to possibly take action, I was hit again. This time, it was severely harder, even my vision shock and my head started pulsating. However, I still managed to hold myself up. I wasn't giving up just yet. There wasn't much I could do, though. Crawling away seemed like a bad idea considering someone stood behind me, was probably ready to hit me again. Turning around to hit them required fast movements that I didn't feel I could pull off right now. But giving up was never an option to begin with. So even though my entire body was shaking with fear and blood started dropping on the ground in front of me, I was willing to fight.

Without wasting another minute, I quickly pushed myself up on my legs. The attacker was so close to me, I bumped into them, making them stumble back. Unfortunately, that only upset them further. While my wound was already healing again, my vision was still struggling with the impact against my head.

Shit.. It's dark and now my eyes are acting up.. This isn't good..
