No Such Thing as Romance (Byakuya Togami x Reader Fanfiction)

Chapter 13

"She's over here! Climbing over that fence!"

They found you. As long as they couldn't keep up with you, you could probably make enough distance to hide. As long as your siblings weren't alerted.

Panting, you jumped down from the fence and sprinted to the main city streets. The large crowd would provide easy camouflage. You snaked through the commotion, trying to find an outlet. Filtering into an alley, you slowed down and caught your breath. Hopefully, the clan had lost you. Rats scampered past you, adding to the dank atmosphere. You slowly moved to the back of the alley, hiding in the dark shadows. Scanning the area, you decided to take to the roofs using a nearby fire exit.

Suddenly, a deafening blast was heard as a bullet flew through your shoulder, causing you to collapse in excruciating pain. Scarlet blood soaked through your clothes as you held a hand to the wound.

"Found you." A voice from above stopped you. Two recognizable sillohettes watched you from the rooftop.

Damn.

Your siblings descended the fire exit you had hoped to used for escape. You couldn't tell if they were angry about your escape or pleased that they caught you. Probably both.

"I have to say, you really had us going for a moment. We nearly lost you after you ran through the back exit." Your sister smirked in triumph. Your brother, silent as he always was, watched you intently.

Various other yakuzas surrounded the three of you, on the rooftop and by the entrance to the alley. "Damn you..." You slumped to the ground, cursing.

"Take her back to the base and lock her in her room. With an actual lock this time, not some rusted piece of junk she can break through."

Two yakuzas picked you up by either arm, agitating the injury. Your vision grew blurry as you watched the thick drops of blood splash on the ground.

...Why?

Several days passed. The kids installed a bunk bed in your shared room with Nagito. You saw many prisoners arrive at the mansion, only to be taunted and thrown out by the children. You managed most of the chores, considering Servant couldn't do much besides tidy the place. You often saw Servant and Monaka speaking in private, arousing your suspicion. You told Byakuya of your findings.

"He's usually awake before I am, probably to speak with Monaka." You spoke to Byakuya one night.

"How do you know he's awake before you are?"

"We share a room. His bed is usually empty in the morning."

"That's unacceptable."

"What?"

"I won't tolerate you sleeping in the same room as another man."

"Jealous?"

"Nevermind. Do you have anything else?"

"No, that's about it."

"Okay. Let me know the names of the captives that come through here. They've got to serve some purpose."

"...Or you're over thinking all of this and these 'so powerful' kids really aren't that powerful."

"I have no doubt the Warriors of Hope are pointless. Still, I think Monaka had an ulterior motive. I'll think about it, as long as you keep reporting to me."

"Of course. Good night."

"Good night."

The following morning, a new prisoner arrived at the mansion. You leaned against the wall as Servant led Komaru into the ballroom. You met eyes with her, and she gave you a look of fear. Probably wondering what I'm doing on the enemy's side.
