Loss Of The Stars

Chapter 6

(Nagisa's POV)

My 'savior' takes my hand and passes me a cloth, only realizing that it was a blindfold. Confused, I stare up at him. "What's this for?"

The redhead simply grinned at my question, fanning his hand as if dismissing it. "It's a surprise, Bluebell, don't ruin it."

"Skyscraper, you're planning on kidnapping me, right?" I asked.

"I prefer the term 'surprise adoption' but yeah."

If I could describe my face at the moment, it would be pure terror. He must've noticed it too, because he burst out laughing, wiping the tears that formed on the edge of his eyes. He stopped laughing and leaned his hands on his knees as he caught his breath.

"Yo-you're so fucking cute, you have no idea!" He said between giggles. "Seriously, best reactions ever."

"Ahaha." Came out my dry laugh. "You think I'm cute? Wait 'till you get on my bad side, bud. Let's see if you'll be calling me cute then."

"Oooh~ feisty one, aren't ya?" He cooed. "I'm honored to have been threatened in such a precious way." He pointed at the blindfold. "Come on~ it'll be fun, I promise."

I stared at the piece of cloth, unsure if I should do it or not. I've only met this guy at the grocery store, but even then, he seemed like a decent guy, aside from the playful teasing. A sigh made its way passed my lips. I'm gonna regret this, I just know it.

Reluctantly, I placed the blindfold over my eyes, the redhead helping in tying it behind my head. My face grimaced when my world became a dark void. "There, you happy?" I said.

Feeling his breath beside my ear, I shuddered when he spoke. "Very much. Thank you, blue~" he placed his hands on my shoulders and began pushing me forward, leading me to who knows where.

I pray that this isn't the last of Nagisa Shiota.

After escaping the school (don't ask how) we've just been walking for about ten minutes, but for me it was as if we've been walking for hours. The anxiety I was feeling wasn't helping much either.

"Are, are we there yet..?"

"Almost, so stop complaining, will you?" He patted my head, a habit of his that I now noticed. "Jeez, I already told you I'm not gonna do anything bad to you, so calm your tits."

'Kinda hard not to worry right now...' "I'm a boy, moron, I don't have tits."

"I know, I know. Im just messing with you."

After about five more minutes of walking, we came to a stop. Naturally, I just had to ask again. "Are we there yet?"

He removed the blindfold, and it hurt when I opened my eyes, so I kept them shut and rubbed them, attempting to get used to the light again.

"Yup! See?"

When I opened my eyes, all I could see were the vibrant colors of the building I knew all too well. The moment my eyes landed on the doors, I recognized the place instantly. The arcade. How do I know this place? Well, there isn't a soul in this town that doesn't know about the arcade, since it's the only one.

But I would always hang out here on the days that mom is out and about dong whatever it is that she does. Thankfully, today is one of the days where mom just poofed away and disappeared.

"Welcome to your doom." Said the redhead that was now beside me.

"Excuse me?" I asked with sass laced into my voice.

"This, Bluebell, is the place where I shall beat you in every game we come across. This is where you shall perish by my hands."

'Is he challenging me? The kid who knows all the games like the back of his hand?' A cocky grin played at my lips. "Oh you're on, hot stuff, but just so you know, I ain't going easy on you."

"Oh-ho~ getting cocky there aren't ya? May the best player win, pretty boy, the loser has to pay."

"Challenge accepted."
