Life after death...a Shiki fanfic

18. Fight or flight p2

  "Well well well. Now what do we have here?" 

"T-tatsumi?" Tooru looked at him with fear.

Arisu frowned to herself. She was hung up on what Tooru had said. "Our friendship," she replayed those words in her head. "So this is what it feels like to be friendzoned," she thought to herself. "I guess he's still hung up on that nurse."  Arisu felt a bit disappointed. 

"What's with the look sweetheart?" Tatsumi turned his attention to her. 

"I guess Ken didn't come out alive then?" Arisu pulled away from her thoughts. Tooru looked at her in disbelief. "Ken?" he asked. "Yes, the very same stalker Ken I've told you about," Arisu answered him. "Now, if I didn't know better, I'd say you, Tooru-kun," Tatsumi said pointing at the said male, "  were planning to run off with Arisu here?" 

The young male shook with fear. Tatsumi walked close to him, almost towering over him. Tooru could feel his presence. He was scared out of his mind. Arisu was on her guard. "I'm pretty sure I gave you an assignment didn't I? The nurse?" Tatsumi smiled sadistically at him. Tooru widened his eyes in terror. He could do nothing against him. "Y-yes," he nodded. Tooru gave an apologetic look at Arisu. "I'm sorry," he whispered before running off. 

Arisu frowned. It was only her and Tatsumi. "Why the mad look?" he asked her. Silence. Tatsumi sighed. "You're coming with me." "Why should I?" she asked. Tatsumi growled in annoyance. "I'm not asking." Arisu got into a fighting stance. 

"As much as I want to have a go at you again, I've got things that I have to do. Besides, what are you going to do now? Where are you going to go? Huh? That's right," he said seeing Arisu frown. "No one. Nowhere. So might as well just come quietly with me before you cause any trouble." 

Arisu considered her options again. "Fine," she decided as she followed the agitated male. The two walked in silence towards the mansion. 

"This sucks," Arisu thought to herself. "I'm so lame...trying to run off without any plans." She let out a heavy sigh thinking how foolish she must have been. Tatsumi watched her from the corner of his eye. "So troublesome," he thought to himself. "She gave in when she out of fight or flight options. Stupid brat." He smirked to himself as they continued on.
