Aka-no-Joo

Chapter 10

I woke up on a black couch. My hands and feet were tied, and my weapons were staring right back at me. I couldn't move much even without the tape and ropes, I was still feeling the pain from my fight with nii-san. A guy was standing close to me. Watching me very closely. He has blonde hair that was covering his face thanks to his white and baby blue jacket, honestly I don't know how exactly he can see with his hair like that, but somehow he can. "This is the girl the boss was carrying here,right?" He asks. His hand reaching out to touch me. "She's really cute upclose."

"Don't touch her," Izumo ordered. "That girl --

I used my tied up hands and connected them across his face. Over and Over. I then sat up and used my feet to kick him away from me. Izumo sighs and sets his head on the desk. " You didn't have to hurt him, Tsu-chan."

I remained quiet. I know that we were in someone's office, and judging by the building behind us. We were at my school. Why was HOMRA at my school? What is Mikoto planning here?

"Gomenasai Tsubaki-chan, " I shifted my glare towards Izumo, who was sitting in the council president's office. I hope she's alright? I don't want anything to happen to anyone here. "Mikoto asked me to keep you here and tie you up in case you take down the guys."

"Why...?" My voice sounded so groggy. "Why are we here?"

"We're looking for the boy from the video, " Izumo explained. " Mikoto mentioned that he is here, so we're looking for him. Of course, someone has to watch you." He leans forward, eying me closely. " I know the training you've been through, Tsubaki. I saw the fight between you and your brother. You two were trying to kill each other , that's not how siblings are supposed to act. " I rolled my eyes.

"Is...Is Fushimi alright?" I ask. A small smile was on his face. 

"He's fine. A little scratched up, but that comes with the job."  Our eyes met, and his smile had gotten bigger this time. " It was cute to hear him call your name like that, you finally broke through his barrier. I don't think Yata-chan could even do that. "

"I'm just his partner." I say.

"Is that what you call yourselves?" He asks, I turn my face from him. "Cute.~ I've just recieved word that he's actually here."

I watched Anna's marbles roll around the table all by themselves. Was this how she tracks people? Izumo turns to the little girl and sighs. "Think the suspect is really here?"

"Yes," The little girl says. " He is here. "

Our eyes met for a moment, before going back to her task at hand. "But..."

"You can't quite pinpoint him?" He asks. Anna shakes her head." That's okay. Regardless, we have the whole place sealed off. He's trapped like a rat."

"That's because what you're looking for cannot be seen through the eyes, but heard through the ears and trapped in the mind." I explain.  "He's not a mere person, more like a thing."

"How can you be so sure?" Izumo asked.

"When I went to visit the Gold King, I felt something different in the dead body of Adolf K. Weismann. Something evil."

"And that same feeling...are you sensing it now?" Anna asked. I nod. 

"It's another King: The Colorless King." 

I looked out the window. I can feel some sort of aura pick up somewhere. Trying to find it somewhere. Anywhere. I wish that I could move, but my brother knows me better than I had thought. He knows that I can take out everyone in HOMRA, and he's keeping me with the second person that can keep me grounded. He's not a fool, nor is he all the clever.I fixed my legs into a bent lotus position and closed my eyes focusing on that trace of aura. Anything that can keep Mikoto from taking out my classmates, I felt the presence of Munakata-sama appearing. If Munakata is here than that means...Fushimi is here also.
