The Phantom: A raging war

Chapter 21

Akashi P.O.V

I look around as Tetsuya slowly opens the door to the room and steps in, I follow closely and quietly behind him and look around, the room was dimly lit with the flames from the torches that hung on the wall , A low snarl comes from the throne at the end of the room "So you're still alive" The figure growls Leaning forward

"More or less" Tetsuya Says with a shrug and looks back at him as he stands from the throne abruptly,

"Guess I'll have to kill you all then, shame really, some of you had such passion" He sighs sarcastically and starts walking down, the sound of his feet hitting the stone echos throughout the room, the room shakes with each step, if I wasn't so pissed id be a little intimidated.

"Then lets make a compromise" Tetsuya whispers, stepping forward as he looks up t face him, Akuma stops walking, an interested look appears on his face "We can end this, You can have what you wanted from the very start" He says

"Tetsuya, what are you doing?" I whisper, he shushes me with a hand, I look back in concern and confusion,

"Kill me" He says my eyes widen in shock and my breath catches in my throat "Kill me and let the others go, This feud between us. Will end." He takes a step. This Guy is crazy

"Tetsuya stop" I whisper only to be shushed again, I shake my head in disbelief , Dread pooling in my stomach at whats happening,

"What do you say?" He asks, I look back at Akuma who had a wide smirk on his face as he chuckles softly, walking over to us.

"Damn, Dying an honorable death are we?" He asks and leans down to his face, Tetsuya sighs softly and looks back up at him, rolling his eyes slightly at the demon.

"Deal?" He asks, Ignoring the protests of his mother and brother.

"Deal" He snarls and laughs. "If I knew threatening your friends would result in this I wouldn't have ordered Akumu to kill you both" He says, I see Tetsuyas form tense at the mention of the demon who killed his friend. "Yeah that's right, I was the one who told him to kill you, Unfortunately he failed to do so. but I guess it fortunate now huh?"

"Just get it over with" He whispers a small frown on his face. His fists clenched at his side.

"Dont you wanna say goodbye?" He teases him with a taunting smirk all over his face. 

"You didn't let me say goodbye to my brother, why would now be different?" He snaps,

"Im not planning to just kill you. I need your soul." He says and grabs his throat making Kuroko give a small gasp for air as he gets lifted from the ground, His feet hanging inches above the floor. He looks down at Akuma who slowly starts whispering small words that I cant make out, the flames from the torches start to turn a low blue as Tetsuyas eyes go completely white his form starting to blur a little. I shake my head and go to move forward but get stopped by Shinkō

"Don't" She whispers, I look back at her, anger in my eyes "Look" She points at Tetsuyas hands that were behind his back, a small glint catches my eye as he grips a small dagger as Akuma brings him closer. sneaky bitch. He raises it up stabbing Akuma in the neck. He coughs and gasps for air as he gets dropped onto the ground I look up at a groaning Akuma, he glares down at Him as he takes the dagger out his neck,

"You little shit" He snarls and grips the dagger, Grabbing Tetsuya by the collar "You little asshole I'm gonna make sure your entire family suffers" he growls and starts stabbing him in the chest a few times, Blood flying everywhere as he brings the knife back and stabs him again, Tetsuyas small groans of pain and gasping for breath as he slowly dies. Akuma laughs and looks down at him before tossing his limp body over to us .
