"Shit!"

Chisaki cursed from the other side of the door as Y/N let one bullet after the other fly. She made sure to count them in her head. She couldn't waste them all, she would need them in the future.

She looked over her shoulder. Shouto and Rei were still standing in the same spot. "What are you doing?" she hissed. "You need to climb out the window, now. My ammo won't last forever."

"Mom," Shouto was trying to pull Rei to her feet, but she was trembling and muttering under her breath—she was on her knees. Her arms limp in Shouto's grasp. "Mom, we need to go."

Y/N took one look at her face and she could tell she was terrified. "Rei," she called out hastily. "You need climb out the window and follow the plan."

"I can't!" Rei cried out, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I can't do this! If I do, you'll die—Shouto will die."

"If we stay here, we will die." Y/N gave her a pleading look. "We talked about this—you have Shouto here now, all you have to do is follow through with what I told you and you'll be free again."

"Free?"

"Yes, free," she reassured her. "After this, you can eat all the soba noodles you want and spend your days with your children!" Her throat started closing when she realized where Shouto had gotten his love for cold noodles. "I promise you, I will protect you."

"I..." Rei's face was anguished, like either decision could cost them so much.

Y/N had to stop shooting when she realized she'd shot her second to last bullet. Her previous plan was out the window. She had nothing to defend herself with. Just as she was going to reach for the bed and somehow push it in front of the door, it swung open, making Y/N step back, and point her gun up.

"You have the audacity to shoot at me!" Chisaki cackled murdesouly as he stepped into the room. Male nurses who'd been with him standing far back behind, almost against the hall wall. She swore she caught a glance of Monoma. Bastard had probably called Chisaki himself.

It had been a while since she'd last seen Chisaki, but he hadn't changed much at all. He still had that same sneer on his lips, those empty, soulless eyes, and that merciless aura around him. He, once again, was in a black and white suit. His right hand held a gun.

"Let us go and we won't ever show up in front of you again," Y/N spoke up first. Her grip on the metal weapon was sweaty and aching.

He turned to her, a bored expression on his face. "I give you a roof, food to eat, money for school—every little thing you need, and you fucking try to kill me."

"You gave me no choice," she refuted back.

"Gave you no choice? Okay, sure." He nodded his head in mockery before he pointed his gun at Shouto and his mother. "This wasn't my choice either."

She didn't think. She moved before she realized what she was doing— she jumped in front of Shouto and Rei, shielding them from Chisaki.

As the bullet pierced her skin, she yelled out in pain and took the opportunity to use her last bullet to shoot him. She got him right in the hand, making him cry out and drop the weapon. She charged at him, building up momentum, and kicked him right in the stomach, sending him spiraling out into the hall with the male nurses. She didn't spare a second and instead slammed the door closed, grabbing one of the dark grey cabinets to her left and pushing it against the door.
