Love Stained Red (Bungou Stray Dogs)

Chapter 18

Nyx's POV

My ability wasn't the same anymore. Well it was but different, I couldn't exactly control people like I use to be able to. I was more of a siren now. My singing would draw people in and hypnotize them. They get so focused on my they don't realize the things going on around them.

Currently Chuuya and I were put out on a mission. There was a man the Port Mafia wanted gone. He worked for a local thug group and they owe us some money but they aren't paying up.

We went in and started verbally fighting with them. I dressed as a small fragile girl, incapable of protecting myself. When things when south they grabbed me and ran.

They brought me to their hideout. It was cold and dark. The walls looked like they were ready to come down at any moment.

"Aren't you a cutie?" The leader said and grabbed my face. I had a tracking device under my skirt so Chuuya and the Black Lizard were on their way. Once I got a small shock in my leg I knew it was time to start my part.

The guys tried to force their way onto my but I refused each and every one of them. I got slapped and I got pushed and thrown. It hurt but I could handle it. I've been though worse.

Finally the small shock came through and I stood up. "How about I sing for you guys? Will that makes it better?" I asked the group of thugs infront of me. They all just kinda looked around at eachother before nodding.

"So tell you leave I'll pack my bags, get on the road."

I begin my song. I'm not like a normal ability user, my body doesn't grow anymore when I activate my powers. It's just my eyes.

"Find someone that loves you better than I do, darling I know."

They boys all calm down and focus on me. The guard has been lowered.

"Cause you remind me everyday I'm not enough..."

I see Chuuya and the Black Lizard sneak in through the windows.

"But I still stay..."

Chuuya gives me the okay to run. He shows that he was going to protect me no matter what.

"I'm afraid that's all I can sing for you all right now..." I spoke to the group of thugs, they didn't seem to like that. The leader stepped towards me and I took off running.

"Hey!" Chuuya called to the thugs to distract them from me. I ran and hide somehwhere in their hideout. I would wait until Chuuya finishes what he needed to.

"C'mon Nyx, lets go home." I heard someone say to me about 5 minutes into hiding. I got up from my spot to see Chuuya, his hand extended for me to take.

I reached out to his hand but a flash of someone came to mind... Dazai. What the hell was I doing thinking of him now, he's gone, he left me.

I grabbed Chuuya's hand tightly and jumped into his arms. Well really I jumped onto him, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. I hid my face in his neck and hugged tightly. "Don't let me go." I whispered.

Chuuya only put his hands under my butt. 1 to tuck my skirt in and 2 so I could have a bit more support. "Okay... let's fine him, Nyx."

Dazai's POV

The Port Mafia has been very active in the past few days. It's like they are able to hold dangerous operations without a care in the world. They've always done dangerous things but they were careful about it.

I just got word they let one of their members get kidnapped just so they could find their hideout and attack them there. How reckless do that have to be?

Not to mention in the past few days they've been messing with some dangerous people. The Ability Switcher and A Memory Eraser. The first should be in jail and the second hasn't done any crimes for us to take action.

Everything he's been doing is legal.

The Armed Detective Agency has been looking into their recent activities. Apparently they've got yet another new member and they've already made them an executive. How strong is this person?

Not only have they been active but there has been no reports on Nyx. She's no where to be seen. I hated myself for the things I said to her that night, I should have just listened. Why would she cheat on me. She waited years for me, years...

I had to find her and fast, before it was all too late.
