F̶o̶l̶l̶o̶w̶ Fuck the Rulebook - Kenma Kozume

C26 - More than a hello

Akasuki grudgingly turned through the gates into an empty courtyard, yawning from the excessive reading she invested in the night before, brewing over the words of the author rapidly. She had decided, that a confession was often either voluntary to help the protagonist deal with their emotions, or a compulsive forced confession during a pressure sensitive situation. Now, Akasuki is just trying to decide which one was most suitable to her situation. She glanced up from the ground sighing. Her eyes catching a familiar face, golden eyes glimmering in the early sun, Kenma, should she call out to him? Bridge a connection? Fuck, she lifted her hand calling out to him,

"he,"

Her words were suddenly cut off by shadowing figures, snickering arising from them as her eyes narrowed. Fuck sake, she didn't have time for this shit. Her eyes laid upon the devilish face of Rei, her voice, snaking through her brain,

"already hitting on another boy?"

What? Is she serious? She parted her lips with intent to speak, yet one of her minions shoved a finger in her face abruptly,

"no one said you could speak!"

Akasuki took a step back, what the fuck? What is her problem? Rei stepped forward leaning down into Akasuki,

"just face the truth, slut Suki," she parted her lips dramatically, the truth, "no, guy, could, ever, truthfully, love, you," she growled, those exact words brought back the memories of last year, "do you not understand?"

She only had one choice, she always only had one choice. She nodded dropping her eyes to the ground, her words burning into her mind, 'no guy could ever truthfully love you', she wasn't wrong. Every time Akasuki had any boy in her life, it had always been a lie, a twisted truth, nothing real, and Rei, Rei knew that. Rei turned on her heels with her group before suddenly stopping, a mischievous look growing on her face,

"actually," she spun around grabbing Akasuki's wrist, her eyes widening as Rei's fingers snaked around her wrist, "I have an idea."

What the fuck? Akasuki immediately yanked her wrist away in disbelief, memories flooding through the cracking dam locking away her past. Who the fuck does she think she is? Rei's face tightened growing in anger, her hands reaching out to grab Akasuki's shirt, her minions egging her on as she warned her,

"you'll do, whatever the fuck I want you to do."

Fuck this shit, Akasuki grabbed her hands, her furious energy kicking in prying Rei's hands off. Ever since last year she hated the feeling of someone's fingers around her wrist even the simplest of touches,

"don't fucking touch me."

She watched the humanity snap in Rei's eyes, her hand lunging out to firmly plant a strong slap against her cheek. What the fuck? Rei leaned in jamming his finger into Akasuki's face, eyes fierce and lips taut,

"you dirty whore," she hissed, "all you fucking did was take, take, take," her fingers gripped around Akasuki's shirt, splatters of spit flying into her face, "and you took, him, from me! You took Da,"

No, Akasuki's anger had been boiling up since the start of everything to do with Rei and this, this was the end of it. Hearing the start of his name broke her. Snapped her two. Fuck this. She grabbed Rei's shirt. Rei had done nothing but torture her since the day things turned sour. The day Akasuki lost faith in everyone and everything and now, now Akasuki was striving for good friendships and a prosperous life in silence. Rei was here to ruin everything. Akasuki's reality kicked in, fuck her, her hand pulling back in a fist, Rei squirming in Akasuki's well practiced grasp. Thanks to volleyball and the boys, Akasuki had spent a lot of time building unknown muscles, though she didn't really put any use to them, she thought maybe now was the time. Her fist flew forward. She did this. This is Akasuki's fault. Rei stumbled back through her minions as Akasuki's fist collided loosely with Rei's cheek. What? No, she swore her aim was perfect. Suddenly Rei grew a metre away as the invisible grasp of another restricted her. No, no she was not letting her get away. Akasuki slipped like a fish through their fingers, lunging towards Rei. She felt a breath of air as a hand flew under her attempting to grab her again, no, not this time she brought her arm back, unexpectedly connecting with something, the hand retracting, as her fist perfectly connected with Rei's jaw. Fuck yes, this rush, her heart thumping loudly in her ears, this, felt good. She hadn't felt this since, eyes widening, since him. Suddenly a strong pair of arms wrapped around her chest restricting both her arms, pulling her away. What the fuck man? She wildly swung towards Rei; he must've sent her. It has to be him.
