Erasure (A Gaku Yashiro x Reader)

Chapter 1 - Erasure

(~~~ these mean it's a change of povs between the narrator *me* and the reader)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you know what it would be like if you could go back in time and fix the biggest mistake of your life? An opportunity to fix something totally wrong. A chance to change your life or someone else's.

A way to erase something tragic.

You have that ability. (Y/N) (L/N) is the name, and you're a crime investigator. Growing up you had the ability to go back a few moments to fix something, however you have actually never fixed anything. You felt sort of useless not knowing exactly what you were supposed to do, or what you were supposed to fix. So you called your ability erasure.

You called it that because if it ever happened again, you would make sure that this time you will erase the mistake upon this world. You didn't really actually know how important your life would become, because apparently later on you found out a little something...

Your power would change someone else's fate.

This was no longer your story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'I never paid any mind to my powers and I will not anymore. Let's just focus on my job now (Y/N).' A crime investigator is what I became. I studied it for a while and it was fascinating to me. The person I'm investigating now is someone who had murdered and attempted murder mostly on children.

'Who could do such a thing..' I thought. I put the files back on the desk in my apartment and put the drive into the computer. After some scrolling and reading, this guy was a politician and a former grade school teacher. 'A teacher that tried murdering kids huh... Who would-'

And there it was. My eyes grow wide in horror.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So about that former job you mentioned. You used to tutor at a school. That's right, you were a tutor for little kids. And your colleague-

-well he ended up being a murderer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I got up in horror after seeing his face. Gaku Yashiro. I mean I wasn't really his friend or anything but, he was so nice to me and the children so why...

Why did he try and murder children, was it all just an act or did something happen? Well because of my job I will eventually have to face him. Of course I didn't care about him so, whether or not he's bad it doesn't fucking matter at all.

A few days after looking over the files, it was time you finally got to meet him

Not just an colleague, but the real Gaku Yashiro

I was standing outside of the door. The investigation room or more like an interrogation room. Something is so uneasy about all of this, it doesn't feel natural. Satoru, his own student, went into the hospital because of him.

One of the kids I tutored... My favorite kid actually. I didn't understand why he disappeared but now I know. It's because someone I trusted attempted to murder him. "Miss (L/N)." I jumped at the sudden sound of my colleague probably letting me know to go in. 'Shit I was lost in thought again.'

I smiled and nodded at him while I got ready to go inside. I knew his presence was there but I just couldn't look at him, not until I sat down which I did. I put the files on the table and looked up. He looked shocked.
