She had left him. He figured she would never have left him; she was too weak willed and quiet. Aguri was not the type to state her mind openly, more so if she felt it would be the cause of conflict. For her to openly denounce him so had completely shocked him. He surmised it must be because of the guinea pig's influence on her the past year; what else could it be? He hated the assassin even more for that; Aguri was his and his only. They had been engaged for quite a long time now, though he had little to no romantic feelings for the woman; yet he felt as if he had lost something important, anger rising up in his chest to become a heavy dense weight that tugged at his being.
How dare that piece of trash think he could steal her away! He would not have it, that would be yet another reminder of his failures, that he was weak. I will not be humiliated by the damn giunea pig! Yanagisawa could only stand there, confusion running through his mind as he gazed at the door she had slammed shut a few moments earlier. But how? What would be the best way to win her back? He wasn't really sure, but he was determined to do so. Not out of any affection he had for the woman, but to assert his power over her, and to show up that damnable assassin. An idea came to mind then, one so obvious he would have kicked himself for not thinking of it earlier. That damnable Reaper was now technically one of the biggest secrets in Japan; nonetheless the entire world. There was no way he could live a normal life after what had happened to him. The world's governments would be after him sooner or later. That made the mad scientist's lips curl into a smile. He just had to make it quite apparent to them how much of a danger this thing would be if left alive. Not that he needed much in the way of proof; the crescent moon hanging in the sky was really all the evidence he needed. Taking out the cell phone he had stashed in his pocket, the scientist quickly dialed the number he had memorized.
"Yes, this is Kotaro Yanagisawa. I'd like to speak to one of the higher ups...No, I will not be put on hold! Who the hell do you think you're—" He stopped speaking, the annoying musical cue that indicated he had been put on hold making him grit his teeth. Assassin...I'll get you for this, no matter what I do. That damned woman too...How dare you make a fool of me, the greatest scientific mind the world has ever had the pleasure of birthing! An elite like me won't lose to a pathetic, third world orphan like you who has nothing and will never have anything!
"W-what!? I couldn't...A-Aguri-san, why are you nodding!? Don't tell me you agree!" The Reaper stammers, his beaded eyes swerving from one pair of onyx eyes to the next. They were both staring at him, almost like they were pinning him down; he could feel the pressure from their gazes. He was completely at a loss, his skin turning an odd muddy yellow to show his discomfort, his usual smile replaced by a large grimace. It wasn't that he didn't want to do what they were suggesting; some part of him wanted it very much. However, his rational side knew it was a bad idea, for multiple reasons. Of course, some of those reasons were why Akari-chan proposed the idea in the first place. That still didn't mean he was okay with it; though, he had done similar things while he was an assassin.
This, however, felt much different than simply using a woman as a cover to get to his target. He had had multiple girlfriends before, but those were mostly under the guise of his work. He never thought of them as nothing more then a means to an end. Aguri was...different. She was probably the first person he could say he actually felt something for; not that he understood what that feeling was, exactly but still...It was quite different from anything else. Which was why he was hesitant at hearing Akari's proposal; and even more surprised that Aguri was so readily agreeing to it. His emotions bubbled within him, his mental turmoil apparent to the small teacher sitting near him, her head tilting to the side as she stares at him. He felt some small relief at seeing the large bandage on her face, covering that blemish caused by her supposed fiancé, the swelling on her nose finally subsiding in the past few minutes since they had sat down to have this talk. A small human hand on his shoulder only made him jump a bit in surprise, making him awfully aware of the short distance between them.
"...I mean, if you don't want to, , then we shouldn't force you...I am a bit hesitant myself. This place is kinda small..." The teacher mumbles, her eyes roving around the small apartment. Right now they were in the kitchen area, seated at a tiny table in the middle of the space, surrouded by countertops and other things. The living room like area wasn't much bigger, though it was hard to tell with a laptop and textbooks scattered all over the place, and the bathroom wasn't even half of that. She wondered how the two of them would even fit in such a space; it was barely big enough for her alone. Aguri looked over at her non-human companion once again, noticing he was quite big for the chair he was sitting in, though his easily morphable body made him seem quite comfortable despite that.
This oddly enough made her wonder if he would be comfortable with sleeping on the couch, once she had moved all of her teaching equipment off of the three seater. She didn't think so; the way he was sitting now, all his limbs seemingly scrunched together so he would avoid touching either of them, made her uncertain. Maybe he would be better off in—Aguri quickly shook that thought out of her mind, her face reddening slightly at the idea, still contemplating it for a moment. If that was the case, then she would just take the couch if need be. Though she doubted he would be so selfish as to take her up on that offer. The alternative only made her let out a small squeal, which did not go unnoticed by the two others. Their tentacled guest only pretended to ignore the outburst, though she noticed his skin had once again began to change to that light pink color it often did when she was involved. Did that mean something? What, then? She didn't want to hope it meant he was thinking along similar lines; though she mentally prayed that was the case. Akari only let out a small chuckle at her reaction, the teen narrowing her eyes as she took in the unnerved pair.
"Oh, what were you thinking about, Big Sis? Don't tell me...You want him t—" Aguri quickly attempted to reach out and cover her brash sister's mouth with her hand, but her position at the table made that impossible. Thankfully Akari saw the heated glare that she was giving off, the almost murderous vibes palpable to the three of them. Aguri didn't want to pressure him into anything, though part of her would feel better if he was there. Yanagisawa knew where she lived; she had invited him over a few times during the beginning of their...engagement. He had made fun of the place, calling it a dump for a low born commoner, saying how appropriate it was that she would live there. He was quite livid about today's events, the scene of only half an hour ago still fresh in her mind. She was still worried that he might attempt to do something. The feeling of eyes on her made Aguri turn her head, her large eyes meeting with two tiny beads that made her face flush for some reason.
"...I'll do it. J-just for tonight, though! I'd be too worried otherwise...I don't trust that scientist not to try and follow her home." The Reaper muttered as his odd arms crossed over each other, his cheeks flushing slightly, though not enough to change the color of his skin entirely. Aguri felt her heart leap to her throat, though she tried very hard to appear calm. He was just doing it out of concern for her well being. Nothing more. She mentally reminded herself, lest her imagination get the better of her. She wasn't thinking of anything too crass; at least in her mind she found wanted to be cuddled and kissed on the cheek perfectly normal, if a little daring considering how long they had known each other. Yet she was still embarrassed by the ideas running through her mind.
It's not like she hadn't attempted to be intimate with Yanagisawa, trying to dress and act the part quite often during the beginning stages of their relationship; the man had never returned her affection. She stopped trying soon after; understanding that he did not see her in that way, nor truly wanting that kind of attention from him in the first place. It was more of an act to fool her parents, make it look like things were going well with the engagement. If the man wasn't so involved with his work that he ignored her and treated her like more of a personal servant than a life partner, she might have attempted to give their relationship a chance. He did not however; his constant belittling and physical abuse slowly wearing on Aguri's psyche, until she had lost the ability to truly feel good about herself or her accomplishments. It was only later, after she had met the assassin—and even then many months afterwards, that she dared to try and seek encouragement from anyone other than her little sister. The feeling of something slowly coiling itself around her shoulder, the soft appendage being oddly comforting to the tired teacher yet just jolting enough to bring her out of her train of thought.
"...Alright. We got that settled, but I'm warning you octopus. If you do anything weird to my sister without her consent, I'll turn you into takoyaki!" Akari sternly commented, her voice carrying the hint of a threat there that all three knew wasn't to be taken lightly. Not that he would ever consider it; not unless she specifically asked for him do so, and he doubted that would happen any time soon.
"Of course not! What do you think I am?" He protested, this time causing Aguri to give him a michevious smirk. She pointed her finger at the Reaper's round face, making him blink a couple times in confusion before she spoke her piece.
"Coming from the guy who got a nosebleed after you saw my breasts, I'm not too sure..." The octopus could only let out a shout of discontent as his face once again turned pink, his tentacle qiuckly withdrawing from its place on her shoulder as if he had been burnt.
"C'mooooon! I am a male, you know. I can't help being attracted to...such..." He trailed off, his beady eyes seeming to stare off far into the distance, as if he was remembering something pleasant. Akari only made an angry huff, her arms crossing over one another as she glared at her sister. Aguri only blushes as she watches her inhuman companion turn his head away from her in shame.
"That is what I'm worried about. He seems a bit sketchy, y'know?" Aguri could only nod, a small smile stretching across her face despite the commotion that was going on.
"I'm telling you, I'm not going to do anything. I may be a bit of a pervert, I admit that much, but I am not like that at all!" He shouts before quickly cutting himself off, his skin turning from bright yellow to a deep red in a matter of moments. This causes both the sisters to stare at the octopus in surprise, Aguri quickly covering her head in her hands out of embarrassment. She found it quite cute how he was trying to defend himself. What had she gotten herself into? Well, she didn't really care, but she was getting tired and it was getting late.
"Guys...Please, can we do this later? I'm exhausted. I have test questions to make still, and this place is a mess..." Aguri muttered half heartedly, her head slowly raising up from its slumped position against the small table. The two other occupants at the table just gave her a worried look, her sister starting to speak.
"Sorry, sorry. Still, this guy isn't exactly normal...what if the people who experimented on him want to come get him back? I'm just concerned about your safety..."
"Akari-chan has a point. I'd feel awful if anything happened to her because of me. Which is why I'm only staying tonight; then I'll find somewhere else to go." The Reaper answered, his tone stern as he got up from his seat and motioned to the smaller sister. Akari only let out a small huff, her eyes soft as she watched her sister start to blink her eyes closed, the latter clearly more tired than she had let on. She turned to the large octopus, who only gave a small nod in response as a tentacle began to wrap around her shoulder.
"We should probably get you home, Akari-chan," He whispered, leading the small girl out of the apartment and into the cool night air. It only took them a few seconds to reach the smaller sister's house, the Reaper carefully dropping her off and waiting for her to enter the house entirely as he watched in the shadows, before once again speeding off into the night. He easily arrived at the apartment in a flash, quietly and carefully closing the door before making sure it was locked. Well, now what to do? This place isn't very large but it'll work fine for tonight. He thought, his eyes scanning the small apartment and narrowing at the state it was in. It wasn't very bad, just a little disorganized really, but it made him want to do something about it.
His gaze lingered on the woman snoring softly in the chair, moving closer to her despite the panicked beating of his heart in his chest. He could hear her even breathing, the sound telling him she was soon asleep, yet still felt compelled to place a tentacle on her soft hair. He felt it slide down her soft locks, his sensitive skin feeling every inch of her, before it slowly moved to the bandage on her cheek. He felt a tinge of anger there, and a bit of regret at letting it happen. If only he hadn't been such a coward; if only he had gone to see her sooner, she wouldn't be in such pain. He felt more of his tentacles wrap around her body gently, carefully lifting her out of the chair and cradling her warm body against him. He reveled in the feeling, knowing that he would not have the chance to do so ever again, even though he wanted to very much. He dearly wanted to be close to her, wanted to protect her from her bastard fiancé who treated her like garbage. But how could he, when he was the most dangerous creature on the planet? The government and Yanagisawa would not let him be; he knew that much. So he wanted to treasure this small time he had, alone, with her, even if she wasn't awake to experience it.
"I want...to stay here...with you. For as long as I have left...
