Too Stoic for him?

|•Chapter 3:The WereTiger•|

Third Person POV

It was practically dead silent in the warehouse
as the three sat there waiting for the tiger.
The three sat on crates,Atsushi sitting
on the crates across from Dazai and Y/n who
was sitting on the crate behind Dazai who
been reading his guide to suicide book.
Well they were also using the h/c woman's
mind control ability to communicate. She
had to speak to him through his mind and listen
into his mind while he answered. But to
Atsushi it just looked like he was reading
and the woman was zoned out. What worried
him though is that she was carrying a white
katana that rested on her lap sheathed. In the distance there was the sound of a boat horn,
it sounded like a trumpet playing
it's lowest note it has.

"Dazai-Sam,what are you reading?"He asked
hoping to make some sort of conversation and
cut the awkward and thickening tension.
"A good book."Dazai answered,even though
the man has read that book so many times he still
reads it and always finds it intriguing.
"I'm surprised you can read when it's this dark."
He murmured. "I have good vision. Besides, I already know everything that happens in
this book." The maniac remarked

"Why are you reading it,then?" The boy awkwardly smiled at Dazai. "A good book is always good,
no matter how many times you've already
read it."He stated as the boy went from a smile
to a droopy frown as his eyes became more hooded.
"Will the tiger really show up here?" The boy questioned to himself."It will." Dazai answered
as the boy suddenly gasped in worry, he really
didn't want to be tiger food tonight.

"Don't worry. Even if it shows up, it's no match
for me or Y/n. Neither of us may look like
much, but we're operatives of the Armed
Detective Agency." He reassured the boy who
only smiled at Dazai's confidence that he had.
"You and L/n-san are really confident. I'm kind
of jealous. They called me a good-for-nothing
at the orphanage as far back as I can remember.
And now, I don't even know where I'll sleep
tonight whether I'll be able to earn my keep tomorrow. No one'd care if someone like me
where to die in a ditch somewhere. Yeah,
I maybe better off eaten by a tiger..." The boy
hugged his knees to his chest and burried his
face down, h/c woman furrowed her brows at the boy she simply felt remorse for him.

From the inside you could here the wind picking
up and whistling around "Well, then...I think it'll
be soon." Dazai stated as he looked through
the window to see the clouds clearing up,creating a perfect view of the moon. As sudden...

Crash!

Something in the distance must've
fallen down making aloud crash on the ground
as the Atsushi jolted at the sudden noise
"What?!" He stumbled backwards off the crate
and into the moonlight making you able to see
the sweat that's running down his face.
"I...I just heard something back there."
He stammered "Yeah."Dazai answered blandly
as his focus seem to just be on his book.

"I bet that's the tiger,Dazai-san!L/n-san!"
He exclaimed "No, I think the wind just
knocked something down."Dazai suggested
"It's the man-eater!It's come to eat me!" He cried
as the man suddenly snapped his book shut
creating a loud eco through the warehouse.
"Calm down, Atsushi-kun. Tigers don't show up from places like that." Dazai stated

"How do you know for sure?!"Atsushi protested
right back at him. "Something wasn't quite right
to begin with. Just because their finances
went south, why would an orphanage banish a
child? It's not some farming village from a
bygone era. Banishing one or two mouths to
feed would hardly put a dent in there deficit.
It'd make more sense to downsize by
transferring half of the kids to a different orphanage." Dazai hoped off the crate as Y/n had done the same landing right next to him. She
was simply prepared having her dominant
hand ready on the hilt of the katana to sheathe
out. Out of the corner of her eyes she could see
Dazai smiling proudly making it hard to
tell if it was fake or not.

"What are you talking about,Dazai-san?"
Atsushi asked trying to get what the suicidal
maniac was getting at. "You came to this city
two weeks ago... The tiger also appeared in this
city two weeks ago. You were in the Tsurumi
area four days ago. The tiger was also sighted
there four days ago." Dazai explained as the
boy turned as his pupils began dilating at
the moon. "Remember what Kunikida-kun said?
The Armed Detective Agenvy is comprised
of individuals of supernatural powers. Though
not a well-known fact, there are quite a few individuals who possess supernatural abilities
in this world. Some use their powers to achieve
great success, while others fall into ruin as a
result of being unable to control their powers."
Dazai stated as the boy let out cries as he transformed into the tiger right in front of
the two, making the woman sheathe
the white-blade katana.

"I'm guessing that orphanage staff knew who
the tiger was,but declined to enlighten you.
You were the only one who remained ignorant.
You also have supernatural powers. You have
the ability to transform into a wild beats in
the moonlight." Dazai explained as the tiger
charged up to the both of them striking dow.
The two jumped in the opposite directions from each other easily dodging the attack. They both
took couple a jumps backwards as the tiger
leaped up attempting to pounce on them but
yet again they jumped out of the way. And at
it again the tiger went straight at their heads.
This time as the two ducked their heads
down and manoeuvred their way out.

"This is impressive. You could easily..." Dazai murmured as he jumped over the crates backwards as Y/n flipped over them. Her years in the mafia
made her quick on her feet so thing like this
were like game of tag to her. "Snap a person's neck." Dazai finished off his comment as the two
landed on the other side of the heap of crates.
They slid backwards on their feet until they were
met with the wall. "Y/n."Dazai nodded toward
the woman who did the same as she stepped
forward in front of him. This was something
that needed to be timed perfectly and that
wasn't risk that she could take at all.

"Special Ability:Into Infinity."

Now she wasn't going to put Atsushi into a loop
of infinite teleporting she hardly used this full
ability for that and only had to do it twice.
Dazai wanted her to restrain the tiger which he
knew she was capable of doing perfectly.
The blue glow around her body had defined
her shape really well as she clapped her hands summoning the chains. It was a silent orchestra
she was performing, the chains were like the instruments and she was the conductor. Her
gloved hands made movements as the tiger
closein on her but she was quick enough on
restraining it. Dazai had a genuine proud smile
on his face this time, he wasn't surprised that
she could do it but impressed by the show you
could. He found it beautiful to watch the hand
gestures it wasn't in a weird way but they
were just all so satisfying to him.

"Well then,it wouldn't have be bad if one's end was meet with being eaten by a beast. But in the end
you couldn't and wouldn't be able to kill either
of us." Dazai stride his way over and through
the chains until he was meet with the tiger that
was stuck there. It couldn't move a single muscle at all, he then placed his hand onto the tiger's head

"My ability is...No Longer Human."

My ability allows me to render any other ability
null through simple touch." He stated as the boy returned to his original form. Y/n let out a long
sigh as she deactivated the ability as the chains disappeared into smokes so that the boy wouldn't
get himself tangled up because it ain't fun
untangling them.
