Mind Strings and the Demon's Extract ( Esdeath x Male Reader)

Discovered Heart

The battle continued, everyone at their own fight. Y/n and Akame were against each other nonstop, and it wasn't until a massive explosion messed up everyone's battles.

Y/n ended up crashing between some trees and some bushes. It took a while for the dust caused by the sudden and unexpected explosion was now fading off.

Coughing, and trying to seek for clean air, Y/n had to literally crawl himself further into the forest he found himself in.

He didn't notice his head was bleeding until he sat down properly against a huge rock. He probably hit his head on something when the explosion happened.

Y/n glanced at his leg and saw how badly injured he got. Not only the side of his head was bleeding but the skin of his leg was burned.

He was lucky that it was only injured and not blown off his body.

"The actual hell just happened?" He whispered to himself and groaned in pain as he tried to stand up, "Damn it! My new pants," he complained to himself, "bitch cost 3,000 yen."

Despite the pain, he dragged his injured leg and started walking. Seems that Akame was blown elsewhere as well.

As y/n continued his way out of the forest, there were no signs of any of the Jaegers or Night Raid. The sun was burning like never before and it was truly exhausting.

Y/n could just hope that Bols and Kurome are fine. It was strange that he was somewhat worried for them.

After a long walk and struggling to keep on going, y/n came across Kurome who appeared to be holding something. She was standing with two of her puppets, Natala and Doya.

He walked closer and finally saw what she was holding. She was holding a head, the night raid member's head, Chelsea's.

"I'm glad you are alive, Y/n-san," she said and smiled weakly. Even she looks exhausted, weak and soon to die.

Y/n's POV

After a half an hour of walking, I've finally arrived at the empire with an unconscious Kurome in my arms. She looks pretty bad. The guards called out on Wave and Run to aid me and Kurome.

Wave took Kurome in his arms as Run helped me to walk inside.

"This is all my fault! For not being able to arrive earlier!" Wave cried.

Was he serious? Anyway, I started to make my way to my room when Run decided to help me reach there.

"You should lay down while I take a look at your injuries," he said.

"I'm fine, I don't need to lay down, thank you," I said and he nodded.

"Alright. Suit yourself, but please I must disinfect your wound before it gets worse," he said looking at my leg, "I'll be back to help you clean up those wounds," he said and gently smiled as he walked out.

Finally he left, I couldn't bear the pain anymore.

"Shit!" I groaned and ripped the cloth of my pants to reveal my injured leg. I was really damn lucky my leg wasn't blown off, I was close to the explosion. Without my leg I'd be completely useless.

Thinking about the explosion, Bols is gone. At least Kurome avenged him, she did something I failed to do once again.

I failed Kaori again. Why? Why can't I just get over this with.
