~~Chapter 19~~

.......................................................

Y/n clenches her fist, gritting her teeth. Oh? We don't know, do we? She furrows her eyebrows, knowing Hanako wouldn't want her saying anything that'd piss him off. Telling him he's wrong... Would definitely do so.

Kou and Yashiro sweatdrop at her angry aura. Yashiro lightly pats her shoulder, grabbing her attention. She smiles at her friend, making her calm a tad bit, looking back at the two males in front of them.

"Let me g---!"

"Reformed villains really make me sick. So what if they're good now? Does that erase what they did in the past? What a joke." He puts his face closer to Hanako's. "Don't you see?! It doesn't matter how good you are now, or who you help! You could never take back what you did. Never. Because once a person dies, there's no bringing them back."

Y/n pushes Akane, causing him to let go of the supernatural. "OKAY. We get it!" She yells angrily. "Just shut up already!" She growls. "Are you gonna help us, or not?! We're doing this with or without you, tomato head."

She scoots back to Hanako and grabs his arm, slightly startling him.

Akane stays quiet for a few more seconds, staring at the couple then scoffs. "Yes. I'll help you. I want to catch Mirai just as badly as you do. If you're willing to work with me, I'm glad to have you on the team." He smiles. "Even if you are a murderer." He reaches his hand out. "Here's to doing business with you, No. 7."

The two humans sweatdrops, the female supernatural glares at him, and the male supernatural smirks. "Heh. I like it. Humans like you..." Hanako walks forward, smiling toward the taller male. Y/n refuses to let go of his arm, so she follows him. He grins, holding out his hand. "...Are my favorite kind. Here's to doing business together."

And so... It wasn't the friendliest of arrangements,  but we joined forces once more!

"Still, how do we catch her?" Yashiro asks, her elbows on the table, holding her head in her hand as Mokke eat candy. Akane sat in a chair across her, Kou sat at the end of the table, his arms crossed, and the two other supernaturals sat on a window sill behind Kou.

"Oh! Can't we use your power to freeze her, Akane?" Yashiro looks at said person.

"That's it!" Kou points a finger gun at her.

"It won't work." Akane says. "Mirai is immune to my time freeze. And you saw how ridiculously fast she is. If we give her free rein for a while, she might get it out of her system and come back on her own, but..."

"In the mean time, all of our friends..." Yashiro finishes, hand on her chin.

"And can we really put everyone back to normal?" Kou asks.

"Don't worry about that, the rotten old man will figure that out. But if we let her run free, there's a small chance she could do something to Ao, and when I think of what could happen to her, I... I'm not sure I can maintain my sanity." Akane finishes.

Y/n raises a brow, still holding Hanako's arm close to her. "I thought you already had lost it, to be honest..." She mutters. Hanako shoots her a 'please don't' look, and Akane glares at her. "Try me, bitch."

"Hmmm.... I would if I could." She smiles innocently at the guy, then goes back to thinking while putting her head on Hanako's shoulder. He sighs, but goes back to also spacing out.

Yashiro walks over to Akane, handing him a picture of his crush and telling him to calm down. Meanwhile, Kou looks at the two supernaturals.

He takes a candy, and leans on the sill space next to Hanako, poking him with it. "What's wrong Hanako? You've been awfully quiet."
