A Second Chance

Chapter 14

Tsukiyomi's P.O.V

I stood rooted to the ground, mouth forming a thin line while my gaze never linger as I look front. No matter how much I tried to compose myself, my body just continue to tremble there and then. My mind couldn't believe and comprehend what I was seeing, or who I'm seeing with my eyes. Tears threatened to gather at my eyes, but I held it in. I didn't want to show anyone what I was feeling at that moment.

Shock, anxiety, disgust and most of all, fear.

"Tsuki-chan?/Akira-san?" Sensing my hesitation, Dazai and Atsushi called out my name softly, but none of their voices reached me. My mind blocked out everything. The only thing that I could hear was the loud thumping sound of my heart beating fast and furiously.

The two figures who were sitting on the couch in front gasp in shock as they stood up immediately once their eyes set its sight on me. Their eyes were as wide as saucers as they stared at my figure while their mouth kept gaping open and close like a fish out of water.

Seconds later, my lips parted slightly to say something but the two figures in front spoke first, which broke me out of my trance.

The male figure spoke: "...Tsukiyomi...? I-Is that y-you..?"

Hearing that, my eyes glazed over as I glared darkly at the male. Walking further in and stood by the side of the door as I held the door open and gave space for Dazai and Atsushi to walk into the room. Closing the door, I turned and stood beside the President while Dazai came and took his stand beside me with Atsushi.

"What is the meaning of this President?" My dark eyes glower dangerously at said man as I growled. Ignoring my glare, he replied: "They are our clients and they asked us for our help."

Narrowing my eyes, my gaze turned and looked towards the two figures who have calmed down slightly and sat back onto the couch, though their eyes were still wide and staring at me.

The President fake coughed before he said: "They came to our Agency yesterday night, requesting our assistance in.. something they could not handle on our own. But it was already late in the night and most of our fighter members of the Agency had already went home, so I asked them to file in a slip to request our assistance and come back tomorrow, which was this morning." He paused for a moment before continuing his explanation, "I took a look at it in when I came into the Agency this morning and was...taken aback."

"Taken aback? The President was shocked?! Oh no oh no!!!! We are g--"

In irritation, I smack the palm of my hand on the back of Dazai's head. "Shut up, it is annoying... It's not like it is the end of the world." Dazai rub the area where he was assaulted and gave me a cheeky smile.

"Tsuki... Are.. you r-really h-here..?" The female stuttered as she trembled.

"Ermm... Akira-san.. Do you know them?" Atsushi question as he leaned forward to look at me. I turned to frown at him with glazed over eyes, mentally asking him to 'keep quiet'. Seeing my expression, Atsushi got the message to be quiet and went back to his original position, not wanting to question me anymore.

"Know them...Well... They are her--"

"My parents." I interjected. Venom laced in my voice as I said darkly, in which Dazai noticed. "WHAATTTTTT?!!!!" Atsushi exclaimed, utterly shock by the two words that left my mouth. "Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Your P-P-P-P-Parents..?!!!"

The President then turned, looking at Atsushi as he replied back to him before turning to me. "Yes. They are her parents. I didn't notice till I saw the names when I read through the file they gave me this morning. The male is Hajiro Akira while the female is Shizuni Akira. Which is why Akira, I called you over to hear what they have to say. From the reason why they want to request for our help, I thought it was better to as for you to join in this too."
