Save Me (Illumi Zoldyck x Oc)

Chapter 9

  A day has passed .
Nakume has woken up into a dark deserted room , her wrists hurt so much and looking to make sure her guess was right , it was thick ropes .

"I failed..." She whispered still refusing to cry , refusing to let the tears fall . He's gone , isn't he ?

She knew pessimism won't do anything right yet there she was sulking with hunger and loneliness . A few people passed here and there outside of her room and she could hear some of what they said . Something like a test was supposed to be made today . Soon enough , the footsteps began to falter , she began hearing doors shut , lights visible from the gap between the door and the floor disappearing . She concluded it was probably their sleeping time . She wasn't sure if she was guarded , well , she could hardly move a muscle how would she escape ? Kikyo had already thought she was worthless so letting someone guard her would make it seem like she had any value .

  She sighed . Even at times like these , she couldn't go to sleep , great .

An hour passed ? Two ? Maybe three...she didn't exactly know..

The sound of the unlocking of the door didn't even scare her . She was growing numb to Kikyo's means , she didn't care what she could and would do to her anyway . Nakume had always put others first before herself . But the sight of the boy she had next to her for years made her gasp .

"Hey.." He spoke , his soft voice making her calmer .
Somehow , this scene seemed too familiar .

"Go away , you'll get hurt.." What was he doing right now ? Why is he always so charming even if he didn't remember ?

"Shush , I'm staying here ." Illumi.moved closer to her and held her trembling hands . She pulled them away from him shaking her head . "No , I don't want them to do anything to you because of me! Just go , please..you've had enough already.." Tears . One after another . They finally began falling in worry and fear .

"Sshh , it's okay . Trust me , I made sure the way is safe ." He sat opposite to her , again taking her tied cold hands into his . "I'm sorry . I'm not much of help really ." His hand moved to carress her cheek and wipe the rushing tears . Stubbornly , She kept avoiding his gaze and shaking her head in disapproval mumbling loud enough for him to hear that he still had to leave .
"No it's fine , it's not your fault..but you still should - " Nakume was interrupted by the sudden soft long kiss on her lips wet with tears . The kiss was so deep she felt herself slowly drowning in it and forgetting her surroundings , everything else around her . When Illumi pulled away , he apologetically lowered his head breathing out a "sorry ."
A part of her was running with joy saying "finally!" And "he does feel attracted to me ." While the other was still sulking that he didn't even remember her .

"Why.."

"I um I wanted to stop you from saying I should leave..and I felt the need to kiss you right now I don't know.." the way he said it ,both of them blushed looking away fir a moment .

"Guess I'm usually not that bold , eh?" He giggled to which she grinned and shook her head as a no .

"Then can we have another ?" Illumi asked blushing but his face leaning in closer . Nakume raised her eyebrows , somehow it felt weird to see him like that but neverthless he was still an adorable being!

"N-no you'll make me soft..I won't be so stubborn then so I absolutely disagree ." She was really serious that time , she prevented herself from more kisses because his safety naturally came first .

"Fine then , don't be so stern ." He held her tiny shoulders and gave her a small kiss on her cheek . Her heart fluttered and she found it so hard to hide her happy smile . Illumi probably didn't realize it but his softness had given her hope to get out of there with him .

"Oh by the way , I am sure something was put into me . I just can't quite locate it but my head is super itchy ."

"...My brother has a high sensation of objects . He could feel their presence easily , if you can contact me to him , he'll sure help  ." Hiro was born with it , locating whatever was inserted inside Illumi's head might be useful .

"No . I don't want to involve others . And that will take time , I need to be as normal as I was as soon as possible ." He certainly had a point . She wished him all the luck feeling useless at all since she could hardly help .
"Don't worry , okay ?"
She tried .

..

The next day however , she knew what that test was supposed to be . A test of killing for Illumi . Adding to the flame of her entertainment , Kikyo had Nakume present to watch her friend brutally murdering a butler and eventually , as obvious , murdering her too . Why was everything growing worse and worse by each passing second ? It was too unfair for them . Yet it felt like all of that needed to happen so that they could take their step which they had slept on all these years .

With Illumi holding a knife , Nakume on the floor tied , A butler strong enough to look emotionless before death and Kikyo giggling , is that the situation that awaited them for so long ? Which they always ran away from ?
