A Second Chance

Chapter 43

3rd Person's P.O.V

"OSAMU!!" Tsukiyomi screamed out in terror.

Tears cascaded down her cheeks when she couldn't hold them back anymore. She felt pain; emotional pain. She could use her ability, but all she thought of then was the replaying scene when the brunette had been pierced by the weapon.

Blood pooled beneath the fallen brunette, painting his brown coat a dark brownish-red colour as it absorbed the liquid.

"Now that the danger is gone, we will be taking the copycat with us." The blonde male sneered before he tugged onto the chains that held Tsukiyomi, causing her to trip on her feet and fall forward, hitting the hard ground. He then started walking towards his female target. He took his time to take each and every step; as if taunting the rest and causing them grief when they could do nothing and watch.

Shinse and Sasan struggled with their binds, but their efforts end up with no results. It was futile.

"Osamu-san, say something!" Tsukiyomi ignored her own position. All she was thinking was wanting to make sure that he still is alive. "Osamu!"

"I'm not dead yet..." A soft whisper left Dazai as he slowly turned to face Tsukiyomi. "Why do you *cough* look like that? It might make me think that I'm really dead." Blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth when he coughed but he wiped it away with the back of his hand.

"You're alive..." Tsukiyomi cried as her head fell forward, allowing her bangs to cover over her face to hide how much she was happy that he was still able to talk that much. But that doesn't mean he's well enough to move.

"Tsk, that wasn't deep enough to kill you? Well, it will be easier now." The voice of her enemies brought her out from her trance. Their words pissed her off and anger drove as an emotional energy while a dark scowl pulled onto her face.

Her head tilted up to meet the blonde male stopping in his tracks a few meters away from her, his eyes set on the injured Dazai who was throwing him a glower despite having a hole in his stomach.

"I despise that look kid. Wipe it away or else I will kill you." The blonde male growled out. Dazai's glare only hardened in response. Angered, he closed the distance. Before he could take a third step, Tsukiyomi snarled at him. "Take one more step and I will kill you."

"Your threat means nothing when you're chained down like that, little girl."

Rage painted across Tsukiyomi's face as her hands were clenched tightly into fist; to the point where they could be see trembling. Her eyes took a shade darker and the scowl only seem to create a more frightening look—a sinister appearance. With a string of words, she activated her ability and the chains were forced to disable themselves. Since they were connected together, the chains on Shinse and Sasan were removed too. Pushing herself off the ground, she stood on her feet slowly.

Being able to turn around now, Shinse felt shivered crawling down to his toes when he chanced a look at Tsukiyomi.

Another set of words left her lips before she created a wall of force field and slammed it straight into the blonde male's body, causing him to fly back a distance and collide with the male with dyed hair.

"Can you guys take on the twins, Shinse, Sasan-san?" Tsukiyomi asked the katana wielding girl.

"I can take him on. But..." Sasan stated as she sheathed her katana back into its scabbard and glanced at Shinse for a brief moment. Shinse caught her look. He then understood her unasked question. "What are you going to do, Tsuki? If we both take on the twins, there's two more left."
