Steal The Male Lead

5.11

Ushi Hina turned into stone upon Narisa Zeno's question. Her body froze as every part of her screamed to take flight. Without her noticing, her fingers lightly trembled. She should've known, Narisa Zeno was only playing a game. He was watching to see what their every actions were going to lead to. Now, they've made a fool in front of the most dangerous man in the school.

"I-...Zeno, give me some time, alright. I understand that you did give us a warning even before and I also fully understand that I," Ushi Hina began speaking fast, as if she was trying to find any way to calm down Narisa Zeno.

"Hina, you shouldn't bother me for such small matters like this then." With that Narisa Zeno smirked, his eyes flickering. Throwing a glance to Tendou Yagami whom merely shook his shoulders, Narisa Zeno continued, "I think you know fully well what I have decided to do. Or, at least what I'm going to do. Don't you remember how I climbed to this spot? I may have been quiet for a year, I may have retreated back but that doesn't mean that I am weaker now. It seems like it's time for me to step up to my spot once again, right, Hina?"

As Ushi Hina heard those words, her eyes widened. No! What have they done? Narisa Zeno had kept quiet for one year. For that one year, he tried not to get into fights, he controlled Lucifer to not make any trouble. Because of this one year, the rest of the gang leaders were able to get back onto their feet, they were able to forget about the horrendous things Narisa Zeno had done.

Within her silence, there was an unimaginable fear. She had watched it happened herself. Even though she was only there for a matter of seconds, she still suffered from fractures and broken bones afterward.

Tendou Yagami watched Ushi Hina's reaction. Noticing that the woman seemed to be stuck in a hallucination of some sort, he turned to Narisa Zeno as he asked, "Should we go?"

Narisa Zeno turned to look at Ushi Hina once more. Noticing that she was frozen in fear, he simply smiled and nodded his head. "Let's go, I'm sure that Akita has already talked to Kaneki and Karma by now."

Without another word, the two walked out of the room. They left without knowing what kind of fear they were inflicting on the person who was still remaining inside.

Ushi Hina didn't even notice the two of them leaving before she suddenly grasped her rib, a dull ache responding from it. All it took was one punch. With that, her ribs almost punctured through her organs. She bit her lips, conflicting emotions within her eyes as she tried to plan a way out of the trap she had led herself into. Ultimately, she came out with nothing and was unable to hide the strangled scream that came out of her as she teared at her hair. What should she do now?

On Narisa Zeno's side, he and Tendou Yagami walked together. Since he had made a move, Narisa Zeno had long since prepared for any counterattacks and ruled out any possible attacks he and Lucifer would face. It wasn't hard, high school students couldn't compare to the worlds he had previously lived in.

"So you've decided on everything?" Tendou Yagami was the first to break the silence. His eyes wondered to Narisa Zeno, losing the normal snarky look from within them. Now, he was actually curious about what Narisa Zeno was trying to do. But for now, it was only curiosity. It was not yet love.

Narisa Zeno smiled with that question, losing his sternness from before. "Definitely, I wouldn't make a move until I'm sure that everything is in place. I felt that I've given them enough time to change but, it seems like my initial thinking was wrong. Well, I'm not too surprised by what they did. They only stopped bothering you because they knew that you wouldn't hesitate to break them. If that wasn't the case, maybe now you would still be drifting here and there, not in Lucifer."

Hearing that, Tendou Yagami suddenly smiled. It was a smile that lighted his normally cold face, and it lighted up his eyes that seemed to always be filled with ridicule. "No, I feel that sooner or later, something would've pulled me towards this path. You know, I still don't believe that you love me."
