Revealed
You rush inside with Kiyoomi as the ballroom's walls turn into particles. "Lev! Behind me!" You call.
He swiftly does so and Akaashi fires into the courtyard. "Enemy spotted." He states.
"There's four of them." Kenma informs just as your brother and three others jump onto the level you were on.
"Kage." You breathe, feeling some of the others move behind you.
"Ah. You know my name." He smiles and you steadily approach him. "We keep running into each other don't we? Maybe we're supposed to kill each other huh? Only one should have Burst. Wouldn't you agree?" He says lowly.
"Is that why you attacked first?" You ask.
"Of course. You thought the same too right?" His eyes pierce yours. "This power is too much for two to have it. One should be eliminated."
"What the hell are you talking about dude? You're family!" Atsumu snaps.
"I have no family. And I don't need any. In the end everyone is disposable." He breathes, left hand suddenly moving but you catch it in your left hand.
"Not them." You whisper, swinging your right fist into his jaw. The other three enemies move but your dormmates collide with them. Yaku and Shirabu guarding Lev.
"Oh? You sure they will stick around?" Your brother sneers. "Face it. I see blood in your eyes. No one stays with a murderer!" He snaps. You freeze, making his lips curl up. "That's right. I know what happened to Dagger. We used to have cameras everywhere in there you know. Then one day some mysterious person walks in. Raises their hand and Dagger disappears from the map."
You shake slightly at that, blood running cold. "What's he talking about ___?" Kiyoomi asks.
"Oh? They don't know you killed almost two hundred people? They don't know how you hollowed out their leader and left his shell in the mud?" Kage grins as you seem to still entirely.
"___…?" Bokuto murmurs. Kage suddenly kicks you away and you go tumbling as some of the others are sent tumbling as well.
"Goodbye disposables." Kage raises his left hand to but you swiftly bring up your right hand, the air rippling in front of him.
The others move back at that and you carefully stand up, keeping your right hand aimed at him. Your mind felt like it was rattling as you swallow, stepping in front of the others.
"Yeah. I did it. But how can you tell the people you care about? Was I supposed to say, 'Oh yeah! While I was out falling apart looking for my friend, I killed a lot of people! And I didn't feel a damn thing!'..." You say in distress. "In the end I'm just a selfish monster that will do anything to keep what I have."
"___…” Kiyoomi murmurs.
"And that's the tea!" Kage laughs. "Now disappear." His smile falls and the air starts to ripple dangerously.
"You think I'll be kind this time." You breathe, pushing back and stepping forward, making the wall inch toward him. He pauses, trying to push more but to no effect as you take another step forward. A tear was starting to appear now. A flicker of blue catches your eye and you close your right hand as a bluish blade slashes his left hand, making it unravel.
"Shit!" He hisses, holding his left hand as you seal the rip, moving forward and punching him again.
Black water crashes into the other enemies, slinging them across the estate. Kage glares at you, right hand lighting up before he punches you in return, a blast sending you through the wall.
"___!" Daishou calls out.
"Reneta!" Kage shouts in agitation, and a silver haired woman appears at his side, repairing his left hand. "There we go." He smirks, moving to raise his left hand again but Midnight's heel meets his face, sending him flying back. Midnight twists, one of his blade's bursting Kage's hand again, the other slicing at the woman but she swiftly returns to hiding.
"I'm tagging in now… Get up ___." Midnight calls out to you.
"Fucking… Gimme a minute." You try to get up, the world spinning.
"Ah… You're still alive!?" Kage bursts in annoyance. "Reneta!" He shouts for repair again. Midnight moves to attack him but a shadow spear flies in from the courtyard, slicing his thigh.
"Tch." Midnight pivots slightly, dodging another one as a wall of black water shields him from more. "Why are the rest of you just sitting back?" Midnight questions them.
"Don't look away from your prey bastard!" Kage growls, glowing right hand swiping at Midnight's head suddenly but Kiyoomi stomps Kage's stomach, knocking him back.
"Just forgot to move." He breathes when Midnight looks at him.
"Glad you remembered how." Midnight rumbles.
"___! You okay?" Daishou comes through the hole, touching your back.
"The fuck did he hit me with? Everything's spinning like crazy…" You huff nauseated.
"Um, his hand. Looks like he has two quirks." He helps you to your feet. "Come on. Pull yourself together."
"Working on it." You touch your head, seeming to see clearly now.
"Sakusa!!" Atsumu calls out, making you jump back through the hole. Kiyoomi falls back, one of his legs unraveling as Midnight forces Kage and the silver haired woman back.
"I'm sorry Kiyoomi!" You gasp kneeling beside him, left hand pulling his leg back together. Once it's restored Kiyoomi covers his mouth to muffle a cry of pain. "Sorry! Sorry!" You gasp teary eyes.
"___! I need you!" Midnight calls. You blink and hurry over, spinning around him and bursting Kage's right hand as it lights up. You catch his left hand before he can burst you. Midnight moves for the woman as she flickers about, suddenly kicking him in the head.
"Shit. Damn you." Kage hisses out. "I'm supposed to be stronger… Why did you have to be born? You're in the way." He snarls.
"Just surrender Kage. You can't fight anymore." You manage.
"I have a better idea. Show them who you really are… Or lets all go to hell together." He grins viciously, a light starting to pulse under his skin and he starts to grow bigger.
"He's self-destructing!" Midnight shouts, dispatching the silver haired woman. Your eyes widen as you look up at Kage. He was going to make you kill him.
"Do it ___! Or your disposables are gonna die!" He laughs. Your right hand twitches.
"As you wish." You whisper swiping with your right hand and making him burst. The red cloud lingers and you wipe the sweat from your chin, looking at the others briefly.
"Boss! I found their ship! Let's go take them down!" Rakurai chimes landing on a skull.
"___." Midnight prompts.
"Right." You turn and move to join them but someone grabs your left hand. You look back and meet Daishou's serious gaze.
"Come back in one piece." He breathes. Your eyes widen at that. Even now? After everything? He still wanted you around? Your eyes warm with tears and you turn to him, getting down on one knee, forehead resting against the back of his hand that still held yours.
'If Lev Haiba is a prince. Then Suguru Daishou is a King.' You think, lifting your head to meet his gaze and kiss his knuckle. Daishou gives you a nod and you stand up before turning and joining the villains.
"Let's finish it." You breathe. Rakurai grins, chains wrapping around you three before the rest lift you all up and takes you away from the estate.
"... What just happened? Did we win?" Lev inquires, completely lost.
"Doesn't feel like it…" Bokuto murmurs frowning heavily. "Is ___ okay?"
"I think… ___ feels like we're going to abandon them…" Akaashi frowns lightly.
"Well? Are you?" Daishou turns to them. "If so maybe it's for the best. Shows how weak your resolve was from the beginning." He states coolly. "I think it says alot when ___ will cross lines like that just to keep you all here."
"They hate me." You whisper, looking down at the city as Rakurai's chains bring you over it like a spider.
"What?? Hate ya? I don't think thats it ___.” Death huffs to frowning lightly and looking past you at Midnight.
"Why wouldn't they? I lied to them… A lot. My hands are covered in blood… And I'm… Just not worth it…" You frown rubbing your temple.
"Don't run now." Midnight says and you look at him. "You'll regret it."
"Heh. Right as always…" Your lips pull up.
"Eh? I thought we wanted ___ to join us?" Rakurai tilts his head with a pout.
"Not like this." Midnight responds. "Are we close?"
"Mhm." Rakurai points to a yacht at the harbor.
"I can take it all out right now." You breathe, reaching out your right arm.
"___!” Midnight's call too late as an old man appears in front of you.
"You rats should've just taken the win." He rumbles before he backflips and kicks you higher into the sky.
"___!" Rakurai calls, setting Midnight and Death down, lightning over him as he glares at the enemy who calmly lands on a nearby building.
'So tired… I'm tired of getting hit, tired of them crying out my name…' You twist in the air, pointing at the man. 'Tired of you.' Then poof! A red cloud takes his place. Rakurai catches you with his chains quickly. He seemed to be saying something but you can't hear him over your mind buzzing. You roll out of chains, landing in the alley below and continuing for the harbor. 'Maybe… I should just become a vill-'
"Come back in one piece." Daishou's voice sounds behind you and stop, looking back to see no one.
"Yes boss. Right after this." You breathe quickly continuing on, Rakurai and the other two joining you.
"___? You okay?" Death asks you warily.
"Yeah. Sorry. Lost myself for a moment." You admit.
"Stress is getting to you." Midnight remarks.
"You need a vacation." Rakurai nods making you laugh out.
"As if I'm lucky enough to have one!" You say bitterly, reaching the Harbor. You look over the yacht as the anchors start to raise. "Sorry guys. It's far too late for that." You breathe swiping out with your arm, it comes unravelled as the upper portion of the yacht becomes particles. You fall on your butt to repair your arm. "Death. Handle the rest." You request.
"On it." He rumbles, moving forward, bringing a giant black wave out of the ocean to slam down on the rest of the yacht, sinking it without mercy. "Done boss." He turns back giving a thumbs up.
"Good job." You and Midnight say together before pausing.
"Ah… My bad Midnight." You murmur as Rakurai kicks a rock pouting.
"I wanted to kill someone today…" He grumbles as Midnight helps you to your feet.
"You should return to them." Midnight breathes.
"Yeah… Wish I had brought my phone. Gonna be a long walk back." You sigh.
"Not if I throw you." Rakurai points to himself.
"... Yeah I'm sure if they don't want to catch me I can just go splat." You hum. Death smacks you at that, making you wince and look at him in surprise.
"What makes ya so sure they won't act out like you did when ya were looking for Tendo eh? Stop assuming wifout proof. Now. Get ya ass tossed back ta yer buddies and give em hugs cause they all must be worried about ya." He folds his arms.
"Oh. He became a wolf…" You mutter. You and Midnight pat his head. Making him sigh heavily. "Thanks Kobalt." You offer a small smile before hugging him. He blinks and touches your back softly.
"I might not know a lot about love… But I know what it looks like when ya have people that care about ya…" He breathes. "Now get goin."
"Alright. I think we came from that way." Rakurai points. Death and Midnight straighten, seeming a bit alarmed before looking at you as the black chain wraps around you.
"Ssssplat." You hiss to them just before Rakurai throws you.
"Rakurai, I swear ta god ya better be right." Death points at him.
"Still not sure. But I saw that owl guy so I aimed for him." Rakurai waves his hand.
"... Rakurai… I love having you around." Midnight snickers.
"Awww.. Boss…" Rakurai blushes giving a shy wave in response.
"Look at him all blushy. Ya cute lil bastard." Death rumbles ruffling his hair.
You and Bokuto collide, tumbling through the air until he straightens up, holding you upside down. "B-Babe?"
"That hurt…" You murmur as he swiftly flips you upright.
"Sorry. You okay?" He touches your cheek. You meet his gaze before resting your head on his chest.
"Not really… But the threat is gone so let's go back." You respond.
"Alright… But let me say this.." He swallows. "Thank you. For making that hard decision for us." He breathes.
You can't find your voice to respond to that, and he holds you a bit tighter, flying back with you and landing, setting you down. You pause as they rush to hug you, even the very confused prince joins in.
"Why?" You murmur.
"You act like it would be easy for us to turn away now." Oikawa huffs.
"You still…." You trail off and Kiyoomi hugs you tightly.
"I will. Always." He answers. Tears come to your eyes and you grip the back of his shirt, burying your face in his shoulder and sinking to your knees with him.
"Thank you."
After that Lev invites everyone to stay the night in the west wing of the mansion letting the pros take over. Everyone got their own ridiculously big room for the night.
You felt sore still, not able to fall asleep even though your eyes demanded it from your earlier breakdown. Now you sat at the window, looking out quietly, hugging your knees to your chest. You felt better, but still uneasy over everything. You couldn't bring yourself to fully trust their words, because it all seemed so unbelievable that they still loved you after everything was put on the table like that.
"You know. You should really get some sleep." Daishou's voice makes you squeak out and almost fall off your seat. He chuckles lightly at that, tail helping you steady. "Sorry. Guess you didn't hear my soft knock from across this big ass room."
"No. I didn't." You shake your head and peer about the mostly empty room. "Why are they so big anyway?"
"Don't know but I sure envy them… Though my room at the agency is almost this big." He smiles thoughtfully, sitting across from you. "Hmm.. You don't look happy, so you must be in denial right?" He guesses tilting his head as he peers at you.
"Yeah. I mean… How could they still want me around after everything?" You sigh.
"Would you still want them around if they had been the ones to do it?" He questions.
"Of course I would. They're not bad guys they're just doing what they need to-- Oh…" Your shoulders slump.
"There it is. Shows that you understand now." He pokes your nose. "I'm glad you came back though. For a moment I wasn't sure if you were." He breathes leaning his cheek into his palm. You shift, meeting his gaze.
"I wasn't going to. But I heard your voice… It was so loud I turned around… So thanks Daishou…" You murmur. He blinks before smiling widely.
"You know… I'm so glad we met. You make me feel so good sometimes." He chuckles happily. You blink and chuckle to, moving closer and hugging him. He hugs you back tightly, nuzzling your shoulder.
"I'm glad we met too… You're the best king ever." You breathe.
"... King?" He mutters in confusion you pull back blushing lightly.
"... I meant boss." You cough.
"But you said king and now I'm curious to know why." He smiles taking your hand between his.
"It was just a random thought I had when you stopped me earlier…" You scoff looking to the side. He chuckles in amusement, tail swishing happily behind him as his lips press against your fingertips.
"Yeah. That gesture of yours did feel knightly." He hums thoughtfully.
"You're really enjoying this aren't you." You huff smiling a bit.
"Of course. I'm incredibly happy right now. I like everything you're saying." He responds, moving your hand to his cheek and closing his eyes. "Let me sleep in here tonight. It's a bit cold here and reptiles don't do well in the cold."
"Okay. We should get some sleep."
"Yeah…" He yawns as you both head to the bed. "Bed's so damn big too.."
"Right?" You agree crawling in and meeting him in the middle, cuddling up to him. He smiles holding you close.
"I'm a king…"
"Oh no… Daishou."
"It's too late now. I'm going to embrace it."
"Your majesty please get ahold of yourself."
"I really like that."
"You're… Something else boss…"
