chapter seventeen: pieris napi

"Seriously? You want to help these guys? Do you actually want them to stick around? What the hell, Y/N?" Tsukishima whisper shouts at you from where you both stand behind the bus.

"I agree with Tsukki," Kuroo nods. "Those guys are fucking trouble. We should let them go before something bad happens."

"But nothing bad is going to happen! Osamu won't hurt us as long as his brother needs my help and he knows I won't help if something happens to you guys, too," you tell them.

"And what about the brother? What about Atsumu?" Tsukishima continues.

"He's hurt. He wants my help. I could tell even though he didn't say anything."

"I don't trust them," Tsukishima says as he shakes his head and crosses his arms.

"I never said I trust them!" you groan. "But I'm still going to help."

"You're really going to go right now? We just got back, can't you at least wait 'til morning to leave?" Tsukishima then offers.

"I'd rather go now in case something happens to Yachi or the others. I want to make sure they've all got everything they need. It's nearby. It'll be quick and I'll be fine."

"At least let me go with you," the both of them say at the same time.

"Tsukishima, thank you for the offer," you address to him first, "but I need you to say here with the bus and you know why. Kuroo, truly, I'll be okay."

"Then just let me tag along behind you. You won't even know that I'm there," he insists. You look over at Tsukishima's upset face before finally giving in.

"Fine, but hurry up and let's go."

About five minutes later, you and Kuroo wave goodbye to Tsukishima, Kenma, and Bokuto before walking off. You keep to the sides of the roads, staying hidden as much as possible, until you finally arrive at the old office where you used to work before the whole world shut down.

You reach into your pocket for the key to the chained lock you have around the front doors. You quickly unlock it and allow yourselves in. The inside of the office is completely dark except for the light shining from between the windows you boarded up yourself to prevent intruders from getting inside.

"My room is over here to the left," you call to Kuroo as you walk past the nurse's station. However, just as your hand reaches the doorknob, the front doors are burst open once more as if yet another patient was about to be rolled in.

"Not so fast, you two!" a man shouts.

You turn to face the front door to see a man with short blond hair and two black stripes running vertically down his head.

"Who the hell are you?" Kuroo asks as he blocks the man's view of you behind him.

"My name is none of your damn business," the man smirks as he holds up a heavy-looking machine gun.

"Seriously," you grumble. "Hey, dude, we don't have time for this. Take whatever shit you want and leave us alone!"

"Yeah, like that'll happen," Kuroo says sarcastically. "He'll totally just wait until you've got Osamu's gun and kill him first, too. I'm sure he understands."

"What's that for?" you now begin to bicker with your companion. "You're really going to be a dick right now?"

"Well, apparently you still help people even when they are complete assholes," he replies irritatedly.

"I already told you I'm not doing this just for him. I'm also going to get stuff for Yachi, Alisa, and Lev!"

"Will the two of you stop?! You sound fucking insane!?" the man with the machine gun interrupts.

You finally leave Kuroo alone and look straight into your assailant's eyes. "You look hurt," you say as you begin to slowly approach him. "We're here because this is my office. I'm a doctor. If you're hurt, I can help you."

You hear Kuroo scoff from behind you.

"I don't need your fucking help, I need you out of my goddamn way, bitch!"

When you get close enough to the man, you reach out your hand palm up. "You've got a pretty bad wound on your head. Is there anything I can do?"

"I already said no, goddammit," he shouts as he points his gun straight to your forehead. In an instant, you grab his wrist and force his arm up. He fires the gun multiple times into the ceiling. Kuroo charges up from behind you and tackles the guy to the ground. In the mix of the confusion, the gun falls to the ground and you pick it up.

"I don't save everyone," you say with narrowed eyes to Kuroo. "I was actually going to help this piece of shit. Get out of the way before you go to hell with him."

The moment Kuroo moves out of the way, you land a good twenty to thirty rounds into the man's body.

"Well that's fucking gross," Kuroo comments as he stands up.

"Let's move it outside. There's a garbage disposal in the back of the building," you plan.

Kuroo agrees and the two of you move the body out of your way.

"Ah, shit. I'm gonna throw up," he mutters as you pull the blonde's body through the office.

"It's disgusting but I didn't really have a choice."

"Well thank goodness you didn't decide to tear my body up like that, too, or I'd come back to haunt you without a fucking doubt," he scoffs.

"Why are you in such a mood today?" you groan as you burst open the back door leading outside to the disposal.

"Jesus, Y/N," Kuroo huffs as the two of you toss the corpse into the huge waste container in the back of your doctor's office. "I'm tossing a dead body into a bin after you just promised you'd help two other guys that wanted to kill us! I can't figure you out!"

"I'm not asking you to! You're the one who wanted to stick around in the first place hoping it'll be 'fun'. Hate to break it to you Tetsuro, but there is no goddamn thing in this world anymore. If you don't like that then fucking leave! I'm trying to save people's lives! I have Bokuto and Yachi and Lev, Alisa, and Atsumu relying on me to keep them alive! I don't have time to entertain whatever game you're hoping to play here!"

Kuroo wipes the blood from his hands onto the sides of his pants. "Yeah, no shit, Y/N. I'm sorry for trying to find a few people and make a decent life out of this fucking mess instead of rolling over and dying myself but I guess a doctor like you doesn't see through that lens. I'm out of here."

With that, he storms off in a hurry. You watch as he walks away, unsure of what to say or do in response, but if he just wants to go then that's his decision, not yours. Your only hope is that maybe he'd come back for Kenma at the very least.
