DeathAngel [Akutagawa x Reader]

Chapter 39

I knew I had won as Ivan smiled at me.

"Well you only have mere hours to live so consider it done." He said as I saw him grab my dagger in my hand, which was restrained.

"A few hours?" I asked confused. Usually the effect last 2 days.

Ivan smirked, not answering as he twirled the blade around his fingers.

"Well, sleep well." Ivan said as he thrust the blade towards my chest.

However, something dark and black hit Ivan from behind as I felt the hands holding me up disappeared.

I was falling towards the ground but something caught me before I could hit the ground.

"Y/n!" Akutagawa's voice said as I snapped my arms open.

Akutagawa was staring at me with worried eyes, holding me as anger and hurt flashed through me.

"Let me go." I muttered out weakly as I tried to push myself out of his arms.

"You idiot." Akutagawa muttered as I scoffed.

"Let me go." I said again, refusing to look at Akutagawa.

"Stop it." Akutagawa said as I squirmed in his grip.

"Stop struggling." He said again as I stopped and stared at him.

Tears were streaming out of my eyes again as Akutagawa's eyes flashed with guilt.

I was finally able to get myself free from Akutagawa's grip as I stumbled upright, but fell back to my knees.

"Don't." I said as I saw Akutagawa take a step forward to help me.

"I don't need your help." I said as I stumbled upright, legs trembling.

Atsushi-kun was in beast form as he leapt at Ivan.

"My, my." Ivan said as he smashed Atsushi-kun out of the way.

"If it isn't the boy whom the girl was ready to sacrifice everything for." Ivan said as Akutagawa tensed.

"What?" He asked as I glared at Ivan.

Ivan smiled, turning to me.

"She convinced me that killing her would be much better than playing with her, before the virus took over." Ivan said as Akutagawa's eyes widened in horror.

"You're infected?" Akutagawa asked as I didn't meet his gaze, only staring at Ivan.

From my peripheral vision, I saw Akutagawa's eyes fall onto the bloody cut on my arm as he inhaled sharply.

"Y/n..." Akutagawa started but I didn't look at him.

"Fyodor would be glad if I died right now." I said as Akutagawa's eyes widened at my words.

Ivan smiled. "He sure would." He said as he saw the white flame on Akutagawa's shoulder.

"I'm guessing that is what connects you to the victims to grant them an extra 24 hours." Ivan said as I nodded.

"It is." I said as Akutagawa glanced at me.

"What are you doing, y/n?" Akutagawa asked as I looked back at him.

"Don't try to protect me either, Akutagawa." I said as Akutagawa had a look of hurt and guilt.

I didn't even try to dodge as a rock hand grabbed me from under as I felt faint and dizzy as it dragged me to Ivan.

I saw Akutagawa whip forward but Ivan clicked his tongue.

"I wouldn't try that." He said, the stone fist gripped onto me tighter making me cry out in pain as I felt my ribs bend.
