End
Akuma felt strange suddenly, all at once a feeling of despair hit her followed by numbness... What was wrong with her? Why was she feeling this way? There was a certain electricity in the air which put her on edge all the more, something was about to happen.
Juuzou entered her bedroom his torso completely visible to her along with his injuries from their battle, Akuma's had healed before she returned luckily. Juuzou stopped mid-step smiling to Akuma innocently.
"What's the matter Akuma-chan?"
"Somethings not right... For whatever reason you seem weirder than usual..."
"Ah~ I wonder." There was a strange glint in his eye, something was very wrong, Akuma scoffed.
"I don't feel like dealing with you, get outta my room!" She had meant for her tone to be venomous but it merely sounded tired and lifeless.
"Oh! By the way, I almost forgot to tell you!" She layed back on her bed with a sigh, what was up with her? "I had camera's installed."
"Camera's?"
"Yep, in the living room, kitchen, your room and the bathroom." He said casually as he began to pull on a clean white shirt.
"YOU DID WHAT?! THAT'S SO CREEPY!" Akuma cried in disgust, "what the hell are you some kinda freaky pervert?!" Juuzou giggled childishly.
"No, no of course not!"
Cameras... In her room... Was she? Did they catch her when Ai... Oh no.
"Wh-when were they installed? Have you been watching me in the bathroom?!" Akuma attempted to play off the situation as something far less serious than it actually was.
"No! Why would I do that?! They were installed while I was at work and you were killing people!"
She was caught.
"I'm a waitress not an assassin!" She yelled as she crossed her arms over her chest. "I don't want you watching me change! Take the cameras out! Destroy the footage, if I catch you peeping at me you'll wish a ghoul had gotten you first!"
"Oh how scary~" Juuzou cooed, "but I can't destory anything, the cameras are directly linked to CCG headquarters, we're being watched by investigators right now." That glint appeared in his eye once more. He had her trapped and he knew it the moment he walked through the front door.
That boy was more intelligent than she had given him credit, it was too late for her to take any course of action now.
"By the way," Shinohara appeared in the doorway just behind Juuzou, "we caught your sister as she was leaving. Put up one hell of a fight but luckily she wasn't as strong as you are."
Juuzou released his scythe from its confines, as he smiled down at her.
"Akuma-chan~ we're gonna fight now right?" He questioned excitedly.
"There wouldn't be any point to it," Shinohara interupted. "In such a tiny space neither of you would be able to fight well, turn yourself in and be done with it, Akuma Sato."
Trapped, she was trapped. cornered and alone. She grinned to them, no use in hiding any longer.
"Oh but there is a point."
It was sudden and fast, her Kagune appeared, her wings moved about rapidly as objects simillar to bullets began to spray from the merky depths of her ukaku. Shinohara and Juuzou were able to take cover just on the other side of her bedroom wall, the spray ended, they looked back and she was gone.
Akuma flew avoiding what attacks she could from the investigators whom had surrounded her apartment on the ground, she swooped down every once and while killing whoever was in her sights, be it ghoul, investigator, or civilian, she didn't care just so long as they were dead. Akuma wanted to find her sister and escape, but the urge to kill was more powerful. She dove into the crowd of CCG henchmen who scattered as she came down on them, she scooped one up, her arms locked just under his arms, and she flew into the sky high enough that she couldn't see the people below anymore. The man was sniffling and rambling about something she didn't care about.
"You want me to put you down?"
"Ye-yes!" He cried.
"Oopsie." She dropped him then dove after him, once the two were in plain sight of the other investigators she began to shred the man, she used her speed to slice him from one angle then another and another until there was nothing but junks left, the small bits rained down on the man's commrads who then looked on her in terror.
"Are you sure you wanna go on fighting me?" Akuma questioned, most of the investigators began to run very few stayed to fight.
"Akuuu-maaa-chaaaaan!" She turned only to be met with Juuzou, whom had jumped from a near by window, crashing into her. She was thrown off kilter as Juuzou kept a hold of her with one arm, and began to vicously stab her with the other. In a panic Akuma released an entire spray of bullets on the officers below, as she tried to shake the boy from her, she wanted to claw at him but ultimately took to defending her face and neck instead. Akuma and Juuzou began to move eratically, bullets and blood flying every which way, Akuma had to ram Juuzou through a window just to shake him. She had enough and with her sister nowhere in sight, she decided to retreat.
Akuma flew quickly, her wounds already beginning to heal, using the clouds as her camoflouge. Ai, where was Ai?
"We caught your sister as she was leaving. Put up one hell of a fight but luckily she wasn't as strong as you are."
"Luckily she wasn't as strong as you are."
"She wasn't as strong as you are."
"She wasn't..."
Past tense. Ai was more than likely dead, Akuma felt her eyes burn at the thought, she wouldn't accept it not until she saw Ai for herself, until then Ai was alive in Akuma's mind.
She circled back to her apartment, her sister was near there she had to be, Akuma just didn't look hard enough the first time her blood lust had taken over her thoughts. What a terrible sister she was.
Juuzou, the first thing she saw when her building came into sight is Juuzou who was waving up to her. Akuma growled before she took a nose dive and charged him, she took hold of the back of his shirt and took him into the sky, only stopping when above the clouds.
"Where is she?" She questioned.
"Oh-ho! It's so cool up here!" Juuzou exclaimed in amazement as he looked out at the clouds floating around him. She dropped him allowing him to plumet for a bit before diving to scoop him up again.
"WHERE IS SHE?!" Juuzou was giggling happily.
"Who do you mean? You don't have a sister so that couldn't be who you're talking about." He was mocking her.
"I will kill you." Juuzou giggled again.
"Shinohara-san said she's dead. She was trying to keep the investigators away from you, she wouldn't give in." Akuma dropped him once more, but that time it wasn't on purpose, she went after him, hooking the investigator under his arms like the one before, she flew off with him.
Akuma had expected as much, her sisters death explained why she felt the way she did. Ai had sacrificed everything for her sister, her identity, her happiness, her life, and no one even asked her to, no one ever asked Ai what she wanted out of life, their parents decided what path she would walk, Ai never complained because she knew it was the path that would protect her sister. As Akuma thought on it she felt something brush against her cheek, her overflowing eyes found Juuzou's looking up to her, his hand touching her cheek.
"I've never seen a ghoul cry before." He stated, Akuma blinked causing tears to fall and be swept away by the wind, then anger swelled inside her.
"SHUT UP!" She screamed, taking Juuzou aback. She came to sudden halt and gripped the collar of Juuzous shirt, pulling him up to her eye level. "This is your fault! This is all your fault! I hate you! I hate you so much!" Juuzou could only stare wide eye'd at her, he hadn't been in a situation like the one before him, he didn't know what to do. "Don't look at me like that!" Akuma ordered pulling his face closer to hers, "don't you dare look at me like I'm some pitiful creature, don't look at me as if i'm beneath humanity! Don't look at me like that you worthless live stock!" Her tears were running hot down her face, if it were just anger in her eyes Juuzou could have brushed her off easily and taken the knives, hidden under his clothes, and lodged them in her face. But it wasn't just anger, and as he looked into her eyes he could see that what anger was present wasn't even directed at him.
Akuma hated him she hated him so much, it was his fault Ai was dead. But she hated herself even more, she had been a horrible sister, sure she had come to help Ai what few times she needed to, but she never asked her to do anything for her. Akuma realized that she had always ordered her sister to do everything because she just expected Ai to do whatever she wanted. Akuma had been selfish and self-obsorbed, even then she could only wallow in self pitty and she hated it. She wanted to kill she wanted to devour, she wanted to lay down and cry in the dark, she wanted to scream and yell, she wanted to apologize to Ai... But... Seeing as there wasn't such a thing as God or heaven, Akuma would only be talking to herself.
"Akuma-chan-"
"Don't call me that!" She shook him, "Dont you fucking dare call me that! I'll kill you!"
"Why haven't you then?"
"Beca-" She cut herself off, why hadn't she killed him anyway? That little creep was the bien of her existance he had ruined everything, why hadn't she killed him? Had he actually managed... To grow on her at some point? Why would she care? She should have just killed him and be done with it. She hated him from the moment they met, then again, Akuma hated most people when she met them... That little brat ended up getting to her after all... "You're gonna help me." Juuzou giggled.
"Oh? Am I now? I don't think-"
"I want my sisters corpse." Juuzou blinked.
"Why?"
"...I may not believe in god... But she does... She would want a proper burial. Lets make a deal you tell me where to find her body and you don't come after me when I leave with her... And... I'll give valuable information."
"What kind of information?"
"Information on Aogiri and the One Eye'd Owl."
Juuzou was silent for a while as he thought of the possibility of her giving false information, but as he looked at her dampened eyes he knew that she was too desperate, she wouldn't lie.
A sudden explosion came as a shower of bullets opened on the unsuspecting investigators whom still surrounded her apartment building. Ai was in a large van marked with pin number 006730, she found it and busted her way in, killing anyone in her way.
Ai was laying on the floor of the van, exposed to everyone. How indecently they treated her sister it only made her all the more angry, she maimed and killed anyone who tried to pursue her, she wanted to leave some alive but crippled, she wanted them to experience the long term suffering Akuma was faced with.
Akuma disappeared with her sisters corpse, leaving a trail of death and agony in her tracks. Juuzou saw niether hide nor tail of Akuma Sato, she had managed to disappear without a trace. A year drifted by, the information Akuma had given Juuzou was indeed valuable and assisted in taking out most of Aogiri, though no amount of information could have prepared the investigators for the One Eye'd Owl.
It was a nice warm day Juuzou was seated alone at a small table just outside a restaurant eating his favorite ice cream, the now raven haired investigator watched some of the people walking by, one in particular caught his attention. A young woman, short, neat, red hair, glasses hid golden orbs, she drifted by him slowly, the frills of her dress catching his eye, but one thing in particular peaked his interest. The smell of blood and rose-mary.
The girl stopped once she met the corner of the restaurant, she turned back to him her eyes meeting his instantly. A frown remained prominent on her face, she only offered him a brief nod of acknowledgment, Juuzou giggled childishly and waved to her. He caught the slightest glimpse of a smile on her lips before she turned her back to him and continued on her way.
"Ah~ Akuma-chaaan." He sang to himself, "glad to see your doing okay."
A/N: Okay so for serious when I started this fic I fully intended on having Akuma and Juuzou end up together, BUT at some point I discovered that Akuma really disliked Juuzou, hates too strong a word to describe how she truly feels, so it ended this way because I was too wimpy to kill one of them and I feel it would've been awkward, not to mention totes out of character, for Juuzou to be like. "Come Akuma-chan let us fly away and I will protect you forever and ever!" Aaaaand if he would've said that Akuma would have either punched him in the throat or just flat out let him fall to his death. Thanks for reading!
