Chapter 14: Tokito Akanuma
I couldn't bear to see or be around Sanosuke anymore so I teleported him to
a part of the river outside the city. He had such want and longing for me
and such hatred and jealousy to Saito. I had no idea I had affected him so
much. The poor man; I couldn't help him. What could I possibly do?
My contemplation was suddenly disturbed by a knock at the door. I began to walk towards it to answer the visitor, but a whirl of thoughts and visions suddenly attacked my brain. It came so fast that they were all ringing in my head and ears and everything became blurry in my eyes. What could this occurrence possibly mean?
The people who were at the door knocked once more. My head was spinning as I took a few more steps. Why were these thoughts and visions coming to me? I couldn't possibly live a normal life and start a family like this...
The visitors knocked once more. Even though it was against every nerve, gut, and intuition I had, I concentrated and blocked my abilities. The noises in my head stopped, and the world slowly came back into focus to me. However, the last fading voice that I heard was that of Saito.
Please let her be safe...
Be safe from what? There couldn't possibly be any danger that I should be aware of.
"Open the door Mrs. Hajime! We are the police with urgent news about your husband," someone from the other side of the door said. I quickly went to the door and opened it. Two lower-ranking officers stood outside.
"What is it?" I asked.
The officers looked at each other. One nodded, then the other one said, "Your husband has been removed from his position in the police force due to confiding information from the government and deliberately closing an assignment on account of personal reasons."
I was stunned. They didn't buy his fake conclusion to the politician massacre a few months back. How could they have possibly known? I didn't know what to do.
"What has happened to my husband? Where is he?" I asked the officers, almost hysterical.
"We have no knowledge or concern about your husband's whereabouts," one officer answered.
"So you're only here to tell me he was detained?" I asked.
"No," answered the other officer. "We are also here to dispose of you."
The officers suddenly took out their swords and came after me. I screamed out in panic and stepped back only to trip on a chipped stone in the walkway. My two assailants came at me slowly, taking their time.
Oh my darling Saito...where are you?
