Chapter 20:
Silence filled the whole hallway as they all await for the doctor to exit the operating room.
Their faces were all covered in a dark shadow.
"Akashi-kun- Please atleast drink something... Furihata-kun wouldn't want to see you getting ill..." Kuroko tried offering a can of juice to his friend. He knew how difficult this is for Akashi.
If there was anyone with the heaviest guilt in this very room, it was Akashi...
-Flashback-
A few hours earlier…
Masaomi has ordered his driver to drive as fast as he could to get to the Rest House that Kise had mentioned earlier.
"Ignore all those traffic lights! I need you to get us there ASAP! I'll deal with all lawsuits after!"
It took them almost three long hours of continuous driving just to reach their destination.
"Father, I will go inside now-"
"We're coming with you Akashi. It will make looking for Furi faster." Kagami said immediately going to Seijuuro's side followed by the others.
"Be careful Seijuuro. Be as unnoticed as you can."
Seijuuro nodded as a response before starting to walk towards the villa.
"Akashi, we better split up." Aomine suggested which Seijuuro agreed to leading them into a group of three, with two two-membered and one.
"Any suspicious movements from anywhere, be sure to inform one another." Seijuuro ordered as they split up.
"Aominecchi, where should we head first?" Kise asked as they walked through rooms after rooms.
"Well, since it looks like we're on a series of rooms, let's start with looking inside each one. You take those on the left I take the right." Aomine answered not even looking at the blonde.
Kise looked at the tanned teen ruefully before releasing a silent sigh and turning to follow the given instructions.
"Ah, Kise~" Kise turned back around looking at Aomine who has his back on him.
"Aominecchi?" Kise asked since the man didn't continue his sentence.
"Uh, later… When- When all this is over~ Can we… [Aomine breathed out before continuing and facing the blonde at the same time.] Can we like talk? I mean, just the two of us? T-There's something I've been meaning to ask you…"
Kise stared at him for a few silent minutes before smiling.
"That's fine. Then we'll talk later then. For now let's look for Furihatacchi." Kise walked away feeling some of his burden lighten a bit.
"Kagami-kun please stop just barging into every door you see." Kuroko dead panned at his partner's idiocy.
"But we need to find Furi FAST!" Kagami answered still not stopping his doings.
"You'll really just put us into danger attracting attention like that—"
"HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE YOU DOING BRATS?!" Kuroko sighed as he saw two large men by the end of the hallway.
He was immediately pulled behind Kagami who was by that time already growling towards the two men his teeth bared.
Kuroko took his phone from his pocket sending a text to the other three before looking back at the scene before him.
Seijuuro walked through corridors by corridors until he reached a particularly large door.
Slowly, he reached for the knob twisting it carefully, thankfully it wasn't locked. The inside was empty.
Or so he thought.
"Ah!" He was put to a halt as he heard that very familiar voice.
"Hahahah! Now that I looked at you more clearly, you ARE quite a cute one. No wonder you got that self-proclaimed Emperor to breed you little bitch." There was a loud smacking sound then another cry of pain.
"N-No please, s-spare m-my child…"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk… I think I'll just kill that thing and replace it with mine. What do you say huh? Come here little bitch!"
"N-No! AAH!!!"
"Shut up! Or I'll shut you up forever!"
"Oh no you don't." An ice-cold voice echoed through the empty room before the man, Fujitaka was pulled away from a very battered Furihata Kouki.
Kouki looked up only to be surprised to see Seijuuro.
Seijuuro's eyes met Kouki's.
"A-Aks—S-Sei…" Kouki blacked out once more.
Seijuuro saw red when he saw Kouki's current state.
"Oho? The young Akashi? Where's your father? Got scared and ran away?" The older man snickered oblivious of Seijuuro's sudden change in composure.
"Or maybe you just went on and charged here unprepared huh *Chibisuke?"
Seijuuro growled, charging onwards the pompous Alpha before him. He's in rage.
No one gets to hurt Kouki and his child and live!
He's all but running on instincts alone. The sight of his pregnant omega bleeding like that makes his Alpha cry in anger.
'Omega, hurt! Pup not safe! Got to protect! Need to protect!'
"WHAT THE FUC—" He was cut off by getting tackled.
Seijuuro didn't let that moment pass and punched the startled Alpha.
Seijuuro was never the brawl and brawn type of Alpha. But now he knew just how potent his knowledge of martial art is.
He gave the Alpha a hit after hit all on his vital points not minding if he'd kill the man.
'He hurt my Omega! Gotta kill! Got to kill!'
"Akashi!/Akashi-kun!/Seijuuro!" Aomine, Kuroko and Masaomi cried in shock as they saw Seijuuro walk out of the villa's front doors covered in blood with an also bleeding Furihata Kouki.
He growled at anyone who came closer than a 5 feet range.
"Now, Seijuuro calm down. We have got to take Furihata Kouki to the hospital." Masaomi tried talking to his apparently feral son.
Police mobiles were everywhere. There had also been an ambulance which Masaomi assumed to be Tendou's doing.
"Sir we need to take the omega to the hospital. Please go with us." One of the medics said to Seijuuro.
"No! Omega, hurt. Need to protect. Pup… Both mine." Seijuuro's only response shocked his former teammates.
They had never seen Seijuuro this primal. Infact they've never seen their former captain lose control.
"Sir, we have found a dead body inside one of the rooms. We've identified the man as Fujitaka Rinnosuke."
Seijuuro growled at the mention of the Alpha's name.
"S-Seijuuro~" Masaomi looked at his son.
Did Seijuuro do that? Had he killed someone for Furihata Kouki?
"Masaomi-sama, please be at ease. Seijuuro-sama won't be vindicated for what he had done. He was within his rights to do so especially at Furihata Kouki-sama's state." Tendou said reassuring his boss.
Kuroko and Kise approached their feral friend as carefully as possible so to not arouse any negative reaction from him.
"A-Akashi-kun… Please, Furihata-kun needs to be tended to. T-There's an ambulance waiting. If you want you can be with him inside and only one of us will go with you." Kuroko said voice soft.
Seijuuro looked at Kuroko his Alpha scenting that the man was an Omega and doesn't impose a threat.
"T-That's right Akashicchi. F-Furihatacchi and the baby should be treated immediately." Kise seconded.
After a few more minutes of persuasion, Seijuuro gave in and let atleast Kuroko with them inside the ambulance.
-End of Flashback-
Seijuuro sighs as he once again internally punched his self for halting Kouki's medication.
The door to the operating room opened after 2 hours of being closed.
Seijuuro went infront of the Doctor, which is Doctor Midorima Sera, Kouki's attending doctor. Her face was rather darker than her usual bright expression.
"I'm sorry Seijuuro. We did our best but… But he didn't make it…"
Seijuuro felt his whole world come crashing down on him.
