A few months had passed since Fyodor has been defeated and now Mori wants his promised member. Which is the reason why port Mafia is standing in the Armed Detective Agency. And the members of the Armed Detective Agency are filled with anger and hatred for the said man. Not that they didn't hate him beforehand but right now? The amount was immeasurable. This man was going to take away a member. Everyone here was each others family so taking a member away was taking away a family member.
"it's time to fulfill the deal we made." Mori said while smirking.
Fukazawa refused to look at anyone in shame. He can't believe he is letting it happen. He regretted not killing Mori when he had the chance. If he had killed him then this wouldn't have happened. The children wouldn't have to suffer and-
"Now. Who should I choose? They all are strong after all. Let's see the weretiger would be a good choice or maybe I should take back Yosano-Kun or maybe the greatest detective? He'll be really helpful or should I Izumi back? That guy over there also has a lot of potential." Mori said the last sentence pointing at Junichiro
Atsushi stood in front of Kyouka protectively. Ranpo held Yosano's hand and squeezed it tightly. He knew it wasn't Yosano that Mori wanted but he couldn't help it. Yosano had to resist the urge to attack Mori. Naomi grabbed Junichiro's arm tightly. She didn't want her brother to be gone. If he were to go to the Port Mafia she'll follow him. Fukazawa closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. Mori really liked playing games. It was obvious to him and a few others who exactly he wanted to take back.
"Or should it be-"
"Just stop already." Dazai said glaring at the man.
Dazai's eyes were cold so was his expression. No one in the agency has ever seen. Atsushi and the the other members looked at Dazai with concern. This wasn't his usual self.
"What's wrong, Dazai-kun?" Mori asked with a smug look.
"No one wants to hear your bullshit. You should just get straight to the point."
"Now now Dazai-kun, why are you being so impatient? Let me take my time and choose." Mori said.
"Yosano-Kun and Izumi will be really a great choice. They both are very familiar with the port Mafia after all." Mori said again.
"I am not going back to that place!" Yosano yelled.
"Yosano-Kun I don't think you have a choice there. After all I can choose whoever I like."
"You-"
"That's enough." Dazai said cutting off Yosano.
Everyone was now looking at Dazai. But Dazai was glaring at Mori.
"Dazai-san?" Atsushi muttered.
Dazai looked at the silver haired boy who was looking at him with worry. He smiled at the boy. Dazai is always smiling so it should be normal right? But no the smile looked sad and genuine which had the agency wondering just how many times has Dazai actually smiled genuinely. It definitely wasn't a lot. Dazai took off his coat and handed it to Atsushi. The boy looked at him in confusion.
"Dazai-san? Why are you giving your coat to me?"
"It's a good coat. I wouldn't want it to go to waste besides I think it will suit you if you just have a change of outfit, Atsushi-kun."
"Dazai-san, why are you sayi- wait no."
"Yosano sensei, Kyouka-chan none of you have to go back to that place. You both are better suited to live in the side of light."
"Dazai, no." Yosano said.
"Dazai-san, you can't-" Atsushi started.
"Atsushi-kun it's okay." Dazai cuts Atsushi off.
Dazai looked at the boy with a smile. But soon Dazai's expression once again became cold and he walked toward Mori and knelt down. Mori looked down at Dazai and he smiled. He took of his coat and put it on Dazai.
"I am glad you know me so well, Dazai-kun. Welcome back, Dazai-kun. It's a shame you burned the coat I gave you before but you can keep this one."
Dazai scoffed. He stood up. His eyes were dead like they were when he was in the mafia. He hated this. He didn't want to go back to that hell. He didn't want to work under Mori again. But he didn't have a choice. Mori was always going to choose him to come back but he just wanted to play a game.
"I don't think think it's a good idea boss." Chuuya said.
"What do you think you're doing lad!?" Kouyou whispered to chuuya.
"Ane-san, I-"
"Listen lad I know you care about Dazai but you'll get yourself in some serious trouble."
"What was that Chuuya-kun?" Mori asked.
"Are you sure that's wise, boss? I mean aren't you worried he may kill you?" Chuuya stated.
"I think I am ready to take that risk. Anything else?"
"I-"
"That's enough." Kouyou stopped Chuuya before he could say anything else.
"But Ane-san-"
"Look at Dazai even he doesn't want you to continue. You'll get in lot of problem if you don't stop right now."
True to what kouyou said Dazai was looking at Chuuya asking him to stop. Dazai didn't want Chuuya to be in any kind of problem because of him. Chuuya could see exactly what Dazai was trying to say. He always knew what Dazai was trying to say and so did Dazai.
'Chuuya, stop I am fine.'
"You're not, Dazai.'
'But it's okay. Just stop.'
'But you don't want to go.'
'It's fine. I can take it. Stop.'
'But Dazai you shouldn't do something like this.'
'It doesn't matter. Mori would have chose me anyway. Chuuya please do not say anything that will get you in any problem.'
'Fine.'
Chuuya and Dazai were like one soul in two separate bodies. They just need to look at each other and know what the other one is trying to say. Chuuya looked down on the floor. He felt horrible. He always wanted Dazai to come back but not anymore. Not after seeing his life with the agency. Not after seeing how happier he is with the agency. Not after seeing that how his eyes weren't empty anymore. No, he didn't want Dazai to come back. Dazai life was far better in the agency.
"Chuuya-kun? Do you have anything more to say?" Mori asked.
"No, boss. Nothing more." Chuuya replied.
"Very well then. Now we ca-"
"Wait." Dazai interrupted Mori.
Once again all the eyes focus on Dazai. No one knew the reason for Dazai's interruption. Mori raised an eyebrow. Everyone was confused except for Ranpo who had figured out exactly what Dazai wanted.
"What is it Dazai-kun?" Mori asked.
"I want Akutagawa Ryuunosuke and Akutagawa Gin to be transferred to the Armed Detective Agency."
As soon as the words left Dazai's mouth chaos began. Everyone started talking at once. Protests from Mafia. Numerous questions from the agency. Akutagawa and Gin stood there not knowing what to say. They didn't understand anything. Why did Dazai suddenly want them to go to the agency?
"Transfer them? That wasn't part of the deal Dazai-san." Mori said.
"It's my condition for not running a knife across your throat." Dazai replied.
"Are you threatening me? I hope you know that this will mean a war between the Port Mafia and the Armed Detective Agency. Do you really think the agency will win?"
"Mori-san whether the agency wins or loses is not the point. The point is that whether you'll leave or not."
"And you think I will die?"
"Of course. After all I'll kill you with my own hands."
Mori's smile droped. It was clear that Dazai was not going to play his game.
"Also I am no longer part of the Armed Detective Agency. So no there is going to be no war between the Port Mafia and the Armed Detective Agency but rather between me and the Port Mafia."
"And you think you will win against the Port Mafia?"
"Mori-san, I just told you that it's not a matter of who will win but a matter of who will die. And you know very well that if it happens I'll go for your throat first. I'll kill you with my hands."
"Well I guess we have no choice then. From now on Akutagawa Ryuunosuke and Gin are no longer part of the mafia but the agency."
The Akutagawa siblings still stood there in shock. This was the last thing they were expecting. The agency members and the new Port Mafia members wondered just how scared Mori was of Dazai to agree this easily and why did he still want him in the Mafia despite the risk of Dazai killing him. Just how important was he? Clearly Dazai was his greatest tool. And he wanted that tool back.
"I believe you would wish to say goodbye to your cowor-I am sorry I mean former coworkers. We'll leave you to say your goodbye." Mori said.
Dazai clenched his fist. The port Mafia members started to leave. The only ones that were left now were Chuuya, Hirotsu and the Akutagawa siblings who were now part of the Armed Detective Agency. Hirotsu looked at Dazai with sadness.
"I am sorry Dazai-kun." Hirotsu said before walking out.
"Dazai-san...why?" Akutagawa asked drawing others attention.
"I was the one that took you both in. No? So I have a responsibility towards you. I have failed to fulfill it in the past but now I want to fulfill it." Dazai replied.
"Dazai-san, I-"
"It's okay Akutagawa-kun, you don't have to say anything."
"Dazai-san! I don't want you to go!" Atsushi said.
"We don't really have a choice in this Atsushi-kum. I am sorry I won't be able to teach your anymore."
"Dazai-san please don't leave."
"Even tho you're extremely childish and lazy, I don't want you to go there. It won't be the same without you." Kunikida said.
"Kunikida-kun...Do you really mean that?"
"Of course! Is that even a question? You're just not my partner but also my friend. I don't want you to go to that hellish place."
"Dazai, you're really important to us." Yosano said.
"Yosano is right, you're very important to us, Dazai." Ranpo said.
"You always brighten up the mood and make everyone happy." Naomi said.
"You're a great coworker and friend, Dazai-san." Junichiro said.
"You're a amazing person Dazai-san." Kyouka said.
"You have always helped us Dazai-san. You're a very nice person." Kenji said.
"Dazai, you are truly a great detective. A person that has helped and saved a lot of people and has done a lot for the Armed Detective Agency. You'd be always the part of the Armed Detective Agency." Fukazawa said.
"President...I-thank you." Dazai said.
"President is right, Dazai-san. You have saved a lot of people. You have saved me. You're a good person Dazai-san." Atsushi said.
"I-I think I should leave now. You all are making it extremely hard for me. I don't think I'll be able to leave if you continue."
"Then we should keep talking."
"No, Atsushi-kun. It's necessary for me to go there. We don't have a choice."
Dazai walked towards Akutagawa and Gin and put his hands on both their head.
"I have no doubt that the side of light will suit you better that the darkness." Dazai said.
"Gin-chan, can I take off your mask?" Dazai asked.
Gin nodded her head with the confusion that everyone had. Dazai took off Gin's mask. A few surprised gasps could be heard but they were ignored. Dazai then handed the mask back to Gin who looked at the mask in her hand and then Dazai.
"Dazai-san, why did you want to take my mask off?" Gin asked.
"Gin-chan, do you remember the time when I gave you this mask?"
"Yes. I do."
Flashback
"Gin." Said Dazai.
Dazai was standing in the room with the Akutagawa siblings. As expected his expression wasn't warm but surprisingly it wasn't cold either Gin looked up at Dazai waiting for him to continue. Dazai took out a mask and put it on Gin's face.
"I want you to wear this in front of others. You are not to take this mask in front of Mori under any circumstances. You can ignore my past commands to follow this one. No one other than Mori can make you take it off. So if Mori were to ask you to take it off you have to tell him that you face has been ruined by a wild dog, he'll lose interest. Understood?"
"Understood."
"And also pretend to be be a boy. Don't let Mori ever find out you're a girl. Got it."
Yes, sir."
"Good. Both of you can leave now."
End of Flashback
"Since Mori isn't here anymore and that you're under the protection of the Armed Detective Agency you don't have to wear it, Gin-chan, unless you want to that is." Dazai said.
"Why was it so necessary for me to wear this mask in front of boss?" Gin asked.
"He is not you boss anymore. And I'll give you a simple answer. Mori is likes children. Yep you got it right he's a pedophile. Especially towards children who are a beauty like you, Gin-chan."
Everyone in the room felt disgusted at the revelation. Ranpo tighten his grip in Yosano's hand seeing how uncomfortable she became. Chuuya and Akutagawa paled. It was clear they had no idea about Mori's intrest in minors. Akutagawa grabbed Gin's arm protectively.
"Dazai." Yosano called.
"Yes, Yosano sensei?" Dazai asked.
"Did Mori ever do something to yo-"
"Yosano sensei, let's leave that topic to discuss for another day."
Even tho Dazai refused to answer the question They hot the answer. Dazai didn't need to say anything for the others to understand. It was obvious now. Chuuya clenched his fist. He couldn't believe all this happened and he didn't even know.
"That fucking bastard." Chuuya muttered.
"I am going to kill that bastard." Yosano said.
"Umm...correction 'we are going to kill that bastard.' No one in this room is allowed to kill him other than me and Yosano sensei." Dazai said.
"And now it's time for me to leave. I can't stay here for any longer or Mori will come back." Dazai said again.
Dazai patted Atsushi's head and then patted the Akutagawa siblings head before going towards where Chuuya was standing. They both looked at each other for a second before starting to walk out of the agency.
"Wait!" Ranpo stopped them.
Dazai and Chuuya stopped and turned around. Ranpo looked at Dazai before tossing a candy towards him. Dazai raised his arm to catch it. Dazai looked at the candy and raised his eyebrow.
"Eat this one right now." Ranpo said.
Ranpo then tossed another candy towards Dazai. Which Dazai caught again.
"And eat this one when we get you back from that hell." Ranpo said.
Dazai looked at Ranpo stunned. This expression wasn't present on Dazai's face a lot. After all he was someone that predicted almost everything. He looked at the other agency members who nodded in agreement. Dazai felt a warm feeling in his chest. It felt nice.
"Ranpo-san...don't you think it will go bad by the time you come to get me." Dazai said.
"Hmph! How long do you think it's gonna take us?" Ranpo asked.
"A few months?"
"Hah! Do you seriously believe it's gonna take us that long!? How rude!"
"The. A few weeks?"
"Make it two."
"And you think it won't go bad by then?"
"Of course not! Do you really think that I'll buy low quality snacks!?"
"Calm down Ranpo-san, I am just messing with you. Thank you."
Dazai and Ranpo looked at each other and smiled.
"Dazai." Fukazawa called out.
Everyone turned their attention to Fukazawa who still looked guilty for what was happening.
"I promise you. We will get you back. We will save you." Fukazawa promised.
"Yes, We will save you Dazai-san." Atsushi said.
"Wait till we get you back, Dazai." Yosano said.
"You just have to wait a little until we get you back."
"Don't ever lose hope. We will get you out of that place." Kenji said.
"Dazai-san we will get you back. So don't worry." Naomi said.
"Yes that's right we will get you back." Junichiro agreed.
"You may be an annoying idiot but you're our annoying idiot. We will save you Dazai." Kunikida said.
"Dazai-san, the side of light suits you too. You're better suited for the side of light." Kyoka said.
"You all...thank you." Dazai said smiling.
"Dazai-san, thank you. Thank you for everything." Akutagawa said
"Yes, thank you very much, Dazai-san." Gin said.
"I told you, I have a responsibility towards you both. There is no need to thank me after all I had failed once you know." Dazai said.
"Don't say that Dazai-san, you have saved me and Gin." Akutagawa said.
"Have I really?"
"Yes, you have."
"Ah. Thank you Akutagawa-kun."
Dazai looked at everyone still smiling. It was a great feeling. Dazai never knew what it felt to have a family but now he does. And it's amazing. He was glad he could experience this.
"Goodbye everyone. I'll look forward to our next meeting." Dazai said before walking away with Chuuya.
"They all really care about you." Chuuya said.
"Yeah. I am really lucky to have them." Dazai replied.
"You are. Where are you planning on living now?"
"Eh? I don't know. I'll probably have to live in my shipping container again."
"Bullshit! You're not going to live in that fucking shipping container again!"
"Then where will I live?"
"With me of course!"
"Oh~ chibi is being so nice. What a loyal dog you are."
"I am not a dog you mackerel!"
"Whatever you say chibi."
"Quit calling me chibi!"
"Okay then hatrack."
"Bastard. I can't believe I have to deal with you now for two weeks."
"You're the one that offered me to stay with you~"
"I regret it."
Chuuya and Dazai made their way outside the cafe. A lot of black cars were standing in a line. Mori stood in front of one of them with his ugly smile. Dazai noticed Chuuya's bike parked outside the cafe. Dazai looked at Chuuya who looked back at him. And they both knew what the other one was saying even without the other one voicing it out loud.
'You bought your bike.'
'Yeah. Any problem?'
'No. Can I ride with you?'
'Uh? Sure.'
"Dazai-kun. Come on get inside." Mori said looking at him and then the car behind him.
"No thanks I'll ride on Chuuya's bike." Dazai said in an annoyed tone.
"Is there a particular reason why you want to ride in Chuuya-kun's bike not the car?"
"Yeah. I like bike more than car."
"I never knew."
"Huh! Mori-san there's a lot of things you don't know about me and you'll never know so quit acting like you do."
"Dazai-kun that is extremely cruel thing for you to say."
Dazai glared at Mori. While the said man just smiled and got inside his car. The other members did the same and one by one all the cars left. Dazai turned his attention to Chuuya who was now sitting on his bike waiting for him to join. Dazai quietly walked towards him and got on the bike. Dazai wrapped his hands around Chuuya's waist and Chuuya started the bike and started towards Chuuya's house. Soon they arrived at Chuuya's house. Chuuya and Dazai got off the bike and Chuuya started leading Dazai to his house. Chuuya had a fairly big house. It was actually a mansion. Nothing surprising at all considering that he works for the Mafia. Dazai also has a lot of money he got from the Mafia but he doesn't use it. Dazai never sees the necessity of living properly. Well he has a normal house. But the decorations? It's bland. There is barley anything in his house. Infact there is not even proper food. There is only alcohol and canned crab, nothing else in his house. Chuuya opened the door and led them both inside before shutting the door.
"Follow me." Chuuya said.
Dazai hummed in response. Chuuya climed upstairs with Dazai following behind. Chuuya and Dazai passed by a room which Dazai assumed was Chuuya's. Dazai was busy looking at that room that he didn't notice Chuuya stop and bumped into him.
"What the heck mackerel!? Watch were you're going!" Chuuya yelled.
"Sooory." Dazai replied.
"You don't mean it."
"What makes you say that?"
"It's obvious. Anyway this is your room."
It was the room right next to the room that Dazai assumed was Chuuya's.
"Hey, Chuuya. Is that room yours." Dazai asked pointing at that room.
"Yeah it is."
"Oh."
"What?"
"Nothing really."
"Whatever I could care less. Anyway take a shower and as soon as you're down come downstairs."
"Why?"
"You'll see when you're done. Now go!"
Chuuya pushed Dazai inside the room before making his way downstairs. He want to the kitchen and opened and started cooking for both of them. He cooked rice, chicken vegetable soup and then made some tea. When he was done setting up the table he had to wait a minute before Dazai made his way downstairs.
"Good you're here. Now start eating." Chuuya said before taking a seat.
Dazai stared at the food for a while before sitting down next to Chuuya. He didn't start eating. Dazai looked at Chuuya who was already looking at him.
"What is it mackerel?" Chuuya asked.
"Don't you think it's a lot of food chibi? I don't think I can eat this much." Dazai replied.
"What the heck are you saying? This is a normal amount of food. You don't eat properly. Do you? No wonder you're so thin. You need to eat properly, shitty Dazai."
Dazai just kept staring at the food in front of him. Chuuya sighed. He put his chopsticks down and stood up. He moved Dazai's and his own chair so they will face each other. He then picked up the bowl of rice and chopsticks before starting to feed Dazai. Honestly it was not easy to feed Dazai. Dazai was really struggling to eat food properly. Chuuya wondered how that heck he was alive despite not eating properly. It took some time but he managed to feed Dazai everything. When he was done Chuuya fixed his chair and started to eat his own food while Dazai watched him eat. After he finished eating he picked up the plates, bowls and tea cup and went to the kitchen. He was about to wash them when he felt a hand stop him. He looked at Dazai and raised a eyebrow.
"Let me." Dazai said.
"You want to wash these?" Chuuya asked.
"Yeah."
"Ok then."
Chuuya knew that even if he refused Dazai will find a way to convince him so he just said yes. Chuuya watched as Dazai washed the dishes. Surprisingly he was very good at it. After he was done both of them made their way upstairs.
"Goodnight Dazai." Chuuya said.
"Goodnight Chuuya." Dazai said.
Both of them entered their rooms and lied down on their bed. It was a wonder how both of them didn't fight much today. While Chuuya managed to fall asleep after lying down for sometime, Dazai was still awake staring at the ceiling. Dazai knew he would fall asleep after a few hours considering how tired he was but then after an hour or 2 he will wake up. He sighed and turned around. He started thinking about what the agency members were doing. Were they okay? Were they still blaming themselves? Were they still sad? Dazai thought they shouldn't blame themselves after all it wasn't their fault.
"I can't believe I am back to hell."
Dazai sighed and turned around again. And just as Dazai predicted after a few hours he really did fall asleep.
