Tip 9: She may be a killer, but you got power over her.

Thunder claps outside the house roared in the air, the sound of rain hitting the sidewalks like pennies were muffled by the walls ring in your ears. You tightened your grip around your girlfriends waist and pulled her securely against your body while the thumb of your free hand caressed her smooth cheek. Ignoring the bewildered eyes of Ayano burning at the side of your face, your eyes traveled across the perplexed faces of your friends as they lined up in front of you.

"Are you fucking insane?!" Budo's furious voice pierced the air that felt like hours of silence. "She killed Sakura! and maybe Daidaiyama as well!"

"I know! you don't have to tell me!" You growl, shoot daggers at him. "But that doesn't mean you have to kill her."

"Then let's turn her in."

Feeling Ayano tense in your arms you shook your head. "No, we're not doing that."

Budo shook his head, staring at you in disbelief and switched his gaze to the others then back to you. "Wha- are yo-" Jumbling his words as he exasperatedly drag a palm down his face. "Did you hit your head when you jumped over the rail? because you sound like that girl never murdered someone."

Your body slumped with a sigh, averting your gaze to Ayano who was already staring at you with an unreadable expression. Gulping hard, your eyes scanned her face, her smooth skin under your thumb that was running up and down her cheeks then your eyes lingering on her lips that you badly wanted to kiss.

Why did you have to kill them You inwardly groan, switching your gaze back to your friends.

"Okay."

Budo tilt his head. "Okay?" He utter. "Okay what?"

Darting your eyes back to your girlfriend, you pressed your lips into a thin line, softly looking at her eyes giving her an assuring look. "We'll turn her in."

It seemed like your friends were holding their breaths because you heard them sigh in relief after your statement. "Alright, we'll get-"

"-But" You cut Budo off. "We'll turn her in tomorrow afternoon."

Budo shook his head. "We need to turn her in now."

"No." You protest, narrowing your eyes at them. "I already agreed turning her in at least what you all could do is give me enough time to spend with her."

"Okay." Budo, Kuroko, Shin and Taro's wide eyes shot towards Osana, who was covered with white blanket with blood tinting some part of it.

"You do know this girl tried to kill you earlier right?" Shin reminded with a raised brow, looking at her like she was crazy.

"I know, and I hate every minute being around her." Osana hissed, glaring at Ayano, in which your girlfriend returned with the same intensity. "But Y/N saved me, and giving her time with... her would be enough to repay Y/N for that."

Budo straightens his back in hesitation, his eyes shifting to Osana and the two of you. You gaze at him pleadingly, hugging Ayano closer in your arms adding a bit of sympathy in his eyes.

"Fine." Heaving out a reluctant breath, he concede. "But we're not sleeping with her around."

"Then we'll just stay here, while you guys sleep upstairs." Suggesting as you look around the room seeing that there were enough space. "We'll just be needing my bag and sleeping bag."

"I'll get it." Taro, who was awfully quiet in the whole scene, volunteers and climbed up the stairs.

Budo skeptically ask. "Why do you need your bag?"

Raising your brow at Budo, looking at him for asking a stupid question. "Because one pillow isn't enough for the both of us, I might as well use my bag as a pillow."

It was not long before Taro staggered down the stairs holding what you needed. He moved closer to you and Ayano, his eyes glancing at you discreetly as he fixed the sleeping bag beside you. You tilt your head at him in confusion, noticing his odd movements. He peer over his shoulder and check to see Budo and the others were busy with Osana.

Looking back at you he briefly glanced to Ayano. "I know what you're planning, Y/N" He breathed out and slipped something under the sleeping bag.

Your breath hitched, staring at him with wide eyes. There were reasons why you preferred to sleep downstairs and have the things you need with you, it was because you were planning to leave after they go back to bed and sleep. Convincing them to reconsider turning your girlfriend to the cops would be hard, especially that she killed one of them, and twice as hard with Budo around.

"I'm sorry, I have to."

Taro shook his head dismissively, still opposed by the idea. "Look, my family has a cabin on outskirt of town, you two could stay there."

"Thank you, Taro." You smiled at him gratefully, though thinking why he's helping you.

Taro uncomfortably glanced at Ayano, still afraid at the presence of her, he's surprised that you act nonchalantly around her. "Ayano...clearly had her ways of killing without leaving evidence, I think police won't suspect if the two of you leave, but Budo though." He paused, briefly shifting his attention to Budo and back to the two of you. "I think he would search for the two of you until Ayano would thrown in jail."

Nodding your head at him, you watch him stood up and walked back to your group of friends. They begin to head upstairs for bed and Budo reluctantly followed the rest. Halfway up the stairs, he turned his head to look at the both of you.

"Don't worry," You stated, Ayano still in your arms peeking through your shoulders. "I'll make sure she won't go anywhere near all of you."

And with that Budo proceeded up and you hear a door close.

You shift your attention to your girlfriend and raised a brow at her.

"What?"

You scoffed at her. "Don't what me, you killed them, Ayano. The fuck is wrong with you?"

"They deserved it," Her teeth grind and she averted her gaze away from you, slightly pulling away from your grasp and still cradling one of her hand. "I had to, they'll take you away from me."

"What makes you think I'll let them?"

"I don't know, Y/N. It's not like you're trying to ignore them." Her brows furrowed with huff escaping her lips.

You rolled your eyes at her and pulled her to lean back against your body, her head leaning on your shoulders. "Let me see that."

Feeling her relax in your arms, you run your hand up to her arm and gently clasp your fingers around her wrist to study her injured hand. Seeing her hand badly bruised, there were purple marks with specks of blue across every knuckles and when you tried to move one of her finger you felt her wince.

"We'll be needing a splint," You scan her hand. "and maybe some pain killers or something we can buy over the counter." You told her before gently resting it back on her chest.

Your free hand slithered around Ayano's waist and nestle your head on her neck, snuggling closer that Ayano could feel your breath hitting her skin making her shudder. She tilt her head and lean them on top of yours, humming softly at the comforting silence enveloping the both of you. If your friends could see you right now, you can imagine how they would look at you as if you're insane about acting normally with Ayano close to you.

"I missed you." Ayano says, her voice dropping down into a whisper.

You nodded and inhaled her sweet scent that you love before pulling your head back to face her. Gazing at each others eyes for a moment, you see her eyes darted to your lips, and you didn't waste anymore time and pressed your lips on hers.

The familiar warmth spread throughout your body, how you missed the feeling of her lips that always make you crave more from the taste. Her tongue slide across your lower lip before slipping in pushing your lip apart. You moaned against her mouth, feeling heat traveling down your body like waves. You then pulled away, stopping yourself before anything could get out of hand, your girlfriend however wanted more. She shift in her seat, turning her body slightly around and placed kisses on your neck.

"L-Love.." You stammered with a tight breath, pushing her gently away but she was stronger than you.

With no signs of stopping, she completely moved from her position and pushed you on your back before crawling over your torso and straddle your hips. You moaned softly at the feeling of her pressed against you, her movements causing a stir under your lower garments. Ayano lean over, reconnecting your lips again for a feverish kiss while her hand inched down to your pajama top, close to open the first few of its buttons but abruptly pulled away flinching at the pain on her hand.

Tilting your head with amused grin, you watch her huff as she glared down to her injured hand, annoyed that it had restrained her actions. Chuckling at her expression, you moved her off of your lap and stood up.

"Where are you going?"

Crouching down beside your bag and readjust the things inside. "Packing, we need to leave." You told her, pulling the sleeping bag beside you to roll it up.

Ayano slowly nodded in comprehension and let her eyes marvel around the room and it landed on an object that was forgotten on the corner. An excited beam crossed her face at sight of the object twinkling in her eyes, she quietly made her way towards it.

After attaching the sleeping bag under your backpack, you paused on your tracks noticing something pressed between the crevice of the folded sleeping bag. Reaching for it and pulling it out, it was a piece of paper, an address swritte on it as you assume, and a roll of money left for you and Ayano. A lopsided smile made its way to your lips as you stare at it.

Taro.

You hide the money in the small compartment inside your bag and pulled out spare clothes for you to change and quickly put them on. In the process of dressing you could feel the intense gaze of your girlfriend behind you, making you a bit of self-conscious under her stare, but you managed to ignore it. Picking your backpack and sling it on your shoulders, you turn to your girlfriend who was standing still, waiting, with her hand clasped on her injured hand wrist in front of her, innocently looking at you.

“Come on.” You whispered, sneaking a glance up the staircase.

-

The chilling wind breezed in the atmosphere, blowing past you like cold hands caressing your skin, you pulled Ayano closer while your arm wrapped around her shoulder, relying on the heat both of your bodies radiate as the two of you saunter down the sidewalk towards the bus station under the dead of the night. Ayano shivered next to you, wrapping her arms around herself, her injured hand flailing out.

“I might have a jacket inside,” You mumble, about to reach behind you for your backpack but came into a halt when you feel a hand stopping you.

“It's okay,” She blurted, holding your arm that was around her, clearly not wanting you to remove them. “I'm not really that cold.”

Nodding with a smirk then turn your head forward and continue your journey. In the distance you see a bluish glow of a convenience store beside the bus station, signaling your arrival at your destination.

Both of you made your way inside the bus, not before purchasing a bandage from the convenience store -since they don't have splints- and two tickets for your journey. You settle yourselves just at the middle area of the bus, occupying two seats with a divider that you pulled up to conjoin your seat it with Ayano's. You had an arm sling around your girlfriend while she freely rest her head on your shoulder to rest, tired from all the ordeal back at Shin's house. You almost voice out a chuckle at the thought of your girlfriend getting tired by almost killing one of your friends, but it was a good thing you managed to stop her.

It was not funny.

Soon enough the engines roared below you and the bus maneuvers out the gates, the bluish-purple hues 8n the sky slowly fade while the soft golden glow break in the atmosphere as the sun rise from the horizon, the breathtaking view can be seen outside the window beside you.

Now that a new day comes in, different possibilities lay ahead for the both of you, just as Taro had said and the times you've spent, Budo would likely be in search for you and Ayano. Though you were certain you'll be ready for him when he comes.

Now that a rift has been made between you and Budo, your friendship gone the time you stepped out of Shin's house with the person he recognise as a threat. With Taro choosing to side with you, it just a matter of time when your other friends made their inevitable choice.

But you weren't expecting them to choose you.

Unedited.
