Blood Red - ChishiyaXReader

I head outside to find it mostly empty besides the pool which is full as rain pours down from the dark skies above. I make my way quickly over to the bar and take a seat under the shelter of a table umbrella that has been moved so people getting drinks would stay dry. "Good evening how's the night going so far" I ask as Raito the bartender comes over with a mug in hand. "Slow night because of the weather" she says while filling up the mug with piping hot coffee. "I'm surprised I thought the beach citizens wouldn't really care about a bit of rain" I say as she shrugs a little while leaning on the counter to talk since there wasn't anyone else to serve for now.

"They care about a lot it seems" she says as I nod wanting her to continue. "Do you care about it" I ask not specifying anything so I could try and gain as much as possible. "Questions normally come from my end but to answer your query yes I'd say I care about more than you'd think" she says as I take a sip of my drink. "Making assumptions about me because of the militant uniform isn't very polite" I say but make sure not to sound threatening as she just grins while brushing hair out of her face.

"Sorry it's a force of habit" she says as I smile at her understandingly. "So what else do you assume about as you can tell curiosity is a habit of my own that I can't seem to shake" I say as she grabs herself a soft drink. "If you wanted information you could just ask, I'd tell you depending on the reason why" she says while grabbing a seat for herself. "As I said curiosity is my own bad habit, I'm trying to speed through my nine lives here" I say as she just lets out a small laugh.

"People are either getting too comfortable here or they're doubting Hatter" she says quietly after making sure no one was listening to our conversation. "I get the feeling you want some inside information as well then" I say as she fell silent after the first sentence. "You read me so well, we might even make a good couple" she flirts as I just smile at her. "There's a lot of tension between Hatters top executives and Aguni's top militants" I say simply as she listens intently.

"There are certain circles of citizens that don't fit into the dynamic of this place" Raito says making it clear that she didn't just mean the beach. "I'm curious what dynamics you've heard since I'm aware that there are groups going to undermine Hatters power" I say as she raises a brow but doesn't question yet. "People are planning on taking Hatter out one way or another soon to be a step closer to getting the cards" she says as I grin. "They don't have that to worry about any more" I say making absolutely sure no one was listening.

Raito is silent at this obviously new snip of information as she just sips quietly in contemplation. "Who did it" she asks as I shake my head. "Trade secret I'm afraid or my head will be on the block" I say as she accepts and moves on. "Alright I've give you something good for that. The other dynamic I've noticed is there are certain figures that are too confident to be players" she says which does pique my interest. I already want to ask who but know she would turn my question around in an instant to find out who's killed Hatter.

"Fair enough. Is there anything in particular that you want to know" I ask as she thinks for a little. "I want information on Niragi" she says as it's my turn to go silent and contemplate. "I draw the line at my friends sorry" I say since I didn't want to expose Niragi's weaknesses or betray his trust. "Fair enough what about Chishiya then" she pries as I can tell that she's trying to gauge who would be my weakness. "What do you want to know about him" I ask curious as to the extent of her questioning.

I expected her to ask if he was planning anything or something along the line of his weaknesses but nothing could've prepared me for her next question. "Do you love him" she asks as I almost choke on my coffee as she just lets out a laugh. "You do" she almost cheers in excitement as I shake my head quickly while coughing a ton. "I thought you'd be more political" I say between coughs as she just keeps laughing.
