I Don't Want You, I Don't Need You.

🔥🌹✨🔥✨🌹🔥

Charlie gets up from the couch as she walks over to Melody,

"Melody, please give him a chance?" She asks, holding the girl's shoulder. Melody's sharp glare still not leaving Akira who's clearly have guilt in his eyes.

"I don't know what kind of lies he feed you but I won't." Melody makes herself clear. "Vaggie," She calls out, Vaggie perks her head up from the mentioning of her name. "Cover Charlie's ears and make sure she won't hear a single thing." Melody says, her teeth are baring and you can see her gritting her sharp rows of teeth. Vaggie didn't question it as she quickly walks over to Charlie and closes her ears, making the girl confused but didn't fight her girlfriend.

Melody breathed in as she walks up to Akira who have his eyebrows furrowed in guilt towards the shorter girl in front of him.

"You think I can fucking forgive you after what you fucking did to me, you worthless useless pathetic piece of dog shit?" Melody cuss out a lot, it's the first time Sin heard her cuss a lot. Which made the girl know that it's serious, is this that guy that used to date Melody back when she was alive? Sin would think so but what reason would he be in hell and looking different but Melody knew him?

"Kana, please.." Akira whispered out, trying to hold out his hands to hold Melody but she slapped his hands away harshly.

"Please? Please?! You were a fucking drunk motherfucker and cheated on me on that girl that you won't shutup about, 'oh, you shouldn't worry about her' and 'she's just a friend' MY BLOODY ASS, AKIRA NAGAMINE!" Melody's voice slowly and slowly became louder as she shouts loudly, it make everyone jump expect for Charlie who couldn't hear anything. Melody never shouted before, she always had a low and kind voice.

But this time, she's really is mad.

"I WAITED FOR YOU FOR HOURS IN THAT PARK, HOURS BUT TURNS OUT YOU WERE WITH SOME GIRL. THAT'S WHY I LEFT OSAKA YOU ASSHOLE!" Melody shouts in his face as she breathes heavily,

"I'm sorry.." Akira mumbles out as he rubs his shoulders. "I don't know what I was thinking, please let me explain—" Before he could finish his words, Alastor walks up as he pulls Melody behind him.

"Gentleman, I think that's enough for now. You've angered the dear wenough." Alastor smiles at him, Akira blinks as he glares at Alastor. Melody is breathing heavily as she grips on the skirt of her dress.

"あなたが一人で死ぬことを願っています。(Anata ga hitori de shinu koto o negatte / I hope you die alone.)" Melody breathes out as she storms off and runs away into the office, slamming the door. Akira widens his eyes as he tries to follow after Melody.

"Kana—" He breathes out, Alastor pulls his shoulder and restricting him from following the girl.

"I think that's enough." Alastor's voice turns clear without the radio static. Akira glares at him as he pushed Alastor's hand away from his shoulder.

"Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?" He barks in his face. Alastor's smile grew even more.

"Certainly someone who haven't cheated on their significance other, of course!" Alastor laughs as his microphone lets out that audience laugh. Akira grits his teeth but he knows that he can't do anything, he knows who Alastor is and if he was to fight Alastor, Melody wouldn't be any happier whatsoever.

Vaggie releases her hands from Charlie's ears as the girl looks around confusedly. Akira walks up to the princess as he clears his throat,

"I'm sorry, your highness. Please, may I have a room?" He asks, Charlie nods repeatedly.

"Oh, of course! And you can just call me Charlie." The blonde haired girl smiles as she runs to the reception counter and hands him a key. The male thank him as he walks up the stairs on his own, "Do you need help to find the room?" Charlie asks out to the white haired male that's on top of the stairs.

"No need." He replies as he disappeared from sight. Alastor watch the male walks up as the two glare at each other, Charlie sighs sadly for a moment.

"I don't know what happened but I feel like it's something bad." Charlie says, Vaggie rubs the girl's shoulder reassuringly.

"They'll be okay, hun." She reassures, but honestly Vaggie know they won't. She had never seen Melody that angry before, she had never raise her voice and cussing so many times either. If she was mad at someone she'd honestly only kept it to herself until it just goes away, but because of this Akira — she didn't even hold herself back.

"I'm guessin' that's her ex, then?", Angel Dusk spoke out, Sin looks at him.

"No shit, she literally shouted the word 'cheated'." She huffs, Sin looks at the office door where Melody had ran off to. Alastor is staring towards that door but he didn't move towards it, something tells her that a big and menacing aura is radiating off from that room.

"How the fuck did he even find this goddamn place?" Husk who's behind the bar voice out after watching the whole thing in silence,

"He tracked her down." Slither finally spoke, his eyes still glued on his book. Everyone turn to him from his voice. "He found Melody's parents down here in hell and asked them about her, they were scared at first but finally gave in to tell Akira about her." Slither finish as he closes his book, standing up from the couch as he fixes his hat. "Pretty desperate, if you ask me." He adds in as he walks over to Husk and orders a drink which he slides a glass of wine towards him.

Charlie couldn't do much as she sighs,

"Maybe I should talk with her—" She suggested but Alastor turn to her and shake his head.

"Charlie, dear I don't think she'd like you to see her in such a state." Alastor points out, Charlie immediately shuts up as she thinks about it. Melody did always keep up a good posture and composure around the princess, especially around her parents too. Is it because her duty of taking care of the girl?

"I'll go get her." Sin says as she walks towards the door even though she feels like the aura is going to eat her alive. Her mind is screaming at her to get away from there as soon as possible but she refuse to listen as she opens the door, but no one is in there. "Um," She make sure everyone can hear her as she turns around.

Everyone looks at Sin with confused faces,

"She's not in here." She reply, Charlie widens her eyes in confusion as she walks over with Vaggie by her side. The two walks in the office to indeed see no one in there but its unexpectedly really cold in there, cold to the bones someone might just die twice. The three girls rubs their bodies from the cold,

"Why is it so damn cold-" Sin asks, especially her who barely wears anything other than her jacket. Charlie shrugs her shoulders,

"I don't know, as far as I know this office was never cold because it's separated from the lobby." Charlie reply as she suddenly sneezes, Vaggie escorts her girlfriend out of there before it gets any worse. But before Sin could follow them and out of that a hella freezer room, she noticed something.

She walks closer to it to see a bit of red sparkly dust, it looks similar to Cherri Bomb's explosive dusts. But Cherri had nothing to do with this, now that Sin remembers it. Melody's powers are always clouded with red smoke and sometimes there's dust, she trace it with her finger but something opens up as Sin looks on the floor, her eye widening as she realizes she triggered a portal.

The girl screams out of surprise as she falls into the hole but her voice died out as the portal closes itself. Angel comes running into the room but sees no one around, that made the spider cuss out in confusion as he runs out to look for the girl.

Sin lands harshly on.. petals? She hiss out in pain as she sits upright, her hands touching leaves under her. She turns to look what's under her to see it's rose petals. The black and purple ombre haired girl looks around but it's dim and dark, that's when she feels a shiver going down her spine. She looks around again to see eyes shining in the dark. It's all staring at her like she's a prey, Sin immediately stands up,

"Are you Sin?" One of the voices asks in the dark, Sin blinks as she nods even though she doesn't know where it's coming from. "Why are you down here?" It asks again.

"What do you mean? Where am I?" She asks as she looks around the place, the eyes are still staring at her with its glowing red eyes.

"You're down in the Dead Realm, a portal where the dead sinners of hell gets wiped out of existence but we're spared because we agree to serve under Miss Karma." One of the other voices says. Sin widens her eyes, is it possible for her to be down here?

"Where's Mel?" She asks, out of the blue. The sinners whisper among themselves, deciding whether to tell her or not.

"She's resting. Do you wish to see her?" Another different voice this time. Sin nods and suddenly a door opens up in the dark, a bit of light pouring out the room. Sin slowly walks up to the door as she walks in, seeing a huge bed in the room with dim candles all around the room. Everything is black, the ceilings, the wall, the floor. Its like a dark abyss with dimly lit candles.

The bed have someone lying on it, they're curling up into a ball on it as a few dark creatures surrounding the bed, as if checking if they're okay. Sin walks closer to see Melody. She's sleeping and gripping on the red covers of the bed, it seemed like she had passed out of exhaustion.

"Miss Karma had a mental breakdown, she was trashing everything but she managed to calm down and pass out." One of the creatures says as it looks up at Sin who have a concerned look on her face.

"She'll wake up in a few minutes." One of the other creatures says. Their features are creepy, long black horns, their whole body is black in colour and a pink red star in the middle of their foreheads. Sin slowly nod as she rubs her shoulders that are now becoming cold like before, even though the room is surrounded by candles and fire.

The girl decided to walk around the place whilst waiting for Melody to wake up as she turns around on her heels and looks around the room. Everything is black, you can't see what is what aside from the candles and the bed in that room. It's like there's the door she had used to walk in the room is nowhere to be found.

Honestly if Sin was to just walk aimlessly, she probably would hit a wall. The girl walks towards the wall she had walk through a door of, she was sure it was a few feet away as she holds out her hand to feel anything but there's nothing. It's like there's no wall at all, Sin tries to walk forward but something tugs on her jacket as she turns around to see one of the demons,

"Don't walk on your own, you can get lost and never be found ever again." The demon tells her, Sin flatten her plump lips. Then how does someone can be down here?

"Where's the door that I walked in before? Can I even get out of here?" Sin asks as she turns around towards the demon, it nods.

"The door you used weren't a door, it's a portal and yes, you can get out of here if you wish. But if you were to walk off on your own, one couldn't help you if you were to disappear." They answer, Sin blinks. But before she could question again, the sounds of the sheets moving caught both of their attention. The demon immediately runs back towards the bed as it kneels beside it.

Melody sits up as she takes off her hair tie, releasing the messy hair. Her eyes are dull and her face is back to how it's always is, blank. Being a bit out of colour in that dark abyss, Melody quickly noticed Sin as her rich red eyes flickers up to her.

"Hey, hun." Sin greets, waving slightly. Melody just stares up at her as one od the demons gets on the bed and starts to brush the girl's long hair.

"How did you get down here?" Melody asks as she lets the demon behind her do it's job. Sin looks at the demons around her, damn Melody looks like some Mistress or something.

"Well, after what happened, I wanted to check up on you and you weren't there. But then I found some of your magic dust and it triggered your portal." Sin explains as she sits down on the bed beside Melody. The girl nods, not letting out a voice at all. "Do you wanna talk about what happened?" She asks as she eye the demon behind Melody who's softly and carefully brushing the girl's hair.

"Sure." Melody answers shortly, well that was surprising. She's never the type to really open up, "Do you remember that guy you heard me talk about before?" She asks as she fiddles with her gloves.

"You mean your ex that you broke with because he ignored you?" Sin recalls what Melody blurt out that time when they were hanging out in a restaurant that a friend of theirs used to work in as a waitress. Melody nods, "That asshole up there is him?" She nods again.

"I don't know how he found me and I really wish he didn't." Melody sigh as she closes her rich red eyes, Sin wondered for a moment.

"How is he in hell? Is it because from the cheating?" Sin asks again as she drops her back down on the bed, making the bed bounce from the impact.

"He got cursed." Melody answers quickly as the demon behind her finishes up her hair. Sin looks at the girl which she can only see her back as she raises her eyebrows, judging from the silence Melody got the message. "Karma effects everyone, because I held such a grudge against him, he's cursed. If you look on his forehead that is covered by his hair — there's a star. It's a curse for him to never rest easy if I wouldn't forgive him." Melody explains.

"It's been decades, you don't wanna try forgiving him?" Sins asks as she sits right back up, Melody's eyes stares down on her boots.

"I'm trying. But I didn't expect him to show up in this hotel, he could've just show up at my house or meet me outside. But no, he just had to make himself known to everyone else." Melody huffs as she stands up, Sin only look at her. "I'm glad that I didn't shed a tear."

"For someone as worthless as him."
