"Asami-sama, it seems Takayama has been delayed by a rat interfering in a transaction meeting."
"How long?"
"He is on the way, it will be another 20 minutes" Another long puff of smoke fills the room.
"And the rat? Did they take care of it?"
"He escaped" Kirishima could feel the temperature in the room drop a few degrees. The hair on his arms now standing tall, he wasn't sure Takayama would leave this room once he arrived that is, his bosses patience is wearing thin.
"Find out who the rat was, why he was there and what he took"
"Hai, Asami-sama."
The doors open, Takayama walks in obvious to the thickness of the air.
"Asami-sama, what brings you here to my humble club?"
Asami stayed silent, letting out another long puff, staring the man down. Waiting.
"A...Asami...sama? Is something the matter?" "Ah, of course, I am terribly sorry for my delay, I got caught up dealing with a rat"
Silence.
"But not to worry, it will all be taken care of, he took some photos, but we got the camera."
Asami let's out another puff before setting it down in the astray held to the side by Kirishima. Slowly he leans back in the seat.
Doors slam open
"Boss, we have a problem"
"Now what!? Can't you see were busy, report later"
"Ah, terrible sorry boss, however its an emergency, the camera we got, its empty boss."
"Ha? you mean that rat didn't take any photos?, what a fool".
"You're the fool, Takayama." Asami cold eyes burned with disgust at the man in front of him. Wanting nothing more than to take the gun in his holster and shoot him between the eyes. No, not now, not yet. He still has some use to me. "That rat. Taking the photos with him by abandoning his camera. Amusing."
Takayama's face went white, its one thing to be caught dealing with guns and drugs. But its another when dealing with human trafficking. Not because of the cops that will chase him or the reporters that will bombard him. No. Because of the man sitting in front of him. This man who hates the trade of human trafficking, who view the act of trading it equal to betrayal, and betrayal means worse than death
"Find that rat! Takayaman was now desperate. "Kill him on sight."
Asami could smell the fear on him.
"Takayama" Suddenly the room dropped a few more degrees, no one spoke, no one moved."This is your last chance, your incompetence is wearing my patience paper thin." Asami's eyes never left Takayama's, watching his every reaction to his words. " Complete the Moriyama deal and bring it to me."
Asami stood, wore his jacket Kirishima held out to him and walked past Takayama towards the door. "and Takayama, do-not-disappoint me" A death promise was said in those final words as he stepped out of the room and towards the limousine waiting outside.
As the door closed behind him, Takayama lost his balance, his fall broken by his bodyguards hold. He slaps the arm away and in a low voice orders his men "Find the rat! And make an appointment with Moriyama for this weekend. We mustn't lose Asami's good favor. If we do, were all dead. "
"Kirishima, find the rat, block the photographs and bring them both to me"
"Hai, Asami-sama"
Rei stared down at the morning paper in shock. The photographs he sent to the publishers last night, expecting them to be on the first page of the morning paper were no where to be found. Instead it was about a common celebrity break up. whats going on? Takayama shouldn't have this kind of power. A backer? Is someone protecting him from the shadows.
The vibrating of his phone takes him out of his thinking.
"Hello"
"what happened? The photos are not in the morning newspaper."
"I know, looks like they got pulled, seems like Takayama might have a backer. Chief, hold off on using the photographs, as long as we don't know who's protecting him. We won't be able to catch him."
"understood, and Aki, be careful out there."
"understood chief." Rei hangs up and puts the phone back in his jeans jacket.
He leaves the food in front of him untouched and heads towards his next job.
Cutting through the crowd and taking a shortcut through the alley-way, he is steps from his studio when he suddenly bumps into a large man, he was tall, bulky and with blond hair.
"I'm Sorry" Rei apologized and tried to pass the large man only to get blocked again.
"Is that the rat? Suoh?"
"Hai, Asami-sama"
Asami blocked the path behind him. Asami? He turns and is face to face with the largest crime-lord of Japan and yet who is completely clean on paper. Asami Ryuuichi, why is he here?
"Good morning Tanaka Rei or is it better to call you Takaba Akihito?" Akihito was surprised, his eyes became dilated but his expression didn't change.
He could feel the danger, these men who stood before him are not the run of the mill yakuzas. So he turned to run. Suoh's arm reached out and grabbed his wrist, he bit it as hard as he could, when the grip loosened, he used the alleys wall to push himself back and ran. He ran towards his personal studio, they were right on his tail, he climbed the emergency stairs to the rooftop. I can enter the building from the rooftop and exit on the other side to the main street. He reached the rooftop, the door in front of him opened, another one of Asami's men blocked his path, this one was also tall, more lean then the other one, had black hair and wore glasses. He turns back to find Asami and Suoh there cornering him.
"Give up, there is no where else to run." Asami had fun chasing this rat around, but the chasing game was over.
Akihito was cornered, no where else to run. But he couldn't let it end now, he back up slowly, taking one step back as they took one step forward. Until his back was against the parapet and the main street two floors down. His mind raced, thinking.
"Sorry, I'm not one to give up easily."
Then he jumped. He grabbed on to a store sign, looked up and saw their shocked expressions. He couldn't help it, he stuck his tongue out and gave them a grin they wouldn't soon forget.
Asami was shocked. Who does that? With fierce eyes that did not dull in my presence. He was so different, compared to those who would cower away when I stepped in front of them. Did he not know who I was?.
Did you see that?" Kirishima and Suoh looked at their boss to reply. There, they saw something they hadn't seen in their old friend in years. A grin that glowed with gleefulness and excitement. The expression of one who found a prey to chase.
"Hai Asami-sama, he jumped down and barely caught the sign, what a risky one.
Kirishima did think it was risky but was also amused that he had ran away from us, from the great Asami Ryuuichi.
Asami looked down at where the boy had stuck his tongue out and gave a triumph grin. Jumping around, biting people, running. Fufufu, he was like a wild rat...no... A wild kitten. Yes, a wild kitten, and this kitten will be mine.
For the second time in his reign, Asami Ryuuichi had lost his prey.
