When The Unexpected Happens

Chapter one – Text, girl, and suspicion

Akihito laid exhausted in bed. Asami had kept him engaged in very pleasurable physical activities literally all night long after a remark he made which included the words 'old man' and a sarcastic retort about age slowing people down. Thus he was taken by the older man until early hours of the morning, his body sore and aching to the last fiber. It was difficult to move with the pain that would shoot up his lower back every time he attempted to go clean up sweat and other bodily fluids from his body so he opted to sprawl himself on the soft mattress and stall until his body cooperated.

'Damn bastard! He seriously overdid it this time' he thought shooting daggers at the man coming out of the bathroom. However, his thoughts were forgotten when his eyes trailed lower from Asami's face to his toned arms, his sculptured broad torso, and lower still. Asami stood in his naked glory, much like the sex god Akihito was beginning to think he secretly was, drying his sleek black hair with a white towel. The boy's mouth watered at the thought of touching those abs while being touched by the skillful hands, and oh the pleasurable pain that Asami's big… 'What the hell am I thinking about!? Cool it Akihito! There is no possible way you can take any more, there is just no way.'

"See anything you like?" Asked Asami with his devious grin plastered on his face.

"As if! I just got caught up thinking about work and stuff"

"Really?" the yakuza said with a low chuckle, "because I was pretty sure you were staring at me" Asami walked to the bed and pinned Akihito beneath him as he spoke in a low husky voice in the boy's ear. " and here I was thinking that if you kept looking at me the way you were I would have to cancel my first meeting for the day to… comply… with your unspoken wishes" he finished as he liked Takaba's earlobe and trailed small kisses down his neck.

"You perverted bastard! You are insatiable, haven't you have enough? You wouldn't let go of me all night"

Asami smirk was infuriating. "If I recall correctly you were the one issuing challenges last night and of course I cannot let a challenge unresolved. Specially such a… delectable one."

Akihito blushed crimson as he remembered what his careless words had caused and made a mental note to never call the man 'old' ever again. Asami had walked to the closet like he had no schedule to keep to and began to dress in his trademark three piece suit. Takaba watched him get dressed and wondered if there was someone in the world who would dare say something about Asami arriving late to an appointment. If there ever was such a situation he was sure that the aura of danger and power around the man would shut them up before words ever left their mouths.

"Don't you have an evil empire to run or something?" he said as he took some pain killers Asami has put on the small table next to the bed and drank some water.

A low chuckle was his only answer, which prompted him to want to say something witty and sarcastic to the older man. However before he was able to say something his phone went off signaling a new text message.

Akihito stretched his arm to reach his cell phone from the top of the night table, wincing as his body had to be shifted slightly to get to it. He was flipping his phone open with one hand as he used the other to put the empty glass on top of the small table when various things happened at the same time. Akihito gasped as he read the message, his hand had missed the table by a few centimeters and when he let go of the glass it fell to the floor breaking and attracting Asami's attention to him.

He re-read the message, his eyes widening in shock and paled visibly. Asami watched him curiously though his face did not betray his current interest.

"Fuck!" said Akihito as he jumped from the bed, all pain forgotten and ran to the bathroom faster than Asami had ever seen him run -and Asami had seen him run plenty of times. The shower could be heard from the bathroom as well as some unintelligible mumble as Akihito showered. 'hm, I wonder what got him so riled up, maybe he is late for a shoot… but he said he did not have to work today.'

Asami walked to Akihito's cell phone and looked at the text message that shocked and prompted his lover to get out of bed even after the extraneous activities of the night. It was from an unknown number and the content of the message made his jealousy flare up.

Aki,

Meet me at the agreed place

At the time settled.

Miss you and love you.

M

He put the phone back on the table and walked away towards the closet and finished dressing. 'Was someone trying to take what was his? Was Akihito betraying him? No, he would not be so stupid as to betray him. But there is something going on here that I don't like. Akihito is mine and I will not allow anyone to take what is mine.'

***VF***

Akihito came out of the bathroom in record speed considering how long he has been known to take showers for. He grabbed the first things he found in the closet caring less than usual about his attire and took his phone putting it in his pocket after checking the time. 'Shit! I'm going to be late, if I don't make it in time I may never get the chance again.' He thought as he passed his older lover on his way out of the bedroom but was caught before getting to far.

"Is there something wrong kitten?" asked Asami his golden eyes watching Akihito's hazel orbs intently.

Akihito looked away from Asami's penetrating gaze and lied.

"Nothing… I… I just forgot I had some work to do today and I'm running late, that's all."

Asami knew the boy was lying, his refusal to look at his face as he gave his excuse said it all and he was determined to get to the bottom of this puzzle and find out what his boy was hiding from him. His eyes narrowed in suspicion but he let go of Akihito's hand and watch him walk out of the penthouse. He took his phone out and speed dialed his trusted secretary.

"Kirishima"

"Hai, Asami-sama"

"Akihito is on his way out of the building, have Suoh tail him today and report to me any suspicious activity. Make sure he knows there will be consequences if Akihito manages to lose one of my best men."

"Understood, Asami-sama"

***VF***

'Shit, shit, shit! I'm not going to make it in time. Think Aki, think! I can't use my Vespa because Asami took my keys and hid them somewhere and taking the bus will take me more time than I have… But the place is not too far from here, if I run and cut trough a couple back ways maybe I can make it. No! I have to make it or I won't have another chance until next month.'

Akihito ran at full speed across streets and through alleys, crashing into people from time to time and yelling 'I'm sorry' at them without looking back. He was so concentrated in reaching his destination on time that he did not notice Suoh getting out of the BMW as he ran from the penthouse's building and begin to follow him. Suoh was secretly grateful that the brat no longer ran from them at sight because running around chasing a kid was not what he wanted to spend his time doing and the brat could seriously run.

He stayed at a safe distance of the dirty blond mop running like his shoes were on fire but took care not to lose the boy. Across streets, through a small shop, over a fence, through alleyways, and across more streets. 'Either the kid is faster than I remember or I really need to hit the gym again,' was his thought as he ran after Akihito when suddenly the boy stopped at a park. He almost exposed himself when his sudden stop almost made him lose balance and fall on his face but thankfully he could use a nearby tree to help him hold on and hide from the photographer. He has ducked behind the tree just in time as a second later Akihito was franticly looking around him while trying to regulate his breathing somewhat. Suoh could see him double over and gasp for air while still looking around.

"Fuck! I'm too late!" said Akihito in an angry and loud voice as he looked at his phone's clock. He stood under a big tree in the middle of a small clearing on the park. The clearing was surrounded by trees that provided some coverage from prying eyes though not a lot.

"Actually, you made it just in time. One more minute and I would have already been gone." Said a female voice as a female voice as a girl jumped down from her perch up on a tree branch about three and a half feet above the surprised blond.

"The hell! You almost scared me to death!"

A sweet laugh came from the girl as she pushed the hood of her sweater back to reveal her face. He could not contain himself any longer and rushed the few steps separating them, he hugged her tight and a few tears escaped his eyes as his emotions began to run wild. The girl hugged him back and placed a chaste kiss on Akihito's lips before stepping back and smiling at him. She took his hand and led him to the base of the tree where they sat next to each other still holding hands.

"I missed you so much"

"I know. I missed you too. I just wished you had never left. I… I thought you were dead, you never contacted me after you got to Germany. It broke my heart to think I was never going to see you again."

"You know I had to leave, after everything that happened I could not stay here. I had to go; I had to find a way to be free of that night. I knew I was too weak to do anything back then, too weak for revenge. I could not drag you into this mess, you had a whole life ahear of you and being in contact whith me would only have gotten into trouble. Im sorry Aki but I did it for you, because you are all I have left and I could not risk losing you too."

"ha! Well I get into trouble all the time anyways one more thing would not have been the end of the world you know… but I understand why you disapeared and I don't blame you for it. Have you found freedom from the past then? Is that why you came back?"

"No, I am not free yet. But I will be soon; I just have to finish what they started. I just didn't know that of all places my revenge would lead me back here."

"Can't you just be done? You could start your life again, find someone and be happy, maybe have a family? Haven't you endured enough?"

"I can't Aki, I just can't. Not until this is all done. I can't just put things behind me and forget what they did to me."

Suoh watched the two as the girl placed a quick kiss on Akihito's lips and took his hand to lead him to the base of the tree. He looked at them puzzled as they talked to each other in hushed voices while they sat holding hands under the big oak tree. The proximity of his bosses' lover to this girl he had never seen before was unnerving. They were too close to each other, too familiar. 'What the hell is the brat thinking? Surely he must have lost his mind. He knows what Asami-same would react like when he hears of this. He knew not many things escaped his knowledge, yet here he was, letting this unknown girl touch Asami-sama's property. There is just no way a sane person would risk such wrath.'

The bodyguard was too far away to listen to the conversation between the two youngsters but he knew two things for sure; he was dreading the moment when he had to report this to his boss and his boss would be pissed.

"Mina-chan, please give up while you still can. I will help you start over." Said the boy as he held his friend by the shoulders and pulled her into another tight hug. She put her hands on his chest and pushed with enough pressure to let him know to let her go and looked into the hopeful hazel eyes.

"Actually Aki, I go by Kali now. It's kind of like a second identity. After all Sayako Mina is dead."

"But…" Akihito's next words were silenced by the girl's index finger on his lips. She smiled that sweet smile he remembered but as he looked at her face he realized the girl he once knew was gone. Her features where the same although more mature and she was as beautiful as ever, but her eyes betrayed her years of suffering and hardship. The sparkle that once gave witness to the innocence and happiness of youth was long ago lost and her cheerfulness had been put out as if someone had thrown sand upon a fire. As he studied her eyes he realized the bubbly, happy and innocent girl he once knew had run around in the mud and gone to school holding hands with was just a memory of the past.

"It's not safe for me to be here in the open too long. I have to go Aki; I will contact you again from a number you can reach me at. Don't speak about seeing me to anyone, not even Kou and Takato. You are the only one who knows that I am still alive and that I am here. When I have settled things I will be counting on you to help me remember what it is like to be a normal person but right now I need to keep being what I am. I need to stay a predator until my prey is gone from this world."

"I understand Min… Kali, I will be here if you need my help. Don't hesitate to ask. Will you be at the safe house? I still pay the rent for it but I did not put it under my name just in case, you know… to keep people from finding it."

"How did you manage to pay for two places at once? Because I doubt you were living there at any point in time."

"I got a small apartment, the rent was cheap and I ate ramen most meals but I just could not bring myself not to have a place for you to hide in just in case you ever showed up and needed to disappear."

"You are a good friend Aki; I am glad you thought about me for all this years and kept a place for me to be safe at."

"That is what friends are for, right? Well… happy hunting… I guess."

"Thanks, I'll contact you soon."

They stood up and look at each other without saying anything before hugging one last time. She turned around and began to walk away.

"Wait!" said the boy quickly grabbing her hand and turning her around. "Do you need any money? I don't have much with me but I can get you some." A blush on Akihito's face showed his embarrassment at not being able to help more.

"It's ok Aki, my 'job' has provided me with more than enough funds over the years. I can take care of things from here on. Well, goodbye."

"Bye"

He watched her go. This girl who had grown up with him, who was one of the most important people in his life – practically a sister, had gone through so much already and still could not be happy. It was a sad thought that someone who had been born the same day as him looked so much older and harsh than her year would account for. She got delt a bad hand in the game of life, good thing she had refused to stop playing though.

Well, this is it for now. I hope you enjoyed it. Please review and comment.
