Flash back 6 years ago
St. Andrews International School of Tokyo
One raven haired teenager stands in front of an announcement board. Seemingly ignorant of his fellow schoolmates laughter and chattering around him. His western style uniform crisp as ever and styled hair so flawless. Only his face blanks of any emotions, it's easy to think that the boy was deep in thought. But, someone who's perceptive and sensitive enough would be able to tell that the boy was having his inner turmoil. The boy heard a familiar laughter slowly approaching along with several other footsteps. Funny how he could always distinguish that voice even when he's in full focused mode and deliberately tuning his surroundings off and yup.. Not long after, a pat on his shoulder and blinding cheeky smile of a handsome face greets him.
"Aahhahaa.. what are you doing standing there like a statue?" the cheeky blonde stops a little to look at the announcement board. His companion of two boys Kou and Takato and several girls stopped talking, eyes drinking the sight of two of the brightest and hottest student in their school doing their usual repertoire. Oh, the mock exam results. Hmm...No wonder he's like that. "Now I see.. Seems like you're no. 2 again. Sorry not sorry to be exact heheh. Come on, why so serious eh? It's just numbers" the blonde put one hand on his shoulder directing him away from the crowd.
"Only because i lose the bet, Takaba.." Asami sighed, well i'll challenge him again next time. Looking as cool as ever, he would've been the most handsome if not for this blonde beside him. The most handsome, the most popular and the list goes on. Asami looking back at his friend/guards Kei and Kazumi, silently telling them to not follow him.
"Yeah..yeah..contrary to the results, i always think you can beat me any day you know. I always take you seriously." Takaba said matter of factly. One hand loosening his tie, revealing fair skin under that collarbone.
Yeah, right. If you called skipping school for days because you're busy day trading, gambling and staking out when every other students are cramming for exams serious. And still effin' aced the tests. It irked Asami. But despite all that he said, Asami knows that the blonde is really taking him serious. He always was. In fact, Asami is the only friend on par of competing with him, he didn't need to hold back and the result was Asami was always overshadowed. Inside and outside of school.
Yup their family knew each other, allies to be exact. Both are in the line of succession of two prominent Yakuza family, with Aki succeeding after his grandfather and Asami after his father. Most likely, it will be Aki's succession first before him. Different from the Asami's, The Takaba's are more likely to have power struggles after his grandfather's passing. Though Shouichi sama is alive and well there were factions within the Takaba's who underestimated Akihito simply because he's young, especially his own uncle. His grandfather, unorthodox as he is, simply said that it's Aki's first challenge to take on his challengers and make them acknowledge him as the future clan leader, That's the Takaba's way. Sounds cruel but he knew Shouichi sama's tough love for his only grandchild. Those were turbulent two years for Aki right when he's starting high school. Filled with fights, near death experiences and inner turmoils. Ryuichi has seen it all, in fact he's been by his side all this time. Along with Kei, Kazumi, Takato and Kou.
Takaba Akihito, young and jovial as he is, was fully trained in martial arts, complete with smart brains and cunning appearance. Well, that was the minimum prerequisite if you want to be the top dogs of the underworld. Combined with his fearless attitude, he's savage and merciless when it comes down to it. And his eyes...his eyes always had those..sorrow. Asami knew how much Aki loves and appreciate life but he also had learned early on that if he wanted to survive he needs to be firm and fierce ever since his parents died after a shooting by other Yakuza clan. Aki survived after 6 months of induced coma. The war that follows remain inside their memories and most probably Japan's memory. It's not every day that there's 255 dismembered bodies, burned estates and an entire clan wiped out. Served as a mere bad memory for most but for certain crowd, a lesson best learned. It was then that there's peace treaty since wars between Yakuza families are decidedly not good for business, too much loss for it's worth. That is also why Yakuza these days are clad in designer suits, endeavoured in more of a corporate style business and more likely to hold iphones than guns. They seldom kill people. Despite all that, their presence were still intense and spine chilling especially for civilians. Simply said, it's like a love and hate relationship between Japan's society, government and Yakuza. It is still arguable if Japan was better without them, they have blended that well with Japan's society and culture.
Well, two years of bloody power struggle and not so tremendous effort from Akihito which consists of day trading, gambling and doing stake outs, Akihito has proven to have vision and capability to be the heir. Proving himself to be the efficient moneymaker for the clan. He established one groups and information network full of IT savvy, inquisitive and loyal personnel, literally handpicked them to handle all the information gathering and blackmailing of mostly corrupt high ranking officials. They are the most likely and best prey for that, the money and bargaining power they had over them is no joke. Aki simply said to Asami it's an alternate version of his unachievable passion of becoming an investigative photographer and journalist. The smile was charming as usual in everyone's eyes but Ryuichi always knew the bitterness inside.
In those two years, with Aki balancing his duties in and out of school. He's mostly attend school for two weeks every months, enough to maintain his grade and popularity with schoolmates. They missed him, they only know that Aki and Asami's family were super rich and Aki was about to take over the family business with no clear definition of what kind of business they're in. By that time Asami's popularity was no. 1. Piercing golden eyes, drool worthy abs, cool demeanor, smart brains and mysterious aura a total magnet for girls and boys alike. Takaba has his own fanbase. They mostly love his good looks, laid back attitude and sunny personality, his blue eyes and platinum blonde hair he inherited from his Russian mother. Your typical bishounen with charming personality, little that they know that it was his 'public' face. Until one day Takaba was ambushed when they're on a field trip. The opposing party tried to harm Takaba's friend slash groupies to threaten him. That was when akihito's inner demon comes forth. He fought all 10 assailant empty handed and still come out victorious. Contrary to Ryuichi, Kei, Kazumi, Kou and Takato who knows the real Aki, the other students were gaping like a fish.. too awestrucked with the way Takaba fluidly move and when it's all ended, with slightly messy blonde hair, rather dishevelled clothes, blood dripping a little from the side of his bruised mouth asking for his friends/groupies well being.. And that was the exact moment Takaba's popularity went off the chart in their school. Ryuichi again overshadowed but then Ryuichi himself admit that Akihito was cool. There's also the thing with Takaba. No matter how he beats you at everything you can never hate him since he always did it in good spirits and never let it go to their heads.
Drowned in his own musings he didn't realize where Takaba lead him to. The parking lot. Oh, no you don't.
"Think fast!" Akihito suddenly flung a helmet towards Ryuichi.
Ryuichi was able to catch it. Takaba chuckles, already wearing his helmet. "You seem to be contemplative today huh? What? Are you having an epiphany or something?"
Asami just shrugs, pointing at the sleek black and red Kawasaki motorbike. "So you're bringing it again huh. I don't know how our teachers and friends don't hate you. You basically parade around breaking school rules and get away with it..." Their friends would surely drool at the sight of it. Aki's first purchase, the result his first attempt of making money through day trading. A tiny part of it.
"Well, that's a part of my charm. It's not like we're saints Asami. Us of all people. Okay now..Get on! We won't be able to ditch your guards at this rate".
"...sure.. like you really wanna ditch them" Asami sighed hopping on the bike. Loosening his tie.
"Haahaha you knew me so well.. I really do though.. After some play chase" Takaba grins, starting his motorbike, taking pleasure of hearing the hum of well tuned engine. Driving to the gate he stops a bit to give a cheeky tongue to Asami's guards on a Black BMW. Only to speed off a moment later at breakneck speed. Asami's guards immediately followed. Aki's driving while laughing his heart out. It's heartwarming and thrilling at the same time, even Asami was laughing. Akihito really knows Tokyo well. All it's alleys and open spaces they could use to evade chase. Ten minutes was all it took for Aki to ditch Asami's guards.
Not long after they arrived in Akihabara, A maid cafe in particular. Damn blonde just had to pick this out of all places. This is one of his punishment for losing..again.
"Goshujin Sama.. Okaeriii..." as soon as the door opened they were greeted in chorus by cute frilly dressed maids. There are whispers from the other patrons, premium hottie they say. Asami smirks as he stalks after Aki like a panther on prowl to their designated booth. Asami had no problems with girls he's just tired ofthem sometimes. Aki, sweet tooth as he is, ordered jumbo parfait of course for Asami too. Seeing Asami pale at the threat of sweet foods was one of Aki's favorite past times. Asami only managed two spoons of it before he blanched and quickly purging his tongue by drinking espresso and eating Yakisoba. Aki was really having the time of his life with Asami in tow. Playing games, singing karaoke and even taking purikura with all of the maids. The maids just won't let go of them. Asami noticed in the middle of flirting with one of the maids that Aki left the room for a bit. Undoubtedly to talk to one of his contacts. By the time Aki got back Aki seems a bit pale but keeps being jolly as usual so Asami simply thought it was only his imagination. Then Aki drives him home to Asami Estate meeting Ryuuzou, Asami's Dad that was like his own father. They got scolded a bit then Aki apologized to Ryuuzou knowing full well that the Oyaji can never get angry with Aki. Right when he's about to leave Aki seems like he's in pain then he fell unconscious.
The Asami's immediately called their private physician. Things would get really ugly if Aki were found hurt in their care though Ryuuzou knows Shouichiro sama would know better. Still it would provide grounds for ill intended means to disrupt their alliance. The problem is Shouichirou sama was on a business trip to Hokkaido. After Aki was taken to the guest room, Ryuuzou interrogated Ryuichi of their whereabouts suspecting it was a case of poisoning. But then the doctor comes out and inform them that aki was undergoing emergence. Such a rare case for his age and therefore a higher risk. As soon as Aki wakes up he needs to be admitted to the hospital so that the survival rates would increase. Do not move him before he wakes up, the doctor gave his strict order. They need to make sure of his fluid intakes.
The Asami's was shocked to say the least, but Ryuuzou quickly informed the situation to Aki's grandpa. And Aki's grandpa entrust Aki in their care since he was still tied in Hokkaido. Meanwhile, Ryuichi still can't get over his shock.. Takaba emerges?! He's becoming a girl? Wait..then that means that Aki's claim as an heir for his clan will be weaker to non-existent. Things will be very dangerous for him. And what does this means for Ryuichi? For both of them? Out of all of Aki's unpredictableness, this one sure made Ryuichi speechless.
So that's it.. Ryuichi is still a teenager and more light hearted at the start of this..and like in this fic he's obviously overshadowed by Aki at the start of this fic, sorry not sorry for those who didn't like it..he'll most probably shine when it's Aki's POV..actually i'd like to give this fic as a gift for some awesome finder fic writers i admire but was just too embarrased to do it..shoddy job and all..english is not my first lingo so expects mistakes in writing,i'll try to improve as we go.
its all fiction so i basically just made it up
