Chapter 1
Asami was holding the switch blade knife tight in his hands. A wave of nostalgia rushed through him at the memories of how he had come into possession of that knife. He closed his eyes and whispered" Where are you Akihito?"
FLASH BACK.
Eighteen years old Asami was attacked and kidnapped along with his two best friends Kei and Kazumi. His arms and legs were tied up with thick ropes on a metal chair in the middle of a dark room. His body was badly abused by the hands of his attackers. Half unconscious he heard a faint noise coming from somewhere deep inside the basement. He opened his eyes and his vision landed on an angelic face. He closed his eyes and opened them again thinking he was hallucinating. But no, the same vision stood in front of him with a frown expression.
Asami sighed, he had to be badly injured to imagine a boy not more than five or six years old in a place like this.
"Umm excuse me, but what are you doing in my... castle?" asked the little boy. "Are you playing with the bad men? To me it looks like they are not playing nice! You look hurt! "
"No, we are not playing and they are definitely bad men, you better run away before they return and hurt you too."Asami answered.
"No, I'm not leaving and you are hurt. The bad men left with the ugly scary big car and I see only three outside the house. "
Asami thought that he could take three attackers with ease only if he could manage to untie his hands. The little boy saw Asami struggle with the ropes and pulled a switch blade knife from behind his back but was a little bit hesitant.
"Please don't tell my dad about this" and he flashed the knife in his little hands. He pushed the switch blade with lot of care not to get hurt and started cutting Asami's ropes.
Asami was watching the little brave boy with fascination. His golden wave's locks were falling in cascades on his little shoulders giving him an illusion of an angel. But the hazel eyes were saying to Asami that this little angel was a wild one, more like a wild fearless little kitten. Around his little neck was a gold chain with a beautiful kanji symbol for Bright (明). A make shift cape from a cut bed sheets was hanging behind his back.
The little boy was huffing and puffing cutting the ropes and it wasn't an easy task for his little hands. Asami's admiration for the boy was growing by the second.
Finally managing to cut the ropes around Asami's hands he raised to his feet and looked at Asami deep in the eyes. His little hands cupped Asami's bruised cheek and beamed a bright smile.
"I like your eyes" he said to Asami in a serious tone. Asami smiled and decided to humour the boy a little bit.
"Well thank you very much my little savior. But if I may ask!" Why you like my eyes so much!" The little boy blushes and answer.
"My grandma gives me a story book and inside is a picture of a black beautiful dragon and his eyes are the same like yours."
"So you are not afraid of the dragon! You know they can be very scary" asked Asami amusingly, this will be good.
"Oh no this dragon is a good one, he even saved the princess." The boy said with a crystalline voice.
"Well my name is Ryuichi but you can call me Ryuu (龍)" said Asami and caressed the little boy's head.
As if not surprised of the coincidental name the little boy started giggling.
"Sorry for my rudeness Dragon san my name is Takaba Akihito and I'm six years old. It's my pleasure to meet you". And he bowed in a very theatrical way.
"Like wise Akihito, the pleasure is all mines."
Asami looked at the knife in his hand with the engraved letters T.A. on it, and looked back at Akihito. He was too small to have this type of knife in his possession. It must to be his father's.
"Akihito, this knife is not yours is it? Who is T.A.? "
"Oh, that is my father's, his name is Takaba Akira and he take pictures of the bad people and my mother is Takaba Harumi and she stays home with me. We live in Tokyo but now I'm on holiday at my grandparents. I took the knife to pretend it's my sword and I'm a prince. This is my castle" he pointed his little finger around covering the perimeters of the abandon mansion. Now Asami understood what he meant when he asked him what he was doing in his castle." I found this place last summer when I came to see grandma and grandpa. Nobody lives here and I like to pretend it's my castle and I'm here to rescue the princess. And the knife is my sword to protect the princess."
He was a little chatter box, once he start talking it was hard to stop him.
"I know I'm not allowed to touch my daddy's knife but how I can't be a prince without a sword." he give a cute pout.
"You are absolutely right Akihito you are a prince and you need a sword to save your princess but this is too dangerous for you. What about a make shift wooden sword! Will that not be better and safer for you?"
Akihito tilted his little head like contemplating the idea and agreed with Asami. He was a bit afraid of the sharp knife but it was the only thing that crossed his mind to use as a sword.
Asami managed to cut the rest of the ropes and free his feet as well.
"Akihito I'm not here alone I have two other friends that are in the same situations as me, did you see them?"
"One of your friends has hair like mine and the other one wear glasses?" Akihito ask.
"Yes Akihito, did you see them?"
"They are in the next room but the one with glasses looks really hurt. I know you are not alone I've saw you when the bad men brought you and your friends from the big scary car. I was hiding in my tower watching for monsters. My tower is a big tree just outside the castle. Akihito stops and look at the knife.
"Dragon-san you can have my sword, you need it more than me. But promise me you will give back to me when I will see you next time."
"I promise my little savior, my prince" and Asami smiled, kneeling in front of Akihito.
Akihito hugged Asami tight and gave him a soft peck on his cheek. Asami was surprised of the gesture and asked Akihito what was for. Akihito smiled and answered that was for good luck. His mother always gave him a good luck kiss when he wanted to do something. Asami hugged Akihito back and buried his face in Akihito's golden locks and whispered.
"I promise and thank you for saving me."
"Pinky swear"
"Pinky swear" and they intertwined their pinkies together.
Akihito pushed Asami to an arm's length and started giggling again. Asami looked a bit puzzled but Akihito just looked at him.
Like sensing Asami's question mind Akihito answered.
"Well you see Dragon-san, I came here to rescue an imaginary princess but instead I rescued a real Dragon, Ryuu-san" and he rolled his little tongue for emphasis.
Indeed the fierce Dragon was rescued by a little prince.
"Yes, my little prince you rescued the dragon and I thank you. But now I want you to go back the same way you came and stay away, don't return. This place will be very dangerous when the bad men come back. Can you do that for me?"
Akihito nodded his little head and crawled back from where he came from, looking back with sad eyes at Ryuichi one last time, wondering when he would see his Dragon again.
Asami watched Akihito retreat through the crack in the wall and his broken heart hurt again at not knowing if he would ever see his little angel prince again. He promised he would return the knife to Akihito but that was if he could make it out alive and in one piece.
The fight ahead wasn't an easy one; he had to go against Tsutomu, a deranged lunatic hungry for power. Tsutomu was his dead aunt's husband. Asami Yuki was the oldest daughter of Asami Haru, Ryuichi's grandfather. Asami Haru had a younger son, Asami Ryota and he was Ryuichi's father. When Yuki got married to Tsutomu, Haru put him in the family registry. All this time he thought that he will be the one to inherit the Asami business and not Ryota. When Yuki died in a mysterious and tragic accident that everyone found out later that was caused by her husband. Asami Haru removed Tsutomu from the family registry. Tsutomu escaped and was keeping himself low until it was time to strike and take what he thought was his. He wanted to destroy the Asami name and image. But Above All he wanted to take and defile the young heir, Asami Ryuichi.
When he got married to Asami Yuki, Ryuichi was a teenager. A handsome boy with ebony hair chisel face, a body to die for but above all Ryuichi inherits the Asami's trade look. The golden eyes like molten lava only found in the Asami household.
Every time Tsutomu saw Ryuichi, his obsession for the young heir was grew stronger and stronger. He got to the point where he was sneaking into Ryuichi's room and stealing some of his clothes mainly underwear. When Ryuichi was sleeping he would let himself inside the room and watch the young boy, fantasizing of all the nasty things he wanted to do.
Ryuichi was sent abroad with Kei and Kazumi to study law and economics. They finished their studies and returned to Japan. Two weeks later his grandfather suffered a massive stroke and died. Asami Ryota now was officially in charge of the family business. Asami's household belonged to the old aristocrats with lot of powers. Their influence was run deep from politics to military and all businesses across Japan, especially the Underwood. No one dared to make a move or lift a finger without the Asami's knowing, not even the prime minister or the prince of Japan. They were the judge, jury and executioner all in one. The holy trinity.
Ryuichi was eighteen years old when the unthinkable happened. It was Kei's eighteenth birthday as well; they were all the same age. They got drunk at one of his father's club and made the mistake of letting their guards down. They were having fun like any normal young men drinking and dancing. Ryuichi Kei and Kazumi returned to the table to find another set of drinks waiting for them. They didn't give a second thought and downed the drinks in one go laughing and joking. Not long after Ryuichi started to feel light headed he looked at his companions and they all felt the same. Kei removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes, his vision was getting blurry and Kazumi was feeling his pulse on the neck. Ryuichi understood immediately that something was wrong and tried to get up, but he fell back in the chair. All three were drugged and now they were drifting away.
When they got out from their drug induce haze they were back at the Asami's mansion. The mansion was the size of a castle .The entire Asami clan lived in the same place. Kei's father was Asami Ryota's secretary and Kazumi father was the chief of security. They were a big happy family.
Now the three young men were in the main hall, hands and feet tied up with thick ropes.
Ryuichi was the first to speak.
"What the hell is going on? What is the meaning of this?" His father's men, armed to the teeth were spread around the big room.
Ryuichi heard a familiar voice laughing behind him. That sinistrous voice created shivers down his spine and not in the good way.
"Well well well… the young heir is up. What a pleasure to see you again Ryuichi. I was so disappointed when you ran off abroad to study. But I knew you would have to return one day and I was waiting for you." Said Tsutomu grabbing Ryuichi's face and forcefully kissing him and biting his lip until he drew blood. Ryuichi hissed in pain and spat in Tsutomu's face. Tsutomu back handed Ryuichi splitting his lip open.
"You don't understand boy, you don't have any power over me. I'm taking everything away from you and then I will take you. You will be my bitch and stay beside me watching me controlling everything."
He turned toward the armed men and nodded his head with a sadistic grin.
"Bring them in" he ordered. "Too bad is not your birthday Ryuichi, this will make a perfect gift for you." Said Tsutomu and licked Ryuichi's face.
The armed men push inside a group of eight individuals. All blind folded, hands tied behind their backs.
The young boys gasped at the sight of their parents and siblings all manhandled and beaten inch from death.
Asami Ryota, his wife Asami Amaya and their six year old daughter Asami Aiko, Ryuichi's younger sister.
Kirishima Daichi, his wife Kirishima Kaoru and their four year old daughter Kirishima Fumiko, Kei's younger sister. And Suoh Mamoru and his seven months old pregnant wife with twin girls Suoh Maiko.
"What a show and you boys have front row seat to enjoy." Said Tsutomu and walked towards the hostages. By now the alcohol and the drug in the system start to dissipate and the young boys saw clear as day the gravity of the situation. They started to struggle and fight back but they were apprehended with ease by the traitors. People that they thought are their friends, family. Now they were siding with this lunatic helping him in taking over.
Tsutomu ordered for the hostages to have their blindfolds removed. He took his gun from inside the jacket and with no remorse and hesitation pulled the trigger and shot Aiko and Fumiko point blank in the temples. Ryuichi and Kei let a horrific scream at the site of the sister's falling dead on the floor. Asami Amaya fainted and Ryota was in shock looking at his little daughter's lifeless body.
Ryuichi loved his little sister. He was twelve years old when his father came to him and told him to smarting up his act because he will be a big brother. And now he was watching his little sister in a pool of blood.
"You bastard. Why did you have to kill them? They were only children." Screamed Ryuichi with tears falling down his beautiful face.
"Blah blah blah just shut up and enjoy the show". Said Tsutomu with no trace of remorse on his ugly face.
Asami Amaya was still lying unconscious on the floor when Tsutomu walked toward her and leaned over. Ryuichi tried to turn his head not to see his mother's demise but one of the men held his head straight forcing him to watch.. Tsutomu pulled the trigger and shot Amaya in the head. He straightened up and walked in front of Kirishima Kaoru, looked in to her eyes and shot her right between. The woman was still in shock after watching her baby girl shot to death. Her brain didn't register that Tsutomu was standing in front of her, gun between her eyes. Kaoru even didn't feel the bullet piercing her skull.
Tsutomu shook his head in disappointment." What the hell not even a scream?" He asked irritated." What about you!? You are going to scream for me?" He asked the young future mother. Suoh Maiko was crying and she was holding protectively her seven month belly.
"I see you're not going to scream for me either but I will make you." Said Tsutomu with a crazy grin. He motion to couple of men to grab Suoh Maiko and bring her to him.
"Throw her on the floor and rip her clothes off." The men executed his orders.
Understanding what he is about to do the young mother started screaming and trashing. Kazumi and his father tried to fight to help her but they were overpowered.
"Hold her still "he ordered and he pulled his cock and thrusted deep inside her and started raping her violently. She was crying looking at her son and husband with sorrow and shame.
"What? No more screams?" said Tsutomu rising from between her bloody thighs. He grabbed his gun again and pulled the trigger shooting Maiko on her pregnant belly twice. The young woman screamed in pain. And Tsutomu was listening her screams like was a symphony. When he had enough he pushed the gun inside her mouth and pulled the trigger, ending her existence. Kazumi was crying and shaking in anger.
"This is getting boring" said Tsutomu and walked toward the remaining three hostages. He killed Suoh Mamoru and Kirishima Daichi and now was face to face with Asami Ryota. "You watched all your family and friends die before your eyes. How it was? Never mind that. But you're not going to watch your son being raped by me. Tsutomu walked behind Ryota and pressed his gun against his head.
"Any last words?" Tsutomu ask
"Go to hell" answered Ryota
"You first"
Before Tsutomu pulled the trigger Ryota looked in his son's eyes and mouthed 'I love you' and 'I'm sorry'. The bullet sound echoed through the main hall, ending Asami Ryota's life. Ryuichi shut his eyes close, it was too much for his young tender heart.
"What you want to do with them?" asked one man.
"Take them to the abandon mansions in Hokkaido ruffle them up a little bit but don't kill them. And nobody is to touch Ryuichi if you know what I mean, he is mine. Wait for me until I get there I have couple lose end to tie up".
