As part of the Revenge Series

Hiroki's Revenge

Part One

I still own nothing.

The mid summer sky lite the area with bright flashes of lightening. Akihiko stood at the entrance of the apartment complex to his friends home. He greeted the doorman and waited patiently while the elevator made its way to the bottom floor. Akihiko looked up at the elevator doors as they opened. Walking slowly in he pushed for the twenty-sixth floor and turned the key to allow him to enter the spacious home. The whole floor was a single apartment.

Hiroki and Nowaki had lived in the same apartment for the last ten years and they were still in love with it. Everything had a place as Nowaki was a very thorough and very obsessed man about a clean and organized home. Akihiko at first laughed as Hiroki always complained that Nowaki made him clean after himself, not that Hiroki was a pig its just a little chaos in one life was acceptable. But to the man's lover if something was out of place it would just cause Nowaki to get very irritated.

But looking at the home now he was kind of glad Nowaki was out of town on an assignment. He knew his father would be in contact with the sniper soon enough to have him fly back as soon as possible. Akihiko heard the elevator door opened again and turned to face the new person that had entered.

Takahiro had decided that since the death of his wife he rejoined the team and had left his son in the care of his wife's family, they were happy to care for the boy as a way to make up for the failure of their daughter's life. They felt responsible for her getting into a life of crime and was going to make up for it through her son. Takahiro still visited and cared for the child, but needed to work at something he was good at and also to keep his son out of danger.

Akihiko stood looking over the total destruction of the apartment and thought that whoever had taken Hiroki had lost many of his men in the fight that had taken place. Hiroki or as the underground called him the Demon was no small man to contented with. He was strong and very fast with his fist and mouth. He was a hard one to take down. He could fight for a long time without getting tired. But there was nothing left of the furniture, the dining room table had collapsed and the chairs had all been thrown around. Windows were broken and a small fire had started but had been extinguished with the sprinklers that had soaked everything.

That was how they knew something was up. The alarm system alerted them of the fire and when they phoned him there was no answer and that is why Akihiko and Takahiro were here.

"Did the manager say anything?" Akihiko asked his friend. They had decided that for the sake of the team and Misaki they put their difference away and they were closer than ever.

"No, he was not here when this took place, what I want to know is how hard they had to hit Hiroki to knock him out." Takahiro said as he smirked at the large shape dent in the wall. Him and Hiroki had not the best friendship in the world, in fact they could barely stand one another. Takahiro had apologized several times for the way he had treated Nowaki in the past, but Hiroki being the stubborn man that he is refused any missions were he and Takahiro would be alone. Reason was that he would probably kill the man before the mission was complete.

"Maybe we should just wait until Shinobu has anything, I know that he was looking when I called him last." Takahiro suggested. He wanted to be away from here as soon as they could leave.

"The cleaners will be here in a few hours to clean up the area and make sure no evidence is left behind." Akihiko said as he walked around. Although Nowaki's gun room had been the first to be clear, Hiroki didn't use any weapons so there was nothing that would incriminate him. He was the most resourceful of the team and the most handiest to have around. Hiroki could walk in a crowded room and by the time the rest of the gang showed up he would pretty much have the entire room unconscious and be sitting at one of the tables drinking something.

Turning Akihiko and Takahiro left the ruined apartment to go back to headquarters to see if Shinobu had anything new for them. Getting in the car they drove down the rain covered streets. When they reached the building they got out and went in. Working there way down to the basement they could hear the pulsing music that alerted them that Shinobu had company and did not want to be disturbed. So they went right instead of left and found their way to the morgue that was set up for Aikawa to do her work.

They both hated to go in there, but she would hardly come out of the room. Her fear had happened when her hospital was targeted when they had killed one of the bosses from south Africa. Aikawa was in the building when eight men stormed in and shot the place up. She had barely survived as she was hit with multiple bullets. Thank the gods that she had an amazing staff on hand. She was in a coma for many days and when she came out she remembered what had happened and almost went insane from the trauma. But that was then and this was now and she had decided that she would work alone and only with the dead. She would still work for anyone that needed her, but most days she would be down here in the basement and discover who the dead was and how they died.

"Aikawa have you found anything on our guys yet?" Akihiko asked as they walked threw the doors. He backed up just in time when Aikawa turned with a brain in her hands. Gagging to himself he looked to his left and Takahiro had paled and looked a little green.

"Yes I have, mass trauma, probably from where they were beaten up by Hiroki. I sent fingerprints and blood up to Shinobu for testing, but he is currently busy at the minute." Aikawa said as she weighted the brain and to record it.

"Well let us know when your done, and father would like to talk to you as soon as you have time, no rush." Akihiko said as he walked backwards to the door. Takahiro was already waiting outside in the corridor with a small smile. Akihiko muttered something about cowards and walked in the direction to Shinobu's office.

It had taken sometime for the new building to be outfitted with what they needed. Office space for the group. A gym had taken up residence on the second floor with the offices on the third floor, the morgue and the evidence room were in the basement.

"Shinobu, you better be decent." Akihiko hollered in the room, but due to the loud music he was doubtful that he would be heard. Akihiko walked in and saw Shinobu sitting at his desk typing very fast. Looking over at his new company he screamed and fell backward, showing that he had his pants down. Takahiro closed his eyes as Miyagi popped his head out from underneath the desk with a slight blush staining his cheeks. A very red face Shinobu jumped up and righted his clothes and cooled his face down with his hands.

"Ah Miyagi how was the flight." Akihiko asked with humor laced in his voice. Hiroki would have found this to be extremely hilarious as he was always getting caught with Nowaki.

"What the hell, you don't just walk into my office." Shinobu bitched as he helped his lover up and into his chair. He grabbed the remote and turned down his music.

"Aikawa sent some fingerprints and blood to be tested, I hope for Hiroki sake that you have started on that." Takahiro said as he opened his eyes to see Miyagi smirking at him.

"Of course I have, what do you think I have been doing all day." Shinobu muttered crossing his arms looking mad. Akihiko and Takahiro looked at him and then at his lover, causing Shinobu to roll his eyes and walk to his main computer in the middle of the room.

"Okay no luck on the fingerprints, I have went through all the known databases and not one hit. The blood was no luck at all. Aikawa sent to photos of the men and I have scanned them and now I am waiting for something to hit." Shinobu said. A thought occurred to him as he was typing.

"Are we sure that this is not another one of their foreplay scenarios again. Catching them in the act was totally disgusting and I do not want to do that again." Shinobu said as he hit the keys on his keyboard.

"You didn't see the apartment, foreplay or not they would never destroy their home like that, let alone involve other people, people that are laying in the morgue right now." Akihiko said as he lit a cigarette.

"He has a point Shinobu. Sorry though it was a nice theory." Miyagi said as he puffed at his smoke.

"Well I have people stationed at the airports, docks, border centers and bus station, also got the local law enforcement involved and still had time for my lover, beat that." Shinobu said with a smirk and looked smug.

"Just call when you have more, I have to talk to my father to see if he got in touch with Nowaki yet." Akihiko said as he turned and walked out.

"Oh my head, what the hell hit me." Hiroki moaned as he turned his body to lay on his back. He opened his eyes and was glad that it was dark, he didn't think that he would be able to take the sun glaring right now. Judging by the pain in his body he figured that he had been taken from his home.

Looking down he felt the hard pavement he was on and realized that he was in an alleyway, but what shocked him was that there was a pair of green eyes staring right at him. They were attached to a little girl that looked about three or four. With brown hair and rosy cheeks. Her clothes were tattered from wear and she looked like she had not had a bath in several weeks.

Grimacing in pain he worked his way up to a sitting position and saw the little girl move away from him in fear.

"I won't hurt you, ya know. Can you speak?" Hiroki said as he climbed to his feet. The little girl shook her head and pointed to the right and started walking to a phone booth on the corner. Hiroki followed and picked up the phone and checked his pockets for change and realized that it was all at the house. He paled when he thought about the house or what was left of it anyway.

"shit I don't have any change for the phone." Hiroki grumbled as he slammed the phone on the receiver. He shifted when he felt a light tug on his pant making him look down at the girl. He was stunned silent when the girl lifted her hand and two coins were shown and he gratefully accepted them.

It was a well known fact that Hiroki could not stand little children, he saw them as annoying and not very useful in their child like state. But something in this little child that had made him smile, perhaps it was her bravery he did not know. But one thing was for certain he was going home.

Leaning down to eye level he asked the girl if her parents were around only to be disappointed when she lowered her head and tears fell from her eyes. Reaching for the phone Hiroki called headquarters.

Akihiko sat at his desk talking to his father when the phone rang and he glanced up to see Takahiro answer.

"So did you get in touch with Nowaki yet... maybe he knows and is already on route...hmm of course were looking into it...no Hiroki would never...yeah okay wait Takahiro is waving at me, I'll call you back, good day father.." Akihiko hung up the phone.

"yes of course we will pick you up, just give me your location." Takahiro nodded and wrote as fast as he could and with a "well be there in a few, hang tight" Takahiro slammed the phone down and jumped to his feet. "That was Hiroki he is in town at a phone booth, come on lets go." Takahiro said as he started walking.

Akihiko drove to the area that was given and sure enough there he was, and was that a little girl beside him?
