The Hunter
Shinjuku is one of the most special places in Tokyo between the 23 other small cities, where there's more commerce along with a busy life with many of the biggest companies in Japan. It's ruled by politicians seeking fortune and many other desires that only rich people can get a hold of, however Asami Ryuichi is a young businessman and politician on the surface. He is categorized as one of the most influential men in the underworld. He is known as one of the men that has more influence on many routes in the black market, dealing with drugs and firearms which is why, along with his looks, that males and females find him out of this world. He's a person that can't be taken lightly as a simple businessman and is more dangerous than a simple yakuza.
Asami it's a man that never denies himself and lives his life doing and taking what he wants and when he wants it. He was really young at 4 years old, he got his soulpet which is a black panther with golden eyes. In the beginning it was not a good relationship because the panther was very stubborn and not tamed enough to be in the house of a rich family, but Asami knew how to deal with it as time passed and he didn't notice when the relationship with his pet turned better. He was satisfied with his pet Shun, whose name means "talent and genius", it was not a surprise for Asami to know that his pet was stubborn, because if the panther had a different personality it wouldn't be a pet that Asami would have, its known that pets have the same personality as their owners so Asami started to see it as a friend instead of just some kind of animal that needed to be with him only by convenience.
Shun was very big even when he was two years old, and with Asami being six years old it was the same. When he was younger he looked like a mature adult with a serious and calm expressionless face, always trying to do his best in everything he learned. His youth wasn't what he expected, but when he started to get older he recognized that he was different from others. When he turned 10 years old he was wondering why Shun had never been looking for his partner, there were many kids at that age that have already found theirs, even if it was a lie or the truth their pets always seemed to search for their soulmate. Asami never doubted of his friend Shun, but he felt sad more than once for doubting his panther. He started to think that maybe his friend didn't care or simply didn't seem to notice the feelings Asami had at that small age.
One day when Asami was at the age of 12 he was reading a book in the afternoon, when suddenly Shun started to get anxious. He wondered what happened that made Shun so aware of what was happening, he got out from his bed and reached for his pet that was scratching the walls of his bedroom. He approached to his pet and notice that Shun was waving his tail faster, Asami opened the door and Shun ran to the living room.
The panther was walking the whole house from one end to the other, moving his tail from one side to another as if he was looking for something he was staring at Asami with an amused look, meanwhile Shun was thinking about the sudden situation at that moment, "Your soulmate its finally here Asami." Asami thought the same thing apparently; he heard from his teachers that pets can feel when the owner's soulmate is close to them, or when they are born. Asami crouched while keeping his gaze in Shun and said, "Shun is my soulmate close to me?" but Shun didn't do anything.
Asami asked again, "Is it maybe that she was born?" and Shun nodded to him, Asami for the first time felt really happy about the fact that he and Shun were not alone in this world. The happy smile on his owner made Shun wonder, does his owner know that it's a "boy"? Well he didn't seem to care. Asami just smiled at the situation and went to his room for his book.
Years passed and Asami turned 25 years old. He started to wonder when he is going to meet his soulmate, and even if he looked for another person to be with it was just to satisfy his desires and nothing else beyond a physical relationship. It was as if something was not right when he held someone else, like something was missing, he knew that his soulmate was born and he was still alive because Shun was always in alert mode if by chance he got a clue about his soulmate too.
Time passed and there was nothing, Asami started to grow impatient but he always kept calm, above all Shun was no different, he got anxious and sometimes even making him behave was difficult. Asami thought at that moment that he should get focused on his business and finally making his own profits in his small club, even if he was young he was already powerful among the most respectful businessman in Tokyo, and he was gaining ground in the underworld.
Asami got older and more powerful, thanks to his father he inherited the shady business as well the reputation, he started being categorized as the king of Tokyo, and in the underworld he was the most powerful man. His empire was the strongest in Japan and also his fabulous club known as Sion is among the most famous clubs in the country. The rumors spread faster and taking with them the attention of every gang club in Japan. The rumours said that the CEO of Club Sion is one of the most ruthless men in Tokyo; he owned most of the dealing routes in Asia and some of them in Hong Kong and Russia. Asami Ryuichi is a young business man in the surface but a king of the underworld in the country of Japan.
Shun became one of the most intelligent soulpets in the country, the black panther was well trained for emergencies and in taking care of his owner. The panther was a model for almost every pet that wanted to become useful in society, intelligence and beauty reflected the golden eyes though neither of them had met their soulmate, they were never distracted by that fact but Shun always got angry each time Asami would spend time with other partners that weren't the fated one. He couldn't bother with his owner too much, above all he was part of the reason why they had never met their fated ones. Asami it's simple man but at the same time his words were law and everything he ordered is meant to be, he is ruthless with the ones that are seeking revenge against him or his organization, but at the same time he always takes care of his subordinates. One of the best businessmen in the country and one of the best soulpets were still looking for their soulmates, it wasn't heard that they were without one but they had never touched on the topic for the press.
Meanwhile on Monday Asami was in a meeting in one of his clubs, with his assistant, bodyguard and the club manager.
"I suppose you are aware of this mistake that you just made, right Sudou?." The man with golden eyes said while looking at the young manager.
"Yes Asami-san, I deeply apologize for this mistake and it will never happen again boss." Asami stared at Sudou, he was capable and talented when it comes to manage the club, however such mistakes can't be made without knowing the consequences.
"I'll pass it this time, but do not disappoint me again with such mistakes. I trust that you can handle everything else but let me make this clear Sudou, if you let this rat make deals with cheap wares, I'll make sure to give you a lesson on how to do your job properly." Said Asami while making sure the holster on his chest with his gun was seen by the young manager.
"Hai Asami-san". Sudou said with his head low, not taking his eyes from the floor. He couldn't fail again and get his boss angry with him.
Asami was walking to the exit of the club thinking about the situation and mistake of his subordinate, "it didn't cause any real damage but this can't happen again." He thought while entering his car with his men behind him, just as he was about to make a step into the car he smelled something very amusing, a combination of something sweet but unique, it wasn't food nor some kind of perfume, it's a scent that can only be smelled in the skin of a person. The kind of scent that you cannot find in any perfume, it was driving him insane, his head was dizzy and filled with lust.
His most trusted man noticed that his boss had his eyes closed and a frown on his face, it was making them worry, "Asami-sama are you ok?." Said the man with glasses, his respectful and very capable secretary. Asami entered the car after a few worry some seconds holding the door of the car. He sat on the black leather seat and grabbed his nose as a sign of discomfort.
"I'm fine⦠Suoh hurry up and turn the car on, drive around for a while around this neighborhood but not going to far from the club, right now."
His men were confused by his words and said, "Asami-sama you have a meeting in 15 minutes we are going to lose time driving in this traffic in this part of town." Said Suoh watching in the rearview mirror of the car.
"Just do it right now Suoh, don't make me repeat myself." said Asami trying to control the anger and desperation that was rising up slowly in his head. His soulmate was giving him quite a lot of trouble just from a scent that they were emitting, nobody has ever made him react like this, and he was really regretting the fact that Shun was not by his side at the moment.
"I need to find you right now..." thought Asami while Suoh was driving with a hint of concern in his eyes.
Asami was amused by the fact that he was not aware of the growing bulge that was slowly rising inside of his black-slacks. The sweet scent he smelled was vanishing, but for a brief moment it was strong as if his soulmate had smelled his own scent. At that moment the scent vanished, Asami was beyond pissed with himself because of his decision to not bringing Shun along to the meeting.
"Suoh go back to Sion" said Asami with a cigarette between his lips and a frown on his face; however the smirk that took place on his lips was from excitement.
"Hai Asami-sama". The blonde bodyguard drove around the busy streets of Shinjuku to the office of Sion, apparently his friend that was holding a tablet and re-adjusting his glasses looked at the eyes of Suoh who said with his eyes, "Don't ask." The secretary didn't know, or at least couldn't imagine what could have lead to his boss giving such an order and on top of that arriving late on purpose to the meeting.
The crime lord was on the top floor of his building, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window watching all the people passing by and thinking of the city, almost country that he owned. He turned his gaze when he saw Shun getting close to him, he said "Shun I have some good news for you." Shun already knew the 'news' his owner had, because he had smelled the scent of lust on his owner and knew that for sure this time they had found them. Shun sat as well with his owner at his side watching the people passing by, in front of the massive window. The warm hand of his owner was caressing his head and black ears, the golden eyes of Asami were showing eagerness, it was a gaze just like predators have for their next prey.
The deep voice resounded in the empty office just for them to hear, "Let's get ready for hunting Shun, they have made us wait too long don't you think?." Asami said getting anxious for what's to come, while Shun made a low and deep growl as if understanding what's coming. They won't be alone in the dark world just two of them anymore.
