Chapter 2: Kill Me Now
Asami, Kirishima, and Suoh were discussing Akihito's kidnapping when they suddenly heard suspicious noises coming from the bookshelf. The bookshelf where the secret room is located.
It's an emergency room, the last line of defense; it's for a messy situation if someone breaks into Sion, gets past the guards, kills Suoh and Kirishima, and makes it into Asami's office.
Suoh and Kirishima wordlessly draw their guns when Asami gave the order, the subtle nod of his head.
Guns pointed at the bookshelf, Asami himself draws his Ceska Zbrojovka gun.
All they can hear are muffled words, something about being trapped in a room along with a few muffled knocks and pounding.
Asami nodded again to signal for Kirishima to open the secret door. The bespectacled Secretary/Bodyguard/Chauffeur pushed a few wooden segments of the bookshelf up and in which unbolted the bookshelf from its secure position to the floor. This allowed the bookshelf to give way and be pushed aside, exposing the secret room.
There should be a heavy metal door behind the wooden bookshelf, but instead stood a 5 foot, 6 inch woman with her arms crossed over her chest. Typically the door is locked with a secure password, but it seems like she opened the door from the inside.
She wore a tight dust pink shirt - that left nothing to the imagination- which had childish handwriting scrawled on it. The words read, "I Seriously Need A Speed Bump Between My Brain and My Mouth." It was tucked into tight black jeans with strategic rips that peeked patches of sun kissed skin.
It seemed the woman was too angry to stop herself from finishing her rant, "-fucking swear, Angela if this is all just some stupid prank, I'm going to kick your ass! You hear me!"
Multiple emotions crossed her face in this order: anger, surprise, confusion, understanding, then finally a grim frown.
Someone had infiltrated one of the best kept secrets of Sion. Only he, Kirishima, and Suoh knew of this room. All the contractors who had built it… were at the bottom of the Tokyo Bay and the blueprints were all destroyed. No copies were made. Not even Akihito knew of this room. His yellow eyes narrowed in the promise of torture, "You better hope it's not a prank."
The girl had some guts. Although she was clearly scared, she attempted to hide the fear from her voice, a lovely one at that. Its tone embodied the innocence of his Akihito with a more feminine ring and less determination than his fiery kitten, "... I come in peace?"
Suzume's POV
Fuck fuck fuck, I know they won't hesitate to shoot me if they think I'm an enemy.
"Um, can you please put those dangerous things away? They're kinda scary?" No one made a move to holster their guns. "Oh okay. Uh, can you please tell me where I am?"
Before I could ramble more, Blonde Hulk grabbed my arms and forced them behind me. I was roughly pushed onto the couch, my face staring up into predatory yellow eyes.
Glasses answered, "You are trespassing on private property. If you do not tell us how you got here and who is helping you, we will not hesitate to break a finger. You have ten fingers and ten toes, so you better start talking."
"WoAh! My name's Suzume, and I'm a techy. Don't worry I didn't hack into here, I'm not looking for a death wish. I was just walking home when I blacked out and ended up here. But wait first, can I ask what day it is? Please! I'm just as confused as you are!" Still adamant about figuring what the fuck is going on, I needed a timeline.
Obviously I'm in a Yaoi manga, which is so fucking weird, but of course I land on the most dangerous one. Why couldn't it have been Junjo Romantica! Literally in the name, it also means "Pure Romance." Also, who universe hops into yaoi?
My train of thought abruptly ended as my the collar of my shirt was roughly yanked down. "Wah?! You pervert, stop it!" I wiggled and struggled.
My efforts didn't matter anyways because a hard object was suddenly pressed into my back. I froze, "Blonde Hulk, I don't know if that's a gun or if you're happy to see me." I guess my cheeky side survived the traumatic situation, although it seems like it will make matters worse.
I refused to whimper or beg, even if I get shot and I die like this. It's good to know universe hopping is possible.
Asami got a good look at something on my left shoulder.
I glanced downwards to see what everyone was staring at, and there was an origami sparrow tattooed into my shoulder. "This isn't funny. Who the fuck drew on me?!" Although I was angry, apparently the tattoo meant something to Asami.
"May 5th." That dangerous voice answered my question.
I was caught off guard, forgetting that my question from about 5 questions ago was just answered. "... what year?"
Eyes narrowed, "2016."
"Oh shit. Oh shit. Where's Aki?" My eyes widened when I accidentally let his name slip.
My chin was roughly grabbed and my head was yanked upwards.
My eyes watered as I blinked rapidly from the pain. Doing so wasn't a great idea. My widened, watery eyes was the perfect combination for my colored contact lens to fall out of my left eye, the blue one. Now my heterochromic eyes were on full display.
Despite this mishap, nothing phased Asami, he growled dangerously, "What did you do to him." Ruthless and willing to do anything and everything to protect his domain and his lover.
I took a deep breath, here goes nothing, "You aren't going to believe me even if I say it."
Blonde Hulk tightened his hold on me in response to my disrespectful answer.
Deep chuckles vibrates through the room, "Try me."
Asami let go of my face and must've signaled something to Blonde Hulk because he suddenly let go. I collapsed into the couch.
Standing up properly and rubbing my arms, "Okay, so apparently it's May 5, 2016. I'm kinda from… the future, well 2019, but not your future."
"How do you know you're not from our future?" Glasses skeptically inquired.
"Because, Kei Kirishima." My hands found themselves resting on my hips, while my upper body leaned forward, "Your dangerously sexy boss, Asami Ryuichi, is the protagonist - more like antagonistic bastard in the words of Akihito Takaba - of a uhhh… a book."
I blushed furiously once my brain caught up to my mouth. Damn my lack of a brain-to-mouth filter! I don't need a speed bump, I need the ceiling to cave in on me to save me from my own mouth. I just called the scariest crime lord that has ever existed… sexy! Shit fuck. Not even that, he's fucking taken!
"It's not a book, is it."
Of course he'd be able to read right through me.
"I'll tell you what it is later! Once we rescue Aki."
Eyebrows raised, "There is no 'we.' You know where he is?"
"Yes I know you're working on finding him right now, but the sooner you save him the better."
Asami took a drag from his Dunhill cigar. As a businessman, and especially as a crime lord, there's an unspoken rule of thumb to never succumb to pressure. Making rash decisions in his line of work could lead to the downfall of his empire. Even if his Akihito was being tortured at this very moment, his face and body language would never betray a single emotion.
"And why would we trust you. It could be a trap."
"You can't trust me. I mean, a girl randomly showing up in your-" I glanced around me to double check this was really his office in Sion, "-office, is pretty crazy in the first place. Send in your friend Kuroda from the police or whatever his name is with a SWAT team. Bulletproof vests are a good idea, especially for Kuroda. That traitor is armed. The betrayal runs deeper than it seems, Asami-san. It's 'san' right? I'm not Japanese so I have no clue."
"It's 'sama' to-"
Asami held up his hand to cut off Glasses.
"Where is he?"
"From what I remember from the… book, he's being held in Warehouse 9 by the Tokyo Bay. The place is called… Nishiura. It's that blonde haired guy! Uhhh, Sudou is his name? I think that's how you pronounce the name? Anyways, he also has a foreign accomplice."
Asami was already on the phone barking orders. Guess he didn't care much for how to pronounce names, as it seemed he recognized the warehouse.
"The accomplice is a Russian guy, I'm pretty sure. They never showed his face, but he looked Russian." I paced as I tried to recall the manga, "He will be on the upper level of the warehouse and once you barge in to apprehend Sudou, he'll shoot at Aki. Ummm but then you prevent it by shooting his hand, good shooting skills by the way. I thought you should've gone for the leg at first, but you disarmed him so he couldn't kill Aki, but maybe shoot his leg immediately after if you can? Because he gets away."
Oh my god I can't shut up. Asami's eyes followed me as I stopped pacing, "Shit, fuck. I wasn't supposed to say that. What if the plot changes? Oh no, just… just save him quickly. He's scared to death, Aki oh my god I hope you're okay."
Not one to take orders, Asami had a mind to shoot the girl right then and there but she was hiding something more important.
"Handcuff her to the wall and make sure someone stays here to keep an eye on her." Asami and Suoh move to leave the room as Kirishima calls in a guard from outside.
"I almost forgot! Don't go back to your penthouse! It's compromised. That accomplice will send a hit force out sometime today, tonight. I dunno what time it is, but whatever time you would normally be asleep." That made everyone pause. I blushed, "I know Aki needs *ah hem* reassurement after this incident but take him to a safer location."
Asami stared at me for a second, I hid nothing from my face, I laid my emotions bare in front of the panther. If I didn't, he wouldn't hesitate to dispose of me. "Change of plans, take her to Safehouse 4. I'll join you after."
Then he and Blonde Hulk exit the room.
I protested as Glasses handcuffed me, "Can you not? It's not like I can overpower you, plus I'm not into this kink!"
A/N: Does anyone still read My Loveprize in Viewfinder? Hands down one of the best yaoi out there. I'm dying for it to be updated, I really freaking wanna know what happens. And well, I guess stories arise in my mind when I'm unsatisfied.
