Author Notes: Hello readers. I hope you are enjoying the story so far. Sorry for the long wait but it is sort of the end of the term. I can't believe this term is almost over, plus I only have one more term to go. This is in Kirishima's POV, plus there is a surprise toward the end. Hope you enjoy it and please tell me what you think.
Kirishima stared at his phone as he stood on the balcony. The words written to him would not escape his mind. Was it Itou making a statement? The number was blocked. He lit up his fifth cigarette as he listened to the sounds of his family inside. He was living a double life. One where there was light and the other where darkness took over his soul. It was easier when Akio was alive but that all ended. He swore revenge. He swore to protect Akihito. He swore to fall even farther into the dark world to stand by Akihito's side. It always came back to the Takaba name.
His wife, Aimi came up to him as he shut his phone quickly. She wrapped her arms around him as her words sounded stressed, "Do you have to go back to work?" He turned around to face her. Her beauty always captured him. Maybe it was the light and fire in her that made him eager to return to this part of life. He put his phone away as he answered, "No. Just some stupid prank caller." Aimi looked at him with a raised eyebrow. She leaned toward him, hugging him. The warmth he didn't deserve but took every second he could get. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.
Aimi pulled away as she laughed in a strain voice, "Get ready. I am sure you will have an early morning." He went to say something or ask her what was wrong but she went inside with a sad look on her face. He didn't want to see that look on her beautiful face. He glanced toward his phone for a second, shaking his head. Yes, he did have an early day tomorrow. He went inside to get his shower.
Before he entered the master bedroom, he heard Aimi's voice on the phone, "I think he might be having an affair, mom." His entire body froze as he replayed the words his wife was saying. He shook his head and entered the room. Aimi would confront him about sooner or later and he will straight out tell her a lie. He couldn't even really say it was an affair. Akihito and he were only releasing their darkness within the room, nothing more than that. He made a point to stay away from his boss for a while. It would do no good for them to be in the same space. Akihito needed someone else. He needed to focus on his growing family. He took off his clothes as he stared into his bathroom mirror. What was he seeing looking back at him?
His thoughts were shaken once again as his phone rang loudly on the sink. He picked up, "Kirishima speaking." There was a deep breath and an order, "Be here by six. I found the perfect match." Before another word could be echoed within the room, the line went dead. The order was full of confidence and he shook his head. He muttered under his breath, "How long will this new person take before he ends up in his bed?" He shook his head as he stepped into the hot shower, letting the water wash away his sins and thoughts for the night.
Twenty minutes later, he stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and drying his hair with the other. He glanced toward the bed to see Aimi sitting there still with her head down and hands folded on her lap. He was hoping the conversation wasn't going to come up tonight. Before he could say a word, Aimi asked, "Are you having an affair, Kei?" He went toward her, lifting her face. There was water rolling down her face from tears. He lied calmly, "No." He showed no emotion of his lie even though his chest hurt.
Aimi stood up, hugging him as she wept, "Swear it to me. Swear, Kei. I have been getting hanged up phone calls. Tell me you are telling the truth." He wanted to snap as he realized someone was playing with his wife. His family was off limits within his world. He pulled her back, swearing with his continued lie, "I am not having an affair." Aimi gave him a soft smile, wiping at her tears. He swore someone was going to pay for those calls. He kissed his wife, whispering, "Let us get some sleep tonight." His wife gave a tired smile and they got into bed. Aimi curled close to him as his mind was racing with anger. He wanted to hurt those who were toying with her. He wrapped his arm around her, laying his hand on her belly as he did when he found out about Emi. He kissed her forehead as he shut his eyes for the night.
The next day, Kirishima thought his wife would be better, but she kept giving him looks. His lie was not passing by her. She still held the thoughts of an affair. He was going to seriously harm someone at work today. He stood up, kissing the top of Aimi's head. He went to walk by her but a small hand grabbed a hold of his suit jacket. He stared straight ahead as he repeated his lie, "I am not having an affair." Aimi sighed sadly as she whispered so low that he almost missed her words, "Stop. Come back to me." He heard the first statement, Stop lying. He walked out the door, ready for a day of darkness. He entered his car, looking in his glove box to see a back-up weapon. He grabbed it and put it in the holster that he hid under his suit jacket. He was going to make someone pay dearly for attacking his wife even if it was true. He refused to let her in his dark world. She needed to be free from it. She was his light and she will remain that way.
The ride to work was easy enough but the anger was not dying down one moment. He saw the guards look at him for a second before they went on their duties. He was a little surprised not to see Akihito staring down from the stair railing. He walked toward the Hiro's office. He put on the mask of emotionless within seconds as he entered the office. Itou, Hiro, and a new man stopped talking as soon as he entered. He walked toward Hiro, bowing his head, hating every minute of it. When was Akihito going to act? When would he be needed truly? Should he back out of the dark world for good?
He glanced toward the man sitting in front of Hiro's desk. The man had slick black hair that was perfectly in place. The man wore a suit like everyone else in the dark world did to look like they weren't criminals. The man glanced toward him and those golden orbs stared at him, reading him. Whoever this person was, his eyes looked lost, unable to find a place to call home. He wanted to laugh at the meeting. It was over before it even started. He paused as he heard Hiro speak in a deep tone that didn't make him flinch one bit, "If you sleep with my nephew, they will find your body pieces in the river." He watched the man in front of him as he saw a flinch of disgust in those golden orbs. He wanted to shake his head.
His thoughts were interrupted as Hiro turned to him and spoke, "Kirishima, this will be Akihito's new bodyguard, Asami Ryuichi." He looked back at the man, knowing he was going to fall into Akihito's seduction. Everyone fail. Everyone couldn't pass up the young body and the mind of someone who was young but old at the same time. He bowed his head toward the man. Before he could say a word, he was dismissed by Hiro. He didn't say anything but walked out the door. He took a deep breath walking down the hall.
Before he got into his office, a hand grabbed his shoulder. In seconds, he turned around slamming the man into the wall, staring straight into Itou's shocked eyes. He spoke calmly, "I do not know what game you are playing, Itou, but it better stop." Itou looked at him confused for a second before replying with heat in his voice, "What the hell are you talking about?" It was the last straw for him. He didn't forget his wife's expression this morning or the night before. He wanted to hurt everyone who decided to harm her. He pulled out his gun, holding it right to Itou's head as he growled, "Do not go near or call my wife again."
"Enough, Kirishima." A strong voice echoed within the hallway. He turned his head to look at the young man who truly held power. He always fell to his feet for this young man standing before him. It wasn't love. It was darkness and madness. He failed to save Akio. He failed to stop the darkness from engulfing Akihito. Now, it was like a star he was trying to grab. Akihito stepped forward, ordering, "Let him go now and get back to your job." He couldn't stop from following the order. He let Itou go and went into his office without an argument. He put his gun away as he tried to calm down his rage.
The door opened and he was not surprised to see Akihito standing there, looking at him coldly and emotionless. He sighed, "Do not butt into my business, Takaba." Akihito slammed his hand against the wall as the man sneered, "Watch your tone with me, Kirishima." Before another word could be said, his true master left the room. Itou stood in front of his door staring shock at him and his words. He went to his desk with Itou saying words that made ice run through his veins, "Never show emotion within our world. You never know who will use it against you."
