Feilong had untied Takaba so that he was able to stand on his own, Feilong had even made his change the clothes he was wearing into something with slightly longer sleeves to hide the injuries he had. The boy was still very shaky and wary of being near Feilong, but he didn't attempt to runaway from the other because he knew that even if he did try he wouldn't be able to get that far.
"Continue to behave yourself like you are now and I'll allow for you to remain unbound while I drive us to your destination." Takaba didn't say anything as he stared at Feilong's back while the other started walking away.
There were still so many questions that Takaba wanted answers to, but at the same time he didn't want to ask his questions because he was certain that the answers he would be given would hurt him more then he already was.
Takaba obediently followed Feilong to the car that was parked right outside of the warehouse, Feilong opened the passenger for him and he got in without hesitating.
The drive was a silent one that Takaba was thankful for, Feilong was completely ignoring him and that meant that he could decompress some. His body and head still hurt like hell but he was able to think more clearly now that he was outside of the warehouse.
Takaba unconsciously rubbed his sore wrists, Feilong had tied them rather tight, but due to the fact that he hadn't moved around a lot the ropes had only succeed in making his wrists raw.
Glancing over at Feilong, Takaba noticed the very intense look on his face, that look was something that Takaba hardly ever saw on the other's face unless something was really bothering him.
Of course these thoughts made Takaba think back to the picture that he saw in Feilong's room, the one that had Asami in it. Takaba could only guess by the way that the picture looked that it had been taken a few years ago, definitely one that was taken before Takaba had come along. Takaba guessed that something major must've happened between Feilong and Asami, but what was the question, and if something did happen between them then why did Feilong still have the picture of Asami?
Takaba flinched slightly when the car came to a sudden halt, Feilong shut the vehicle's engine off but didn't make any move to get out of the car, he just sat there with his hands still on the steering wheel. Takaba didn't dare to move or speak while Feilong sat like that, afraid that he might upset the other if he tried to say anything.
After a few moments of just sitting there, without saying a word Feilong unbuckled himself and got ready to get out of the car, Takaba continued to sit and watch as the other did this.
"Why are you doing this?" Takaba finally asked once Feilong was out of the car and had just opened up his door. Feilong stared at Takaba for a few seconds after his asked this question, the look in Feilong's eyes made Takaba want to sink away from the other.
"Because I want to make him hurt in the same way I did." Feilong replied, unbuckling Takaba and forcing the other out of the car and almost causing him to trip as he was forced into start walking at a brisk pace his feet had a hard time keeping up with.
When they finally did stop walking and Takaba had a chance to look around he noticed that they were standing outside of what appeared to be a rather small and old looking restaurant. Takaba wasn't allowed to look at the outside of the building before Feilong started leading him inside.
The moment that they were inside of the building and Takaba spotted Asami sitting at a table smoking he immediately wanted to bolt, afraid of what would happen to him once he was at the mercy of the other. Feilong had been more then a little rough to him even though he hadn't done anything to the other so how much worse would Asami be since he had not only broken one but two of the rules that the other had set for him. Takaba knew he couldn't run though because of the firm and tight hold that Feilong had on his arm. It was even worse for Takaba as they approached the table and Asami looked up at them, at the point Takaba didn't feel as though he was going to be able to breath due to the way that the other looked at him.
Takaba was careful in taking his seat when Feilong pulled the chair out from him, making him sit directly across from Asami who's full attention was now on him.
"It's nice to see that you could make it." Feilong commented causing Takaba to glance over at him.
"I could've made it here yesterday without any problems, but you're the one who wanted to set the date for today." Asami replied, putting out his cigarette so he wouldn't bother the boy with the smell of it.
"I suppose that we should get ready to order something before we start seriously talking." Feilong commented looking over Takaba who was staring down at his lap, not wanting to meet either person's eyes.
"Very well." Asami agreed when a waiter approached their table, everything on the menu's were written in Chinese so Takaba couldn't read it, though he didn't really want to eat anything in the first place so he just said that he'd be fine with anything that was ordered for him.
"As you can tell they don't speak Japanese here so we don't have to worry about anyone overhearing us." Feilong told Asami after finishing ordering for the three of them.
Asami acknowledged what Feilong told him but his full attention was once again on Takaba who wasn't looking all that comfortable with this current position.
Asami took quick note of the fact that the clothes that Takaba were wearing were a bit large for him and that more then likely meant that the other was hiding injuries. Injuries that had been giving to him by Feilong, just the though of what the other had done to the boy caused anger to swelling up inside of Asami, but he made sure to keep his face passive so he didn't scare the boy anymore then he already was. Asami's eyes went away from Takaba and back to Feilong who was sipping his wine while waiting for the food to be brought over.
The real talking didn't start until after the waiter had brought over their food and had left again. Asami and Feilong had no problem eating their food but Takaba on the other hand could do nothing more then pick at it as he glanced between the two, still not all that certain was to what his exact fate was going to be.
"It's been at least six years since we last saw each other like this." Feilong commented, noticing that Asami didn't even look at him when he said this.
"It doesn't even feel as though that much time has gone by already." Asami replied.
"I suppose it wouldn't feel like that much time has passed by for someone who's been living well this entire time." Asami knew from past experience that Feilong's comment was said in order to get a certain reaction from him, so Asami did what he did best in these kind of situations and didn't react at all, but rather changed the course of the conversation.
"I didn't come here to reminisce about the past with you, I cam here to make deal and get things done with." Asami told the other setting his chopsticks down and turning his full attention back onto to Feilong who didn't seem all that pleased with his curt business attitude.
Takaba had to refrain from whining when he felt the tension; he never dealt with high-tension situation all that well. Knowing that Feilong and Asami knew each other didn't help to make things better for Takaba, in fact it made them much worse, because it was like dealing with the same devil, just as a different person.
"Always straight to the point." Feilong sighed as he also put his chopsticks down. "But I do suppose that we need to get talking about business before this one becomes even more nervous then he already is." Takaba was indeed starting to act more nervous then he had been a few moments ago.
To Takaba Feilong and Asami talking just meant that it got that much closer to him being put back in Asami's hands, and if not his then Takaba was certain that Feilong would find someone else to send him to. To Takaba, even though he really didn't want to end up back with Asami, it was better to end up with him because he kinda knew what he was dealing with rather then being sold to someone else he didn't know anything about.
"You said that there was a certain price that you wanted to name?" Asami questioned, looking away from Takaba who still wouldn't look him directly in the eyes and back to Feilong who was looking expectantly at him.
"I thought I already told you over the phone what the price I wanted was." Feilong replied, watching Asami's expression, Feilong was honestly amused by the fact that Asami was managing to go so long without smoking considering the situation they were in and the only reason he could guess why the other was doing this was because of Takaba. This thought did irritate Feilong to more then a slight degree, to know that Asami actually seemed to care about someone.
"I was just double checking because you seemed rather hesitant when you responded over the phone. Are you certain though that you'll be able to handle such a large sum on your own?" Feilong immediately took Asami's words to be condescending towards him; he allowed his eyes to narrow in a challenging way.
"Of course I can handle it, after all I've been on my own long enough to know the value of such a large sum of money." Asami seem pleased with the other's response because he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and quickly dialed a number. Without removing himself from the table Asami gave his orders through the phone before shutting it and putting it back in his pocket.
Mere seconds passed after Asami had placed the cell phone into his pocket when a burly blond bodyguard came into the restaurant carrying a suitcase followed by Kirishima who Takaba recognized right away.
"The amount that you specified is right in here, you can double check it just to be safe." Asami told Feilong who motioned for the guard to place the suitcase on the table. Standing up Feilong opened the suitcase and looked at the money that was piled inside, Takaba was completely taken aback by the large stacks of money for he had never seen such a large amount of money at one time before.
"I see that I haven't been cheated out of what I asked for. You can take the boy back now." Takaba didn't move from the table even though he was certain that was Feilong's way of telling him to go over to Asami who was now standing. So instead Feilong had to haul Takaba into a standing position by his arm, Asami didn't miss the way that Takaba winced when Feilong did this to him. "Go on." Feilong told Takaba as he gave the other a slight push in the direction of Asami, Takaba took two steps towards the other before stopping. The hesitation evident in his eyes as he looked at Asami, not really wanting to have to back to being with other.
"Kirishima, take Takaba out to the limousine and wait for me there." Kirishima gave a small bow before approaching Takaba, who took a step back from him.
"You have to come with Takaba." Kirishima told the boy who didn't attempt to resist when Kirishima gentle grabbed his arm, making sure not to hurt the other, as he got ready to lead him outside.
Takaba froze mid step when Asami suddenly pulled a gun out and pointed it directly at Feilong who was managing to keep himself rather calm and composed. Asami had been the only who noticed the slight flash of steel in Feilong's hand.
"Kirishima, take him out of here." Kirishima didn't say anything, as he practically had to drag Takaba out of the room, the other was much too stunned to move on his own.
"Good vision as always." Feilong commented, moving his hands away from his shirt and into Asami's line of sight, letting him know that there was no reason to shoot.
"You should know better then to try such things while I'm around." Asami replied, he cocked his gun but Feilong knew that he didn't have to worry about Asami shoot, not unless he did something stupid that was.
"I'm honestly surprised that you're talking such a large interest in this boy, does it have something to do with the fact that he's so similar to me?" Feilong questioned, cocking his head to the side, rather pleased when he got a slight reaction from Asami.
"Your circumstances might have been very similar, but apart from that the two of you are completely different." Asami replied, "Which is why I suggest that you keep yourself away from him. I wouldn't refrain from hurting you if you even think about coming near him again." the warning was clearing Asami's eyes and Feilong knew better then to doubt the other's words.
"Very well, I'll agree not to touch him as long as you do a good job of keeping an eye on him." Feilong replied, watching as Asami lowered his gun and returned it to his breast pocket on his suit. Asami motioned for Souh to follow him as he got ready to leave, not even looking back at Feilong once even though he knew the Chinese man was staring at his back the entire time he left. "I do hope that you take my warning seriously."
