Takaba found that he couldn't go to sleep no matter how hard he tried; he went from thinking over everything that had recently happened to thinking of nothing whatsoever
At the same time, causing him to be highly irritated.
He also felt the strong urge to draw and work on his story, but every time he tried to draw his characters, other characters would replace them. Characters he was familiar with, but at the same time couldn't place who they were. On top of all this he found himself continually looking at his cell phone as though he was actually expecting a call from someone, or to be more specific since Takaba would never admit this out loud, he was waiting for Asami to call him. He wasn't certain if it was just that he wanted to hear the other's voice or what the reason was for it, but Takaba felt that right then and there that a call from Asami would've been rather soothing, or if anything take his mind off of the few things that he had to currently worry about.
Yan was something that Takaba was trying his hardest to keep his mind off of, the man caused him to feel chills and he knew that if said person got his hands on him, things would probably not go that well for him. Takaba wasn't even certain that what Mikhail had told Yan even convinced the man that they were related. Feilong had assured him that there wouldn't be much to worry about as long as he keep his mouth shut and didn't say much, but Takaba wasn't that assured by these words for despite the life style that he has lived, Takaba has a knack for sensing danger and it was coming off of that man in waves, more so then what was coming from Asami.
Takaba shut his eyes with a sigh as he tried to direct his thoughts in a different direction, namely in the direction of his story, for he knew that if he could focus most of his thoughts on his manga then he'd at least create what would hopefully be a big enough of a distraction that he might actually be able to fall asleep, or at least make it so that he could work on it so that he wouldn't be so bored just laying around in the bed, since he knew that there were still quite a few hours before the sun would decide to show his face.
Kirishima had checked everything over with Asami twice, just to be certain that they'd be ready for when the plan landed, there wasn't that much certainty as to how fair Asami would manage to get when it came to negotiating with Yan, but Kirishima was ready with all the information that the Chinese would want to know. The plan was already more then halfway to Hong Kong and Asami was till only half awake. His eyes half lidded as his mind traveled over exactly how he was going to handle the situation, he knew that Yan would easily take the bait, the place was a rather good spot to take, not good enough for Asami, but good enough for Yan who was only just starting his expansion in Japan.
Asami became fully awake when the loud speakers blared that the plane was getting ready to land and that it passengers should stay in their seats. Asami put out his cigarette at this time and adjusted his suite before standing once the plane came to a halt. Glancing back at Kirishima he watched as the other gave a nod of his head before handing him the tightly sealed thick white envelope.
Asami took his time coming out of the plane and wasn't that surprised to see that Yan was already there waiting with at least three other men, Feilong was standing on the side lines away from his brother, seeming amused about something that Asami would only be able to guess about. Kirishima stayed back near the plane in case Yan wasn't in much of a good mood to be courting Asami and it turned out that they'd be having to turn back around for the time being and leave. Kirishima found that it was mentally easier to walk forward then it was to have to turn around and go back the other way. Asami always made situations like this easier for him to accepted by always bowing lowly when he wasn't invited before making his appearance, the man might've had pride, but Asami always knew at which moments he should drop that pride and act low. Yan seemed pleased with his action because he did the same, gesturing that he didn't mind the other's presence.
"And what would bring the great Asami to visit me again so suddenly?" Yan asked once the two of them were standing again.
"For two reasons." Asami replied as he pulled the envelope out of his pocket and gave it to Yan. "I was hoping you'd be interested in taking a look at this area, it's only a small portion on land but the placement of it is rather good. Secondly I came because Feilong forgot to close a certain part of our deal so I wasn't able to go on with it in the time that was planned."
"I deeply apologize for making such a mistake." Feilong replied, giving Asami a low bow, though he mainly did this to hide the smirk that was trying to make itself known on his face. He wasn't exactly that certain as to how Asami would react to what he did to the mangaka or if he would even be able to recognize him without anything being mentioned beforehand.
"So how long exactly are you planning on staying here for then?" Yan then asked as they headed back towards the inside of the building with Kirishima following a few steps behind them.
"I don't expect that all of this should take more then three days at most, if it takes longer then I have no problem with paying for my stay here."
"I have no problem accommodating a friend as long as you don't mind the living standards of Hong Kong."
"I don't think that there will be much of anything for me to complain about." Asami replied, hardly paying any attention to the man that was talking with him.
"I do hope that you found our earlier deal to be pleasing to do?" Yan questioned as they entered the building, catching Asami's attention for the first time in minutes.
"It was better then I had expected it to, though there wasn't much of a reason for you to have been so generous, it is fine to cut deals lower seeing as we are such close friends." Asami didn't miss the small drop that happened in Yan's face when he said this, the man could try all he wanted but Asami knew exactly what it was that he was trying to get at.
"I take it then that with the deals that we've been making that things are going rather well here?" Asami then asked as he took in everything that they were passing by in the halls, noting how much things had changed since the last time he had been to this place two years ago with his last business deal.
"Things are going fairly well, the people aren't complaining that much right now, so there don't seem to be any problems that are showing on the surface, underneath though I am worried that someone might be thinking about starting a rebellion, I have at least heard rumors about it being passed around every now and again. Though I don't believe that even if there is one that it should be much of a threat at this current point in time, if anything the problems caused by it would be very small."
"Help can always be provided on my side with no cost necessary." Asami offered causing Yan to smirk lightly.
"You have always been over generous when it comes to situations like this, that is the reason why I respect you so much." Asami knew better then to be pleased by the man's empty compliments because he knew that they were being said to do nothing more then to put him at ease so he wouldn't suspect what the other was going to do next.
"I hope that I am not being rude as to inquire about where my room will be?" Asami inquired catching Yan slightly off guard by it. "I feel rather tired after my trip here and would like to rest some before getting down to serious business." Asami explained as Yan nodded his head.
"No problems at all, rest as much as you need and I will be pleased to see your presence again later." Yan replied as he snapped his fingers at one of his men who took his position in front of Asami in order to lead him in the direction of his room.
Asami had no honest intentions of resting; he was hoping that Feilong would take this as a signal that he wanted to speak with the other. Asami had planned on wasting no time when it came to finding out where exactly Takaba was at, because he knew that the longer he stayed there, more problems could arise.
Takaba almost froze the moment that he saw Asami being escorted through the halls and directly past him, Mikhail was standing right in front of him so Asami wasn't able to look directly at him, but Takaba was more then certain that even if Asami were to stare at him straight on that he'd be recognized with the way that he currently looked.
"Well it would seem as though someone wasted no time in getting him here." Mikhail commented once Asami was out of hearing range. Takaba nodded his head in agreement, he hadn't excepted Asami to come so soon.
