Takes place after Kawamura's match with Gin. I forgot to mention that it takes place in an infirmary.


Akutsu/Kawamura - Infirmary

"Why did you do that?" Kawamura shifted his slung arm for comfort and waited for Akutsu's answer.

"I wasn't going to let you break your head open. If you were going to die, it wasn't going to be that fucking easy." Akutsu took a long drag on his cigarette and blew it to the side.

"You've threatened to break my head open yourself plenty of times." Kawamura smiled faintly with amusement. "Why not just let it happen?"

Akutsu didn't answer because he didn't have a logical explanation. Kawamura smiled wider because he suspected what it was.
