Rather creepy chapter that might get on your nerves.


"Tetsu-san, can I ask you something?" Shingo asked as the two guards watched how their client raced through the track, obviously once again completely forgotten about his promise to be careful as he pulled the side of his bike forward before pushing it back again right before he landed.

"Only if you drop the suffix" Tetsu said and Shingo looked guilty, still not used to addressing his fellow guard so friendly. It was not out of rank, but merely out of respect, even when Tetsu didn't think he deserved it.

"Sorry. But it's about Ta- Asami-sama. I know that it's rather late fo me to bring this up, but remember when he reacted so violently when he was reading that letter after he and Asami-sama came back from their honeymoon?" Shingo asked and Tetsu gave a nod as his eyebrows drew together. That incident hadn't left his mind since it happened not too long ago.

"Asami-sama said that it was a letter from his grandmother, right? But aren't… haven't they passed away already?" Shingo asked, correcting himself so he could ask it in a bit more of a respectful way. His words however, brought Tetsu up short, his eyes widening slightly.

"That… You're right. They both passed away when Asami-sama was in high school. His grandfather three months after his grandmother" Tetsu said, remembering the information Asami had given him before he had first met the photographer.

"Then, who was that letter from?" Shingo asked and Tetsu frowned.

"We are not allowed to question that, Shingo" Tetsu said and Shingo looked at him. His words said one thing, but after being partenrs for a while, Shingo could clearly see how the raven's normally stoic face was currently nothing but worried lines.

"But it still feels wrong" the brunet said and Tetsu couldn't agree more.

"You're right. We'll inform Asami-sama as soon as possible" he said and Shingo gave a nod, bringing his attention back to where Akihito was riding. Well, riding... Shingo saw the moment when the blonde's rear-tire slipped, causing the blonde to wipe out pretty badly. Both guards froze on the spot, taking a step forward even before the blonde had stopped rolling across the dirt. It felt as if their heart would stop when the blonde used his last roll to jump up to his feet, stumbling slightly with his arms spread next to him for balance.

Both guards felt like staggering as two thumbs went up in the air and Akihito looked back in their direction. Judging by how his shoulder shook and how he bended backwards, the blonde was obviously laughing his ass off, joined by the riders around him, some who had been recoding the thing because they were having a mock race.

"I thought my heart was going to stop" Shingo said weakly and Tetsu swallowed, feeling as if he had lost a couple of years off his life.

"No kidding" he agreed as they watched Akihito pick up his bike again before continuing riding.

"I wish he would learn from his fall and be a little more careful" Tetsu said as they watched the blonde continue taking jumps like before.

"I don't think that will happen. Besides, he really knows what he's doing. The reason he's taking jumps like that is because he's taking it easy on the other riders, who are not on his level" Shingo said and Tetsu looked at his partner before looking back at the blonde on the track.

"Doesn't make our job any easier, though" he said and Shingo snorted. They remained on the sidelines until Akihito decided he had enough, leaving the track waving off the grateful bows of the younger riders. "Are you hurt, Asami-sama?" Tetsu asked immediately as Akihito calmly drove up to them, stopping next to them.

"Nope. I'm serious, I'm surprised too. When I was going down, I totally expected to at least get a bruise something. I guess that falling in martial arts is helpful for the dirt too" Akihito said and the two guards relaxed slightly at the sight of their old client. Coming to the track really had done him good as there seemed to be more colour on his cheeks and less tension in his shoulders. His eyes had regained some of their glint while the furrow in his brow had smoothed out. That was probably the only reason why Tetsu didn't scold the blonde for his reckless driving, instead loading the bike up the trailer before stepping in the car.

"Somewhere you wish to go, Asami-sama?" Shingo asked as he started the engine.

"Ah, that pastry shop we went to last. Since I wiped out on a freaking corner, I deserve some comfort in the form of cake" Akihito said and the two guards shared a knowing look. It was already practically tradition that they went to that cake-shop whenever something happened. Whether it was something big, something small or something not all that good, Akihito just adored that shop and took every excuse he could to go there. The guards didn't understand how the blonde didn't even gain a single gram of fat, no matter what he ate.

They also vaguely wondered when the blonde would realize that the shop stood on his name, but they weren't going to mention that. In this case, it might not even warrant a tantrum, but binge eating instead. If that happened, Akihito wouldn't put on in muscle but in weight, no doubt. They all knew how much Akihito could put away, to the point they sometimes questioned whether or ot the blonde had a second stomach. The car stopped in front of the pastry shop before the body-guard duo followed the blonde inside. As they stood in line, Akihito looked at the advertised pastries with asparkle in his eyes.

"Hmm, what should I take?" the photographer questioned in a sing-song voice. However, even though he said that, he seemed to know exatly what he wanted when it was his turn.

"I'll take one mini strawberry and cream pie, one dark chocolate and caramel roll, one cream-puff swan. Oh, and the eclairs are looking good, so I'll take one of the regular ones and one double. And then another cherry pinwheel, a blackberry turn-over and a rhubarb custard tart. If that's okay with you guys" Akihito said, turning back to look over his shoulder at his two guards.

"For us too?" Shingo asked as the two guards looked on in suspicion when the colour drained from their client's face, his eyes widening as he stared past them.

"Y-yeah! Of course, you can't have tea time without pastries" Akihito said as he turned back to the front, pretending as if nothing happened. Yet it did and Tetsu looked subtly over his shoulder while Shingo distracted Akihito.

"Tea-time, sir?" he inquired and Akihito gave a nod.

"Yeah, I wanted to ask you two to teach me English. I feel like, since I'm his husband, I need to know at least a bit more than just lyrics of songs, right? No doubt, he plans to take me with him every time he has business abroad, so it would be better if I could at least hold a basic conversation" Akihito said and Shingo smiled.

"That is a fantastic idea, sir. We'll gladly help you with other languages too, since we have to have knowledge of at least three different languages" he said and Tetsu turned back to the front, just on time to accept the box of pastries. It wasn't like Akihito was unable to speak English, but the only things he knew were words from songs, which most of the time he didn't even know what he or they were actually saying. His years of sitting stoned in English class had not helped his language knowledge to develop.

Akihito was obviously eager to return to the penthouse, practically jumping into the back of the car and locking the doors before Tetsu and Shingo sat down. Shingo looked at his partner, who shook his head, indicating that he hadn't really seen anything that could warrant that kind of reaction from their client. When they enter the penthouse, Akihito seemed to relax a bit, yet was still distracted, spacing out and stratling whenever they called for his attention.

"Is everything okay, Asami-sama?" Shingo asked worried as the blonde startled for the seventh time since they had sat down with tea and their pastries.

"Hmm? I'm fine, Shingo! I was just wondering if Ryuichi would mind if I were to put up some pictures on the wall" Akihito said and Tetsu took the excuse.

"I will ask him" he said and dug out his phone. He was curious when Akihito didn't stop him, but still send the message.

Sir, Asami-sama is inquiring if you would mind if he were to decorate the wall of the dining room with pictures.

Tell him that he is free to do whatever he wants and to use the card.

Also, pardon my forwardness, but Asami-sama is acting strange.

Strange how so?

The day you returned from Austria, Asami-sama was opening the congratulations cards on his own until he read a certain letter. He looked rather scared and when I called out to him, he reacted by jumping and acting as if I was something he didn't know. Since he told us it was merely a letter from his grandparents, we left it at that and allowed Asami-sama to retreat to his room. However, today, Shingo pointed out that Asami-sama's grand-parents have already passed away.

At the cake-shop Asami-sama owns, there was an instance where Asami-sama seemed to react badly to something out on the street. He turned pale and tense to the point it was fear. When I looked, I could see nothing that would warrant such a reaction. I didn't take a closer look, since it would have meant leaving Asami-sama's side.

We are currently sitting in the dining-room of the penthouse, but although he seems to feel safer, Asami-sama remains jumpy and on edge.

So you have noticed it too.

Have there been instances like this before?

Not as grand as his current behaviour, but for a while, before the Ouchi incident, Asami-sama was rather jumpy when I called out to him on occasions.

Also, I didn't know what to make of it at the current time, but one of the guards, Ichurou Rai, told me he saw a crying Asami-sama walking through the streets with a box in hand. Because he was drunk, he said he wasn't too sure.

Any idea of what it could be?

Not in this moment, sir.

I apologize for my incompetence.

Keep an eye open and find out what it is. I'm done with waiting for him to talk about it himself.

Understood.

"Asami has granted permission to decorate the rooms as you wish, Asami-sama, though I had to reming you of the card in your wallet" Tetsu said as he put away his phone in his pocket. Akihito looked confused until he remembered what he had asked, giving a small smile and a nod.

-xXx_Oya, Oya, Oya_xXx-

It was cold on the rooftop, the wind blowing unforgiving. Still one person was sitting rather comfortable against the wall of the entrance to the rooftop, carefully out of the wind. A giggle left her as she looked at the screen of her smartphone in between her hands, her toes tapping gleefully on the ground underneath her.

"He's so amazing! I can't believe it!" she giggled and squealed when she saw two thumbs go up in the air. She could imagine the gleeful grin underneath the helmet of the rider on her screen. Even though he had just crashed his bike, he still looked as fantastic as ever. Though she really did think he needed to be more careful. When she was with him, he wouldn't be that reckless.

What if his fair skin ever got bruised? That was inexcusable! Not a single scratch should be allowed on such a perfect being! Did he not know how careful he had to be?! Did he want her to worry so much she thought she was going crazy?! Did he want her to tie him to a bed so he could not be any more reckless?!

"Ah, I can't" she said as she noticed her arm up in the air, positioned to smash her phone to smithers on the rooftop. To even think of breaking the phone that was playing a video of him was a sin.

"One more time" she said and moved her phone back down, only to see the time.

"He should be asleep right now. And that man shouldn't be home for another four hours" she counted and stood up from where she sat, locking her phone befor putting it away in her pocket. Hooking her harness to the ropes tied to the helicopter platform, she lowered herself from the side of the building. Her heart was beating in her ears as she slowly made her way to the balcony, where she released herself from the rope, moving it to the side, out of view before tying it to the railing. Feeling giddy, she opened the balcony door leading to the inside of the house which she knew to be unlocked.

Knowing the lay-out of the house by heart, she made her way to the main bedroom as silent as she could. It was finally here. The time had finally arrived, where she would meet her angel. Her one and only true love. Her prince. Her world. There were not enough words in the world in this world to describe what he was to her. Nothing was good enough to describe the perfection resting on the large bed, the covers barely covering the man's hips. Tip-toeing her way over to the side of the bed, she couldn't stop the smile from spreading on her lips.

"Akihito-sama. My dear sweet Akihito-sama" she whispered as she got on her knees next to the bed. Carefully she took a little pill out of the box in her pocket and carefully placed it between his lips, shivering as the pads of her fingers touched the silkiness of his lips. She crossed her arms on the mattress next to the man's hips resting her cheek on it as she waited for the pill to take effect, staring lovingly at the one destined to be her partner. Her lover written in the stars, connected by their very souls. The man was pure perfection and nothing less. Milky, fair skin stretched over lean muscled, showing off how nicely toned he was. A detailed collarbone and hipbones, showing the fragility of what made her all him an angel.

Blonde hair framed a pale, childlike face, the silky soft strands practically tickling the top of his shoulders. Those breath-taking eyes that shone with love, that would soon be directed only at her, where his attention should be. Takaba Akihito was perfection, the embodiment of pureness that was only seen in angels. And he was hers and hers alone. God had meant it that way when they were born. There was no other for either of them. There could be no other. She was his and he was hers. The knowledge that she was close enough to her love for her to be able to smell his apple scented shampoo, made her stomach flutter exited as she cut back a giggle. He shifted her knees, rubbing her thighs together as she noticed how exited she was.

She couldn't really be blamed. Her love was in front of her, sleeping and showing her his vulnerable side. How could she not react? Biting on her lip, she reached a hand down between her legs, rubbing her core through the fabric of her black leggings. Maybe she should give him a bit of a taste? After all, there was no way he wasn't hungering for her when she was this close. He could feel her precense, she was sure. There was no way he wasn't aware of her.

Besides, her dear sweet Akihito-sama could only take so much of that monster. Sharing the same bed, what a nightmare it must be for him. Longing for her while knowing that that man was next to him. She would need to do something before her angel died of heart-break and longing for her. Standing up, she removed her leggings, her black sweather and her underwear, leaving only her hat and tube scarf on where it still covered her face. Carefully laying down next to the unmoving blonde, she couldn't stop her giggle as she felt his hot skin against her.

"It's okay, my love. I will erase his presence from this bed and replace it with my own, even if it is only for tonight" she whispered as she brought her hand downbetween her legs, stroking her core without any obstruction of clothing. Her eyes were glued to her lover's face, biting on her lip to muffle her sounds as she pleasured herself. She was here, next to her the love of her life. She was laying in the same bed, looking at him, breathing in the same air, feeling his supple skin give her warmth, as if he knew she was there. If only they weren't laying in that man's bed. If only they weren't in that man's house.

But soon, real soon, she would take her lover away. She would save him from that man's clutches and make it so they could never be found again. And if that man dared to come after her, she would kill him. Would she use poison or weapons? Maybe she should use Akihito-sama? Together, they would hurt the man who had kept them apart. They would make him bleed and beg for mercy.

They would make him realize that they were meant to be together and that he had sinner by trying to keep the apart. They would push the knife into his chest and into his heart, giving him mercy because her Akihito-sama was just that kind-hearted. But above all, they would do it together. Together, they would end the life of suppression and unhappiness. And together, they would get rid of the thing standing in their way of happiness.

"Ahaha, I can't wait" she giggled as she brought her hand up from between her legs, her body still giving light jerks.

"Ah, I should take a shower before he comes home and sees us. We can't have him noticing us now" she said and carefully crawled over her lover. She picked up her clothing and silently moved to the bathroom where she took a quick shower and brushed her teeth with her angel's toothbrush. Under her clothes, she wore one of her Akihito-sama's underwear and shirts, revelling in the way it still smelled like him without being washed. She made her way back to the master bedroom where she crouched down next to the blonde, once again staring at him. She was unable to comprehend how someone could be perfect.

"Soon, my love. Very soon, I will come for you and I will take you with me. Just like a fairy tale, isn't it?" she giggled and blinked as she noticed him stirring in his sleep.

"Ah, the drugs should be worked out soon" she said and reached in her pocket to give him another dose, returning him to a very deep sleep.

"It's our first date, isn't it?" she asked sosft and giggled again as she rested her cheek on his chest, deciding to cuddle up to her lover despite the fact that she was dressed.

"You must be having fun, right? I know I am. A little longer and we will be alone. It will be just us, you and me, somewhere where we can't be found" she said and leaned closer to her lover's chest.

"Soon, my angel. I will take you away and then we can start our life. Then we can officially be together without having to sneak around" she said and placed a kiss-mark on top of her lover's heart before laying back down. She would stay by his side for as long as she could, giving the support he needed to get through the final days with that monster. The hardest days for him after getting a teste of what it woul be like with her, but they would get through it together. She just knew it.

-xXx_Oya, Oya, Oya_xXx-

Akihito slammed the door open, his eyes zeroing in on the startled man behind his desk.

"Asami-sama?" Kirishima said confused as Akihito walked up to his desk, his face pale and eyes frantic.

"Kirishima, bring up the security footage of the penthouse from last night" Akihito demanded and Kirishima frowned as he looked at Shingo and Tetsu behind the blonde.

"Why would-"

"Just do it, please!" Akihito said, his desperation clear in his voice. Kirishima frowned but did as told, typing in the long security code to the CCTV footage of the penthouse.

"Last night, you said, right?" Kirishima asked and Akihito nodded as he moved around the desk to get a good view on the computer screen. Both Shingo and Tetsu joined the blonde, through one step behind both Kirishima and Akihito. Four pairs of eyes watched in horror as they saw someone entering the penthouse and the master bedroom. Akihito was unable to watch the rest of the footage as he rushed to the trashbin next to the desk to dry-heave in, his stomach empty since he had woken. Shingo crouched down next to the blonde, rubbing the photographer's back soothingly. Kirishima picked up his phone, his eyes still glued to the screen. Asami didn't even have the chance to greet his assistant as Kirishima cut him off.

"Asami-sama, my office" he said and blinked once.

"Please" he tacked after it before slamming down the horn.

"I'll get Suoh-san" Tetsu said as Shingo helped Akihito to the couch that was in front of the bespectacled mob's desk. Akihito's hands trembled as he reached into the pocket of his jacket, taking out the pack of dunhill menthol he should have thrown away. Shingo and Kirishima blinked but said nothing as Akihito lit up the stick beteen his lips, taking a deep drag.

"Asami-sama" Shingo said as he accepted the glass of water Kirishima handed him for the petrified blonde. Tetsu returned with Suoh first, the bulky blonde frowning at the younger blonde who was resting his head in his hand, both elbows on his spread knees while a cigarette was dangling loosely between his fingers, threatening to fall onto the carpet. Asami joined them before Suoh could even ask anything.

"It's a first for you to talk to me this way, Kirishima. This better be good" Asami said, his eyes immediately falling on his husband, frowing as he took notice of the blonde's white complexion and the cigarette in his hand. The smell was one he recognized and he wondered why Akihito hadn't gotten rid of that pack.

"It's not good, sir" Kirishima said and he looked at his boss, silently signalling him over to the desk to show the footage. Both Suoh and Asami stared at the screen, their expressions changing with every second that passed. Akihito jumped up out of the catatonic state he had been slipping into when a gunshot rang out, the bullet having cleanly penetrated Kirishima's poor computerscreen. None of the mobs had actually been surprised when the crime-lord had whipped out his gun.

"R-ryuichi" Akihito said shaky and Asami directed his gaze to his husband, the murderous look in his eyes disappearing almost completely as he laid his gun on the desk before making his way over to the blonde. He fell to his knees in front of the younger man, immediately pulling him down in a hug.

"It's okay. It's okay, Akihito. I'm here. I won't let anyone touch you ever again" Asami promised as he rested his head against his husband's. His words caused Akihito to break, a scream breaking past his lips as he clung to the crime-lord's blazer. Tetsu closed his eyes as Shingo looked down on the ground, both a furrow between their brow while Kirishia and Suoh were already bend over the CCTV footage. For a long while, the only sound heard in the office were Akihito's cries, barely muffled by Asami's shoulder. When the blonde had finally calmed down enough, Asami sat down in the sofa, pulling the blonde in his lap, his grip tight.

"Kirishima" he said, his voice even tighter than his grip on his husband who was trembling in his arms, not once making even a move of resisiting the raven's constricting hold.

"The person in question is definitely female, however we have no footage of her face. She has been in the penthouse for a total of three hours and seventeen minutes, fourteen minutes of those spend in the bathroom where she took a shower and stole Asami-sama's unwashed clothes to wear herself. Her face was covered by a towel and the camera is not pointed at the shower stall" Kirishima said and Akihito tightened his grip on Asami's blazer as he listened.

"She appears to have given Asami-sama two pills of unknown nature. Most likely to prevent him from waking up as she…" Kirishima trailed off as he noticed the look in his boss's eyes darken, daring him to say it.

"Asami-sama" Tetsu spoke up as he opened his eyes, gaining the attention as he took the gun ut of the holster against his ribs, presenting it to the crime-lord. A very pissed crime-lord that should not be given a gun at this moment. Asami looked up from the weapon to where the duo of team Takaba stood bowed at the waist.

"We have not only dissapointed you, but also allowed to bring Asami-sama in danger" Shingo said and Tetsu followed up.

"We will take responsibility for this with our lives" he said and Akihito stared at them, his eyes wide.

"No!" he yelled, his throat already raw as he stepped in between Asami and his two subordinates, losing his strength as he sank to his knees.

"This is not your fault, Tetsu! Neither is it Shingo's! This is my fault and mine only!" he said and Asami frowned at him.

"What do you mean, Akihito?" he asked and Akihito brought his hands up to rub his wet eyes.

"That woman, she… she's been stalking me even before the Sion lock-down. Writing me letters and shit. She was the one who told me that the lock-down was going to happen and that's why I came here that day" he said and sobbed again, hating himself for being so weak, but hating himself even more for allowing it to come this far. For allowing Tetsu and Shingo to feel responsible for his mistakes to the point they would sacrifice their own lives.

"A-at first, I thought it was nothing! A lame joke by my friends or something. B-but as the letters continued, I started finding it weird and I didn't want to have anything to do with it" he said and pushed his palms into his eyes to attempt to push back the tears. Did he really have to make such a pathetic display?

"B-but then the lock-down happened and the dead rabbit" he said and Asami laid a hand on his shoulder.

"Hold up, dead rabbit?" he inquired and Akihito gave a nod.

"After the lock-down, I got a letter where she was angry for me putting myself in danger and then she wanted to apologize for it, thus send me a dead white baby rabbit. I don't know if it was dead to begin with, but it was certainly dead when it arrived" he said and Asami hoisted the blonde onto the couch next to him, offering the glass of water. Akihito took a small sip of water befor continuing. He needed to get it out and tell them everything. It was already too late since they had found out, so it would be better if they were aware of everything. But that didn't make this any easier for the blonde.

"After we came back from Austria, I got another letter. It was one that threatened you" Akihito revealed and Asami shared a look with Tetsu.

"After that, letters continued to come, more and more and they were getting more provocative. I… I have one here" Akihito said as he pulled the envelope out of his pocket.

"I was too afraid to open I when I saw it on my nightstand and the hickey on my chest. I knew it wasn't you so I came here" Akihito said and Asami took the letter from his hand to open it, his eyes scanning the short contents.

We are just like a fairy tale, my sweet angel.

You are like my princess, locked up in a tower and waiting for your prince to come rescue you. I, as your prince, will take you away and give you a happy life. I will save you from the monster that holds you in his clutches and tains your purity.

I will make sure he cannot find you anymore and you will be safe. You will be safe and by my side, where you belong and where you wish to be. We will be together and undefeated. We will punish anyone who stands in our way.

Starting with the monster locking you up in the tower he calls his penthouse. We will slowly kill him for daring to keep us apart when we are destined to be together. We'll carve him up and bury his heart, maybe he will get redeemed for standing in our way. That is something you would like, right? For him to get redeemed even after hurting us so much?

Soon, my dear sweet angel. Very soon, we will be in each other's arms and I will be able to finally hear your devotion to me, just like I will tell you all about my devotion to you.

Forever yours

Your soulmate and for now, secret admirer.

If that was not a blatant death-threat, Asami might as well be blind. But for now, he couldn't care less about that. This woman was a nut-job with crazy illusions that Akihito was hers. How the hell could he not have noticed? Not even the slightest bit?

"Tetsu, put away the gun" Asami said and Tetsu looked at him.

"Neither of you has to take responsibility for this. Not Tetsu, not Shingo and not you either, Kitten" Asami said and pulled Akihito into his side, kissing the top of his head.

"We were all careless, but that won't happen again" Asami said and looked over the top of his husband's head so the blonde did not see his expression that had even Kirishima and Suoh shiver, despite that they had seen Asami at his absolutely scariest.

"We will get this freak and make sure she cannot touch you ever again" Asami said and the four guards gave a sharp nod. Asami made eyecontact with each one of them just to be sure, reliefed to see stubborn determination in all their eyes. Akihito might never believe it, but he had grown on all of them. Neither one of them would allow anyone to harm the blonde that had brought light into their office. Though they would need him to stop being so god-damned stubborn.

Thank you for reading!

We're almost there, just a few more chapters!
