Chapter 5

Later that night, Akihito was perched in a warehouse taking pictures of a deal that was to happen. He had snapped off a few pictures when he recognized one of the men. It was Amelia's father. What was he doing here? He was suddenly pulled from his hiding place by one of the many goons in a black suit and dragged down to the level below them. He was forced to his knees in front of the man.

"Asami-sama, I found this kid taking pictures from the walkway." The goon said. Wait, Asami? He looked up at Amelia's father with wide eyes. This man was Asami Ryuichi. Asami aimed his gun between his eyes.

"What are you playing at you punk?" He said with a cold glare. Akihito was screwed.

"I don't…" Asami backhanded him with the butt of his gun.

"First, I see you with my sick child and now here while I conduct business. What is your game?"

"I didn't even know who you were until that guy said you name." Akihito said pointing at the guard that dragged him out of his hiding place. "If I didn't know who you were before now how was I supposed to know that Amelia was your daughter?"

"If you weren't at the hospital to get leverage on me, why were you there?" Asami asked through narrow eyes.

"I was volunteering." Akihito said maneuvering himself to sit with his back against a wall, "I spent most of my childhood and early teen years in the hospital because of cancer. My parents even moved us to America in hopes of getting better care. I just remembered being so alone during my time in the hospital cause both my parents worked and I was too sick to leave my room. I wanted to be able to cheer up children who suffer the same fate."

"So why pick Amelia's room?" Asami asked.

"The nurses told me about her and how she was always alone and looked so sad so I decided to spend the day with her to see if I could make her happy."

Asami just stared at the boy before him. He could not see a single lie in his eyes. He took the camera from the guard and started to flip through the pictures he began deleting them until he came to one from the that morning. It was of the boy and Amelia they looked happy in the photo, Amelia looked happy. After deleting all photos from the night he threw the camera back at Akihito who caught it with a stunned look.

"Get out of here, brat." He said walking away, "The next time I catch you I won't be as kind."

Akihito spent the next few day avoiding going to visit Amelia. He didn't want to chance running into her father again. He wasn't scared but he was cautious to bring Amelia into the middle of the little disagreement. It was on his fifth day of avoiding Amelia's room that he was stopped by two men in sharp black suits. He was dragged up to Amelia's room where the two Asamis were waiting. Amelia's eyes lit up when she saw him.

"Aki you're here." She said with a bright smile. Asami was looking at Amelia before he gave a small chuckle and smile. He stood and walked over to Akihito who was still standing in the door.

"Hello." He said sticking his hand out for a handshake. "My name is Asami Ryuichi. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"Takaba Akihito." Akihito responded taking Asami's hand and giving it a shake. "Nice to meet you too."

"My daughter was telling me all about the fun you had with her but she was sad that you hadn't come to visit her since."

"I missed you Aki." Amelia said with a sad smile.

"I asked my guards to bring you here because I have a proposition for you." Asami said sitting back down.

"A proposition?" Akihito asked.

"Yes. I would like you to spend your days with Amelia playing with her and keeping her company in my place. I will pay you handsomely to do so."

"I'm sorry but I can't do that." Akihito said after some thought.

"Why not?" Asami asked eyes narrowed.

"Because if I was to devote all my time to Amelia than I wouldn't be able to help all the other children here." Seeing Amelia sadden because of this Akihito continued, "But I can add her to my rotation and come see here at a set time. Sometimes I may only be able to stay for a few minutes but I will try to visit you whenever I can. Ok?"

"Ok Aki." Amelia said with a smile.

"Is that alright with you Asami?"

"May I speak with you in the hall?" Asami said standing up and walking out the door. Akihito followed him after giving a smile to Amelia. He was pinned to the wall the second the door was closed. "What do you think you are doing you brat? I spared your life, let you walk away without any lasting damage and this is how you repay me? Try and deny my child her happiness?"

"In case you didn't notice Amelia was pretty happy with the arrangement that I came up with. She's not selfish enough to demand someone to only be hers. Unlike you apparently. You're the only one with the problem, you bast-"

Akihito was cut off by Asami's lips on his, dominating him. It was an aggressive, bruising kiss causing Akihito to gasp. Taking advantage of the situation Asami plunged his tongue into Akihito's mouth. Coming back to himself suddenly, Akihito pushed at Asami until he was released. Akihito wiped his mouth and stared wide eyed at Asami before making a break for it, streaking down the hall. Asami smirked as he stared after Akihito. He returned to Amelia who looked at him with curiosity.

"Where Aki, papa?" She asked.

"He had to go home but don't worry you'll see him tomorrow." Asami said with a small smile. Asami was going to make sure she saw him every day for the rest of his life. Akihito was going to be his.
