I need you

Pairing: Kodam

Spoilers for season 10

Chapter nine

After having a shower and getting cleaned up, Adam, Kono, Lou, headed out to the place where Kenji had been staying at.. He had been lying low however Adam knew the location of where he would be, so he made sure Lou called Steve, Danny and SWAT out to that location as well. "Are you sure you wanna do this Adam? I mean, Kenji knows it's you.. who's to say he won't do what the Yakuza did all those years ago and run us out of our own home".

Driving there, Lou had taken his own car whereas Adam and Kono went together in another one. Taken her hand in his own, he had to chuckle softly. "I need to do this Kono.. this is going to mean the end of the Yakuza operations here in Hawaii, and it is also one step closer to getting Steve to trust me again.. plus I really want to see the look on his face when I reveal to him that I've been working undercover the whole time".

Having only just returned home to Hawaii, Kono was obviously a little worried that there would be backlash where they would need to go into hiding again.. but she trusted Adam and knowing that he knew what the two of them went through the first time, he wouldn't be doing it now if it meant they wouldn't be able to stay in Hawaii or even in America.

Nodding her head, she smiled softly, "I'm right here with you on this then.. Steve will trust you.. Remember, when you first met him, you and him didn't see eye to eye because of the whole Joe situation, and you have become one of his closest friends.. so he will trust you, just give him some time to come around".

Behind them were Lou, and then trailing behind Lou was SWAT, getting ready to go in hot, tightening up their protective helmets and readying their guns. This was a massive bust for them, and anytime they were able to back up five-o, they knew they had to be ready to go.

Knowing the kind of man that Kenji was, he knew that as soon as he had that hit carried out on himself, that Kenji would run, and if those man had succeeded in killing him and Kono, he would have been able to retreat to Japan before anyone would have realised who it was that killed him. Putting his foot down, he speed up a little, wanting to get to Kenji before he even made it out of his home.

Pulling up, they all got out, drawing their weapons, Lou making the call, "five-o, drop your weapons". Of course they all knew that the Yakuza wouldn't go down without a fight, and so as soon as the Yakuza began to fire, five-o fired shots back.. Adam knew he had to get to Kenji, these men were a distraction to stop them from getting to him before he was able to leave..

As soon as he saw Kenji jump over the balcony and run off towards the forest, he knew he had to follow him.. "Kono, I'm going after him.. we can't let him get away". Kono nodded, crouched behind one of the open doors, still firing, "Go, we got this".

Keeping his gun trained on Kenji, he followed him, the light on his gun making it a little easier to see where he was going, Kenji firing his gun towards him and he had to quickly duck behind a tree to take cover. Adam knew he that he had worked too hard and risked so much that he couldn't let him get away.

The two of them continued to trade fire, and playing a game of cat and mouse, Kenji running through the forest, Adam following not far behind him. His torch attached to his gun showing him through the dark night, carefully looking from one side to another, constantly on the look out. Kenji had already run out of bullets and so as he flashed his torch around, he was completely caught off guard when Kenji came out and threw a punch towards him.

Though Kenji got the first punch in, Adam very quickly managed to take control, throwing him on his back, where he moved on top of him and began punching him, however Kenji fought back and managed to punch back a couple of times before he began to crawl away, Adam reaching for his leg.. Both of them struggled for a moment before Adam managed to grab his gun once more, Kenji trying to take off when Adam hit him, the bullets going through his shoulder, and he fell to the ground.

Adam stood up, pointing the the gun to the injured man, who had said "go ahead, finish". Adam looked at Kenji, he knew in his head and in his heart he wasn't going to kill the man.. Instead he said, "I want to hear you say it.. Masuda".

Kenji began laughing, his nose and face bloody as he said, "Yes, I killed Masuda, and you and your girlfriend would have been next had Tokyo not intervened". Adam was angry, his hands holding the gun were shaking a little.. While he may have seemed like he wanted to take the shot, he was in control of himself the whole time.

Pressing the com button on his earpiece, he requested some assistance, "I need EMTs behind the house right now". When he was done doing that, he continued to Kenji, "You know, you were right not to trust me, I was working for five-o the whole time, playing you, and now I have video footage of you and your crew executing Endo and Haru".

Both men looked at each other for a moment, "You're going away, Kenji and never getting out". The other man smiled a little a him, nodding his head from his position on the ground.. "well done Noshimuri, except I don't see how you can let me live". Adam couldn't help but smirk at that, laughing in his mind, "why, because you'll talk?"

"Yes", came Kenji's response, and he smiled wider, "and I have a lot to say about you". Having already known that he had come clean to Steve and Danny about everything, he knew that Kenji couldn't hurt him anymore, "I'll take my chances". Before another word could be said, the EMTs showed up along with Junior and Lou behind them to assist.. They had managed to take down the rest of the bad guys and despite what Adam had done recently, they were happy that he was safe, and not injured.

Sighing softly when he watched the paramedic's take him off in the ambulance, he couldn't believe how tired he was.. Yawning, he blinked his eyes a few times as Kono walked over to him, "Come on, let's debrief Steve and the rest of the team what happened at home and then find someplace to stay tonight since your apartment is a crime scene".

Author's Notes:

I am loving that this story is being well received.. As a McRoll writer for the Hawaii five-o fandom first and foremost, I was nervous in trying my hand at a different ship, but I have always loved the Kodam ship as well. It makes me feel very happy knowing other people love the ship as much as I do.. I was saddened when Grace Park and Daniel Dae Kim left the show, and even more saddened when we learnt that Kono and Adam had separated.. I knew it was the only way moving forward if Adam was going to stay involved in the show, but still sad anyway, so this is my result at fixing that mistake of them splitting up.

Thank you, I am so appreciative of you and how much you support my stories.. It means a lot to me and I love using aspects of the show into my stories and you will see that once more in chapter nine as well. I will go back in a future chapter and show you the week leading up to chapter 10, as well as the next day after they took down Kenji, having Steve interrogate him, and Kenji trying to spill the beans on Adam, and though Steve isn't sure if he can trust him, he just kind of acts as though Adam was acting under his support the whole time. I hope you enjoy chapter 10 as well..
