Title: To Find the Finder
Chapter: 5 Akira Shousaki Meeting Akihito
[college]
After telling Kou and Takato what they needed to know, including his headache. Kou stare at Akihito suspiciously while Takato had a worried look on. Not knowing what else to do, Akihito just stare at the floor with his head on the desk. As Kou and Takato look at each other then at Akihito, not wanting to upset the situation anymore than its already is, they both just shrunk at each other and look at Akihito. Kou petted Akihito's back while Takato pet his head, causing Akihito to blush. I'm not a kid! He thought but didn't moved and let his friend comfort him.
As minutes passed by, Akihito had enough petting and lift his head up so fast that it surprises his friends.
"Okay, that's it. No more petting. For real, no more." Akihito say with with a sign. As Kou and Takato smile at Akihito, thinking And he's back. Then Akihito remember that Kou hasn't clear the current situation just yet.
"Kou, what happen to class today? Is it cancel?" He asked.
"Yep, the professor is at the hospital. The BP says that in one week, the new professor will be coming so this whole week is break for Calculus class. Is a good thing for the break, but I wonder which hospital is the prof. Stay at." Kou added.
"Yeah, I wanna know too" Takato says looking at kou.
"Okay, since that's the case, what about other classes? "
"other classes are okay. Oh, by the way, your Tech class post a notes on the broad, saying that there will be no class for this week too." Kou told Akihito. Out of their friends, only Akihito have Tech class which teaches encryption for internet. Akihito's class are way to advanced for Kou and Takato so they left it alone.
"that's weird. That class never have a break period. I mean, never before does the professor give students a break in there. Always yelling something about the faster the better." Akihito commented.
"That's good then because, Aki, your hair changes color again." Kou say pointing at his head while Takato signed out loud.
"Urg, what is happening to me?!" Akihito say rubbing his head trying to tug the hair in frustration.
"We have no clue, Aki. Maybe you should go see a prophet just in case. I know my aunt will be please to help you."
"Takato, I know what you mean but did you forget what happen last time she look for me. The ball crack, you know. She says that magic or spell doesn't work on me, making it impossible to tell future to." Akihito reminded them. That time, when Kou and Takato was trying to cheer him up because of the break up that he had with his high school date. However, not only does it not working, its also very strange. Then they try Taro card and the card come out total black. The Taro master says that if he picked up white card then is one things but a total black has never happening before. Akihito take that as a warning and never go back to future reading or any prediction reading. He can not use horoscope neither because he's birthday isn't his real one. So there's nothing that he can do about it.
Kou and Takato look at each other in understanding as Akihito sign at them.
"Aki, but if magic or spell works on you. How come your hairs and eyes changes every freakin' now and then? Maybe something happen and you can use magic now, like this morning. So can we at least try to find the answer?" Takato plead his friend. Hah... what's the harm then? There's nothing to lose anymore anyway. So why not? Akihito thoughts as he signed out loud.
"Okay, fine. But she can't know that my hair can change color. Okay?" Akihito quickly added. Kou and Takato both nodded at his answer. "Okay then, since I don't have class right now, I'm going home. Called me after class and make sure to call your aunt before we go there. I need to call my workplace, too." Akihito commanded as he stand up from his seat. His friends only nodded at him and then he left through the door. Making his way to the gift shop before going home, he enter the store without making a noise. Looking for the cloths sections of the store, Akihito spot a black hat with his college's logic on it. Picking it up without any hesitation, he make his way to the register to pay for it.
The store was completely empty except for a he register lady and him. Of course, after all, there's a lot of classes being cancel this week, so no one was in the building except for professors and couple of students. As the register lady saw him, she smile as she scan the hat. Paying for the hat as he left the store, he put the hat on hiding almost his face and his hair. Smiling, satisfying at his purchase, Akihito run straight home.
At his penthouse, Asami stare at his phone, waiting for Suoh to call informing him of the process of having him leave for Hell for two days, the paper work involved is not a joke. As a knock sounded at the door, Kirishima walk in quietly and bow at his boss.
"Asami-sama, everything is ready for your department." Kirishima inform.
"Make sure everything is double check and inform of what is to be expecting when I come back. I want the mouse to be found by then." Asami order.
"Hai, Asami-sama." Kirishima answer as he's phone vibrate. Taking out his phone answering it with a commanded tone. Kirishima flow at the conversation before turning to his boss to broke the news.
"Asami-sama, there's a problem with the intruder that Suoh capture yesterday. It seems that he had escape using the air venture." Kirishima inform nervously. Knowing that his boss is not going to be happy with the news, and as he predicted, the air tenses so bad that the glass on the near by table shuttered into pieces as Kirishima hold his ground, getting use to the temper already. After all, working for Asami is never easy. In the past, he something wonder if there is actually someone who will be able to match with the hell lord, however as times goes on, the thoughts vanished like air.
"When did he escape?" Asami asked darkly.
"The guards where outside all the times when they suspected that something is wrong, they went in to check only to find the air venture open and the rope on the floor, with blood trace leading outside where the blood suddenly disappear. It happen five minutes ago, sir." Kirishima inform as he imaging what's the guards punishment is going to be, properly one thousand push up, one thousand sit up, and ten miles running. All in one day. And that's for human only. And this happen when Asami-sama was about to head to Hell, too. What a bad timing.
"Find the asshole, I want him alive." Asami glare coldly as he order his secretary. Phone still in hand, Kirishima press a button and repeat the order to the guards. Not waiting for answer, he hang up the phone just as Suoh steps inside with a folder of papers for the boss to sign and documents before the finalize.
"Asami-sama, these are the require documents that you must sign before signing the real ones with bloods, sir." Suoh bow as he firmly told the boss. Paper from the human realm to the death's always require the signer to be signed in his or her own blood. Some of the paper require more than one signature and the other require only one. There are always more than one conditions to fulfill before any supernatural beings in the human realm can steps into Hell. After all, human simple turn to ash there without a proper document in hands. They're like a charm or ticket to Hell and back. Some never come back. Those come back never go back. There's a few exceptions but you can count them in one hand totals.
Looking at the folder's Suoh holding, Asami can't help but rubbed his forehead from the coming headache. Asami like the human realm, controlling it is very satisfying but the paper work for this particular jobs isn't something that someone can finish in one day, is humanly impossible. But Asami is not human so he can do it in one hour or so. Reading and scanning the paper for any misleading conduct, then signing it with dark ink pen. As he goes through papers after papers. Kirishima's phone vibrate, answering it quickly.
"Asami-sama, the guard had found the intruder but there's a young man alone with him. It seems like they accidentally collide into each other when the young notices the injured on his body and offer to take him to the hospital. The guards who found them watched as the young man try to help but the intruder hit the young man's head and knock him out cold. What are your order sir?" Kirishima informed the hell lord as he calmly hope that Asami wouldn't do anything to the young man. After all is not a secret that their boss swing both way.
"Take the boy to a hospital and make sure that he's okay." Asami say after Kirishima inform him.
"Hai" Kirishima say as he speak to the phone, instructing the guards to take the young man to the hospital when suddenly, the conversation was cut cold with cursing in the background. Hearing just before the phone called end, a shit that asshole hit me for trying to help him?! In a very angry voice that make even Kirishima shrink. Of course, the sound didn't go unnoticed by the boss or Suoh. Asami smirk while Suoh look shocked at the voices.
As Akihito run straight home at the speed so fast that could be the fastest record on his life time, trying to get home so no one can see his hair color when suddenly, he collided into a man in suits with bloody face and holding on to his own arm. Shocked at what he see, he forgot about his own situation and worry about the man instead. Just then, three man in black suits come into views as they approached Akihito, resulting the injuring man into panic mode as he try to get away from them. Seeing that he's being chased, suddenly adrenaline rushed into his blood making Akihito very excited at the situation. Not noticing that he's hair color has return to its nature color, except his eyes.
"Let go of me!" the man shouted at Akihito.
"Your injured! You have to go to the hospital!" Akihito yield back worrying. Seeing that if he didn't get away fast enough, he'll get caught. He did the only thing that come to his mind. He hit the young man's head hard enough to killed a cow, resulting the fall of the boy as he run away as fast as possible. Looking back, he saw one of Asami's man holding the young man's as he talk on the phone while the other two run after him.
Shit! This is what I got from being nice?! Akihito snap as the force hit his head, making his headache come back. Pissed of that this is what he got for being nice, he cursed out loud. "shit! That asshole hit me for trying to help him?!" while looking at the man in suits as he hold a phone in his ears as the man help Akihito. Not wanting the help, he blamed them for chasing the injured man. Not knowing what to do, the man froze as if he can feel Akihito's angry sending chilled out of him. What the hell is this kid? Even Asami-sama cold attitude can send down fear like that in me. The man thoughts as he noticed that the young man was already up and about.
"Thanks for the help. But I'm fine." Akihito quickly say as he glare at the directions that the injured man run to, thinking that when they meet again, he's going to send him straight to hell. Unfortunately, he said it out loud making the man in black chuckle.
"I'm sorry for laughing but can you please let me take you to the hospital. My boss order are absolute, you see. If I don't make sure that you're okay after involving you in this mess, my boss will skin me alive." The man plead silently as he told Akihito. For some reason the man can't named, he feel trusted and safe and worry for the young man, wondering if the head injured will hurt. As if Akihito seeing the man's worry, he quickly answer.
"I'm fine, sir. Don't worry about me. I did Karate for years so this little forces isn't enough to hurt me. But if you worry then I won't stop you for checking but I have a meeting in couples of hours, so if you can make it fast then. Please do" Akihito say nicely as he smile at the man, making him blushed. As the man make a phone call, he take Akihito into a taxis and soon they arrived at a private hospital.
"I don't think I have the money for a private hospital." Akihito quickly said as he noticed the hospital, thinking that his wallet's kinda empty at the moment. When the man laughed at it, it cause Akihito to glare at him, freezing him instantly.
"Don't worry about the feed. My boss own this hospital and order for me to take you here. The feed has being paid by him as a sorry." The man told Akihito, making his jaw dropped.
"Tell your boss I give my Thank You" Akihito softly whispered.
As the man lead Akihito to the exam room, the examination was quicker than he had thoughts. After the doctor told him that nothing is broken or is there any injured at all. Akihito smile at the man as he thanks the doctor.
"Ah! my name is Takaba. Thank you for taking care of me." Akihito thanks the man, knowing that he should feel grateful for the help. But don't wanted reveal who he is to the man, after all, he his a stranger to Akihito. Better be safe then sorry.
"Oh don't be. It was nothing. I'm Akira. If you needed anything, please come find me at clue Shion." Akira said as he handed him a card with his information on it. It read 'Akira Shousaki, Bodyguard, Club Shion. The card look very fashion, causing a gasp from Akihito, surprising at the thick card as he bow to Akira and walk out. Stopping only to look at the clock, it read: Three-fifteen. Akihito froze.
"Ah! Shit! I'm going to be late! Thank you Akira-san! I have to run! Bye!" Akihito wave at Akira as he literally run as fast as he can, thinking 'shit! Kou and Takato is going to killed me for being late' as he take out his phone and called his workplace, informing them that he had to visit a sick relatives for two days and promise to make it up the next. He didn't lied. The place that he's going to is where Kou, Takato and Akihito had growth up together for fifteen years. And he's aunt is still there, even if his parents had left the world for ten years already. He doesn't want to go back there after that accident.
Looking after a running young man away, The doctor look at Akira in brimming, shocking at the speed that the young man can run, so as Akira. Damn, that was fast. I doubt that I can catch up with that. I might be the fastest human in Asami's guards team but if the enemy are as fast as Takaba then... shit I need more training. Akira silently stare at the back of Takaba who is already long gone. Just as he think that he needed more training, a sudden chilled ran through his back as the phone ring.
"Akira desu. Hai, Kirishima-san. Hai. Everything is taken care of. Hai. Hai. Yoh had caught intruder already. Hai. Hai." Akira answer as he make his way out of the hospital. Just before he can get to the front, a black object caught his eyes as he stare at it. Hanging up the phone, he pick up the object, a hat? Huh? Is it this Takaba-kun's hat? He must have drop it. Well, running that fast away, I'm not surprise. Looking at the hat, he noticed that the names on the hat belong to a very hard to get to college near there. In fact, it only take thirty minutes walking from where he is.
Not knowing what to do, he take the hat back to the clue while waiting for Kirishima to order him. Making his way to the basement where they kept the intruder, the guard on the door bow at him while looking at his hand. Oh I forgot this. Oh well, I'll give it to him in case he make an appearance here. I give him my card after all. Akira thinks while smiling, surprising the bodyguard. "Do your job carefully if you don't have a death wish. If the rat escape again, both of your lives will be use to paid for it" Akira warn the guys, making the stiff as they nodded.
By the time that Akihito get home, take a shower, cook and finished eating, Kou and Takato was already at the door ringing the door bell. Opening the door for his friends, he make his way back to the table as he clean up the dishes and washed them.
"You ready, Aki?.." Kou started before frozen and look at Akihito. Now what? Did my hair change again? Huh? Where's my hat? Huh?! Oh shit! Did I drop it somewhere?! Don't tell me!... Akihito thoughts as he look at Kou. But before he can asked Kou, Takato was already happily exclaim at him.
"Aki-chan! Your hair is back! Well, excepts your eyes..." Takato explain happily.
"Really?" Akihito asked desperately.
"Seeing is better than words" Kou added while pointing to the bathroom. Running to the bathroom with his friends, Akihito smile when he see's he hair color. Feeling so happy that tears fell on his cheeks, Kou and Takato hug him tightly. Then suddenly, he headache that he haven't feel for like so long kick in and make he faint in their arms. The last thing that Akihito can see or hear is Kou and Takato shouting his named.
