As Kou noticed that Akihito's atmosphere had changed, he let out a sigh full of knowing and the anticipation that had yet to come. Takato looked at Akihito in worry and in hope that Akihito can hold himself in check. Whatever it was that's coming, Kou and Takato both prayed that they know what they will be fighting against. They both silently prayed that the demon wouldn't be unleashed or otherwise, all hell's going to break loose, in more than one ways.
The anticipation and the adrenaline that rushed to Akihito's head was coming very dangerous as Akihito himself killed off his presence and control his breathing in a rhythm that's rather impressive for someone his age, which is still a mystery to Asami and everyone else. The secrets will be revealed, however, at the prize that would cost too greatly and too deadly. Kou and Takato didn't want to know whatever secrets that Akihito was keeping; they just wanted their friend to be their friend. The one and only one that they both had labeled as plain 'Weird and Unpredictable', a dangerous combination for someone like Akihito.
As soon as Akihito killed off his presence, Asami raised his eyebrows in question at the sudden move the young man made, amused and impressed. How did you manage to learn how to do that? Even I have a hard time making out your presence. Fufufu... this is going to be very entertaining. It seems like you're a fighter, let's see what you can do. Asami thought amusingly as he looked at Akihito and tried to make out his presence, which is getting harder and harder as each passing second ticked by. Asami was beginning to reconsider his thoughts now. Akihito's presence was getting hard to detect. Asami raise an eyebrow at the frustrations and the difficulty that he had at detecting the younger man. This was proving to be more difficult than he originally thought.
Asami could see him well but to not feel his presence was something that's bothering him. It's like the boy didn't have one bit of life in him, just like a plain object. No emotions were detected or any intentions were shown on the younger man's face. Asami was beginning to change his thoughts of this young man, in more than one way. What the hell is he? And what's with this excitement? Asami asked himself as he felt the excitement that Akihito had unknowingly emitted from the hell lord. Asami was liking him more and more. In the beginning when he first had his sight on the boy, Asami had already liked him, especially the way that his body reacted to the younger man, as it had been something that had never happened before. He had already made up his mind to make the younger man his. However, if this was the difficulty that he's going to face with the younger man, he was more than just happy or excited now. He really looked forward to the difficulties and challenges that will come along with the younger man.
Adrenaline junkie was what Akihito's parents used to call him. But as he started joining karate and other martial arts classes, his parents were getting worried at his progresses. Akihito's different from other kids his age, or at least that's what it looked like to his parents. Suzima Takaba and Shokyou Takaba were from the Dragon Clan; they were fighters, even if they were not very strong, they were still fighters. However, even if they were married for twenty years, they never had a baby, not a single one. So when a chance arrived for them to raise a kid, a little gray-haired boy, they were more than happy to take it, and that was twenty one years ago.
As Akihito dropped all his presence, Kirishima looked around as he noticed that someone was missing, or so he thought, until he caught his sights at Akihito and noticed that the no one was missing, from Kou and Takato to Akihito and then to the doctor and his boss, and then Suoh. Suoh wasn't surprised at the situation, but amazed at it instead. He had known what Takaba Akihito was capable of, in more than one way. He experienced it nine years ago and from seven years ago. He never even tried to forget it, because it was impossible to forget. No matter how much he tried to make himself forget, it just didn't work. The memory itself sent shivers down his spine as he made his form change.
Suoh was ready to fight and protect his boss. Kirishima was back to himself and was prepared for anything that's coming. Asami was just being Asami. Akihito was trying hard not to get pissed off at Asami for his calmness. Kou and Takato were in fighting stances. If chances were given, they were willing to stop Akihito at any cost. They both felt more than known that Akihito was way too exhausted to control his own strength. The doctor was getting nervous at the situation, too afraid to voice his fear, for saying it out loud could get him killed in less than one second, and he knew it.
The doctor had totally forgotten about Akihito and everyone else as he worried for his own life. It didn't make Akihito careless. As the shouts and cries quieted down, the gunshots were getting weaker and slower, reaching nearer and nearer. One of the nurses quietly ran to their room and nearly got killed by Suoh as he moved his hand to her throat. Suoh had already shifted from a normal human to a half wolf. He's hand were covered in fur and his nails were long and strong, as strong as metal, maybe stronger.
"Oh shit! I'm so sorry, Asami-sama! We were careless and somehow got ourselves in this situation. I'm so sorry. I thoughts that it might be good if I warned you sir," the nurse pleaded as Suoh's hand was still near her throat. She was already shivering from the fear of the situation and Suoh's hand was just making it worse. She was about to cry already. Akihito moved to hold onto Suoh's hand, telling him to take it off from the girl's throat. Suoh shivered at the touched as cold sweat formed on his forehead. However, he couldn't let go without his boss' permission, so Suoh just stood there with cold sweat as Akihito looked at him and then at the girl. When Akihito smacked away Suoh's hand from the Nurse's throat, she let out a sigh as she nearly fell to her knees before Akihito caught her.
"Thank you, sir. My name is Natsume. I am the head nurse here at station three. I came to warn everyone to stay away from station two and the rest at the moment. There are people carrying guns and weapons coming near here." The nurse named Natsume nearly cried as she held her fear back and told everyone in the room.
"How many people are there?" Asami asked before anyone else can do or say anything.
Natsume gasped at the question and quickly look at Asami. In another situation, she would be having eye-candy by now but the current situation was more important than that.
"I'm sorry, Asami-sama. I didn't get a good look at them before I ran here. I think that there are at least twenty men in full equipment or more. They all are equipped and I'm so sorry for being a coward and ran away, sir!" Natsume was now crying at the hell lord and was shivering in fear. Asami just look amused, which for some reason pissed off Akihito.
"Don't worry about that. Anyone would be scared if they're in this type of situation" Akihito said before anyone else could say anything, which earned him a glare from Asami. Akihito didn't care though, not at the moment.
"If anyone were to be scared then how come you're so calm right now?" Natsume asked when she noticed that he wasn't even afraid, feeling confused and curious at the same time. Asami raised his eyebrow at the question too. He was already beyond curiosity.
Kou and Takato exchanged a knowing glance and then look at Akihito for answer. They knew that the answer wasn't going to be very funny.
"I'm not calm at all, Natsume-san. I'm so excited that I can barely keep my hands to myself." Akihito answered softly as his eye are saying 'I'm looking forward to the situation', making Natsume shiver in worry and fear at the same time. Asami raised a questioning look at the younger man but he took no notice. Suoh was getting more cold sweats by now, and Kirishima was just surprised at the answer. Kou and Takato sighed out loud.
Before anything happened, Kou and Takato had to make sure that no one died in the process, so they both looked at each other and decided to talk to their best friend.
"Aki-chan! You have to control yourself this time. We don't want any more enemies to come looking for you. Okay?!" Takato nearly shouted at Akihito while making a 'you better control yourself this time or we'll be the one to kick your ass if we have to, along with lots and lots of embarrassing teasing coming' look at Akihito. He could already feel his sweat drop at the mention of teasing already. Kou and Takato knew him too well to not know any secrets, except one or two that Akihito has, so all he could do was nervously nod at their condition. He wasn't ready for any teasing that might come along.
"Aki-chan. You can't fight this time. Your condition isn't well yet. Beside, your hair." Kou pointed out at Akihito while nodding at his head. Confused, Akihito touched his hair and noticed that was softer now and longer, too. He totally forgot about his particular condition until Kou pointed out. Yeah, everyone forgot about it. They all made an 'oh yeah' look at Akihito, especially Asami, making Akihito blush when Asami looked at him. Akihito couldn't even say why or how anymore. The look that Asami gave him made him shiver in... cold? No, anticipation. Maybe.
"Shit. I forgot about it." Akihito admitted. Before Akihito can do anything, Asami came closer to him and pulled Akihito into his chest. What the?! Akihito thought as he felt that his chest was going to explode in matter of seconds. Asami smirked at his reaction. So cute and adorable. Asami thought to himself as he held Akihito to his chest, surprising everyone. The nurse was blushing at the sight while Kou and Takato gasped with their mouth wide opened. Kirishima and Suoh both raised their eyebrows at their boss in question and confusion. They both knew that their boss didn't care for gentility but, seriously? This was a kid they were talking about. Kirishima thought silently. However, Suoh knew better.
As Akihito looked at Asami, he had a smirk on his face, pissing off Akihito on purpose. Before anything could take place, one gunshot rang and hit right above Asami's head straight to the light, killing it off. The nurse screamed so loudly that Akihito and Asami swore to shut her up for good, in different ways. As Akihito got away from Asami's hold, he's already ready to fight, not even noticing that his hair was back to the way it was.
A shot was heard not even a second later, a bullet went past Akihito's face. Good thing Akihito was faster than the bullet and moved away from the place that his standing, otherwise the bullet would have been right in his face. Asami could feel his heart nearly jump out of his chest as Akihito was almost too late in moving from the place that he was standing in. Suoh was impressed by Akihito's speed, and Kirishima was surprised. Kou and Takato knew that Akihito can do better, but still worried nevertheless. However, the next bullet was fast enough that it nearly hit Asami's shoulder if not for the fact that Akihito pushed him away just at the right moment. It still grazed by Asami's shoulder, making a hole on his three piece suit.
"Damn it! Stop being in a daze and be careful will you. If you die, I don't think that I'm going to have a good dream so you better take care of your own self, damn it" Akihito snapped between his teeth as he threatening Asami. Kirishima was surprised at the outburst but Suoh just look at Asami worriedly. Asami stared at Akihito in amusement and longing. He wanted to kiss Akihito so badly right there and then, but the situation didn't allow it so he just had to be satisfied by smirking at Akihito, causing him to blush bright red. The sight was cute and adorable to Asami's eye. Asami didn't need to be careful, after all, he was a hell lord, and he's immortal, nearly immortal, that is. It will take more than one hundred bullets to kill him and he didn't need to be careful, but since he didn't want to worry Akihito, he raised his senses and presence up just a little higher than normal to help dodge flying bullets.
As soon as Akihito noticed that Asami was truly being careful, Akihito stopped trying to pay attention to everyone else but the coming bullets. Ahh! That's it. I've had enough of flying bullets coming here. Akihito thought as he made a grin on his face, causing Kou and Takato to gasp in fear and worry. Before Asami knew what was happening, Akihito already zoomed past him in a frightening speed to the man shot that was still shooting. It didn't even take a second before a thump could be heard and bullets to stop flying. Soon enough, there was only the sound of cracking bones and screams filling the air.
"Oh shit! Kou, we have to stop Akihito before he loses himself in excitement and kills everyone here!" Takato shouted at Kou after shivering from the screams and cracking sounds of what sounded like bones being ripped off of bodies. As soon as Takato shouted at Kou, a loud thump sound was heard not even a second before gunshots started flying at a frightened pace. Shouting and screaming could be heard in the close distance as a figure moved so fast that the nurse couldn't even see what was happening anymore. Asami, Suoh, Kirishima, Kou, and Takato all looked at the way that Akihito moved in a daze. In only what seems like twenty seconds, all sounds broke into nothing and only silence could be heard.
Asami didn't even move a finger for Suoh or Kirishima yet, and a kid who was ten-to-fifteen years younger than them already took care of everything in a frightening speed. Suoh gulped as Kirishima simply froze in place. Asami was stunned in place too. Kou and Takato sighed in relief that it seems like one is dead yet.
As everyone made their way to Akihito, who was just sitting on top of a pile of bodies with his body covered in blood and a grin on his face. The sight caused cold chills down everyone's bones, all except for Asami, for he happened to think that the sight was cute and still fucking adorable. The proof was that Asami was very much hard right into his core right now. He wanted Akihito. Right Now. Right there. But too bad... it was not happening.
By the time that Akihito noticed that everyone's there, he already calmed down and started to feel weak from all the activities that he performed just a few seconds ago. Standing up, Akihito walked to where his friends were standing and let his head slide onto Kou's shoulder.
"I'm hungry... Kou" Akihito stated firmly.
"Who told you to use that much energy when you're sick?!" Kou shouted at his friend, whose head still rested on his shoulder.
"But the voices were getting annoying and my headache was returning..." before Akihito could finish his sentence, he fainted. It was a good thing that Kou and Takato were fast enough to catch him before he hit the floor. Otherwise, he's going to have a bump on his head along with a headache.
"Aki-chan, you can't just go and nearly killing everyone when you yourself aren't well. Damn it, it's been awhile since we saw you fight and this is the result." Takato said to no one in particular.
As Asami looked at the sight before him, he couldn't believe that this was the work of a kid who just fainted from hunger.
The bodies were all still breathing and no one had died yet, Asami can tell. Yet, they were all unconscious and will be for a long while. Too bad that when they woke up, it would be their last time. Asami was going to make sure of that. He already began thinking of their punishment if not for the fact that no hospital staff were in sight. Noticing that something wasn't right, Asami looked around the hospital and noticed that nobody was wearing white or hospital clothes. Where's everyone else? Asami thought as he looked at the bloody scene. Before he could do anything, Suoh already took action and noticed the same thing.
"Asami-sama, something isn't right here. Where is the hospital staff? And where did all the other patients go too?" Suoh concluded at the same time that Akihito came too. Before anyone could do anything, a loud bang was heard as the building shook and another bang was heard.
"Bomb," was all that Akihito said when everyone's attention went to him.
"How do you know?" Asami asked.
"Oh come on, don't tell me you can't tell that's the sound of a bomb going off, especially to someone like you." Akihito said softly, from hunger and exhaustion, to Asami, causing him to raise his eyebrows.
"I can tell that's a bomb but who are you for you to know that's a bomb?" Asami was beginning to lose his patience with Akihito. Before Akihito opened his mouth to say anything, another set of gunshots could be heard and screams followed by it. And then bang, another bomb went off.
As everyone turned their attention to the direction of the sound. No words were uttered out at all.
