Dachi made his way out of the large building and glanced around the area. It was apparent that the "Elite London Escorts" building was the fanciest thing in these parts. Of course, Dachi didn't expect much, given the fact that he was right in the middle of the red light district. Smaller hotels were all around the area with small alleyways peeking in between each building, not doubt they were all occupied with someone doing something that should be bound illegal in these parts.
The orange haired beauty began to walk down the street, pulling his hidden pleasure out of his jacket pocket, near his chest. The carton was held tightly in his left hand as he pulled a cigarette out with the other. Once the carton was put back in place, Dachi patted down his body, looking for his lighter, before remembering that he had hidden it in his bag during the security check at the airport.
A small sigh escaped Dachi, realizing he didn't have a light. "Dammit." Whispered Dachi when all of a sudden he realized that he was about to walk past a group of young men who were loitering in between two buildings; smoking and talking. Dachi made his way towards the group casually and stepped into the small alleyway where the men were enjoying their time. The older man passed a warm smile to the group as he asked, "I'm sorry to bother you guys, but do any of you think you could spare me a light?"
Dachi raised the cigarette just slightly to show them he already had the cigarette, he just needed a light. One of the youngest boys smiled playfully towards Dachi and walked towards him as he brought out his lighter. "Here you go, Flower." He said softly as he brought the light up towards Dachi already flicked on.
Dachi nodded his head as he placed the cigarette in his mouth and leaned forward, letting the light burn the tip of the cigarette. As the boy turned off the lighter and placed it back in his pocket, Dachi brought himself to his full stance and smiled as he let out a long drag away from the boys in respect and replied, "Thank you very much, I appreciate it."
"Aye, you a foreigner?" Asked one of the other men as Dachi looked over at part of the group and nodded his head. "Uh, yes. I'm visiting for a few days."
"You foreigners just love this district, don't you?" Asked another man as Dachi raised an eyebrow in question. "Well, I had some business I had to take care of."
"Ah, business is what all you blocks say when you come here. Though, not too many of the American's that come in these parts have a pretty face like yours. Or such nice hair." One man spoke as another continued, "He's right, you know? You look better then most flowers in these parts."
"Flowers?" Asked Dachi, trying to keep up with the thick accents and slang in their vocabulary. The boy who had given him the light smiled and replied, "Flowers, meaning women. You seem more well groomed then most women around these areas."
"But I bet he's all fur coat and no knickers." Said another as he smirked over at Dachi, looking his figure up and down. Dachi didn't know what the expression meant, but he was beginning to get the feeling that these men may not have been the best choice to pick when looking for a light.
Dachi remained calm and collected as he brought the cigarette up to his mouth and took another drag before removing the stick. "Wow, talk about dannies. Those are rare to see." Said one man as he walked over towards Dachi and grabbed his hand gently, cigarette still balancing between his fingers.
"Such elegant features in both your dannies and your dial." Said the man as he looked up and caressed Dachi's cheek.
"A dish like you shouldn't be walking around in an area like this." Said one of the other men as he walked towards Dachi as well. Dachi glanced around him, counting the men in the group; six. Six men who seemed like they may not be as kind or prestigious as they may look.
"Listen, I don't want any trouble." Said Dachi as one of them chuckled and asked, "Trouble? Isn't that why you're here?" Dachi narrowed his eyes as he noticed a few of the men getting closer towards him, when suddenly a realization popped into his mind. The boy who had given him the light, where was he?
A grunt of pain was all Dachi was able to let out as he felt a heavy blow to his head. The older man fell forward and landed on the cold cement as the group of men drug Dachi further into the alleyway, away from prying eyes.
"Seven..." Whispered Dachi as it finally dawned on him that the number of men around him was in fact seven and they were all wearing a familiar suit.
"Let's search him. See what he's got." Said the young boy who had hit Dachi from behind. He smirked down at Dachi, his brown hair cut short but his bangs played in the view of his eyes. At first glance, Dachi wouldn't have suspected this young boy, the very one who gave him a light, too be the one to give out orders to the other men.
"Argh!" Dachi cried out, feeling a pair of hands on both his ankles, pressing hard so he couldn't move them. His hands pulled out in front of him and spread as they were pinned separately as well by two more men. Dachi tried to struggle as he raised his face from the floor to look up, but was quickly pushed down by a foot resting on the back of his shoulders. Dachi's chest laid flat against the cement as his cheek did as well.
"Search him." The boy called out demands again as the two men who didn't have a hold on Dachi began to search through his pockets.
"Stop this!" Shouted Dachi as he decided to use his best defense. "I'm a cop!"
One of the men pulled out a gun while the other pulled out handcuffs. The two of them looked at each other and then glanced at the boy who was giving orders. "Blimey, he's got cuffs and a gun." Said one of the men as the boy who acted like the leader of the pack replied hesitantly, "Check for a badge! He's not a cop if he has no badge!"
The two men nodded as they continued to search Dachi's clothing. One of the men noticed the earpiece in Dachi's right ear and quickly ripped it out, tossing it across the alleyway. Dai's mind raced, he knew he didn't have a badge or any evidence that he was apart of a secret investigation. He had to blow his cover.
"I'm undercover. You all work at the brothel, correct?" Asked Dachi as the men looked at each other in silence. "I'm here to find the person responsible for the deaths of your fellow employees." Said Dachi as the men looked at each other in a confused manner. "What're you talking about?" Asked the leading boy as Dachi paused, amazed they didn't understand.
"Have you not heard about the seven hosts at the brothel who died of sudden heart attacks?" Asked Dachi as the leading boy looked around and then let out an amused laugh.
"Funny, very clever, young flower. There are seven of us here. Are you threatening us?" Asked the boy as he signaled the others with his hand. Dachi was quickly flipped over and pinned once again, now looking up at the two men who had searched him until the other young boy came into view as he walked next to Dachi.
The young boy smirked down at Dachi as he spoke towards the others. "He looks a lot like the blind flower." The men smirked and nodded in agreement as the younger boy kneeled next to Dachi, putting his face above Dachi's.
"We'll see if you can scream louder." Said the young boy as Dachi narrowed his eyes, still struggling, but one against seven were nearly impossible odds. "Fuck you." Dachi said in a low growl as he spat in the young boy's face.
Without a warning Dachi received a blow across the face and the younger boy quickly wiped the spit off of his cheek. "You'll pay for that." The boy threatened as he smirked toward Dachi. Dachi turned his face back towards the boy to look into his eyes.
"Blindfold him. Everyone gets a turn." There was venom in the boy's words as Dachi struggled even harder and let out an angered scream, "No!"

Light walked into the hotel room and bolted it shut behind him as he let out a small sigh, realizing no one else was in the room. He looked around for a moment and came to a stop as he saw the bathroom door open. Sato walked out of the room, dressed nicely as he placed the earpiece back in his ear.
"Excited for tonight?" Asked Light as Sato jumped slightly, not realizing Light had entered the room. "You scared me. I didn't even hear you come in." Said Sato as he let out a relieved sigh.
Light chuckled softly and asked, "Neither one of them are back yet?"
Sato shook his head and replied, "Nope, Matsuda is still in the room with one of them and Dachi isn't answering his. All I get is static, but he tends to turn off his ear piece from time to time."
Light let out a small sigh and nodded his head as he sat down on one of the beds. He let his head fall into one of his hands as he took out the ear piece that was in his right ear. Sato looked at Light with concern as he sat down next to him and asked, "Is something the matter? Did you get any leads?"
Light shook his head as he replied, "I tried to talk to Dachi while we were there. I was as kind as I could be and I took every single one of his insults the best I could, but no matter what...He won't look at me as a person."
Sato leaned on Light and held him gently as he replied, "He'll see you as I see you. One day, he'll see what I see. But right now...He's just still...Very sad with what happened to L."
Light looked over at Sato and asked, "They were really close, weren't they?" Sato's head nodded as he replied, "Yes, they called each other brothers."
Light let out a sad sigh but then asked, "Why did things have to turn out the way they did? If L didn't have a real name in the first place then this all would have ended a long time ago."
Sato smiled softly and replied, "It's funny you should say that because, L didn't have a real name either."
Light looked at Sato in confusion and asked, "How is that possible?"
"Well, much like Dachi, L didn't have a name either, but when he wanted to become a detective. He had to legally become a citizen. So, L received a birth certificate and filled out what was basically needed. In the end all he gave them was his age since he didn't know his birthday, his fingerprint, and he made himself a fake name. But everyone just kept calling him L; they were all so used to it." Said Sato as he let out a sad sigh as he looked away from Light, "I wish I had known him better."
Sato felt himself fall into Light's arms as the older man held him tightly, "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry for what I did." Whispered Light as he rested his chin on the boy's shoulder, allowing neither one of them to see each other's face.
"Light, it's all right. Please, stop beating yourself up over this." Said Sato as he held the man tightly as well. A dark smile came over Light as the riddle had finally been solved. He knew he was going to have to make a birth certificate in order to kill Dai, but now he knew what was required. Name, age, and his finger print.
Sato had finally served his purpose.

Christian was making his way down the street from the brothel, ready to go home for the night after everything that had happened with his last client.
"He knows I'm not blind." Whispered Christian in fear as his death god followed behind him. Christian took a deep breath to calm himself as he whispered, "The eraser should have brought them back. I'll be fine. They come back to life and no one will question me anymore. I'll be innocent."
Christian's thoughts stopped as he heard a few shouts come from the alleyway up ahead. Angry shouts of what he could hear. He made his way to the edge of the alleyway, just peeking in slightly, not to get anyone's attention when shock came over his body and was apparent in his eyes.
In the distance, at the end of the alley he could see the seven men he had just given life too. Christian stood there in fear, noticing how they were all huddled around and immediately knew they had another victim in the alley with them. Christian shook his head and quickly turned back into the corner so none of them could see him. His back was against the wall and his mind began to race. 'What should I do? I can't just let them hurt someone else.' Thought Christian as his hands began to shake, stuck between two decisions.

Dachi's body fell to the ground as it shook at the violent attacks that had been pushed upon it. The older man's wrists had been bound with the same fabric as his blindfold, but his feet were finally free from each other after enough struggling. Dachi continued to lay on the cold cement, his bare body laying in what he could smell as semen and blood.
Truth be told Dachi's pride had crumbled in the past twenty minutes. Each man, which he knew every single one of them had to be younger then him, managed to please themselves with his body and make sure he was defiled in anyway possible. Dachi didn't have any fight left in him as he heard laughter and footsteps around him.
Saliva dripped from Dachi's mouth, unable to control his body any longer after being raped by seven men. Dachi felt sick to his stomach, he wasn't much of a man now, he wouldn't be able to look at himself the same way, not after this.
"Pull him up!" Shouted the young boy as Dachi groaned in pain, feeling his body being pulled up slightly until he was now on his hands and knees. "Take the blindfold off of him." As quickly as the order came Dachi's eyes fluttered just slightly, taking in his sight once again. He received a harsh grip underneath his chin as he was forced to look up. The same boy smirked down at him in a taunting manner as he spoke, "Believe me, we're not done with you. I think I can go another round." Said the boy as Dachi's eyes shut, tears rolling out of them.
The counting was all that helped Dachi through this. He counted each man and hoped it would end at seven, but here the boy was again, ready for more. "Open your mouth." the demand came out loudly as Dachi narrowed his eyes and thrust his chin away from the boy's grasp. He told himself it was suppose to end already, but now the boy wanted to prolong the torture.
"Ah!" Dachi cried out, feeling the boy grip onto his hair, close to the scalp and pull upward. The boy kneeled down and smiled at Dachi as he replied, "You're going to open your mouth and deep throat all I give you. If you so dare as to even consider biting me..." With the boy's free hand he reached behind himself and quickly brought Dachi's gun up to his face.
"I will make sure this opens another hole into you, understood?" Asked the boy as Dachi's eyes softened in fear. He had to listen, it was his only hope to living. Dachi nodded his head to the best of his ability as the men laughed at Dachi's sorry state. Dachi waited for the worst, but was shocked to feel the release of his hair and the collapse of the boy in front of him, struggling; dying.
Dachi's eyes widened as he managed to fall on his side and look around him, seeing one man fall after another. They were all dying. Dachi's body continued to shake as he looked upward at the stars, he was starting to lose his strength to stay awake. Enough blood and adrenaline had gone through his body that is was amazing that he was still conscious.
Dachi heard footsteps coming closer to him in a fast pace. "Oh God! Are you all right?! Ma'am?!" Christian asked as he finally reached Dachi, but came to a stop in shock. Dachi turned his head and looked over at Christian in a slight daze.
"Oh my God...It's you." Whispered Christian as he kneeled down next to Dachi and looked over him in sadness. The first thing he could think of was covering Dachi up. Without thinking Christian pulled his coat off and covered Dachi's pelvis as he looked around in shock. "What should I do?" He asked, hoping someone could give him the answers when all of a sudden he heard a voice, "Hello? Does someone need help?"
Christian turned and looked at the man that was rushing their way. He recognized him, he had been with Dachi earlier. Christian looked down at Dachi and spoke quickly, "Please don't come after me. I saved your life." And with that Christian grabbed his walking stick and made his way into the next alleyway, getting away before Matsuda could catch sight of him.
"Hello?" Matsuda called out once again as he started to walk down the alleyway. He heard a small groan of pain and his eyes widened. Matsuda rushed forward to see seven dead, or unconscious, he wasn't quite sure at this moment, bodies and a person lying in the ground with nothing on but a coat covering his lower half. Pure fear coursed through Matsuda's being as he realized whom the man on the floor was.
"Dachi!" Matsuda cried out as he ran forward toward the battered body on the floor that was surrounded by blood. "Oh my god, Dachi…" Matsuda said as he dropped to his knees near the man; he didn't need to ask what happened, he figured it out easily enough. "Sato!" Matsuda yelled to make sure he got his attention.
"What is it, Matsuda?" Sato asked, worry evident at the urgent sound of his voice. "Call an ambulance! Get it over to Gerrard Street; Dachi and I are in an alleyway only a few buildings down from 'Elite London Escorts.' Hurry Sato! There's no time to explain right now, Dachi needs medical help now!" He yelled. He heard Sato panicking in the background before the line went dead.
Matsuda looked at the broken man on the cement before him. His eyes welled and tears started to make their way down Matsuda's face. Matsuda picked up the top part of Dachi's barley conscious body and laid his head in his lap. Matsuda's tears wouldn't stop flowing from his eyes as he started to comb out Dachi's hair softly with his fingers, trying to sooth him…though he knew that it might not help, "It'll be okay Dai…" Matsuda chocked out, "help will be here soon…I'm here; it'll be okay."
Dachi let out another groan as his eyes danced across the stars, it was obvious that Dachi didn't quite understand what was happening or who was holding him. Matsuda choked on his tears as he rocked just a little, trying any way possible to sooth Dachi.
"I'm here, Dai. I'm here." Matsuda said loud enough for Dachi to hear. Dachi closed his eyes for a moment as his head turned more towards Matsuda's body. As Matsuda combed the long orange strands out of Dachi's face, Dachi opened his eyes and finally took notice to Matsuda.
Tears developed in Dachi's eyes as well as anger as he looked away from Matsuda, not wanting him to see what he had gone through. Dachi tried to pull himself away from Matsuda, but Matsuda held him tightly. "Dachi! Please! Help will be here soon!" Matsuda pleaded as Dachi lost all strength to fight with Matsuda as he buried his head into the younger man's chest.
"Don't tell Sato." Was the only thing Dachi could get out before his body finally gave out and he fell into a deep sleep.
