In this chapter, Keigo acted someone that was different from himself in the casino. To gain information from other families he was only known as Keigo, the host while facing the abducted Kanade, he introduced as Kazama , Kurofune's right hand and Yuto's partner. He rarely returned to their mansion due to his host's work.

One month passed, Koutsu Shingo couldn't find any lead where and what happened to Kanade while keeping every details secret from other families to secure their safety and status. Once they learned that a family boss gone missing, threats and challenges will come one by one to make sure their organization falls down.

Kurofune also erased evidences about the incident. Thanks to Keigo, everything was manipulated especially the cctv footage in and out side the casino. Despite Yuto really did win in their game, abducting a person for some kind of revenge purpose was somewhat kind of lame reason for a powerful organization like KUROFUNE. Better to think that the young boss gone missing or worst, being killed.

Yuto was getting irritated and losing interest to his chastisement. His one goal was make Kanade begged into his feet and asked him to kill him already but all he got were resilient eyes and never heard any complaints from the young man.

One late afternoon, Keigo decided to pay a visit and only welcomed by Yuto who was quietly looking outside city scenery from his glass window.

"You seems irritated, why?", Keigo mindlessly asked but Yuto looked like he was not in the mood for nonsense chitchat. " I will stay a bit here since there are no more valuable information from that place yet. I do not know if that family knew that their boss was missing"

"They knew but they can't do anything. ", Yuto remarked.

" So, how's he?", Keigo inquired and of course, he still cared for the young man for they already in good terms while he was staying in casino, though keeping away the fact that he was actually a spy and right hand of Kurofune.

Yuto began to walk towards the door.

"Yuto?! Where are you going?"

"Anywhere... I leave those documents to you", he yawned and completely out of the office. Keigo just shook his head and sighed.

Mean while in Kanade's room, he was just sitting quietly near the window. Eyes were half lidded and it clearly shown some bruises in his face and some parts of his body.

" I wonder how long I can able to handle everything. If I give up, I don't know if Kurofune will target any of our family members, especially Junya... I can't forgive myself if I let it happen ", he thought and stared in the red roses bloomed outside.

Those colors reminded him of the eyes of his punisher. Beautiful but there was sadness mirrored on those eyes that he cannot understand. Kuroishi had everything-money, power and fame... was there something lacking? Deep in thought that he started to sing a calming song...

Yuto just walked, busy thinking of what else he could do aside from whipping until interrupted by a beautiful song coming from somewhere. Being captivated, he decided to search for the source and only to stop to a familiar room. " That song... ", Yuto whispered as he gently turning the door knob.

He slightly opened the door and saw Kanade sitting near the small window. His body leaning over the small table while looking at the beautiful rose garden outside. He was happily humming the said melody that caught his ears and still not aware of his presence. The sunset light from window only gave a serene atmosphere inside the room.

Yuto lingered for mean time not just for that beautiful melody but also looking at the young man who was not just beautiful infront of his eyes but a person full of hope and happiness despite of the things he had gone through. He wondered what kind of reasons that make this guy still able to endure all these hardships. Yes, he might not be the one who killed his friends but he was still the leader. Perfect person to inflict any damages what his family members did, or is it?
He was back in the reality after the melody was stop only to find out that Kanade already fell asleep. Without thinking he entered the room.

" This guy...", Yuto thought and decided to take off his suit placing it over Kanade who was still sleeping soundly.

After that he left. Keigo was busy when he arrived in his office. The blonde glanced and was relieved that his partner's mood change, though he was not wearing his suit anymore.

" I just hope you can continue doing these paperworks since you are not irritated at this moment..", Keigo said as he arranged those paperworks back to Yuto's desk.

"Uh..I guess...", Yuto just lazily replied and just stared at those documents placed in front of him. "Keigo..."

"Hm? Please don't tell me that you are not working with those papers today... I-"

"Check Amamiya..", Yuto cut him off before he could finished his words.

Keigo was bit surprised but couldn't help not to smile upon seeing how serious Yuto in the part that he was now permitted to see Kanade.

" I'm off then..."

He decided to take medicine kit and food with him, wondering Kanade's current status. He gently knocked on the door but since no one was answering, he let himself in. The young boss was still sleeping where Yuto's suit placed over him.

"I get it...", Keigo smiled as he approached Kanade. "Who would thought he can be this cute... I will not get surprise if one day someone will change ", he spoke to himself and only found himself caressing Kanade's soft hair.

Kanade languidly woke up. As he slowly opened his eyes, he saw a familiar figure and being excited he ended up mistaking Keigo as someone and joyfully embraced him, almost jumped out in his seat. "Junya-kun!"

"Hmm..It's a pleasure being embrace by a cute princess..."

Kanade frozed upon hearing it and slowly latched away to the person whom he thought was Junya.

"K-Keigo-kun?...", Kanade surprisingly voiced out and still hesitant if the guy in front of him was really Keigo the host in casino. Only confirmed that he was wrong the second time around when the guy gently shook his head.

His eyes and color of hair had resemblance with Keigo but only hair was brushed up and this one was a conscientious type of person.

"He is handsome... he might look like Keigo-kun but he is more like a prince... completely opposite of Kuroishi...", Kanade thought as he lowered his head being embarrassed by sudden hugging someone.

"I let it slip this time, Princess..", Keigo smiled and teased " I wonder if those guys are someone you like or... "

" I'm sorry... i-it's not like that...", Kanade shook his head and visibly flustered. He sat still not looking to Keigo. Wait, did this guy thought he was a girl?

"Oh well, I'm just curious if what kind of prize Yuto took here... never thought its quite a cute one... ", Keigo winked and reminded himself "I better keep this act and make him believe its our first meeting"

Kanade just remained embarrassed and he was surprised when Keigo suddenly touched his cheek.

" It's Kazama... and you are?"

"Ah- It's Kanade... and... actually-"

"Nice name which suits you...", Keigo smiled sweetly and picked the medicine kit beside him. "It seems Yuto overdid it...", Keigo remarked as he hold Kanade's left arm to put a cream on bruise part.

"Please don't... you might get involved and Kuroishi-san will..." Kanade worriedly said declining Keigo's offered treatment.

"Don't worry, he might looked strict and heartless but he still listen to my demand... " Keigo said as he continued treating his bruises. "He is not totally a bad guy...plus, there is no way I let him overdo this especially towards you, Princess "

"Uhm, Kazama-san... actually... I'm a g-guy... ", Kanade finally pointed out and sadly thought, " If he know right away that I'm a man.. he might change his approach to me and it will end my assumption that he is a good man"

Keigo suddenly stopped and looked surprised at him. Kanade visibly noticed that Kazama was bit embarrassed for mistaken him a lady.

" Ah~My bad, I keep on calling you that way... forgive me if its make you feel uncomfortable... ", Keigo shyly apologized and continued treating his wounds. " I still can't believe that you are man... I mean you are way too cute " he winked.

"I-It's alright. I also mistaken you as one of my friends... so I think, we're even now?", Kanade responded and unintentionally gave his heart pounding smile making Keigo blushed.

They talked some stuffs like hobbies while treating Kanade's back which were severely injured. There were times, Kanade flinched but its understandable since some wounds were not totally healed up and some opened up again. Keigo also offered the meal he brought after he was done bandaging Kanade's body.

"Better rest and I hope I can able to visit you again in my spare time... If only I can keep you as mine instead... ", Keigo jokingly remarked and guided Kanade to lay down.

"Thank you, Kazama-kun... You are so kind ", Kanade sweetly said and smiled. "I looked forward to your next visit.."

Keigo nodded and only left the room once he assured Kanade was completely dozed off. He quickly changed to his usual self as he went back to Yuto's office. Yup, he agreed to the idea of abducting the young boss but he can't just shrugged off the idea of that kind of chastisement.

" Yuto!"

" uhn? " Yuto yawned as Keigo approached his table.

" Can you just take a break on this? ", Keigo slammed his hands on Yuto's table.

"Ah, you finally decided to finish these papers then...", Yuto uttered pushing the papers toward his partner.

"Not these... and stop being lazy doing your part, Yuto! Listen, stop that kind of chastisement to Amamiya...", Keigo angrily said.

Yuto just smirked on Keigo and turn his chair to the side.

" Tell one reason why should I?"

" Come on, Yuto. You just said that killing him at once is not worth it but as I what I can see you are in the brink of that idea of doing so... It's just a month passed and I can not longer tell if that guy will still able to wake up one morning... Why don't you think of any other punishment aside of whipping him to death?!"

"Like?"

"Made him a servant or anything if you really want him to stay longer... ", Keigo suggested.

"I think about it...remember that I don't intend to keep him forever. I can see you are being soft again, Keigo", Yuto responded and looked at his partner eye to eye.

" I'm not being soft... ", Keigo uttered. " I know the hardship you went through after that incident and I am just being careful that you are inflicting the same hardship to the right culprit. We still have vague informations about their deaths,right? "

"There's no need. That symbol I saw was none other than Amamiya's family... There is no room for mercy Keigo... you should remember that. I make sure that I break him slowly", Yuto contended wearing a deadly expression even Keigo couldn't say any word.
