Dangerous Love

Day Twenty-One: Travel


The next day, where both Luca and Aomine got the sleep they needed, the three of them discussed on what to do next.

"I know where your family is being held but we'll need to go back to Japan." Luca told Kasamatsu. "And if I'm right, the fake USB should still be doing its job running them in loops."

"You better be right..." Kasamatsu mumbled. He did not want to think about what would happen if they were to find out they were given a fake. The raven head rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Maybe we should leave tonight."

"Maybe. But rushing around isn't going to do us any good." Aomine revealed. "We need to come up with a new plan... I'll see what I can do, in case we need any favours..." The tanned man stood up as he pulled his cell phone from his pocket. He walked out of the room, leaving Kasamatsu and Luca alone.

Kasamatsu turned his eyes from the door to Luca. "I suppose you have all sorts of secret connections and stuff?" The teenager assumed.

Luca smirked. "I've got my fair share."

"Great." Despite sounding so sarcastic, Kasamatsu did think it was good for their situation. More help would be great but then again he was not sure who he could trust. The steel-blue eyed teenager rubbed his arm, getting lost in thought.

As far as he knew, they were going to use those mini-bombs as a distraction. If the distraction worked, Luca (and now Aomine) would take out the men who stayed behind and Kasamatsu would search for his mother and brothers. When he would find them, Kasamatsu would take them to where they were going to meet back up. As to how they were getting off the small island, he was not entirely sure yet. Kasamatsu just figured he would let Luca think about that part.

A knock on the door drew Kasamatsu from his thoughts. He glanced at the door, then to Luca. The Italian snorted and got up from his chair. "I bet that guy forgot his key-card." At his words, Kasamatsu rolled his eyes because it seemed liked something a focused Aomine would do.

"He's an idiot." Kasamatsu told Luca.

Luca opened the door to reveal an annoyed Aomine. "You forgot the key-card."

"I forgot it." Aomine confirmed begrudgingly. He stepped into the room and kicked the door closed. The royal blue eyed man looked at Kasamatsu, narrowing his eyes. "And don't think I didn't hear you, brat." He huffed before he took a step.

Aomine put his phone on the table, staring at it intently. "I talked to a couple of my friends – they said they'll be happy to help." The blue haired man turned his gaze to Luca, who nodded in return.

"I can't promise any extra men but I do know some people who owe me favours. I could get us a boat big enough for everyone."

"And everything." Aomine glanced at the mini-bombs which lay inside a big, brown box.

The brunette smirked. "Don't worry, our travel plans are taken care of."

Kasamatsu nodded and leaned back in his seat, staring at a speck on the table. He smiled slightly, feeling happy that they were going to be getting his family back. He was still upset that his father had sent them away but hopefully whoever they were with was taking care of them. Kasamatsu's smile melted, suddenly wondering who exactly their 'family friend' was.

The teenager thought about his parents friends and he was sure his father would not drag any of them into their problems. 'Unless he just said it was a family friend but really someone he worked with...' Kasamatsu resisted the urge to groan in annoyance. He rubbed at his face, wishing everything was less complicated.

At the sound of footsteps, Kasamatsu looked up. He watched Luca tap away on his cell, probably sending a message of some sort. He turned his steel-blue colored eyes to Aomine who was just leaning back in his chair. "Aomine," Kasamatsu called, catching the older man's attention.

"Hmn?" Aomine grunted.

Kasamatsu pursed his lips. The young man gave Aomine a pointed look before he continued, "Who were these friends you contacted? Do I... Have I seen any of them?"

Maybe looked away, avoiding Kasamatsu's piercing eyes. "Maybe..." The assassin whispered as he leaned his head in his palm, staring at the black television screen. "Or maybe not."

Kasamatsu sighed. "Stop with your stupid mind games. I've had enough of that..."

"Right... My bad," Aomine's apology attempt made Kasamatsu snort. The blue haired male wet his lips, "Okay, fine. I may have talked to my shadow-friend, who in turn talked to the idiot and... the beast."

"What kind of nicknames are those?" Kasamatsu stared at Aomine incredulously. "This beast guy better be scary..."

"Not really." Aomine chuckled. "He's kinda like me..."

"Oh, god..." Kasamatsu pinched the bridge of his nose.

Aomine glared at the younger man. "I'm not that bad, Yukio." He told the teenager. "Besides, you've already met him..." With that, Aomine peeled his attention away from the teen, pretending to take an interest in the flyer that was left on the table.

Kasamatsu stared at Aomine. He mulled over who it could have been. He only met a few of the people Aomine knew. His mind drifted back to the two-toned red head he met a couple times. Once at the grocery store then the time when he came barring bad news for Aomine. 'Kagami-san doesn't seem like a beast...' The noirette thought, frowning.

"So, Yukio," Luca roused the younger man from his thoughts. "Did you want to learn how to use that gun yet?"

Kasamatsu perked up. "Really? Even though we never really finished our fight?"

"Speaking of..." Aomine interrupted, eyes narrowed. "Why were you two so close?"

Luca replied with a nonchalant shrug. "It was just training. Yukio is pretty good at hand-to-hand combat, you know."

"Oh, really." Aomine huffed. The tall man had his arms crossed over his chest. He glanced at Kasamatsu and was about to question the teen about his apparent skills but when he looked at Kasamatsu, the teen was staring at his feet, cheeks tinted red. Aomine glared.

Kasamatsu felt Aomine's heated glare but he ignored it. He was thinking back to yesterday when Luca had randomly licked his eye. It was odd but the more he thought about it, Kasamatsu realized that when he did that, the stinging pain from the sweat in his eye had stopped. The raven head shook his head, not understanding the things Luca knew.

The high school student got up, deciding to focus on his current objective. "Of course I want to learn how to. Like you said, I might need to when..." Kasamatsu trailed off.

He was sure Aomine and Luca have shot many people, maybe even killed dozens. Maybe more. But Kasamatsu has never purposely hurt anyone before. To suddenly be put on the spot, pit against men who kidnapped his mother and little brother – Kasamatsu was sure he would do it. Anything to get his family back safe and sound.

"Yukio," Luca's soft voice brought him back to the present. Kasamatsu blinked. He looked to see Luca and Aomine standing by the door. "Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Kasamatsu asked, brows furrowed.

Luca raised his eyebrow at him, as if silently asking 'really?'. "Where do you think? The shooting range."

"Oh." Kasamatsu should have known.

xXx

Kasamatsu's first attempt at shooting a gun nearly made him teeter from the kick. He flushed from embarrassment as Aomine laughed at him, the assassin being silenced as Luca smacked him. Aomine's grunt of pain made the teenager feel somewhat better but Kasamatsu was determined to shoot the gun properly.

He wrapped his hands tightly around the handle and aimed at the target sheet hanging far back once more. Kasamatsu's tongue poked out from the corner of his mouth as he focused on his aim. He pulled the trigger. Kasamatsu lowered the weapon, frowning when he noticed that he completely missed the target. At least he managed not to flinch.

"Again," Luca said softly, his hands moving the teenager's arms up. The hitman moved Kasamatsu into position and helped the raven head aim. When he thought he was good, Luca told Kasamatsu to pull the trigger.

Kasamatsu did as he was told and pulled the trigger. He blinked from the loud bang, the kick from the gun ringing in his body. The steel-blue eyed man lowered the gun and stared at the target which now had a hole in its chest. Kasamatsu smiled.


Ohmergawd- They are turning Kasamatsu into a bad boyyy *dies*
