Chapter 36

By KellyQ

Sayer looked up when his cell door opened. A smile made its way to his lips. He rose to his feet, reached out, and pulled Akiza close. Mr. Izayoi watched closely as he walked in behind Akiza and sat across from them.

Akiza smiled. "Sayer, this is my father, Hideo. Dad, this is Sayer."

Hideo and Sayer gave each other a nod, before Sayer averted his gaze back to Akiza.

"I'm glad to see you. When we talked last, you sounded stressed. Is everything all right, my dear?"

"I'm a little stressed out about work," Akiza admitted as Sayer rubbed her back. "A friend hit his head, and now he needs help."

"Who's this friend you're talking about?" Sayer asked, moving his hand away.

"Kiryu Kyosuke."

The tension in the air spiked.

"I'm sorry to hear that one of Yusei's friends hit his head," Sayer said. "How is the poor lad taking it?" he asked referring to Yusei.

He liked the thought of him suffering. Sayer always thought that Yusei was nothing more than a perverted slut with no class.

Akiza sighed. "Kiryu is alright," she said avoiding the topic about Yusei. Akiza knew that they didn't like each other, and never would. "I was going to stay there and help out, but I wanted to see you."

A soft smile made its way to his lips, and the vibe changed. Sayer was actually touched. He knew that he should let the past go, and his old feelings of how things turned out between the three of them. At the end, they both helped Akiza get better.

Akiza smiled in return and pulled him close. "Despite what you have done, I still love you, Sayer," she murmured.

"It's time to go," came a guard's voice.

Hideo rose to his feet, moved behind his daughter and placed a comforting on her shoulder. "It's time for us to go, sweetie."

Akiza nodded her head and pulled away. She turned and followed her dad out to the car.

"Akiza, can you tell me what happened between you three? It will help me understand where you're coming from with all this."

Hideo knew that there were dislikes between Yusei and Sayer. He just didn't get why they couldn't come to an understanding.

"Sayer is the jealous type ... he thought Yusei was just in the way ... even after I broke up with him, Sayer tried to drown him."

Akiza thought she had blocked the memory out of her mind. She never thought Sayer was the type of person to go as far as trying to kill people. It wasn't until later she concluded that Sayer just wanted her for himself. Ever since then, Akiza had been trying to prove to him that she still loved him and no one was trying to take her.

Hideo nodded his head and rubbed his daughter's back in a comforting gesture. "How about I take you out for some ice cream," he offered.

A smile made its way to Akiza's lips. "Thanks dad, you're the best." She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

A few moments of sitting there, Sayer sighed. He remembered what he did to Yusei and the look he gave him.

A gunshot rang throughout the dark room. Yusei scrambled behind some thick pipes and pressed himself against the wall. That damn bastard lied to me when he called saying that Akiza was in trouble!

"Come out, come out where ever you are!" Sayer taunted. His silhouette moved close to where Yusei was hiding. "Let's settle this once and for all!"

Yusei moved along the pipes quietly, away from getting hit. Selfish bastard! He had better not had hurt Akiza! Besides, I haven't done anything! More anger welled when he concluded that Sayer must've interrupted what was going on all wrong.

"Playing is so like you," Sayer spoke up, seeing that his prey wasn't going to come out. A cruel smirk made its way to his lips. There was more than one way to get Yusei to come out. "But then again, I like to play game,s too. Isn't that how you got close to Akiza?"

"Where is she?" came Yusei's voice. He stepped out from where he was hiding.

Sayer turned and pointed his gun at him. "Ah. So the kinky slut has finally come out ..."

Yusei didn't flinch, nor did he care being called names. He didn't even care if he was shot as long as he got some answers.

"Why?" Yusei asked in a cold uncaring tone. There was betrayal in his eyes. "Why would you do something like this? Do you really want to make her sadder than she already is?"

Sayer growled and fired his gun, but he missed by a few inches. The bullet hit one of the pipes and water sprayed out. Yusei glanced over his shoulder and his eyes widened. He looked back to see that Sayer was gone and the door to the room closed and locked.

Sayer laid back on his hard bed. Not once did he feel sorry for what he did, but he was going to make sure that he wasn't going to make Akiza sad ever again.
