This has a little cousin loving in it aswell and there will be a follow on in the next chapter. :)

Kono sat in Chins office, lounged on the couch, her hands in her lap, twirling her thumbs. She had hoped the 'will talk later' will never come but of course it did. Chin was never going to let it slide, the fact his baby cousin was seeing the head of the yakuza.

"You alright?" Chin asked as he entered the office, genuine concern in his voice.

Kono looked up like a dear caught in headlights. She noticed Danny and Steve hovering by the smart table, the quick glances over.

"I feel like a child in trouble" Kono mumbled.

Chin looked over his shoulder to the guys. He didn't mean to make her feel little, but he also needed to talk to her like the big brother he was. He also knew Steve and Danny were just concerned.

"There going" He said with a nod to the guys.

Kono relaxed a little but she still didn't like the stare of Chin as he leant against the desk, looking down on her. She felt like she was sixteen again when he told her off for drinking and night surfing.

"Cuz…"

"Kono…when did this start, whats going on between you and Adam?"

Kono took a calming breath and looked up to her cousin.

"Were seeing each other"

"What does that mean, are you in a relationship or just sleeping with him?" Chin almost snapped.

He hated to bring up her sex life, it wasn't something he needed to know about but he was equally protective and didn't want her jumping in bed with random guys like yakuza.

"Yes were sleeping together but he's my boyfriend Chin, he's not a random one night stand" Kono replied firmly.

"How long?"

"Three months"

Chin sighed he didn't know how he hadn't noticed. He then thought back to the text she got a few weeks ago that had her glowing from head to toe. He had completely forgotten all about it.

"How did you meet him?"

"Chin this isn't an interrogation" Kono groaned.

"Cuz…just answer me please"

"The royal hawaiian…I was there with Keana and Rai but they left early, I sat at the bar to finish my drink and Adam started talking to me"

"Did you not know who he was?" Chin almost snapped.

"Chin don't get angry at me Im not a child"

Chin bowed his head and calmed down.

"I'm sorry…"

"I knew of him. I remembered when we had looked into Hiro at work and Adam had popped up. I knew that he had ties to the yakuza, I knew exactly what you and everyone else would say to me and I knew I was probably getting myself into something but he was so nice to me. He realised who I was and we both knew what we were getting into. He didn't pressure me he just brought me a few drinks, we chatted…and you know" Kono mumbled not wanting to say out loud that she had slept with him that night.

Chin rolled his eyes and tensed his fists.

"You slept with him the night you met him?"

"Don't go judging me about who I sleep with I'm an adult"

"I know"

"Chin I really like him" Kono said honestly.

Chin knew Kono was stubborn and he could see in her eyes that she really had something.

"How have you kept this so secret?"

"Hotel rooms" Kono said simply.

"Kono what he did today…"

"I know…I know cuz"

"He tied you up and left you, he was going to kill Wo Fat!"

"I KNOW" Kono snapped, tears forming in her eyes. "Do you think I wanted you to find out like this, and then find me in that position. I knew you would be mad and then to have you see what he did, it's humiliating for me, and that's partly his fault, I know all this cuz" Kono said sadly, a sob escaping her.

Chin knelt in front of her, taking her face in his hands.

"I know your not stupid Kono, and clearly you and Adam have something…I trust you but I don't trust him and I certainly don't condone what he has done to you today but I will let you deal with it" Chin said softly.

Kono could tell it was taking a lot for Chin to remain calm and not go and punch Adam but she appreciated it. She didn't agree with what Adam did to her today, she was pissed but she also understood that Adam's emotions had taken over and his intentions had been to protect her.

"I need to talk to him Chin"

"Yeah"

"I appreciate you protecting me cuz"

Chin smiled and pulled Kono into a hug, kissing her cheek and standing up with her.

"I'll drop you to your car"

Kono hadn't spoken to Adam since he was taken into custody the night before. She knew he had been released after caution and he had tried ringing her seven times and left multiple voicemails. She didn't want to ignore him, she just didn't know what to say to him. She eventually text him and told him she would get in contact when she was ready. He had pleaded an apology and it was left at that.

Two day's later she had decided she was ready. She text him to meet her at their normal hotel room in an hour. She waited outside a moment before knocking.

"Kono"

She took a breath at his appearance. He wore her favourite blue shirt, the one she liked to wear.

"Hey"

Kono wanted to fight for a moment, she wanted to yell and be angry but she was also so relieved that their relationship was out there, she wanted to hug him and kiss him and then slap him maybe.

"I'm so mad!" She sobbed before throwing herself into his arms, sobbing into his neck and dampening his shirt

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry baby" He whispered into her hair, chocking on his own sobs.

He led her into the room,sitting on the bed with her perched on his lap, still sobbing slightly.

"Kono…"

"No let me speak" Kono said firmly as she wiped her tears and stood up. "I was humiliated today Adam, Chin finding me like that and knowing you did it. You hurt me Adam…you grabbed me and forced me to remain still so you could tie me up. You left me there on my own…Your supposed to protect me" Kono ranted angrily.

Adam bowed his head in embarrassment before looking back at Kono. He reached out his hands for her to take. She did so and walked forward, standing between his legs looking down into his apologetic eyes.

"I'm so, so sorry for what I did, for hurting you. I promise you Kono, I will never lay a finger on you again, I will never hurt you…Please baby don't leave me" Adam sobbed, his walls coming down as he poured his heart out.

Kono hiccuped on a sob and straddled his lap, pulling him in for a kiss, their tears mingling and mixing in there kiss.

"I'm not leaving you Adam, I'm just angry"

"I guess your cousin wasn't to happy"

"No not really…but he knows it's my choice"

"Can I make it up to you…or try"

Kono smiled and kissed him again, hands wandering a little.

"Hmmm" Kono moaned and pulled back.

"Not tonight…I just need some time. I need tonight" Kono said honestly.

Adam nodded and peppered kisses on her wrists where he had tied her up before leaving one on her lips before she stood.

"Call me tomorrow" Kono said softly as he walked her to the door.

"I will"

Kono smiled, she wanted to stay with him but she also needed to think. She was falling for Adam and that scared her, she needed to sleep on all her thoughts and feelings.

"Adam…call me" Kono said with a smile as she kissed him goodbye.

He stood at the door and watched her walk down to the elevator, he felt his heart tense in fear of loosing her but her demands to ring her made him realise she still wanted him and he closed the door to sleep on his own thoughts and feelings.
