AN: A bit of a harsh chapter

CHAPTER SUMMARY: The life Akihito led

"Congratulations on your Alpha son, Takaba-san, Takaba-san."

The Takabas looked down at their newborn son, then back up at the doctor. Disbelief written on their faces. "Ummm.… don't you mean our Omega son?" Takaba Haru questioned.

"Nope. Your son is an Alpha."

"But he is only five pounds!" Takaba Haru just couldn't believe it.

"Yes he is very small for an Alpha. He will most likely grow though. Have no fear for your son."

Takaba Haru didn't think the doctor was correct. His son was a mere five pounds. He would never be a proper Alpha. What good would the kid be than? Unlike her husband, Takaba Junko wasn't bothered by her son's size. She thought her baby was the most adorable child ever born.

Two days later, the Takabas left the hospital with their newborn Alpha child. Once home, Haru went straight to the fridge and pulled out a beer. Tossing it back, he pulled out another and plopped down on the couch where he remained for the rest of the day. Junko set about her chores. Cleaning, cooking and seeing to the bills. Her precious little Akihito tucked against her chest, strapped into his carrier.

~BORN TOO SMALL~

Life was can for the first five years. Takaba Haru spent his time either st work or sitting on the couch drinking his beers. He never paid any attention to his son, wanting nothing to do with a useless Alpha born far too small. Junko dotted on her son, showing him off to all her friends and going all out for his birthdays. Life was good.

Then little Akihito stared school. As an Alpha, Akihito attended Stay Strong Academy. A school solely for Alphas. From the first day there were problems. The other students thought it was funny that Akihito was so small. Whenever the teachers weren't looking, they would shove Akihito. Hit him and even put gum in his hair. As Akihito grew older, the simple picking became full on bulling. He was beaten more times than anyone could count. He suffered broken bones, fractures and bruises. Akihito's mother, Junko was always down at the school demanding that their be punishment for those who hurt her son and for the teachers to be reprimanded for allowing the bulling to take place. The school never took her concerns seriously. While Junko was outraged on her son's mistreatment, Haru thought it was funny. Informing the little Alpha that it was what he got for being a fake Alpha.

As Akihito grew older, things only worsened. Wanting her son to be able defend himself, Junko enrolled Akihito into a martial arts school. No one expected much from the tiny Alpha, but Akihito proved them wrong. He excelled, quickly becoming the top of his class and a black belt faster than was normal. Akihito participated in tournaments, where he was an undefeated champion in both his weight class and in the heavier league.

Akihito stayed at Stay Strong Academy for Hus regular schooling. The students continued to bully him until one day Akihito snapped and sent his attacker to the hospital. The school tried to suspend Akihito but as he was the victim of the attack, they were quickly shut down on that front. The display of his strength sent the bullies scurrying. The display of course brought on a whole new mess however. Other Alphas who felt the need to prove themselves, constantly challenged Akihito to battles. Akihito always won of course. Even when the others tried to cheat by having friends gang up on him.

While things at school got somewhat better, things at home worsened. Akihito's father, Haru was an Alpha. Not the best example of an Alpha, but an Alpha none the less. Haru who once looked down on his son, seeing him as nothing but week and pathetic, now found himself threatened by his son. In order to keep his dominance, Haru took to beating his son and wife. No matter how bad a beating was, Akihito never cried and did his best to defend his beloved mother. Akihito fought back. Sending his father down on his ass. However, Akihito quickly stopped fighting back. Having learned that it only caused his mother to suffer more at the hands of his father.

At the age of thirteen, Akihito's life fell apart. He came home from school to find his mother dead on the food of their tiny apartment. His father was on top of her, desecrating her body with his own. Akihito's vision went red with rage. He attacked his father. There was no thought to the attack. None of his martial arts training came to the fore. It was straight up brutality. Akihito knocked his father off his mother. He punched his father repeatedly in the face. Haru tried to defend himself, but Akihito was an unstoppable force. Haru was a bloody mess by the time Akihito finished him off by digging his fingers into his father's throat and ripped it out with his bare hands.

With his father dying, Akihito went to Hus mother and pulled her body close. He held her tight as he cried, the last of his heart dying as the tears fell. Hours later, that was how the detectives Kirishima Kei and Suoh Kazumi found the young Alpha.

~BORN TOO SMALL~

Kirishima Kei and Suoh Kazumi took the young Alpha as their own. They fought in his behalf when the law tried to imprison him. They even bright in District Attorney, Kruoda Shinji to hep. With the two Alphas and the Beta working together, all charges were dropped as it was determined that Akihito was acting in self defense.

Akihito spent that first year after his mother's murder in a fog, numbed to the world. The second year, his darker self emerged. He attacked anyone who so much as looked at him funny. He was suspended multiple times. Kei, Kazumi and Shinji fought to keep Akihito on track but it was all in vain. That third year, Akihito began to cable in the underworld. He started out as a mere debt collector but was soon bumped up assassin within that first year. The crime lords would soon regret their acceptance of Takaba Akihito into their world. In the fourth year after his mother's murder, Akihito assassinated his boss and claimed his organization as his own.

By the age of nineteen, Takaba was the most fears yakuza boss in the underworld and the biggest businessman in all of Japan. He was the richest man in the world and the most wanted bachelor in all the world. Kirishima Kei became Akihito's personal secretary and second in command. The Beta had no problems with leaving his life as a detective behind. Akihito was like his very own son and hr loved the young Alpha as if he was his own. He also enjoyed helping Akihito build his new life and has no qualms about their underworld business dealings. Even torture and killing didn't other him. Suoh Kazumi also left his life as a detective behind. He joined his mate, Kei, in Akihito's new world. Becoming the head if Akihito's security team was also a second in command. He participated in underground business deals. Torture, killing. He did it all for the younger Alpha. Kruoda Shinji also left his life behind for Akihito. The DA became Akihito's personal attorney. He didn't deal with the illegal business, torture and killing as Akihito knew he could be disbarred by participating in illegal acts.

Akihito was no longer an Alpha born too small and easy to pick on. He was now the top dog and everyone bowed down to him.
