Author's note:
Looking out of the window in the office, Asami, Kirishima, Suoh, and Akihito watch as Mikhail and his group gather outside the main entrance. Kirishima turns to answer the phone when it rings. Placing the caller on hold, Kirishima turns, "Arbatov is on the line Asami-sama."
Taking the phone from Kirishima, he removes the hold and says, "Asami."
"Asami play time is over, surrender and no harm will come to the young man you keep near you. I'll make sure he's...well taken care of."
"What makes you think you'll be able to enter my building, much less be able to get anywhere near what is mine?"
"Is that why Yuri was returned to us with parasite demons inside of him? It's taken a lot of magic just to slow those things down."
"He tried reaching for something that is mine, he's lucky I allowed him to leave my building alive."
"Lucky!? You put parasite demons in him! How can being eaten alive from the inside be called lucky!? I had to put three sorcerers on him to keep those things slowed enough to keep him alive. I'm told the only way to remove them is for the one who placed them to recall them."
"Admit you were responsible for ordering him to take what belongs to me. Admit you supplied him with things to aid him with those orders, and I'll be willing to recall them."
"I don't have to admit anything to you." Mikhail lets out a noise of irritation when Asami hangs up on him. "Find a way in!" He orders those behind him.
A couple hours later, Akihito pushes away from his desk to look out the window at the men below.
"Akihito."
He turns from the window to see Asami motioning him over. Pulled onto his lap, Asami takes his chin, looks into his eyes, and notes the worry there.
"You're like a kitten stuck up in a tree because wolves are circling down below."
"I am not!"
"My own kitten..." He runs his hands up Akihito's shirt and pulls it off. Akihito's back arches as Asami takes a nipple into his mouth, one hand caressing his spine and the other teasing his other nipple. A shiver wracks his body as his and Asami's desire rush through him.
Threading his fingers through Akihito's hair, Asami takes his time holding his boy close. Inhaling their mingling scents, Asami closes his eyes as the tantalizing smell has his inner panther purring as if rolling in a pile of cat nip.
Akihito lets out a little sound, rubbing his cheek against Asami's shoulder before settling back into his exhausted nap.
Asami spends some time relaxing in his chair with Akihito napping on his lap after their activities, enjoying the precious moments holding his exhausted napping kitten.
Standing, he takes Akihito over to the couch and lays him down. Going to the bathroom he cleans up then brings a wet towel over to clean Akihito up.
Sitting at his desk, Asami finishes up a stack of papers just as an icon on his computer lights up. Reading the message, he thinks for a moment then calls Kirishima.
"Looks like they finally managed to get in through the side entrance, the alarm system has started."
"Understood, the guards are already in position and have just received the signal to start."
After hanging up, Asami grabs some items from his desk, then goes to the couch to wake Akihito from his nap. Stretching, he looks up at Asami and Asami smirks at the sleepy kitten gazing at him.
"We're going upstairs kitten."
Akihito looks at Asami as they go to a door instead of going to the elevator. Entering the room, the light comes on and Asami goes over to a rune in the middle. Standing on the rune, he watches as Akihito looks at the rune's details.
"A transport rune?"
"Correct. Each floor has one that only those I've cleared can activate and use."
Stepping onto the rune, Asami transports them to their floor. Leaving the room, Akihito realizes the room is next to his darkroom. Going to the living room, Asami goes to the couch, sits down, and pats the spot next to him.
"Spread out, search the floor, if you find anyone, take them to the room over there." Mikhail orders as he points to a meeting room on the first floor. "I want this floor cleared before we move to the next floor. I don't want any ambushes from behind as we go up."
Leaving enough men to guard the entrances and exits on the first floor, Mikhail moves floor to floor.
Certain rooms they couldn't gain access to, so he had his sorcerers use their detection magic to make sure the rooms they couldn't check were empty. It wasn't until they got close to the floor Asami's office was on did Mikhail and his men start encountering Asami's men.
He sent wolf shifters to attack the barricade while a couple sorcerers prepared spells to immobilize or knock out Asami's men. After the small "skirmish" at the first barricade, Mikhail pauses, frowning at the thought that this first fight was a little too easily won.
Continuing on, it wasn't until he was just floors away from Asami's personal floor that none of the men he had left on previous floors reported for expected check-ins. Determined, he pushes forward to the floor just below Asami's.
Searching the floor, they find no stairs going to the top floor. Mikhail has his men pry open the elevator doors. Looking up the shaft, he sees doors for the top floor. He sends his strongest up the emergency ladder to open the doors. Once open, he goes up followed by the rest of his group.
Walking forward he sees Asami sitting on a couch with the boy laying with his head on Asami's lap, and his top two standing at each end. He could see the setting sun framed by the floor to ceiling windows. Focusing his attention back on Asami and the boy, Mikhail waiting for the rest of his men to gather behind him, watches as Asami slides his fingers through the boy's hair.
"I know you're an impatient fool, but I didn't think you a foolish idiot to believe you could actually breach my domain if I didn't allow it."
I knew there was something off with how fast we got past his men at the barricades. He steps forward, stopping when the two at each end of the couch also step forward, moving slightly in front of the couch.
Hearing a door open, Mikhail looks over as Feilong steps into the room and walks over to the couch. After bowing to Asami, Feilong turns and faces Mikhail's group.
"The head of your organization has been notified of your actions. He has requested that we return you alive, but the condition you are returned has been left up to Asami."
"My actions are nothing more than..."
"Your actions were not cleared by your boss, though I'm sure you are fully aware of that. The head of your organization should not have to explain his orders, or the reason for those orders, to a selfish child like you."
"Why!? Why the hell am I not allowed to even compete against Asami!?"
Asami hold his hand out, stopping Feilong from replying.
"Your antics prove you are not in the same league as those here. You act out on your childish impulses because you have an inflated sense of power. Over estimating you power in your organization or against others is the fastest way to get yourself killed. I will make sure you have a clear understanding of just how little power you have before you get returned."
Mikhail throws a charm and vial towards the couch, Kirishima raises a barrier just as Feilong lets out a stream of fire.
In shock Mikhail stutters, "S..sh...shadow flame!?" He stares at Feilong, "How can you be a shadow dragon? They are all loyally bound to Hades..." His eyes go from Feilong to Asami, understanding now filtering through him.
The ding of the elevator barely registers as Asami's men exit out of the now activated elevator. After Mikhail's men were gone, Suoh and Kirishima take Mikhail down to a holding room.
Only after everyone else was gone from the floor did Asami lower the barrier that he had raised just before Mikhail had reached his floor.
His father had long ago told him what the fates had foretold after his birth, and he had no doubt that Takaba Akihito was his. Akihito's everything belonged to him, he would take no chances with his most precious light's life.
He lets his hands wander over Akihito's body, drawing moans from him as he caresses and strokes certain spots.
During the night, Asami wakes up when he feels someone "knock" on the barrier around his building. Recognizing the aura of the one outside, he allows him entrance. He gets out of bed without waking Akihito and pulls on his robe before going out to the living room. Acknowledging the one standing there, he waits to hear what he's come to say.
"I apologize for Arbatov's assault earlier."
Looking at Zeus' wolf before him, something falls into place. "You had interactions with one of their ancestors?"
"Yes, as a result, I had bestowed a gift to that ancestor, which is why they carry just a hint of their ancestor's former protection I granted so long ago."
So he's the hint of wolf Akihito pointed at on first meeting Arbatov.
"I know of the two favors you need, you have one from me as thanks for not killing Arbatov, even though I'm sure he deserved it."
"I accept."
Minutes later, he gets back into bed, relaxing back into sleep when Akihito snuggles against him.
