It Began on the Streets
Part 14
Ryoma really hated the police. They were incompetent, ignorant fools who didn't know how to do their job. (A/N: No offense!) Oh, there were a few good ones in the law enforcement but the one he was talking to was giving him a headache. But then again… He'd rather deal with an incompetent policeman than Tezuka's wrath any day.
Yuki struggled in his hold and he let her go. He was in for a lecture. However short it may be, it was not welcomed. The policeman asking him questions at the moment wasn't helping.
"Look, I didn't see or knew who it was. The only information you'll get is out of the men in black either knocked out or half dead." Ryoma said before stomping off. He was tired. Plus he was suffering from new injuries on top of the old ones. Of course, now he had to deal with Tezuka with Yuki telling all his actions.
"Ryoma-san saved us from those guys, Papa. He went shoom and psshh and then…"
Ryoma stealthily snuck up next to Fuji. Here was a day he was glad the sadist was here. At least it kept Tezuka at bay, for a moment. Though he did regret it the moment that smile turned on him.
"Ah, Ryoma-kun, is something the matter?" Fuji asked all-knowingly.
"I'm fine," he answered throwing a semi-glare at him.
"Oh, look Tezuka is heading this way." As soon as Tezuka arrived, Fuji began again. "Ah Tezuka. It seems you missed the best part of the show." Tezuka just gave him a glare.
"Fuji, watch Yuki as I speak with Ryoma," Tezuka stated handing Yuki over to Fuji.
"Just like Kaori-san I get the babysitting job. Haha," Fuji said before walking off to the side. Whatever Fuji said made Ryoma think. He had a flash.
"Haha, you can't go this time shrimp, you have to stay and watch the fortress. You'll do a splendid job."
"I'm not a shrimp!"
"Maybe you should drink more milk. You look short to me."
"Ryoma!" Ryoma snapped out of his daze as Tezuka called his name.
"Gomen," he said.
"That's fine. Tell me what happened."

Tezuka surveyed the mess made in his house. He noticed that the kitchen was worse as was the east wing of the second story. He was grateful that their rooms were on the west wing. They had someplace to sleep that night. He sighed. He wondered how much this would cost just for repair. It wasn't like he couldn't afford it the whole thing was just troublesome.
"Papa!" he turned around as Yuki came running up to him. "Papa! Kaori-san said we could stay at her place! Can we?" she asked pleadingly. Tezuka sighed. This child had a hold on him. "Ryoma-san already took care of your files, Papa, he said he saved them somewhere else. So can we?"
"Yes."
"Yay! Kaori-san!" Yuki called out as she ran down the hall. Tezuka stared after. He was put out of his daze as a disk was placed in front of him.
"You spoil her too much," Ryoma said. Tezuka took the disk and looked at him.
"Not really." He answered.
"I had your necessities packed already. I figured you'd say yes."
Ryoma let a surprised gasp as he felt Tezuka's arms wrapped around his shoulders from behind. He shivered as he felt Tezuka's breath along his neck.
"You should take better care of yourself."
Ryoma rolled his eyes and shifted in his arms to face him.
"I'm fine. I can take care of myself. You should worry about your company going down."
"Un, but you seem to have it under control. I wouldn't worry about it."
Tezuka leaned down and pressed their lips together. Ryoma kissed back, wrapping his arms around the taller man's neck. It turned out to be a full make-out session that Ryoma didn't notice the approaching figure. They quickly broke off as they saw a flash. Ryoma softly growled in annoyance. He turned around and saw Kaori standing there with a camera in her hand and a smirk on her face. Ryoma glared. She ignored it. Blackmail…blackmail…blackmail…here I go!
"As much as I would let you two continue and use it for blackmail purposes, we should evacuate immediately before whoever it was that attacked comes back," Kaori said before exiting out of their vision.

Fuji smiled as he came upon the front door of the Double-Edge gang's headquarters. He never thought that he actually had the privilege to actually visit the place. Kaori didn't seem too keen into letting him in. Though he wasn't surprised. He just acted ignorant of it at the time. He waited for someone to answer the door. He knew it'd be awhile since he heard a bit of chaos through the door. After a minute the door opened revealing a tired Kaori. Fuji just gave his infamous smile.
"Good Evening Kaori-san. Are you going to let me in?" he asked disarmingly. Kaori sighed and gave him an impassive stare while he walked in.
"Just so you know, Yuki-chan requested that you come and stay with her while the house is being built," she stated. She really was trying not to show her dislike of him around.
"I know Kaori-san. I was wondering if Ryoma is adjusting to his familiar surroundings? It was very bold of you to place him in a house where everyone knows him." Fuji followed Kaori to Yuki's room. He'd be staying there to keep her company. He was sure that Ryoma and Tezuka would be too busy with each other.
"The news."
"Ah, yes, the news. But wouldn't he be kind of suspicious of their actions towards him?" Fuji bid her a goodnight before entering the room to place Yuki to sleep.
Kaori stared at the now closed door that Fuji had walked through. The sadist may be scary to be with but he was always observant and mostly right. She couldn't tell their gang what to do. She just hoped they would get the message after she told them that their boss had amnesia, which lasted a long time.
-X-
Ryoma was annoyed. He did notice the other occupants' actions towards him. He didn't like it and was very confused and suspicious about it.
Flashback-------------
Ryoma entered the entertainment room. A small group was sitting around the TV. Apparently when they took sight of him they stood up and stood at the side where the walls were. He raised an eyebrow questioningly, but didn't bother with it. He will find out later anyways.
He took a seat on one of the couches. It was silent as he focused his eyes on the TV program. After a while, he turned to his audience who seem a bit nervous. He gave them an impassive stare. They quickly shuffled around and offering him some food and drinks. He glared at the some more making them back away.
He will get to the bottom of this.
End Flashback----------------
He caught the knife in his hand. His mind was a blur. Any memories he's had had been forgotten. He wondered how long would it be before he got them back. Somehow, he didn't want them back. He thought about Tezuka's reaction to his previous actions. It was something he didn't like. But then again, he had suspicions that Tezuka had been keeping something from him too.
Ryoma threw the knife in his hand making it land stuck to the doorframe where someone's head would've been. The person who opened the door jumped making the door open wider. When Ryoma saw whom it was he paused and thought he should've actually hit the person in the first place.
Fuji was surprised at first but then smiled.
"Saa… I think Kaori-san should rethink of letting you stay here," Fuji said turning to look at Ryoma, "Someone might end up dead." Ryoma glared at him.
"If you're expecting an apology you're not getting one," Ryoma said, annoyed.
"I didn't expect one."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I'm taking care of Yuki-chan. Kaori-san told me to fetch you for dinner. But maybe I should tell her to send someone else…"
Ryoma walked past him yanking the knife out of the frame. Fuji just chuckled.

Tatsuha glanced around the spacious office. His mind was on a rush but his body wasn't moving. He picked up the framed picture sitting innocently on the desk. It brought a reflective smile on his face, though he would later admit he didn't. His younger twin siblings were on this picture. Despite the fact that they have become enemies, he still cared about them. First his sister didn't agree with their father's choice of dealings. Wherever she went the other would follow. Both of them were always troublesome.
Tatsuha sighed. He really needed to stop thinking of the past. Right now he needed to continue with his plans.
-X-
Atobe glanced at the mansion in front of him. Sure it wasn't as big as his but it wasn't as bad. Besides he needed to see Fuji. It had been three days since he stayed in the gangs' headquarters. Not even one phone call. Of course he'd be ticked at that.
Before he could knock, the door opened revealing the person he wanted to see.
"Keigo, what are you doing here?"
"Are there people in the house?" Atobe asked ignoring the question completely. Fuji looked completely confused on that question. Usually he'd know what was going on, being who he is, but at the moment he was at lost. It could've been the fact that Yuki had been running wild.
"Good."
Atobe grabbed a hold of Fuji's wrist, dragging him away from the manor.
"Ah, Keigo, I need to tell them I'm leaving for a bit."
"They'll get the message."
-X-
Yuki walked around the big manor. She was bored. Kaori and Satoshi weren't around since they were away on business, Atobe abducted Fuji, and now she was looking for Ryoma. Spotting another person, she tugged on their pant leg. The man looked down and smiled.
"What can I do for you Yuki-chan?" he asked.
"Where's Ryoma-san?" she asked.
"Right this way."
-X-
Tezuka really hated meetings. Though he only looked liked he tolerated it so he wouldn't taste Inui's new concoction that was supposed to help keep your concentration. It was partially his fault that he made it. He had told Inui about the mixed up concoctions and the scientist came up with some inadequate juice.
After what seemed like hours, the meeting was finally finished. Now he can go back and rest. Luckily the manor didn't seem like it'd hold a lot of people. He made a quick goodbye to Inui before leaving.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling about today. He didn't know. Maybe it was just his imagination and being around Ryoma made him paranoid. He should have good reason to as his company could be stolen at any time. Sighing he made his way into the parking garage. That eerie feeling came back. The dim lights didn't make it all the comfortable. Nevertheless he went towards his car. Taking out his keys, he paused and looked around. Seeing no one he went back to what he was doing.
Before he could step into the car he felt something poking his back.
"Step away Tezuka-san and turn to your side."
Tezuka did as he was told. He was hit sharply behind his neck and fell forward.
He knew this was going to be a bad day.
"Tatsuha-san."
"Mayroon ba siya?" (Do you have him?)
"Hai."
