Chapter 4
(Asami's pov)
As every second began to tick by on the way to Akihito's friends house Asami began to feel that something wasn't right, and his unease only grew as he got closer to his destination. Halfway their he told his driver to speed up wanting to see his Akihito safe and to calm the erratic beating of his heart.
Upon reaching Kou's home Asami was quick to step out the car and ring the doorbell. On the third ring Asami was about ready to order his guard to kick the door open when a sleepy Kou answered the door with his hair ruffled and sleep still evident in his eyes.
"Akihito?" Asami asked, hoping his voice hid the worry that was bubbling inside him.
Rubbing his eyes, Kou turned around to check the lounge for his energetic friend only to see that Takako remained sprawled on the couch, snoring heavily and muttering to himself. Asami's gold eyes took in the scene noticing that Takaba wasn't present.
"We'll?" Asami asked, his impatience becoming evident in his tone.
"Umm, his bag isn't here which means he's already left" Kou replied, feeling more alive than he did a few seconds ago after realizing just who was at the front door.
"When, Where?" Asami questioned glaring at Kou, his patience about to go out the window.
"I'm not to sure," Kou replied sheepishly, "Takako and I kinda started having shots and passed out before Takaba so neither of us know where or when. why? Isn't he home yet? Maybe Takaba woke up late this morning and went straight to work.."
Before Kou could finish his sentence Asami's patience had completely ran dry and already having decided his next course of action was already stepping back into his car leaving a dumbfounded Kou at the door.
It wasn't to long before Asami arrived at Takaba's boss's office. Quickly he found out that Takaba hadn't been their either and had been informed that he was late by almost 2 hours for today's work.
Knowing that Takaba's work was very important to him and that he would never, under any circumstance be late for work, Asami's worry turned predatory as he knew now that Takaba Akihito had indeed gone missing.
"Mikage," Asami addressed his guard once back at his office, "Track every possible route Takaba Akihito could have taken from Kou's house to his house and work, Also check any side streets he may have mistakenly taken. If anything or anyone comes up in your search be sure to report it to me immediately!"
"Hai, Asami-Sama" Mikage formally spoke before walking out.
Once he was alone Asami sat down on his chair, and attempted to try calm his raging heart with a smoke. He felt as if a storm was brewing up within his body. Anger, Worry, Pain, love, protectiveness and hate all whirling inside him wanting release. Soon, Asami thought, 'Very soon If I can help it, I'll let you out,' Asami silently promised the storm, 'Once the bastard who didn't know his place is found we'll teach him a lesson he'll never live to forget! But of course if it's Takaba playing another joke.. I'll teach him a lesson he'll live to remember.' Finishing with that though Asami began to grin evilly ready to enjoy either option that became ready to present itself.
After a few minutes of repeating those exact thoughts in his mind Asami began to calm down and regain his control over his predatory instincts.
'Now onto business,' Asami spoke to himself as he butted his cigarette in the ashtray and grabbed the cordless phone to call Feilong to let him know Takaba was fine. The last thing Asami needed he felt was Feilong breathing down his neck, threatening him because he stupidly took his eyes of Takaba than rushing to Japan to search for him. Not in this life was that happening, which is why he decided to lie to Feilong so he could effectively deal with the situation without annoyances getting in the way.
(Takaba's pov)
It's feels really strange, I woke up not remembering anything and am being told that I had an accident resulting in my loss of memory. I feel as if I hadn't existed till this point. The guard watching me told me to stay in bed while he fetched the doctor to examine me.
I try to remember my name and I can't.. Instead I get a headache and I instead try to recall my face.. I can't even remember that.
Close to tears he was starting to wonder if he should have even bothered waking up as if he had a choice, than before he had a chance to dwell on the that thought any further the door opened and the guard that was with him when he'd woken had returned with 2 other men.
One he could tell was the doctor because he had a lab coat on, and the other, he couldn't tell who he was or even recall any memories though his sixth sense seemed to be tingling as if trying to tell him to stay alert and not to trust that man.
Weary, I listen to the doctor, as the other two men stand by and watch me. The doctor tells me what the guard had told me, I had an accident which has affected my memory. He than asked me if I could follow him to his examination room where he could do a follow up test. Nodding yes I follow him, noticing that the other two silently stay behind me the whole way to the room. Once there I see that the doctors examination room has a strange chair in the room with a headpiece and wires connecting every wear.
'Please take a seat' the doctor tells me, 'I'll be with you in a moment.'
Outside the room he watches the doctor talk with the other man that was with the guard. A minute later the doctor walks back into the room while the other walks of, seemingly satisfied with the doctor.
'This won't take long,' the doctor tells me, 'Just sit back and relax. This machine will analyze your brain and try to stimulate your mind into recalling memories you've forgotten.' Believing that I had nothing more to lose I decide to listen to the doctor and trust him. Leaning back, I try to get comfortable. The doctor than brings down the headpiece and adjusts it on my head, than using the machines restraints locks my wrists into place so I cannot move . I start to panic.. He tells me to relax and that everything will be alright.. His words don't comfort me, they make me even more nervous. Moments later as I'm wondering whether this will really work the machine is started and suddenly I begin to recall memories... ...slave...mother dead.. no father.. Keita?... who's Keita.....was the last thing he remembered before losing consciousness.
(Feilong's pov)
It has been well over a week since Feilong had entered Japan. He now was in his temporary headquarters, a very classy hotel, which had been hired out for two whole weeks by Asami as an apology for him and Takaba not being able to meet with them.
Tao was of course upset but cheered up when Fei mentioned the idea of writing a letter for Takaba so he can read it when he gets back from the work that had been given at short notice which Asami mysteriously didn't know about till Takaba had already gone.
Feilong watched as Tao happily drew Takaba pictures to go with his letter. A cup of high quality tea sat in Fei's hands occasionally rising to meet his lips.
Thinking back a week ago Feilong thought that the phone call he'd received from Asami was very strange, and almost unbelievable.
Asami had called as he had promised after checking Takaba's location and had said that Takaba had received a work offer that he couldn't refuse and had apparently left before telling anyone, only leaving a quick note for Asami. He than apologized which was quite a shock to Feilong whose jaw would've hit the ground if not for his self control.
What Feilong thought strange was that Asami hadn't known till that day that Takaba had left the country for work. He knew how protective he had been over Takaba because of hearing them argue over the phone constantly about privacy when he called to see how Akihito had been going.
The other strange thing was that Asami had been constantly avoiding Feilong since his arrival, his business as the constant excuse. Asami though had his guards escort Feilong and his men to the hotel safely before excusing themselves obvious to Feilong that Asami just wanted to keep a close eye on them.
Quickly the morning drifted by reaching Feilong's appointed business meeting. Feilong wasn't really in the mood for it but was happy at the idea of being able to go home once it was all over.
As soon as one of the guards had informed Feilong of the other men's arrival Feilong told Tao to stay put till he returned and had assigned a guard to watch over Tao.
He than made his way down to another room where the meeting had previously been arranged to take place.
Instantly though as soon as he entered the room he froze as he saw between four suited men none other than Akihito Takaba.
