Every cloud has a silver lining

Hong Kong 3:14 am. Baishe's Headquarters.

"I need to get out of here, I need to do something…"

He looked to his right side, his guard was barely conscious. "Kimura!" He yelled along with the sound of a gun going off. He stared in shock as his friend wasn't breathing anymore. He observed how Kimura was lying there with blood oozing from his leg and a bullet between his eyes. He closed his eyes and felt a hand gripping his hair and yanking his head back.

" What a sad story, don't you think?" he couldn't see her eyes and only noticed her evil smile while she was laughing right beside his ear. "And you are the one who caused it." She smashed his head on a nearby table. It hurt so much.

"Don't… It isn't my fault…" he says while he was trying to see through the tears to look at the concrete, he gasped at sight, a large amount of Kimura's blood was now soaking his jeans. He shook his head while she walked away.

"I'm going to take everything that you hold dear," she spoke while Akihito heard her voice from behind. "I really hate when people get in my way", she placed a hand on Akihito's stomach and pressed something on his ribs. "And this is in my way."

"No no no no ple-" he begged and felt a strong pain in his side. It was a knife that had pierced his skin, he started to panic but her laugh was accompanied with her grip on the end of the knife. She sunk the knife further into his body, and he couldn't stop screaming. An endless agonizing pain. He heard footsteps behind him, heavy steps... they didn't belong to the woman.

"You caused this." She repeated, over and over again, the expression on the young man's face was exactly what she was hoping for. She grabbed Asami's hand and kissed it, everything was starting to get dizzy and he felt a constricting pain in his chest.

No please…. No... It hurts. Please someone… Please save me… Asami…

"NO!"

"PLEASE STOP! STOP!"

"Akihito!"

The blonde sat up suddenly on the bed and panted heavily, his heartbeat was extremely fast and a huge wave of dizziness made itself present. He looked around and noticed a worried Asami looking at his face. He felt a hand gripping his shoulder, and he quickly slapped it.

"Akihito," Asami says trying to reassure his soulmate. "It was just a nightmare. You are safe."

Akihito threw the covers away and quickly left the bed, he couldn't think of anything else other than reaching the bathroom safely.

He ran to the bathroom and quickly got on his knees, the sound of someone vomiting echoed in the dark room. Asami got up with him and walked towards the blonde, he wouldn't say it out loud but the sight made him feel at a loss. He remained quiet while he waited for Akihito to stop vomiting, but the only thing he felt in that moment through their bond was a mixture of fear and pain.

He grabbed a towel from one of the compartments inside of the bathroom and he handed it to Akihito, the blonde accepted it but didn't lift his face to look at Asami.

Akihito, still on his knees and trembling slightly from the last few minutes, he flushed the water and remained there on the floor. At least his heartbeat was returning to normal.

'That felt too real…'

"Do you need anything?" asked Asami while looking at him with a serious expression, Akihito still remained looking down at the floor while he wiped his mouth.

"No, I'm alright."

"You need to rest, come here." Asami reached for Akihito's arm and tried to lift him up. However, his hand was slapped away for the second time in that night.

"I said I'm alright," Akihito pulled his arm out of Asami's reach and still didn't look at him.

"You don't look alright to me," he tried again to reach for Akihito's arm until his soulmate's voice stopped him.

"I don't need your help!" he said staring at Asami's golden eyes. "Leave me alone."

Asami was surprised at the sudden words from Akihito, but he didn't show it and simply frowned at the stubbornness of his soulmate, something that he liked instantly when he met Akihito but this time it was something that he found problematic.

"Listen to me," Asami gripped Akihito's arm and lifted him up against the blonde's wishes, "you need to rest, like it or not; be a good boy and listen to me."

"Don't treat me like a kid Asami," Akihito pushed Asami's chest and put some distance between them. Akihito sighed and stared at him, "I just need some time." He felt so tired and by the clock that was on the wall he noticed that it was still very early, which explained why the room was pitch black when he woke up.

He sat on the toilet and small tears started to fall on his legs. 'What should I do…'

Asami merely looked at him from head to toe and turned to walk out of the bathroom. If there is something that he hates, it's to being pushed aside, he is Akihito's soulmate so there was no need to push him aside when the only thing he wants it's to calm him. He is the only one who can.

He returned to the bed and went to retrieve a cigarette, he felt the pull of their bond in his body, and there wasn't fear anymore. He just felt… sad. They were alright yesterday, they took a bath together and finally spent some time together after months, there wasn't anything that might have gone wrong but it did. He wondered what kind of dream must Akihito have had, but he wasn't going to question about it, he doesn't want Akihito to relieve that experience again.

He went outside, sat on a nearby chair and lit up the cigarette, to his surprise, Haruki was outside. He thought that the panther must have crossed the garden in front of them when the feeling of his owner being in danger woke him up.

Haruki stared at him, and his gaze was a curious one but Asami simply ignored him.

"If you want to know what happened then I can gladly open the door for you," he says after a while since the hazel eyes of the big cat never left his face. "If not, then stop bothering me."

Haruki turned to look through the glass door and noticed how Akihito was deep asleep with Shun, somehow the black panther made it inside of the room, 'how did that happen', Haruki had no idea. He turned to look at Asami who remained smoking with his phone on his lap, he knew that if Akihito needed his soulmate, then at least Shun could provide him some comfort.

Haruki noticed Shun licking Akihito's cheek softly, that meant that something bad did happen for Akihito to be crying.

"Akihito says that you are a bastard but," he stares at Asami's eyes and notices tiredness in them, "sometimes even you need a lesson on how to treat people. Aki you have a good challenge from here onwards…"

Haruki pushes his head into Asami's palm and purrs to it.

He expected Asami retreating his hand but the gentle stroke on his head made him stare very surprised at the man, he didn't meet his eyes but Haruki knew that his presence wasn't an unwelcome one.

Japan, Shinjuku 2:30 pm

After three days of staying in Hong Kong, Akihito was more than ready to finally be back in Japan again. It wasn't because he was simply far from home, but the fact that he was in a foreign territory where his only help is Asami was in some way… suffocating.

It was strange that the only source of peacefulness he has, the one that was just made for him, was in this moment causing him many conflicting thoughts. Asami had changed, that goes unsaid, Akihito never expected that even if their bond was healthy after so much time pulled apart, there would be still something that just didn't feel right.

It was even more obvious since Asami and Akihito felt the same thing, they might have been separated but… was it just the memories? Or it was the same longing they felt for each other that made them crave each other?

'I can't believe I'm worrying over something like this… We are together, that's all that should matter but, still… why do I feel so insecure? What should I do when he finds out? He will be disappointed in me?' he bit his bottom lip while looking through the car window.

'We are finally in Japan… what will happen now? I can't tell him what happened…'

He glanced at Asami who was reading some documents, 'he looks tired.'

'I should at least offer him some water that I brought from Hong Kong,' he thought but was immediately cut off by the memory of them arguing the day after the incident with the nightmare. Actually, they were nightmares. There has been two days in a row he has had them, it doesn't matter if it's just a nap or a full night's sleep, he always dreams the same thing. He gets killed, his baby doesn't survive and Asami gets either killed or is drugged more and more by Maeda Eri. He knows that giving Asami the silent treatment wasn't the best method to deal with this situation, but Asami wasn't speaking either.

'Does he also feel the same thing? Are we together just because we have memories together? I doubt it but… After he knows what happened that day, what will happen to us…?'

Akihito closes his eyes and sighs, he is tired as well. If it weren't because Shun and Haruki lifting his spirit then he would feel alone with only his thoughts. Haruki was sitting in front of him with Shun.

'At least they look happy.' He smiles when Shun rests his head on Haruki's neck while they relax their heads on the black leather seat. The black panther looks from time to time at his owner, who doesn't pay any mind to either of them.

"We are here boss," says Suoh from the intercom.

Akihito looks at Asami and wonders where they are, he looks outside of the window and notices a very fancy building. It was famous from having offices of the best doctors in Shinjuku.

"Why are we here?" asks Akihito while stopping Asami from exiting the car. Suoh is already waiting outside with the door open.

"You need to have a proper checkup of the pregnancy. I contacted the best person to deal with it."

"But hey-" he started but was immediately cut off by Asami's stare.

"Stop whining Akihito, he is the best at his job and I don't have time to listen to every one of your whims."

Akihito looks at him with surprise, and quickly mutters, "well fuck you too."

Asami merely turns to see him and gets out of the car. He starts to sweat and his nervousness starts to be too high for his liking.

'It's alright Akihito... I guess it's time.'

They were sitting in front of the doctor, and it was an understatement to say that Akihito was anything but comfortable. Asami felt the nervousness from Akihito, apart from feeling it through their bond there were signs on Akihito's face saying that he was nervous and uncomfortable.

"Takaba-san," said the doctor who stared at him with a worried gaze. Akihito lifted his gaze from his lap and stared at the middle aged man that was taking notes on his tablet, Akihito noticed the computer besides the doctor but tried to ignore it. It reminded him to the one they had at the office of his former doctor, the bastard that tried to harm his baby.

"Are you alright Takaba-san?" he asked when Akihito remained quiet.

Asami touched Akihito's hand and noticed how the young man flinched at the touch, "Akihito."

"Y-Yes, I'm alright. I'm sorry Sakata-sensei, it has been a tiresome few days." Akihito smiled and hugged the green jacket closer to his body, it was good that his belly wasn't that big.

"I can imagine," he offers a small smile to Akihito and that seemed to calm him a little, just barely.

"Takaba-san, I read your diagnostic from your last doctor," he put on his glasses, "that you went for a check up to see how the baby was doing. It says here that they didn't hear any heartbeat from the baby. I'm aware that you are on your ninth week, and it's normal that there are no heartbeats yet, but it is a little strange if we don't heart them in a few days." The doctor notices how Akihito has that worried look on his face.

"A few days ago, they examined me but they didn't hear anything." His hands form a fist on his lap and he looks at the doctor with a worried look. "I don't know… if I lost it."

"What?" asks Asami. "What do you mean that you lost it?" he asks in anger while looking at Akihito with a deep frown on his face.

"I- I don't know, they weren't sure…" he says while looking at his lap.

"Excuse us for a moment," Asami got up from the chair and pulled Akihito with him, they exited the office of the doctor and went to a nearby restroom that was inside of the building. It was just around the corner of the doctor's office so they weren't too far.

Asami pushed Akihito surprisingly gentle into the restroom and he locked the door.

"Asami please," started Akihito but he heard a sigh from Asami and decided not to speak. "I didn't know how to tell you, I- I wasn't sure how-"

"How what", asks Asami while staring at Akihito with a cold stare, "that you didn't know if it was dead already or how I was going to react?" Akihito stares at Asami feeling nothing but disappointed with himself.

'How was I supposed to tell him that the baby was probably dead already? What if he was with me just because of that reason?'

"When was the day they told you about it?" he asks Akihito and the blonde looks aside.

"The same day all of that happened in the bathroom," he places a hand on his belly and stares at the white floor of the restroom. "They merely checked me but they suspected that… if there was no heartbeat the last week than it was likely that… it's dead."

"Akihito," asked Asami while walking closer to the blonde. "Why you didn't say anything?" he touches the blonde's arm and squeezes it. Akihito lifted his gaze to see into the golden eyes and he sighed, his vision was blurring and he took a deep breath.

"What if…" he looked at Asami's chest, he couldn't handle see the disappointment in Asami's eyes, "that if because there was no baby then you wouldn't believe me; or what if after you knew what happened then would I be still worth it for you? I know we can't separate after all that happened but, I couldn't-" he felt a tear falling on his hand. Akihito took a deep breath.

"I'm your soulmate, I know that you care." He closed his eyes. "It wasn't in our plans but, what if you got disappointed? That I couldn't take care of it well just for a few weeks? I… I don't know-"

He was gently hugged by Asami, it was surprising but he felt the heat of his soulmate cover his body and his head rested on the strong chest of Asami. He listened to the steady heartbeat and was immediately calmed.

"Akihito," said Asami while stroking Akihito's head, "I might not remember agreeing to a pregnancy but, it happened and that is alright." He felt Akihito's arm tightening around his torso. "It wasn't your fault what happened."

"If there is nothing here," he touches Akihito's small stomach, "then that means that we can make another, and I will enjoy doing that as much as you will." He places a kiss on Akihito's lips.

Akihito sighed at the affection he felt flowing through their bond, it was sweet and peaceful. It was mutual. He closed his eyes and breathed in Asami's scent. Asami lifted the blonde's chin and pressed another kiss. The fact thay they didn't kiss much now that they were closer to each other was torture, it didn't matter about the past they shared together, Asami and Akihito know that the present it's what matters the most.

"Well you are a very manipulative bastard that doesn't accept a no for an answer," Akihito turns his head slightly but listens to Asami's chuckle.

"I knew you were stubborn but I didn't know how insecure you can be," he chuckles when he feels a small punch on his stomach. Akihito gives a small smile while hiding his face in Asami's chest.

"We need to know what we can do for your health, and he is waiting for us." Asami placed a hand on the small back of Akihito and walked out of the restroom. Suoh was waiting right outside of the restroom and noticed how they changed in just a couple of minutes. However, he couldn't shake off the feeling that Akihito looked sad.

Asami noticed Suoh's expression and told Akihito to wait for him inside of the office. Asami got closer to Suoh and spoke to his ear, "there is big possibility that the pregnancy failed. I'll confirm with you after we check up with the doctor, and after that I need you to tell Kirishima to cancel the plans he had with the architect to redesign the penthouse." Suoh's eyes widens and he nods at his boss's words. He can't believe it, and he feels a heaviness in his chest.

"After everything we did helping Takaba-san," Suoh retrieves his phone from his pocket and dials Kirishima's number. "I'm sorry Takaba-san."

"Please accompany me," says the doctor while leading them to a very cozy room, there was a sofa with a coffee table on one side of the office; on the other side there was a clinical bed with a scale specifically for weight control. Akihito notices the lights in the room were designed especially for them to see the ultrasound with efficiency.

"Please lay here and lift up your shirt," the doctors goes to another end of the room to retrieve what he will need for the ultrasound.

Akihito takes off his jacket and leaves it on the sofa, he is nervous and he is starting to breathe a little heavier.

'It's not like the last time Akihito, he is a different doctor.'

Asami couldn't stay there and look from afar, noticing how Akihito started to get nervous after what must have been caused the last time he was in the office with Maeda's right hand, he knew that Akihito had some PTSD. If the nightmares weren't proof enough then he knew that some reactions to a plane or a simple gun was more than enough to trigger at least the heavy breathing.

He stood beside Akihito while waiting for the doctor to sit beside them.

Akihito gulped when he notices that same substance that was put on his belly like the last time, the last time they told him that there was no heartbeat and that his baby might be dead, he closed his eyes and simply ignored the coldness he felt on his stomach. He listened to the voices and he merely nodded, not caring what they were saying, he simply didn't want to listen to it again.

He felt the ultrasonic probe moving against his belly, it was cold and it was pressed hard against him. He felt it stopping on one side, and then moving to the other side of his stomach. He gulped, he didn't want to hear it.

'Please hurry up,' he thought while the voices of Asami and the doctors weren't audible anymore.

"Akihito," says Asami while grabbing the blonde's hand. "Akihito open your eyes," Asami says extremely gentle wich goes unnoticed by the doctor. 'It was a good thing I told him before and not after this. I'm sorry.'

"I'm sorry," says Akihito while he was suppressing the want of crying his heart out, he just couldn't handle the gentle voice of his soulmate. Akihito turns his face to Asami's chest, he doesn't even want to look at the screen again.

"You are sorry?" asks Asami with a small smile on his face. "You are sorry because of this?" Asami moves his head and turns it in direction of the screen. There was something there, and it was something that he has seen on youtube videos more than once.

"Do you see this part Takaba-san?" the doctor stops the probe on a certain spot of his belly and points at the image in the screen, "this part is moving and that means that the heart of your baby is functioning very well. Congratulations, it seems that there is no problem at all." The doctor smiles at the blonde who is with widened eyes looking at the screen.

Asami looks at the screen and feels pride, and affection, something that he never even imagined to feel for someone else. He moved his gaze to the person who made it possible, and it was then where he really felt the weight of his words actually worth it, because if it weren't for Akihito, that he found not so long ago and almost lost due to his own carelessness, he would never know that he could feel all these emotions for someone else more than himself.

He smiles at the smile from Akihito, who is bright enough for him to reconsider if it's a good idea to keep someone that resembles too much of a light close to one that resembles nothing but darkness.

He shakes his head when Akihito remains quiet and simply looking at the screen, he isn't even crying but he knows, more than anyone including Akihito, that happiness is the only thing they feel at this moment. There is a little bit of fear, but it isn't enough to cover the immense gratefulness they felt at this moment.

"Do you want to hear it?" asks the doctor and Akihito quickly nods his head.

"Yes please," he says while squeezing Asami's hand. He chooses that moment to look at Asami and the grip on his hand gets stronger, admitting how relieved and grateful they were to each other in that moment.

The doctor grabbed the Doppler that was beside the table and pressed the small probe on Akihito's belly, the sound of a heartbeat echoed in the room. Akihito had a big smile on his face and Asami was nothing but glad about the fact that his soulmate was happy, he was feeling the same as him, but it was a different way to see it from his point of view. His new baby and his soulmate were alive, and felt happy, and that was more than enough for him at that moment.

He couldn't help the thought that crossed his mind at that moment, how he could have missed this and replace it with another person that wasn't the right one. It was scary, and definitely something that he doesn't even want to imagine anymore. Asami turned serious. Akihito squeezed his hand and reassured him, almost as if feeling the same thing, but it didn't matter anymore.

"I'll leave you the next appointment on Thursday of the next week, you have been under a lot of pressure Takaba-san and that worries me because if the baby were have been in the second trimester than that would have caused big problems for both of your health. Please don't do anything dangerous and try to keep your emotions at bay."

Akihito nodded and said his thanks to him, he was very grateful for having a professional control his pregnancy the way it should have been since the beginning. It was easier, because he didn't have the means to pay for someone like Sakata's sensei to check him.

They exited the doctor's office, as soon as they closed the door Akihito stopped, "Asami do you think is safe for someone like him to know about this?"

Asami nodded and placed a hand on the small of his back, "he has a contract that specifies that everything related to us is confidential. Don't worry about it."

'If he were to say a word about this, then that would be the last one.'

They walked down the hallway where Suoh was waiting for them, Akihito noticed that Suoh was very stiff and had a different expression on his face. The usual stoic guard had a problem and he wondered what happened for him to be like that.

"Suoh are you ok?" asked Akihito but Suoh just nodded.

"I'm alright, Takaba-san." He vowed to Akihito which only made everything even weirder.

"What happened to him?" asks Akihito to Asami.

"You should show him the pictures of the ultrasound," he said while placing his hands in his pockets and walking along with a smirk on his face.

"Why? I mean he is a friend but…" Akihito doubted for a second but Asami chose not to listen and simply walked behind the blonde. Akihito shrugged and walked a little faster to catch up with the bodyguard.

Asami couldn't help but smirk a little more at the expression on Suoh's face, it was refreshing to see a surprised face and a relieved one on one of his closest men. He lifted an eyebrow at the sudden change of happiness from one that expressed panic. He was about to call Akihito to stick closer to him in case that Suoh sensed some danger, but he was interrupted by the vibration of his phone. He reach for it inside of his suit jacket and unlocked it.

Asami-sama.

I heard from Suoh that the pregnancy wasn't possible.

My sincere condolences. I'll speak with the architect so that the plan will be canceled and I'll send some groceries that Takaba-san prefers to the penthouse.

I cleared your schedule for three days if you wish to spend some time with Takaba-san. If you need more time then I can easily handle everything for as long as you need.

Asami sighed and knew that Suoh didn't listen to his indications like he thought he would.

"Suoh, call Kirishima. You know what to do." Suoh closed his eyes and muttered a 'yes Asami-sama', Akihito figured that he must have imagined the redness in Suoh's ears.

Asami walked further up to Akihito's side and walked along with the blonde.

"Hey Suoh was more serious than I thought, but it was funny seeing him trying not to crack a smile when he saw the pictures. Akihito smiles while looking at the photos, and Asami couldn't help but take one of them and place it inside of his jacket.

Japan, Shinjuku 4:50 pm.

"Asami what the hell?!" Akihito yells when he sees his belongings in Asami's penthouse. They are all in one bedroom, which is almost the size of his former living room along with his bedroom.

"If I remember correctly you and I decided to live together," he said while walking past Akihito and retrieving two bottles of water from the kitchen. He walked to the blonde and gave him one of the bottles. Akihito grabbed it absentminded while looking around the penthouse. There was nothing different.

"Well yes we did but that was months ago! I don't want to live here…" Akihito immediately shut up and stared at his soulmate who narrowed his gaze at him.

"Care to explain why you don't want to?" he got closer to Akihito and placed the bottle on a nearby table.

"Well… I still need to pay the rent of my apartment." He says while walking around the penthouse and looking for anything different, anything but he found nothing.

"I bought it," he says while walking behind of the blonde.

"What?! But it was mine!" Akihito turned to see Asami, the man merely raised an eyebrow at the hazel eyes that stared at him in disbelief.

"Technically, it wasn't yours and you were late with paying rent; but now it's mine." He pushes Akihito further to the living room and sits him on the couch.

"Y-You can't do that!" Akihito frowns at him and let's himself rest against the soft leather couch. He moans softly at the feeling of the couch as his sore feet were resting against the soft carpet.

"I can," says Asami from behind. He moves Akihito's face a little up and he kisses his lips.

Akihito couldn't deny that he was more happy than annoyed at the sudden change of events, above all, it's what they wanted before and now that was a reality. He felt himself relax when he sees the penthouse was the same as he remembered it. However, he doesn't feel quite comfortable knowing that there was someone there before him. But he can't say something as lame as that.

'I'm not a woman, but, I can't help but be a little annoyed at that. I thought Maeda would have changed everything but everything seems normal.'

"Come here," says Asami while he walks to the master bedroom.

Akihito follows in curiosity, but he whines at the discomfort of leaving the soft couch and his feet weren't that happy to continue walking on the marble floor. Akihito knew where they were going but felt a little strange to go in, he doesn't want to see where Asami held another person, it felt… bad.

Asami turned on the lights and Akihito looked around the room, there was nothing strange with it. It's just as he remembers it.

"She only came here two times. One of them was when she drugged me and the other one was because I was careless. We met up in another penthouse and this one was never used." Asami pushes Akihito's back towards the balcony that leads from the bedroom.

"Why?" he asks now opening the glass door.

"It didn't feel comfortable," he motioned Akihito to look around the city. It was already getting late and the sun was going down. 'It felt strange being there with someone else,' he wanted to say but Akihito seemed to comprehend a little about why he didn't live there while he was with Maeda, or when he was by himself.

Akihito looked at the city from one of the highest buildings, he looked around and then turned his head in Asami's direction. The sun was setting and the sight was beautiful. He searched for his phone but remembered that he left it in the car, Shun and Haruki weren't around at the moment for him to ask Haruki to go and fetch his backpack.

"What is it?" asked Asami seeing the blonde searching for something.

"Hey lend me your phone," he says and Asami narrows his eyes but gives it to him.

"The sight of the setting sun with the contrast of the clouds look nice," he says while pointing at the opposite direction and he takes the picture of the sky. He notices orange, yellow, blue and red. He goes to search for the photo and sees that it came out pretty great, well, he couldn't expect less with the latest phone in the market.

"Rich bastard," he mutters and Asami chuckles.

"I can get you one if you want," he expected Akihito to throw profanities at him but the blonde merely smirked.

"Would you? What if I want the latest professional camera NIKON? Or the latest foreign car?" Akihito gives Asami his phone back and smirks when the man merely lifts an eyebrow.

"You want all of that? Let me call Kirishima." He quickly presses a button, thanks to speed dial and Akihito panics.

"What?! No of course not! I don't need any of that." He tries to take Asami's phone again but he lifts it with his hand and Akihito is suddenly on his tip toes trying to reach it.

"You are too small," says Asami looking at the blonde doing his best to try to reach the phone.

"Agh!" says Akihito immediately stopping trying to reach the phone. Asami lowers his arm and quickly gets closer to the blonde. Akihito is pressing a hand on the side of his ribs and makes a pained expression.

"Akihito are you ok?" Asami aks with a worried tone of voice.

"Asami…" he says while placing a hand on Asami's arm. He squeezes his eyes and grips Asami's shoulder in support of his body.

"Got 'cha!" he smirks when Akihito easily takes Asami't phone and runs towards the bedroom with it. Asami stares at him in surprise at the sudden change of events.

'The brat is good' he smirks but starts to walk faster behind him.

Akihito fumbles with the glass door and he is immediately pressed against it by Asami's body, he looked up and noticed Asami smirking at him.

"You can't escape from me Akihito," he says while placing a hand on Akihito's waist. He kisses his ear and moves one of his hands under Akihito's shirt. He loves the feeling of the soft skin of the blonde's torso and reaches for his nipple.

Asami pinches it gently and his soulmate emits one of the sweetest moans he has ever heard, Akihito tries to stop himself from moaning into the feeling of his soulmate's hands on his body but it becomes a game of two when he presses his bottom against Asami's crotch.

"What are you doing Akihito," Asami kisses the blonde's neck and unlocks the glass door. Akihito shivers when he feels the warm breath on his neck. They walk further into the room the warm air from the penthouse makes their skin warmer. They don't notice when the glass door closes because of a black tail, and another one colored beige was closer to the bed.

"Asami…" says Akihito when his legs bump the end of the bed, his body shivers when Asami kisses his neck and takes off his jacket. Asami looks at the mark and bites on it, making Akihito shudder.

"Akihito," says Asami more urgently, he is craving to taste Akihito and elicit more delicious sound from his soulmate. He gives a small smile when he lifts up Akihito's shirt and kisses the blonde's neckline along with the touch of his fingers on the small belly.

"Asami," says Akihito while touching the neck of his soulmate.

'Shit I'm acting too desperate… too easy…'

Asami notices the bulge on Akihito's jeans and he chuckles when he palms it and rubs it softly, Akihito moans at the friction and Asami kisses the small belly while he unzips the jeans of the blonde. He sees Akihito gripping the sheets, he wants to see more, more of those expressions and sounds that make him feel his control breaking second by second.

He takes off the jeans, the camo boxers are damp with pre cum, he smiles and nips at the erection of the blonde.

"Ah, ah Asami…"

"Yes?" he asks knowing what his soulmate wanted.

"Ah," Asami takes off Akihito's boxers and licks his lip when the tip of Akihito's penis is visible and oozing pre cum. He takes the member in his hand and strokes it softly, nothing too strong for Akihito but the urge was there. "Ah yes, yes, like that…" Akihito moaned while he gripped the sheets as the warm big hand stroked his penis more and more.

"You sound so good Akihito, moan for me more." Asami takes one slender leg on top of his shoulder and kisses the inner thigh, he licks it softly until he reaches Akihito's penis again. The legs tremble when he caresses them, he enjoys the sensation he elicits from the young man. Asami starts kissing around Akihito's member until he reaches the soft patch of black hair. He gives a tentative lick there and Akihito moans louder.

"Ah Asami please… I want to come, ahng!" Asami strokes Akihito's penis and licks the tip. He licks around the tip and then pushes it into his mouth, tightening his lips enough to make Akihito moan and feel the sensation of tightness around him. He licks along the shaft until he reaches the base and returns to the tip, licking the small hole on the tip and then engulfing Akihito's penis into his mouth.

"Yes! Ah! D-damn it… Asami please…" Akihito places his hands on Asami's dark locks and presses his head into his crotch.

"Ah! So good…" Akihito moans even more when Asami tightness his throat against Akihito, he grunts at the pre cum that ran through his throat. He licks all over until he reaches the tip and sucks Akihito's urethra.

"Cum for me Akihito," he says and strokes Akihito's penis faster while he kisses Akihito's nipples, he bites them while his hand never stops his movements.

"Ah! Asami Asami!…" he says while Asami tightens his grip on Akihito's penis as hot thick semen covers Asami's hand. The older man moves himself closer to Akihito's mouth as he strokes Akihito softly while he milks him completely. He presses his mouth on the rosy lips and kisses him passionately. Akihito moans through the kiss and kisses Asami back, he places his arms around Asami's neck and kisses him lazily now.

Asami let go of the blonde's mouth and moves his hand covered in Akihito's essence and licks it.

"You taste very good Akihito," the blonde blushes and covers his eyes with his arm, Asami chuckles at the sweet reaction.

"Don't do that, stupid." He uncovers his eyes and notices the big bulge in Asami's dark slacks.

"We have a lot to catch up on, don't we?" says Asami but Akihito blushes and looks at the other side. He blushes even more when he sees Shun and Haruki quite intimate with each other as well, but at least they seemed to last just like them and so they were calmer now.

"Well…" Akihito looks at Asami who is already taking off his pants, "maybe you have but I don't think I'll take care of you in a near future." Asami lifts an eyebrow and stares at the blonde silently asking for him to continue. The serious face almost made Akihito snicker.

"I mean, you have had your fun before and I won't make it easy for you. If you want something then earn it." Akihito tried to put his most brave face while he crossed his arms in front of his chest. It was probably not that demanding when he was only with his shirt on and without anything on his lower part.

"You are playing hard to get," said Asami while smirking at the boldness of his soulmate. 'Prideful man.'

Asami shrugged and takes of his boxers, letting his hard erection stand proudly in front of Akihito.

"You want me to win you," he says while getting closer to Akihito. The blonde tried his best not to blush and make his own dick to stay down while seeing how Asami is very close to him, without clothes, and very much horny. "You want me to win you over so we can have sex again."

Asami smirked and touched Akihito's cheek while the blonde tried his best not to look at the hard cock he had very close to his face. "I'll do my best, my cute soulmate." Asami smirked and walked star naked to the bathroom. He closed the door leaving a blushing Akihito sitting on the bed.

Japan, Shinjuku 1:00 am

"I always thought your ambition was something good," says Kirishima while seeing the blonde tied up in the warehouse. "You are truly disappointing now, Sudou Shuu."

"Shut up bastard, you are nothing but a mere secretary." Sudou spits blood from his mouth and looks at Suoh who is smirking at him.

"Did you even stop to think, why Kei is the one who is the right hand man of the boss?" Suoh walks behind the blonde and hits the back of him with a bat. "Because of all people here, he is the one who thinks and acts most like Asami-sama."

"Don't say that Suoh," says Asami while entering the warehouse. "You are as ruthless as I am Suoh," he takes the bat from Suoh's hands and swings it in front of Sudou.

"No please no no no no" he screamed but he was quickly silenced by the claws that landed on his head.

"My two men are like a combination of what I'm capable of," he says while grabbing Sudou's hair and pulling it roughly until his neck is exposed, there was blood oozing from where the claws pierced the skin, "now imagine how good we run our organization legally and illegally with the three of us managing it." He swings the bat and hits Sudou's hands. The screams of pain are a melody to their ears.

"Your ambition could have gotten you far, Sudou. It's a shame you decided to betray me because of it, attacking my soulmate was a grave mistake." He swings the bat towards Sudou's face, the teeth that fell from the blonde's mouth was satisfying.

"You were right, he was my soulmate. You have good eye to read people." He places the bat to the side as Shun gets closer to Asami. Kirishima's pet lands on Kirishima's shoulder and looks at the blonde.

"Now, you inflicted pain on Akihito so I'll have to do the same. You killed one of our men and went against your boss's orders. That's why Suoh will deal with you."

Sudou's eyes widened when he saw the brown bear entering the penthouse and Suoh walking beside the big animal. Sudou started to struggle and scream while spitting blood. That didn't stop any of the men while they watched how the bear killed and devoured Sudou.

He opens his eyes and looks around, it was the same room, thankfully he was in a hospital. He heard that Akihito had been having nightmares and he probably wasn't the only one who did.

"Hey" says Akihito while reading a magazine beside the hospital bed.

"Takaba-san," says Kimura while trying to sit up. Akihito places a hand on his shoulder and stops him from doing so.

"Easy," says Akihito while handing him a glass of water. "It's been a few hard days huh." He smiles when Kimura sighs and rests his head on the pillow.

"My head hurts," says Kimura. Akihito looks at him worried.

"Do you want me to call the doctors?" he asks while standing up.

"No, it's alright. I'm more than comfortable here, actually, I feel as if I weren't in the hospital." He smiles and notices the bandages around his arm and a pain that he has accustomed to his leg.

"Yeah, the bastard spent his money well with this room. He has three of them! Can you believe it?" he looks around the place, there is a small kitchen with a private restroom. There is a television and a console.

"Yeah, I know. Is everything going well?" he asks looking at the small belly of Akihito.

"Everything is going well, but Asami is such a damn manipulative bastard. I can't even go to the bathroom without him trying to help me with everything. I have only two and a half months and I don't know if I'm tired of his nagging or the morning sickness." Akihito smiles and laughs when Kimura says a lame joke about how Asami is indeed right.

Akihito has been visiting Kimura almost every two days, it's good for the guard to have someone else to speak to besides Soma and people from his job. Akihito learned that he wasn't that much of a popular man when he arrived in Japan. Kimura promised to tell him everything one day if Asami says it's alright to do so. But in the meantime, he is a merely bodyguard.

A/T: Hello!

I have no excuse to say apart from university draining my life slowly. I don't know how to say thanks for all the kind comments about the anonymous person that sent me the mail. You guys are very kind, even the ones who didn't usually comment were very kind. Thank you guys.

I can't believe some of you still read this story, as the updates are very late but I'm very grateful for the ones who still read and comment! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Fun fact: Supposedly Suoh is a little clumsy. That's why Asami always relies more on Kirishima than Suoh! I think it was mentioned on the last novel of Finder, I just read a summary somewhere because I can't read japanese :(

I hope you guys liked this chapter, I'm sorry if it seemed rushed. I can definitely say that a writer's block is very true. Still, I'll give them a little more of cute and sexy moments the next chapter. The next angst might start on chapter 24!
