Chapter: 1

Hy guys. It's Misha here. I know it's been like one and half year. I've no words for my lateness. Life just happened. And too much at that. It was hard but I survived. Thank goodness. I wanted to write more about "Akihito's un-natural secret". You guys liked that one and I've had a few ideas. But this thing just won't leave my mind. Like it's been two weeks so finally decided to write it down.

For the "An eye-opening surprise" readers I'm sorry. But you have to wait more. I'm facing a block there.

Let's get on with this story. ^.^

"Asami-sama Suoh's replacement has arrived."

Asami sighed putting down the pen.

"I still don't see the need Kirishima. I can manage."

"Of course you can sir. But the added pressure won't be good for you. And he is Suoh's nephew. I'm sure you won't be disappointed."

They stared at each other for a while. A silent battle of will.

Finally Asami waved his hand for the newcomer to enter. His secretary could be very stubborn at times. He must have zoned out for a second or two. Because the next thing he knew a striking young man with blond hair and hazel eyes is standing before him.

"Good Morning sir. Takaba Akihito reporting. It's good to see you".

Asami nodded but rose his eyebrow at Kirishima whose eyes were amused.

"How old are you Takaba?" Weird first question but that was the first one in his mind genuinely curious.

"25 sir"

"Aren't you too young for this?"

"Not in the least sir. I've experience, you are in professional hands."

Asami didn't seem convinced though. But if it could keep Kirishima out of his hair then so be it. His nagging could be highly annoying at times. So deciding to humor him he continued.

"Why this job"?

"Because I want to sir. For the time being that is." He shrugged his shoulders.

...

...

What kind of answer is that...!

Before he could probe further Kirishima cleared his throat.

"Sir I must have forgotten to mention it but he is not good with interviews. Though Suoh assured me about his work".

"I see. Then start when you are ready Takaba".

"I'm sir" and promptly walked to the left side of Asami standing near the full length glass, giving the office a one over and then looking outside.

Asami seemed irritated at that and frowned.

"You are to stand outside my office doors Takaba".

"Negative sir. Suoh-san mentioned the threats that are around you recently. Until I get rid of them I'll be staying wherever you are."

"Nothing's going to happen here in my building and in my office".

"We'll see".

A twitch of an eye. Asami was sure this brat was doing it on purpose. And he was getting under his skin successfully too. Seeing that Asami was about to explode, Kirishima the ever wise man spoke.

"Sir, please deal with it until Suoh is ready to join again or until this situation is resolved…. Please sir."

Asami looked at Kirishima seeing the tense shoulders and worried expression he breathed out and nodded. Suoh is incapacitated right now. Shot in the leg and arm protecting him. It would take at least a month to come back here. And his personal guard deserve this break. Putting an end to his thoughts he resumed his paperwork. Kirishima having took his leave after he relented.

It wasn't hard to ignore the presence in the room Asami realized. The man was extremely silent which he found odd. Didn't the young one's are always full of energy? Granted he isn't that young but he isn't old enough to stand still without doing anything for Hours. Asami was impressed.

….

Kirishima entered in afternoon announcing he has a meeting with his new hotel manager regarding its opening. He nodded and stood up, handing Kirishima the finished papers.

"The driver is outside the building sir."

He went about his way Takaba closely following him.

The meeting went fine. The opening date was fixed. On the way out Asami went to restroom.

As he entered Takaba entered behind him. When he realized this he turned around to face him with a raised eyebrow.

"Really?"

"It's a must sir."

"Even Suoh doesn't follow me to the restroom".

"He must be very good at what he does".

Sighing Asami went about his business. Really, he wasn't about to argue with a twenty something brat. Though it was tempting.

When they went outside the car was waiting. He was about to pull open the door when the so called guard didn't open it for him when his hand was grabbed and he was turned in another direction. The action and the strength in which the hand griped his surprised him. Before he could ask questions he was silenced.

"Trouble. Quickly follow me sir."

Takaba led him to an alleyway and waited. The serious face told him he should see what is in store for them. And they didn't have to wait long.

Three men entered and went straight at Takaba. He dodged a punch toward his face, bend down and punched in the man's gut and swiftly kicked the other man's head getting up. The third man followed the other two men on the ground unconscious whom he sidestepped and hit on the back of his neck.

Asami stood surprised. All of it barely took a minute. Takaba put enough force in his hits to put them out cold.

"Stay alert. There are more."

"I can defend myself". Offering to help.

"I'm sure you can sir but that's my job". Just as the sentenced left his mouth came more men.

Asami stood awed by the events happening before his very eyes. The brat that he thought, was efficiently fighting more people his size. Asami broke out of his stupor when a hand reached in front of his face and stopped. The body of a shocked man fell sideways. Which he found had a knife ebbed on the back of his neck which Takaba had threw.

Bodies littered the alleyway they stood. And Asami realized as Takaba was making a call probably for the cleaners and men to be taken to the warehouse that there was more to this brat that he dubbed him as. And he would love to find out more.

"This way sir. The car is waiting".

He followed Takaba to the car who opened his door for him. When he didn't get inside Takaba looked back at him questioningly.

He let a smirk play on his lips. And a curiosity shown in his golden eyes.

Takaba frowned at his expression.

He let out a chuckle which surprised Takaba and slid inside.

'I'll uncover you Takaba and immensely enjoy it.'

That's it folks. Hope you guys had fun reading. See you next time. ^.^)/
