Chapter 9

Atsushi crawled over to Katshi and turned him in his back he was almost unconscious, the young man had was black sweat pants and a gray tank top the same outfit he was in before any of this happened. Atsushi crawled over to the glass of water and took off Katshi's tank top revealing cuts and bruises. Atsushi poured the water on the shirt and used it to clean Katshi's wounds. "Thank you" Katshi said weakly. Atsushi didt say anything back hearing Katshi's voice weak and shaky filled Atsushis eyes with tears. Once he was done cleaning Katshi Atsushi got up and looked around the room, it was empty except for a few boxes and some broken glass. There was a drain in the center of the room underneath a shower head. The room could have been used for so many things but Atsushi could not figure out witch one. Atsushi dug through the boxes. All of them were empty besides one which had a picture at the bottom. He examined the image, it felt so familiar, "where have I seen this before?" He asked himself under his breath "going through my stuff now are you?" The man asked putting a hand on Atsushi's shoulder making him jump "this picture? What is it" Atsushi asked the man, "let's see here" the man said taking the photo from the boys hands. "Oh that me" he pointed to them man on the far left. He dropped the paper on ground and walked over to Katshi. Atsushi picked up the photo and took a closer look. The man had his arm around a young guy but his face was blurry, on the other side was another familiar man. "Who is this?" Atsushi asked pointing too the man with the blurry face. "None of your business" the man said as he snatched the photo from Atsushi. The man kneeled down in front of Atsushi, "I got you a gift wanna see?" The man asked tilting his head to the side. "No" Atsushi said. The man stood up and attached a chain to the wall on the opposite side of the room from Katshi. Atsushi backed up from the man buy the man grabbed him by the ankle and attached it to the chain. "Sense you think you can go through other peoples things I got you this, it will avoid you getting in anymore trouble." The man walked up to Katshi "stand up" he demanded pulling the beat boy to his feet. Katshi struggled to stand, this made Atsushi tear up but he didn't want to show any weakness. The man lit a cigar and blew the smoke him Katshi's face. "This man here, you care about him?" The man asked Katshi pointing to Atsushi. Katshi struggled to open his eyes but he slowly looked at Atsushi and smiled softly and briefly "ye-s" Katshi said weakly. "So you care if I hurt him?" The man said flicking his cigar on Katshi's face. "If you put a finger on-" Katshi was cut off with a knee to the stomach. Katshi fell to the ground. "He talks to much don't you think?" The man said to Atsushi. "Why hurt him and not me?" Atsushi asked "because we both know you care about him more that yourself, you don't like yourself at all do you? It's obvious, you act all tough but when you and him are alone you cry, you think no one knows but your a broken little guy aren't you?" The man said. Atsushi got angry and placed his hands around the mans neck squeezing his grip, the man laughed and removed the boys small hands from his collar bone. "Did I make you angry?" The man said with a laugh. He picked up the picture off the ground. "This is your farther" the man said pointing to the blurry man. "You knew him?" Atsushi asked "we were good friends, he went crazy" the man explained. "Who is this man?" Atsushi asked pointing to the second familiar man. "Oh Mo? you know him, he goes by Deavon now" the man said standing up, "you were friends with deavon?" Atsushi asked, "ha no, he was my rival. one day he decided It would be a good idea to hang out with your father. three weeks past they became closer. We all graduated college and went our separate ways 6 years later your father decided to put a bullet in my daughters stomach." The man explained. "I don't believe you my father is not a bad man" Atsushi said. "You don't actually know your father that well, he left you when you were a baby he abandoned you and left you I The arms of a crazy, why are you eggar to find him?" The man asked walking over to Katshi. "He left me so he could go on a mission. I promised to find him if he didn't come back. I can't break my promises" Atsushi said, a tear streamed down his face. "Your scared" the man said kneeling in front of Katshi. "You don't know anything about me!" Atsushi yelled starting to cry. The man took a passed out Katshi over his shoulder and left the room, turning off the light leaving Atsushi alone in the dark
