Akimitsu started to walk with Ahihito to the parking lot.
For some reason,his head had been hurting a lot ever since the fight.
''Damn it''.
He punched himself in the head to make the pain go away but to no avail.
''What happened?''Ahihito questioned
''No idea''Akimitsu replied.
''It's been hurting since the_'',he started feeling dizzy and started losing his balance.
''Akimitsu!Akimitsu!''.
He heard Ahihito's voice in the distance and then everything went black.
After 2 days
Akimitsu woke up and to his surprise,he was not in the parking lot.He looked around and something was different.
He was in a completely different place.It was black and purple around him.There were walls around him.
He moved his hand to touch the walls but couldn't. He started to wander around.
''Where the hell am I?''
The place was endless.It seemed like he had been walking for an eternity.
''Where am I?Maybe this is a dream".
He punched himself and closed his eyes.
He felt pain and expected to have woken up but when he opened his eyes,he saw he were still in that place.
''This is no dream,Akimitsu''.
He heard the same voice again.
There was no doubt it was the voice he had heard earlier.
''Man you can't even sleep quietly in here,can you?",he heard the same voice again.
''Who's there?",he asked to see no one around.
"Show yourself",he demanded.
He literally had goosebumps.Where in the hell was he?
''You wanna see me?Very well I'll show you who I am,Akimitsu''.He heard that voice again.
He felt someone touch his shoulder.
He turned around to see who it was but he felt something hit his head.
He then realized he was back home.
He had fallen off his bed.
''Akimitsu,are you okay?''
It was Fumiko by his bed. Ahihito was also there.
He wanted to tell Ahihto what had just happened but he couldn't just process it.
He had to think about it.
He looked towards Fumiko.It was apparent she was worried.
''Are you okay?"she asked him while holding his hand.
''Yeah I'm fine.How long was I passed out?''
''Two days''.
Ahihito spoke from corner of the room.
He had been asleep for two days?
''Did you have a bad dream?'',Fumiko asked.
''Yeah kind of''.
''Why the hell did you have to fight that day,baka,I was worried''.
"Who told you about it?"he asked her.
He looked towards Ahihito who looked away.
''You don't have to worry about it.You really don't have to Fumiko''he assured her.
''But-"
she was about to say something but she interrupted her.
''I need fresh air"he then signalled Ahihito to walk out with him.
"Come on Ahihito,lets go''.
Fumiko looked at him with disappointing look but he patted her on the head at which she blushed.
"Hey,you didn't have to do that"she shouted at him embarrasingly.
He avoided her rambling and walked out of the house where Ahihito was waitinh.
''You brought your car,Ahihito?''
''Yeah and I'll fill you on the details''.
Scoops & Smoothies:
''This doesn't taste good'',wailed Ahihito while drinking his smoothie.
''Seems good to me'',said Akimitsu enjoying his strawberry smoothie.
''Where do you suggest we should go after this?",Akimitsu asked.
''Well how about_''.
Just then Ahihto's phone started ringing.
He picked his phone.
''What!We have to go over there.Only me?Isn't anybody else free?Alright I'll go''.
Ahihito turned off his phone and looked at Akimitsu,''Well you heard that.I gotta go''.
''I'm coming with you.I don't have anything to do so I'll come with you'',Akimitsu replied.
Inside Hayayashi Shipping Building:
''What exactly are we supposed to be doing here?",Akimitsu asked yawning.
''Well,some men who have been causing mess in the city are here,so we gotta take care of em''.
''I'll inspect the place Ahihito.You probably look tired anyways''.
Akimitsu started moving around the garage but there was no sign of life.
''Ahihito,it seems you were informed wrong.I don't think there's anybody here''.
Just then three men appeared from nowhere in the middle of garage.
''What the hell!",Akimitsu cursed while looking around.
''What the hell is this,Akimitsu are you okay?'',Ahihito shouted.
''Four crimson layered barrier'',he heard several shouts around him.
A thin red wall formed around him separating him and Ahihito. Worst thing was he was inside this barrier with the three men.
''Seems like your in some trouble ani_san. Want some help?".He saw Sora on the stairs on side of garage.
''The hell is this Sora? Get me out of this and what the hell is thing?"
''Well that's a barrier ani_san. You see you can't get out of here until I wish to".
"If you don't come with us to meet Subaru san,we'll have to take you forcefully and also kill that friend of yours"
"So,what do you say?"he asked him.
''Akimitsu looked at Sora.
What should I do?he thought.
Betray my old friend and run or use him as bait or fight them?
But i'll have no chance against them.But if chances of survival are low I'll go with latter.I can't let Ahihito die. We've been through lot together.
''Akimitsu''he heard Ahihito calling him from outside of barrier.
''Listen to me Akimitsu,they wont let me go even if you surrender,so you know if we're gonna die,lets die trying something.You remember that surge of power inside you at cafeteria?Bring it out here.Do as I say from now on.''
5 min later:
''Sora,may i propose a deal?'
'Sora looked at Akimitsu for a minute. Akimitsu was nervously waiting for his reply.
Sora was unpredictable.He knew that but his weakness was his ego.The moment he insults him he will give in.
''No chance,it''ll be a waste of time,ani san''
''Scared so easily,Sora?You have always been like this,right?They say some habits never go away cuz they are natural.''
Sora looked angry.Akimitsu could feel him getting angry more and more.
''Maybe your a natural coward,Sora. Hahaha.''He started to laugh.
''Nothing more than an errand boy for Subaru-''.
''Shut up you bastard!!!I'll listen,Spit it out.''
Way to go,Ahihito.
''So my deal is if I defeat any two over here,you let me and Ahihito go. Thats all"
Another thing Akimitsu knew about Sora was his overconfidence.
''You think you can beat these three .You don't even have any idea who they are"
He then pointed his fingers towards his allies in the barrier.
For your'e information,the two on front are Yuan brothers and one on back is Shu Sama".
"How do you intend to beat them,ani san?"
He looked at Akimitsu with a smug,that anger he had a minute gone from his face.
''Thats my problem Sora,don't worry about it?"Akimitsu turned to look towards his enemies.
First,there were the Yuan brothers.One of them was tall and had a spear in his hand.As for his face, he had a huge beard.
The other one was short and he too had a spear in his hand.He didnt have any beard like the other one but had a scary expression on his face which gave Akimitsu goosebumps.
The third one was calm and just looking at him.
''Maybe he is someone who can be reasoned with?"he thought.
''Is it okay with you three?"Sora asked the Yuan brothers and other person in there.
"Its not like hes gonna defeat us,right?'laughed the shorter Yuan brother.The other one just nodded in response.
Finally the third person spoke.From his appearance,Akimitsu guessed he was dangerous.
''As for me I am not going to interfere''.He then sat cross legged at the place he was standing.
"I'll take that as a yes for the Yuans then''.
Then Sora turned and spoke to Ahihito.''You come over here,four eyes.Although you aren't special,your analyzation skills are quite interesting''.
Ahihito looked at him for a moment''Well,thats true''Ahihito shrugged and chuckled and started climbing the stairs.
''I'd like to know more bout u,four eyes''Sora said as Ahihto reached him.
''Please dont call me four eyes and I'd like to know more about u too,Sora san''he took out his hand for Ahihito to shake which he did but reluctantly.
''Damn that Ahihito,he knows how to get on someone's good side''thought Akimitsu.
10 min earlier:
''So whats on your mind.Ahihito?''
Akimitsu looked at him,hopeful he might've a plan this time.
Akimitsu couldn't bring himself to admit it but he was scared shitless.
''So you know we don't have any chance of escaping,right?"
We can get out of here by only only one method,fighting.You understand?''Ahihito stared into his eyes.
''That's right but I have no idea how strong they are,man''he literally cried this time.
He was scared shitless.How could he kill them without anything?Without any power?
''Listen man,we don't have much of a choice,do we?
"You remember that surge of power at cafeteria earlier?Seems like it was just a little bit from what u have to show".
"Fight in there,have ur arm chopped off or anything but activate that power at any cost''.
Akimitsu had never seen Ahihito that scared.How foolish he was to think he was the only one who was suffering.
''If u dont save us we're doomed.Understand?"he stared at him .
"I am the brains,Akimitsu and you are the brawns"
"Truth is,I am scared shitless too,so don't think your the only one suffering".
"Remember I am here too,Okay?''he gave Akimitsu an assuring look.
''Dont worry,Ahihito. I'll save u".
"After all,I owe u a lot''he thought i his mind.
