CHAPTER 11 PART 1




Silence.

Not a single word had left the occasionally bitten, and tightly pressed, lips of an unsettled, and ever bemused Yutaka, who quietly sat in the carriage taking himself, his bodyguard, the teenage prodigy, and the lawyer, downtown. He merely sat, and not knowing whether wiser to sulk in the heaviness of said silence, or trying to start what was must likely to be the most boring of conversations, he decided to busy himself randomly studying lips, for it almost felt as if by doing so, he could find the reason that had induced the quartet to have absolutely nothing to say. Thought he could already list so many off the top of his head; hatred, unrequited love, unintelligible love, … hatred.

Nevertheless, he proceeded with his bizarre idea, and began by glancing at Yuu's slightly grinning, and sinfully inviting lips. He could only take swift peeks, giving that the brunette was sitting right next to him, yet they seemed so accessible, he just had to lean a little bit, and he would have got what he thought his heart had been so eagerly wanting in the past two days. That however, was just wishful thinking, for there was no way on earth that he could taking such an initiative.

Mentally sighing, he passed to observe Takanori's incredibly relaxed, and ever untouched ones. The teenager always looked so calm and austere, it felt like being in presence of royalty, and in his particular case, silence was simply part of his persona, and it was also safe to assume that he would have moved those lips only for what he considered an intelligent conversation, or must recently, to act excessively polite, and almost disturbingly shy towards Yutaka, who still was trying to figure out a way to get around that, and not having a solution at the moment, he decided to pass to the next pair of lips; Akira's.

And there, his theory of life being a mess of random emotions, got heavily tested, for as he landed his gaze on Akira's unusual absent expression, he just stopped, and stared. Stared at the only pair of lips, which he couldn't see. Lips belonging to the mouth, which the apprentice had seen, and also first-hand experienced, as it heedlessly caused harm, and mercilessly inflicted pain. Those lips were now, hidden behind a dull looking hand, perhaps, in utter shame at the sudden realization of the brutalities it had proffered, or perhaps, just in order for it not to cause any more damage. Since their last heated encounter, the previous day in his room, where the brunette, was readily brandishing a letter opener, ready to attack if needed, something had happened to the lawyer, something that turned him into the listless, and unmotivated being, whom Yutaka was inertly staring at. But the real unexpected thing was that his randomly jumbled emotions were making it so that such behavior was fazing him tremendously. Why was he suddenly feeling so uncomfortable at the fact that the lawyer wasn't lashing hatred at him anymore? He had no clue, and it truly was bothering him to no end, which in itself was a disturbing feeling, not to say rather unintelligible, for he couldn't explain how after insanely dreading a certain somebody, for something they did, how he could be suddenly saddened by the fact that they weren't doing that something anymore.

A normal person would have only been grateful to finally be rid of that feeling of wanting to disappear, of favoring hell to facing their torment, yet, it appeared he didn't quite fall in the category of normal people, for despite sitting next to the man he he was so infatuated with, and being constantly eyed by the young man, whose feeling he knew he just couldn't reciprocate, he kept speechlessly staring, like in a daze, at the one person he was so certain he hated, sitting right in front of him, absently looking out of the window, seemingly not having a care in the world.

-Anything the matter Mr. Uke? ...- suddenly asked Yuu's gentle voice, turned to face the apprentice, who snapped from his Akira staring daze, and merely shook is head in slight embarrassment and negation, as he newly quickly glanced at the blond - it appears like there is something that peeked you interest on the Face of Justice...- playfully observed Yuu, as the person in question merely shifted his eyes in their direction, offering Yutaka a clear view of the stare that used to terrorize him to no end, but was now looking lifeless. Something was missing.

-No … -quickly replied Yutaka, turning to face Yuu with a bashful smile -... there is nothing wrong with it ...- he then calmly added, shyly lowering his face to his laps.

-So you do admit at having stared at it for the past ten minutes ...- grinned the bodyguard, slightly leaning into Yutaka, whose eyes suddenly widened for the taller's unexpected sentence, while turning even redder for the sudden proximity with the brunette, as he unknowingly began to pull away, while he instinctively glimpsed sideways at Akira, who was still watching, which made the apprentice unreasonably uncomfortable.

-N-no ...I was not ...- tried to reply Yutaka, whose head suddenly hit his side of the carriage, as Yuu kept nonchalantly leaning in, under Takanori's aggravated expression

-Ever heard of personal space you monkey ...-suddenly uttered the black leather gloved teen, outright glaring at the elder brunette, whose hands where now on both sides of Yutaka's gaze averting face, or more precisely, Akira glimpsing face.

-You are blushing ...- whispered Yuu, seemingly not acknowledging the younger blonde, and finding himself a few centimeters away from the apprentice face, who suddenly felt his heartbeat race -... it looks cute on you though, makes me want to kiss you … -continued the elder in a huskier tone, as Yutaka's eyes suddenly widened, and his heartbeat spiked to maximum highs. However, to his own utter confusion, the reaction wasn't caused by the elder's wantonly expressed desire, but by the fact that Akira was still watching them, which made him do what just some minutes ago, he wouldn't have envisioned himself ever doing; he quickly raised his hands flat against Yuu's chest, while turning his head away, all under his immense stupor -... but I am not the one you want to be kissed by it seems ...- lightly sighed Yuu in pretense dejection, newly smiling at the apprentice, as he gracefully pulled himself away from a majorly flustered apprentice, who resumed biting his lower lip in nervousness, and confusion, while repositioning his body properly facing forward, with his head hanging low, away from the rest of the passengers; away from Akira.

-What was that all about?- quickly snapped Takanori, pointedly glaring at grinning Yuu

-Nothing ...- calmly stated the elder brunette, lightly shrugging, as well staring at the blond in amusement, while folding his arms in his chest -... it was just really getting to boring in here- he then added, soon after turning his gaze out of his own window, with Takanori's burning gaze still fixed on him.

Newly glimpsing at the blond sitting in front of him, Yutaka saw the lawyer, taking out, and tying a piece of cloth around his nose, which quickly brought him back to the first day they met, the spilled beer, Tora and Saga, his attempt to apologize, and his first threat, and as he carefully thought through it all, many were the times in which the the blond could have proceeded, and harm him just for the whim of it, as some of his siblings freely, and heedlessly had, yet, he hadn't. Lots of yelling, anger and threatening, but even as closed as they found themselves to each other, never had the blond set a finger on him; not once.

-We are almost there ...- announced the blond, now turning to face the rest of the passengers -... just as a reminder ... once out of this carriage it's Reita, not Akira ...- he instructed. Takanori and Yuu merely nodded, apparently much accustomed to the entire thing, but it would have been the first time for the apprentice, whom even though he had heard Kazamasa ,and others call the lawyer Reita, he himself had never done so, and was no praying, and begging his memory, not to make him slip and say the wrong thing; that would have probably gave enough reason for the blond to actually set more than a finger on him.

Five minutes later they had indeed arrived, the same exact spot where he had first set foot with Dr. Niikura a couple of days ago, so excited to be in the big city, and with so much expectation; things turned out to be completely different. However, still standing he was, with a completely different mission, and definitely completely set of mind, but he was still Yutaka; for the most part.

-Do we need to split? ...- inquired Yuu, once Reita had joined them after an exchange of words with the driver of their carriage

-No need ...- dryly replied Takanori -... I need to be notebooks as well - he then swiftly added

-Alright then, lets make this quick and painless, shall we ...- dejectedly sighed the lawyer, as he began to walk

-Is this your first time downtown Mr. Uke?- politely inquired Yuu, who had been observing the brunette's curious and excited expressions at some of the stores they were passing by on their way to a bookstore

-Not exactly ...- shyly replied the apprentice -... the first time it was night so I couldn't discern much … and the following day, we departed soon after breakfast, so I had really no time for any sight-seeing - he explained, as he kept interestingly looking around

-Well then maybe, we should take this chance, and do so ...- suggested the brunette

-... We have no time for that- quickly, and dryly interrupted Reita, who had silently been listening to their conversation, same as Takanori, who was visibily breathing in and out in what appeard like anger

-I-it is alright ...- apologetically replied the apprentice, glancing at Reita -... I truly had no intention to- he quickly added, wondering exactly why was he trying to justify himself in order to appease the lawyer, rather than protecting himself from being maybe attacked by him.

-A quick tour will not hurt anybody … Mr. Lawyer of Justice - readily observed Yuu, who stopped on his tracks, followed by a questioning Yutaka, and soon after by the remaining two, whom noticing the absence of the others followed suit, and turn around to face them on their spots.

-You know what Yuu ...- began the lawyer, taking a few steps to get closer to said brunette -... you are really starting to get on my ner-

-Mr. Reita!- suddenly yelled a voice, making the quartet turn to their sides, and observed as a speed walking woman, holding a basket with one hand, and an almost running child with the other -Good evening Mr. Reita - newly exclaimed the lady, as she got closer to the taller nosebanded blond, whom turned to face her, and politely bowed as well -I was hoping I would see you again sir, I still couldn't properly thank you enough for helping my husband, with that lawsuit, which we would have defnitely lost, given our low social standing ...- began the woman, with a fond smile, as she looked down to caress the head of her little kid.

-It was my pleasure Mrs. Chiba- politely replied the blond, slightly bowing, and soon after, performing something that Yutaka thought he never would have seen, in a million years; he smiled. And it felt so sincere, so warm, like he were looking at a completely different person, and maybe he was. Maybe Reita, and Akira were two completely different people, and he was now beginning to wonder, which of the two the lawyer really was.

-We are so blessed to have someone such as yourself, who would want to help poor people like us ...- gratefully sighed the woman, as she continued in her little conversation with the blond, which Yutaka wasn't too keen on listening, for he was so lost in finally observing those lips, which he hadn't had any clue could perform such an amazing gesture, so lost he hadn't notice Takanori quickly, and harshly taking Yuu to the side, and practically leaving him there alone with the lawyer, so lost, and inwardly wishing never to be found.

-No, it is my pleasure to be able to help people such as yourself … it makes me feel better, somehow - politely replied Akira

-Well, since I finally got to meet you again, here ...- confidently stated the woman, handing the basket to the lawyer, who took it a bit hesitatingly, and even that expression seemed to grace him quite well

-it is a truly modest token of appreciation … given that we couldn't pay, and all ...- apologetically expressed the woman, this time in a saddened tone, as she bowed

-There was no need to, seriously ...- quickly replied the lawyer, taking a step forward, to make the woman raise from her bow

-Bless your soul, Mr. Reita! - exclaimed the woman, making the blond gratefully smiling once more, and making the quietly observing brunette wanting for such moments to never end.

Then the little kid, walked closer to the lawyer, and gently pulled on his pants in order to gain the blond's attention, who looked down, and stooped to get on the same level with the kid

-Yes Yomi, how can I help you? - kindly inquired the lawyer

-When I grow up, I will be just like you! - confidently expressed the kid, in a slightly loud tone, making his mother, walk to take him back in slight embarrassment, as she reprimanded him in a low tone for shouting in public.

-No Yomi ...- sighed Reita, as he got back to his feet -... you have to become better than me, promise?- he instructed, with a feign serious pout, as the kid confidently nodded his head

-Mhmm- loudly hummed Yomi - I promise!-

-Good - replied the lawyer, taking a step forward, to ruffle the younger's brown locks.

-Oh! ...- newly scream Yomi, soon after closing his mouth with his hand, and tentatively looking upwards, fearing to have angered his mother again, whom only gave him a warning look, as he widely smiled, and brought out what looked like two long chicken bones, and handed them to an utterly confused Akira, who hesitantly extended his hand, and received the gift -... those are for Tora and Saga ...- calmly explained Yomi, nodding his head

-Ooo … I see ...- replied Akira, sounding more understanding -... they will certainly be happy to receive this - assured the lawyer, making the kid cheerfully grin, as he returned towards his slightly ashamed looking mother

-Do forgive him … he ...- tried to explain Mrs. Chiba

-He is just a kid ...- smiled the lawyer, looking at the bones, as if wondering where he could keep them, when Yutaka quickly searched in his pocket, and was happy to find a handkerchief, with which he walked towards the blond

-Here, you can use this ...- hesitantly spoke the brunette -... to wrap them- he then added, as he observed the lawyer's quizzical expression clarify, as he nodded in agreement, once the purpose was explained

-Thank you ...- lowly replied Reita, but without a smile, which the brunette wasn't expecting to receive, but was quite satisfied to have at least received a thank you.

-Well, we have to take our leave I am afraid, but please do take care, and may you remain blessed- concluded the woman, newly bowing, after which she turned around, and walked away with her child, who turned towards the lawyer, as he walked away to frantically wave back at him, who replied with a wave of his hand.

Once the couple was out of sight, the apprentice wished for the first time in a while, that he could disappear, not in fear of the blond, but this time, because he knew that now, as soon as Akira would turn around to look at him, that smile of his would disappear, which just as predicted did, but for a different reason, as they both turned around and started walking in the direction of what sounded like a screaming person; a person that was screaming Takanori.

-Takanori! ...- newly screamed the voice, as Yutaka finally noticed the absence of the other two, and followed Akira towards a back alley road, where they found a suffering crouched Yuu, who was holding himself between his leg.

-Yuu ...? - worryingly hissed the blond, immediately crouching next to the brunette, while Yutaka rapidly turned his head side to side, in search of the younger blond, starting to feel sorry, for having not paid any attention to the couple -what happened?where is Takanori? - quickly inquired Akira sounding nothing but panicked

-Shit ...- angrily hissed Yuu -what happened is that you brother knows anatomy just a little to well ...- began Yuu painfully trying to get on his feet -... we had an argument ...- he then admitted, once he was helped up by the still awaiting blond -... and I wasn't expecting him to knee me right there, and while I was on the floor … when I get him- he suddenly stopped talking, and looking down the alley, he began running as fast as his still aching member could allow him.

-What argument? Where did he go?- yelled Akira, who was looking rather pale at the moment, as he began to run to reach the other, while Yutaka could do nothing but follow

-That is irrelevant at the moment ...- snapped Yuu as he began to run faster, and who quickly turned around to spot that Akira and Yutaka were running with him, and there was an expression that Yutaka never would have thought he would see on the brunette; anger, and despair -We need to find him, it's getting dark, and you know how bad this alley becomes the further down you- tried to explain the brunette, but had no time to conclude, for Akira had already had increased his speed -Stop! - tiredly yelled Yuu, increasing his speed, and somehow managing to grab Reita's arm, while Yutaka, who wasn't fit for any kind of physical strain, tried his best to keep up.

-What?! ...- furiously, and wearily screamed the blond, worry visibly painted all over both men faces, as Yutaka was finally able to catch up with them, and crashed on a wall bent on his knees

-Look … around ...- panted out the brunette, and Reita quickly followed said instructions, and if possible becoming even paler, at which Yutaka began to look around as well, and after a few second or so, made the same realization; side roads.

-We need to split - firmly stated the brunette

-Yes ...but fucking where ...- sighed Reita, pointing out to the fact that there was more than two side roads, and who was customary pressing his index on his forehead in frustration -Shit … shit … shit, shit, shit!- angrily yelled the blond -you were supposed to protect him! How the hell the did this happen? - screamed Akira, getting closer to an extremely mortified brunette -How?! That is what I pay you for, all I pay you for! - continued yelling the blond, as Yutaka remained leaning on the wall, still panting and silently observing both enraged man, realizing just how much he hated to see the blond in such state, and just how misplaced everyone's true emotions were - Now? If something hap-

-The hell with you!- loudly interjected Yuu, catching the blond slightly off-guard -Why do you think I am panicking, uh?! - continued a rather irate brunette, locking their burning gaze -And it is not for the money, I could give a shit, I do not even use it, I am saving that bit as well! - loudly explained the brunette - I love your brother Akira! it is because I love him! - Yuu finally confessed, obtaining a loud sigh form the blond.

The desperation of the elder brunette was now clear to Yutaka, who thought that hearing such a sentence coming from Yuu about someone else, would have caused him immeasurable pain, but it didn't. It didn't, and it was starting to get clearly obvious why; blondly obvious. He wish he could do something to help, but once again all he could offer were his brains, and a the moment, he didn't think they needed that, especially if they were to stumble in a fight, he would have must likely been a nuisance.

-We are wasting time … and I truly doubt that splitting is a good idea after all, but- was about to continue, when he was interjected by a rather distinctive yell, at which Yuu, without any warning, got to his feet, and began tor un down one of the side roads, where the scream seemed to have come from, sson followed by Reita, and an unsure Yutaka.

-Go to hell!- screamed the voice, now cleare, as they turned a corner, and found themselves in front of Takanori, being pressed to a wall, and with one men holding a knife. Yuu was about to barge in, but ws pulled back by Akira, who dragged him out of view

-What the hell - hissed Yuu glaring at the blond

-We need to do this strategically, if we barge in just like that he is going to use the knife against him ...- righetously observed the blond

-You can scream all you want, but everyone knows not to come down this way … thus, nobody is going to come here … you see! I am screaming, and there is nobody coming! - yelled the man, making Yuu quickly widen his eyes in anger, inciting Akira to quickly explain what they had to do

-Go down this side road, I will go in by here, and make him look at him, in such way he will still take him hostage, but he will be facing me, and you should be able to attack him from the back, coming out of the right side road, understood? - quickly explained the blond - Mr. Uke will come with me so do not worry - he then swiftly added, noticing the glance that the brunette gave in his direction. Yuu quickly got up, and ran down a parallel side road, as Akira quickly turned around to face a now utterly scared brunette -I presume you do not know any self defense methods? - inquired the blond, at which Yutaka quickly shook his head in agreement -... alright, I cannot leave you here by yourself, in fact I doubt he is alone ...- sighed Akira, looking around. -... do not for anything leave my side, understood? - sternly ordered the blond - quickly getting up and directing himself towards his brother, closely followed by a slightly trembling Yutaka -

-Leave him alone ...- yelled Akira, as soon as they walked into the road, and as predicted, the criminal got hold of Takanori, placing him in front of himself, and pointing his knife at the younger's neck

-Unless? ...- calmly inquired the criminal, displaying a smug grin

-Ak- tried to call out Takanori, but a closer view of the criminal's knife, made him quickly close his mouth

-The usual ...- calmly began Akira, trying to make small talk, waitin for Yuu to emerge from somewhere -I will come there, kick your arse, call the police, and story ended -explained the blond, taking one step forwards, and surprisingly keeping his voice very cool, but which Yutaka attributed as a normal occurrence to the blond's profession

-Cocky are we not? ...- continued the brunette -... I was just trying to have some fun … and still intend to - expressed the man, bending over to slowly lick Takanori's face, which action seemed to have stroke a very wrong chord in Akira, who seemed one step close from blowing his perfect calm facade, when he saw Yuu arriving at the back, silently, and carefully getting himself closer to the pair

-I truly do not believe that to be a good … leave the kid - dryly spoke Akira, who began to walk forward at a regular pace

-I see … - stated the criminal, placing the knife on Takanori's neck, making it lightly bleed, and Akira, and Yutaka instantly stop - … thought so ...- stated the criminal, as he began walking backwards dragging Takanori along. Yutaka was sure that if Yuu were not to have been there, Akira would have done something stupid, and at the moment he was immensely grateful, for the promptness of the brunette, who halted, and as soon as the criminal was at a good reach, raised his elbow and violently hit him on the back. The criminal fell along with an overly shocked Takanori, who was wide-eyed and shaking

-Takanori! ... - yelled Akira, as he and Yutaka ran towards the crouched blond, who was now being tightly held by Yuu in an almost smothering embrace -Takanori are you alright?- quickly questioned Akira, as the younger simply nodded tightly holding himself to Yuu, as Akira nodded in relief -Fast we need to get out of here - firmly stated the blond, looking up at Yuu, who nodded, and got off the ground carrying the shocked blond bridal style.

Every thing seemed to be finally alright, which allowed the brunette to at least breathe, which he realized he wasn't doing. Now all they had to do was get the hell out, as soon as they could, and that seemed easy enough to do, however, as they passed by the spot where Takanori had been originally placed to the wall, a familiar little brown pouch, which thanks to his reliable memory he had no problems to associate to Takanori

-One second ...- quickly informed the brunette

-... What now ... - irritatedly sighed the blond, as he turned around to face Yutaka, and then, it happened all to fast for the brunette to even realize how, and what had happened, for one second, he was bending to pick up said pouch, and in another, he was staring at pained looking Akira, who looked straight into Yutaka's eyes seemingly wanting to say something, but simply fell over him, revealing a different man, holding the knife that belonged to the previous criminal, stained with blood, that must certainly didn't belong to him either, as Yutaka quickly looked down at Akira's heavily panting body that he was carrying, and spotted a largely spreading blood spot on the blonds back.

-A … ki ... ra ...- was all that Yutaka could utter, finding himself in a deep daze, his brain wasn't connecting, his body wasn't moving, and all he saw next, was the same man angrily raising his knife towards them, which made the apprentice instinctively cover the blond's body with his, as he quickly closed his eyes waiting for the hit. All his years of study, all his aspiration, everything would have ended just like that, with a lot of pain, and a lot of regrets, and now, now that he could have prayed to the gods, and asked for help, as he it was his custom to do in times of need, he found himself praying, and wishing for something else instead, the only thing that his heart felt like it truly wanted at the moment -... I wish I could see your smile again -
