kizuna_exchange. Man, this request has been a challenge since I've never written something like this. I'm not sure if it fully satisfies your request, but I hope you'll still enjoy reading it. I kind of got some inspiration from Ayane Yamano's Viewfinder Series. This is rated R for a reason. With this you are warned.
Summary: A criminal, heir of a Yakuza clan and a model, aspiring lawyer? Impossible! Or maybe not. Nothing is impossible if true love, forced it may have been at the beginning, is what they have between them.~
PART ONE
Fear and horror. Those were the things that paralyzed the 16 year old Kazuya as he stared at the dead body of the detective who had taken care of him for two long years.
"Ki...Kimura-kun?" He uttered as tears started to fall from his unbelievably wide eyes. He stepped forward and kneeled next to the body and started shaking it.
"Wake up... don't joke like that..." he mumbled, despair was written in his eyes. He was so focused on the detective he almost forgot of the one who shot him.
"My, my, my. What we have here?" A cruel voice resounded in the thick air of the night, snapping Kazuya from his grieving.
There stood a young man, gun in his right hand and a smirk on his face, who, started to walk towards him. Run!Run!Run! Kazuya kept shouting in his head, but his body stood frozen, terror eating at him so much that his limbs refused to move.
The man bent down and lifted Kazuya's chin with a finger.
"So pretty, aren't we?" He said before turning his attention to his men.
"I think I found a pretty, new toy."
Then there were sounds of footsteps.
"Kazuya!!!"
Kazuya looked up and saw his friend running to save him. His face lightened up with hope, only to transform in horror when he heard the gunshots. He shouted and tried to run away from the hand gripping his wrist, but then, everything turned black.
~
When he woke up, he was on a white fluffy bed. His body hurt and his head was so heavy he didn't try to sit up.
"I see you are awake little Flower." Kazuya blinked at the guy who entered the room. He tried to remember him, but his memories were a wreck and fuzzy. He shut his eyes close trying to focus on what happened to him. To his desolation, he couldn't remember. The memories were there, but so confused and blurry. He told that to the guy sitting on the bed next to him who somewhat smiled brightly. The guy hugged him. He should feel safe, right? Instead he felt a sense of apprehension. His body tensed but he didn't move away. He stayed in the guy's embrace trying to assess if he was a friend or a foe.
Uchi felt the body in his arms tense. He smiled and whispered sweet nothingness to soothe the boy. How happy he was when the young boy seemed to not clearly remember what happened and hell, he knew how to take advantage of that. A confused mind with confused memories was easily brainwashed. He would make the boy his ally. He would make him his right hand, loyal only to him. He smiled evilly. He would just need to ask a final approval from his old man and would start to train the boy.
"It'll be alright. Don't be afraid." He said softly with the gentlest smile he could muster.
"I'm Hiroki, your best friend and also your designated master." He started.
"Master?"
"Yes. You are part of the Uchi House..."
"Uchi house?"
"Yes. We are a Yakuza clan and you were born to be my one only loyal right hand. You vowed you will always be with me in my syndeo."
Kazuya's eyes widen. He was a Yakuza? He tried to swallow the lump in his throat.
"Is this the reason why I am here? Did I get injured?" he whispered. Hiroki nodded. It was going well more than he had expected.
"Yes. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you." Hiroki said guiltily making Kazuya shake his head.
"No, no! You said it right? I should be the one to protect you and not the other way around! So don't feel guilty. I am okay as you see."
Hiroki smiled, this time, a genuine one. It seemed that he had found himself a kind, gentle soul.
"Still, you are my bestfriend and you were under my responsibilities, too. I promised that on your parents funeral." He said quietly. "Plus, you weren't trained to fight...so..."
"I wasn't?" Kazuya was surprised and pouted when Hiroki shook his head then nodded.
"Then, to avoid this to happen again, I shall train once I got better!" And Kazuya was determined to do it.
Hiroki smiled. Yes. This cute little flower would be his in the future. He would make this little one his when the right time came.
~
Jin was comfortably sitting on his desk as he stared out of the window. He was in his office and though he really wanted to go and see his little, feisty cat, he couldn't since he had many matters to in hand. However, that didn't stop him from sending Kyousuke to pick Kazuya from his place. Jin grinned. If he couldn't go there, then he'd make sure Kazuya would be there with him.
He was caught out of his musings when his phone rang. It was Kyousuke.
"Yes? Were you able to get him 'cause I'm sure he'll fuss about it."
"Boss... He's not here. And I had a bad feeling about it."
At those words, Jin stood up.
"Tell me."
"His cellphone and his groceries are scattered outside his door. It seems that there was a fight in here...I'm not sure."
"Hold on. I'll go there."
With that, Jin took his coat and ran away from his office.
"Boss! Where are you going? You have a mee..." The secretary gulped when he received a death glare.
"Josh. Cancel the meeting or tell my father to go in my place. If he asked where I am, make a believable excuse."
With that, Jin disappeared from his sight. Josh, the secretary, sighed. How on earth is he going to tell their Head Clan? He was sure he'd get punished for it. He sighed, dreading what kind of punishment he'd get this time.
~
Jin arrived in Kazuya's place with his loyal men in tow. He looked around and nodded at Kyousuke who seemed to be anxious. Despite his stoic face, Kyousuke had also come to like that brat. At first it was because Kazuya seemed to be able to make their boss smile and laugh genuinely more often than not, but in those three months, Kyousuke and the other two body guards, aka Yamada and Shota, had grown fond of him: of his usually childish antics, of his determination to succeed even if the situation was against him, of his love for freedom and also of his undeniable talent in the kitchen which they had the pleasure to taste.
"It seems that my little cat tried to fight." Jin's voice was serious as he picked up something, a piece of clothe with a stigma, on the floor. His eyes became dark in anger as he saw the stigma.
"Uchi." he whispered as he stood up. He looked at his men who understood and without a single word, each of them went to do the task that was silently given to them.
Jin picked Kazuya's phone and saw the screensaver in it. "Sculls, huh?" there was fondness in his voice.
"Ryo." He called the moment the other one answered his call.
"Jin, what is it"
"Uchi has Kazuya."
"Wait, what? That Kazuya?" Ryo had met the boy accidentally when he went to barge into Jin's place and saw Kazuya in his bed.
"Yeah."
"Is it because he wants you?"
"I don't know. But I need to get him back as soon as possible."
~
"I don't know. But I need to get him back as soon as possible."
Ryo nodded as he put back his phone in his pocket. He could tell the worry in Jin's voice. It seemed that his best friend was so fond of that boy.
"What's the matter?"
Ryo looked at his lover sitting across the table as they were drinking coffee together at his place.
"Jin... he said Uchi had kidnapped his Kazuya."
At that name Ueda furrowed his brows. "Did you just say Kazuya? Is Kamenashi Kazuya you're talking about?" there was eagerness in his voice as stood up.
"Well. I'm not sure if his family name, but yes, Kazuya is his name. Why?" Ryo asked perplexed as he watched his lover pace back and forth in front of him.
"I think the reason of why Uchi took Kazuya has nothing to do with Jin..." he whispered.
Ryo waited for Ueda to continue.
"I think it's that Kazuya himself. Remember, I told you about that boy Koki and his father came across years ago? It seems that he and that Kazuya is the same person." Saying that, Ueda took his jacket and put on his shoes.
"Ryo, I have to go! I have to inform Koki about this!" with a quick peck on the lips, Ueda went to their office.
Ryo decided to call Jin and meet up with him. This situation had become interesting.
~
Kazuya found himself tied on the bed with Uchi hovering above him, a glint of madness in his eyes.
"Little Flower. I am back, back to punish you for your betrayal. However, don't worry, I won't kill you. Afterall, you are my right hand, my little Flower. I'll just have to make you remember who you are, ahem, or precisely, who you should be."
Kazuya glared at him, hatred was written all over his face.
"I won't be your pet anymore! I won't let you brainwash me again! I am not a kid anymore!" he hissed. Uchi laughed at that.
"Let's see how much it'll take me to break you." Saying that, he tugged and ripped the other one's clothes. His eyes darkened when he saw the love marks on Kazuya's pale skin. He slapped him hard enough to bruise.
"You whore! You let someone touch you?" There was anger and madness in those eyes that Kazuya had never seen.
"You let a man touch you when I, I tried hard not to because I want to reap you when the right time comes and you, you fucking shit let someone else take what's rightfully mine?"
Another slap, this time making Kazuya's lips bleed.
"Nothing of me was rightfully yours, Hiroki. Not even before. You stole it from me."
Another hard slap, then Kazuya was push harshly down on the bed, this time fully naked.
Uchi turned him around and roughly violated him. He screamed as pure pain ripped through out his body. He could feel something drip down his thighs and he could tell it was blood. He gritted his teeth, trying to not scream. With tears wetting his face, Kazuya stubbornly gripped on the sheets as Uchi continued to move roughly inside him, hands and mouth were all over his body.
When he woke up the next morning, he couldn't even feel his body. It felt numb. He scanned it and winced at the dried blood on the sheets and on his thighs along with dried semen. He took note of the bruises and cuts all over his body. They aren't deep, so they wouldn't leave any scars. Knowing Hiroki, he could say that the man would never do anything to mar what he considered his. And at the moment, Hiroki considered him a part of his belongings.
He scoffed, but winced when he the stinging pain of the wounds that the man caused him, including his asshole.
He forced himself to stand up and slowly went to the bathroom. As he started to wash himself, he couldn't help but think of Jin. True, Jin did also rape him the first time, but it was different. While with Hiroki he had only felt pain and disgust, Jin made sure that after the initial pain, he would enjoy it too. Also, Jin had never hurt him and would always try to pleasure him before seeking out his own needs. It was in that moment that Kazuya realized how much he longed for the other man's touches. No matter how much he denied it, to fight it, he knew and his body knew that he was forever addicted to Jin's scent, craving for his touches and kisses.
"Jin..." He couldn't help the lone tear from falling, mixing with the water from the shower.
Kazuya knew he had to escape, he had to. He didn't want to be that little Flower again. No, he refused to accept that that person was him.
~
Koki was freaking out as he gave instructions to his men. Kazuya was caught by Uchi!
"Koki, calm down. We'll save him" His partner Shirota tried to calm him with Ueda and Taguchi eyeing him. After the news of Kazuya being kidnapped by Uchi, the file about him that had been hidden, was taken out for some police to have more information.
"I know. But I promised to my father I'll make sure that person won't bring harm to him anymore and won't use him no more."
"Then call Pi and Maru...we need them" From the corner of the office, Tsubasa, a veteran officer, spoke mentioning their secret agents, who were given the task to look after the boy for reasons they knew.
"Yeah. I think they are also worried." Taguchi said which made Koki nod and did as he was told.
"Also, we have to work with Akanishi." Ueda finally was able to say what Ryo told him.
"What? Are you insane?" Koki was livid, but was able to handle his anger.
"I told you, right? Pi said that Akanishi and Kazuya seem to be in a kind of a relationship and a trustworthy source told me that Akanishi cares a lot for our boy." Obviously, that source was Ryo, but he couldn't say it, could he?
~
Nakamaru and Yamashita were on their way to the station. Tanaka called them and asked them to report immediately.
"Uchi... I can't believe he's back!" Nakamaru greeted his teeth as he drove, Yamashita looked outside. He was worried for Kazuya. Three years ago, he was assigned to look after the boy, a boy who had been under the Uchi clan. Kazuya, after helping the police to catch most of those Yakuza and bring the clan down, should have been arrested, but his situation was different. He had been used taking advantage of his memory loss. And the fact that he had helped to destroy such criminals gave him the privilege to return back to his normal life. After that incident, he was sent to a mental hospital and put under observation for a month, and once he was proven to be harmless to the society, he was judged as a free man. Though unknown to him, two agents were watching him and when he was recruited as a model, Yamashita Tomohisa and Nakamaru Yuichi, with the help of their higher ups, were able to intrude into the fashion business. It wasn't a coincidence that wherever Kazuya worked, Yamashita was there, too. And it wasn't also a coincidence that Nakamaru had become his manager.
At first, it was only for their job, but both of them had grown fond of the younger one throughout the years they spent together with him. They had come to know the real person that was Kamenashi Kazuya. They had come to cherish his kindness and honesty, his determination to live a free life, a life he wanted for himself, his dreams of becoming a lawyer.
And now, Uchi was back and they would do their best to keep him safe and sane.
~
Kazuya was sitting on the couch with his dull eyes looking at nothingness. It had been a week since he was there, put under physical violence in every way possible, drugged every morning just the way he was now. Yet, despite his fuzzy mind, he still could think. He'd been thinking of ways to escape. He looked at his hands, bruises covering them, the marks of the rope that was used to tie him was still visible around his wrists.
"Little Flower. How long are you going to endure before you break? How long are you going to make me wait for you to come back to me?" Uchi whispered to his ears just like every morning, but Kazuya gave no sign of acknowledgement. He sat there unfazed. He didn't want to show how that situation was wearing him out.
"I'll continue until you finally give in into the monster that you are, into my little beloved Flower."
Fuck you! That monster is not me! That's the person you created in me! Not me! And I'm no longer confused, memory-less kid! I won't let you manipulate me ever again!
"Very well, little Flower, would you want to watch me practice?"
With that, Uchi dragged him to the undergrounds, a training ground for them.
~
Jin was now face to face with Tanaka Koki, the one who'd been trying to catch him red-handed doing his underground businesses, but failed everytime.
"They told me you know Kazuya? How did you meet?" Koki asked a bit wary. Hell, who would not? They were in the criminal's den, surrounded by those stoic, shady men who were carrying massive guns and God only knew what else.
" I don't think it's part of your business on how I and Kazuya met and what kind of relationship we have. You are here coz someone told me you can help me with the investigations. I want to find Kazuya as soon as possible in a more open and legal way, that's why I agreed to meet you here. However, if I deem you not helpful, I shall act on my own."
"You...how..."
A loud bang was heard and Kyosuke with another familiar man came inside. Jin stood up.
"Matsumoto Jun." He uttered.
Jun took a seat and smiled smugly.
"Hello Jin, long time no see!" he waved at him making Jin snort. No one knew, but they both had known each other for almost a life time.
"What are you doing here Jun?" Then his eyes darkened. "Aren't you with Arashi? You know where that bastard is, don't you?"
Jun raised both his hands seeing Jin advance dangerously to his direction.
"Woah, calm down Jinny boy!" Jin twitched at that nick name.
"Okay, wait. Let me explain." Jun said with a deep sigh as everyone in the room, including the police, looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
"True, Arashi WAS with them. But that was a minor business. Our job is done and we closed the deal, which was the reason we had a contact with the Uchis."
"So you're saying that you are not working with/for them now?" Koki asked to which Jun nodded.
"Jin, as your long time friend... And hello there to you, too Ryo!" They glared at him.
He coughed. "Well, it seems that Hiroki took something important from you, and because I am a good friend of yours, I'll tell you where they are before it's too late, coz you might just find a cold body once you get there ..."
"What do you want in exchange?" Jin asked.
"You know me too well! Well, nothing really big, you know. I just want that contract you have with the Italian Mafia..."
Everyone gasped, especially Jin's men. They knew how much trouble their young master went through to get that deal. That was the same deal Uchi was working on before Jin came into the picture and got it.
"Okay." Jin answered without a second thought.
"But boss..." one of his men tried to differ, but Jin hissed at him.
"That's just a contract. I'll make new ones with other cosa nostra. Now, tell me where Kazuya is. And I want to make sure he's really there before I give you the dean of the contract."
Jun nodded, pleased. He had never thought Jin would give up something as big as the dean for a mere boy, but then again, he hadn't met an in love Jin before that moment.
"No problem. I know you are a man of your words."
Koki was gaping. Based on the men's reactions, that dean, or whatever it was, was very important, yet Jin was giving it just for an info of Kazuya's whereabouts. He stared at Jin and for the first time, respected the man. He could say that Kazuya was really important to him. Gesh, Kazuya, why do you always get involved with criminals?
~
Kazuya was sitting on the bed. Two weeks, two weeks had passed and if he didn't do anything to escape, he'd be doomed. He knew his body wouldn't take more of what they'd been doing to him. He looked outside. This was the time for him to act. If he failed, then, he'd rather die than become that *person* again. The only regret he might have was not seeing those people he came to cherish: his best friend Yamapi, his manager Nakamaru, his partner Ayase, yes, even his land lady, his law teacher, his friends. He sighed as he thought of a particular person. Jin. He smiled bitterly. Just when he had finally realized what he felt for the man, this happened. No, Kazuya shook his head. If this had never happened, he wouldn't have realized what he truly felt for Jin. At first, he thought it was only attraction, that impossibly strong need to be owned, held and touched by him. He thought it was because he was his first man, but as time passed by, it wasn't only the physical aspect he wanted, no, he wanted Jin's company, his respect, his approval and he wanted the older man to see him as an equal. He wanted the man to see him and love him.
How he wished he could see Jin one last time.
A knock shook him out of his reverie.
"I'm bringing you dinner."
A man in his mid thirties came inside bringing a tray. Right, Uchi was busy that morning. Usually, it was him who'd feed Kazuya.
Kazuya smiled. This was the opportunity he'd been waiting for. The moment the man put down the tray, Kazuya kicked him and took the gun in the man's holster.
"You..."
Kazuya pointed the gun.
"You little shit!" the man advanced, but paled when he heard a gunshot. He looked down and saw blood dripping from his stomach.
"What? You thought I can't use this?" Kazuya grinned before pulling the trigger again. He looked around and took new clothes from the closet as fast as he could. He knew for sure that the gunshot had alerted the entire mansion. He ran out of the room and scurried through the corridors, heart beating like mad. He bit his lips as he heard some men shouting for his name. He entered one room which seemed unused and calmed himself.
"I killed someone..." his voice trembled and episodes of the past he had tried hard to forget came flashing in his mind.
"No! No! Kazuya! Don't think about it!" he shook his head, something already cracking through his sanity.
~
Jin with his most trusted men, Yamada, Kyousuke and Shota, stepped outside the car. Jin didn't bring his other men, coz he knew this was his personal business. Every man in their syndeo was important and he knew his father would never forgive him if he dragged them with him.
"Jin!" Ryo ran to him with some of his men, though like him, he brought only three. They nodded at each other as they looked at the same direction. Far away from them, there was the Uchi mansion. From their researches, there were several hidden cameras around the mansion, inside and outside. Also there were at least five men patrolling the ground.
"Let's go"
"Aren't we going to wait for those cops?" Ryo asked.
"No." With that answer, Jin made his way to the mansion with his men. Ryo shook his head and called his lover to inform him that they were heading first.
"Oh well, time to go!" he signed his men to follow Jin's lead.
~
Hiroki Uchi shot one of his men in anger.
"Everyone! Look for him and don't stop until you find him! I'm sure he's still here!" he shouted.
Little Flower, I'd rather kill you than let someone have you.
With that thought, he went looking for that person he was so obsessed with, a grim grin appearing on his face as his eyes flashed with madness.
~
Kazuya was surprised when he heard men running and gunshots echoing throughout the place. He tried to peek outside and saw someone familiar running from trees to trees.
"Yamada-san?" his heart beat.
Jin is here? Jin came to save me?
He blinked and his eyes were full of determination to get out of there. With the gun in hand he leaned his ear on the door, assessing if it was safe to get out. When he heard nothing, he slowly and silently opened the door. He peeked outside and slid himself through the door. He looked around and started to run to the stairs.
He chocked when he came across two dead bodies, but sighed in relief when he didn't recognize them.
He turned around the corner when he was met by a barrel.
"Found you!"
Kazuya recognized him. He was one of Hiroki's men. He pushed the man and tried to run, but a bullet hit him on the shoulder. It stung, but he breathed when he noticed it was just a scratch. His eyes opened wide when he saw the man pointing the gun at him ready to pull the trigger. Before he could react, another gunshot was fired. He closed his eyes waiting for the pain to strike him, but blinked when he heard a thud. He opened his eyes and saw the man on the ground.
"Kame-chan!"
He turned around and gaped when he saw Yamapi and Nakamaru running to him dressed up in police uniform.
"Pi, Maru..." He mumbled. "What, how..."
"We'll explain it to you later. Right now we have to get away." Kazuya nodded as Yamapi pulled him and the three of them ran.
~
Jin shot every moving man that he didn't know with anger. Kazuya, where are you? He was desperate. He'd been running around for what seemed hours now and there was no trace of his Kazuya. Ryo and the police had also given negative reports. He cursed. Then he heard a scream.
"Kazuya!" he headed to where he heard his precious voice came from.
~
Kazuya screamed as he saw Pi and Maru on the floor, blood sipping through their clothes. He looked up and saw Hiroki from a far grinning madly.
"Pi, Maru..." he cried trying to help them up. He couldn't lose them. He just couldn't and especially, not because of him.
"We are fine Kame. You have to run now." Yamapi whispered while trying to stop the bleeding of his left leg.
"You go..." Maru smiled at him, he too had his hands on his stomach.
"But...."
They saw Hiroki running towards them.
"Run! Now!" Both the secret agents shouted, worrying for Kazuya's life more than for their own.
With a distraught expression, Kazuya did as told and ran for his life.
"Little Flower! You won't escape me this time! If I have to kill you, then I will!"
Hiroki was already behind him by a hundred meters.
~
Jin's eyes snapped wide as he saw Uchi firing his gun towards the running Kazuya. If he shot Hiroki, the latter's bullet might reach Kazuya before he could save him. Without any second thoughts, he ran towards Kazuya and smiled when he felt a bullet piercing his body. Uchi had shot twice. He saw the other one missing its target and the one hit him, so it meant Kazuya was safe.
Kazuya screamed when realization hit him as he landed on the floor with Jin on top of him.
"Hey little one. You okay?"
"You came... why?"
"What why? Though I am still late. I am sorry."
"Why?" Kazuya still asked in a whisper.
"Because you are so precious to me."
Kazuya was about to smile when Jin coughed and spitted blood before closing his eyes.
"Jin..."
Hiroki was about to fire again when he saw the police and their ally coming. He gave the two on the ground one last glance before running away.
~
Kazuya cradled Jin's head on his lap. The others approached, but Kazuya hissed at them. They stood still, watching the young model caress Akanishis's face. There was something in the model's behaviour that was unsettling.
"Jin..." Kazuya murmured, then episodes of his past came flashing vividly before his eyes. He saw his parents die, then he saw the detective's body lying on the ground soaking in his own pool of blood, then of himself with Hiroki learning to use the gun, then of him mercilessly murdering an entire family as Hiroki ordered to do, then of his cloths covered in blood of the men he killed.
Kazuya trembled and the part of his mind that had started to crack when he shot the man earlier finally shattered. With softness in his eye, he gave Jin's forehead a peck before he stood up, letting Ryo take care of Jin.
"Kazuya?" Koki was afraid seeing a different, no, a familiar old expression on the younger one's face.
"Koki..." Kazuya said and Koki was shocked.
"You remember me?" After the event years ago, after what he'd been through, his memories needed to be trampled for him to stay sane. Doing that, Kazuya had forgotten some people and episodes, and somehow, Koki was one of them. Koki and Kazuya had become friends thanks to detective Kimura. For two years, they had made each other's company doing normal teenagers would do, but also nosing on police's matters. When Kimura was shot to dead, Koki was there, too. He was the one who tried to save his friend when Hiroki took Kazuya, but was shot.
"Koki, I'm sorry." Kazuya said with a sad smile on his face.
"What are you saying? No need to apologize!" Koki hugged him and stayed that way for a while before pulling apart.
"Koki... take them home. Take everyone home." Then Kazuya turned to Jin who was already being medicated by his men.
"Take Jin away from here." Then his gaze landed on Ryo, who he knew was Jin's best friend.
"Please tell him that I love him"
With that, Kazuya picked up Jin's gun and started to walk away.
"Wait, where are you going?" Koki would be damn if he let his dear friend go.
"I'm going to end this. A thing I should've done years ago. I'm going to kill Hiroki."
"You can't! Don't this to yourself!" Koki's tone was desperate, if Kazuya took that path again; there would be no turning back.
Kazuya raised his gun against them. With a sad smile he said his goodbyes and in a flash, he disappeared from their view.
~
Jin woke up with a start and groaned.
"You're finally awake." Ryo, who was sitting on the chair next to his bed said with a mocking concern in his voice.
"Really, how did you let yourself be shot like that? It's a miracle it didn't go to your heart."
Jin didn't pay him attention, instead, he looked around.
"Kazuya, where's Kazuya?" He asked, his eyes piercing directly at Ryo who fidgeted on his seat.
"Well, you see..." Ryo's eyes darted on the floor. He couldn't look into his friend's eyes directly, that was until he heard a chilling commanding voice asking him to speak.
He gulped.
"He went after that Uchi... we...I..." after last night, the Koki had to explain them who Kazuya really was and why Uchi wanted him.
Kamenashi, after being abducted, seemed to have some memory lost and Uchi Hiroki, who had started to work with his father, had taken advantage of it. He had made Kazuya believe he was one of them. For a half a year, the back then 16 year old Kazuya had been trained to be an assassin worthy of being Uchi's right hand, his body guard. Believing all the lies that were told him, Kazuya followed all their commands with his trademark stubbornness and determination, thus, becoming one of the bests. That was until he met Koki again a year and half after. It seemed that seeing his old friend had triggered something for him to slowly regain in a more clear way his memories. He had tried to dispose of Koki due to the fact that he had thought the young police officer was trying to confuse him and play with him, but couldn't. From then, the two started to meet each other secretly with Koki trying to help him with his memories. Once he finally had all his memories back, Kazuya was filled with range and anger and wanted vengeance. Carefully and secretly, he had planned a way to destroy the Uchis with the police. He still acted normal around Hiroki and his men, trying his best not to cringe when his master would ask him to despatch of some enemies. However, during those times, he would also sneak out to meet up with Koki and t give him all the information he could give. When the big day came, it was during the big party which Hiroki and his father themselves had organized to meet up all their big clients and partners. It was held inside their ship and it was the opportunity Kazuya and the police were waiting for. With Kazuya always with Hiroki, thus giving the police of their location and with the latter disguised as waiters, cook and entertainer, who Kazuya had told the Uchi he had hired directly, they executed their tasks as planned. Most of the clients were caught and most of the Uchi's men were either killed or they themselves took their own lives. Unfortunately, Hiroki and his father were able to escape, not before shooting Kazuya after discovering of his betrayal. After the whole ordeal, it seemed that the Uchi family, with the few men remaining, went to Hong Kong where some of their biggest ally resided. Kazuya, on the other hand, had been interrogated. However, a few weeks after, he had started to show signs of mental problems, maybe caused his own experience. He had to be put under some psychiatrists to help him. It seemed that he'd been having sense of huge guilt and the fact that the thought of himself killing people for the past year was so unbearable and mortifying it was taking a tool on his own sanity. It had taken time for the doctors to convince him that it wasn't his fault and they had also no choice, but try to ease his pain and self-hatred by tampering some parts of his memories. Though they had wished to erase the Uchi from his memory, it was impossible, coz doing so, it might damage him. After some months, Kazuya was released and though with difficulties, the already almost 19 year old young man tried hard to pick up his life where he left it. With the help of one of the doctors, he was able to attend school and being who he was, he started to look for a job, and the rest was history.
"Jin...did you know about him" Ryo finally asked and the way Jin looked at him told everything. Jin stood up, his wound was okay. His damn men had sedated him, that was why he fell asleep and it was already five in the morning, six hours had passed since Kazuya went looking for Uchi.
"Where are you going?" Ryo asked, but even without Jin answering his question, he knew his friend would go looking for his little one.
Jin didn't answer his friend, as he readied himself, he called Kyousuke and his two other trusted men. Sighing in relief knowing that they were okay, he instructed them that they were going to find Kazuya at all cost.
"Jin, Koki and his men are also looking for him. I and Tat-chan will stay here to check if everything's in place." Ryo called out when he saw Jin at the door. Jin turned to look at him with a smile.
"Thank you. And yes, Kazuya might have been Hiroki's little Flower, but he is MY Kazuya now and he agreed to it. That's why I'm not letting anyone take him away, especially not under my nose."
Ryo smiled and before Jin could completely step out of the door, he did what Kazuya asked him to do.
"Kazuya asked me to tell you that he loves you." He shouted and smiled when he saw Jin rushing away with a blush on his face.
~
Jin was on their car with his men. He hoped Kazuya was okay. He had known of the younger one's past after investigating about him. He was actually planning to make Kazuya remember who he had been and then help him accept it and learn to forgive himself. Jin cursed as they arrived where Koki had told him Kazuya was. He had asked Koki to leave the matter to him and after the latter had reluctantly agreed, he made sure that Hiroki was alone, too.
~
Kazuya ran after Hiroki, almost flying over the stairs. They'd been playing hide and seek for hours now and Kazuya just wanted to end it. As he stepped on the following floor, he shot and Hiroki turned around to face him.
Kazuya was finally face to face with Hiroki. They were on the third floor of the abandoned, old building owned by Uchi years ago. Hiroki smirked also pointing his gun at him. They'd been on each other for hours now and Kazuya had one last bullet in his gun and so did Hiroki. Kazuya wiped the blood that was dripping from his cheek that was grazed by Hiroki's bullet a while back.
"You wanted me back? Then here I am...and I would be the last one you'll see before you die." Kazuya said with a steady voice, though deep inside, he was quivering. He didn't want to kill anymore, but there was no turning back. He promised that this would be the last: the ending of a cycle of his life, a cycle that should have been closed before he started his new life.
Hiroki laughed. Oh he knew what happened to his little Flower after they parted years back. Insanity. A fate they both shared.
"Once you kill me little Flower, you'll also die." He said mockingly and to prove his statement, he raised both his hands up, challenging Kazuya to fire his gun. Hiroki knew he had no way out: the police were outside and they all had the permission to arrest or kill him if needed. He'd been on the wanted dead or alive list for years now, after all.
"So Kazuya, would you grant the last wish of your master?" he taunted seeing the younger one unmoving, looking at him with a familiar light. He smirked. Yes, he still had a hold on his favourite toy after so many years.
"Would you grant my last wish?" he said again, smirking madly.
~
Kazuya shook his head. He knew Hiroki was trying to take a hold of him. Those words were always whispered to him every night during those years he'd been with him.
"Shut up! Shut up!" he shouted, tears already falling. A tiny part of him who had been little Flower didn't want to harm his master and wanted nothing but to grant whatever wishes Hiroki made. He shook his head again.
Hiroki laughed seeing the inner battle that Kazuya was having. He was happy to know that indeed, his little Flower was still there.
"Little Flower, die with me!" He shouted as he pointed the gun and fired, an almost happy, yet insane smile adorning his face.
A bang.
A groan.
Then a thud sound of a body falling on the ground was heard.
~
Kazuya was shocked as he felt someone hugging him. When realization hit him, he cried.
Then people came rushing around them, their voices mingling with his softening sobs. After a while, he was finally brought to reality as a soft, gentle voice of the one cradling him called his name.
"Kazuya... it's over. It's over. You are truly free now."
When he looked up, he was met by gentle eyes with Jin smiling fondly at him. He nodded before accepting the kiss of relief, filled with love that was offered to him.
After the tender his, without breaking from Jin's embrace, he glanced to where Hiroki was. Jin shot him before he was able to shot Kazuya, who at the last moment didn't want to kill his previous master.
Giving Jin a nod, Kazuya went to Hiroki who was already surrounded by Koki and his men. He ushered the police to give them space. He sat down and cradled Hiroki who was already breathing hard, blood seeping down from his chest. Kazuya knew he was dying.
"Hiroki..." he whispered and the man looked up at him. Hiroki raised his bloodied hand to caress Kazuya's face and let out a gentle smile.
"I..." he coughed blood which Kazuya tried to wipe.
"Little Flower, my little Flower.." Hiroki started trying to speak clearly with obvious difficulty.
"I am sorry." He said catching Kazuya by surprise. Kazuya shook his head and smiled and tears blurring his eyes as he gave the dying man a loving kiss on the forehead. Hiroki turned his head having their faces an inch apart, their eyes meeting.
"I loved you" With those last words, Hiroki exhaled his last breathe.
~
Jin watched silently as Kazuya held Hiroki into his arms. He pitied the young man.
"You loved Kazuya, but realized it when it was too late. You've already destroyed him." he whispered more to himself.
"I will not make the same mistake." With that said, he went to take Kazuya away leaving the dead body to Koki and his men.
"Let's go home Kazuya. Your friends are waiting for you."
~
Kazuya almost weep with sheer happiness when he saw Yamapi and Nakamaru, though bed-ridden at the moment, waving at him.
He strode faster to them and hugged them one by one. Maru was lying on the bed. It seemed that it would take him more time to recover. After all, he almost lost his stomach. While Yamapi was sitting on the wheelchair next to Maru's bed.
"Pi? Your leg?"
Yamapi smiled. "Don't worry, I'll still be able to walk on the runway with you. They told me to rest so that I can recover faster."
Kazuya nodded with a bright smile. On their way back, Koki told him everything: about Yamashita and Nakamaru, about them looking after him and finally truly caring for him not only as agents, but especially as his friends.
"Kazuya, come, you have to rest, too. And we have to take good care of your wounds."
Jin was right behind him. Kazuya nodded before following the older man.
~
Jin gently took off his clothes, then examine his wounds. There were still some of the bruises caused by Hiroki and some scratches here and there. Jin sighed as he also got rid of his own garments before ushering the both of them to the shower. He took the shampoo and gently washed the younger one's hair. After making sure there were no traces of shampoo in every traces of hair, he proceeded to clean that lithe body thoroughly. Kazuya moaned when Jin started to soap in between his thigh, brushing his groin.
"Jin..." he panted. He turned around to face the taller man, and without warning, he pulled Jin into a hot, passionate kiss to which the older man answered back with the same passion. Jin pulled Kazuya by the hips and grinded their groins against each other. Soon after, moans and groans filled the shower.
"Jin...take me..." there was such desperation in Kazuya's voice that made Jin's heart ache. He knew such request was more than it seemed. He could imagine what his younger lover went through in those two weeks under Hiroki's hands.
"Leave it to me Kazu-chan. I'll clean you in and out. I'll clean every places he had touched you. I'll make you forget of those dirty hands and make you remember of mine and only mine." With that said, Jin carried Kazuya to the bed, their damp bodies wetting the sheets, but they didn't care.
They kissed fervently, tongue meeting tongue, exploring every part of each other's mouth, tasting each other's breathe.
Jin pulled away from the tempting mouth just to latch his on the milky long neck, his hands roaming all over the already naked, hot, panting body underneath him. He smiled when he found the perking pink nipples and suck on them earning himself a loud moan from Kazuya. After spending his attention on the two buds, he began to suck the skin beneath. He licked and kissed the white skin from the chest to the navel, then dipped his tongue in the well shaped belly button. Kazuya arched his back in pleasure, moaning loudly when Jin did that.
Jin grinned seeing his lover's reaction as he finally spread Kazuya's legs and hummed pleased when he saw the proof of the boy's arousal, for him, because of him.
Without warning he took that hard cock in his mouth in one motion making Kazuya scream in pleasure, his hands clutching Jin's hair.
Jin inserted one finger in that tight hole while taking Kazuya's weeping cock in his mouth, distracting the latter from feeling the now three fingers that were inserted inside him.
Jin released the hard member with a loud pop and concentrated on his fingers which were doing wonders to Kazuya since he had found that bundle of nerves that would send Kazuya screaming like what he was doing now.
"Jin...Ji...sto..p..I can't..." Kazuya groaned, just to whine when those fingers were taken out.
Jin gave him a sweet passionate kiss.
"Patience baby." He said and laughed when Kazuya glared at him.
He settled himself between those legs which Kazuya wrapped around Jin's hips as if to assure that the older man wouldn't escape.
"Ready?" Jin asked and when Kazuya nodded, he inched himself slowly inside that tight hole. He groaned in pleasure with Kazuya squirming under him, panting and sweating with flushed face.
Giving Kazuya another kiss, Jin started to move, at first slowly, but his thrusts became hard and fast and the last thing he could remember was Kazuya's whimpering voice, laced with lust and pleasure, telling him those words he had longed to hear and the same words that he himself had wanted to tell the younger one.
"I love you."
~
Kazuya cursed when he couldn't even stand up or sit properly without wincing. After he let out those petty three little words, Jin kind of become a twit, well, more than he usually was: an insatiable twit. He saw Jin who just came out of the bathroom laughing and he gave him a murderous glare.
"I'll swear I'll be the one topping next time!" Kazuya almost shouted like a sulking brat.
"Oh, really? Then try topping in twenty years, maybe?" Jin said teasingly and though it was said as a joke, it also implied one thing for sure, and Kazuya understood it. Jin wanted Kazuya by his side.
Kazuya tsked as Jin helped him to stand up.
"I don't want to be involved in anything anymore Jin. I don't want to hold a gun ever again." Kazuya muttered as Jin hugged him.
"You can do whatever you want Kazuya. Go to school and be a lawyer, continue modelling and maybe help me pick up some clothes for me and my men...just...just stay with me."
Kazuya nodded and hugged Jin tighter. Jin, on the other hand, knew Kazuya still was shocked and needed help. That was why, after talking with Koki, he decided to hire the same doctors that had taken care of Kazuya. He wanted Kazuya to accept his past, to forgive himself and also to understand that he had no fault or choice. He knew Kazuya would be fine. He was a fighter after all: a stubborn one, too.
~
Two months later Kazuya was modelling for TegoMass with Yamapi, who in the end, wanted to continue modelling as a side job as long as it didn't interfere with his real work. Nakamaru had to resign as his manager since a new mission was assigned to him. Ueda was under Koki's punishment, who, after learning of his relationship with Nishikido Ryo decided to not let the higher ups know. Instead, Koki asked Ueda to do all the paper works for him.
Koki, on the other hand, had a more calm and friendly conversations with Jin also because of Kazuya. After the events involving Hiroki, Koki had omitted many things in his report. One of them was of Akanishi's involvement. He and Jin would meet up once in a while to talk about Kazuya's mental health which had been improving a lot.
Matsumoto Jun was also not fairing bad as he was now in Italy together with Arashi, the dean in his hands and a million dollar to collect.
~
Five years later.
Kazuya had finally graduated and was a certified lawyer. He worked with Jin as his lawyer, mostly concerning the Akanishi's least shady and more legal businesses. Jin would only laugh whenever he refused to handle the older man's underground's market. He would also help the police to put behind the bars all the criminals.
Kazuya stretched his hands before opening the door with Yamapi in tow.
A shocked scream was heard, followed by more colourful words with the name of Jin in between.
~
Jin picked his phone and before could answer, he was threatened to have his ass send to hell by no other than his furious lover.
"Kazu-chan?"
"Don't Kazu-chan me, you fucking asshole! Why did you take all my things from my apartment?"
Jin chuckled as understanding hit him. Kazuya might have went home and found his place completely empty.
~
"Little one, I already give you time for yourself. I mean, it's kind of tiring having to go there and having you kidnapped all the time every time I want to see you. Come on... Five years, aren't they enough for you to be convinced that I won't do anything to change you?" there was a tinge of hurt in Jin's voice that struck a chord in Kazuya's heart. He sighed in resignation. Jin had been good to him and had been true to his promise of letting him live the life that he wanted. He knew he loved Jin and he knew how much the older man treasured him though he didn't say it often, but Jin always made sure to prove it to him with actions rather than words.
"Okay...but... I also want a room of my own." Kazuya still wanted to have a space of his own.
"I'll arrange that right away. So, will you come home tonight?" Jin's voice was like an eager kid waiting for his dreamt toy. And it made Kazuya smile.
"Yes, I'll come home." He whispered and meant it in more than a way than one.
THE END
