Chapter 2 - A bit of shopping couldn’t hurt anyone.
When they both returned home (not escaping some sweet talking with landlord, who was not so discreetly flirting with “Kazu-chan”), Kame had his patience thinned out. Only the thoughts of sweet revenge warmed his soul.
“Oh… Ko-chan. I think it’s already that time of month.” - He said pointedly, pretending to have a slight blush (such an actress). “Well, you know… To go shopping for girls stuff…” - Kame secretly hid his victorious grin behind really cute and timid pout.
Koki cringed immediately. “Oh…” His distaste was written all over his face. “Are you sure?”
The extra shy nod was an answer to him.
Koki groaned and shuffled through the freshly acquired wallet. There was a hell lot of money (who drags so much cash nowdays, he thought), so it would not hurt to get some… tampax.
Yes. As a girl in disguise, Kame should have buy bras and panties… and tampax. And that was the cause of Koki’s monthly groans, because Kazuya plainly refused to have something to do with buying that stuff.
“YOU make me look like a girl, so that is YOUR responsibility” - said Kame once and that was the end of discussion.
But if only they could knew what would happen next, Kame with no doubt would have refused to let go of his brother that day…

Koichi was not the head of Akanishis’ Enterprise for nothing. So then he found out about chip, it was just a matter of several phone talks and a bit of time to know the thief’s name.
Koki couldn’t even imagine that his little pocket game was seen by one certain man, who was waiting for the “green” light on this particular crossroad in his silver Bently. That man knew another man who knew good loads of info about Koki (to the point of where he buys his underwear and the stuff for his ‘sister’…though they didn’t care to find out about Kame’s gender) because of his games with pockets. And that man knew another man, who was indebted to Akanishis’ Empyre and so on and so forth.
So then Akanishi’s men went out, they already knew exactly whom to take and there to find him.

The gangster-looking boy with curled short black hair flirted with new cashier for what seemed like hours, because the waiting line was growing to no end, and angry curses on high-pitched voices were heard more often and often. But Koki didn’t care at all. She was exactly his type, sixteen, soon to be seventeen. Well, one year older than him, but who cares? He already got the beauty’s cell number and was on his way to plan a perfect date right there and then. But red-faced manager, coming their way confused all his plans. So, with quick and cheeky “I hope to see you soon, babe” he left mini-market and went home.
He didn’t get to go far though. Several blocks later brunet was surrounded by a bunch of dangerously looking thugs, who blocked his way and not so gently ushered him into the narrow dusty alley nearby.
“Not so fast, Joker!” - smirked one of them. That’s then Koki realized that something was off. They didn’t want just get his money or get some fun with beating him into a pulp. “Looks like you’ve played a game on the wrong person this time” - continued thug, and Koki felt his heart going southward.
[I’m really-really bad with slang and dirty English so yes, my thugs are talking delicately^^, but you know that it’s not like that].
“I’m always playing safe” - answered Koki carefully. He knew that plainly ask ‘Whatcha ya wanna fro me’ was out of the question, it would give them a reason to proceed with beating right then. Yeah, out of the options.
“Well, then you should remember the biggie from this morning. So now we have two options. First. You, being goooody boy just hand over his wallet. And second… wait a minute… you wouldn’t like the second one” - the smirk just grew wider and Koki paled a bit.
“Sorry, forgot my wallet in another pants” - told the boy before he even could register WHAT he was saying, cause it meant they would go to Ka-kun’s place. “But you can say there I should leave it and I’ll bring it over first thing in the morning. ‘Cause you see, it’s getting dark already. Little boys like you shouldn’t be out on the streets now”. Boy posed himself straight, trying to get some time and think his way out of this shit.
“Looks like we have a funny joker here, Joker” - chuckled gang leader. They were in good mood so far, but it wouldn’t last long, because they had strict orders. Sadly, one of the orders was ‘not to harm the boy at all and bring him in one undisturbed piece’. That didn’t include his roommate though… “But I seriously offer you to cut the crap, before we go to your hovel and lure out little turtle, which lives in there”. He made one step towards boy and was satisfied with the latter’s obvious trembling. “So there is it?”
Without any words Koki handed over the wallet, already knowing that it wouldn’t satisfy the guy. Because it contained neither photo nor chip inside anymore. Koki hoped that playing dumb will be his trump card.
“Good boy” - laughed thug’s leader and made a sign for his guys to take care of the rest. That included tying now really frightened boy by hands and legs.
