Chapter 8

"Kasumi-chan!" Koki calls out Kasumi, who was waiting for him in front of the big mall. Kasumi turns her head, letting big smile appear on her face when she sees Koki.
“Koki!” She takes fast steps towards him. They hug like they haven’t met for ages… and literally they haven’t. Koki pushes her gently away from his body from her shoulders, to look her in eyes and kisses her softly on lips, moving on her cheek and stopping right next to her ear.
“Next time don’t be away too long, I hate missing you...” He husks. Kasumi nods slowly feeling excited of Koki’s breath against her ear and at the same time she's embarrassed by the feeling.

Koki entwines his fingers with Kasumi’s and drags her in to the mall. He knows where they are going first. So without telling anything he walks along the way where many many stores are allocated and stops in front of one; a clothing store, the biggest and the most beautiful one above all, not to mention a very expensive one too.
Kasumi gulps quietly before they go in. There is one thing that she is absolutely sure of, that is she can never ever afford a thing in this store.

They walk among the stunning clothes hand in hand. Kasumi can see how Koki is so eager so she lets him to take the lead. When he is happy, she is happy too after all.
“Ah! Kasumi, what do you think of that dress? I think it would look good on you!” Koki points the short chiffon baby doll dress. It is off-white color with floral dusted print. It was one of the cutest dresses Kasumi has ever seen.

Koki calls of one the clients and asks her to bring the dress for Kasumi.
“I want to see it on you.” Koki demands and goes to sit down on the couch right in front of the fitting room. Kasumi blushed in a second, the idea of getting dressed in that small room and coming out to show off was something new to her. No matter how old-fashioned it sounds, it is embarrassing.
“S-Sure…” Kasumi muttered nervously , she doesn’t want to upset Koki. She gets the dress and checks the price-kind of reflex reaction that she gained over years. When you have limited amount of money, the price comes before the desire all the time. She sighs; it isn’t surprising to see lots of extra zeros on the tag that is hanging from the dress.

“Oh come on, we don’t have much time darling! Go and change!” Koki mutters teasingly. Kasumi takes fast steps into the fitting room. She takes off all her clothes and puts the chiffon dress. It brings out lots of skin and exposes her legs. It is an unusual sight for her. It has been ages since she wore something like this.

After she is done she takes a deep breath and goes out to show Koki the dress. Koki, who was playing with the pompom of the couch, suddenly freezes when he sees Kasumi appearing at his sight. She looks like an angel, the prettiest one he has ever seen in his life.
“W-What do you…” Kasumi decides to talk when Koki doesn’t say anything for a long moment, but is cut by his voice.
“You are so… beautiful…” Koki breathes in, like he says the world’s hardest words ever. Blood rushes to Kasumi’s cheek so fast that she doesn’t have time to hide her face to cover her red cheeks.
Another long moment of silence… Only the two pairs of eyes are talking to each other now. Koki is falling for her once again… deeply and irreversibly.
He closes his eyes and tries to collect himself. Then he turns to Kasumi with loving eyes, her cheeks are still tinted in red blush.
“I want you to own this dress! And I want you to wear it someday for me!”

“What?!” Kasumi denies in her head. “How can you expect me to buy this? You want me plunged into dept for rest of my life?!” Her head speaks again. But what is the point of lying? He already knows that she is not one of those rich people that can throw money for a piece of cloth.
“Maybe some other time Koki. I don’t think… I can afford it.” She says slowly touching to chiffon dress. Yes she likes it very much too but… price before desire. That’s how things worked for her all the time.
“What?! What are you talking about?!” Koki shook his head. “Wait you thought…?” He chuckles. “You are so cute. But you don’t have to worry about that baby. You thought I would make you buy that? Nope not when I’m here! It will be my very present for you darling” Koki says as he walks towards Kasumi and holds her chin, fixing his eyes in hers.
“No Koki! That is so expens…”
“Shhhh…”
“But!”
“I said hush… don’t!” He stops her with his finger with a smile on his face. He bends towards her as he moves away his finger and gives her the sweetest peck on her lips, over and over again, making her giggle. Sales people watch the world’s most adorable couple kissing in front of the fitting room, with a dreamer expression.

Koki pays for the dress and they leave the store. Kasumi feels bad for Koki buying the dress though he doesn’t seem to mind it at all! He is, however, so glad to spend money for Kasumi. It makes her feel so warm deep in her heart. She clings on his arm and they start walking to some other direction in the mall.

Koki stops in front of another beautiful store. “Yamamoto Koji” says the label in elegant font. The show window represents the most astonishing jewelries - there aren’t many but the ones are worth to thousands of jewelry. The shape, color, shine of each stone on necklaces is blinding beauty. “…this is definitely not a place for me!” Kasumi murmurs sarcastically under her breath. She is almost envious of those people who can buy these stones-which surprises Kasumi herself, because she is never jealous of other people’s status. But this is undeniable. She checks Koki’s expression and it scares her. It is so bright… and excited. What is he thinking now?!

“Oh no… Koki let’s go, this is not a place to go!” She tries to tug him away.
“Come on I have surprise for you!” Koki says like he has been waiting for this moment.
“W-What surprise?!” Kasumi starred.
“Hush! It is surprise!” Koki chuckles and he holds on Kasumi’s arm and drags her inside. Kasumi can’t fight back Koki’s strength so she gives in. As they walk in he decides to inform her a bit.
“I know this man. This… these…” He shows the show window and the jewelry behind it next to them now. “… all are made by him! He is the best diamond artist in entire Japan! He is the only person that does all the steps of diamond art on his own! He is very famous for making bespoke jewelry! He makes them on order, upon the customer’s desire… and if customer wishes he adds his own taste, which is always dazzling”
“Wow” is all Kasumi could say. “So whatever he makes is unique?” She asks him in feeble and astonished voice.
“Exactly!” Koki grins.

The inside is almost empty. Expensive art portraits dressing the white walls creating a glamorous view. A glass shelf near the counter has couple more jewelry but not many again. And that is it. Though there is a warm atmosphere inside.
“Tanaka-san! Welcome!” an old voice says cheerfully behind the glass counter. He is little taller than Koki, maybe Jin’s height. He has the cutest smile on his face.
“Thank you Yamamoto-san, how are you?” Koki puts Kasumi’s hand in the crouch of his arm and walks towards Yamamoto.
“I am very well, thank you. I can myself tell that you are well too Tanaka-san, am I wrong?” The old man teases Koki. He blushes a bit. “This must be the beautiful lady you have mentioned about!” Kasumi could feel Koki nodding eagerly next to her. Yamamoto’s talk sounds like he is from another time… very polite and old-fashioned. Kasumi bows, blushing slightly.
“Nice to meet you Yamamoto-san.”
“The pleasure belongs to me dear Kasumi-san” He smiles gently. He is one of those old men that you wish you had as your grandfather, Kasumi thinks.
“I was waiting for you!” Yamamoto winks. “It is done!” He reaches over the glass check board right under the glass counter and brings a slightly big box out and puts it on the counter. He pushes the box slowly towards Koki.

Koki puts Kasumi’s hand down and goes to check the box. He hides it so Kasumi can’t see anything. He gasps. Whatever he is seeing, is sure making Kasumi so curious.
“It is perfect Yamamoto-san… It is… I can’t describe. Thank you!” Koki bows deeply in front of him.
“I’m glad you liked it Tanaka-san. It was my pleasure to work for love. But will you not show it to the lovely lady and let her to share your delight?” Yamamoto points Kasumi in most elegant hand move.
“Yes... Yes I will!” Koki smiles so wide and bright. He turns to Kasumi “Come over here baby.” Koki signs her to come by the counter to check what is inside the box. Kasumi takes couple steps hesitantly towards the counter. She slowly opens the box lying on it. She closes her mouth with her both hands.
“Ahh…” She breathes in swiftly.

It is a small flower pendant with glamorous blue petals surrounded by small white diamonds on a thin silvery-white chain. Absolutely breath-taking.

“Moon stone…” The old man points the small flower. “It is very precious stone. Legends as old as time have many meanings for it… But my favorite must be the one for passionate love. It brings the love that no one has ever seen or experienced… or can ever imagine. A Love so powerful that flies you to the moon… Oops…Excuse myself. I got carried away. I have added the last bit of myself due to my long loving for literature” The old man seems to have great joy of explaining the meaning of the beautiful stone.

“Wonderful…” Kasumi at last is able to produce some coherent words besides murmurs while staring at the shimmering blue moon stones. Koki looks at her and then pushes the necklace box towards her. Kasumi looks at him starred.
“It is for you!” Koki smiles gently.
“F-for m-me??!” Kasumi can faint any time. Her eyes trip between the necklace and Koki. “I-I can’t accept this Koki. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life time and I am so so happy for you being such a perfect guy but I can’t…” Her voice breaks through the end.
“But why?! I want you to have this… with all my heart! It is the least I can give you!” Koki pleads.
“Koki but… this is so expensive I just can’t!” Kasumi drops her head down.
“Please! If it is money please don’t think about it! What do I do money if I don’t spend? Please let me have the joy to see this on your neck. Please.” Koki pleads more. He takes her face in his palms and looks in her eyes. They are shouting and pleading too. Kasumi sighs this doesn’t make her feel comfortable at all but she can’t stand to see Koki like this.
“O-okay. But! No more presents!”
“I promise! I promise love!” Koki presses his lips hard on hers and hugs her tight. Suddenly Kasumi starts sobbing against his shoulder. “Do I deserve you?” She thinks “A man like you…” She keeps sobbing; Koki just stays there hugging her tight.

Yamamoto, of course doesn’t mind. A man of love he is… how can he refuse a love scene like this? It must be one of his favorites. That’s what he is living for. For love… For moments like this.

After the tremendous times Koki and Kasumi leaves the mall and decide to end their date in Koki’s club which is empty at this time of day. So they take taxi unaware of a pair of eyes watching over them.

“Boss will be surprised to hear his girl wandering with Kamenashi’s lovely shatei…” A man says who is standing beside a pole before some man hold him on shoulder.
“What’s wrong with the shatei hanging with that girl??... and what the hell were you about to do with that phone?!” The man barks, pulling the stalker away.
“I don’t have to explain anything to you bastard! You are Kamenashi’s dog aren’t you?” the stalker asks in a humiliating tone, shaking off the man’s hand the same time.
“It is better than being Akanishi’s sucker dog.” A second man walks over the other two, followed by few more.
“Taguchi!” The first man bows at the leader. Junno signs him to straighten his position. He wants to learn what’s going on but he is interrupted.
“At least he is man not a fucker.” The stalker man replies, this time with some sarcastic tone.
“Goddamn motherfucker! Shut up!” Taguchi hits him in the face. He falls on the floor. Others laugh as Taguchi crouches down, and holds his collar. “Now will you nicely tell us what are you doing here or you want to beg for your shit life?” The stalker man stands up immediately and hits into Taguchi’s face.

“Ah Koki… I don’t know how to thank you. All I can do is to put them in words. Thank you so much!! Thank you for everything today!” Kasumi hugs to Koki once again while they are sitting in the empty pub.
“As long as I can make you happy I can even give up my life darling” Koki says hoarsely in her ear.
“No! Don’t say that… What do I do without you?!” Kasumi says as if she takes it seriously making Koki chuckle.
“I am here I am not going anywhere soon baby!” He separates their body and in no time Koki kisses her. This time the kiss is more intense than the last time. She can feel his tongue brushing her lower lip demanding to go inside. She separates her lips to let him in. Kasumi doesn’t know how to react as this is her first French kiss so she lets Koki to take over her tongue. As his tongue twirls, brushes and sucks her tongue she feels a pair of hands on her bare torso under her blouse, determined to discover every inch of skin it can reach. After a while they break the kiss to catch their breath.
“I love you Kasumi… With all my heart.” He caresses her cheek.
“I love you too Koki… More than I can say” She blushes, shocked how these words came out. She never truly says her feeling unless it is so strong to keep inside. Is it real love then? Or is it lie to make Koki happy? She cannot help to ask herself.

“Boss! Welcome” the man at the back gate of the club greets the waka of the clan; Kamenashi Kazuya.
“Thanks Hiro. Is Koki back?” Kamenashi smokes from his cigarette.
“Oh yes boss, he is with some lady inside at the moment”
“Lady? It must be Kasumi” He walks towards the door that leads into big hall of the club but stops before the door. The conversation sounds interesting enough for him to eavesdrop.

“Koki Can I ask you something… a favor?” Kasumi at last finds the right moment to ask him about the topic that bugged her all along.
“Of course! You don’t have to ask for permission baby!” Koki entwines his fingers with hers. Kasumi smiles softly at him as she caresses his cheek. “Come on… I am waiting”
“So… A friend of mine that lives… in the same street with me and my friend, was… transferred to somewhere… due to her work...” Kasumi starts to sweat; she has no idea what lie to say. She is such a terrible liar. “…And I… want to learn where she was transferred. Can you help me find the place?” She takes a deep breath.
“Hmm… do you know the name of the place she went to work? If you do then there shouldn’t be any problem at finding it!” Koki softly strokes her hand.
“Ah yes, the name of the place is, Queen” Kasumi tries to catch a glimpse of hint from Koki’s face. He seems like he knows it, Kasumi thinks. Though Koki doesn’t but strange enough the name sounds so familiar.
“I’ll try my best to find it Kasumi and will let you know!”
“Thank you so much Koki, I’m being a burden to you lately, I’m so sorry!” Kasumi bows.
“Ah will you stop it?! You are not a burden!” Koki holds her from shoulders and lifts her. She sees that bright smile again, that always makes her happy, no matter what.
Kasumi checks her watch and realizes that she has to go soon. She doesn’t want the last circumstance repeat. “Koki, I have to go now… ”
“True… I shall send you home safely!” Koki stands up carrying her shopping bags.
“Koki… thank you so much for everything once again” Kasumi has tears in her eyes. Koki shakes his head disapproving her attempt. He pulls her in his embrace and they stay like that for a while. Soon after, Koki calls for taxi.

When Koki is back to club he sees Kame sitting at the bar, smoking cigarette.
“Kame! When did you come?”
“A while ago…” He seems he is lost in his thoughts. “Did you have fun with Kasumi?”
Koki blushes a little and says yes. “I think… I am in love with her.” He murmurs but Kame ignores him.
“Koki do you really don’t know where the Queen is?” Kame breaks the long silence searching for certain answer.
“Were you eavesdropping?!” Koki sounds annoyed.
“Yes and no… I’m trying to help…” He says calmly.
“It does sound familiar…” Koki looks at his hands.
“Think… harder. How come you don’t remember the great fight last year…” He smokes. It just takes couple of seconds for Koki to realize what Kame is talking about.
“Don’t tell me…” Kame nods. “Brothel… Akanishi’s brothel?!” Koki is flabbergasted
“Bingo! I knew you had brains.” Kame laughs in sarcasm.
“That’s dangerous I should keep her away from that friend”
“There is more than that Koki. I think your girlfriend, somehow, is already involved in the danger zone!” Koki keeps the blank expression. He doesn’t understand. Does he mean she is working for that brothel?!
Kame takes deep breath in counting till 10 to calm down and then says “You misunderstand everything…” He says like he read Koki’s mind. “What I try to tell is that your dear darling might be under Jin’s wings at some point…” Kame smirks nervously.
“Impossible! I’m sure it is nothing like that! She is not involved with Akanishi!” Koki raises his voice frustrated to the idea.
“I am not saying she is Koki! Fucking sake are you listening to me? I have theories. THEORIES! Not realities. Fuck you are such a hard man.” Kame damps his cigarette in ash tray angrily creating small smoke of ashes around the tray.
“What are your theories?” Kame smirks he knew Koki would want to hear them.

“Don’t stop me and listen all! It all fits very well. So… After she was fired suddenly she disappears and never gets in contact with you until couple weeks ago. She doesn’t live in her old house anymore. You never got chance to learn where is her new home or what she is actually doing. You can never reach her on cell phone unless she calls you. She somehow leaves early and is nervous about the time like someone has told her to go home before certain time! And today she comes and asks you about the bloody Queen…”

“It doesn’t make sense…” Koki almost whispers.

“Of course it doesn’t… But now let me get to my point in my theory. After she was fired she was offered job in Akanishi’s house. I saw Akanishi’s car outside of his café before she was fired... Very likely. If we come to point where she lives somewhere new; As in our house, the servants are not allowed to live anywhere else but in the borders of the house. She is staying with Jin not in her old house. So she was warned not to tell anyone about her job of place… or she is keeping it secret. I’m still suspicious about that part. Needs some brain working… and most important one you can never reach her cell phone except the time you meet her or she calls. Tell me is she keeping her phone shut all the time?”

“But maybe it’s shut when I call her.”

“Come on Koki! You call her hundred times a day morning, noon, afternoon, night, late at night! And not for one day but like… 7 days a week! Don’t kid with me.” Words came back to back angrily from Kame’s mouth. How stupid and naïve Koki can be?!

“Then what?!”

“Because of Akanishi’s fucking satellite system, it blocks out every communicating machine within his territories. Remember me telling that Akanishi secretly had American engineers built a special satellite for him to block everyone’s cell phones but the ones he knows, which he registers them through the system?” Koki’s eyes open wide but then narrows.
“If she is working with Jin why wouldn’t he register her phone with the system then?”
“I was thinking about that earlier. I never came up with something… Though I have theories for that too.” Kame gives an evil grin. It even scares Koki.
“You and your fucking theories.” Koki stresses.
“He likes…”

Suddenly, the door opens and Koki’s men enter in, Junno on lead, holding someone on arms drifting him towards Koki and Kame. He is beaten up to death and bleeding.
“What a timing…” Kame damps the cigarette and turns to Koki’s man.
“What the fuck?!! What happened?!” Koki looks at their man then to the other beaten man “Who the hell is he?!”

“He is Akanishi’s underling, who was watching over you whole day. Relax we are going to learn the whole story now ” Kame stands up and walks towards Taguchi.
“You said, he mentioned about Akanishi learning something? Tell me everything…” Kame orders and crouches down to see the guy’s face.
“We were already suspicious about him because there seemed to be someone that followed boss and Kasumi-san today. We got him before you took taxi. He was murmuring something like how his boss won’t be happy to hear his girl hanging with shatei. We got his phone, and the last call was made with… Akanishi Jin. Then he told us that Akanishi sent him to watch over Kasumi-san…”
“To see if she actually goes to find brothel herself…” Kame completes the sentence and suddenly flares up. “It all fits!”

“I-I don’t understand… how come…” Koki ignores Kame completely and how he is so cheerful that his theories are becoming reality in his head.
“Sorry boss. Excuse us for leaving missing parts. Kasumi-san is working as one of the ladies in Akanishi’s house. This guy doesn’t know everything but he says he was told by Akanishi to follow the girl and prevent her to go anywhere close to Queen, if she attempts to.” Taguchi says lastly.
“Hahhhahah!!” Kame gives the scariest evil laugh ever making everyone step back from him. “But wait… we have problem now. Big one!” Kame walks fastly towards Jin’s man.
“Did you talk with Akanishi?? Did you report him anything?” The man does not answer.
“ANSWER ME!” Kame pulls his hair so tight that the man feels like they are coming out of his scalp. It hurts so bad.
“No… I didn’t!” The man’s whispers in horror.
“But he will call soon when you don’t… Koki, do you want to save Kasumi?”
“Save Kasumi?”
“Ah come on… Do you think she will be fine after hearing his dear love wandered around with you?”
“Love? Akanishi likes Kasumi??” Koki is losing himself. He snaps his hand on his forehead trying to fit the pieces to right place in the puzzle.

“Koki stop being a moron! Remember my theories they fit so well to the real life! Why in the world would Jin hold a man to follow one of his servants and stop them from going to brothel?! All servants in a house know that they are working for a yakuza! And they know about the brothels because if they disobey that’s where they will go!” Kame grins again. “But this girl doesn’t know about anything! Moreover she witnessed one of the servants being taken away. The last part is theory but there should be way that she learned about Queen. Brothels are never recklessly talked around. Anyway the point is Jin must careful about her not to find out his status! WHY do you think?! Because HE CARES! Caring is loving.” Kame lits another cigarette. He is so proud of himself figuring everything out.
“This girl may help us break the evil’s leg” Kame murmurs to himself, grinning.

After long silence Koki speaks. “We should cover her… and as soon as it is chance I’ll get her out of that house…” Koki squeezes his fist.
“Your brain is working…” Kame of course likes the idea, maybe not the last part. He would love to have Kasumi in that house but it is not the issue now. From now on Kasumi is going to be his favorite key to Akanishi .

“Listen to me you bastard. Now you’ll call to your dear boss, and tell him that she did nothing wrong.”
“What if I not Kamenashi… You’ll kill me?” The man seems like gaining some courage.
Kame laughs nervously and in disbelief. How come the guy at the edge of dying was being brave? Akanishi must be a good teacher, Kame sarcastically thinks to himself. Kame’s unstable behaviors and scary talks start to scare others. Suddenly he pulls the man closer to himself. He takes his cigarette out of his mouth and damps it on Jin’s man’s neck. Within a second the pub is full of the poor man’s painful cry.

“Do you want to learn what I’d do?! I’d kill Akanishi’s beloved and blame it on you… Do you want to imagine what he would do to you? Death?” Kame dips the burning cigarette deeper into man’s neck making him suffer and cry even more.
“From what I know, Akanishi is not that nice” Kame lifts the cigarette from the man’s neck and shags it then blows the cigarette smoke right into the man’s eyes. It burns. “I would think something worse than death if I was you!” Kame smirks when he sees the great fear in his eyes. He knows if such thing happened, let alone himself, his whole family would be dead… mercilessly. The man slowly nods and accepts what he says.
