"What did you want to talk about?" Sakurai asked with a hateful tone.
He was in a little room, sitting in front of an old man who was smoking a cigarette with a relaxed and amused expression. Two glasses of wine were set down on the table between them: The old man's glass was almost empty, Sakurai's one was untouched.
"Cool down, son. I just came to know that you are after a little shitty thief."
"Even if... it has nothing to do with you."
"Are you sure?" The old man said putting out his cigarette with a malicious smile.
"I checked him, he's not one of your men." Sakurai replied, confident in his informations.
"No, he's not but he tried to make a fool out of me and I can't forgive him."
"What?" Sakurai smirked teasing the man in front of him. "A little asshole was able to take you in? You're growing old, geezer."
"You said it. That's why I think you should take my place."
"You know it won't happen." Sho immediately said looking straight into the other man's eyes. It's time for some explanation. The old geezer was Sakurai Senior, Sho's father. He was a famous and dreaded yakuza's head, known for his cruel behavior and his peaceful aspect. Sho never approved his father's "business" and he never wanted to meddle with it. That's why he decided to become a lawyer against his father's will. He ran away from home and that's when he met Ohno's father who helped Sho with the promise to be always loyal to Satoshi. And he was still staying by what he promised, helping Ohno while trying to fight against his father.
"Yes, I know." Sho could hear a sad note in the old man's voice. "I didn't let you come here to talk about it."
"If I'm not wrong, it has to do with Matsuoka."
The old man stiffened, hearing that name. "Yeah, I'll settle everything tonight so you don't have to worry anymore."
"What do you mean?"
"You will know. Just keep your bitch away from him for awhile." Sakurai Senior smiled and looked amused at his son who was red with fury.
"Don't call Masaki like that again!"
"Okay, okay. Cool down. I was joking." The old man laughed while drinking all the wine left. "Anyway do as I said."
--------------------------
Aiba, Matsumoto and Ikuta were sitting in the waiting room while Ohno couldn't stay calm, going in and out the room, hoping to meet a doctor who would know if Nino was safe.
"Ohno-kun, sit down please. You make me nervous." Jun invited him, a note of worry in his voice.
"Where the hell is Sakurai!" Toma cried out closing his phone for the nth time. Actually he tried to call again and again but the lawyer never answered.
Aiba was silent, sitting on a chair next to Jun, his eyes fixed on the floor, his hands trembling. His mind was going crazy, filled with questions without answers. Who could have hurt Nino? And why? He was so much lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice his cell phone ringing.
"Aiba-chan..." Matsumoto woke him up. "Your handy."
Without saying anything, he took his cell phone and replied.
"Konbanwa Masaki. What do you think of my surprise?" Matsuoka's voice asked.
"You..." Aiba whispered while tears started to fall down his cheeks.
"Yes. You punched me once and I punched your friend like... fifty times? No, maybe I'm exaggerating." While talking, Matsuoka was laughing as if the whole situation was a joke for him.
"Why him? It was my fault!"
"It's funnier to hurt your feelings than your body."
Aiba was shocked. How could such a cruel man exist?
"Who is on the phone?" Asked Ikuta curious and worried, seeing Aiba in that condition but the host didn't hear. Instead he asked enraged to Matsuoka: "Where are you?" But he didn't get a reply because Matsuoka hung up.
"Damn!" He screamed and threw his cell phone on the floor, leaving the three other men puzzled.
"What's the matter, Aiba-chan?" Matsumoto asked worried.
"It's my fault..." Aiba whispered tormented before a doctor came into the room.
Fortunately Nino's conditions weren't bad. He just had a broken arm and some scratches but nothing life-threatening.
"You can meet him now but one at a time because he need to rest." The doctor declared smiling at the four relieved men.
Ohno patted his hand on Aiba's shoulder and said: "You go first, Aiba-chan." The latter just nodded, wiping away his tears and trying his best to smile.
When he entered the room, Nino was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Aiba sat down on a chair near the bed making some noise that woke up the injured man.
"Aiba-chan... Ohayo..." He murmured tiredly.
"It's late night, baka." Aiba held back his tears that threatened to fall again and continued: "Gomen, Nino."
"Why?"
"It's my fault. Matsuoka did all this to you, didn't he?"
"Yes but it's me who have to apologize. He stole your savings book and I couldn't do anything to stop him."
Aiba froze. There was just a week to go before the month's end. He would never be able to gain back all that money.
"It's okay, Aiba-chan. We will help you..."
"No! I won't get any of you involved with my problems anymore!" He cried out. "I'm going to settle my mess on my own and I'm going to do it right now." And then he hurriedly left the room.
"What happened?" Ohno asked to his lover upon seeing Aiba running away.
"Satoshi, stop him! Please! I bet he's going to do something stupid." Nino begged trying to get up. Ohno immediately asked Toma to follow the host and came back into the room to listen the details from Nino.
---------------------
Aiba was a good runner but Ikuta managed to stop him right in front of the hospital entrance.
"Aiba-chan, cool down!" The gorgeous man almost screamed when Aiba tried to run away again. "Where are you going?"
And then he realized he didn't know where Matsuoka was hiding. He took his cell phone, looked at the last received call and dialed that number.
"Aiba-chan, I'm going crazy! What's happening?" Ikuta asked, losing his patience.
"All of this shit is my fault." Aiba replied ending the call. "I'm going to settle this with my own hands so don't tamper."
The man who was speaking in front of Toma was a completely different Aiba. He was resolute and his eyes were saying to Ikuta that he was serious enough to do something that he would regret sooner or later.
"I can't leave you alone. Sakurai asked me to stay by your side."
"Where is he?" The host finally remembered that his lover wasn't with him and all of a sudden curiosity filled his mind.
"I can't say. He will explain everything when he'll come back. Wait for him." Toma weighed his word to persuade Aiba to stay there at the hospital.
"I'll come back. I've just to get back my savings book. It's important! Sho-kun will understand." He said, walking away.
"Then we'll come with you." Matsumoto butted in before stepping out from the hospital. He took Ikuta's hand in his and followed Aiba who tried again to call Matsuoka.
"Ah! Moshi-moshi! Matsuoka..."
"Masaki...help me..."
