Minami Nubou sat on a single chair

Minami Nubou sat on a single chair in one of Asami's many warehouses, his wrists and ankles bound tightly with cords.

Toru had intentionally used cords over ropes, knowing that if Minami tried to loosen his bonds, they would bit into his flesh.

Together with Ando, he watched the Minami's eyes fluttered for a few times as he struggled to stay focus. The lanky guard looked at his partner, nodding his head.

Ando went round the boy and yanked his head up by pulling his hair.

"How's the nap, Minami kun?"

The brown eyes widened in shock and pain. Then, fear took over and Minami began to tremble.

"You—you're Asami san's guards!"

Releasing Minami's hair, Ando moved to the front until he was inches from Minami's face. "No, we're Takaba sama's guards."

"Takaba?" Minami asked, confused. "As in Takaba Akihito?"

Toru's fist shot out at Minami's stomach, watched him coughed out droplets of blood. "Don't call his name so casually."

"I have to give you some credits," Ando grinned almost evilly as he plowed his fist into Minami's face. "You actually dare to offer yourself to Asami sama."

"I – I didn't know that lowly – TAKABA," he quickly corrected when Toru narrowed his eyes, "—is Asami san's lover!"

The lie earned Minami another blow from Toru. "You knew. You were watching Takaba sama all night long. You followed him to his office."

By now, blood dripped from Minami's nose and he began to sob from the pain. "I'm sorry, please don't hurt me. I promise I won't go near Takaba again."

"Toru san, how far did Asami sama want us to teach his narcissist a lesson?" Ando cracked his knuckles as he moved a step nearer to the boy.

"A broken bone or two should suffice," Toru said emotionlessly.

Minami's eyes bulged in fear as he shook his head. "No, please – please!"

Just as Ando was about to carry out his orders, Toru's phone signaled an incoming call.

"Ando, hold on," he ordered before taking the call.

"It's me. Let him go."

"Understood," Toru replied before ending the call. "Asami sama said to let him go."

Ando was quick to protest. "Toru san, but we just got started!"

Toru moved behind Minami, cut the cords loose. The boy fell onto his knees, massaging his sore wrists. "Thank – thank you."

Ando looked at Minami in disgust. "What if he tells everyone about Takaba sama's relationship with Asami sama?"

"I won't, I swear I'll keep it to myself!" Minami pleaded.

Toru crouched down in front of Minami. Retrieving his gun, he shoved the gun beneath Minami's chin. His dark eyes went still and cold. "If you hurt Takaba sama in any way, we'll hunt you down."

Ando grabbed Minami's yukata, yanked him forward. "And when we do, we'll kill you and dump your body in the sea."

"Do you understand?" Toru asked.

Minami managed to bob his head but Ando slapped him.

"Louder, we can't hear you!"

"Yes!" Minami all but screamed the word out.

Knowing that they had completed the task, Toru gestured Ando to move out of the warehouse, leaving behind a sobbing Minami.

Omake – Part 2 – Kurokawa Onsen

Back at the onsen, Kirishima and Suoh were waiting for them to return.

"So, how did it go? Did that Minami guy scream when you break his bones?" Suoh asked when they sat around the small table in the villa.

"Asami sama said to let him go," Ando replied.

Kirishima looked up from his sake cup, surprised. "Asami sama said that?"

Toru nodded. "I think Takaba sama persuaded the boss to let Minami go."

Suoh passed a cup of sake to Toru. "And Asami sama actually agreed?"

"It wouldn't be the first time. Remember Ishida Atsuki? Takaba sama pleaded for him too." Toru mumbled his thanks when Suoh passed him a cup of sake.

"He did?"

Toru nodded at the bulky guard. "I was there when Takaba sama pleaded the boss not to kill Ishida."

Kirishima pushed his spectacles up. "I have my doubts when Asami sama didn't kill Ishida. It isn't the boss's nature to spare someone like Ishida, especially what he did to Takaba sama."

"What surprises me was the boss actually acquiesced to Takaba sama's requests –," the bulky guard trailed off.

The secretary looked at his long-time partner and friend. "Why do you look so worried?"

Suoh downed his cup of sake. "We already know that Takaba sama means a lot to the boss. What if our enemies get their hands on the young boss and use him against Asami sama? It'll mark the downfall of Asami sama and Sion."

The question had everyone stunned. As they sat around the small table, thinking about the question that Suoh posed, Toru drank his cup of sake and stared at his friends.

"We'll just have to make sure it doesn't happen."

"But Toru san, what if Takaba sama leaves Asami sama? That could –,"

Toru stared at Ando, his dark eyes cool and calm. "We'll make sure it doesn't happen too."

The simplicity of the answer made Kirishima smile. "Toru's right. We just have to take preventive measures."

The secretary raised his ceramic sake cup, prompting others to do the same. "To Asami sama."

Suoh grinned. "To Sion."

Ando raised his cup. "To Takaba sama."

Toru thought for a moment before looking at the three men in front of him. "To us."

The four toasted and drank.

Business as Usual Chapter 29 - Owari

A/N: I hope this chapter is acceptable. Writing after a long period of absence was extremely challenging and I got stuck countless of times while writing. In Minami's POV, I use Takaba instead of Akihito. I thought it'd be weird for Minami to call Akihito his first name since they're not that close.

A/N 2: The Owari scenes are requests from Rein. She wanted me to write either Owari 1 or 2 but I thought I'd write both. ^^

A/N 3: I haven't figured out what to write for the next chapter so it might take me a while to update. Sorry!

A/N 4: A few readers commented that they do not know how to pm me. Please click on my pen name and you'll see the PM button on your far left. It's just below my pen name ^^ If you prefer, you can also email me at my gmail account: kadzuki23.

Viết sau khi một thời gian dài vắng mặt là cực kỳ khó khăn và tôi đã bị mắc kẹt vô số lần trong khi viết. Trong Minami của POV, tôi sử dụng Takaba thay vì Akihito. Tôi nghĩ rằng nó sẽ là lạ cho Minami gọi Akihito tên đầu tiên của ông kể từ khi chúng tôi không gần đó.A/N 2: Các cảnh Owari là yêu cầu từ Rein. Cô muốn tôi viết Owari 1 hoặc 2 nhưng tôi nghĩ tôi muốn viết cả hai. ^^A/N 3: tôi đã không đã tìm ra những gì để viết cho chương kế tiếp, do đó, nó có thể đưa cho tôi một thời gian để cập nhật.
