Akihito's been feeling weird for awhile now. The feeling of being stared at was not leaving him. He looked around and he saw the guard Asami assigned to him-- Tetsuo, at the far corner of the room looking the other way yet he could feel that the guard still knows where Akihito is in that room full of people. Tetsuo never leaves him from when he exit his apartment door til now, he sure find it hard to shake the guard. He was just left alone because they were here for work, and people from the photographer zone were limited and need an access to get to, which is only one for him and Mr. Narumiya. With almost the same build and height as Asami with a blank look on his face, Akihito find it hard to tell what the guard's thinking.
He meet up with Mr. Narumiya earlier and he was asked who's the guy with him. He told him about Tetsuo being his driver/assistant, aside from the fact that he was hired by somebody else for him and that he's also his bodyguard. It was easy to say that he hired the guy, since he can actually afford it if he really wanted one. But he doubt that he could afford a guy like Tetsuo. He hasn't yet asked him about his qualification, and it's the first time they're meeting but he can tell from the guard's demeanor that he was an elite; trained and excel in the job he was hired to do, the way he blend his presence around and not talking unless asked. And Asami must have approved him himself. He couldn't thread more excuses for Asami to delay the deployment of guard for him any longer. At least he was able to evade it for more than two weeks until he told Asami that he was going to an event and the man insisted for a guard or he will not be going at all. As if that would stop him, but he concede just to avoid argument and true to his word, he hired only one guard.
It was luck that the event Mr. Narumiya invited him to, fell into his free day. Unlike him, Mr. Narumiya cleared his schedule just for this day. He was asked to be the official photographer of the event and Akihito was just happy to help. And it's not everyday that he could attend a fashion show like this with a mix of local and international supermodels. It was a big event seeing there were a lot of celebrities present. He could also see some editors from renowned magazines and famous fashion designers. As a model himself, it's really an honor to meet the big names in the industry. Though he was there as an assistant photographer.
However, the look he's receiving now was different from the usual guarding eyes he'd received from the guard. It feels more like, he was an specimen under the microscope, being studied from top to bottom, in and out. It wouldn't matter if he was here as one of the model, but he's not so it makes the staredown more unnerving. And to think that those eyes were not only a pair. The hair on the back of his neck were standing up. He followed the gazed back to a darker side of the room where someone was actually sitting but he cannot make out who. The whole place gone dark a few minutes ago and the light remaining was only on the stage where the models started to appear. Akihito tore his gaze from the person there and look the other way and his eyes landed to Feilong sitting near the ramp, and with the help of the lighting he could see that the man was staring back at him. That was two pairs of eyes sternly looking at him. The other one was from upstairs were a tinted glass hid the person whoever that is, and Akihito never dared to look up. Sometimes he really hate how sharp his senses are. He remained calm and focused himself in helping Mr. Narumiya, and sometimes took a picture by himself instead.
When the show has ended, Feilong approached Mr. Narumiya and they talked about the pictures they took, and someone from the magazine that would feature the story asked for his and Mr. Narumiya's photos, that left Akihito alone in the presence of the Chinese man. Unlike before he was in a suit today and not in the Chinese dress he saw him before on their first meeting and his long hair was now loosely tied behind him.
"Hello, Takaba. I'm glad you're able to come." Feilong greeted Akihito when Mr. Narumiya were gone.
"Yeah, thank you for extending your invitation to me." Akihito said smiling, the man returned with a tap to his shoulder.
