Until Death Do Us Part (SakuAtsu Mafia/Assassin AU)

Hope Burns Like Flames In The Night

Atsumu unlocked the door for Komori, who burst into the room and closed the door behind himself.

Without saying a word, Atsumu beckoned for Komori to move to the desk. Atsumu offered him the bullet and the note, and he took it without hesitation.

"How did you get this?" Komori asked as he studied the bullet and read the note.

Atsumu shrugged, "I went out with Bokkun an' Tetsu-kun," he explained, "We were attacked by Kiyoomi."

Komori froze, and his head whipped towards Atsumu, "Attacked?? Did you see that it was him??" He asked quickly.

Atsumu shook his head, "It was dark an' he was far, so I couldn't get a good look at his face," he replied.

Komori furrowed his brows, his gaze returning to the bullet, "How do you know it was Kiyo, then?" He asked.

Atsumu plopped down onto the edge of the bed and ran a hand through his hair, "There's only one person who can pinpoint my location in complete darkness after I've vanished," he said matter-of-factly, "An' that person is–"

"–Kiyo," Komori finished for him, and Atsumu nodded in confirmation.

Komori sighed and turned to the note, reading the address on the back, "So, this place, Temptation," he started, "What is it?"

Atsumu cleared his throat awkwardly, "It's a strip club," he answered.

Komori turned to Atsumu and blinked, "A strip club?" He asked incredulously.

Atsumu sighed and nodded, "I looked it up," he explained, "Not enough to get any real information though," he added.

"Then I'll go to the server room and start researching," Komori decided, "For now, get some rest. I'll probably have a plan ready by tomorrow."

Atsumu nodded in acceptance, and Komori left the room, leaving Atsumu alone once again.

Atsumu moved to the laptop, closed all the tabs, and switched it off. He then took a deep breath and switched off the lights in the room before he climbed into bed.

Atsumu let his eyes flutter closed, and for the first time in weeks, he slept well.

When he woke up, it was early morning. He'd slept for around four hours, and supposed it was better than nothing. He got up and took a cold shower to wake himself up. Feeling refreshed, he pulled on a t-shirt and some shorts before he left the room.

He walked to the kitchen and made a quick breakfast of toast and scrambled eggs with coffee. He then grabbed the food and went to find Komori.

He walked into the server room and was met with the hum of computers. The room was dark but he could easily see Komori sitting in front of the multitude of computer screens.

He pushed the door closed with his hip and moved to place one of the two plates of food and the coffee on the desk in front of Komori, who jolted at the realization of his presence.

Komori leaned back in his chair and ran his hands through his hair, exhaling heavily, "Jeez, Tsumu, you scared me," he pointed out with a yawn.

Atsumu rolled his eyes and sat down on a chair next to Komori, "I brought ya food an' coffee so don't complain," he snapped back.

Komori flashed a smile, and raised his hands in mock surrender, "Alright, alright, I take it back," he said, "Thanks for breakfast."

Atsumu nodded and began eating his toast and eggs while Komori started eating his own.

"Did ya find anythin' important 'bout the club?" Atsumu asked after they finished eating.

Komori nodded and shoved his empty plate aside before leaning over to his keyboard and bringing up the information across all the screens.

"It's a club run by one of our rivaling mafias," he informed, "I was under the impression that they weren't active anymore, but apparently they are, because they opened this place up not too long ago."

Atsumu nodded and hummed to indicate that he was still listening as Komori continued.

"It's a bisexual strip club, and from that note, it seems like Kiyo wants us to meet him there," Komori said, "But it's jam-packed with security."

Atsumu sighed, "I take it that we're gonna hafta infiltrate it then?" He asked.

Komori nodded, "That will be pretty easy," he assured, "But what's going to be difficult is getting Kiyo alone and blocking out the signal from the device they've wiretapped him with," he informed with a sigh.

Atsumu pursed his lips and thought for a minute, studying the images of the interior of the club, "I think I have an idea," he said suddenly, breaking the silence, "Strip clubs usually have rooms for private dances, right?"

"Yeah," Komori answered, "I think they're monitored with cameras, though, you know, for the dancers' safety?"

Atsumu furrowed his brows, "Well, ya an' Sunarin can loop cameras, right?"

Komori nodded, "Yeah, pretty easily," he answered.

Atsumu grinned, "Then we've got visuals covered, literally," he giggled at the pun before continuing, "We've jus' gotta get that audio scrambled."

Komori snapped his fingers and looked as if a light bulb had just lit up right above his head, "If we can get him into a private room, Suna and I could probably turn it into a sort of Faraday cage–"

"–blockin' the radio waves from reachin' the receivers!" Atsumu finished for him, grinning widely, "Toya-kun, yer a genius!"

Komori laughed and nodded excitedly, "It still needs some refining, but this plan could work!" He exclaimed, before his expression dipped, "It needs to be executed perfectly though... Kiyo could possibly be in danger, and if whatever made him leave figures out he's still working with us..." He said, realization dawning on him of the potential threat to his cousin's life.

Atsumu put a hand on Komori's shoulder, "We're gonna plan this mission properly, an' we're gonna figure out what the hell is goin' through Kiyoomi's head, okay?" He assured.

Komori chuckled, "Yeah, you're right," he agreed.

Atsumu grinned, "Now, this plan isn't gonna think itself up," he joked and Komori laughed, nodding in agreement.
