The touch of an angel

Akihito discovers the nature of Asami's business

Akihito was having a great fun at the place where he was celebrating Yoshida's birthday. An elderly woman wearing a traditional kimono served some plates and Akihito spoke:

-Thanks for your kindness, oba-chan.

The woman just smiled and answered:

-It is my pleasure, Akihito-chan. You know I enjoy having this place with many people.

Takato and Kou, who were eating morsels of strawberry cake, commented:

-Akihito, we want to see the photos of the party. I am sure you have taken excellent photos.

Yoshida, who was very happy, spoke:

-I am feeling very happy. This is the best party that I have had in my life. And remember that I want to see the photos, Akihito.

Akihito promised that he would show Yoshida the photos and began to eat again. He was also glad that he hadn't felt any headache or dizziness. It would have been very boring if he had fainted or started to feel a headache. Trying not to think about what could be happening inside his body, he spoke about Asami and Feilong to his friends. Yoshida and another friends got surprised but Takato and Kou, who knew about the dreams Akihito had had, stayed in silence.

-Why would this Asami be interested about your work, Akihito-chan? Asked the woman.

-I don't know, oba-chan. But it doesn't matter. I know I will gain a good Money.

A boy asked:

-Isn't this Asami the owner of Club Sion in Shinjuku?

-Yes, he is. Answered Akihito.

Yoshida got interested and asked:

-What is the question then?

The boy explained:

-It is said that, under the surface, he is a yakuza boss, the king of underworld in Tokyo. So, Akihito, take care. If this is true he is such a dangerous man and you shouldn't get involved with him.

Akihito, Takato and Kou looked at each other and Kou spoke:

-Aki is just going to take some photos. It is only a work. It doesn't mean that he will become Asami's friend or get involved with his business. And we must remember that this is a rumor. We cannot say that Asami Ryuichi is really a yakuza boss.

Another friend of them said:

-Well, where there is smoke there is fire.

Takato said that they should forget Asami and celebrate Yoshida's birthday. Akihito, trying to hide his discomfort, concentrated in celebrating the party. He had Always been a person of many friends and considered himself a Lucky person.

The party finally ended up and they all said goodbye to the good woman.

-Goodbye, Oba-chan. Thanks for letting us using the store.

-You are all welcome, boys. Answered her.

It was almost dawn and Akihito said to his friends:

-I will use that way as a way out to go back to my apartment. Goodbye.

-Aki, are you sure? It is said that Shinjuku is dominated by Asami Ryuichi. Why don't you come to sleep at my place? I can arrange a futou. Suggested a friend.

-I am sure everything will be ok. I am good at hiding and nobody reaches me when I run. Smiled Akihito, following his way.

Akihito took his way to go to Shinjuku. He was sure that Asami wasn't a yakuza boss. Surely, he was just a powerful businessman and the people said that he was a yakuza because they envied his Money and influence.
