Takeda and Yamamoto observed Akihito and Asami's faces before speaking:

-Now, we have the results of the last exam, Takaba-kun.

Akihito squeezed Asami's hand and the yakuza tried to calm him down:

-Have no fear, Akihito. Everything will be ok.

Takeda waited for some minutes because he saw that Akihito was scared. He knew that the boy needed to be Strong and he had to give the boy some hope.

-Takaba-kun, the last tomography indicates that your tumor has grown. I have never seen a tumor growing so fast before. We need to perform the surgery urgently. But please, have no fear as Asami-san spoke. Calm down Takaba-kun.

Akihito tried to stay calm but Asami saw that tears were appearing in his eyes. The boy breathed deeply and asked Yamamoto:

-Are you ready, sensei? If you are ready, I just want to talk to some people to tell them the day of the surgery.

Yamamoto spoke with a smooth voice:

-Don't worry, Takaba-kun. You are in good hands. I will do the best. Please, calm down. I know it is difficult but you need to stay calm. I will do my part and you need to do yours.

-It's ok, sensei. I am not afraid. I know you'll do the best.

The doctors left the room and Asami and Akihito stayed in silence for some minutes. Asami looked at Akihito. Nobody would say that the boy had a serious illness. He looked so healthy.

Akihito was the first to break the silence:

-Asami, I have to tell my friends and Family about my situation. I am going to concentrate myself in my wish of living.

Asami hugged Akihito tightly and said:

-I am with you, Akihito. Be sure of this.

The boy smiled and sat down. Asami asked him:

-Please, Akihito, don't try to get up. The doctors said that you need to stay on bed. You can get dizzy and faint.

-Asami, this is so boring. When will I be able to walk again? I don't know if I will get paralyzed from the waist down. So, I want to walk.

-Sit if you want but don't try to get up and walk, Akihito.

The boy obeyed and Asami told him:

-I will have to solve some questions, Akihito. But I will come back as soon as possible. My men will stay here to give you everything you need. And call the nurses if you need help, ok? I asked my men to call me if you feel anything.

-Ok, Asami-sama. Said Akihito, smiling.

Asami phoned Kirishima to ask him to take him at the hospital:

-I have too many things to solve, Kirishima. Come here with Suoh.

Kirishima, with a worried tone, asked Asami:

-How is the boy, Asami-sama?

Asami left the room and spoke calmly:

-His tumor has grown, Kirishima. As the doctor has told us, we don't have time in our favor. The doctors have to perform the surgery urgently. Well, I have to take a shower and eat anything. Bring some men to stay here at the hospital. With Arbatov in Japan, we need to take care. Akihito needs to stay safe in order to get better without problems. And Arbatov is a problem. Not only Yuri but also Mikhail.

Kirishima said that he would choose four good men to stay at the hospital with Akihito and Asami thanked him. After finishing his conversation, Asami returned to the room and saw Akihito sitting on the bed, looking at his cellphone. He talked calmly:
