The touch of an angel

The day of the surgery

Asami and Kirishima entered Akihito's room and saw that Akihito was talking to someone at the cellphone. Asami asked Kirishima:

-Kirishima, call four men to stay here tonight, please. I will talk to Takaba now.

-Yes, Asami-sama.

Akihito looked at Asami and saw that the yakuza was very serious. He asked him:

-Asami, what happened? Did you have a bad day? Did you have a tiresome meeting?

Asami breathed and said with a serious tone:

-Akihito, I know that a man came here and talked to you.

Akihito understood immediately and complained:

-So, your men told you about that guy called Yuri Arbatov that came here and talked to me.

-Akihito, you cannot trust him. He is really evil. What about did he talk to you?

Akihito told Asami about the strange conversation he had had with Arbatov and Asami thought that he should explain some things.

-Akihito, there are too many things you don't need to know but I assure you Yuri Arbatov is one of the worst persons you could know. He said that he was my friend but, in fact, we are enemies. Don't trust him. I wish you had never met people like Feilong and Arbatov. You can't imagine how I felt when I knew that Feilong and you knew one another.

Akihito observed that Feilong had been gentle to him but Asami wasn't sure if he could trust Feilong. The chinese máfia boss was revengeful and, although he seemed to like Akihito, he could still use him in a revenge plane.

-Akihito, you shouldn't trust Feilong. He isn't reliable. We have a long story of rivalry and hatred.

The boy decided to change the subject of the conversation and said:

-Asami, Yamamoto-sensei came to talk to me. He said that I must have the surgery immediately or else I will die. I told him that I want the surgery now. Well, I am afraid but I am hopeful as well.

Asami decided that he would talk to Yamamoto and Takeda personally. If Akihito had to be operated, he should be operated immediately. They couldn't wait. Time wasn't in Akihito's favor.

-It's ok, Akihito. I will talk to the doctors. And know that, after you be released, you'll go to the penthouse and finish your recovery there.

-Asami, I think that, if I finish in a wheelchair, I won't give up. Too many people lose their legs or arms and continue to live.

Asami caressed Akihito's hair and told him to rest because he would talk to the doctors. Akihito complained:

-I have rested almost all the day, Asami. Do you think it is easy to stay on a bed?

-Akihito, stop being so stubborn. You need to take care of your health. Now, be a good boy and stay on bed. You know that you can faint.

Asami left the room and asked a nurse:

-I want to talk to Yamamoto-sensei. My name is Asami Ryuichi.

The nurse said:

-Come with me, Asami-san.

The nurse guided Asami to Takeda's room. The doctor was sitting and examining some X-ray exams and told Asami to sit down. Asami sat and Takeda looked at him for some minutes before saying:

-Yamamoto-sensei thinks that we must schedule the day of the surgery. Takaba Akihito's tumor grew a lot and can affect his vital functions if we don't do anything now.
