High & Low ~The story of SWORD~

Act 31: You are the only one for me!

"Let's talk outside!" someone mandated Cobra.

The Hoodlum Squad's Leader widened his gazes and fixed him on him. Those few days none dared to talk to Cobra. He was spaced out and heart broken. However, his act was cruel and harsh. He followed him outside of Itokan Diner. "What do you want?" he uttered strongly.

The guy who had turned the back on Cobra, suddenly turned around and lifted his fist. His arm expanded and he stroke Cobra against his face crushing him against the nearby wall and glared at him. Next he stood few steps away ready to attack again.

Cobra pounded against the wall, the impact was forceful and his back ached. He pressed his thumb and clean the drop of blood that appeared against his lips. "Teme... (You... Bast****) he cried out and jumped back asserting his balance and grabbing Hiroto from his leather Jacket.

Hiroto answered back grabbing him with extreme force from his shirt and pulling him closer. "Why are you doing this?" he shouted at him striking him one more time roughly.

Cobra crushed against the ground and he pulled himself up. "What is your problem, Amamiya?" he cried out and unleashed against him.

They exchanged a few punches and kicks. Hiroto dodged most of the blows, yet Cobra received most of Hiroto's strokes. They fight became serious after a while. Hiroto had his reason to go after Cobra. And Cobra answered back. He was not sure why Hiroto would show up dueling with him. But it surely was helping the hollowness he was feeling inside him.

Their encounter was slowly drawing attention. Naomi, Nikka, Dan, Tettsu and Chiharu who were already inside Itokan Diner stepped out and were watching speechless the fight. Naomi signed Chiharu to go and get Yamato. A few seconds later Chiharu returned with Yamato and Noboru, who went into shock watching them fight. The news that Cobra and Hiroto were fight was out. Soon, Murayama, Rocky, Takeshi and Hyuga showed up. Yet, no one really interfered to stop them. It was like if everyone would want to beat Cobra for being such a jerk towards Kasumi.

When Kohaku showed up he tried to stop the fight. Yet, Masaki grabbed him and pulled him back shaking his head. Hiroto's elder brother had also just arrived. Soon the duel seemed more chaotic. Cobra started to look messy as Hiroto strikes were bringing him on his knees. At some point Hiroto pulled back and attacked jumping up and landing with a front punch that send Cobra bump against the wall again only this time his back hit with a stronger force against the wall. He groaned and wrecked against the ground.

Hiroto panting walked over and glared at him "If you keep going at this rate you will lose. I am not sure what happened, but you have to reconsider at least talk to Kasumi." Hiroto stated as he caught now everyone attention.

Cobra tried to seat up and leaned against the wall. His expression changed as Kasumi's name was brought up. He felt his heart aching again and a rare sadness appeared in his face.

Noboru stepped in "Cobra we all thought you were to much. Kasumi almost resigned from her internship!" he said, making Cobra to pause and listen at him.

"Daro (Exactly!)" interfered Dan "And she stopped showing up to class."

"She called me too that she will not work any longer. I was surprised. But after I found out that you broke up with her it made sense. You overdid it, Baka!" Rocky chipped in.

Takeshi said "She stopped the training too, with me and Hiroto!"

Hiroto gave a light nod as he was gaining his breath back. "She did not want to do anything or see anyone! You were too much!"
