Tairu: *sitting in the middle of a dark room, tied to a chair*

???: *walks into the room with two other men* Hello Tairu. *fixes his tie before sitting down in another chair across from him*

Tairu: *growls quietly* What do you want, Clark?

Clark: *smiles and rests his chin on the palm of his own hand* Is that any way to greet your father?

Tairu: You're not my father.

Clark: Say it all you want but it's going to be true for the rest of your life. But, *drops a file in front of Tairu, the label saying 'Hanato' on it* I want to know why you've been meddling in my business.

Tairu: *looks at the file before looking back at Clark* I don't know what you're talking about.

Clark: *sneers at him* You know exactly what I'm talking about Tairu. Why the hell are you protecting that Hamato brat?

Tairu: *stares at the ground* He's not bad just because his family is your enemy.

Clark: His family is my enemy because they've tried to kill me many times before.

Tairu: Because you tried to kill them first! *glares at Clark*

Clark: Hey! If they weren't ready to be targets then they shouldn't have joined the business!

Tairu: This isn't a business, it's a battle! You just can't see that you're losing!

Clark: Shut up! *backhands Tairu* You've obviously been brainwashed by that stupid "boyfriend" of yours. I wouldn't doubt it if this is Leonardo's doing. *scratches his chin as he begins to walk to the door* I'll have to send a few men to go get that Kotaro if I want to-

Tairu: Leave him alone, dad!

Clark: *freezes before he can walk through the door, turning back to look at Tairu*

Tairu: *tears streaming down his cheeks* Please dad, leave him alone. I-I can't lose him too. I can't.

Clark: *frowns slightlty* Tairu-

Tairu: *cuts him off* He means as much to me as mom did to both of us.

Clark: *flinches, standing there and staring at Tairu* I'm sorry Tairu. *turns to leave once more*

Tairu: *grits his teeth* If you hurt him, I'll come after you.

Clark: I wouldn't expect any less from you, son. *walks out of the room, the guards closing the door behind him*

Guard: *walks next to Clark as he goes down the hall* What should we do with him, sir?

Clark: Just drop him off somewhere. Someone is bound to find him. *walks out of the building, leaving the guard behind*

Guard: *salutes as Clark leaves* Yes sir.

~later at the Hamato mansion~

Kotaro: *curled in a ball on his bed, shaking lightly*

Nari: *sitting next to him* Kotaro I know this is hard for you but I need you to focus right now, alright? Now, *starts typing on her laptop, scrolling through files of rival gang members*, do any of these people look familiar?

Kotaro: *looks up from his knees and at the screen, his eyes widening* Wait go back! *unfurls himself and scrolls back up on the screen before pointing at three men's files* Them! Those are the ones that took Tairu!

Nari: *clicks on the files and looks over them* The Hashimoto gang? I didn't know Tairu's family was in the mafia game.

Kotaro: *raises an eyebrow* They're not. *looks over the members of the gang* Tairu never told me anything about this.

Nari: Maybe he didn't to protect you.

Kotaro: I know but, why did they take him if they're on the same side?

Nari: I'm not really sure. Has Tairu ever mentioned any problems with his parents? Maybe he ran away from home and they wanted him back?

Kotaro: *shakes his head* He doesn't really talk about his parents. The only information I have is that Tairu keeps a picture of his mom in his wallet.

Nari: Hm. Strange. *starts typing something into the laptop* What kind of phone does Tairu have?

Kotaro: An IPhone, why?

Nari: *smiles and finishes typing when she hears a ding* We can use the find my phone app to figure out where he went. It's pretty simple.

Kotaro: *looks at the map on the screen* He's in an alley near fifth street! I've got to go get him! *jumps up from the bed and quickly grabs his satchel before heading to the door*

Nari: *stands up, stopping him from walking out of the room* Oh no, not alone you aren't. If those men saw you or, God forbid, Tairu spilled the beans about you then you're now a target to his family.

Kotaro: Mom please, I need to find him. Just let me take a guard. Please!

Nari: *sighs* Fine. Take Sebastian with you and don't do anything stupid.

Kotaro: Thanks mom! I love you! *runs out of the room and down the stairs*

Nari: *sighs* That boy is going to be the death of me.

~later~

Kotaro: *steps out of the limousine and frantically looks around* Damnit where is he? *walks into the alley*

Sebastion: *climbs out of the limousine* Kotaro wait, I'm supposed to be watching you.

Kotaro: *keeps walking* I'm not a toddler, Sebastion. I can take care of myself. *gasps when he sees Tairu unconscious behind a dumpster* Tairu! *kneels next to him and holds him in his arms, shaking him* Tairu wake up! Sebastion he's not walking up!

-Silence-

Sebastion: *runs over and kneels next to Tairu and Kotaro, pressing two fingers against Tairu's neck* He's alive, just passed out. Help me carry him in the car. *lifts Tairu up and carries him to the limo*

Kotaro: *runs over and opens one of the doors, allowing Sebastion to lay Tairu on the long seat inside*

Sebastion: *places a hand on Kotaro's shoulder* Sit back there with him and keep him comfortable okay? We'll fix him up back at the house.

Kotaro: *nods before climbing into the limo and sitting next to Tairu, gently running his fingers through his hair* You're gonna be okay, Tairu. I promise you. *leans down and kisses Tairu's forehead*
