The chapter starts with the mansion of Simon exploding. We find Simon in a car having a phone call with a certain man in a wheelchair - which turns out to be Aaron :D
Simon complains about Akihito almost dying in the attack on the mansion, to which Aaron retorts that he had wanted Akihito to die all along, that he never expected him to be able to kill Asami and that he was only supposed to be bait.Simon then calls their collaboration (whatever it might have been exactly) off because he sees very much potential in Akihito as his little experiment and does not want him discarded for nothing.Aaron is not too happy and swears to himself, that he’ll then get rid of Asami in his own way.Simon, on the other hand, is with Sudou in his car, who is still traumatized. Simon calls Sudou his “trump card”.
Over to Hong Kong, where we find Fei Long with a bouquet of flowers visiting a vast penthouse. He is welcomed by Kirishima, who takes him to Asami. Asami looks very disheveled and has some scratches on his cheek. He tells Fei Long and Kirishima that Akihito is very aggressive.Fei Long asks if he may go in alone, and Asami is fine with that.
Fei Long finds Akihito gagged and handcuffed. He loosens his gag and Akihito asks him to get him out of there. They speak for a short while, with Akihito trying to figure out who Fei Long is, with Fei Long telling Akihito that he will be the one to kill Asami (yeah :D) and that he wants Akihito to get well and remember him.
Akihito asks him who Fei Long is and Fei Long retorts that he may be someone who is in love with Akihito (he uses ’aishiteru’ which is strongly hinting towards romantic love). He says that when the door is already open and Asami sits only steps away.Thus, Asami must have heard it but obviously things not too much about it (I guess that at least since the end of the video all Asami understands that Fei Long loves Akihito but will never interfere with the two of them).
Fei Long and Asami talk for a while. Asami realizes that Akihito only takes HIM to be his enemy, and Fei Long hands him over some test results for Akihito.There have not been done any recent surgeries on him, so whatever has been done to him is either psychological or induced by drugs. Fei Long offers to get a Doctor to be there at all the time, and Asami is fine with that. Then, Fei Long leaves, wishing Asami good luck with timing the “stray cat”. That seems to give Asami some idea.
He starts to cook for Akihito, leaves the dishes in the room and leaves. After a while, Akihito slowly accepts this. At one time, Akihito tries to trick Asami and attacks him, but Asami dodges him, then pats his hair and tells him that Akihito has to eat if he wants to beat him. Akihito therefore decides to become stronger by eating. Hence, he eats better and more.
After a while, they even sit together on the balcony and Akihito eats in peace while Asami watches.
Akihito starts to wonder where his will to hate and kill Asami is gone to. He takes a shower soon after and collapses. Asami gets the doctor, and they find out that this is the result of the drug withdrawal. They do not know exactly what drug it was, so they can’t take direct counter measurements. They can only wait it out.
Once, Akihito awakes in pain and fantasizes about being attacked and wanting to save Asami. Asami needs to get the meds in, but there’s no other way to make Akihito swallow it than Asami kissing him and getting the drug in that way.By that Akihito is quickly back in his mind, but he clings to Asami, then starts to kiss him and begs him to have sex with him…. so they do :D
Akihito falls asleep in Asami’s arms. He wonders what the warm feeling in his heart is.
I uploaded one more of my Finder fanfictions to Wattpad ^^
„You kept him company today. I’ll be sure to return this debt someday", Asami had told Fei Long, when he picked up the drunken Akihito from a small, exclusive bar in Hong Kong. Now is the night to make good on that promise when Fei Long visits Tokyo for a business meeting on his birthday and sits alone in the bar of the Ritz-Carlton.
(In answer to the Pudding Extra - even though it’s entirely non-canon as well ^^. Set somewhen after Volume 5 & ‘Finder no Rakuin’, but before Volume 9, and yes, completely AU, I know! This is just for the joy of writing and imagining.)
Some weeks after the warehouse fight in Macao Akihito is stolen from the hospital and finds himself in enemy hands … but what to do with him? One man has some little cruel idea to get his payback from Asami. It leads to a knife held up high, ready to strike, in the hands of Akihito. His words “Bye bye Asami-san” ring through the Warsaw hotel room less like a threat, more like they were a weapon themselves.
With a single strike Asami can save himself… but how to save the one he loves? How to bring Akihito back? Also, who is behind all that mystery, who is the real enemy and how far will Asami go to finally have what he craves: A future with Akihito safely at his side?
This story starts after “Innocent Eyes” chapter 1.

(a bit of tweaking and editing. not perfect yet, but the best I could do in one session. I decided to post it ‘cos of the day. hopefully I will have the time to edit this even better and update it. I actually have it in more than 4k resolution)
