2 Chapter 2

What in the world was happening ? She wasn't actually dreaming. Reo Kobayashi, the one and only was right here in front of her. She couldn't believe this was happening. She. could feel her agitated heart knocking in her chest and without even realizing, she staring at him, hard...

The ghost of a smirk appeared on his face and she couldn't quite tell if she was dreaming or if he really just did show some emotion at her? Without any warning, he walked inside the elevator and then she realized, he had two dudes in black right behind him. They followed inside and stood by both of his sides. The elevator closed and she was left there, staring hard at his back that seemed so familiar.

The man nonchalantly continued to re-adjust the ends of his black suit and she was literally drowning in the overwhelming perfume that emanated from his luxurious clothing.

He was in an all black suit, and a white shirt. He had his black hair tied in a bun just like in the picture and she felt like going crazy over the excitement she was currently feeling. Was this really happening?

As the young woman was lost in her thoughts, she could suddenly feel Yui stinging her arm, looking her way, she noticed her friend doing some really complicated hand signals. But her so well, she knew that she was asking her why she was staring so hard.

Embarrassed Kanna brushed her question off and looked away.

The next minute they hear a slight chuckle. The most beautiful one yet... did he just laugh at this awkward situation?

She threw a quick glance in his direction and then noticed him walking away. The elevator wide open.

As she almost ran outside to see him again, her friend pulled her back inside the elevator.

"What the fuck? What are you doing?" She asked.

"I- Yui this man is the one I've been looking for all this time!"

She rolled her eyes.

"You mean to tell me that just like that you met the man of your life? Oh come one!"

"No ! You idiot! I'm talking about work! I've been looking up this dude for months now!"

"Oh" she said before throwing an annoyed sigh.

"What." She asked, annoyed by her annoyed tone.

"Well I just think that if you could leave your work at "work" sometimes..."

Kanna then sighed.

"Sorry... I just got pretty excited... I never expected to meet him like this ever..."

She stared for a few minutes before helping her out of the elevator.

"Okayyyy... I'll let you off this time... but don't do anything wrong and don't put yourself in any awkward situation with the people in here... they're not all trustworthy."

The journalist smiled at her petite friend before walking inside the room full of tarnished looking people.

"Thank you so much!"

Yui smiled back before leading her friend where her father was standing with a cup of champagne in his right hand. At their sight, he smiled, eager to see them.

"Yui, finally. And Kanna you're still as pretty as ever" he said with a familiar pat on the shoulder. The young lady smiled back.

"Thank you for receiving me" She answers while accepting the cup of champagne Yui was handing her.

"We're late because this girl you're calling a "beauty" forgot about today and I had to take care of everything at the last minute.

He threw an amused glance at her before laughing, followed by his daughter. Then they started talking about this and that and they laughed. But all the time the woman couldn't just stop staring through the crowd looking for him.

This was such a golden opportunity... she had to find him. But nothing.

Time went by and it was almost 2h30 but he still hadn't shown himself.

Sitting at the table with Yui, her dad, and some of her dad's friends Kanna suddenly felt out of place. She always got this awkward feeling when she was in a place full of random people. She always felt like she didn't belong there.

As time went by, and drinks with it, her head was starting to spin due to the heavy champagne in her system. The room was getting too busy... she needed some air, it was getting hot, and she was exhausted... she needed to get out of there.

The young lady then turned to Yui who was still laughing with her father and friends.

"Hey... I really wanna lay down now, I'm sorry, I drank too much." I said.

Her friend scanned her face quickly, a bit worried, then she went to her dad's ear and stood up.

" I'll just get her to my room okay?"

He "hummed" and she helped Kanna up. While they were walking out, Kanna couldn't help but notice how all eyes were on them. Actually, she noticed hours ago that they were being stared at by the gentlemen but didn't really pay attention to it, already lost in her own worries.

As they reached the elevator, Yui turns to her friend.

"I'm really happy you came Kanna, thanks"

Kanna smiled weakly, still feeling her head spinning.

"It's okay... I would've stayed more but this is..."

"Hey don't worry about it, you pushed yourself enough for me"

Kanna smiled again and next thing, the elevator opened up again. As they were walking out of it, Yui's phone started ringing.

"Hey" she answered.

"Yeah... I'm helping my friend to our room can you wait for me?"

"What?? No that's impossible! Hey! You better wait there!"

She then turned to Kanna and handed her a lock card.

"I'm so sorry, there is a problem with-

"Don't worry... I'm good, it's just there right?"

"Yeah, door 12 438, Eric already packed his stuff so the bed is free. I'll join you later okay?" She said before running back to the elevator.

Kanna chuckled for a few seconds before walking to the door. As she reached it she suddenly felt extremely hot, like really hot. This dress, everything was suffocating her... She needed some fresh air.

The young lady opened up the door and quickly walked inside, it locked itself automatically behind her and she literally ran to the terrace for some air, and it just felt magical. Extending both her arms in the air, eyes closed, she was enjoying the fresh automnal freeze.

She was enjoying the sound of car honks, of busy roads, loud music from the party just floors under, and this lovely familiar perfume... wait what?

Quickly opening her eyes and looking around. Kanna couldn't actually believe what she was seeing. It was him. On her terrace, sitting nonchalantly on the borders of the terrace, not the least scared of the fact that he was more than 70 meters up. And could literally fall to his death.

Her heart was beating fast and she could not even tell if this was a dream or if it was real. He had removed his coat, his white shirt was slightly unbuttoned at the top, and he staring right at her through his almond eyes, a nonchalant look on his face and a traditional wood between his white teeth.

"What is happening?..." she suddenly asked herself, too loudly.

He didn't move, still sitting on the dangerous edges and she was starting to feel nervous.

" You probably should get down... it's very dangerous to sit on these edges..." she says as she was walking closer to him.

He didn't move, but his eyes were following her as she was walking closer to him.

Kanna didn't know if it was the alcohol or the sleepiness but she didn't feel scared or threatened at all. Knowing that this man was a dangerous criminal didn't make me shiver in any way... she was just completely driven to him... his attractiveness was like magnet. Uncontrollable.

She didn't even notice but she got so close that she could feel his hot breath on her forehead. He was dominating her by his tall figure and she searched for his gaze for a moment.

He was looking down right at her, and even though it was quite impossible to read his thoughts through these almonds of his, a little smart voice was whispering to her that he was slightly amused by her braveness.

She put a hand on the border next to his hand and threw a glance at him again.

"Aren't you scared..." She asked, a confusing smile on her face, but her eyes were playful.

He then started playing with the wood between his teeth as she continued.

"I might push you over..." She added.

Then his eyes literally lit fire. He seemed to like this situation. He got the wood out of his mouth before throwing it over the edge. He then suddenly got closer to her face and, still looking at her straight through her dark eyes, he finally spoke.

"Do it."

His tone was defying, he was testing her. This man really didn't seem to be scared of anything.

She tried to change the subject. Still too close to his face.

"Why are you here?" She then asked.

He didn't draw back, his nose literally touching hers.

"Do it" he repeated.

Kanna didn't answer. Her drunk self was too absorbed by his beauty. She could see the beginning of tattoos on his neck. she had heard about the several tattoos gang members usually got but she had never seen one before.

Her hand reached for his collar and she could read excitement in his eyes. He clearly loved the adrenaline...

"Why are you here?" She then whispered, feeling her heart dangerously rushing in her chest as she was touching him. She should've never drank... but she couldn't help herself...

He was still staring at her, a bit amused by her wandering hands. She looked for his eyes again and Lord... this man was absolutely beautiful... the attractiveness was undeniable.

*What are you doing Kanna? He's dangerous Kanna...*

"You're dangerous..." She repeated.

And he just stood there, stoïc. Next thing she knew he was getting off the borders and walking around her terrace. He was taking his time, staring at the city facing them, then he turned to her.

"Being nosy will bring you nothing but trouble, woman." He spoke.

My throat knots and I realize I've been uncovered. His dark eyes do nothing but make my nervousness rise.

"Are you here to kill me?" She then asked, hardly hiding her nervousness.

He smiled and slowly started to get closer. Kanna took a few steps back but he locked her between both his arms and the border of the terrace, forcing her to look at him.

He had the most beautiful yet poisonous smile. It inspired nothing but fear, but why did she feel like he was just putting up a front?

"If I wanted you dead, you would be already."

"Why are you leaving me alive?"

"I always give too many chances to my preys." He said with a sadistic smile painted on his lips.

She then stared at his small smirk and couldn't possibly look away.

"I'm your prey then?"

"You have your answer, since I'm standing right before you."

"Why am I your prey?"

"You stuff your nose in business that have nothing to do with you."

"It's my job."

"It's also mine to make nosy people disappear."

"..."

He then backed up, his smile had disappeared.

"Take this as a warning. Because the next time you see me, your life won't be yours anymore."

Kanna loudly sighed and next thing known he was walking on the borders again like it was a game for him. The next minute he was on the terrace of the room next to hers and he got inside with a last nonchalant glance at her.

When he got out of her sight, she then realized that she had been holding her breath all the time he was in her face. She then fell down and tried to calm her heart down but it seemed impossible.

She was just threatened by the oyabun (: yakuza boss) himself. As she was trying to catch up her breath, the front door slammed.

"Kanna?" It was Yui.

She got up and ran to hug her friend. She seemed surprised.

"You're not sleeping?"

"Oh my God Yui I-..."

Kanna stopped and thought for a few seconds. She shouldn't get her involved at all... not when it had become this messy and dangerous.

"What? Kanna tell me! What's wrong?"

She smiled tenderly then hugged her again.

"I couldn't sleep so I went outside to get some fresh air that's all, I've missed you" She then lied.

She seemed to believe her as she tightened the hug.

"You're really drunk aren't you?" She said before laughing.

Kanna brushed it off and Yui helped her out of her dress and make up. 15 minutes later after bathing and cleaning their faces off the make up, they were both in bed. Yui fell asleep very easily and Kanna just sat there, lost in her thoughts. This man's presence was very overwhelming he barely said a word and yet you can feel his dominance and power.

She couldn't believe they had met just like that, after all these months she had spent looking for him.

" I guess I was doing a pretty good job while digging if I attracted that much of his attention that he had to check me himself." she thought while turning around in the bed again.

With an annoyed sigh, Kanna suddenly got up and walked to the terrace again. It was freezing now but she could care less. She walked to the border where he was sitting earlier and felt the surface under her fingers.

"Why the hell am I not scared of him? He is the youngest and most dangerous mafia God in Japan right now. He has thousands of men ready to kill for him and here I am drawn to him like a magnet. Despite his warning, despite him checking me himself, I just wanna know more about him. "

If Jean Jacques Rousseau was right, then even he haD a good side in him. All this crime all this mafia thing was just a front... he had ulterior motives, ulterior good intentions, like protecting his family from other gangs, fighting for the people he loved? She wanted to know more...

She knew she still had alcohol in her system, and it was probably the reason why was this crazy that she was standing up on the edges of the terrace trying to reach his.

A voice was telling her to get the fuck down now but she didn't want to listen. She just wanted to see him.

" I want to learn more about him... why did his ex-fiancé kill herself? Why did she feel like he did not love her? How did he feel when she was gone? I have so many answers and thank God I am drunk today, I don't feel the least scared of all the crazy lengths I'm going through just for this fucking story."

As she was standing up on the edges, She suddenly looked down. Bad idea.

She then realized how high they currently were and realized how dangerous this situation was. Her heart was dangerously racing and she could feel her body trembling. She almost lost balance and then closed her eyes to calm myself down.

Reopening eyes and staring down at the terrace she was trying to reach. Next thing known she was ridiculously jumping to reach it. Wrong move.

She reached it, well, at least her hand, and now she hanging on the border, if her hand slid off she was long gone. But, miraculously, she made it and was crawling up the other side of the terrace.

As she quickly reached for the room, she stood there and cursed herself out. The room was empty... he had already left...

Kanna then sadly walked inside and lurked every corner. He was there a few hours ago. This incredibly handsome and dangerous man was probably sleeping on this bed a few hours ago.

She fell back on the bed and closed her eyes. Trying her best to remember his dark and dangerous gaze, his sleek hair and his evil smirk.

"I wanna see him again. Like hell, I absolutely have to see him again."

"...the next time you see me, your life won't be yours anymore."

Take it. Take all of it...
