9 Dispute

"It's me Sakusa. Are you free tonight?"

Atsumu clenched his fist trying to suppress his anger as he saw Hinata who's covering his mouth so tight to stop his self from sobbing so that Sakusa won't hear him on the other line. Sugawara signaled Atsumu to nod to answer Sakusa's invitation.

"Yes I am. What do you want?" Atsumu asked.

"Nothing. We'll just be having a celebration tonight that's why I invited you." Sakusa said.

"But you told me I'm still not part of the clan so why the sudden invitation?"

"We won't be doing it in the mansion. It will be held on just one of the clubs I own and I think this will be a good opportunity so that you can get used with the environment that I have."

"So what's with this celebration? Is it your birthday or something?" Atsumu asked as he's curious on what this celebration is all about.

"We caught a big fish"

As soon as Sakusa said that a beep on the other line can be heard. Sakusa hung up the phone call.

"What did he said?" Daichi asked.

"He's inviting me to one of his clubs for a celebration." Atsumu answered.

"Celebration? Of what?" Sugawara asked.

"I don't know. He just told me that they caught a big fish." Atsumu said.

Sugawara's eyes widened hearing this from Atsumu.

"Don't tell me that's....that?" Tsukishima asked.

"No, we're still not sure. Let's not jump into conclusion with just that hint." Sugawara said.

"Is it Kageyama?" Hinata asked

Sugawara kneeled infront of Hinata and held his face.

"Hinata, I know things will be tough for you for the next few hours or the next few days but we will try our best to bring him back to you, okay?" Sugawara smiled at Hinata assuring him that everything's gonna be alright.

"Hinata, please go home for now. We don't want you to get involved in this any further." Daichi said as he sit infront of the screens trying to get any details from the abduction.

"Wait no! This is unfair! I want to be the one to save him!" Hinata protested.

"Idiot, this is for the best so just deal with it. You'll just cause inconvenience and trouble for all of us involved in here." Tsukishima said.

"For the best?! Do you think I can just rest in our house waiting if he'll come home and thinking if he's still alive as of now? Do you think I can eat not knowing if he already eaten or not?! Do you think I can just close my eyes seeing him suffering like that?! You don't know, right?! All you know is just for your convenience and you don't even care for what people's feelings are! You're fucking selfish, you dickhead prick!" Hinata shouted.

Tsukishima was about to punch Hinata on the face but someone suddenly slapped him. It was Sugawara. 

"Can you hear yourself saying those words?! We are all feeling like that! We're scared, worried and concerned of Kageyama! I told you already, didn't I? We will try our best to save him from the Sakusa clan and bring him back home to you! Why can't you understand those simple words I have said to you?  You joined in this line of work knowing this would happen eventually, right? So stop mixing your personal feelings with your work!"

"Sugawara-san please, I won't demand anything from you ever again, please just this once." Hinata pleaded while kneeling infront of Sugawara .

"Isn't it fine? We can use him to bring back Kageyama." Atsumu suddenly suggested.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Tsukishima shouted.

"Tsukki, Hinata has been with us for almost six years. If we're going to replace him with someone, no one will fill in on that position. We're in a binge right now and looking for a sub will just take too much time and will cause delay. He won't be on the front line so everything's gonna be alright. Hinata will just do his work normally and we will save Kageyama from his miseries." Atsumu proposed.

"He has a point. We're running out of time now and there's no way we can look for a sub until tonight." Daichi said.

"Wait you too?! Don't you know how dangerous it might be? This dumbass will definitely jump in to save Kageyama when everything goes out of control!" Tsukishima said as he points to Hinata.

"Shut yer' trap, Tsukki. It's a little bit obvious that you're being overprotective of him. Why not say how you love him instead of being salty?" Atsumu said while poking Tsukishima's side trying to tease him. 

"What? I don't love this fucking shrimp!" Tsukishima said while glaring at Hinata.

"Yeah, yeah, we all know you have a different way to express your love with someone. You've been bad with words on how you can express your feelings towards others so yeah we understand." Atsumu said as he wave his hand signaling him to drop the topic already. 

"Hinata, I'm sorry for slapping you earlier."

"No... it's fine. It's entirely my fault so you don't need to say sorry, Sugawara-san" 

"Also, Tsukishima. I'm sorry for saying those things without considering your feelings too." Hinata said as he smiled at Tsukishima.

"Tch."

"Wait did you just clicked your tongue on me?! I heard that!"

"Everyone calm down. We need to plan this mission right away cause we don't have any time left." Sugawara said while standing in between Hinata and Tsukishima who's about to punch each other. 

"Iwaizumi and also Oikawa, thank you for helping us out today." Daichi said as he pat Iwaizumi and Oikawa's shoulders.

"This is part of our work so no big deal. Good luck on the mission and we're gonna go ahead." Iwaizumi was about to grab Oikawa's hands but he went right infront of Hinata.

"Chibi-chan.... can I hug you right now?" Oikawa said who looks like down in dumps.

"Eh? Yeah it's fine." Hinata said and hugged Oikawa even though he's confused with the sudden request. 

"Trash, stop that they need to work!" Iwaizumi said as he drag Oikawa out of the room.

Iwaizumi waved his goodbye to the others and closed the door infront of them. He suddenly smacked the other that made him groan in pain.

"Why the fuck did you hugged that kid?" 

"Nothing... it's just that he doesn't have any time left in this world."

"What? I didn't hear those last words you said." Iwaizumi said as he lean his face right next to Oikawa's lips.

"Stop leaning your face close to me or else I'll kiss you."

Iwaizumi walked five meters away from Oikawa that made him chuckled. He signaled him to stop fucking around cause he wants to eat damn much right now.

11:23 PM January 25, 2021

3-16 Maruyama-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo

"Meet me at Ace of Clubs. It's a 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station going towards Dogenzaka. Don't be late and arrive before 11:30 in the evening."

Atsumu looked back and forth on his phone trying to look for the club that Sakusa said but it's nowhere to be found in his GPS. A shady looking building was right infront of him and a bouncer who's about 6 feet tall was glaring at him. Even though, he's scared and doesn't want to be involved with this guy, he gather all of his courage together to ask the bouncer.

"Excuse me, can I ask where Ace of Clubs is?" 

The bouncer just looked at Atsumu from top to bottom and asked,

"Your name?"

"Suzuki Atsumu"

The bouncer opened the door and guided Atsumu to a basement that's filled with crowds whom are drunk and some were making out on the couch and corners of the club. The bouncer pointed somewhere in the club and Atsumu saw Sakusa who was surrounded by girls that are clinging on him too much. When Atsumu was already infront of Sakusa, instead of just chatting, he was kissing a beautiful blonde girl and it made Atsumu feel almost sick as he watched.

Atsumu cleared his throat trying to get Sakusa's attention away from the girl he's making out with right now. Sakusa noticed Atsumu infront of him and he slowly pulled away from the woman's lips and looked at him with an expectant look. 

"Yes?"

That wasn't the reaction that Atsumu was expecting. "This fucking bastard invited me but now he's acting like he doesn't know me." Atsumu just forced a smile and said,

"I was wondering if I could speak with you." 

Sakusa looked up at him from top to bottom and said, "And you are?" His voice seems like he's teasing him.

"Sakusa, do you know this guy?" The beautiful blonde girl asked.

"No, I don't know him." 

Atsumu felt his anger piling up and he can feel himself heating from how Sakusa is treating him right now. He rolled his eyes before walking away and leaving Sakusa behind. He glanced over his shoulder to look back at Sakusa but it didn't seem like his attitude affected Sakusa since he went back from kissing the blonde woman. He walked to the bar and ordered himself a drink, watching Sakusa from the corner of his eyes, thinking when the hell can he kill this bastard who doesn't have any dignity in his body. A few minutes later, a man sat down at the bar in the stool next to his own. It was Kita Shinsuke.

"Kita-san, it's been a while." Atsumu said.

"Shinsuke is fine since I'm calling you based on your first name." Kita smiled. 

"Why are you alone in here? Where's Sakusa?" Kita added.

Atsumu pointed from where Sakusa's direction is and said, "Flirting." 

"Oh... he's doing it again."

"Again?"

"Yeah. Sakusa's a clean freak so kissing someone like that will be a no go for him but when he's stressed out or has a problem, he always does that, sleeping with tons of girls and stuff." Kita said still looking on Sakusa's direction.

"I forgot to ask Sakusa about this but what's with the celebration? He didn't tell me about it and just invited me in here." Atsumu asked. 

"I think you'll know it now." Kita said looking at Atsumu while forcing a smile on his face.

Sakusa arrived soon after and told the both of them to follow him upstairs. They stopped infront of a red door and one of his men opened it. The room was filled with both of the clan's men with guns on their waist. 

Sakusa went up at the elevated stage infront and smiled at everyone.

"Welcome to everyone in here tonight, I'd like a toast from everyone cause we are celebrating something special today especially for Kita who's been a dumbass for two years. This is for you bud! Cheers to the big fish we've caught today!"

People raised their wine for a toast and drank the drink they were holding but Kita and Atsumu didn't do it. 

"What's with the two of you? Aren't you happy right now? I understand Kita but what about you Atsumu?" Sakusa said through his mic.

"I still don't have any clue about this celebration so how can I even be happy about it or not?" 

"Oh right, I forgot I haven't mentioned this about it through the call."

Sakusa put down the glass he was holding and hold on to a rope that seems to be connected to the curtain behind him. 

"I will show you the fish we've caught today"

"Here it comes! If it's Kageyama surround the whole vicinity of the club and raid it. We need to capture Sakusa and Kita alive no matter what!" Daichi ordered.

"Yes Sir!"

Atsumu heard the order through his wireless spy micro earpiece that he's been wearing ever since he stepped on the club. When Sakusa pulled the rope, the curtain behind him fell down and revealed a boy with dark brown, slightly-combed down hair, with few strands sticking out at the top of his head and middle-parted bangs. He has grayish-yellow narrow eyes and thin eyebrows. It was not Kageyama.

"Standby team! It's not Kageyama! I repeat standby!" Daichi said.

Sakusa went infront of the boy and grabbed his face that's almost not recognizable because of bruises and his blood that dried up.

"Suna Rintarou. Is it fun betraying people? Did you had fun telling lies and living your whole life deceiving people? Is it fun seeing Kita suffering right now knowing he did all of his best to protect your useless goddamn life? Is it fun, huh?" Sakusa said as he tighten his grip on Suna's face. He faced Suna infront of Kita and tears suddenly filled up both Suna and Kita's eyes. They saw each other suffering from this situation. Sakusa chuckled from this sight and ordered Kita to go up the stage. 

"Since it's Suna's birthday today, why don't we give him a cake?" Sakusa ordered one of his men to bring out the cake he prepared and placed it right infront of Suna. He lighted up the candle and glanced back at Suna.

"You can ask any wish you want, Suna. Since this will be the last one." Sakusa grinned and lightly push Kita towards Suna. "Ask the fuck out of him, Kita."

Kita, who's been trembling and shaking the moment he saw Suna who's been beaten up so bad, doesn't even know what to do anymore. He knew Suna is one of the cops but kept his eyes closed and his mouth shut about it. He loves Suna just the way he is and doesn't even care where he works for. He knows what Suna showed and expressed towards him were all genuine and none of it was fake. He have loved him from the bottom of his heart and doesn't even want to let him go now. 

"Suna, please tell me the truth, does all of the acts you showed me were real? Did you really loved me?" Kita asked.

Suna looked up at Kita and smiled, "Yes, I....did."

Kita smiled hearing Suna's response on his question.

"Fucking end this already" Sakusa shouted.

"Do you have any wish that you want me to fulfill?" Kita said as he held Suna's face.

"Shinsuke, please..... help me."

As soon as Suna said those words, Kita grabbed his gun from his waist and pointed it at Sakusa. A loud unison of gun's clicking can be heard from the room and both clan's men were pointing guns at each other. 

"Let go of my lover, Sakusa."
