Standing panting in the middle of Akira’s bedroom in the hospital and seeing nothing but empty hospital beds and they Anego were nowhere making both Toda and Waseda’s faces pale.
"What do we do now?" ask Toda.
"We’re looking for Anego again. Kumicho would be furious at both of us if we didn't find Anego." Toda nodded as he agree with his friend.
They rushed out of the room where Akira should be resting to recover his health.
Almost an hour later both Waseda and Toda meet again with empty hand.
“What should we say if Kumicho asking us where’s Anego is?” asked Toda in panted breaths.
Same as his friend, Waseda also afraid of that, he rise his hand and talk to Toda, “Let me think.”
A few minutes later Waseda took his cellphone and search for a name.
“What are you doing? Who’s do you want to call?” ask Toda while he moved closer to his friend.
“Ginjiro-san.” said Waseda as he put the cellphone on his ear.
After the phone connected then Akira’s bodyguard talking to Ginjiro.
Twenty minutes later Waseda put his cellphone into his pants pocket.
“What did Ginjiro-san say to you, Waseda?" impatiently Toda asking his friend while expecting a solution to the problem they are facing now.
“Ginjiro-san said that he will talk to Kumicho and tried to not let Kumicho come here. Ginjiro-san also wanted us to keep searching till Ginjiro-san comes.”
“So what we waiting for? Let’s search again.”
“But you know that we did it twice and Anego still nowhere.” even though Waseda saying that but both of them still going and searching to find Akira.
It was almost lunch time when Akira’s bodyguards meet with Ginjiro and they were talking in Akira’s room.
Waseda and Toda told everything they know about Akira and how their Kumicho treating their Anego to Ginjiro.

Ginjiro who was walking into the head of the Fujiwara-gumi’s workroom stopped all of a sudden, his brow frowning when he saw six members of Fujiwara-gumi standing around in front of the Fujiwara-gumi’s workroom.
Immediately he rebuked them, "Why do you all gather there?"
The six mans who are holding their ears to the leaf of the door immediately lift themselves up, after that they bowed and greet the man standing behind them, “Ginjiro-san.”
After nodded his head then Toshiyuki’s right hand man spoke again, “What are you doing here?”
“Uhm.. We.. We just curious about what happens to Waseda and Toda.”
“We didn't mean to eavesdrop on Kumicho's conversation but we were really curious and worried, what would happen to Waseda and Toda." said one of them.
Then one of them chimed in, "We hope the punishment Kumicho will give them both will not be severe."
"We knew they were negligent in their assignment and led Anego away. But we beg you, Ginjiro-san. Please speak to Kumicho so that both of them will not be severely punished." said another member of Fujiwara-gumi.
Ginjiro is very understanding of how all of them feel, let alone look at their anxious faces.
Walking to his subordinates and patted the shoulder of them one by one, then Ginjiro said to them, "I am most appreciative and also proud of the depth of brotherhood that is so great among you. Don't worry, I will make sure the punishment they will receive is not severe. But I'm gonna have to ask you to leave here if you don't want to be punished by Kumicho."
As soon as they were all gone, then Ginjiro quickly entered Toshiyuki’s workroom and what he saw made him take immediate action.
Half-ran Ginjiro toward Toshiyuki and grabbed the wrist of his best friend and his leader who was pointing a gun at the face of Akira’s bodyguards.
“Drop your gun, Toshi!" Ginjiro said in a very firm tone.
"I must punish both of them and don’t try to stop me, Gin, if you don't want to end up like the two of them." Toshiyuki said with a harsh face and voice and without diverting his gaze from Toda and Waseda.
"Have you lost your mind? They’re not guilty and you know it.”
“They neglected to keep Akira’s safety, which caused my enemy to enter the room where Akira was treated and so easily kidnap Akira." said Toshiyuki while keep holding and pointing his gun to Waseda and Toda.
"We don't know whether or not your omega was kidnapped. He could have escaped.” said Ginjiro again.
Turn his gaze and looking at his best friend with unbelievable look, Toshiyuki talked harshly to Ginjiro, "No way! Akira couldn't have run away. I treated Akira nicely. So why should Akira run away if he can and will always get what he wants when he stays here with me and I'll fulfill every wished he wants. He must have been kidnapped!”
"All right. Let's just say he was kidnapped. But I want to ask you... Is it true, you to treat him like that? Because I heard you treated him roughly."
Ginjiro's words immediately made Toshiyuki’s face and eyes transform instantly from cruel to remorseful.
Seeing how his friend was doing made Ginjiro quickly snatching the gun from Toshiyuki’s hand.
"Do you remember your father's message to both of us before your father died?" Ginjiro asked Toshiyuki as he walked to the cabinet behind Toshiyuki’s working chair then put the gun on it.
Afterward Ginjiro turned then patted and squeezed his friend's shoulder, "I'll repeat your father's message if you forget.”
“Even if our reputation as yakuza puts us in fear of others, let's not let it cause us to act like a tyrant. We must use common sense and also be fair. Especially as an alpha. An alpha must treat an omega gently, never to be abusive or use violence against an omega. No matter if the omegas is a woman or a man, as long as she or he an omega then an alpha is obliged to protect his omega. Never forget your father's message.”
What Ginjiro said made Toshiyuki speechless and consciously sitting in his work chair.
“So listen carefully to what they say before you’ve made your decision and punish them.”
After saying that, Ginjiro nodded to Akira’s bodyguards as a sign to them to talk.
***
Toshiyuki’s POV.
Its already four days since Akira gone and I still couldn’t find where is my Akira, my omega.
“BAKERO!! YOU CAN’T EVEN DO THAT!!! SHOULD I DO IT MYSELF, HUH!!!” I talking out loud to my man while slapping the table.
“N-no Kumicho. W-we-we will do it again.”
“Use all of our connection to find out where your Anego is! I want to know where’s my mate before this weekend. You got That!!!”
I know I’m not supposed to talk to my man in anger, but I need to know immediately where’s Akira is.
“Yes, Kumicho.”
I waved my hand as my command for my man to leave.
Day by day since Akira come into my life, I realized that I seldom smile and I never know how easy Akira would make me smile or even laugh.
I know as long as Akira stayed in my house and was with me as I now acknowledge my lips endlessly smiling.
Although I still don't know why, every time Akira talks about something as trivial as his words or his always adorable demeanor and behavior are able to form a smile on my lips.
But what I did to Akira made him go away and I don’t know why but since Akira left me, I feel my emotions always up so easily. I know I become harsh to them but I can’t help it.
I feel so lonely since my omega has left me and not only that but also has left a hole in my heart.
My life feels empty without Akira and I admit I miss Akira very, very much.
I leaned my back and squeezed my forehead and unconsciously I always spoke the same question to myself, “Akira, My lovely omega. where are you at this moment? Are you okay? Tell me Akira, are you okay?”
I know I was a fool, even though there was no answer but I keep asking myself over and over again.
Knock.. Knock..
“Come in.”
Ginjiro come to my office and when I saw his face I know he came with a good news, so immediately I asked him, “You know where Akira is, don’t you Gin?”
“Toshi. You must calm down and don’t be angry so easily to your man.”
“That's not an answer to my question, Gin. And you know why I can't be patient. So tell me quickly if you know where Akira is.”
“I know where your omega is but I want to sit down first." Gin said that to me while casually he walked up and sat in the chair in front of me that I had to wait impatiently.
As soon as I saw Gin sitting down I asked him straight, “Where?”
“Calm down, Toshi.” Gin said to me as he slipped a cigarette between his lips and lit it.
I impatiently tapped my index finger at the table and I immediately asked Gin the same question when I saw my best friend, who was also my right hand, blowing out his cigarette smoke.
“Your omega in another country and live alone. He work at the bakery store.” said Gin as he give me the envelope.
I eagerly opened the envelope and dropped some photographs onto my desk. With a little vibrating hand I picked up the photos and saw my beloved omega face.
“In which country?” I asked Gin while my eyes keep looking at the photo.
“Small town in England.” I heard Gin said it to me that make me rised my head immediately and looked at my best friend.
***
“Small town in England.”
Toshiyuki’s gaze look like he was not believe with what Ginjiro said.
“What did you say? England?” ask this scar face alpha.
Ginjiro nodded as he blowing up his cigarette smoke.
“Calling Iwazaki to prepare the plane. We flight tonight immediately and I want you and Kuwata also Toda and Waseda to accompany me, too.” said Toshiyuki.
“Will you just calm down?” asked Ginjiro while he flicked of cigarette ash into the ashtray.
“I can’t wait any longer, I want to get there as soon as I can and meet Akira.” Toshiyuki said that while he looking at the photo that showing Akira was smiling when he holding paper bags full of fruit.
“I think it will be better if we let him do whatever he wants for a few days. Besides, you have to prepare properly before you meet him.”
Looking at his best friend with a very unhappy face and very annoyed, Toshiyuki says to Ginjiro while occasionally raising his hand and pointing at his friend's face, “ “He” You said! He's got a name! His name is Akira, my omega and your Anego.”
Ginjiro immediately rised both of his hand while he said to Toshiyuki with amazed gaze, “Whoa...!! Clam down..”
Rise his hand and pointed to Ginjiro with his index finger, Toshiyuki said in firmly tone, “Once again I hear you call Akira like that I will slashed you into pieces!”
Still rised both of his hands Ginjiro said, “Okay.. Okay... I’m not calling your lovely omega like that anymore... Satisfy now..”
“For now yes I’m satisfied.” said Toshiyuki as he nodded his head a little bit.
After that the scar face alpha talk to his friend, “So you think it will be better if I let Akira alone for awhile.”
Ginjiro nodded as his answer while he blow his cigarette smoke.
“Okay, for Akira’s sake I will follow your suggestion. But Gin, tell Shuuji in England to keep an eye on him.”
“Okay.”
***
Inside of his bedroom, Toshiyuki leaning his board back on the head of the bed while he was still looking at the photo.
"Do you know how I miss you, Akira?" asked Toshiyuki to the Akira on the photos as his index finger rubbing Akira's face.
"I miss you hear your voice, your laugh. I miss your smile. I miss to feel you in my arms. I really want to see you, but I must wait and when we were meet again then I will holding you tight and I never let you go from me again." said Toshiyuki.
Almost all night long the leader of Fujiwara-gumi looked the photo of Akira and fall asleep while still holding Akira's photo on his chest.
***
Meanwhile in another city and in a room in the big house there were some men sitting around the round table and from their faces looking so tense that we could tell that what they were talking was a pretty serious problem.
"This is our chances and next two days we started to move. Remember! I don't want all of you make any mistakes or me, myself will kill you." said the man who was wearing white suit.
"Leave the job to us, it's a small case. We'll easily subdue him and immediately bring him to you, boss." said the man in black suit.
"Okay, I trust you to do it nicely and without fail."
