Chapter Four

Seiji stood right in front of the taxi, hands on his waist. He was staring straight at Yuuma. Just what was this man thinking? If he hadn't taken a shortcut, he would have gotten away and that would put a huge dent in his flawless history of being a bodyguard. His own client running away.

Again.

"Come out this instant!" he shouted. "If you don't want me as your bodyguard, you should follow the necessary procedures and get someone else! Otherwise, I will not leave you alone! This is my job and I take it very seriously!"

That would have been easy. Except, Yuuma didn't want any bodyguard at all. Not Tiger, not Whale, not anyone.

Angry, Yuuma got out of the car and slammed it shut. He stalked towards Seiji, glaring so hard one would think Seiji had committed the worst possible thing. "I don't want a bodyguard" he said. "My brother hired you, not me. You should go to him"

Seiji scoffed. "The file said Kagarawa Yuuma and that's you. I'm not dumb. If you don't want a bodyguard then let's go to the company now and resolve this"

"I'm not going anywhere with you" Yuuma insisted. He knew that nothing good will come out of it for his brother will not agree. He decided to calm down and explain things gently to Seiji. "Look, I came back to Japan to find someone. That person means everything to me so please, let me go. If it's money that you-"

He was suddenly cut off as Seiji bent down and picked him up, throwing him on his shoulder. "Save it for the company. I don't want to guard someone as troublesome as you anyway"

"Y-You! You brute!" Yuuma shouted. They were in the middle of the street for God's sake. He's Kagarawa Yuuma! A famous actor! And he's being carried like a child. This will make the front pages of every newspaper and magazine! "Let me go! Let me down right now!"

His face was red. How embarrassing! He started to kick and struggle, pounding on Seiji's muscled back.

Seiji chuckled. "You hit like a girl"

"You! Let me go this instant! You ape! Stupid gorilla! I'll file a complaint against you! Let me down! You black bellied inconsiderate baboon! Elephant! Let me go! Let me go!"

Yuuma's cries fell on deaf ears. Seiji even began to hum the tune of his favourite song to himself as he walked all the way back to the airport where he found Kai pacing up and down, extremely worried.

Kai's eyes widened and his soul nearly left his body the second he saw them approach. "Y-Y-Yuuma-san! I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry! Sei- I mean Tiger! What the hell are you doing?! Put him down now!". The stupid boy made him nearly mess up their code names. He decided to address Seiji as Tiger so as not to make any mistakes.

"You hear that you brute!" Yuuma shouted. "Your superior is telling you to let me go! Let me down now!"

The bodyguard continued to ignore them as if his ear was made of iron. He opened the door to the Honda and stuffed Yuuma in then quickly locked it. The poor actor kept shouting and pounding on the window.

"Tiger! You are unbelievable! I told you to let him go!" Kai shouted.

"And I did Whale-senpai. He's in the car. Safe and sound" Seiji replied with a grin. It was always funny calling Kai 'Whale'. "Now all we have to do is take him back to company and change his bodyguard. I don't want him no matter how much they pay me"

Kai was stunned. For the first time, Seiji was rejecting a client! "A-Are you sure?" he stuttered.

"Of course. He told me he doesn't want a bodyguard and if I insist, I'll be the one to suffer. Let's just go back to the company and resolve this".

Kai also thought it was the best solution. The last client ran away because Seiji scared him. This one ran away because he doesn't want a bodyguard. The only way was to come up with a solution beneficial to everyone. He nodded. "Okay. Let's go"

********

Getting Yuuma to the company was easier said than done.

Mr Sunny Lee entered his office to find three men. Two of which he knew, looking rough and tattered and one, whom he didn't know, was bound tightly to a chair.

"What is the meaning of this?" he asked in his baritone voice.

Kai and Seiji felt chills run down their spine.

Sunny Lee is not only a boxing champion but also a retired soldier. The man was a complete beast. Even bigger than Seiji. He had a bald head with two dark eyes that seem to peer right into your soul. His nose was crooked and he had a bushy greying mustache above thick lips. He was dressed in a three piece black suit which did nothing to hide those bulging muscles.

Even Yuuma who was struggling on the chair, froze instantly.

"Are you all deaf?!" Sunny Lee shouted. "Do you I need to beat the answers out of you?!"

They had duck taped Yuuma's mouth so he couldn't speak. Seiji refused to talk at all which left only Kai who was sweating bullets.

"L-Lee-sama" he began, "W-Well, the person on the chair is Kagarawa Yuuma. H-He is Tiger's new client"

Sunny Lee gazed at Yuuma for a second then turned to Seiji. He said in a very frightening tone; "Explain"

Seiji gathered all his courage, not wanting to look weak in front of Yuuma then spoke with a clear voice and calm tone, all that had happened when they went to the airport. How Yuuma has deceived them and tried to escape and how he caught him. How Yuuma fought like a cat in the car, how they tied him up and brought him to the company.

At the end of everything, Seiji received a harsh blow to the gut from Sunny. He bent over in pain but didn't let out a single sound.

Kai gritted his teeth as he knew how painful Sunny's punches were while Yuuma's heart banged against his rib cage. He felt guilty all of a sudden. If he hadn't ran away, Seiji wouldn't have been punished like this.
