outskirts of the city.
    Akira met up with Coco back at her apartment to have their own private party. When he walked in and found her already partying with best friend Gigi and her chemist boyfriend Tony. They were sniffing coke from a mirror on the coffee table.
    "Hey baby, we couldn't wait until you got here, so we got started." she giggled, why don't you take a shower and I'll be in the room where we can have our own private party."
    Akira walked over to the mirror and snorted two lines.
    The sensation was quick, it was like nothing he had ever had before. He felt as though he had a brain freeze, his nose was numb and his eyes teared up.
    "What the fuck is in that shit?" Akira asked.
    From the smirks on Coco and her friends faces it was not your everyday coke.

    "Easy man...., you don't want.... to go sniff this stuff....this isn't .... cheap street stuff. " Tony said.
    Akira frowned at Tony, either his speech was slurred or he was fucked up that fast.
    "Baby, you OK? " Coco asked, "you gotta be careful with this stuff."
    Akira shook his head hoping it was going to bring him back to normalcy.
    His face had a slight tingle.
    "Yeah, I'm fine now. What's it called and what's in that shit?"
    "Mainly coke and a little this and a little of that." Tony replied and took another hit, dunked two fingers in a small bowl of water and sniffed the water into his nose. He then offered the bowl to Akira.
    "Here, you might want to sniff some water, if the inside of your nose is burning. I call it, 'Super C'. "
    Akira took the bowl, did as Tony did and put the bowl on the table.
    "Well I'm getting into the shower. Will you coming with me? He asked Coco.

    "I've taken mine. I'll be waiting for you in bed when you come out."
    "Well don't get too plastered." he said as he went to shower.
    Akira walked into the bedroom and saw that Coco already had the bed turned back and her toys on the night table.
    He got into the shower and at one point the warm water made it feel like his skin was melting off his body and the cold like pins.
    If you had too much of that crap, you might do something terribly stupid.
    He also knew that this was not the drug for him.
    When he came out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist, he found Coco already in bed waiting for him.
    "You didn't think that I was going to let you get away without giving me my gift."
    "Why no baby, I've been saving the best gift for last."
    He grabbed Coco by her ankles as he pulled her to the edge of the bed.
    Coco let out giggle, "Mmm this is going to be good."
    "Happy birthday" he said.

    Some months later Coco told Akira that she was pregnant. He was excited. Coco had some wild ways and wanted to make an honest woman out of her. But Akira begin to suspect things between he and Coco weren't right.
    Coco would pick fights and then go off for days without telling anyone where she was at. She was messing around, he just didn't know who it was. Until one night, he went by Coco's apartment unannounced and caught them in bed. He couldn't believe it, he was heart breaking. How could they, it was someone he came to trust, and her best friends boyfriend - Tony, the chemist.

CHAPTER 5
    Hakaru and Deanna were at their wits end, Akira had been missing for three days, he wasn't answering his cell phone and wasn't anywhere to be found. They had checked his apartment, even places he might be, even the hospitals. Finally, they went to the TV station and the police to report Akira missing. That evening Akira Yamamoto's picture was on the news and people were asked to call the police.
    That evening while Ken was at his Saki bar he saw Akira's picture. He called his home in Gotemba. "How have you been?" Ken asked. Since the only time, he went to the Gotemba was on the weekend.
    "I've been well. Thank you again for letting me stay while I sort out my situation."
    "It is not a problem. I meant it when I said you can stay as long as you like.
