Rakuna took them out the back door and ran towards the city. He wasn't exactly slow, but it was enough for people to see a person riding on something that definitely wasn't a bike.
Akihito had taken a breather by hiding inside a restaurant. He left out the back entrance and entered a different crowd.

"Where is he?" Austin asked trying to look for Akihito.

Rakuna sniffed the air. "Ugh. I smell his blood." He followed the scent and stopped as they almost collided into a huge crowd. "Uh-oh..." At the same time, a woman spotted them and screamed. "F**k!!!"
Akihito was beginning to wonder if he wouldn't be able to make it when he heard a scream.

"I-It's OK!" Austin shouted. He spotted Akihito. "Akihito!! Jump on!" Austin yelled.

Akihito's spirit had lifted when he heard there was a wolf, but then he saw Austin and froze. "You! What are you doing here!? I don't want your help!!!"
Rakuna growled as he spotted people taking out a camera phone. He growled lowly so that only Akihito could hear him. "Look, we're both worried about you. And you're bleeding. Just get on before something unlucky happens!"

Austin narrowed his eyes. "Just get on." He said softly. Akihito reluctatly nodded and got on. He refused to touch Austin though.

Once Akihito was on, Rakuna started running back, taking alternative paths to lose whoever was follower Akihito and to avoid more cameras.

Finally when they got back to the house, Austin got down and got the fist aid kit.

Akihito sat down on one end of the couch hissing as the muscles in his shoulder jerked with the movement. He said nothing to them.
Rakuna leapt up onto the other and watched his cousin with worried eyes.

Austin started to treat Akihito. Finally and hours later, Austin was done. He bandaged Akihito up. "Done."

Akihito snorted and looked away from Austin. "Akihito." Rakuna growled. Akihito growled in response but gave in as Rakuna glared at him. "... ...T-thank you." He forced out.

Akihito scrunched his nose up and looked the other way. "... ...Why?"
Rakuna looked up. "Why what?"

Akihito nodded.
Rakuna snorted this time. "Why wouldn't we? Ah, wait, that's right." He thought on it, but then gave up. "Look, I'm not as clever as you, but you're my cousin which makes you part of my family. I may not care for my father and his business, but you're special. Out of all the people who had the ability to help me become an investigator, you was the only one. Now, whether you was influenced by emotion way back then, doesn't matter. You helped me when no one else did. You lied for me, numerous times." He looked up at Akihito. "I can't be the person you want to me, but I want to be someone you can rely on despite all this."
