[Being a part of a yakuza family meant that sometimes people would attempt to get at them through you. Unfortunately, someone attempted to strike at the Sonozaki family using Shion.
However, Asemu happened to be there at the time, as the two were spending some time together when the hitman showed up. They were fortunate in that he only had a derringer -- just a single bullet. He fired, but Asemu leaped in the way and took the bullet to the gut. Luckily, someone heard the shot, and it didn't take long before the hitman was subdued by locals so that the police could come and arrest him.
Asemu, meanwhile, had been taken via ambulance to the hospital, and at some point passed out. When he comes to, he's in a bed with white linen sheets and an IV connected to his wrist. He shuffles around, and notices that his abdominal region is wrapped in bandages. Most importantly, though, is the girl sitting by his bed, though he doesn't register her presence immediately. He's clearly awake, though.]
