Hajime answered. “We do. They’re expecting this delivery but they don’t know what the Grass Country Grain Council representatives looks like. The actual merchants, it turns out, had an unfortunate accident on the road already.” He flashed a slightly sinister grin. “So we go in with their traveling papers. We deliver the documents about next year’s grain prices, and then Lord Kiyama invites us to relax and offers us his hospitality and rooms.”
Genma nodded. “And then Hajime get a sick headache and retires to his chamber, and I go wandering and catch Tsuda’s eye.” He rolled his shoulders and cracked his spine, slipping into a travel-worn civilian’s posture, easy and unguarded, with all his energy coiling in his pelvis. A sexy, desirable, eminently fuckable young man from Grass who just might like to give a Wind-country ninja a try.
“I re-emerge for supper with his Lordship," said Hajime. "Gen joins us of course, and flirts with Tsuda, who will be at the table as well. And then I retire early. Gen makes a date with Tsuda for after Lord Kiyama’s bedtime, and I find you and give you the signal. There’s a drainpipe here...” He traced a finger along a blue line at the back of the castle grounds. “It has an outlet under an overhang where you should be able to hide until it’s time.”
“And then I fuck Tsuda’s brains out,” Genma continued. “You dye Lord Fancypants’ bedsheets red, Hajime gives me the high sign when you’re out and away, and we book it before Tsuda figures out his client is dead.”
“But first we set up a checkpoint,” Hajime said, frowning at his map again. “Somewhere we can stash our gear and call a rendezvous in case we get split up.”
“Drainpipes, yay,” Katsuko observed, sounding less than completely thrilled. Her eyes betrayed an eagerness that her voice didn’t though.
Genma could feel her watching him, feel her taking in the way he moved, the way his clothes sat on his body.
“You’re a rookie, right?” Genma asked. He shoved his mask off and flashed her a grin. “You ever run a mission with an eros detail before?” |
