Katsuko sputtered at him. “Did you seriously—did you just say that? Oh man, where do I even start. It’s like you’ve laid all the kinky sex jokes at my feet. All of them. I don’t even know, there’re so many choices.”

Kakashi chuckled. "I had to wear a collar for a mission, once, with Ryouma. This stupid seduction thing..."

It felt like she’d been slapped over the head with a fish. A gay fish. “What?” Katsuko demanded. Indignation, amusement, and glee pitched her voice several levels higher than normal. “Why does no one tell me these things? Was Ryouma wearing a collar too? Did you guys get naked?”

"No collar, but the Quartermaster put him in painted-on jeans and this shirt." Kakashi made a vague hand gesture that Katsuko could only take to mean it was really fucking sexy. "Black and torn, like he'd tangled with a tiger, riding high. He got this fake wolf tattoo, too, and an ear cuff. And this long leather coat." A growl rumbled deep in his chest, pleased and possessive and velvety. "He turned so many heads."

This was like her birthday times three. Katsuko stared at Kakashi in delight. “He definitely turned yours, from the sound of it.” She could imagine it now, Ryouma hooking two long fingers through the collar buckled around Kakashi’s throat. “Did you guys dance?”

"Danced, kissed, killed." Kakashi dragged a hand through his hair, tone turning rueful. "Got myself drugged stupid, but Ryouma handled everything."

“Drugged?” Katsuko jerked upright, feeling like someone had dumped ice water over her head. If they’d went to a club for the mission...

She gripped Kakashi’s wrist. “The people who did that to you,” she said, slowly. “You killed them, right?”

He blinked at her, startled. "Ryouma rotted them all to sludge, far as I remember." He glanced down at her hand on his wrist, then back up at her. "Thought I was supposed to be looking out for you?"

Katsuko sighed and uncurled her fingers from around his wrist, slouching back down to resettle her head on his thigh. “Silly man. It goes both ways.” With a burst of venom she added, “And I’m glad those fuckers died. Hope they suffered.”
