[Takes place directly after One Step]

Even deep inside the Hokage's palace, midnight brought a kind of atmosphere with it. Shadows lengthened, silences deepened; even the empty hallways looked menacing, as if a hundred assassins' footprints had bled a watermark through the carpet weave.

And that didn't begin to cover the candles.

Brand new sword strapped across his shoulders, Asuma stood in the doorway to the main upstairs office, flanked by two stiff-backed chuunin, and studied the face of the future.

( It had liverspots. )

Night had fallen quick, bitter and icy throughout Konoha, once again reinforcing Haruichi's belief that venturing outside was the business of fools and heroes - and he was emphatically neither of those. Nevertheless, outside he was - skirting rooftops and chimney vents fast as he could move, and if he was less than thrilled about it he was smart enough to hide the fact.

After all, if your Kage called you to an out of hours meeting late at night you were definitely about to be pitted against more than gales, snow and patches of black ice… and in Konoha since you weren't the slave of some insane despot or patently homicidal lunatic warmonger you were expected to look cheerful about it.

( Haruichi was settling for looking a little less like he'd just crankily dragged himself out of the wrong side of the bed, and to hell with anybody who didn't think that was a colossal enough effort - even if it was the Hokage himself. )
