[Musashi’s Safehouse]

“Stop fighting!” Musashi pleaded with the two sisters as he stepped out of the car, and headed towards the complex. He quickly unlocked the door and ushered the two into an elevator that would take them up to the safehouse.

As they arrived, he threw the door opened and hurried the two inside. He shut the door after them and then turned to look at them.

“If you want something to eat or drink, we have a few provisions…”

He approached a cabinet and opened it, then he turned back to them.

“You don’t need to worry about Aaron. I doubt your mother would hurt her, and even if something went crazy, Nanami is around. You might not know it, but she’s pretty capable.”

"...they wanted secrecy and loyalty. I was given permission to recruit aid as I saw fit, but they wanted to start with...well, there were a number of reasons I was picked, so I'm told." Didymus replied.

"As for bringing a woman along...Miss Basil here is a part of this team, you know...and she's already come in handy."

Thomas nods. "Alright. One last thing. Do you have pictures of him? Any ideas on where he could be? If I can get some leads, it would be appreciated. Are you aware of anyone else with him?"

He stands up, putting on his hat. He picks up his notebook, recording notes as she speaks.

Littlelip

Violet was eerily quiet, blushing a bit at Didymus's compliment. She was somewhat shy, even as a young adult. She envied Jenny slightly..a beautiful woman, even though she was older. She sighs...slightly, wondering if, personally, she'd ever have a hand to hold.

“Well, we have a fine team assembled.” Snake said. He had a feeling it was the truth, though they were still no closer to learning much about the Sakura Team or their relation to their former commander.

“… I have an idea. Sunrise might not want to cooperate with us, but I’m sure as soon as she leaves, she’ll go looking for Musashi. If we followed her, listened in on their conversation… it could garner some valuable intel.”

[Spade’s Office]

“Unfortunately, I do not have a picture – however I can give you a lead.” Cherion said matter-of-factly. “He’s likely gone to the Littlelip Theater. It is where we worked.”

Musashi’s Safehouse

Both Adrianna and Laila went quiet for a minute...Laila finally looked back over to Musashi

"We haven't seen her in ages...We don't know what she would do" she explained with a frown.

Suddenly Adrianna stomped past them, heading to the room. "I'm going to bed" she said, slamming the door behind her.

"She's going to sulk" Laila noted, falling back on the couch. "Sorry....We tend to fight a lot."

[Musashi’s Safehouse]

Musashi let out another sigh. What had started as a pleasant evening had turned very badly. Maybe it was flirting with the sisters, maybe it was the fact their mom was a nazi… but things really had soured.

"Sorry....We tend to fight a lot."

“Yeah…” Musashi had noticed, but decided not to be rude about it. He rubbed his neck. “I’m sure she’s just worried… but please trust me. I’m sure Nanami wouldn’t let Aaron get hurt.”

He had confidence in that… but he also worried a bit. If Nanami thought abandoning him to danger was the only way she could protect Musashi…

He shook his head. “I’m sorry, Laila. This whole thing is my fault. Your mother is after me, for some reason, and now your brother’s been dragged into it. I…”

He trailed off, unsure what to say.

"It's not your fault" Laila said, looking over to the boy. "I guess, I shouldn't have stormed off and stumbled upon my mom the nazi lover."

The girl gave a small laugh, running her hand through her messy black hair.

"Well at least now we know people are after you....You'll have to be careful...I know she might just seem like a mom, but our mother is no joke."

Laila stared out of the window for a moment. "Maybe i'll stay up, wait for those two to get in."

Musashi shook his head, and took a step closer to her, placing his hand gently on her shoulder and offering a slight smile.

“No. You helped me out big time… I had no idea the Germans were onto my presence here. You might have saved my life, Laila. I owe you big time.”

He sighed a bit. “I just wish it didn’t involve this revelation about your mother…”

Musashi’s Safehouse

Laila smiled looking down at her lap for a moment. “It was nothing really, anyways I’m pretty sure we’re even now. “You did help me before at that club. If not for you I’d probably still be hanging out with some old creeper right now.”

The girl gave a little laugh, looking back up. For a moment she was quiet before suddenly standing up and giving a little cough. “Maybe I should make some tea or something, could be awhile until Aaron and Nanami get back”

Musashi thought back to the club. It seemed like creepers and crazy club fights seemed small in comparison to Nazis. He paused for a moment. Despite the laugh Laila just gave, the situation was still grim, and he still found himself not entwined in the lives of this family.

“Maybe I should make some tea or something, could be awhile until Aaron and Nanami get back”


Musashi suddenly felt like a bad host! He jumped up and headed over to the tiny kitchen area of the apartment and started filling a pan with water.

“I’ll make it! What kind do you like?”

"Where my dad and I are from we drink sweet tea, it's probably WAY different than anything you've had in Japan" Laila joked, following the boy into the small kitchen. "But this is New York, not quite a hotspot for Southern specialties...Green tea will be fine"

The girl took a seat on a stool, watching to boy. "So, what's it like to be royalty?" she asked, swinging her legs idly. "I mean, do you have to make the tea yourself over there?"

That was meant to be a joke...But he probably didn't.

“Oh, sweet tea is great!” Musashi grinned as he went through the cabinet to check and see what they had. “We don’t have it in Japan, but Gemini used to make it.”

Musashi had been very surprised the first time Gemini had declared she was making tea… and then given him a large glass full of ice and sugar. It was just one of many American things he had gotten hooked on while living in New York.

Then, suddenly, she asked him a very unusual question – but one he supposed he should have expected.

“Well… when I was a kid, it was pretty boring. I was never allowed to go and play with the other children, and I really wasn’t able to do anything for myself. It’s part of why I joined the Navy… I wanted to do something other than just sit around in the palace.”

He found a box of tea in the very back of the cabinet and pulled it out as he continued his thoughts.

“When I turned fourteen, I got tired of it… so I did something none of my siblings would have ever DREAMED of. It’s tradition for the Imperial family to serve in the military, but usually it’s a ceremonial thing. I have a brother in the Army. He’s essentially the equivalent of what you’d think of as a Colonel. He’s never done a day’s work in his life. The extent of his ‘service’ is an occasional speech to the real soldiers.”

He tapped his foot as he waited for the water to boil.

“I wanted to do something real. So, I ordered the Navy not to give me any special treatment. They… didn’t listen. Then I was assigned to the Sakura Team… that was maybe the greatest time of my life. I was in America, with a bunch of girls who not only did they not treat me like I was royalty, they basically treated me like dirt.”

Musashi was smiling at the memories.

"You have a pretty interesting point of view" Laila laughed "Most people would sell their soul to be as rich as you...But it's pretty cool that you're so laid back about it all, and that you want to be like us normal folk"

She then began to look around the kitchen for cups. "Of course there's a difference between just being rich and being royalty, I don't think I could take all that pressure"

Musashi leaned against the countertop as he waited for the water. He supposed Laila had a point…

“I don’t mind the pressure, as much. I had a lot of pressure in the Sakura Team… life-threatening danger, fighting things that, frankly, were pretty terrifying. But… I don’t know. It’s different. In my culture, they expect the Emperor to be more than just a man… to have all the answers. I don’t think that could ever be me.”

The water started to boil, so Musashi went to work brewing the tea. After a moment, he poured some into a cup and handed it to her.

“What about you, Laila? I mean… if this is too personal of a question, you can just ignore me, but… it seems like your family is complicated.”

That’s putting it VERY mild.

Laila accepted the tea, ringing it up to her lips and blowing on it.

"My mother's the complicated one" she said, looking back up at the boy. "My mom....Well she's been around I guess, that's probably the nicest way to put it. "We have two other siblings, though they're much older than us and have their own families now. My mom met my dad when she was younger, but they they lost touch of something. By the time she met back up with him she had two kids and was involved with Adrianna and Aaron's dad. They she reconnected with my dad and poof! Now i'm here!"

Laila gave a small laugh, sipping her tea. "After that she pretty much dumped us with our dads and ran off. We don't see her much...Though Adrianna takes it much harder than Aaron and I, I think she takes it personally"
