[Musashi’s Safehouse]

Musashi listened to Laila tell the story and he was amazed. It was… rather shocking to hear. Though in a strange way, he could relate to the girl.

“I have a lot of half-siblings too.” Musashi mentioned, sipping his tea. It warmed his stomach, and he was grateful she had suggested it. There had been so much going on, he hadn’t eaten or drink much in the last few hours.

“My dad… well, he’s Emperor so he’s allowed to take as many wives as he wants, plus… err, concubines.” Musashi mentioned, a bit embarrassed by it. He realized his own family would be considered very strange by American standards.

“I have a lot of siblings. Some I get along with, a few I don’t. I never really thought it was all that weird until I really got out there in the world.”

He sipped his tea once more, and then thought about Laila’s words about Adrianna.

“I can understand what she’s feeling… but you can’t blame a kid for what their parent does.”

Like when your dad is insane and helps start World War II. Okay, so that one was worse than just being a floozy.

Musashi’s Safehouse

Laila listened to to the boy, a bit amazed. Admittedly she had never paid much attention in school so the idea of a guy having a bunch of wives-at the same time- was strange.

"Wow...That must have been awkward" Laila said, taking another sip of her drink. "Despite all the expectations...And that...Is your father nice?" she then asked.

Musashi paused, shaken to the core at Laila’s latest question. Was his father nice? It seemed like such an easy question… either someone was nice or they weren’t… but things were much more complicated in this case.

“My father is… a complex man. In my culture, he’s revered as a deity. He’s in charge of the state and the military, and his word is absolute… it’s not like in your country, where people pick leaders, and they all only have a little power. My dad’s control is absolute…”

Musashi sighed. “Just to talk to him, I have to make appointments… but really… my father thinks it is his right to rule over not just Japan, but everywhere else. He says he rules the sunrise, he should rule the sunset too. But… I think the reality is we spent so long isolated from the rest of the world, he just wants to show he’s tough.”

Musashi leaned back against the cabinet, his eyes closed. “He used to be such a great leader… he was inspirational… but in the last few years, everything has changed… and now I’m worried his ambition has him blind to reality…”

Suddenly, Musashi paused and let out a nervous laugh. “Geez, listen to me! I’m being all gloomy… we should talk about something happier.”

Musashi’s Safehouse

The information about Musashi's father was a little disturbing...Most people in America didn't know much about Japan...Perhaps that was a mistake on the US' part.

But tonight wasn't the time to think about that...Perhaps she was being naive, but she'd rather think of much happier things.

"You're right" she said, bringing the cup back to her lips "So now that you found one of your friends how long do you think you'll be staying in the big apple?"

Musashi paused at the new question. It was a happier question than talking about his father… but it was a question without an answer.

“I honestly have no idea.” Musashi admitted with a small smile, rubbing the back of his neck. “I still need to find the rest of my friends… and I need to talk to your government if I can.”

"Well I guess that means you'll be sticking around for awhile?" Laila asked, with a little grin "I mean finding all of your team could take ages after all! And the government, we'll you might as well be moving backwards with them!"

Laila was really keen on the idea of Musashi sticking around.

Musashi caught her grin, and he flashed one of his own. He sat his tea down on the counter, and then took a couple of steps closer to Laila.

“Most likely I’ll be here for a while…” He admitted, his slight grin growing. “And while I’d hate to get anyone else caught up in anything dangerous, if I have some free time, I’d like to spend it with you.”

Because preventing war is not as exciting as hitting on Laila.

"I would really like that" Laila said, placing her cup back down and looking to the boy. She knew it wasn't going to help her situation with Adrianna....But she didn't really care at the moment. "We should go out somewhere....To Central Park or something"

She looked up at the boy, a small grin on her lips.

Musashi blinked. Had he heard right? Was Laila proposing they sneak out on their own… again?

“Central Park, huh…?” Musashi smirked, rubbing his chin. “Well, I do really like it there… but when Nanami and Aaron get back… your brother will kill me, and my bodyguard will kill you.”

He sighed, shaking his head. “… Aw, what the hell? Could be fun.”

Yup. It’s that easy to convince Musashi to do stuff.

"Maybe" Laila said, tapping her chin for a moment "Then I guess we're just going to have to be quick about it then....Or just really sneaky. Either way i'm willing to take the risk."

Laila moved in, stepping on her tip toes and kissing the boy quickly before turning around and pouring another cup of tea.

"Could you bring this to my sister? She'd probably like some"

Musashi grinned. He actually did like taking risks… it was part of the reason he had trekked across the world, sneaking through nazi territory and stowing away on several ships.

Then, she handed him a cup of tea. He nodded. “Sure. I’ll take it to her. Why don’t you get ready for the stroll in the park?”

He grinned, and then headed to the door, knocking on it softly. “Adrianna? I thought you’d like some tea.”

Musashi’s Safehouse

Laila smiled and nodded, watching the boy leave the kitchen with the tea.

When a knock came to Adrianna's door, the girl slowly appeared her cheeks a bit red and wet. She didn't look directly at the boy, but instead at the tea, but it was obvious that the girl had been crying.

"Thanks" she said simply.

Musashi paused as the door opened and he caught sight of Adrianna. It was immediately evident that she had been crying, and suddenly Musashi felt like the world’s biggest jerk.

Here he was having a pleasant conversation with Laila and making mischievous plans, while Adrianna was worried sick about her brother… and probably the revelation about her mother, as well.

“Adrianna… I’m sure Aaron’s fine. Besides, Nanami is with him, and she wouldn’t let anything happen to him.” Musashi said, trying to comfort her, even though she hadn’t actually vocalized her problems.

I can't see what you're imagining
-Docks-

Aaron frowned, shaking his head.

“I'm old enough to take care of myself,” Aaron told his mother, “So are Adrianna and Lalia...”

He sighed, taking a step towards his mother. He wanted to hug her...

“Something's happening mom...and I want to know what...”

-Hospital-

“Don't worry ma'am, I will!” Sage said, nodding to Melanie, then hurrying off.



Blake was not bothered by the shadows, as his came around and wrapped around Samara's arm.

“We can! But it's dark out right now...mommy and daddy said I shouldn't go outside when it's dark...” Blake said.

-Lily's Office-

“So then...” Lily said, walking over to Ryan, smirking and taking a seat next to the man, sipping her drink.

“I need you to take control of my company,” Lily answered, “The board of directors is starting to get uppity. They're a bunch of new blood, who didn't know my dad.”

She sighed softly, annoyed.

“I'll still be around. I'll be on as a sort of...consulting form,” Lily answered, “So you'll still be seeing a lot of me...”

-Littlelip Theater-

“Hello there,” Jenny said to Violet, smiling at the younger woman, holding hand out. “It's nice to meet you.”

[Littlelip Theater]

Snake paused. A lot was on his mind right now. He hadn’t meant to be a part of this team, but now he was. It was just a simple investigation, gathering intelligence from the former Sakura Team…

Yet, it had gotten more complicated than that. The Japanese officer they wanted information about was here in New York, illegally – and he was a Prince. The new complications raised a lot of questions.

And Snake’s mind went back to the bar where he had met Didymus and Violet. Several high-ranked military officially had been gunned down by an unknown shooter… and he had heard of a bombing at a lounge earlier in the day.

There was entirely too much happening today for it all to be coincidence.

“Didymus. I don’t know if anyone else is coming, but we can probably get a list of addresses for the Sakura Team from the Littlelip’s owner. I suggest we double our efforts to find them.”

[Docks]

Nanami had crawled out of the water, and had taken shelter in one of the warehouses. She was on the upper floor, peering out a window and watching Aaron and Kanna.

She frowned, as she began to address the wounds on her legs. That crazy woman was a lot tougher than she expected a mother of five to be.
