[Musashi’s Safehouse]

"Did she love him?" she asked, not really thinking about it "Are marriages arranged over there?"

Musashi paused at the surprising question that Laila just asked. He rubbed his neck, and let out a small sigh. Then he quickly checked to make sure that Nanami had not yet returned.

“It was arranged… but they were friends. I don’t know if she loved him… I doubt it… but it still couldn’t have been easy for her to do what she did. I mean… we’re pretty much traitors now… oh my God, I’m a traitor now…”

Musashi was freaking out again.

[Crystal’s Apartment]

Sama gave a genuine smile and laced his fingers around her’s.

“I’m really glad to hear you say that because I feel the same way about you.”

He paused.

“I mean the falling for you, part! Not the strange part.”

I can't see what you're imagining
-Hawkins' House-

Erin paused, looking up, then shrieked, jumping to the side.

She held up her hand, sending a burst of wind at the ball of shadows!

...Because she was hoping to blow away the darkness...?

-Hotel Bar-

“Nothing I ever do is really business,” Samuel said, “Business implies that I need things.”

He poured them both a glass of wine, holding his up to Kanna.

“When you lived as long as I have, you do things because you're bored, you do things because you want to, and you don't see why not. It doesn't really matter, in the larger scheme of things,” Samuel said.

Kind of depressing for small talk, but I think that's the kind of small talk Kanna enjoys.

“I like you. I really like you,” he then added, sipping his wine, “I would love to spend a lot more time with you.”

He paused, looking straight at Kanna now.

“I'm not going to do anything you don't want. We can go up to your hotel room right now. Or we can keep talking here. If you want, I'll stand up, and walk away, and you'll never have to see me again,” Samuel added, “It's up to you.”

Hawkins' House

The wind went right through the blob of darkness, considering it wasn't a solid being, and tipped over a shelf of china. Once again Melanie jumped, but this time because the being seemed to be coming back at her. Melanie's hands instantly came up and she attempted to block the shadows with her own powers of darkness.

"What the heck is happening?!" Melanie yelled,giving a yelp as she was thrown back again. This time she was thrown into the couch, the shadows flying over her face and coming down onto her throat. The young woman gave a yelp and a gasp, trying to force whatever was trying to kill her away.

"L-Lights...Turn...All of...Them" She managed in a series of pained gasps.

Hotel Bar

"I would love to eventually take a tour of your hotel room, but unfortunately I have another meeting to attend to tonight and it would be terrible rude to leave him without a proper escort for the later part of the evening."

Kanna took a sip of the wine, grinning at the man "Though I do very much enjoy speaking with you. You are very good with your words you know, it's refreshing to speak to someone on the same social level...I'm used to speaking with lowlifes and uppercrust creeps that I end up...Cutting ties with."

Also known as killing.

Musashi’s Safehouse

So maybe bringing this up wasn't the smartest idea. Laila jumped up from her seat, rushing over to the boy and clapping her hands down on his shoulders once more.

"Wooooaaah, calm down" Laila told him "Don't freak out, we'll think of something. Anyways being a traitor can't be that bad, I mean America was pretty much built by traitors wasn't it?"

The girl meant for that to be a joke but doubted Musashi would laugh at it.

Crystal’s Apartment

Crystal laughed, kissing his cheek "Don't worry, I know what you meant" she told him with a little laugh. "I'm falling for you too"

[Musashi’s Safehouse]

Musashi was still freaking out. He looked to Laila, but he was a mess. The boy was starting to realize just how deep he had dug himself into things.

“I… maybe… but…”

Musashi took another deep breath and slowly started to calm down. “Well… I-I don’t know what to do, but… I came here for a reason… so I’ll just have to move forward and hope I can fix this somehow…”

[Crystal’s Apartment]

Sama gave a grin. “That’s great! Now we just have to catch a terrorist and clear my name and life would be completely awesome!”

That was a joke… sorta.

Outside Restaurant

"You probably should have had their dessert, then..." Train said to essentially himself, as Musashi and Laila had driven away. "It was definitely good stuff."

Train then continued his casual walk away from the restaurant, soon finding himself at the scene where Kojirou had been attacked by Nanami.

"Ooooh, Table Boy must have been talking about that," he whistled in amazement at the blood on the ground. "Wonder if it was him or Manners Girl who did that..."

He didn't seem all that concerned, as with that nurse lady there, as well as someone who was definitely a military guy*... Things were likely under control.

Plus, he had to meet up with Marco, and tell him about the awesome dinner he missed out on.

*((DP has no idea if he's in uniform or not, but Train could tell from Didymus's demeanor, even if he wasn't in a uniform; he was once quite an incredibly skilled assassin, and still has those skills and knowledge, even if he's now not trying to kill anyone anymore, and instead just trying to catch them))

[Outside Restaurant]

As Kojiro waited for Didymus or Jenny to ask the one question he had promised to answer in exchange for treating his injuries, Nanami suddenly stepped forward.

She had not gone at all. She had been hiding in the shadows, like a good ninja always should, watching and waiting for Musashi to make his escape with Laila. Now that she was satisfied the Prince was out of danger, she walked over towards Kojiro, walking past Train.

“… Nanami…” Kojiro growled.

“Stay away from the Prince. Next time, I will kill you.” Nanami said simply, in a monotone that seemed less cold than usual.

“I will do as I must. My brother is a traitor… and so are you. You could have had everything.” Kojiro frowned.

“… I’ve said what I have to say.” Nanami replied coolly.

-Hawkins' House-

“Right!” Erin nodded, running around the house, turning on as many lights as possible.

Outside the house, the taxi cab stopped.

“Joyce...Joyce, you're home,” Sage said, trying to wake up Joyce gently.

Blake's eyes suddenly widened, and he jumped out of the cab, running to the house.

“...I wonder what got into him...” Sage frowned.

-Hotel Bar-

“Of course,” Samuel said, “Then perhaps tomorrow would be a better time. But for right now, we just talk.”

He sipped his wine again, looking over Kanna.

“I don't presume to think you'd want to tell me about your past, or what exactly it is that you do. If you want to, I will listen, but I won't demand to hear,” Samuel said, “But if you want me to answer any questions, feel free to ask.”

-Outside Restaurant-

Jenny looked towards Nanami and Kojiro, frowning.

“Please don't aggravate the wound, it could become worse,” Jenny spoke up.

Musashi’s Safehouse

"And until then you just need to relax a bit" Laila told him, sitting next to him and taking his hand. "My brother and sister were always in these classes...Wit some old guy who talked about breathing and control and all that mumbo jumbo. I hear the breathing thing works pretty well though."

She smiled at the boy, turning to him "Close your eyes and start taking deep breaths

Hawkins' House

Joyce gave a little yawn, opening her eyes just in time to see Blake rush out of the cab and rush into the house...Perhaps he was excited to see their mom?

"Okay...I'm awake" she mumbled, stepping out carefully and heading into the house as well.

[...]

Melanie was a bit distracted at the shadows which were trying to KILL her...But she did notice when he son rushed in.

"B-B-Blake!" Melanie exclaimed, choking

Hotel Bar

"I'm a bar singer" she said simply with a sip of her wine "I'm much too old to do much more than that, though every now and then I find time to...Spend time with important men. It's a perk or living in hotels....As for the other things you've seen me do...Just think of that as volunteer work"

She then looked to him "And what do you do?"

Crystal’s Apartment

Crystal giggled "Oh shush and just kiss me you goof"


[....]

Meanwhile a teenage boy was rushing down the sidewalk...He looked a bit out place in this big city...He wasn't even sure if he was going the right way. Crystal's apartment was supposed to be this way though....

"Ugh....I may be lost" the boy muttered, pushing his glasses up on the brim of his nose.

“You mean Old Man Sensei? Yeah… I know him too… I trained with him myself, a while ago…” Musashi admitted. He remembered back to his lessons and sat down, closing his eyes and trying to breathe.

After a few minutes, he had calmed down considerably. He finally opened his eyes and looked to Laila with a very small, still sad smile on his face.

“I… thanks. I feel better… kinda…” He sighed. “I’ll figure something out… I mean… there has to be something I can do…”

[Outside Japanese Restaurant]

“His wounds will be much worse if he doesn’t go home.” Nanami said, matter-of-factly. “Koji… I do not want to kill you; but I will if it comes to that.”

Kojiro said nothing. He merely scowled at her. “Fool! You aide a traitor… what would your father say about this?”

Nanami’s father was the Emperor’s personal body guard, advisor and friend. He was also a staunch supporter of Japan’s alliance with Germany. She knew he must be infuriated that she was here.

[Crystal’s Apartment]

Sama grinned. “I think I can do that…”

So he did kiss her.

Violet blushes a bit, feeling embarrassed. But she pressed on. "Do you know if any of your coworkers held any of these attractions?" She asks, picking her words with the utmost care.

Considering the shift in tension, and the mood, after the appearance (or reappearance) of Nanami, apparently it wasn't Table Boy or Manners Girl who was the attacker here, but instead this new girl.

Though to Train, it didn't really concern him on who it was that did that or not, so he just continued onward, walking down the sidewalk away from the restaurant. At least he did so until one of the cars driving by pulled to the curb on the other side of the street, and parked.

"Oh, hey Marco!" Train then began, as a young man in a white suit, hat, and briefcase, crawled out from his car, "You should have been here for dinner, it was amazing!"

For added emphasis, Train rubbed his stomach as he spoke, though Marco wasn't paying much attention, considering the reason he got out was not to greet Train (he could have just stayed in the car for that)... Instead, it was the scene of a stabbed Japanese guy, with a very familiar young Japanese lady nearby, that interested Marco.

"Oh, it looks like some assassin lady tried to stab somebody over there! The soldier guy there looks like he's taking control, though!" Train then informed Marco, finally noticing where Marco's attention had went to.

"Hmmm... Fancy meeting you again, detective!" Marco shouted out, as he crossed the street (like a horrible jaywalker), and approached the others.

Nanami froze as she heard a familiar voice. She had not focused on who was getting out of the car (though she HAD noticed a car), but when she heard Marco’s voice she sighed.

He was the photographer from the earlier crime scene… she had lied to him and used a fake badge, and now she was caught in the act. Impersonating a police officer was a crime, which meant that the young man from the army now had a reason to arrest or question her.

“… I am not an assassin lady.” She said to Train, without looking at him. “I am a ninja and bodyguard. I was doing my duty, and it is of no business of your’s. This is Japan’s affair.”

She frowned, but kept her eyes on Kojiro. He still might try to attack.

“… Friends of your’s? I expect Musashi to make nice with the locals, but I didn’t expect that from you.” Kojiro seemed more surprised Nanami had “friends” in America than he did that she had stabbed him.

Musashi’s Safehouse

"I know it may not mean much....But i'm here for you..If you need the help" Laila said sweetly, moving forward and kissing him carefully. Less than a second later she moved back. "Of course, as much as it annoys me Adrianna would probably be willing to help too...That and Aaron. All of us. We may not look like much but we're all pretty tough"

[Musashi’s Safehouse]

Musashi perked up a bit as Laila kissed him. His mind was still reeling from all that had happened, and there was a nagging uncertainty festering in his brain – but Musashi found it impossible to worry when a cute girl was kissing him.

… Hey, this is the third RP Musashi’s appeared in, are you reeeeeeeeally surprised by this point?

“Thank you.” He said simply, smiling to Adrianna. “I appreciate that you’re all here to help… but really, this could be dangerous. If my father is sending people to kill me… if he’s willing to kill his own son, he’d be willing to kill you guys too, and I’d feel terrible if you or Adrianna or Aaron were hurt because of me…”

Um, Musashi… they’re Kanna’s kids. I’m pretty sure they’ve been in danger before.

Didymus raised an eyebrow at the whole situation. He ultimately had little reason to trust that any question he asked this Japanese heir would be answered truthfully, even IF they had just given him medical attention.

But there was apparently a story unfolding here that might be worth noting for intel purposes...so he simply kept silent, letting events unfold...

Diana paused for a moment...

"Um...I can't say. We all really liked him a lot...I'm pretty sure...we probably all felt something for him at some time or another..." she said.
