Lord Iruka was still out on his police business and expected to be for quite some time still. His trusted Sharman Kei had been left in charge of the care of the Hanyo whilst said lord was preoccupied. With an exaggerated eye role and a very long sigh, he dismissed the Hanyo's guard preferring the written report over the dull monotone of the gruff man. Scanning his eyes over the barely legible scrawls, a feral grin took over his rather youthful and delicate features. Speaking out loud to himself, the Kitsune marveled at his good luck.
"ha, Lord Iruka will be happy, yes indeed. This is the one, it is such a fine specimen too, It has the looks master wants and can also carry a child..." he nodded his head and jumped for joy. "hmm, hmm, I will go visit this Hanae now and tell it the good news, it will be honored." With his speech to no one in particular except himself over with, he shoved the paper into a draw and hastened out the door. He deftly navigated the labyrinth of matching corridors until he stood before the very door currently housing Ashiya Hanae and Abeno Haruitsuki.
Schooling his face, Kei pushed past the guards and entered the room. On the bed sat two preoccupied teenage boys, one of which had blue/black hair and the other as yellow as the sun. After quickly eyeing them both to see that they were chained and currently busily eating, he frowned slightly and cleared his throat.
"Ahem, good I have your attention."He plastered on a smile once again as he startled the boys to attention.
"I thought I would just let you know that you are now ready, when Lord Iruka is back you will be summoned to his chambers and there you will stay in luxury for the rest of your life. Isn't that wonderful oh dark haired one. It is a privilege to birth a new lineage to the very god of the forest."
Hanae lost all mirth and the color instantly ran from his face. "No please, no. Anything but that, no!" Hanae pleaded. He turned to Abeno, tears in his face. The Kitsune took that as his cue to leave, with a bounce to his step he wordlessly exited the room and hummed as he almost skipped down the corridor, leaving the door to slam shut.
Abeno was shocked to say the least, as he held a crying and vulnerable Hanae in his arms his whole world came crashing down. Horrible thoughts went through his head, rocking Hanae side to side he started to formulate a plan.
"Shh, Hanae, its going to be alright I promise. I will get us out of this mess just you wait." It was then that Abeno noticed Hanae had gone quiet. Pulling back slightly he gazed at Hanaes sodden face. With a peculiar look of determination on his face Hanae Leaned into Abeno, lips almost touching. He then moved slightly to the left, then Hesitating a moment, breathing in short gasps into Abenos ear. Two whispered words escaped, a plea. And Abenos plan had now fallen into place.
