Prompt 65) Hyou Riou Jr
+ Reishin; RE: Kouyuu : Confrontation; Uncovering a lost past

"Were you never curious?"
Reishin did not even deign to notice the child standing before his table in the deserted office. Riou did really know better than to try and get a response when even the Minister of Finance failed, but he still couldn't stay away.
"Weren't you ever curious about Li dono's origins?" He repeated persistently.
It was only then that Reishin sama turned at last to lay a lazy glare at his visitor. Riou almost took a step back from the unexpected heat of fury and uncompromising accusation behind the cold eyes.
Riou knew than that Reishin sama was more aware of Kouyuu's past than anyone would have guessed. Perhaps he knew even more than was revealed to Riou himself.
Whatever the case, Riou could also see in Reishin sama's look a warning as well. One which he knew he'd obey without question even though he was eaten up with curiosity to know how Kou-Ani would react to be told he had a younger brother. The Head of the Kou Clan promised a fate worse than death in his gaze. And Riou was far too young and lacking in confidence to dare challenge him.
