Sunako's eyes never left these men. Not for an instant that she was awake for the next few weeks. One, the strongest she could see from his build and the way he carried himself. He reminded her of someone very close. "Takano…" she whispered to herself every time that he did something the same way as him. It was devastating heartache that she was feeling watching them. She knew what she had to do and soon she sent for the only woman that could help.
"Visitor!" The guard rumbled out. She stood and bowed respectfully to him. "How was your weekend off?" She asked politely. He smiled and blushed a little, "Very well, thank you for asking." She smiled at him, genuine happiness for him. "The wedding just keeps getting closer and closer doesn't it?" She asked. He smiled more, "Yes….yes it does. I still can't believe this." She giggled. "I'm sure she is a very lucky woman." He nodded. "I'm sorry I can't show you a picture but it's-" "I understand, really. It's regulation and I would be made to think of as a threat after that. It's understandable."
They made it down the long hall and her cuffs were taken off. She smiled and ran into her aunt's arms. "Oh Sunako! It's been five years! How much longer will you endure this injustice?" Her aunt demanded. "I need a favor of you Oba." She whispered to calm her aunt. "Yes! Yes anything!" She almost screamed. "Anything you want honey. What is it?" She smiled. "Get in touch with dad. Let him know about this." Oba blanched. "Sunako…do you have any idea what you're asking? He'll make sure that you get out…but the courts won't be pretty. He'll be ruthless." She whispered. "Are you sure you don't want someone else to argue the case?" She shook her head. "I need to get out. There's something I need to do on the outside."
Oba nodded her head and then turned and left. "I will be back!I promise!" Sunako smiled and watched her waving, then turned back to her guard and held out her hands, "Thank you so much for letting me see her." He blushed, "I-It's my job. Please don't thank me. There's no reason for it." She smiled more up at him, "But there is. You walked with me here. And you talked with me. It helped to ease my nerves. So I thank you again. Thank you for being the one to bring me to see my Aunt."
Once she was back, she was plotting. When night came, it came into effect. She knew how to sneak out, she'd done it dozens of times to get skulls and such for her cell. No one dared go near it unless they had to, like the guards. It gave off the same dark aura as her rooms usually did. She smiled and looked around, no one. Great." She slipped through the opening and ran down the long hall to the men's cells.
She got there and easily slipped through the opening. Even when sleeping they didn't take off the masks. She slowly slid it off his face and held her breath. Everything was the same, the eyes and the hair…and the build. But the face…it was wrong. This was not Takano like she had been thinking it might be. She put the mask back and let the tears fall down her face freely. "I hate that I miss you." She whispered and stood to leave.
Something caught her eye though as she was going to leave. A slip of paper, crumpled and thrown away. She grabbed it and opened it slowly. He began to stir and she slipped out of the cell, with the paper clutched tightly in her hand. Once back in her cell she flopped on the bed and flattened it out and began reading.
