Yao hung up the phone. A wicked grin was plastered to his face. Things were going to get pretty interesting. It didn't matter if Roderich took him up on his offer or not. Yao was in control of the situation. And he was pleased beyond pleased.

He got up from the cushion seat. He walked down the hallway. He slid the door sliding door open. Yao stood in the doorway watching the five people who were in the room. Jia Long was silently watching the shogi game. One of the shogi players was calm and composed. The other player was loud and vocal. He clearly had no clue how to play game. Two girls sat off to the side braiding each other's hair. It was a peaceful scene even with the obnoxious one.

"Kiku," Yao called to one of the shogi players. Kiku turned his head to Yao. "I have an errand for you."

"Hai," Kiku turned back to the male who sat across the table. He bowed his head to him. Kiku stood up and followed Yao to another room so they could talk privately.

"Kiku, I need you to keep an eye on someone for me."
