Sold to the Enemy

by Kyrieoftheotaku

Ainsley is a detective who has her sights set on Tres Spades Hotel and Casino and what secrets it holds, especially its connection to Soryu Oh and the Ice Dragons. Hanh is just her writer friend who happened to be dragged into the mess because of a simple writer's block, and thought it was a simple trip to Japan. Now they both have been sold at an auction to some rich guys.

1. Prologue

"Alright, I got the maid disguises here. I am not going to ask, and I am going to forget this ever happened," I said to my friend Ainsley.

My friend Ainsley had asked me to get some maid outfits that match the ones used at the Tres Spade Hotel and Casino. Normally, this is a weird request, but she was insistent, and to quote, "I have an eye for these things."

I rolled my eyes and turned away to leave Ainsley's house, but she pulled me back.

"Hanh, these are perfect."

"Are you sure they are perfect, because apparently you don't have an eye for these things."

"I am choosing to ignore that sass, because I have one small, small favor," Ainsley goes as her mouth widens into a smile.
"We are going undercover at that hotel and casino," she said while giving me jazz hands.

"That sounds horrible. Why do you think I just have casual time to kill, by maybe breaking the law?"

"First of all, you will not be breaking the law, because you'll be working under me. And second-"

"Let me stop you there. That already sounds horrible."

Ainsley shushes me before covering my mouth with her hands.

"I am just a fantastic friend who is trying to help you. Didn't you say that you were in a writer's block with your new mystery novel? Apparently, the hotel and casino is a prime place for you to do some research about the novel," Ainsley said while bumping shoulders with me.

"You know that sounds like, oh its go commit a murder, but its for research purposes. That's ridiculous."

"You know what's ridiculous, you agreeing with no hesitation when I said come with me to Japan. I didn't have to give you an excuse."

"Well, there's a prime difference."

"And what's that?"

"It's not a crime to go to Japan."

Ainsley rolls her eyes.

"Why do you even need me to go with you?"

".. Because I'm lonely." I looked at her dead in the face.

"I need a reward. Just because I love you, but give me a hell of a good reason, on top of a guaranteed level of immunity."

"Girl, you know I gotchu. How about I cover all you dinner expenses this week while we are here?"

"How about you cover all of them?"

"You know I am not made of money."

"How about I throw in lunch along with the dinner." My eyes squinted, before I slowly stretched out my hand to shake on it. Ainsley's mouth just widens.

"Unless we die of course."
