Day 8 [EN] Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot (Mizuki's Room)

[Bayushi Suteichi]

There were questions that needed to be answered and even though Suteichi was happy where he was he needed to understand why, what, and how.

A scratch at Mizuki's door came in the early night. He didn't care if she was asleep.

[Yogo Mizuki]

Zip begins barking. Mizuki wakes up. Expecting someone else, she hastily prepares. When she opens the door, she is rather surprised. "Sutiechi-kun." She draws her kimono tighter. "I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting... you. Please give me a moment."

After dressing up a little more, she answers the door again. "Please come in." She offers him a seat to sit down.

[Bayushi Suteichi]

Suteichi entered and removed his mask. He sat down and looked in disbelief.

"Expecting a lady at the hour of the wolf, Mizuki-chan? I am so sorry to disappoint." he snapped quietly.

[Yogo Mizuki]

Mizuki was silent. She knew if she responded, she would say something she regretted.

[Bayushi Suteichi]

"Pincer have your tongue?! You told me it was a Shinjo man... Not my potential sister. Why?! Why do you do this?!! What have I done to constantly earn this...THIS from you?! You contiue to break me. Is this some sick pleasure of yours?!"

[Yogo Mizuki]

"And what was I supposed to say? I slept with your future sister-in-law? I lied because I didn't want to hurt you further." She looks down. "She knows nothing about you if that helps."

[Bayushi Suteichi]

"So. I was purely something to do then. You my sempai exercising your senority over to get a cheap thrill. Perhaps I should have gotten paid for it like that foolish woman who gave birth to me!"

[Yogo Mizuki]

"No! I meant, I didn't tell her because I didn't want Liu Fei to find out about us. If you wish it, I can tell her tomorrow. I'm sure she would love to find out you were my bed shortly before hers."

Mizuki shakes her head. "I loved you. I still do." Without a hint of hypocrisy, she continues. "Stop living in your past. You can't change who your parents are. Stop dwelling on it."

[Bayushi Suteichi]

Suteichi composed himself.

"That is news I rather not... there is enough going on that I do not need my relationship ruined with her... or you. "

Suteichi walked to her and reached for her but hesitated and drew back.

"I should be with her right now... I came here for answers... I am devoted to Liu Fei. And I..." he stepped back scratching the back of his head.

"Did you start a rumor about me and other women? Did you?! Don't lie to me. Tell me you are not trying to hurt me and Liu Fei."

[Yogo Mizuki]

Mizuki gives a small laugh. "Why would I put myself in the rumor? Besides, I wronged you. You are the one that should be spreading rumors about me. Thank you for not doing that." She gives a small bow.

[Bayushi Suteichi]

"Contrary to popular belief, I do have a measure of mercy." Suteichi walked back to her and held her hand. "Especially for you... Benten blessed me with you for a reason. Benten now blesses me with Liu Fei for a lifetime if she is even more benevolent to me." he held her hand to his face then let go.

"Someone out there is casting shade on me and mine. I want them found. I want them dealt with. They hurt me, they hurt Liu Fei, and they hurt you. I'm not going to be forgiving of that."

[Yogo Mizuki]

Mizuki nods. "Of course. Someone either for forgot or never knew you don't fuck with the Scorpion. Let's remind them. Do you know who? Or have some suspicions?"

[Bayushi Suteichi]

"I have a couple of suspects...."

[Yogo Mizuki]

Mizuki leans in. After all, never know if the walls have ears. Probably not. They are Unicorn. But she appreciated Sutiechi's paranoia.

((Feel free to PM))

[Bayushi Suteichi]

Suteichi leaned in and whispered into her ear the names of his suspects. Then stepped back and gave Mizuki a nod.
