A/N: For Gambitsfox for her birthday: D

Nino took a deep breath staring at the house that he was meant to just waltz into and ask to steal their daughter for a few days. The plan had sounded fine in his bedroom but honestly he could see how every step of this could go wrong. The family could get the wrong impression of him all together and think that he was after the girl. He really wasn’t sure how he would be able to deal with that if Ohno thought that too, his lord was a very possessive man after all.

“Just act confident” Fuwa whispered in his ear and Nino was tempted to tell her that that was easy for her to say. His stomach was in very painful knots and he was finding it almost difficult to breathe. The door opened and a pale looking girl with a mass of untidy black hair that outlined her delicate features. Her eyes were a warm mahogany colour framed by jet black eyelashes. She looked as nervous as Nino was feeling and she gave a small gasp when he smiled at her “Ah, Ninomiya-sama…This is the young lady that I have told you about…Anzai Umeko…”

“Nice to meet you…” Nino said his smile widening as she quickly nodded her head at him.

“And you too sir…” Umeko said her voice was broken, obviously from nerves, but it was soft and it reminded him of one of the girls that had been in the Garden. They’d never been very good friends but he had liked to listen to her speaking. “My father is in the sitting area…He would like to speak with you about your…Um…Offer, sir…”

“I see…” was all Nino managed to get out as a reply and he had to suck in another lungful of soothing air before he managed to take a step into the house after she had stepped away from the door. His brain seemed to be playing a never ending mantra of ‘My lord is going to kill me for interfering in his house; he is so going to kill me…’

He removed his shoes by the door and then slowly took a step into a warm and pleasant room that smelt of cooking, tinged with horse flesh. There walls were free from any decoration but they were clean, very clean, as if the owner spent long hours every day scrubbing them or at least most of that day. The sitting area was the first room that they came too and Nino quailed when he saw the size of the man that was obviously Umeko’s father. He was huge about the size of a bear with a sweaty dirty face and a black beard he was sitting crossed legged in behind an open fire pit and he shot Nino a long hard look from underneath brushy eyebrows.

“My father…Anzai Hiroshi…” Umeko said falling to her knees beside her father and Nino bowed his head deeply

“It is a pleasure to meet you sir…Fuwa-san has told me much about you…” Nino lied glad that his voice didn’t give his nerves away by hesitating.

“As she…And I have heard much about you, Ninomiya-sama…So which are you our lord’s ‘mistress’ or his whore?” Anzai said his eyes narrowing sharply and Nino jolted his eyes blinking rapidly. He scraped his tongue over his lips and then recovered surprisingly quickly

“I guess you could say am both, sir” he said with ease and after studying him for a while Anzai motioned for him to sit down.  He did so and smiled when Umeko poured him a drink.

“I see and now you wish for companionship…”

“I yes…But my lord would not enjoy it if it were another man… But A female…I think that he would accept more…” Nino whispered well aware that his voice was almost vanishing as his eye focused on the hands that looked like they could freely crush his skull in given half the chance. This was so stupid; he thought desperately trying to calm down his nerves as his mind asked why couldn’t the stupid little mute just be friends to him properly without him having to jump through hoops like some kind of performing monkey?

“Forgive me sir, but you are a man and I assume that you have all of your equipment…How would it look better to our lord if you have a female as a companion…”

“I…” Nino floundered, his eyes flicking to Fuwa who looked as flummoxed as he was. Taking a breath he prayed that his next sentence would never reach his lord “My lord trusts me…But it is other men that he does not trust, our lord Ohno knows that my eyes will never look towards another for as long as I have him…”

“I see” The blacksmith mused, one of his bone crushing hands scraping against his chin, a flash of surprise in his eyes “a bold statement from one so freshly out of the whore house. The last I checked our lord rarely trusts people…”

“I was given to our lord as a gift from our emperor himself, he has my word that he will be my only lord and master…” Nino said, at least that part was true, even if he wasn’t having feelings for Ohno and he hated him he wouldn’t be able to look at anybody else. “Though the arrangements of our lord and me are of little interest to you I am sure…”

“Forgive me, Ninomiya-sama…I do not mean to pry but Umeko is my only daughter and I seek only her safety…”

“Of course Anzai-san…I understand your concerns but…I was brought up with many other people and lots of them were my age but now…” Nino let out an over dramatic sigh adopting a submissive pose, the kind that he knew bigger men like to see, before continuing with more than just traces of sadness in his voice “I am in an unfamiliar castle and the staff is so much older than I…Fuwa-san does her best but she has many duties…”

“And what would Umeko’s duties to you be? She is a farm hand; she has not been trained in the genteel arts like one such as you…” Anzai bit out but Nino could tell that he was softening up

“I require only a friend and perhaps somebody that will teach me more about our lord’s lands and a farm hand can do that, better than anybody trained in the ‘genteel arts’…” Nino said playing up to the man once again as a fond smile formed across his lips “My own father was a farm hand…Oh he carried arms when needed in service to the emperor but deep down the land is what he loved…”

“And he approved of you going off into the Garden to be a whore…To use your body to tempt men…” Anzai scoffed now and Nino stiffened before forcing himself to relax.

“I cannot say if he would have approved or not, he and the rest of my family were killed…” Nino allowed his voice to trail off although to his horror it was really catching when he thought about what his father’s reaction would have been if he knew that he was ‘tempting men’. He had never thought about it before but since coming here…To his lord’s house and having all of the wounds seemingly reopened he was positive that his father would be ashamed of how he had survived after his death. “I…” He stopped when his voice came out a choke and he cleared his throat slowly before continuing “Forgive me…There is very little doubt in my mind though that my father would not have approved but I was only five when I witnessed them all killed and positioned on a pyre, my mother…My father and my younger brother…He would not have approved but I vowed then, just as a vow now, that I would survive…I am not skilled in the art of war so If giving my body to my lord allows me to do that then that is what I will do…”

“I see…” Anzai looked at him with almost sympathy in his eyes and Nino allowed himself to relax again reaching out to take the bulky cup and sip the only lukewarm tea. “Why my girl…?”

“I asked Fuwa-san if she could recommend somebody and Umeko-chan’s name came up and she had nothing but praise…” Nino said smiling at his servant who nodded her head. He turned back to Anzai and told him softly “I promise that it will only until our lord returns, though I do not know when that will be…”

“…I see…So your interest could only be for a few days or it could be weeks?” Anzai mused again stroking his chin.

“Yes…” Nino nodded hoping that would be the correct answer. The powerful looking man gave a nod before turning to the girl who had stayed silent this whole time.

“Well girl, the decision rests with you…” He muttered and Nino looked at her hopefully. Umeko’s chewed her lips nervously while her fingers twisted around on her lap “Speak girl…”

“I…Um…Will I have to stay in the castle…?” She whispered and Nino flicked his eyes to Fuwa who spoke up for the first time since they entered the house

“That is up to you…You can come to the castle each morning and leave at night or you can stay in my room, there is a spare bed you may use…”

“For convenience you should stay at the castle” Anzai said and Nino very nearly rolled his eyes. So much for the decision resting with her, he had already made up his mind.

“Then…Thank-you, sir, I would be happy to work as your companion…” She nodded and Nino beamed at her

“Thank-you, Umeko-chan...” He said mentally clenching his fist at the small victory though he knew that the real battle was about to begin. “Then I shall see you at the castle tomorrow morning…”

“Yes, sir” The girl looked frankly lost and Nino felt sorry that he was using her like this but he shook himself, it wasn’t like he was going to do anything awful to her. He rose to his feet gracefully as Anzai did the same and Nino bowed his head at the moving mountain

“Thank-you for your time, Anzai-san…”

“Thank-you for paying us attention…” Anzai said walking with them to the door.

“That went better than I could have hoped…” Nino sighed almost saying against the woman as they walked back to the castle and Fuwa gave a laugh nodding her head slowly

“It was tense…” She agreed and Nino groaned at the understatement of her words. He brushed his hair with his fingers and grinned wickedly as saw Matsumoto at the castle gates pacing backwards and forwards looking irritated.

“Hello Matsumoto-san, how nice of you to wait for me to welcome me back…” He said and Matsumoto huffed holding up a piece of paper

>They said that you went to see Ume Anzai-chan<

“Yes, I did…” Nino nodded wondering who had told him but he shouldn’t have been surprised. Rumours spread fast in any kind of castle.

>Why? <

“Well, you said that you did not wish to be my friend so I went out to get one…” Nino shrugged “She will be stopping in the castle as my companion, maybe you would like to join us…If not…”

>I hate you! < Matsumoto wrote the pencil scratching the paper so hard that it tore it before he turned on his heel and walked away. Nino watched him go his mind swimming as he ran forwards and grabbed his arm

“Jun, wait please…” He said without realising what he was actually saying. Matsumoto turned and shot him with a hot glare his teeth stretching over his lips as he wrote

>Jun is dead<

Nino blinked staring down at the words that had been pressed into his hands not noticed that Matsumoto had pulled out of his grip and stalked away. How did he know who Jun was? He wondered as his finger traced the words.

[yumi-usagi.livejournal.com]

Jun is so stubborn >.<
But I guess the reason he wrote Jun is dead is because he doesn't want to remember his harsh before he met Ohno.
Thanks for sharing!
