*This estate has become a milestone for secrecy of governmental activity that isn't legal in Japan or really any other country. Home of the "Man without a Heart" Dr. Enma Akusai of Applied Bio-Science & Chemistry.*

~The Carriage arrives in front of the newly updated estate which seemed twice as big as the last time Aki was here~

Veronica: Here we are *the Black Uniformed Soldiers open the carriage door and escort Veronica & Aki through the front door of the estate*

*Aki quickly gulped down the rest of the wine and stepped out of the carriage. He was already feeling a little light headed. Perhaps western wine so early in the morning wasn't the best idea.*

It's bigger than the last time I was here. *He commented as they walked up to the mansion. Where did Enma get the money for all of this?*

*She leads him all the way to the new office. As soon as she openned the door Aki faced a larger than life window view of the Pacific Ocean and far away he can see Mt. Fuiji. But the one dark figure in front of the window view with one hand behind his back and the other holding a cup of English Tea*

Enma: Good Morning, Toush...I mean Izayoi-san *sips his tea as Veronica lefts the room and closes the door*

Good morning, Akusai-sama. *Aki cringed just slightly when he heard himself say that. Old habits died hard and calling Enma 'Akusai-sama' was one of them.* Why did you bring me here? *Trying to make up a little for being too polite with hint of annoyance in his voice.*

Enma: Annoyance....one of the many things you feel when you hear or see me. *turns around* Well I can really care less about your feeling so I should make thing quick...There is "special" document i'd like you to retrieve for me. I would get it myself but it seems that I am.....territory controller. This document is secured at this camp in Yokohama controlled by a small rebel group called the Dark Mountain. You will be paid 581,100 yen for the job. *tosses him a folder of the assignment*

*Aki caught the folder, but didn't open it just yet. That was a good sum of money for one job.* Why me? You have lots of other goons, why not use them to get this document of your's?

Enma: Why not ask a rich man to give away his money to everyone?

*Aki glared back. The money had already made up his mind for him what he would do, but that didn't mean he had to like it.* Fine, I'll do the job for you.

Enma: Remember I own you.....by blackmail of course *holds a folder* this folder holds crimes that are all linked to you. Mess with me and you'll be on the next trip to a prison where you will be labeled as a tratior to the country. Now go b4 you upset my Morning Tea *turns back to the window view*

I get the point. *He growled at Enma. The man was one of the few people he took threats from seriously. Aki then turned and headed out the way he came and opened up the folder he'd been given to see what the information on the job was.*

*A Stallion was being packed for Akisu's journey, by a young girl. She wore short shorts jumpsuit and had big leather boots. She was bending over far down finishing brushing the horse*

*Aki had his eyes looking at the folder in his hands, reading the details of the mission. He happened to take his eyes off of the folder just in time to see this very good looking girl bending over in front of him. He blushed a little and cursed Enma for having such nice looking servants. Even what he guessed was the stable master was good looking.*

Young Stable Master: *sees him while she's bent over she gets up quick as hell while her chest jiggles and salutes* Sir! Your horse is ready to go, sir.

I... oh... thank you. *He blushed just slightly and moved closer to the horse and the girl. Hiab wasn't going to be happy, but he was going to have to leave now.*

Young Stable Master: *she smiles slightly and brightly blushes red*
~He's really really cute...my goodness. wonder if he's single....oh wait he's a high ranking officer in Akusai-sama's organization~ *walks back in the stable slowly while still looking at Aki very hard and seductively*

*Aki got up on the horse. Either he didn't notice the look she gave him or he was trying very hard to ignore it.* Goodbye. *He said quickly and took off on the horse towards Yokohama.*

*Aki road back up to the estate after his mission in Yokohama. He hopped off of the horse and headed back into the mansion. On the ride back his mind wondered whither Enma would be angry with him for only bringing back the one page. He stepped up to the office and entered.*

*Enma is at his desk signing something away and Veronica takes the last document he signs and he signals her to leave and so she does but not before saluting Aki and then she closes the door*

Enma: Ah, you have returned *checks his pocket watch* you run into a problem...? You've been gone 8 hours...*looks up at Aki and smirks* please take a seat.

*Aki walked up to the desk and to the chair in front of it. All this western culture was a bit much, though the chair was rather comfortable.* There was a bit of trouble... and I only found this. *Aki pulled the photo from his coat and placed it on the desk for Enma to see. He then shifted a little nervously in the chair.*

*Enma adjusted his glasses and then took out a magnifier to attach to his glasses. He then observed the photoand smiles* Ah yes there you are *Then takes off the magnifiers and goes into his drawer then pulled out a small envelope and handed it to Aki* Thank you for your assistants Izayoi-san *smiles*

*Aki took the envelope and looked to see that the money was in fact in there. He then stood up to leave, but didn't move after standing up from the chair.* Akusai-sama... do you know of a group called Gekkou H.?

Enma: The Gekkou H? Hmm I don't believe my resources have any intelligence on the Gekkou H. Why do you ask, Akisu?

The man I fought spoke of the Gekkou H. and said the documents were with their Master now. *He looked as if he wanted to say more, but didn't. Aki didn't want to mention that his real father had been a part of this group. Just another piece of information Enma didn't need to know about.*

Enma: *clears his throat* Well ..um if you have any other intel on this Gekkou H please let me know...I must know...For I must protect our way of life here in Japan *smiles* Now, I have an appointment with a client. My carriage shall take you back to the Inn *gets up and takes out his hand for a hand shake* enjoy the money

*Aki stuffed the envelope into an inside pocket. He shook his head when Enma asked if he had any other information.* That's all I know. He wouldn't tell me much. *Aki then looked down at Enma's outstretched hand, then stuck his own out, though not knowing what to do with it. Was this some western thing, too?*

*Enma took Aki's hand and shook it* This is called a hand shake in the west. Yes, you must visit there...maybe i'll send you there to get away from the havok of Japan *smiles* Now if you excuse me *Enma walks to his door and waves his hand outside the day* I have other business to attained too.

*Aki waited for Enma to leave before wiping his hand off on his coat. What was wrong with westerners? Touching hands like that wasn't clean, or at least not with people like Enma. He'd rather not go there, to the west, it seemed stranger and stranger the more he knew about it.*

*He then headed back down the hallway and to the carriage that was waiting for him. Hiab would be angry with him by now, if she was still at the inn.*

*Aki returned again, not long after he left to Enma's estate. He was determined to figure out what was going on here and for what reason Enma played a hand in giving him the fortress and those within it for him to command.*

Veronica: *walks into his office* Sir it has been done.
Enma: The message has been sent.
Veronica: Yes sir *comes closer to Enma*
Enma: *looks at Veronica seductively* So everything is going exactly as I planned it. *takes his pin and traced her breast with it...but then shoved her away* But now i'm not in the mood....Their is still one more problem my dear...and for some reason...my message to the treacherous bastards in Western Europe didn't seem to scared them off....*sips his brandy then Veronica dips her fingers in his drink and she licks them*
Veronica: We shall get them to fear your my lord...and I shall scream your name tonite ....*slowly walks away and opens the door* ...My Lord *then sees Aki* ..oh hello Sir...*walks away*

*Aki walked quickly into the office and right past the forigner. He makes his way right up to Enma's desk and slaps the scroll down on the desk.* What the hell did you have to do with this? *His green eyes glared back at Enma.*

Enma: Well you seem very upset. I thought you'd enjoy some....power in your possesion. Does this not please you?

It'd please me if I knew you didn't have something to do with it. *Aki growled and crossed his arms stubbornly. He didn't trust Enma to begin with, now this. There was something very wrong about it.*

Enma: *walks up very close to Aki..nose to nose and he smiles* Oooh Akisu...my dear young man. You don't ....*stares him up and down*...like me? *holds Aki's arms tight and has him very close to Enma's face. Enma's light neon green eyes gaze at him* Why don't know like me so? Hmmm? *smirks*

*Aki's stubborn glare quickly disappeared. Being so close to those... unnatural looking eyes was enough to creep Aki out. He tried to pull away, but found Enma's grip to be quite tight and actually hurting his arms.* It's... I... *It was hard to think with those eyes staring just inches from him.* I... don't trust you.

Enma: *pushes him away to the floor and narrowed his eyes making them seem as if they glow in the dark* After I have done for YOU!!!! This is what I get in return? Like Moritsune was soooo much of a better leader I'm giving you a chance at something that you'd probably won't get a chance at...EVER!!!! And you say you don't trust me? Answer me why? ANSWER ME!!!! *in the deepest and scariest voice he has ever brought out*

I... I'm.. not sure why. *Aki said rather meekly. A bit afraid for his life at the moment. There had always been something about Enma that made him a little weary.* Actually... there is one thing... *That he could really speak of* You threaten me to do things, doesn't exactly help me trust you...

Enma: Aki Aki Aki you must understand....it has been awhile since you have served me. And it didn't know how loyal you could be. So I just reminded you, I never have REALLY any intention of handing you over to the police or anything like that. That would make bad business for me, having a known felon work for me for SO much money then average works. I do respect you....as long as you don't *uck up my work *smiles* If I never like you, you'd be dead simple as that.

*Aki was silent as he pushed himself up off of the floor. Enma did have a point, though Aki still felt as if he was being used.* I still don't see why you did this. You seem to think me very responsible to be granting me this much power.

Enma: I am very much positive that you can successed in building this army. Especially with very good and trust worthy Generals

*Suddenly a Woman walks through the door. She was clad in lightweight double layered black chainmail with a midnight black cloak & hood*

So... she's one of my generals? *Though now he wondered what he was if he had generals underneith him. The idea was starting to appeal to him more, now that he wasn't quite as suspicious of Enma's actions.*
