				<div class="floatright">(http://i1181.photobucket.com/albums/x437/Nathaniel_Vernes/Ideas/SasGin.jpg)</div>As the sun set on the streets and buildings of the town, torches flared and atypically there was a surge of activity - this was Edo, as it was before it had become a thriving city.&nbsp; Now little more than an overgrown fishing town, men of such profession, as well as some farmers of the outlying areas, merchants, and soldiers went about their business.&nbsp; Some sought relaxation, friends, and good cheer, where others sought pleasures more carnal.&nbsp; In one such brothel, the madame and the master scurried about to make sure that all the preparations for the evening were in order to gain as much profit as they could from the coming festival.&nbsp; A commotion caught the attention of the owner and he left his business with an obvious look of consternation, wishing that such problems would give his doorstep wide berth.<br><br>Once outside, if he felt such frustration, he did not show it.&nbsp; He had nothing but smiles and polite bows for all present, for a palanquin and a retinue of samurai had pulled up outside.&nbsp; Despite himself, the owner licked his lips; for this was an unusually good fortune that such a customer would come to his establishment - his was not the worst, but there were plenty of establishments with far more renown - it was the kind of fortune that could make or break a man's fortunes.<br><br>"<em>Mama-san</em>!" he summoned the elderly madame of the brothel, gasping under his breath as he spoke quickly.&nbsp; "Bring out the girls quickly, and line them up well!&nbsp; What?&nbsp; Yes, even the devil-girl!&nbsp; Everyone!&nbsp; Make sure Kaera-<em>chan</em> is at her best, see to it personally!"<br><br>The older woman did not really need the man's urgent implications, she had eyes and brain enough to understand the situation, and scurried away already counting the profits to be had in her mind.&nbsp; She did not really see the sense of bringing the Kohaku girl out, and potentially ruin the business, but she was not the owner and so did as she was told.&nbsp; Kohaku would be placed on the right-most side of the line where the least desirable girls were placed, whereas Kaera, the houses' best, would be placed on the left-most side.&nbsp; She did not fear the girl as most others did, and thought herself the closest thing the orphan had to a mother, though she was far from a gentle woman.<br><br>From the litter, the occupant stepped out resplendent in a <em>kimono</em> and <em>hakama</em> of blue and white silk.&nbsp; He did not carry the <em>daisho</em>, the customary long and the short sword that characterised one of the samurai caste, but of course the owner knew that he was, just as he did not need to see the stylised <em>kamon</em> on the back of his <em>kimono</em> to know who he was.&nbsp; At this point there were few in Edo who had not heard of Uesugi Gentatsu who was currently a guest of honour to the Hojo clan.&nbsp; Of course, guest meant hostage, and thus his lack of swords.&nbsp; Likewise, his escort were Hojo men, undoubtedly meant to keep a close eye on him, except perhaps the grizzled old man who watched everyone carefully and had the blue and white motif of the Uesugi.<br><br>He did not have the shaved pate of the samurai, but rumour had it he was among the last of a long line of heir, and he was allowed some leeway to do as he pleased.&nbsp; His money was still as good as any other and that was what was important to any of the merchant caste, though at present the brat looked slightly bored, which caused the owner to break out in sweat, ruining his composure slightly, causing him to redouble his efforts.

				<div class="floatright">(http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i254/RiZAL_D/Miscellaneous/kohaku_joy01.jpg)</div> Niijima Kohaku hadn't expected to be rushed out of her room on the other side of the courtyard (she was given a single room away from all the other harlots in fear she may influence the younger ones) so quickly. She had just woken up and applied the little makeup she usually wore and was just going to spend her free time brushing her silky white hair. Her hair had reached a little past her waist and it was like a silk spider had blessed her with silk to cover her head. Kohaku wasn't expecting a visitor from anywhere, for she wasn't really one of the girls a common lord would want to get service from, but having a high optimism, she didn't really care that she was rejected by all who saw her.<br><br>Thinking about as she followed the other and was stood to the end of the assembled line, towards the right, she was called many names, most of which had devil or demon in them. She did not care to remember the names, for they were only superficial. Mostly mysterious, Kohaku didn't spend her time and countless opportunities to make those who saw her externally understand what was really going on inside. From as far as she can remember in the twenty or so years she was on this Earth, she had always had white hair. It made her look old with a young face and it was the target of much ridicule. Her amber eyes were also targeted too, for it was uncommon for the children to be born with the color of tree sap. From the many rumors and ridiculous stories she had heard from the townsfolk and even her fellow sisters in the brothel, that people thought that her father had been seduced and bedded with a <em>kitsune</em>, or fox, and the resulting offspring was a girl, Kohaku, named for the amber eyes she was born with. People assumed she had gained the powers of the kitsune, and inherited the fabled white hair from her. When girls would be crying their eyes out due to teasing and accusing, Kohaku was mysterious was that she actually found those stories funny, even when the tone of the story was serious and meant to scare her.<br><br>Since Kohaku hadn't expected visitors to come by, she was dressed in the garment she regularly slept in. She wore a black kimono that looked like it was made for a man, appearing a bit oversized on her smaller frame. Underneath she wore a black hakama, a motif of a grey raven on her bust. She didn't know what was going on, but she was called to appear before what looked like a group of samurai. A litter was present before the brothel as well, and unusually, Kohaku was joyful at how many was gathered, since she had never seen anything like this kind of gathering before. Suddenly, a man appeared from the litter. The samurai gathered on foot look similar to each other, but the man who appeared from the litter was differently dressed. She observed that this man carried no swords, and Kohaku assumed he did this to appear humble and of no threat. His head was not shaved like the rest and the crown of his head offered bangs that hid his eyes from the light of the day. Kohaku had paid special attention to him and he approached the owner. This man seemed like he didn't pay his respects to anybody. She had to admire that in him. This day had grown to be a much different one than regular days, and unusually, Kohaku had put on a smile, thinking her day was going to be a fortunate one.

				Kaera yawned.&nbsp; She rolled over and her hand gripped the petit breast of the girl with her in bed.&nbsp; At least, the girl on that side.&nbsp; Kaera made no secret of enjoying her 'coworkers' company when no customers were present.&nbsp; She usually timed it rather well; early in the morning, during the lunch hours, then late at night, well after most customers would visit.<br><br>The girl whom she grabbed cooed a bit then took in a sharp breath as Kaera's excitement became evident to her.&nbsp; Kaera was no ordinary woman of pleasure; she had an extra part.&nbsp; She rarely showed it, however, almost always keeping her gown on around her midriff to conceal it.&nbsp; Given her dominant nature, it was easy for her to remain on top of any man who wanted her.&nbsp; Dominant nature plus her skills as a fighter; trained by her father, she was a samurai in every sense except for her sexuality.&nbsp; Being a samurai didn't help either of them, however, for her father died poor and broken and Kaera had to scrape together a living with her feminine wiles.<br><br>She pulled the girl she was gripping over onto her back and loomed over her, naked and erect.&nbsp; She bent down to kiss the girl, sliding her tongue into her mouth.&nbsp; The girl kissed back and the one beside them rolled over to watch.&nbsp; Kaera turned to look at her.<br><br>"You're not just going to watch Sachiko" she said seductively.&nbsp; She got up on her knees and began to rub her cock.&nbsp; It wasn't massive like most people believed hermaphrodite's were.&nbsp; In fact, it was almost an inch below average for men.&nbsp; "Come and use your lovely lips on me" she cooed in a demanding way.<br><br>Not twenty minutes later, after the blowjob and while Kaera was cock-deep in one of her bedmates did the madame of the house come in and tell them that a rich client was here and they were to line up.&nbsp; Kaera sighed.&nbsp; This <em>always</em> seemed to happen to her.&nbsp; She pulled out and told Sachiko to quickly clean her up while Chido went to grab their cloths.<br><br>Within five minutes Kaera and her companions of the night were walking gracefully down the stairs in their silk kimonos, Kaera's thigh completlely exposed through the gap.&nbsp; She took the place of honor and smiled as sultrily as she could at the man whom was obviously in charge.&nbsp; The samurai all around were just soldiers in her eyes; brutes good only for killing and being killed.&nbsp; The handsome man who stood among them, unarmed and unadorned with vast riches had the eyes of a thinker, of a killer.&nbsp; He would kill, but he would never be killed. He was the kind of man Kaera lusted after.

				"What do you think, Terajima-<em>dono</em>?" asked the Uesugi of the older man next to him, with a voice that might have been considered seductive if it wasn't so devoid of interest at present.<br><br>The older man laughed; "I think Uesugi-<em>sama</em> is pleased to jest!&nbsp; Surely it is only fit for common peasants and fat-bellied merchants!"<br><br>Whilst it was clear the older man was making a joke, it brought the ageing owner of the establishment to standstill as though frozen in his tracks.&nbsp; But the Uesugi laughed and came over to pat the man on his shoulders.&nbsp; "It is somewhat unfortunate, but Terajima-<em>dono</em> has a somewhat sardonic sense of humor - pay him no heed.&nbsp; Tonight, I am here for myself only - all these days in Edo castle have wearied me, like no other - tonight I am seeking to, if only briefly, attain a touch of heaven!"<br><br>Skilled diplomat that he was, the old man recovered as quickly as he had been put down, quickly assuring the quality of his house and ushering the patron to the gilded cage behind which the wares of his house were lined.&nbsp; As was custom, he brought his guest to the right-most side of the line, to be gradually shown the girls in ascending order of desirability.&nbsp; There was little he could do or say, when Gentatsu did not budge from before Kohaku, who was the first to be seen.&nbsp; He did not look particularly interested despite the sweeping look he gave her that might have made a girl blush from the scrutiny; or at least gave a good impression that he was not, but he did say: "Why would such a rare flower as this be found here?"<br><br>The owner licked his lips, quite at a loss for words, but Gentatsu did not press him, for in the end, he had no wish for any secret's the girl might have to be revealed before the assembled crowd and shame her even further than she already was by being in that position of the line.&nbsp; "I'm certain you had your reasons, and I have been indiscreet.&nbsp; Please, let us continue."<br><br>With an imperceptible bow to Kohaku, they continued their inspection of the line, until at last they reached before Kaera.&nbsp; As the 'lady' of the house, he afforded her a polite smile, sweeping aside the hair before his eyes that he might have a better look.&nbsp; Cultivated to be every bit the classic image of beauty, she was every bit as alluring as the exotic Kohaku girl.&nbsp; The owner made every effort to point out her skill as a conversationalist, a singer, and her practice of the arts.&nbsp; Before making his choice, he ran his eyes over the line again, all of the girls enthusiastic, whatever their reasons may be, even if they did stand demurely.&nbsp; "Well, I shall defer to your judgement.&nbsp; Nebachi Kaera, was it?"<br><br>The choice had been made, but before everyone could be removed to their respective rooms, the Uesugi astounded everyone by making a further announcement: "Yet I am not in the mood for disturbances this eve - how much will it take to rent your entire establishment for this evening?"<br><br>Much commotion followed, but for all his self-discipline, Gentatsu had a hard time keeping the beginnings of a grin from his lips at the thought of the Lord of Edo castle when the expenses were sent; as a 'guest' he had to be afforded every courtesy, and he had given the man more than enough peace by remaining quiet ever since he had arrived.&nbsp; Before everyone was brought inside, the samurai escort to remain on guard outside, Gentatsu gave Kohaku a secretive smile as he passed her by, before leaving for Kaera's side.

				Assuming she wasn't going to be chosen for her services in the brothel, Kohaku settled with putting her interests not on the swordless man or the samurai in front of the brothel but on a bird who chose to perch in one of the crevices of the gilded cage. She admired the bird at how free it was able to express herself and that its cares were not on its appearance or the world around itself, values that Kohaku herself adopted for herself. She was so into the bird that she hardly even noticed Gentatsu, the man dressed without a sword, standing in front of her. She did not jump if startled like one of the other girls, but she did show her surprised by raising her eyebrows. The man gave her a sweeping look up and down her presence, causing her to give the man a sweeping look and finish as their eyes met once again. Kohaku was indeed surprised but she was also puzzled at why this man would start from the left rather than the right. There was no evidence of her blushing, and her cheeks stayed as white as porcelain, even when he mentioned her to be a rare flower.<br><br>Gentatsu was then escorted towards the lady of the house. Kohaku was left watching the man as he walked toward Kaera, still wondering why he had chosen to inspect her first. She then looked over at Kaera, to see if the usual jealousy was written on her face after seeing the inspection.<br><br>Indeed as expected, Gentatsu had chosen to take the services of Kaera rather than any of the other women. It did not offend Kohaku at all and she had already assumed that with her lacking popularity in the brothel and the town that she wasn't going to get anybody to bed with her for the day. She knew that this man had his reasons. Being miserable for not being chosen wasn't an option for Kohaku, for she learned that being miserable for any reason was just worthless. But what surprised her was that this Gentatsu had bought the whole brothel for the rest of the day, the particular reason for doing it was unknown to her. What it would provide for her was more time for herself.<br><br>For a moment as all the other girls were filing back into the brothel, Kohaku had froze on the spot as Gentatsu was leaving for Kaera's side. Her eyes stole a secreted smile that was sent towards her by the man as he passed by. She was left near the door speechless and motionless for about a minute. The small gesture had caught her by surprise and she was left questioning why he had done it when he has already chosen Kaera to tend to his needs.<br><br>With nobody waiting for her services, she quickly went to her room across the courtyard and picked up her shamisen. Kohaku sat on the porch, beginning to pluck each string, letting the sound of the instrument fill the courtyard. She had done this for company, but she waited for those that were not human. Around the time when the sun was at its highest in the sky, a brown puppy came scurrying in the little holes that he had dug following the tunes of the shamisen. It would always go straight to Kohaku, who would feed it its lunch in exchange for a bit of company. When humans would estrange her from themselves, other creatures would come to her aid, which further made the townsfolk avoid her for her behavior. She hoped it wouldn't be a disturbance to that Gentatsu man.

				Kaera was rarely ever interested in the customers who came to purchase her or the other girls.&nbsp; She often found that the equasion was: money = 1/attractive qualities; simply put, this mean that most of the time the more money a customer have the uglier he was, if not physically than personality wise.&nbsp; People didn't quite get how looks weren't <em>everything</em> and, in fact, Kaera would prefer a fat, ugly man who was kind, courteous, and gentle to the most handsome of charmers who had nothing more in mind than a quick lay with a doll.<br><br>Familiar with the wealthy types, Kaera had a mental picture of what this samurai leader would be like- he would start with her, give her body his full scrutiny, then slowly walk down the line, giving each girl less and less attention until he all but ignored the two or three on the farthest side from Kaera.&nbsp; He would then come back to her and ask to be led to her room where he would make her do all of the work before finishing and either fall asleep or simply up and leave with her, naturally, unsatisfied.&nbsp; By then it would be late enough that Kaera could find another companion and spend the night in someone else's room so not all was bad.<br><br>He started, however, with Kohaku.&nbsp; She felt a surge of anger within her- how <em>dare</em> he start by looking at <em>her</em>?&nbsp; Normally she ignored the comments not about her, but when he heard the man ask why such a rare flower was here she was tempted to lunge for the nearest sword and show him what a real woman could do.&nbsp; Ironic since she wasn't a real woman in the purest sense of the phrase, but still she felt affronted by him.<br><br>He did, however, begin working his way up the line of girls, each of them showing him thei rbest cutsie or seductive faces along the way.&nbsp; Eventually he made it to Kaera.&nbsp; She put her weight on one leg to let the other one bend, letting her creamy thigh glow in the light of the room while she put on her best enticing smile.&nbsp; Like <em>hell</em> she was going to let Kohaku have this man.&nbsp; She watched him move hair from his face and look at her.&nbsp; She found herself oddly attracted to his eyes.&nbsp; Perhaps he was one of the few who could break her customer equasaion?<br><br>She listened to the master of the house try to sell kaera to him with words of her conversational abilities and artistic talents. Unsurprisingly, he chose Kaera.&nbsp; She glanced down the line with a smirk at Kohaku before extending an arm to the samurai leader.&nbsp; He surprised her then by buying out the <em>entire</em> house.&nbsp; Did he plan for an all night orgy?&nbsp; Such things had happened before...<br><br>He returned to her side and she gracefully took his arm. "Follow me my lord" she said, "I will take us somewhere far more...private." she smiled at him and led him away from the bustle of the house, up the stairs to her room.&nbsp; Given her job it was quite a nice room to look at; everything in bright exotic colors, silvers and golds and reds and fine silks and cashmier, a bed far too large for one person, candles along the walls and around the bed to make lighting control more detailed.&nbsp; In the corner was a small table with a tea tray already laid out along with some other bottles.<br><br>"May I interest my master of the night with tea? Sake?" she offered as she made her way towards the table, moving her hips with her steps for his enjoyment.&nbsp; On her way, the plucking of a shamisen began to sound through the open window that kept the room cool.&nbsp; She scowled at the window and diverted her way from the table so that she could close it yet still seem casual.&nbsp; <em>Kohaku...I hate you</em> she thought, knowing Kohaku to be the only one who would be playing a shamisen at this hour.

				“Perhaps the mood will be well for sake, Kaera-san,” he agreed.&nbsp; Once they were settled and comfortable, Gentatsu spoke at length about a great many trivial issues and courtesies.&nbsp; Despite his modest demeanour, there was no mistaking the lascivious nature beneath, though he probably had better control over it then most men.&nbsp; Nearly an hour later^^, between the two of them they had emptied several servings though he had been drinking the most.&nbsp; He finally took her by the waist pulling her close, though he did not molest or aim for further.<br><br>“Listen well Kaera-dono, I have a curious tale to tell you!” His merry tone betraying his tipsiness.&nbsp; “Have you heard of Nebachi Akito?&nbsp; There are many of the Nebachi family in my province, but I know of only one here in this region; a man who was once a greatly renowned swordsman who fled because he had sold certain secrets.&nbsp; He had but a single heir, a son as I understood it, but when he finally died, he left behind a massive debt that was not repaid and everything he owned was seized.&nbsp; Nothing is known of what happened to his son, and perhaps he died.&nbsp; Would you happen to know anything about this?”<br><br>He gave Kaera’s chin a light tap, laughing heartily, and went on without waiting for an answer: “But of course a beauty such as yourself would not know of such things!&nbsp; Aiee!&nbsp; The curse of sake to make men speak of such foolish things!”<br><br>With a smile he leaned in as if to kiss her, but suddenly stumbled, catching himself before he could fall.&nbsp; “Would you look at that – I appear to have over indulged,” he gave a drunken chortle.&nbsp; “I will go and refresh myself with a walk in the night air for I am in no condition to be received by the empress of this house!&nbsp; Please, await me here, and prepare for my return!”<br><br>Motioning for her to remain in her place with a caress upon her exposed leg, Gentatsu stumbled out, lurching slightly, but not quite falling.&nbsp; Pulling the door closed, he waved enthusiastically at a pair of girls who passed by who giggled upon seeing him.&nbsp; Through winding passages he passed, but by the time he had entered his fourth corridor, his manner of was straight and his eyes were clear.&nbsp; There was that music that seemed to call to him, and he had no trouble in finding its source.&nbsp; He waited in the shadow of the doorway that led to the courtyard, watching the silver haired girl ply the strings of her instrument.<br><br>When she noticed his presence, he gave soft applause as was her due.&nbsp; “Beautiful music, I have only ever heard it one other time.”<br><br>He came to sit beside her, though he kept a respectable distance.&nbsp; “Must you remain here alone, when everyone is indoors?&nbsp; But then again the night is beautiful as is the full moon, which has done justice to you Lady Kohaku – never before have I seen such a one as yourself and so my trip here has been of some worth just that I might have seen you.”<br><br>Reaching up, pausing for a moment, he brushed aside the hair from her face with a gentle gesture, holding her coiffure aside like a curtain to look at her revealed face.&nbsp; With a smile, he allowed the silver curtain fall back.

				When the puppy came for her company, she gladly gave the dog her hospitality with the chopped bits of a steak she had bought at the market. For a few hours in the afternoon, she would stop playing her shamisen and play with the dog, though usually silently as to not disturb any other customers. She had trained the puppy to shut its mouth and refrain from barking at her command, this way, it would be practically quiet in the courtyard; so quiet that the only sounds heard would be a stick being dropped onto the ground and the swift steps of a four-legged animal.<br><br>When sunset came, and Kohaku and the dog tired out from playing all day, she would give the puppy a bed made out of some of her sheets, which she placed on the patio. She would again play her shamisen, though with a slower, sweet melody of a lullaby. With the high walls surrounding the brothel and the courtyard in the rear of the building, townsfolk would mistaken the music to be of a beautiful lady of the house, more preferably Lady Kaera. No one would believe it is actually the devil-girl Kohaku playing such an angelic song.<br><br>Most nights she was left only to admire the notes she was playing and how they filled the courtyard. She was also left alone to admire the slumber of a puppy. But this night was different. Kohaku had a visitor. It was the swordless samurai from earilier in the day, who had entered the courtyard seemingly drawn to her music. She sat on the edge of the patio as the man entered and she ended her song as the man approached. A small applause from the man was returned with a slight bow by Kohaku. She smiled, then corrected the man, "Gentatsu-dono, I believe you are mistaken. This music I have played before you entered suits the night and the slumber of our bodies. The one I have played around midday was a more joyful piece that is well suited for such a bright day. Though, both pieces do suit this little dog who mysteriously comes to the music that I play everyday." She reached down and ran a gentle hand along the dog's head and down his soft back.<br><br>With her head bowed in respect and avoiding to look Gentatsu directly in the eyes, she watched as he sat on the edge of the patio, though on the other side of the sleeping animal. Kohaku smiled when he made his rather eloquent comment. "I'm glad Lord Gentatsu, that your eyes have seen the beauty that is freely displayed for you to see. Nature has provided us with wonderful sights to see, aromas to smell, tastes to taste, and sounds to hear. I pray that you have enough wisdom to begin to sense the inner beauty of those around you," she explained, her mouth bringing eloquence to life.<br><br>Kohaku laid her shamisen aside and looked up at the stars and the full moon that shone brightly on the earth below. She smiled at the fact that Gentatsu had compared her beauty to the beauty of the night and the celestial body itself. She sensed his movement towards her face. It wasn't threatening, so she didn't snap at him, lest his snap right back at her. She did, although, turned to face him slowly. His hand had lifted and parted her hair aside and smiled at Kohaku. Not knowing the meaning of the gesture, she stared at him with curiosity. The man smiled at her and she sensed that he was at the least bit content with what he saw. He removed his hand and allowed her silver curtain to fall. Call it coincidence, but at this same time as her silver locks fell back over her face, the puppy had awoken and stood from the folded sheet upon the patio. After yawning, he jumped off the edge and out of the courtyard using the little holes he had dug to get into the yard in the first place. But still, Kohaku, curiously, stared back at Gentatsu as he smiled.

				"Your wish is my command my lord" Kaera said in her silken voice as she poured out the drinks.&nbsp; She sat and listened patiently for a while as the regal man got out all of the niceties that those of great wealth and poor virtue had to go through for them to 'moralize' the upcoming activity.&nbsp; But as time went on and the conversation had her getting more and more involved, she found herself no longer waiting for the night to be over with but enjoying Gentatsu's company on an intellectual level.&nbsp; The two continued to drink and speak, though Kaera was always sure never to drink too much when on duty.<br><br>She blushed ab it but managed to hide it behind an ornate fan when he began to bring up the story of her father.&nbsp; When he asked if she knew anything about it she was about to stumble over a lie when her chin was tapped and he laugehd his own question off.&nbsp; She watched him get up and decide to go for a walk before they 'slept' and that she should prepare for when he returned.&nbsp; After he left she stood up and began to clean up the saki and light some of the fragranted candles.&nbsp; She toyed with the idea of having another companion join them for the night but decided to wait for Gentatsu to return.<br><br>She walked by the window as she went to get satin sheets for the bed and saw Gentatsu speaking to Kohaku outside.&nbsp; She froze and glared out the window, looking down at them.&nbsp; The wealthiest man that had ever come to this establishment talking to...<em>her</em>.&nbsp; What did <em>she</em> have that Kaera didn't have? What did <em>she</em> think she was toing talking to Kaera's customer!&nbsp; <em>Maybe she'll join us tonight...</em> she thought as a pang of longing began to reverberate within her.&nbsp; She closed her eyes and began to fantasize about Kohaku's form entwined with hers in her bed and a rise began to start under her kimono.&nbsp; She shook her head clear of the image.&nbsp; She must focus on being ready for Gentatsu's return.

				"Apology accepted Gentatsu-dono," Kohaku simply said as the man got up and went back to where he came from. She could not help but admire his form while his back faced her. This man is different than another I've been with, and not so quick to judge, Kohaku thought. She nodded at his advice about staying awake. She expected to have another moment with Gentatsu later in the evening and didn't whether it lasted longer or shorter than this moment.<br><br>She picked up her shamisen and looked towards the folded sheet that sat next to her on the porch. The puppy was nowhere to be seen, but she knew the sound of her instrument would guarantee he would come once she started playing it, but with respect for the others in the brothel, she avoided playing it at this moment. Instead, she got up and went into her room. Setting the shamisen in the corner, she went to her dresser and started to undress until she had everything but her underwear removed from her body. Though not feeling tired, but energized by her chance meeting with Gentatsu, she slipped into her cot and lay there with her eyes open.

				Walking back to the room of Kaera, Gentatsu’s thoughts were filled with thoughts of Kohaku, quite a fascinating girl in reality.&nbsp; He was pleased that he had run into her and moreover managed to talk with her, and he had told her the truth when he said that of all things alone, seeing her had made his trip worth it.&nbsp; The superstitious muttering of peasants and merchants did not daunt him as it had others, and he allowed himself to briefly wonder what a night in her arms might be like, a single night were she might express her own passion freely – he had heard in some detail what her usual clients were like... and who they were.<br><br>Even as he pondered the possibilities, he found himself before the Kaera’s door again.&nbsp; Yes, tonight was not for deliberation and scheming.&nbsp; The foremost woman in the house was his for this eve and that was where his concentration should be.&nbsp; Sliding the door open and shutting it behind him, he found himself anticipating the evening as he looked upon her; Nebachi Kaera was still a beautiful woman after all and any man alone with her would quickly come to desire her.<br><br>“I apologise for the delay Kaera-chan,” he smiled, “I was merely caught up in talking to a colleague of yours.&nbsp; Hopefully I have not ruined your mood, for I am eager to see what the lady of the house is capable of... or perhaps I shall have to coax it out of her?”&nbsp; His voice told her that the former was good, but the latter was better, and that he was the sort of man who did not spare any effort in whatever endeavour he put his mind to, whether it be a council chamber or the bed chamber.

				Kaera was waiting in bed, all lights out save for perhaps half a dozen candles lit along the headboard filling the room with the soft scent of lavender.&nbsp; Until Gentatsu's eyes adjusted to the dim he wouldn't be able to see Kaera laying in bed turned towards the door, the silken blanket drawn up to her chest to hide whether she was wearing anything.&nbsp; She gave him a sultry smile as the door opened.&nbsp; "No need to apologize my lord." she said in as sultry tones as she could muster.&nbsp; She was <em>determined</em> to make Gentatsu forget all about Kohaku tonight.&nbsp; Preferably within a few minutes.<br><br>When he asked about coaxing she grinned a little and sat up, the silk sheets sliding off her upper body to reveal a strapless nightgown wrapped around her body, just barely keeping her figure hidden.&nbsp; "Since you had to leave to clear your head, the sake has worn off so I will require some more...coaxing." she gave him a playful wink then slid like a specter across the bed, pulling blanket with her so that an opening was made for Gentatsu to get in with her.

				Gentatsu gave a grin to the woman lying before him.&nbsp; The dressing gown was something reminiscent of the style of clothing that might be found on the mainland; perhaps something brought in by the barbarians, but there was no doubting of its quality.&nbsp; Her lascivious nature was quite evident from the face and mannerism and already he could feel the beginnings of physical arousal.&nbsp; He did not jump in with her immediately, but instead sat by the side of the bed.<br><br>“It certain that you are the most desirable of the women here, though I must admit that I am not altogether familiar with the why.&nbsp; I hope you will not spare any effort tonight Kaera-chan, as the thought of that dreary castle has a tendency to suppress joy and pleasure, and I am hoping to take back pleasant memories when I leave in the morning... perhaps you will assist me in this?”<br><br>Untying the knot at his waist, he undid the sash and stripped himself of the brown material.&nbsp; Though young and hard of body, he yet had old scars, evidence of past battles fought, though by chance they did not detract from his looks.&nbsp; Almost little evidence of fat was to be seen on him, lithe muscles glided smoothly beneath his skin as he stretched himself insolently like a great wolf.&nbsp; Between his legs, his own arousal had already stretched to full length and girth, leaving some ladies of the court to speculate as to whether he had foreign blood that accounted for a larger than average size.<br><br>He wondered what Kohaku would be doing at present, and if she would consider his request to remain awake just a bit longer than she might otherwise.&nbsp; Reaching down, slipped one side of Kaera’s gown to reveal her breast, reminding himself again that it was not the time to be thinking of another when one was already before him.&nbsp; With his fingers he began to tease the stretched skin and nipple of her partially revealed body.

				Kaera gave Gentatsu a thoroughly seductive stare as he undressed before her.&nbsp; When he commented that he wasn't familiar with why she was the most desirable woman, she said "Well, I should demonstrate then shouldn't I?"&nbsp; She waited for him to get into the bed and placed a hand on his thigh.&nbsp; She smiled and leaned in, pressing her lips to his neck as he slid her gown aside to reveal her breast.&nbsp; She hummed on his skin when he began to toy with her exposed flesh and slid her lips up his jawbone to his mouth.&nbsp; She forced her tongue through his lips and wrapped her hands around his body, one across his back and the other cradling the back of his head.&nbsp; "Mmmmmm" she hummed as she brought a leg up over his lap, her thigh brushing his manhood and finding herself very pleased with the results.

				Encouraged by her moans and writhings, Gentatsu used his body to press her down upon the bedding.&nbsp; Enjoying the feel of her hand about his neck, he began to smother her breast, coating it with the thin haze of his saliva, leaving her nipple glistening and chill as he drew away his mouth from her body.&nbsp; With a caress of her face, he allowed his hand to explore the curves of Kaera’s body, staying clear of her crotch with teasing intentness – it would not serve to commence this too quickly after all.<br><br>Slipping the other side of her nightgown down so that the twin moons of her breast were fully revealed, he lay back to admire her fully and without interruption.&nbsp; Despite it all he was curious to see the two of them, Kaera and Kohaku, side by side even if nothing would come of it.&nbsp; Running a finger around one of Kaera’s nipples without touching it he pondered a great many things.<br><br>“Let us have one of the maids summon the courtesan Kohaku,” he said at last, having decided that he desired them both.

				The patter of soft sandals on the ground and stones outside knocked Kohaku back into reality. Fortunately it was for the best, since she had nearly slipped into another one of her nightmares. It randomly came and it had been a month or two since the nightmare manifested itself. It was a constant reminder of who she was and how she came to bear a secret within herself. Not even the puppy, whose company Kohaku enjoyed, had ever seen her secret. It had been the very thing that attracted the unusual lot to bed with Kohaku. She opened her eyes and turned her head to the door. She sensed a presence and desired for the figure to speak. When a minute passed of light breathing being heard, Kohaku spoke, though rather angry in tone. "What do you want?" she asked.<br><br>She heard a sudden gasp, as if the figure had been frightened by her question. A timid voice spoke, and Kohaku immediately recognized it as one of the maids, her name escaping from Kohaku's mind. "Mistress Rin, Lord Gentatsu asked for your presence in Mistress Kaera's room," she said. Like the moon, Kohaku had two sides. The joyful, optimistic person most people saw was the real Kohaku. But due to a traumatic experience a year ago, Rin manifested herself as Kohaku's dark side. When Kohaku spoke like a joyful, wise woman, Rin was cold, severe and dignified like a dictator. It was only when Kohaku was mistreated or slipped into her nightmare that Rin came out, possibly to protect Kohaku. Only a few people, like this maid, had seen Rin firsthand and lived to tell the tale. This second personality knew everything that Kohaku went through, but Kohaku herself wouldn't recognize any Rin in her memory.<br><br>"Tell them Kohaku is one her way," she said as she climbed out of her cot, in the nude. She grabbed only her black robe and put it on and exited her room, heading straight for Kaera's room. Her gaze was straight and cold as the night sky. Her bare feet were steady on the ground and on the floors of the brothel. Her strong walk told those who were nearby to get out of the way or risk a bruise in the morning.<br><br>Rin arrived at the room just as the maid was leaving. Though cold and hard, she still upheld the standards of Kohaku, whom Rin protected with this facade. Gentatsu was in for a surprise, but Kaera wasn't. If Rin and Kaera were pitted against each other in a fist brawl, it would very hard to determine a winner. Being polite as Kohaku, she knocked on the door, then waited for a response.

				Gentatsu did not say anything immediately, but was content to look at both the women side by side for the time being, though it was not merely for unbridled lust, as might have been the more common perception of inviting two women to one’s bed.&nbsp; If his eyes were appreciative of what they saw, they were also weighing and calculating.&nbsp; Few women found it easy to live with an Uesugi and even more so with Uesugi Gentatsu, though he ensured it was very pleasant for them in the short term.<br><br>“Come in Kohaku-chan,” he said at last with a smile and gesture.&nbsp; There was something a little... off about her, though he could not quite place his finger on it.&nbsp; That being so, he did not waste any time on it, for he was only concerned with what could be had now.&nbsp; To allow a woman like Kaera to languish here would quite a waste, and as for Kohaku... well certainly no good could come of caging any bird, lest it become sickly.<br><br>Unlike most men in the same circumstances, he did not rise to caress and kiss and coax them into bed, nor did greet them in the nude, but kept his modesty covered.&nbsp; He motioned for them to sit or lounge along the bed as they pleased.&nbsp; “Good evening Kohaku-chan, I hope you won’t mind at being called out at this hour of the night?&nbsp; Likewise I hope that Kaera-dono will not mind... I did not mean insult upon your considerable skill or your trade.”<br><br>Looking over the two of them, he considered that it might be a good opportunity to end things now, but it would be a waste of an otherwise pleasant evening.&nbsp; These two women were unique after all, though perhaps more unique than he could guess.

				The door opened for Rin and she found Kaera answering her knocks. The harlot stepped aside, letting the body of Kohaku come into the room. If Gentatsu noticed something a bit ... off ... about Kohaku, he would most likely notice her demeanor. With what little time Kohaku and the man had in the courtyard, he would be most likely to observe her optimistic and carefree expression upon her face. But now, with Rin at the controls of Kohaku, it wouldn't surprise her if Gentatsu observed a certain expression of annoyance, but not towards being called to the Uesugi's room. In fact, she enjoyed the fact that she was going to have a night with Gentatsu, though in the presence of Kaera as well. Her annoyance seemed to stem from a certain maid as well, but it would be too much of a night to start loathing her as well.<br><br>At Gentatsu's gestures to come in, Rin came more further into the room, approaching the bed with the same gracefulness that Kohaku had with her shamisen. "I don't mind, Gentatsu-dono," Rin said simply to his question. Not a woman to make herself at home in a room which Kaera only allowed her clients that privilege, she humbly sat on the edge of the bed, as far enough away from the Uesugi. Even at this moment, Gentatsu was still Kaera client and Rin dared not to intrude too far. She let the ornate cloak about her nude body fall off her right shoulder, exposing the fair skin. If it wasn't for her long silver hair, Rin would have exposed too much. With a gentle hand, she pulled the cloak back onto her shoulder, but let Gentatsu to have a little appetizer of her collar-bone. "May I ask the reason of calling up me at this hour?"

				Rin saw how her position on the bed made Kaera feel superior over her. Her only reason for sitting so far from the client was to make Kaera think that she knew her place, but Rin absolutely knew her place. Though this body was undesirable for some reason to the majority of clients, Kohaku deserved better, and Rin was her method of reaching her place, though no knowledge of Rin's dealings reached Kohaku's ears. Rin watched as Kaera slipped into her own position, seemingly on Gentatsu's lap. She would wait awhile before making her own move in this little game.<br><br>Deciding to now move into a more, efficient position on the bed, Rin crawled over to Gentatsu's empty side, leaving the thin cloak in her wake. The thin fabric flowed over of the body of Kohaku with such grace and majesty, she almost looked like the demon that gave her her insulting names. Clearly, she wore nothing under the cloak and her curves were there for all to see. The long silver hair all the more emphasized the crawling body. Rin made it to Gentatsu's opposite side, positioning herself a bit on his side and a bit behind him. Her soft breasts squeezed as she leaned in, one arm wrapping around the side Kaera was on and another wrapping around the other side. Rin grouped the strands of silver hair over her left shoulder before resting her head on Gentatsu's shoulder.

				Looking over the two women, Gentatsu couldn’t help but fail to conceal a smile, though it was not derisive.&nbsp; It seemed that his initial evaluation that there was some sort of rivalry between the two had been right, but evidently they would keep it suppressed, at least for a time.&nbsp; Still he did not mind that, at the very least he felt that he might uncover something of their personalities this night if he probed in the right places.&nbsp; Despite this, he felt that there might be some manner of similarity between them, even if that was an irony unto itself.<br><br>Taking the two by their waists, he pulled two against the firmness of his toned body.&nbsp; The sake he had drunk earlier had began to settle and his body was felt hot, almost unbearable, though he was not so far gone that he was unable to appreciate the beauty of these two ladies of the night.&nbsp; He grazed his lips against Kaera’s neck, caressing her back all the way down to the small of her waist, before setting his tongue to Kohaku’s chest, stopping just short of licking at her nipple.&nbsp; Instead he looked upward and kissed the underside of chin, his fingers playing through her silver locks.<br><br>With his free hand, he gently pushed Kaera to lay sprawling across his lap, his hand running down her chest and gently cupping and caressing her breasts, his fingers playing upon her delicate pink nipple.&nbsp; Reaching up with his other hand, he took Kohaku’s chin between his fingers, bringing her eyes to look into his.&nbsp; The scene might have been such that a pale satyr straddled two lovely nymphs upon his legs as he kept the both of them in play.<br><br>“Again, I do apologise for having you here at this hour Kohaku,” he smiled, a smile that might have been gentle to a stranger, as he gave one of Kaera’s nipples a gentle pinch.&nbsp; “I was curious as to why an obvious beauty such as yourself had been unfairly relegated to the last position in line – clearly you are anything but.&nbsp; If I have rushed this, it is a <em>little</em> unfortunate, but I do have my duties and cannot spend more nights here than are necessary, and thought this might be a good chance to get to know the both of you.&nbsp; Will you tell me, Kohaku-chan?”<br><br>Placing his head between the twin moons of her breasts, he kissed he lightly before turning slightly to look at Kaera, running his hand over her stomach to the smooth ivory curve of her waist.&nbsp; Her sex was still covered by her shift, and it would take little effort to bare her to public view, but not yet.&nbsp; That was not to say he was not curious, for the arrangement of her fabric was curious, as though to carefully conceal.&nbsp; But there was yet time, and he turned his head back to Kohaku.

				As Kohaku's body was pulled by the waist against the firmness of Gentatsu's body, Rin showed no expression of pleasure. It was as if she was just a porcelain doll being embraced by a child. Not even the closing of her eyes, the imagination of the sensation of Kohaku's body up against the warmth of this man could even be shown in the moment. Where Kaera had showed the truth on her face, Rin was expressionless. She although relaxed in the manner Kohaku would have relaxed. <br><br>Her eyes turned as Gentatsu grazed his lips against the woman's neck and petted her all along her back, like if her skin were a tiger's fur that tempted even the child to caress it. Rin watched the man's mouth ascend from Kaera's neck and descend upon Kohaku's chest, the moist muscle from within his mouth protruding out and landing at the base of one of her breasts. He lifted his tongue just short of licking the brown, perky circle at the center of her breast. Rin assumed that not only was this man enjoying the company of the women in this room, but he also had the dignity to be romantic, though more to Kohaku. Did Kohaku seduce this man with her optimism? Rin thought. Not even a look of disgust could surface on Kohaku's face as Gentatsu kiss underneath her chin. It was still Kohaku's body and it behaved in the same way she would move. As the lips made contact with the skin underneath her chin, her head tilted back, freeing the locks of hair that sat on her shoulder. The silvery locks was a rare sight and this man had his chance to play with them. He would feel a silky feeling in the hair, not like hard fibers which many people thought Kohaku's hair was made of.<br><br>When he was done, Kaera was then laid, her back against his lap. She was like a piece of meat, a variety of textures and flesh to dig in. Gentatsu ran his hand down her chest as if she were the table he ate from. He squeezed her breasts as if they were the rice cakes he ate for breakfast. Below Kohaku's head lay Kaera's, and the expression on her face were true. Causality had its hand in the moment. As Gentatsu caressed the woman in his lap, she showed her enjoyment through her face and her audible moans. Kohaku would do the same if she were in this woman's position, though not with Rin in her mind at this moment.<br><br>His other hand took Kohaku's chin, causing her to break her stoic stare at the head below her own and bringing her eyes up to look into his. She stared blankly, showing no expression that Kohaku would have. If he noticed by now, she did not show the sincerity and optimist outlook that Kohaku had. If he noticed, he sure was keeping his observations a secret from both of them. He then spoke, directing his speech to Kohaku.<br><br>After he briefly placed his head in between her breasts, receiving a light kiss in the process, and caressed Kaera stomach, he turned to Kohaku. Rin answered back, though speaking as if she was not Kohaku. "I believe you may have heard the rumors that goes around in town, especially around the brothel. That Kohaku was the result of her mother mating with a demon or that she herself is a demon in human form. Kohaku is relegated to the last position in line because she tends to attract clients that are not the usual. Does this satisfy your knowledge or do I need to clarify some more?" Her brief explanation would seem to be like Rin loathed being there, but in truth she only stayed to honor Kohaku's own choosing. Her optimism would cause her to spend more time with Gentatsu, even though it was with Kaera.

				Gentatsu paused in his ministrations to look over the girl that was Kohaku.&nbsp; Certainly the outside was the girl, but it did not seem to match the personality anymore that did a wolf in a sheep’s skin.&nbsp; He was not distressed, but merely enthralled.&nbsp; Cruelty in a woman did not repulse him, in fact, some part of him secretly delighted in it, though likewise another part of him pinned for the cheery optimism that blossomed form pure innocence.&nbsp; The duality itself in this woman was enthralling, like watching a white bloom flowering in a bloody field.<br><br>He listened to what she had to say about herself without comment or emotion.&nbsp; There was a certain brutal cynicism in the way he laid Kaera&nbsp; upon the ground as he disengaged from Kohaku, and stripped the dark-haired courtesan further, though not enough to reveal her sex, either by accident or design.&nbsp; Upon her query, he looked down upon Kaera, caressing her breast, his concentration seemed to be equally split between seeking pleasure at the contact of soft skin and seriously entertaining Kohaku’s question.&nbsp; He did not place a great deal of stock in the supernatural, but it wouldn’t have mattered one way or the other whether it was real or not.<br><br>Lying on his side, beside Kaera, head propped upon his fist, he did not speak immediately.&nbsp; The situation was not one conductive to arousal and may have chilled another more superstitious to now be in that very room, yet it was ironic that he felt a certain perverse elation, a sexual thrill that had not previously been there.&nbsp; “Do you then claim to be such a demon Kohaku-chan, or at least descended of one?&nbsp; Perhaps it is such a rumour that attracts the kind of patrons that you usually have, foolish little men thinking of conquering a demon through sexual conquest.”<br><br>For the first time that evening, Gentatsu gave out a laugh, one that might have seemed gentle to a stranger, though perhaps it was more in mockery of those fools he had spoken of. &nbsp;“What do you think, my sweet little Kaera-chan?”&nbsp; If there was one thing Gentatsu was noted for it his ability to switch the focus of his conversation, his concentration moving wholly from one person to the other, as if any other in the room did not seem to exist or matter.&nbsp; Wrapping her midnight locks between his fingers, he pulled until the older courtesan arched her back, before he set his lips to hers.<br><br>When he finally did pull away, it was to look at Kohaku fully in the eyes, even though he played a finger across the other’s lips.&nbsp; <em>Well, most of what he had heard and learned of seemed to fit, at least for the most part.</em>&nbsp; Reaching down without looking, he pulled up the folds of Kaera’s garments to reveal the deviant sexual organ upon her hips without any real surprise on his part.&nbsp; “I will be pleased to hear more of you, but for now there is no need to taint our evening with pasts best spoken of over sake cups,” he nodded congenially before pulling Kaera’s nightgown higher to bare her waist completely.&nbsp; “Mount her.”<br><br>Even if his eyes were playful, the command did not leave much room for discussion, but his tone seemed dispassionate, almost as a challenge he didn’t expect the silver-haired beauty to go ahead with.&nbsp; In his own way, he was testing to see how much will and independence this more sinister side of Kohaku had.&nbsp; Moreover, it was also time to give Kaera a reward for being so patient.&nbsp; In a way, it was all beautifully and exquisitely cruel, but it was quite doubtful that any present found much delight in honeyed discourse and gentle stimulation...

				Kaera watched Kohaku crawl over the bed to Gentatsu's other side, letting her clothing slide off fo her body.&nbsp; Kaera's eyes slid all over the beautiful skin of the lesser woman.&nbsp; Her urge to push Gentatsu aside almost overwhelmed her, but she kept her professional dignity.&nbsp; After Gentatsu was satisfied and asleep, Kaera would have her own fun.&nbsp; She also felt a little miffed at how Kohaku was attempting to take over the situation.&nbsp; She wanted to put her in her place, but that was for later.&nbsp; A client should never see his ladies of the night squabble, unless he saught something along those lines.<br><br>Kaera turned her attention back to Gentatsu and returned the smile he was letting slip through his cool exterior.&nbsp; He felt his hand slide around her waist but saw it go around Kohaku's as well as he pulled them both in close to his body.&nbsp; Kaera felt her skin heat up as Gentatsu's lips caressed her neck and his hand stroked her body all the way down to the small of her back.&nbsp; She was still aflame with passion as she watched him lick one of Kohaku' nipples then kiss her chin.<br><br>She felt herself being pushed by Gentatsu's strong hand and laid herself out on his lap.&nbsp; A sigh and a smile escaped her lips as his hand caressed her breasts and her nipples were oh so gently touched by his fingers.&nbsp; She chose to ignore the attention he was giving to Kohaku while he continued to dance his hands and fingers across her body, gently pinching one of her nipples.&nbsp; She felt his hand move down her stomach and instantly became nervous...if he kept going he'd find something that not *all* men wanted to see on their 'lady' of the night.&nbsp; Fortnuately, his attention returned to Kohaku.&nbsp; She also ignored the answer she gave to Gentatsu's question, instead just enjoying the fingures playing across her body.<br><br>She felt herself abandoned as she was laid on the ground, but then she felt herself getting undressed by the man.&nbsp; Kaera was about to halt him before uncovering her waist, but he stopped.&nbsp; He began to caress her breast once more.&nbsp; Getatsu laid down beside her an dKaera found herself getting more and more aroused by him.&nbsp; Something in his calm patience gnawed at her and she wanted to see him let loose and go at her with abandon.<br><br>Her focus was brought back to the here-and-now when she heard her name.&nbsp; Gentatsu asked what she thought, but she had not been paying attention.&nbsp; So she shifted to a general answer that usually satisfied.&nbsp; "I think you should start enjoying our bodies more intimately before the night ends and you find yourself paying for more." she was about to give him a teasing smile but the her hair was pulled.&nbsp; She gasped and arched her back but was silenced from a kiss.&nbsp; He pulled away and looked at Kohaku, leaving Kaera in a not-quite-comfortable position.&nbsp; Suddenly her clothing was gone and her erection stood tall and throbbing between her legs, hiding the moist folds of her pussy from view.&nbsp; Kaera's heart stopped a moment as she expected to be abused and rejected.&nbsp; Instead, Gentatsu gave Kohaku a simple command; mount kaera.&nbsp; Turning her head, Kaera gave Kohaku a sly smile as within herself she said 'about time'.
