Chapter 24: A Seductive Sparrow
Rin stopped outside of the room and listened carefully for any noises inside. She hoped that Manji had not yet returned. She could not hear any noises coming from inside the room, so she slowly opened the shoji and stepped quietly inside. She looked around inside and saw that the room was empty. She sighed thankfully, releasing the breath she did not realize she was holding in. She walked into the sleeping area and quickly changed into a bathing kimono. She decided she would quickly set out breakfast then when Manji returned she would go for a bath. When she finished dressing she sat down at the table in the dining area and began to set up the food the maid had brought by while she was not in the room. Just then Rin heard the shoji open and close and she looked up to see who had entered. Not to her surprise, Manji had returned.
Manji looked at Rin with an almost feral smirk. They were alone again and his desires from earlier were yet to be satiated. He walked over behind Rin, almost as if he was stalking his prey and sank down behind her. He wrapped his arms around her slight frame and this startled Rin.
Rin almost jumped when Manji wrapped his arms around her waist. She was not used to him being like this and it would take some getting used to, but she didn't mind that thought at all. However, she was still a bit perturbed at his earlier outbursts this morning and thought it would be almost too much fun to tease the man now settled behind her. Doa had once told her that nothing is more fun than making a man wait for the one thing he wants most of all.
Manji started to bury his head in Rin's hair. She always smelled so good and now that he had her all to himself he was going to enjoy taking his time with her, but just as he was about to move his hands inside her kimono, Rin quickly stood up and slipped out of his grasp. Manji let out a loud groan in displeasure and shot Rin a quick glare.
"What the hell did I do wrong now woman?" Manji asked, annoyed with her distance.
"I still haven't forgiven you for this morning Manji-san." Rin stated, barely able to conceal her smirk. "Besides I am going for a bath. Breakfast is set up for you. I am not hungry just yet."
With that Rin began to walk towards the shoji to leave the room, however Manji grabbed her wrist and stopped her from going any further.
"For fuck sakes Rin, it's not like I killed anyone or anything."
"You were rude Manji-san. When you have learned manners then we can continue from this morning." Rin knew this probably wouldn't work but she thought it wouldn't hurt to try.
Manji grumbled and swore some more under his breath. "Women were all the same..." He thought, "They are all a pain in the ass, especially when they learn a man's weakness. Then another thought occurred to him, "Two can play this game."
"Fine by me. Looks like you're gonna be waiting a while too then cause I ain't apologizing for shit when it comes to that brat and his annoying mother anymore."
Rin huffed and her nostrils flared, and she swiftly removed herself from Manji's grasp, "FINE!" With that she quickly left the room and headed down to the bath. This was not how she wanted the situation to go at all. Why did Manji have to be such a pig-headed scoundrel all the time? She hoped that once he realized she meant what she said he would apologize. He always did after all.
Manji sighed. How was such a scrawny female easily able to get him so angry? Manji stared at his food. He knew he would just give in to her when she came back but for now he almost enjoyed the thought of her being frustrated. "If I'm not getting what I want right now, why should she? Who knows, maybe this time she will give in for once?" Manji snorted, and his thoughts continued, "As if, she doesn't do anything without a fuss."
Rin had just made it downstairs and past the dining room when she was stopped by a familiar voice, "Rin-chan. Are you going for a bath?"
Rin turned around and replied, "Hai. Are you as well Suzume-chan?"
"Hai Rin-chan. Please lead the way." Suzume gestured for Rin to contine to lead the way to the bath.
Rin nodded, but when she turned around to head towards the bath again she suddenly felt a swift, hard blow to the back of her head and everything went black. Rin sank to the floor, but Suzume reacted quickly and caught her before she fell. "I'm sorry Rin-chan, I truly am, but you have left me no other choice. You should have accepted Washi-chan's offer while you had the chance." Suzume clutched Rin in her arms almost protectively and ran her hand gently over the milky smooth skin of Rin's face and whispered, "You would have been such a wonderful daughter. Maybe someday you will forgive me for what I must do."
Suzume waved to the men who had accompanied her back to the Inn. "Take her to the cabin. If even one hair is harmed on her head I will have yours on a stake." She warned.
Rin awoke with a throbbing headache and her entire body was sore. She couldn't move and realized she was gagged. She looked around. The room she was in was dark, except for small flecks of light creeping in through cracks in the wooden window coverings. It looked as though she were in some wooden shack. She had no idea where she was or how she got there. All she knew was that she was not in a good situation. She tried to move her fingers only to feel her hands were bound. She moved her feet only to find the same result. Suddenly she felt a rush of cold air hit her skin and she shuddered. It was then that she looked down and realized she was still only in her bathing kimono. Just then the door to the room creaked open, but all Rin could see enter was a large black figure. She sucked in a scared breath as a familiar voice greeted her.
"Hello Asano Rin."
Rin's eyes widened as she realized who was now standing directly in front of her. The person crouched down and grasped her face in their hands.
"Today, you shall learn what happens when you cross my path young kenshi."
Suzume climbed the stairs to where Rin and Manji were staying. She knew Manji would be inside waiting for Rin to return. She figured she had some time before he realized she was not going to return. Suzume smirked to herself. Her plan was almost perfect. Yes, she would perform her duty, and then finally she and her son would be free.
Suzume quietly stepped to the shoji. It was closed. She could hear someone stirring inside and smirked. He was here, good. She lightly tapped on the shoji and waited for an answer. Inside she could hear Manji get up and walk to the shoji. He opened the door and glared when he saw who was standing there.
"Rin's not here." He hissed. This woman was the last person he wanted to see right now.
"Yes, I know, she is in the bath. I just ran into her a few moments ago." Suzume kept her voice controlled and almost at a whisper.
"The what the fuck are you here for?" Manji's patience was wearing thin.
"I was hoping to speak with you samurai-san." Suzume's voice now took on a slightly more seductive tone.
Manji did not fail to notice Suzume's change in tone but paid it no mind, "Make it quick woman. What the hell do you want?"
"May I come in samurai-san? It's not polite to have conversations in the hallway."
Manji grunted, "Fine." Then walked back into the room.
Suzume stepped inside and closed the shoji behind herself. She followed Manji into the dining area. Manji sat back down at the table to finish his meal. He looked down at his rice then over to where Suzume was standing. "If you have something to say, say it already. Then you can get the fuck out."
Suzume wanted to glare at the rudeness of the man in front of her but merely stuck to her plan. She slowly walked closer to him and sat nearby. She took a deep breath and readied herself for what she was about to do.
Manji stared at her, waiting for her to speak, then quickly got tired of waiting, "Well woman? What the fuck do you want?"
Suzume then began to speak, "Samurai-san...Manji-san, I wish to apologize for my rude intrusion earlier this morning. Gomenasai for waking you and Rin-chan so early. I was merely worried about my son. Please allow me to make it up to you." With that Suzume took a deep breath and moved closer to Manji, until she was sitting right beside him. She moved her hands up to the top of her kimono and began to slowly slide it off of her shoulders.
Manji looked at her, hiding his suspicions, then spoke huskily, "You have my attention..."
