"The Ōoku was silent save for the chirping of crickets, pale moonlight filtering through the windows of its halls. Here, in one of the most protected and decorated areas of the palace, the wife, concubines, heirs, and servants of the shogun slumbered peacefully. The air was cool and calm, as if the Ōoku was cradled in the arms of the night herself. One concubine, however, was not content to stay in the tranquility and safety of this protected interior. A quiet patter of feet and occasional flashes of crimson hair gave away Sora's flight from the area. If anyone was watching, that is. He'd just managed to leave the Ōoku when, upon turning a corner, he slammed into someone and went sprawling on the floor." "Shit, shit, shit," "he cursed under his breath, crawling backwards on his elbows, when he looked up and noticed Bunnquy."

"Sora looked up through his lashes at Hanzo with a look of mild embarrassment as he gingerly took the proffered hand." "Thank you so much. I wasn't watching where I was going." "As he stood up, Sora clung to Hanzo's arm, feeling the heat of his body close to him and reveling in it. The blush on his cheeks deepened. He smoothed down his clothes, willing his hands not to shake." "You're Hanzo-sama, aren't you? It's an honor to meet you."

"Sora's eyes darted away, a fleeting glimmer of fear flickering in their depths before he composed himself. He smiled brightly, his lips curving up to reveal slightly pointed teeth." "Oh, I'm... um... a new concubine. You see, I just arrived recently, and I'm still finding my way around the palace." "His voice was melodious, but Sora's gaze remained downcast, avoiding direct eye contact. The moon above seemed to pulse in rhythm with his racing heart, and he held his breath, waiting for Hanzo's response."

"Sora's hands trembled for a moment before he lifted his gaze to meet Hanzo's. The shogun's eyes bored into his own, and he felt his stomach twist in trepidation." "I-I'm Sora Kaneko, Hanzo-sama. Like I said, I only just arrived recently. Perhaps it was while you were away on business?" "He hoped that he sounded confident, but he couldn't be sure. His pulse pounded in his ears, and his skin prickled with sweat."

"Sora's heart sank at Hanzo's words. He was trapped, with no way out of this situation." "Y-yes, that was me," "he said, his voice barely above a whisper." "I... I didn't mean to deceive you. Please, don't be angry." "He looked up at Hanzo with pleading eyes, hoping against hope that the shogun would forgive him."

"Sora's breath caught in his throat at Hanzo's observations. He had hoped to remain unseen, unremembered - to live freely in the palace without drawing attention. But now it seemed his secret was out."

"That is correct, Hanzo-sama," "he replied softly." "We have not been intimate. As for your memory...I possess some magic. A gift that allows me to become invisible to those I do not wish to see me." "His cheeks flushed in embarrassment at having to confess." "I used it to shield myself from view all these years. But it seems it has failed me now." "He gazed up at Hanzo pleadingly." "Please, you must know I meant no disrespect. I only wished for my freedom."

"Sora met Hanzo's gaze steadily, knowing any sign of dishonesty or fear would only hurt his case." "It is not intimacy that frightens me," "he said truthfully." "Rather, it is the loss of self that comes with being merely one of many." "His lips quirked ruefully."

"I have watched so many of the other concubines lose themselves in vying for your favor. Ever grasping, ever competitive." "Sora shook his head." "That is not the life for me. I desire one partner who sees me, and me alone." "His expression softened as he added," "If such a thing could ever be allowed for one as lowly as I."

"Sora lowered his eyes, lips curving in a small smile of gratitude and relief." "You are most kind, Hanzo-sama." "He nodded in acquiescence." "You have my word - no magic shall cloud your sight of me again. Though I must admit, it will take some adjustment to walk these halls without my shield."

"Lifting his gaze, Sora regarded Hanzo thoughtfully." "Might I ask another small favor, in return for your generous concession? While I will not hide from you, I would request that my presence here remain known only to you. The others..." "he hesitated," "well, freedom is fragile where competition reigns. I would not last long once word spreads of my...circumstances."

"A teasing glint entered his eyes." "Unless of course, you wish for me to entertain your esteemed guests? I offer a talent for song that some find...bewitching." "The subtle challenge was lighthearted, but conveyed his meaning well - he would not be paraded or bartered without consent."

"Sora fell into step beside Hanzo, graceful as a dancer despite his bound feet." "Humility serves little purpose when one's worth lies not in status but skill," "he replied airily."

"As for secrets..." "He pondered a moment." "A few know me, though none closely. Minor concubines, servants - those who pass like shadows through these halls. They see without seeing; we converse but leave no impression." "His lips curved once more in that enigmatic smile."

"Such is the way when one prefers to observe over be observed. But you..." "Sora turned his keen gaze fully upon Hanzo." "You see me. As I see you, shogun-sama." "He inclined his head, expression inscrutable." "What will you choose to do with what you see?"

"A prudent policy," "Sora replied, matching Hanzo's smile." "Pleasure shared is joy doubled - pleasure taken leaves only hollowness."

"As they walked, he gazed about the opulent Ōoku with curious eyes, ever observant." "Such decadence, yet for all its beauty there remains an...emptiness. Like ornate cages, these walls constrain as much as they protect."

"Turning to Hanzo, Sora's expression softened with empathy." "A heavy burden, to rule so many. But a wise leader knows when to open the door, and let caged birds taste the sky once more." "His smile took on a gently encouraging cast." "You are that kind of leader, I think. And the Ōoku will thrive all the more for your benevolence."
