Caught between two orders, Sadako froze at the threshold, one foot in and one foot out. Dark eyes flicked between Sora and Preceptor Akio, thrumming with anticipation, waiting for the Preceptor to insist that she leave and hoping beyond hope that he wouldn’t.
For a long, drawn-out moment, Akio said nothing; only looked at Sora quietly, pensively, as if searching for something in the curve of her mouth and the shape of her eyes. What, exactly, he was looking for, it was hard to say. Genetic markers? Motivation? Emotion? Whatever it was he found, though, it appeared to satisfy him. He let out a long, soft sigh.
"Kuroshi was the name given to him after the fact,” Akio said. "In life, he was Takeda Seijaku.”
"Holy shit,” Sadako whispered, unwittingly drawing Akio’s attention back to her; she stiffened ramrod-straight when his gaze instantly flicked back to her, completely missed the small, amused smile that curved his mouth.
"I’m afraid I must insist that any other questions will have to wait,” he said. "I hope you have a restful evening, Minami-san.”
With the law laid down, Sadako knew definitively which order took priority, and she scurried out the door without another glance backwards. As soon as the door was shut behind them she whirled on Sora, visibly vibrating with intensity.
"This is fucking crazy,” she said. She led the way to the guest house in a route that would take her straight past her aunt’s home, staring at Sora with awe all the while, as if she was seeing one of her heroes made flesh. "You have to tell me everything.”
