Samurai Inc. 17 "Shiro In Crisis" I've been feeling weird for the last few weeks. I keep getting these feeling that something is going to happen that will totally change my world and me as well. I don't know what to do about these damn strange dreams of these feelings. Even sticking close to Sammo isn't happening at all. I am beginning to feel like I've taken a step outside of myself and watching myself slowly go to pieces like it was some kind of damn movie. Dad is worried about me and I can tell. I just don't know how to explain the shit that's going on inside of me. It's fucking driving me crazy! I wonder if I should jet out to Peckertown and spend some time with Zeus. I can't exactly go to a normal shrink out here. Everything would come apart and everything I have now would be yanked away from me in mere moments. I won't let that happen. What's even worse is the dreams. I keep dreaming of an old man standing with a shadow over his face. He doesn't say anything to me but something about him is familiar to me. I can't figure out why he is familiar to me. Like I said, it's driving me crazy and I can feel my sanity slipping. "Are you okay, Shiro?" Sammo asked me one afternoon. He's been worried about me and he's been trying to help me. "I don't know, love. I feel like I'm slowly losing my mind and can't do a thing about it," I admitted. "I can't stop it." "What if it's something about the near future?" Neil asked. That was an interesting thought. I'd have to think about that one for a bit. "I don't know," I said after a moment. I went to sit down and think about that for a bit as I sipped my usual cup of tea. Usually a cup of hot tea relaxes me but not this time. I decided to go and work out for a bit. I went into the training room that we used to practice our fighting techniques and started my workout. I gave that up a few minutes later. I just couldn't get anything going. I went up to my room and lay in bed with the headphones on, listening to Kitaro. Sammo came in a moment later and started to massage my back, hoping it would relax me. It actually worked and I went to sleep. I had the dream again. He stood there and slowly raised his hand out to me. That scared the shit out of me and I woke up quickly, sweating and my heart pounding. I checked the time. It was two in the morning. Damn. I lay there for a bit longer and couldn't get back to sleep at all. I finally got up and dressed in warm clothes and strapped my ninja-to on my back and went for a run. I pushed myself hard and ran four miles trying to exhaust myself so I could sleep. I got back and collapsed in a chair in the Great Room. I fell asleep again and the dream repeated its self again. I leaped up and drew my ninja-to lightning fast and then realized I was standing in the living room of the house. I was shaking so bad it wasn't funny. I put my sword back in the scabbard and wrapped my arms around me and just shook. I was truly scared now. Nagasaki, Japan The black clad man moved silently, well practiced at the art of sneaking. He quietly entered the bedroom and moved to the bed of a sleeping man. He looked down at him and smiled. The sleeper moved and then woke up. He stared into the eyes of the person next to his bed in surprise and shock. (Ninja?) he asked in fear. The black clad figure smiled. (Of course. Who else would it be?) The sleeper trembled. (What do you want of me?) (For you to confess to your wrongdoing that ended the Clan Onashi,) the man said to the sleeper. The sleeper reacted to that. (How do you know of that?) (I know all, Mukku-san. How you sold Onashi-san out to the North Koreans,) the ninja whispered. (Better to confess your crimes and face justice in a court than to have me come again to deliver a very swift justice to you.) Mukku jumped out of his bed to face the ninja, but he had disappeared. The man trembled as he counted himself lucky to be alive still. He turned to the table by his bed and quickly poured himself a shot of scotch and downed it quickly. He had known that sooner or later his past would catch up and he would have to pay the price of his actions. Now he needed to plan his next moves carefully and if he didn't, his head would be forcibly removed. The thought scared him so he took another shot of scotch. He quickly dressed and headed out. He had work to do. Unknown to him, the ninja followed him discretely at a distance. The ninja knew he was making his moves to cover up his actions that had caused him to be incarcerated in North Korea. He felt a flash of anger but controlled it and cast it aside. It would not do for him to lose control of himself. He had known that the Clan fortune was lost to him forever and he didn't care about that. What was more important to him was to clear his name and restore his Honor before the nation and to find his family. He hoped they were alive and well. He looked up to see Mukku step into the train car and he slipped into one behind his. He observed Mukku during the twenty-minute train ride into the city. The man was nervous and kept looking around as if he was expecting something to leap out at him. The ninja smiled to himself. Fear was an excellent motivator. It can make people do things before thinking, and usually in the end it can be their undoing. In this case Mukku was already dead. He just didn't know it yet. The ninja was after the evidence he needed to clear the name Onashi. After obtaining that, he then would send him Onward. Logan's Mountain, Colorado I sighed and looked out the window. The snow fell gently to the ground and it looked so peaceful. But inside of me was a raging storm of emotions, questions, and anguish. I just didn't know what to do anymore. I got up from the chair by the window and wandered the house. Everyone had gone into town and I was stuck on monitor duty. That never bothered me, but today it did. The silence in the house bothered me. I went to the TV/audio room and turned on the stereo and put a Metallica CD in. I kicked back in a lounger and listened to James Hetfield growl from the surround sound speakers. The Black CD seemed to fit my mood and it eased my mind for a bit. After it was done, I put it back in the CD rack and sat down again and stretched out. I conked out for a bit and had the dream again. This time the man revealed himself to be a ninja with a bloody sword. I leaped off the couch screaming, waving an MP-5 around the room, my heart going a thousand miles a minute. I searched the house carefully, looking for the ninja. I finally calmed down, realizing it was just a nightmare. I stumbled to the bar in the corner of the Great Room and chugged a glass of scotch and made a face. I decided to stick to soda from then on. I sat and looked out the window and then finally decided I was going to Peckertown to see Zeus. If anyone can help me, it would be him. I needed help, and I couldn't do this alone anymore. I went upstairs and packed a big duffle, slipping a short katana inside it. I wrote a note to Dad, forwarded the phones to his cell, and locked the house securely. I jogged to the hangar containing the planes we used for our work and dragged out the WW2 plane, a F4U Corsair Dad had recently acquired and started it up after checking everything and stowing my bag. One of the nice things about the plane was that it had a canopy that could be closed. I started it and warmed it up as I adjusted the electronics and set the trip computer. It would plot my route for me after I gave it the arrival location. Once it was properly warmed up, I rolled it out to the runway and brought it up to speed, and then zoomed down the runway and lifted her into the air. I was on my way to Peckertown and hopefully the answers I sought. Setting the autopilot, I leaned back and let my thoughts drift. So much had happened to me in the last two, three years. Losing Grandpa, moving to America for Dad's company, losing Mom and Dad, getting involved in the drug and gun ring, meeting Logan who later became my Dad, starting Samurai Inc. with him, and meeting Sammo and committing myself to him. Life certainly pulled me in interesting directions. I don't know of very many guys my age who have gone through something like I have. The radio crackled to life and I quickly paid attention. What I heard next chilled my blood. "Mayday! Mayday!" the woman's voice cried. I pulled the headset down into place and tripped the mike. "This is Samurai Inc. calling the mayday, what's your emergency?" "My husband's had a heart attack!" she cried. Oh God. I hope she can fly, because she's got to set that plane down in one piece. "My name is Shiro," I said, introducing myself. "Just calm down and relax. I have you on my radar and will be right there in a moment." "Thank you! I'm Carolyn," she said. "Carolyn, I'm flying a WW2 fighter, a F4U Corsair. I'm approaching you on your left side," I said, coming up on the left side of a single engine Cessna. I could see the lady on the right side of the plane look out the window at me. I decided to move over to her right side so I could see her better. "I'm going to drop down and move over to your right underneath you. Just relax and keep your plane level," I said to her as I moved the plane down a few feet and then crossed over to the right underneath her. The landing gear appeared to be intact and I sighed. Good. That wouldn't be a problem. I moved up on her right until I was level with her plane again. She looked relieved to see me. I checked my GPS and found the nearest airport. Lucky me, it was a military base. "Samurai Inc. calling Allus AFB air control," I called into the lip mike. The response was instant. "Allus air control to Samurai Inc. we have your copy." I reported the problem and requested assistance. They answered and said they would have an ambulance waiting for the plane when it landed. "Roger that," I replied. I turned to Carolyn. Now I had to coach her to safely land the plane. This wasn't going to be easy. "Carolyn, you are going to have to land the plane. Don't worry, I'll help you all the way. Just do exactly what I tell you and you'll be fine. The military base you are landing at has an ambulance waiting to help," I told her. "Thank you," she cried. "Now take a deep breath and let it out slowly. You need to be calm," I said. Checking the computer, I noted the distance to the base landing strip. We were two miles out. I relaxed and started giving her instructions. She did a hell of a good job, setting the plane down on the runway perfectly. I made a second pass and saw the paramedics treating the husband on the ground. I pointed the Corsair's nose into the sky and climbed to a thousand. "Allus air control to Samurai, nice job kid," the voice said. "Did what I had to do," I said. "Thanks for being there," the voice said. "Anytime," I replied. I pointed the nose of the Corsair towards Peckertown. Time to get going. Nagasaki, Japan. The ninja watched as Mukku got off the train and walked into the business district. It was obvious where Mukku was going. (Ah, very nice. Hide the evidence in the most obvious place. I must commend you, Mukku-san. Very smart) the ninja thought to himself. He watched Mukku enter the company that had been his once. He moved around to the back of the building and slipped in the back door. He approached a bookcase in an unused storeroom and opened a fuse panel next to it. He pushed one of the switches and the bookcase popped open, swinging to the left on well oiled hinges. The ninja slipped through the bookcase and closed the secret door, securing it from the inside. He turned and quickly scaled a rope ladder up to the penthouse on the fourth floor. He peeked through the spy hole to make sure the coast was clear and then slipped into the room through the hidden door in the wood paneling. His old office had changed. No longer the traditional art of Japan that he found comfort it, the office was done in a much more modern way. The room felt very alien to him. He turned and hid in a secret closet in another corner of the room. He was glad to see the small packs containing his ninja gear still in place along with his ninja-to swords. He peeked through the spy hole and watched Mukku pull on a picture and open the wall safe. He hoped the combination hadn't been changed. He watched Mukku pull out paper from the safe and look it over and then put it back in. The ninja hoped it would be what he sought. Well, he'd find out soon enough. He watched Mukku put the papers back and go to the bar in the other corner and make himself a drink. Mukku drank two quick glasses of the scotch and then reached for the telephone. He dialed a number and the ninja's keen hearing picked out the tones and committed them to memory. That was a strong clue. (Hello? Is Ambassador Yu there?) Mukku asked. The ninja blinked. The Korean ambassador involved! Now things were slowly starting to make sense. (Please tell him that Mukku-san called, thank you very much,) Mukku said and hung up the phone. He sat at the great desk and drummed his fingers for a bit and then picked up the phone once more. The ninja listened to the tones as a new number was dialed. (Hello? Mukku-san for Ambassador Yu. Good evening. I am calling to warn you of a problem I have encountered,) Mukku said. The ninja listened to Mukku's side of the conversation and knew he was talking about him. Yu was very involved in some kind of conspiracy that Mukku had cooked up. Part of it had to do with removing him from the company so Mukku could have full control at this end. The problem was finding out what it was. Mukku used several strange words and the ninja wondered what they referred to. He quickly made a plan. First the safe in the wall, and then the great desk. Then back to Mukku's house to toss it. When he heard Mukku mention the Emperor Akahito, he listened carefully. (If we play things out just right, he will give me a military contract and then I shall be privy to all of the secrets,) Mukku said. He came close to charging out of his hiding spot and taking Mukku's head. He fought down the urge to do so and listened to the rest of the call. Mukku ended the call and left the office. The ninja listened for a few minutes more and then slipped out of the closet and into the office. He saw his reflection in the mirror and removed his ninja mask. He looked at himself once more, the once daimyo of Clan Onashi looking back. (I will stop you, Mukku-san. I swear this on the Honor of Clan Onashi!) he growled to himself. Onashi turned to the picture and opened it. He worked the safe and was glad to see the combination still worked. He looked at the papers in the safe and saw it was all the evidence he needed to stop Mukku. He ran the originals through the copy machine and slipped them into a pocket of his ninja suit. He turned back to the hidden closet and gathered up his gear. Onashi slipped back through the hidden door and slid down the rope back to the ground floor. He avoided the security with ease. (Sloppy work,) he chided. (I would enjoy the chance to play with them) He left the grounds and hid as he quickly changed into the clothing of a normal person and walked away from the building. Onashi needed to plan his next moves carefully. Peckertown, USA I landed the Corsair on the runway at the small airport on the edge of Peckertown and taxied to the hangar that Dad had bought some time ago. Smart move on his part. It helped to have a place to keep gear, planes, and extra cars when needed. I secured the Corsair in the hangar and turned to see Yoshi Toranaga standing there. (Good evening, Harada-san. It is good to see you again) Yoshi said, bowing. I returned the bow. (Toranaga-san, it is good to see you again. You look well) Yoshi smiled. "Clean living." I roared in laughter at that. "Married life must be good for you then." "Never a dull moment, that's for sure. Jeff will be happy to see you," Yoshi grinned as he led me to the car. "How did you know I was here?" I asked. Yoshi sighed. "Your Dad called Zeus. Zeus called me. I can tell you are troubled, your spirit is in great pain and your Chi is disrupted." I nodded. "Yes. I need your help, old friend." "Then come. We shall go to the house and sit. I shall open sake and we will talk," he said. We arrived at his house and he drove through the gate. He smiled at my reaction. "We found this place some time ago and acquired it. All of us under one roof was fracturing us. We needed space. So we bought these houses and closed off the street with the security gate. Best thing we ever did. Now we are much happier," Yoshi said. "That's great," I said. He led me into the house and Jeff came up to me and hugged me. "Our house is your house. Please make yourself at home." "Thanks Jeff," I smiled. "I appreciate your hospitality, but I don't want to intrude on you both." "Would you feel relaxed in the guest house?" Yoshi asked. "If it isn't too much trouble," I said. "It is no trouble. Please leave your bags by the front door. Dinner is almost ready," Yoshi said. Dinner was good. Yoshi cooked up some of the traditional Japanese dishes and they reminded me of back home. He saw the look in my eyes and he knew I was hurting. Jeff volunteered to clean the kitchen while we talked. I went out to the back porch and sat down on the top step and gazed at the stars. A moment later Yoshi sat down next to me and handed me a sake cup and a picture. I looked at the picture and it was the same one he had shown me the day I ran into him at the hotel for the Aaron/Haley movie (see Samurai Inc. 05a and 05b for the story) and I had remembered him. "I remember this," I sighed, sipping the warm sake. "We were six at the time. Our fathers were doing business together. We met on the playground and we both got completely muddy. I though my father was going to blow a gasket he was mad!" "Mine reacted the same way, and then next thing I know he's laughing his head off. Yours did too," Yoshi said, smiling at the memory. The sake was going down lots better than the scotch I drank last night. I was feeling a bit light headed now. "You never told me how you got into the United States and how you ended up with Logan-san," Yoshi softly said. I drained the rest of the cup and sighed. "Dad was working for my Grandfather. Grandpa had bought a major corporation in Colorado and asked Dad to go and check it out. We would have to stay there for about a year. We moved out there when I was ten years old. It was the last time I saw Grandpa. After I turned eleven, Mom and Dad were killed in a freak accident. They are buried back home in Japan like they wanted. The child welfare people took me in. I was so out of it, I didn't see trouble coming. If I had, I would have gotten out of there. The next thing I know I'm living in this house with a nasty guy who had a few other kids living there. He treated us rotten. He forced us to make and deliver his drugs. He liked to....force himself on us from time to time. I was a victim a few times. It got to the point where I though I'd never get out. I couldn't fight back because he knew what I was and told me if I tried anything he'd kill the other kids and blame me for it. David rescued me when he took down the guy while on a secret mission for the Navy. He helped the cops put him away and then adopted me." Yoshi nodded. "Right on. My family moved to Tennessee when I was seven. Dad's company had acquired an electronics firm building parts for the space shuttle. Dad tossed me out when I came out to him. I walked here and you know the rest. I am curious about something. Why hasn't your Grandfather tried to find you?" "He's dead," I said, draining the sake cup in one go. "Happened about the time Mom and Dad were killed. They say his plane blew up in Korea while on a business trip. It really hurt my Mom. He was my Mom's Father. He was teaching me the Ninja arts, wanting me to carry on the Clan tradition." Yoshi touched my shoulder. "I am sorry, Shiro. I grieve for you and with you." "I've been dreaming of a man standing in the shadows. He doesn't say anything to me. Last night he held his hand out to me and that was when I decided to come out here and talk to you or Zeus. I feel like I'm losing my mind," I said. Yoshi looked at me. "I will do what I can to help." I smiled. "Thank you Yoshi. I appreciate it." "Anything for a friend," Yoshi smiled. "There is a traditional bathhouse on the grounds. Please feel welcome to use it." I smiled. "That is an offer I cannot refuse." Yoshi stood and helped me up. I followed him to the guesthouse and he showed me around it. I settled into the bedroom and unpacked. I stripped down and then pulled my kimono on and walked out to the bathhouse. I relaxed once I got in the tub. The hot water felt good to me and I hoped it would relax me enough so I could sleep. I decided as long as I was out here I'd go see some people and check up on them. I spent an hour in the bath and then went back to the house. I got into bed and went to sleep. Nagasaki, Japan. Onashi woke and stretched. What he had read in the papers he'd copied from the safe convinced him Mukku was up to no good. If he got a military contract for the Emperor, that would spell disaster for Japan and potentially the free world. He really had to stop this guy. The problem was how. The Emperor Hirohito was dead. He had met the son onetime. The odds were definitely against him. He did have one friend, though. Asano Takaneda. He hoped he was still alive. Onashi called him and left a message for him to meet me at the Soldier's Memorial at noon. He put together his disguise and left for the memorial. Soldier's Memorial was a private cemetery where soldiers of World War Two were buried. He arrived there about eleven thirty and found a place to watch the one small crypt where their friends were interred. He arrived right on time and went in. He had changed a little. The gray was slowly creeping into his black hair. Onashi smiled at the memory of the younger man. Onashi got up and hobbled over, acting like an old man that he was dressed to be. He entered the crypt and stood next to him on his left. (It is good to remember those who have passed on before us, old friend) he said to him as he bowed to the names on the wall. I heard his breath suck in and then out quickly. Onashi turned to him to see the shock in his eyes. He smiled. (Why are you so surprised to see a dead man walk?) Onashi asked. (Onashi-san? Is it really you?) he asked. He smiled again. (Do you remember the morning we all stood on the deck of the carrier as we invaded the Americans?) (Yes. Mukku-san said he feared it could be the end of all.) Asano said. (What was it that I said?) Onashi asked. Asano turned to face him. (We would rise again out of the ashes and become even more powerful than before.) Onashi smiled as Asano hugged him tight. He backed away and Onashi saw the tears on his face. Then both of them hugged again. (Come old friend. There is much to discuss,) Onashi said. He hesitated for a moment. (There is something here I must show you.) Asano led him to another part of the graveyard and stopped before two simple tombstones. Onashi slowly sank to my knees as he read the names of his daughter and son-in-law. Asano gently squeezed his shoulders. (I am sorry, old friend. But your Grandson yet lives,) Asano said. Onashi stood and followed him out of the cemetery. Asano drove the car to a small inn by the ocean and got a room. After sitting down, Asano opened a bottle of sake and poured drinks for both men. Onashi handed him the papers he had gotten from Mukku's safe and Asano set them aside after a quick glance. (I must tell you things,) he said. Asano spent nearly an hour telling Onashi how his daughter and son-in-law had died, what had happened to Shiro, his grandson. Onashi was pleased that this Logan had rescued him and taken him into his home as his son. Asano told him of going to Colorado and giving him his swords, the Clan Onashi and Clan Harada swords, and Onashi's personal ninja-to. (I have asked Clan Yaguu to complete his training and put him through the trials. He passed all perfectly. I know he did, I was there. He Honors the Clans by using his skills to protect people. Shiro and Logan-san formed a company called Samurai Inc. to protect underage celebrities. They have added four more people to their ranks. One of the boys that joined is Shiro's consort. The other two are adopted brothers, both with unique powers. I have kept a watch on them from a discrete distance,) Asano said. (My grandson is gay,) Onashi said. (No matter. I will still love him. He is a part of me through his mother.) (Shiro has turned into a fine man,) Asano smiled. Onashi smiled. (That makes me glad. Tell me about this Logan.) Asano related the history of the man. Onashi was impressed with what he heard. Asano then turned to the papers and read them carefully. (It is as we suspected. Mukku-san has turned dirty. We have known of his contacts with the Korean ambassador for some years. Little did I ever dream he would have something to do with your disappearance. You have now given me the evidence needed to remove him. The Emperor Akahito will be informed. Please allow me to take care of this matter. Take this cell phone. I will call you on it,) Asano said. Onashi looked at it with a puzzled look on his face. Asano sighed. (This is how it works,) he said, beginning to teach him how to use it. (I feel like the fabled Rip Van Winkle,) Onashi said, making Asano laugh. Peckertown, USA I rolled out of bed the next morning feeling rested. Having told Yoshi everything last night made me feel a little better. I went over to his house and found a note in the flowerpot. "Shiro, we went into town this morning. There is a Camaro in the garage with the keys in the visor and the tank is full. Have fun and be careful. Love Yoshi," I read. I went to the garage and found a blue Chevy Camaro in the garage. I decided my first stop would be John and Carlos's place. Haven't talked to them in some time. They weren't home so I headed for Aaron and Haley's farm. Haley was in, but not Aaron. "He's touring Texas," Haley said when we sat down in the living room. "Then he may go up through California, Oregon, Washington State and up into Canada. The crew that he's got with him are on the Samurai Inc. books here. Since the Yamane brothers took over the Samurai Inc. office here, things have been running much better than ever. These two brothers are small but by no means easy pushovers. They have trained in quite a few martial arts and are so in tune with each other it's incredible. If you ever get to see them fight they will amaze you." "That's what Zeus tells me. Perhaps I'll drop in and see them. So what are you up to?" I asked. "Funny you should ask. I'm reading a script for a movie to be shot in Japan. I'm to be working with three Japanese boy actors and the studio just informed me they are hiring you guys to protect me while I'm there," Haley said. I blinked, getting shivered run up and down my spine. It's amazing how life works sometimes. This was unexpected. I had the feeling I was going to go to Japan to find my answers. Haley tapped me on the shoulder, making me jump. "Are you okay?" he asked. I took a sip of coffee and then told him what was going on with me lately. I saw the concerned look go across his face. "Sounds to me like the answers you want are in Japan," Haley said. "I can get us lined up on a commercial carrier to Japan." "Let me do that. I know someone in Japan who I can call," I said, immediately thinking of Asano Takaneda. Shiro knew he was Grandfather's old friend. Asano would come to the house quite often when Onashi was training Shiro in the Ninja Arts. Shiro knew Asano worked in the Japanese government in some office. He would help. "Okay," Haley said. "When do you want to go?" "I just got here last night. I'd like to spend some time talking to Zeus if I could," I said. "Does he still have his office at the hotel?" "Yes he does. Will you come back here tonight?" Haley asked. "I'm feeling a little lonely with out Aaron." I turned to face him. "Are you sure? I don't want to get in between you and Aaron." "I'll call him later and we can talk to him," Haley said. I thought about it for a moment. "We can do that." Haley smiled. "Cool. See you around seven?" "I'll be here," I said, giving him a kiss on the cheek. I waved as I drove down the long driveway. Zeus was in the middle of a conversation with Tad as I walked in. He grinned at me and pointed to the small café. I walked in and took a booth in the back facing the door. The big man walked in a moment later as a boy placed a pot of tea on the table. "May I pour you a cup of tea?" I asked, beginning an ages old ritual. Zeus bowed his head to me. "I would be honored to accept a cup from you." I poured the tea and se the pot down. Both of us raised our cups and drank it down. Zeus sighed as he set his cup down. "It's good to see you, Shiro. How can I help you?" he asked. I sat back and told him of my recent troubles. He listened carefully to what I said. "Dad was working for my Grandfather. Grandpa had bought a major corporation in Colorado and asked Dad to go and check it out. We would have to stay there for about a year. We moved out there when I was ten years old. It was the last time I saw Grandpa. After I turned eleven, Mom and Dad were killed in a freak accident. They are buried back home in Japan like they wanted. The child welfare people took me in. I was so out of it, I didn't see trouble coming. If I had, I would have gotten out of there.

I couldn't fight back because he knew what I was and told me if I tried anything he'd kill the other kids and blame me for it. David rescued me when he took down the guy while on a secret mission for the Navy. He helped the cops put him away and then adopted me," I told him. "Have you tried to find your Grandfather?" Zeus asked. "He's dead," I said, draining the teacup in one go. "Happened just before Mom and Dad were killed. They say his plane blew up in Korea while on a business trip. It really hurt my Mom. He was my Mom's Father. He was teaching me the Ninja arts, wanting me to carry on the Clan tradition." Zeus nodded, putting hand over mine and gently squeezed it, giving me the courage and strength to keep going. "I've been dreaming of a man standing in the shadows. He doesn't say anything to me. Last night he held his hand out to me and that was when I decided to come out here and talk to you. I feel like I'm losing my mind," I said. "Both Yoshi and Haley think that the answers I'm seeking are in Japan and that I need to go there." "Yoshi and Haley are right. The answers you want are in Japan. Are you sure this Asano Takaneda can be trusted?" Zeus asked. "Yes. He is an old friend of Clans Onashi and Harada. I would trust him with my secrets and my life," I said. Zeus nodded. "That's good enough for me. Be careful." "I will," I said. I left Zeus after that and went back to Yoshi's place. Nobody was home so I went to the guesthouse and found a note at the front door, giving me the alarm code and key to the dojo and weight room. I grinned. Just what I needed to do. I went to the dojo after changing into sweats and started working out. I slipped into Getsumi no Michi as I began the basic katas. I felt good as I moved through them. I let my mind wander to the memories of Grandpa teaching me. I felt good feelings go through me. Suddenly the room changed and the figure in the shadows was there. I assumed ready stance. (Who are you? Why do you torment me?) I asked the person. (You will soon know young ninja,) the voice said. I snapped out of the vision, finding myself lying on the mats. I ran out of the dojo and into the cold air, suddenly feeling very claustrophobic. I assumed the Lotus position and closed my eyes. I slowly sank back into Getsumi no Michi and tried to settle my spirit. I meditated for at least ten minutes and then came back. It was no use. I was still unsettled by what happened. I stood up and glanced at my watch. It was five thirty. I went back to the dojo and locked it up. I went back to the house and cleaned up for my night with Haley. I hoped being there with him would take my mind off things. I decided to call Dad first. "Lost Sheep Rescue Service," Dad cracked when he answered his cell. I had to smile. "Little Bo Beep Fan Club calling." I could hear Dad laughing in the background. "Good one, son. Are you all right?" "I've spent an hour with Zeus, talked to Yoshi most of the night last night, and had a conversation with Haley. All of them seem to think I should go to Japan that my answers are there. I feel like I'm being led there, Dad. Scares me a little," I said. "Son, you know I've always supported you in everything you've ever done. If you think that going to Japan will help, then go for it. Promise me you'll call Asano Takaneda before you go, so that way someone knows you're coming to Japan. Just be careful, son. I love you a lot," Dad said. I felt a lot better after hearing what he said. "Thanks Dad, I knew I could count on you." "That's what I'm here for. Whatever you decide to do I wish you luck," Dad said and then hung up. Nagasaki, Japan. Hejiro Onashi opened his eyes and sighed. He hoped that Shiro had gotten the message. He could feel the boy's pain from the contacts each time. (Forgive me, Shiro. I do not mean to cause you pain,) he wept. He had moved into more secure quarters for the time being after Asano dropped him off there. He promised immediate action on the matter. That had been two days ago. Onashi had been waiting for his call since. He stood and stretched, beginning the Tai Chi katas to stretch and loosen his muscles. He had been unable to do anything there in the North Korean prison. They had to know he was ninja because of the security they placed on him. His lucky break came when a prison riot broke out. He had managed to escape his cell and go over the wall. From there it was a simple matter to get back into Japan. Every chance he got he trained himself until he regained his abilities. Asano had gotten him a place where there was a dojo with a weight room in it. Hejiro didn't hesitate. He went right to work building up his strength again. He wanted to be ready when the time came. Hejiro could feel his anger start to build up so he turned and worked it out on a training dummy. He felt better having properly vented his anger, he sat down and ate a dinner of rice, cold vegetables, and fish. The cell phone rang when he finished his dinner. He picked it up and pushed a button, hoping it was the right one. (Hello?) he answered. (Auntie?) the voice asked. Hejiro smiled. (Auntie is in the shower.) (Onashi-san,) the voice said. (It's Asano.) Hejiro sat down. (Well?) (The Emperor Akahito is in the know. We shall confront him tomorrow night. Mukku-san will pay for his crimes,) Asano said. (There is one problem,) Onashi said. (He cannot have a public trial. Too many secrets would be exposed if he was allowed to be very close to the Emperor.) (Ah, but the Emperor never liked him. He made every effort to keep the man at a very long distance from him. The other ministers did not like him, either. He has on a few occasions embarrassed himself badly. Once Mukku-san is exposed, then you can surface again and go public. There is not much left of your company. It has been reduced to nothing,) Asano reported. (No matter. I wish to spend my remaining days with my grandson,) Onashi said. He could hear Asano chuckle. (Just as I told the Emperor you would say. Done and done. I shall pick you up tomorrow afternoon. Be ready.) (I shall be ready,) Onashi said. He heard the phone get hung up and he looked at the screen of his cell as it hung its self up and return to ready status. (At long last, I shall regain what is mine. My Honor, my good name, and a return to the world that I once knew. I will have my revenge,) Onashi said out loud. He turned back to the training equipment and started working out once more. Everything was starting to come together finally. He had waited nearly three years for his answers, he could wait another day. Peckertown, USA Haley let me in the house when I arrived. He looked good in navy blue slacks and a light peach colored shirt open at the neck. "Glad you're here," he said, smiling. "Thanks for having me here," I said. "Hope Aaron doesn't mind." "I'm sure he won't. He's going to call around eight. He always calls me around eight unless he's on stage. Tonight he'll be calling from California," Haley said. I had to chuckle. "You guys sure act like a married couple." Haley grinned and raised a hand. I saw a gold band around his finger. "Promise ring. We have to wait until I turn fourteen to marry." "Haley, that's great!" I said, hugging him. "You guys truly deserve each other." Haley led the way into the living room. "That's what our families keep telling us." "They're right, you know. You guys are perfect for each other," I said, handing him a bottle of white zinfandel. Haley grinned as he took the bottle from me. "Thanks. Dinner is nearly ready. Hope you like pasta." "Sure do. One of my favorite things to cook. I make a great lasagna," I said. "You'll have to make it sometime when I come up to Logan's Mountain," Haley grinned as I sat down. "Deal," I said. Dinner was relaxed. Haley had outdone himself with the ravioli that he made. We talked about various things as Nathan Cavaleri's only CD release was playing on the stereo in the corner. I helped Haley clear the table as Eric Clapton's double CD album "Blues" came on the stereo. That was awesome music! I'd love to meet him someday. We sat on the couch and talked some more. Haley told me a bit about the movie to be shot in Japan. It sounded really intriguing. The phone rang just before eight and Haley picked it up. "Hello?" he answered it. A smile spread across his face. "Hi sweetheart. How's things going?" I felt like I was intruding so I got up and went into the kitchen for a cup of coffee. I looked out the window at the snow falling gently and it seemed so peaceful. I closed my eyes and slipped into Getsumi no Michi and let my mind float free. It's amazing how ten minutes of meditation can calm the spirit and relax the soul. I felt Haley coming into the kitchen so I brought myself back and to awareness once again. "There you are. Aaron wants to talk to you," Haley said, holding out the phone. I took the phone from Haley. "Aaron! How are you?" "Doing great! The tour is happening, the music hot, and the houses jumping, ya know?" his voice came at me with a laugh. I grinned. "Glad to hear you're doing well. The crew taking care of you?" "Yes they are. The Yamane Brothers sure put together a good bunch this time around. Now I want you to take good care of my love, okay?" Aaron asked. "Of course I will," I said. "We always do." "I give you my permission to have fun with him," Aaron said. I sighed. "Are you sure about that? I don't want to cause any trouble for you guys." "I'm absolutely sure. We are part of the Samurai Inc. support club," Aaron said. "Thanks, Aaron. I just wanted to make sure it was all right with you. I do have a lot of respect for you and Haley," I said. "We like you guys a lot. You guys have done quite a bit for us," Aaron said. "I'll give you back to Haley," I said and handed the phone to Haley. I walked out of the kitchen to give Haley privacy and sat on the couch. I listened to Clapton on the stereo playing a slow blues number. Haley came out of the kitchen and put the phone back in the cradle and sat down next to me. He snuggled up close to me and feeling his warm body next to mine made me feel good. By the time Clapton finished on the stereo, I was ready to take him upstairs. "I'll go up and get ready," he said with a smile. I stood up and pulled him to his feet. "I'll check the windows and doors." I watched Haley go upstairs and then started my tour of the windows and doors. The Peckertown Samurai branch knew I was here and that was okay with me. Since Haley's farm wasn't too far from the Peckertown Training Academy that Benjy had established, the security patrol that protected the PTA also checked their farm on a regular basis every night starting at dusk going to dawn. The Powersound mall had nightly security as well. We liked to protect our celebrity friends. I went upstairs turning off the light at the top of the stairs and then going straight into the master bedroom. Haley lay in bed with just the sheet covering his groin area. He smiled as the bulge in my slacks announced its self. "Somebody's happy," he commented. I had to laugh as I stripped down to my string. Haley's eyebrows rose and he wolf whistled as I struck a sexy pose. "Well come on over," he said, patting the bed next to him. I slid in next to him and we kissed. I ran my hands over his chest and could feel the developing muscle there. "Aaron and I have been working out. We built a private gym in the second barn and hired a trainer from the new gym in town called "The Pump House". A very well built Russian kid runs the place. He sends a trainer here three days a week to help us work out. Aaron's endurance has gone up as well as gaining some muscle. I've packed on some muscle myself. The movie in Japan is going to be a physical one," Haley said. "Mind if I read the script?" I asked. "Sure. There is a few scenes where I need to use the martial arts to defeat the bad guy," Haley said. "See if you can use me as a fight coordinator," I said. Haley grinned. "Okay. I'll make the calls in the morning." I wrapped my arms around Haley and drew him closer. "Sounds like a plan. Now, where were we?" Haley leaned forward. "Right here," he said, kissing me. I rolled him over on his back. "Oh yeah, that's right," I said, giving him a French kiss. The fun was beginning. Tokyo, Japan. Onashi was ready to go. He was fully together again, knowing full well he may have to battle Mukku. He hoped he would be the one to send the man to hell. The cell phone rang and Onashi picked it up. (Hello?) he answered it. (Good morning, Noah's Ark insurance, is Auntie Olivo in?) the voice asked. Onashi grinned. (So sorry, she has stepped out to the sumo matches.) A roar of laughter came at him. (You were always so quick with the wit.) (Some things never change, old friend. You are coming?) Onashi asked. (Of course. Everything is set. Mukku has taken the bait, hook, line, and stinker,) Takaneda informed him. Onashi sighed. (That's sinker. You could never get it right.) (Stinker. His favorite cologne is called Eau de Traitor,) Takaneda cracked. Onashi groaned again. (Gods, I'll be glad when this is over.) Takaneda got serious. (So will I. Long time coming.) The cell hung up in Onashi's ear and he put it down. He slipped into his ninja suit and felt the bits of metal against his skin. He picked up his ninja-to and slipped out of the house after pulling a plain brown kimono on over the black suit. Takaneda pulled up next to him and Onashi got in. Takaneda briefed Onashi on the plan and he nodded. (A good plan,) he said. (It will work,) Takaneda said. They arrived at the Palace and Onashi slipped out of the car at a predetermined spot and went to work, penetrating the Palace. Takaneda drove through after showing his ID. He entered the lobby to see an excited Mukku standing there. (Mukku-san, it is good to see you,) Takaneda bowed. (Yes, yes, the Emperor has sent for me and I don't want to keep him waiting,) Mukku snapped. The guards around them reacted to that bit of rudeness. Takaneda restrained himself from shooting the bastard on the spot. (Of course. This way please,) Takaneda bowed and then led Mukku up to the Emperor's office. The Emperor was sitting in a chair sipping his midmorning tea when he saw a shadow fall across his desk. He looked up into Onashi's eyes and slightly nodded. Onashi withdrew and waited. He didn't have to wait long. The door opened and Mukku followed Takaneda in. The Emperor Akahito rose to greet his guests. (Takaneda-san, how nice to see you again! This is Mukku-san?) Akahito smiled. Mukku's chest expanded with pride as he bowed. (Yes Sire.) (Please make yourselves comfortable,) Akahito said with a wave of his hand. Mukku sat in a chair closest to the Emperor as Takaneda remained standing. (Do you wish more tea?) Takaneda asked Akahito. (Please. Does the guest wish a cup?) he asked smiling. (I would be honored,) Mukku said, smiling. Takaneda turned to pour the drinks and saw Onashi peeking from around the corner. He turned around to serve Akahito and Mukku. Mukku accepted the cup and sipped. (Ah, very tasty. Thank you.) He missed the nods between the Emperor and Takaneda. (I wish to discuss a matter that has come to my attention recently,) Akahito said, reaching for some papers that the Secret Service had gotten for him an hour ago from Mukku's office safe. He read a few of the items aloud and then looked up. Mukku had gone red with rage. (Why have you betrayed your Liege Lord Onashi?) Akahito asked calmly. (Because he stole from me what should have been mine when the old man Toda died,) Mukku snarled through clenched teeth. (I was to have the company, not him!) (Toda -san was a good man and a close friend of mine. I have in my possession a letter he wrote to my late father informing him that Onashi-san was named to the post. You then sought a way to take it from Onashi. You conspired with Ambassador Yu of North Korea to falsely imprison him. Ambassador Yu has told everything,) Akahito said. Mukku started out of his chair and then suddenly felt something cut his air off. He raised his hands and discovered a garrote around his neck. (Please sit down, Mukku-san. There is more to discuss,) a voice next to his head whispered as the figure pulled him back down, releasing him a little. Takaneda calmly placed a Walther nine millimeter against Mukku's head as security came out of hiding. The black suited figure came around to face the man. (You!) Mukku snarled. Mukku's face turned pale as Onashi made himself known. He started shaking in fear. (Mercy, please!) he begged. (Why?) Onashi asked. (You set me up. You conspired to get me out of the way. You wanted to make sure I couldn't stop you from taking all the money from the company and hiding it. Too bad you will never get to enjoy it.) Akahito rose and stared down at Mukku. (Take him away.) Security grabbed him and dragged him kicking and screaming out the door. Akahito turned to Onashi. (Onashi-san, it will be some time before we can find your money,) he said. Onashi waved his hand. (It is gone. Let it go. I am more interested in finding my Grandson and spending my remaining days with him.) Takaneda's cell rang. (Hello?) Onashi watched the expression change on Takaneda's face. (Harada-san, how nice to hear from you! How are you?) Takaneda looked at Onashi. He shook his head no and put a finger to his lips. Takaneda smiled broadly. (How can I help?) Takaneda asked. He reached for a scratch pad on the small table next to him and began writing. (Yes, I have heard of the film project. One of Japan's great directors is going to be running it. Haley Joel Osment? The boy who sees dead people? How delightful! Please allow me to make arrangements, Harada-san. I shall meet you at the airport with a limo and some trusted people. I look forward to seeing you again. Goodbye Harada-san,) Takaneda said and hung up. The Emperor and Takaneda grinned at Onashi. Onashi just grinned. (Please allow me to arrange everything,) Takaneda bowed. (Of course,) Onashi smiled. Akahito smiled. (I wish you luck.) Onashi bowed. (Thank you.) Peckertown, USA Haley didn't waste time yanking my boxers with the cartoon ninjas on them off me. He sucked my cock right down his throat and went to work on it. I sighed in pleasure. I felt one of his fingers invade me and slip up inside me. I closed my eyes and let the pleasure take over. Haley managed to turn himself around into a sixty-nine so I could suck on his cock. I slipped the firm piece of Haley meat inside of my mouth and started to pleasure him back. I felt the vibrations from his throat on my cock and I fought hard to keep from shooting off too soon. We worked each other's cocks for about ten minutes until Haley broke away. "Get me ready," he moaned as he handed me the tube of KY. I ran a bead down a finger and worked it into his back door. I went back to work on his cock, sucking it hard and deep as I stretched and lubed him up. Haley writhed and groaned in pleasure as I got him ready for a fucking. He pushed me onto my back and straddled my hips and then drove himself down on my cock, forcing it up into his ass. God, he was tight. He shivered and moaned as he came fully to rest on my hips. "Feels so good," he sighed, and then began to ride me. He rode my cock for a while, getting me so hot. I finally reached my breaking point and pushed him off me. Haley rolled on his back and presented me with his anal target. I didn't waste any time stuffing his ass full of my cock once again. He cried out as I started fucking him hard. "PLOW MY ASS! FUCK ME HARD! YEAH! YEAH! RIDE MY ASS!" Haley yelled as I worked his ass with my cock. God he was horny tonight! I kept going until I was seeing stars. I felt myself explode deep inside of him and I welcomed the relief. Felt so good, too. I sighed as I relaxed. Haley slipped out from under me and plunged his leaking cock into my ass. I shivered as I felt the slim cock slide deep into me. Haley started fucking me like a madman. I didn't mind, I wanted it. I urged him on, wanting to feel him ride me good. He squeaked out loud as he came deep into me. Both of us tumbled back into bed and fell asleep. I had another dream. This time he was standing there in a plain brown kimono, his face still in the shadows. (I am waiting for you Harada-san,) he said to me. I sat right up, throwing Haley to the floor as I woke up. I was breathing hard and shaking. Haley stood up and looked at me. He climbed back onto the bed. "Shiro, are you all right?" he asked, concerned. I looked at him and grasped his shoulder. "Give me a moment and I'll explain." The morning sun came in the windows and I stood up and went into the bathroom. When I came out, Haley handed me a bathrobe and led me downstairs. He put a pot of tea on and set two cups on the table. After I had a cup, I told him everything. He handed me the phone. "There is only one thing to do. You must go there. Now. Today," Haley said firmly. "You're not going to get your answers here." I dialed a number from memory. I hoped Takaneda would remember me. He did and I told him what was going on. He promised to make all the arrangements for me. I told him I'd be on the first flight out and gave him my cell number. He called me an hour later and told me of a private jet that was at JFK airport that was to return to Japan due to a screw up. They would wait for Haley and me. While Haley packed, I called Yoshi and gave him the rundown. "Funny you should mention that. We got hired to come out and stage a show for the movie and do a soundtrack for it as well," Yoshi said. "Cool. I'll set up a place to house everyone involved. Call you in a few days," I said to Yoshi. "I hope you find what it is you are supposed to," Yoshi said and hung up. "Taxi's here!" Haley yelled. Within the half hour, we were headed for New York in a Cessna. I would have used the Corsair, but it was a one seater and the Cessna sat four comfortably. If I lost the Cessna in New York Dad wouldn't care so much and the Corsair was much safer here in Peckertown. It would take us roughly two hours there and then about twelve hours by jet. Haley squeezed my shoulder for support. He could tell I was wound up. "Everything will be fine," he said. I looked over at him. "I appreciate your support, Haley. Means a lot to me right now." We got there in just under two hours and I stashed the plane in a rental hangar. A security car met us and escorted us to the jet. I blinked as I saw the Japan logo on the tail and recognized the numbers on the plane. "Shiro?" Haley nudged me. "This plane belongs to Clan Yaguu," I breathed. A flight attendant came down the stairs to greet us. (Harada-san?) she asked as she bowed to us. I returned the bow. (That is me. This is Osment Haley.)* She turned and bowed to Haley. "I an honored to meet you, Osment-san. If you can get on board, we can leave immediately." We climbed on board and took our seats. The plane began to move as we buckled ourselves in. Ten minutes later the plane took off. We were on our way to Japan. I was feeling a bit emotional. Haley sat down in a seat in front of me. "You're going to be fine," Haley said, taking my hand. I smiled. "Thanks for your support." He smiled and started looking around. "This is definitely traveling in style." I had to laugh. "Only the best for the Daimyo of Clan Yaguu." "Is he really important?" Haley asked. "They are one of the oldest Clans in existence in Japan," I said. "They have been in government service, military service, built businesses, and has been the industry leaders in several things." The lady had returned. "Is there anything you require?" I looked at Haley and he shook his head no. "Not at this time. Thank you for asking." She bowed and went up front. I gave Haley a crash course in Japanese customs and traditions for the next three hours, even attempting to teach him some Japanese. He certainly tried his best. For the next three hours after that, we played chess, checkers, and a few card games. Haley got up to stretch at the seventh hour into the flight and kicked off his shoes. I looked at him puzzled and he smiled. I watched him creep up front, and then came back a moment later. He took my hand and led me to the back of the plane. He dropped his pants and briefs and stuck his ass out at me. "Come on, stuff me full. Join the mile high club," he said seductively. I peeked around the corner and considered his offer. "Keep quiet while I plow your ass," I said. Haley groaned as I shoved my cock deep into him and started fucking him. I felt him shiver as I fucked him hard and fast. I couldn't believe I was doing this on the Clan Yaguu jet. I hoped to God we wouldn't get caught. I felt his anal muscle squeeze my cock hard, and that broke me. I groaned softly as I shot my load deep into him. I slammed my cock deep into him as I unloaded. I sighed as I pulled out of him. Haley gently pushed me over the seat and shoved his cock into me. I gasped as I felt him enter me. Haley rabbit fucked me hard and furious until he shot his load deep inside of me. "Welcome to the Mile High Fuck Club," he sighed as he pulled out of me. I kissed him as he cleaned me up. Haley kissed me as I cleaned him up. Both of us went back to our seats. "Is that the first time?" I asked Haley. "Nope. Aaron was the first. You were the second," Haley grinned. "You horny kid," I sighed. "Always," Haley laughed. "I'm already a member of the club. Been wanting to renew my membership for some time. Thanks for the opportunity," I said. Haley grinned. "Hope you enjoyed it." "I'm a very satisfied member in good standing," I cracked. I guess I must have dozed off because the flight attendant woke us up. Haley was lying against me and we were covered by a blanket. Flying does take a bit out of you. (So sorry,) I said. She bowed. (It is not a problem. The Captain says we are landing in about twenty minutes. I came back to inform you. There is a car waiting.) I smiled. (Thank you.) I woke Haley as she went back up front. "We're landing in twenty. Get ready." He snapped to and sat in the seat next to me buckling himself in. The landing was nice and smooth. We disembarked and met two men at the bottom of the stairs. One was familiar to me. (Takaneda-san! It's been too long!) I said as I hugged him. (Harada-san, you look great! You have grown,) he said. (Clean living,) I joked. He laughed as the second man presented our passports back to Haley and me. Haley and I bowed and then followed Takaneda to the limo. (This is Osment-san,) I said, introducing Haley to Takaneda. "I am honored to meet you," he said in perfect English. "Welcome to Japan." Haley bowed. "I am honored to meet you, sir." Takaneda returned the bow. "I have taken the liberty of making the arrangements to house everyone involved in the film project. The ninja of Clan Yaguu have volunteered to provide security. There will be the usual number in uniforms plus many more in shadows. This must remain between the three of us. You may inform Logan when he arrives with the others." "Dad called you?" I asked. "Yes. He knows you have come to Japan. He is not angry, just concerned as am I," Takaneda said. I scratched my chin and then told him everything. He nodded as I talked. "It was your Karma to return and find what it is you seek," he said. "I will find the source of my dreams and visions," I said. The limo pulled up to a gate and a man stepped out of the gatehouse and talked to the driver. Suddenly I got those strange feelings in my gut. Something was about to happen. "Shiro?" Haley asked, getting concerned. "I don't know. Just be ready for anything," I said. We went up the long driveway to the house and stopped. I got out first and looked around. I wished I had my sword with me so I turned to get my bag but it was too late. The porter was taking our bags inside the house. I took a deep breath and slipped into Getsumi no Michi. Something was blocking me. I felt fear. "Takaneda, cover Haley. Something's wrong," I said. He nodded and slipped his hand under his jacket as he put a hand on Haley's shoulder protectively. We entered the house and was shown to the main room. I stood there, my emotions jacked up high and very alert. I heard footsteps in the shadows and I turned to face them. The figure from my dreams slowly emerged and I backed up. "It's him!" I yelled. (Grandson,) the voice called to me as the person stepped into the light. I stood rooted to the floor in shock. (Grandfather? Grandpa Onashi?) I whispered. (Yes. It is me, Shiro. Returned from the dead,) he smiled at me. Everything went black. I woke up in a bedroom, lying on a futon. I slowly sat up and looked around it. It was a traditional style room, I'd say about twenty mats wide. One of the walls was open and the fresh air was coming in. I stood up and realized I was naked so I wrapped the sheet around me and went to the open shoji door and looked out. There in front of me was the most beautiful garden I'd ever seen. Someone did a hell of a job with it. I went back into the room and found the bathroom. After taking car of business, I found a kimono on the back of the door and put it on. I folded up the sheet and dropped it on the bed and then went back to the shoji door to look out at the garden. "Shiro," the voice behind me said. I turned to see my grandfather standing behind me. I couldn't tell you what I was feeling at that moment. There were so many emotions running through me. He moved forward and touched me on my shoulder. I slowly moved forward and wrapped my arms around him and started to cry. He was alive. My grandfather was alive and I was so happy to see him. He held me for a long time until I stopped crying. "Grandpa, I thought you..." I started to say. "My time hasn't come yet, Shiro. Not yet. I have much living yet to do," he said. "You are a part of that." "Tell me what happened, please?" I asked. He sighed and we sat down. He told me of his escape from the plane and how he was jailed without any kind of a trial, how he escaped the prison and got back into Japan. He told me of how Takaneda, the Emperor of Japan, and himself confronted Mukku. The man would have his trial in a few weeks. "He will never again be what he was," Grandpa said. "But what about all that money he hid? What about the company?" I asked. Grandpa shrugged. "It is all gone. He hid the money too well. There is nothing left of the company. My only wish now is to spend the rest of my days with you." I hugged him. "Grandpa, I'd love to have you live with us. You will like Logan. He has been a good father to me. You'll like my brothers, too." He smiled. "I have heard much about Logan from Takaneda. He says Logan is a good man. I am pleased his is your father." "He really can't replace my real father, but he tries," I said. "That is the important thing," Grandpa smiled. I took a breath and sighed. It was now or never. "Grandpa, I've grown up a lot over the last three years. I've been through a lot, changed a lot, and discovered many things about myself. One of those things I have discovered about myself is that I am gay." Grandpa just nodded. "I see. That does not change the fact that you are my Grandson. I still love you." I felt like a huge load had been lifted off my shoulders. "Thank you, Grandpa." I reached for my wallet and pulled out a picture of Sammo and me. "This is Sammo, my consort. He is the same age as me. We have been together for nearly two years." Grandpa studied the picture. "He looks like a good man." "Wait until you meet him," I said. I got another picture from my wallet and showed it to him. It was a group picture of the others. I pointed out Dad, Danny, Neil, and Sacha. "Dad and Danny are former Navy Seals. Really quick and fast. I've trained them to be faster. Neil and Sacha have very unique abilities. Neil is a mutant with telekinetic and telepathic powers. Dad found him in Arizona while on a mission for the Navy. Sacha is a mutant with very advanced self healing powers. In addition to that, he has six adamatium claws inside his hands, three to a hand. They are about six inches long and razor sharp. His eyesight and hearing are extremely sharp as we. That gives us an edge. Sammo can wrestle better than I can and he's our electronics expert." I watched Grandpa react to that. "Interesting. I'd like to see them in action." "Well that depends," I said. "We are really good at things. Sammo, Neil, Sacha, and I are experts at picking a kitchen clean." Grandpa blinked at that. I smiled. "We are growing boys," I explained. Grandpa closed his eyes and groaned as I laughed. He had walked into that one. "I think I'm in trouble," he said. I laughed as he smiled at me. He reached out and hugged me again. It felt so good to have family with me again. "Hungry?" he asked. I realized I was. "Yes. How long was I out?" "You were out for a day. Your friend was worried about you. You gave all of us a scare when you hit the floor," Grandpa said. I stood up and followed him out the door. "I guess it was the shock of seeing you again that caused me to black out. I was riding the edge of my emotions." "Once we get some food inside of you, you'll feel better," Grandpa said. He led me down to the dining room and I sat at the table in the traditional style. Haley came into the room right then. "Hey! You're okay!" he exclaimed. I grinned. "I am now. Everything is going to be fine, Haley. I got what I was looking for. I'm happy now." Grandpa walked into the room at that moment, followed by a servant with a tray of food. Haley, Grandpa, and Takaneda sat down and we ate a lunch of traditional food. I informed Haley about some of the stuff he was eating. "This is good," he said. "I really like this." "The cooks will be happy to hear that," Takaneda said. I looked up at Takaneda. "You really never told me what you do for the Japanese government." He grinned. "I am Japan Secret Service." "Now that explains everything," I said. "I knew you were Grandpa's friend from the war and that was it." "It is necessary to keep that secret," he said. "My word of honor," Haley said. "My word of honor," I said. "Good. Now that is done," Takaneda said. Then I remembered the movie. "Had anything been arrange in regards to the movie?" "A few things have happened while you were asleep," Haley said. "We are going to move to a much larger estate down south where the actual filming will take place. We can house everybody there comfortably. Yoshi and his crew will have a recording studio to play in. There is plenty to do there to keep all of us busy, be it with the movie or playtime. There's even a dojo and a fully stocked weight room." I grinned as Grandpa and Takaneda laughed. "We can go down there tomorrow," Grandpa said. "We do need a few days to set up the house there and make plans to defend the house." "Sounds like a plan," I said. "What are you going to do with the company?" Grandpa scratched his chin. "I am not sure. I have been gone too long and there is very little left of it." "Why not sell it to Kazuya, your former Executive Officer? He would do it proper justice, absorb it into his own company and see to it that what employees are left would get their long overdue reward?" I proposed. Grandpa smiled. "Now that is an excellent idea. He would be the best person to treat it well. Good choice, Shiro. I will start looking for him." "Hope he will be willing," I said. "So do I," Grandpa said. Haley spent the night with me in my room. He came out of the bathroom and looked at me lying on the futon, barely covered with the sheet. "I been waiting for you," I said, patting the futon next to me. "I like that line," Haley laughed as he let the kimono slide off his body. My eyebrows went up at the sight of the rainbow colored string. "found them in a shop in Peckertown. Aaron went ape shit over them. It's the only things he and I wear now," Haley explained. He lay down next to me and I pulled him close to me. I gently kissed the back of his neck and he sighed. I slowly worked around his neck and then down his back. I heard his sighs of pleasure as I got to the string in the cleft of his ass. I turned him over on his back and started working on his face. I kissed around his face and then down to his torso. His nipples were erect and hard little nubs. I licked and sucked each one, fingering the other. Haley writhed and moaned underneath me, his body was hot for pleasure. I moved down his torso, licking and sucking all the way. His eyes were closed and he was making squeaking sounds. I enjoyed giving him pleasure. I moved my tongue around the edge of his navel and then licked the sight depression in his flat tummy. He moaned again and I knew he was getting fired up. I moved my tongue around the base of his cock and down to his smooth balls. Apparently Aaron and Haley shave each other's balls and groin clean of hair. I like it like that. So much nicer. I gently sucked each ball into my mouth and licked them at the same time. Haley was out of control, and I knew what he really wanted. I came back up to his cock and sucked it into my mouth. I sucked him hard and fast for a minute or two and then backed off. Haley didn't waste any time rolling me onto my back and plunging his cock into my ass. He started rabbit fucking me hard and fast. I loved feeling his cock going deep into me, feeling his sweaty body on mine, and feeling my cock getting squeezed between his abs and mine. I felt my orgasm slowly rise up with in me. "I'm cumming," I whispered. "So am I," he whispered back. Suddenly I was cumming, shooting my juice between our abs while feeling Haley shooting his cum inside of me. both of us sighed and then relaxed. We kissed and then cleaned up each other and went back to bed. There was much to do tomorrow. "Thanks, Shiro. I really liked that," Haley whispered to me. "You're welcome. Sure made me feel good," I said. "I feel really relaxed now." Haley laughed softly. "So do I. See you in the morning" He rolled over on his right side and went to sleep in moments. I lay awake and reflected on everything that had happened. I wondered where things would go now that Grandpa wanted to come and live with me. I needed to figure out a way to tell Dad that. I needed to figure out a way to tell Grandpa about things concerning Samurai Inc. I sighed and decided to sleep on it and let things solve themselves as they come up. There was no use in worrying about things. I'd deal with them as they came up. I hoped Grandpa would be understanding. Little did I know what fate had in store for us. By the time we got home, Grandpa would be in the know about everything and get an introduction to Peckertown and get a taste of our lifestyle. I closed my eyes and spooned into Haley. Tomorrow was another day. ************************************************************************ Stay tuned for Samurai Inc 18, "The Japan Adventure".
