Year 1687, the last days of April
Hakone, Ashi temple
Now the pig

Three months after receiving the letter of the master Oda, announcing the arrival of Sojiro in his life, a second letter came to re-edit the existence of Masanori Sato: Shogun drew him into the army. In Kyoto, the abdication of the emperor was preparing Reigen (1) in favor of the Bakufu old son and wanted to control the movements of the imperial house, so Tokugawa-sama was sending his most trusted men to patrol the estates, strongholds and temples around the capital west. Masanori A was tasked with overseeing the transition to the south, Uji, a city of temples and passage for those who went to the Lake Biwa.
"Finally something happens," said handing the letter to Sojiro, which until then had been immersed in his reading. The boy looked at the roll and he missed an amused smile, "nothing that will not happen in Kyoto, but it will be fun to pretend to play war with those awkward dandies of the imperialists' continued Masanori grinning.
"I will see you now with wearing the armor: the red demon, I call it that, no, master? "
" All nonsense, "but he laughed and immediately set about answering his master and sent to Edo directives, Matsumoto-san began to you need to prepare your trip "Tomorrow we leave for Edo, the first light of sun, so pick up our things and makes' prepare the horses," he said when he finished with match.
"Yes, Sato-sensei"
"It will be very instructive to see how you controlling a squad on a war footing"
"I can not wait, master!" It was fun to see such a good Masanori humor, his eyes shone and he kept fiddling with the tools for writing and lists what you should do before leaving Edo and what would have once taken possession of Uji.
"And before you leave Hakone do not have to do anything, master?"
"We warn the abbot of our sudden departure tomorrow morning, needless to disturb him at this time: it will already be in bed"
"Maybe you should go to greet what kind actor and return her fan "that did not escape Masanori
A Sojiro had avoided calling Ranmaru by name and noted mentally to be more careful for the future escapades, the boy did not escape anything. It was as if the same time saying that you forgive me for this but did not have to see again the kagema.
"Sojiro-kun, do not we turn around too, do you want?"
"What do you mean, master?"
"Did you know that I would go with one of them"
"The fact that you have fulfilled a need that with me you can not perform gave me trouble. I know my limits and I can not blame you for something that depends on me, but ... you could not see your expression while that Sasaki was performing at the refuge in the mountains: you were in worship. "
"It 'a very gifted artist, has an infinite grace. He would beat the heart of any man of quality "
" Do not was his artistic side to beat you and you do note that there should be hard to resist the charm of that mercenary type, but even that does not bother me too much. That boy is in love with you and I do not want you to find an excuse to still be able to meet again when we get to Edo "
" Nonsense, Sojiro-kun, you've seen too many kabuki plays. It 'a mercenary, you said yourself, his job is to recite "
" I do not usually make charges to other people, let alone one of my top, but it is true that there is a covenant between us , then for the sake of a quiet life, say goodbye to Sasaki-san. I do not care if you come back to me in terms indecorous last time, but come back! "
"I said I'd never done anything that can give you and so will be a disappointment: after tonight, do not ever see him again" said that he leaned forward and approached his lips to those of the boy, but they pushed the head to the side .
"I'll be yours when that is no longer a threat."
He had played the trump card: deny him what he had so far with ease, the perfect way to make him wish for one thing it was just forbidden from doing so. Sojiro had learned to know his weaknesses, and use them to extort what he wanted, too quickly, but it was a good boy and did not ask for nothing but what was his: he had promised Masanori to be the nenja was an indissoluble bond, was like a marriage between men, as all good and devoted wife, even his wakashu resented the presence of a third wheel in their relationship.
"Go and prepare your luggage now. See you tomorrow at the entrance of the temple "He waited Sojiro leave the room and wrote a short note to send to the House of lilacs:

Last night run to me, love me farewell at the dawn
