The Red Light District, nearly every large town or major city seemed to have one, it usualy was housed in the more seedy parts of the area, not many people really wanted to been seen viisting places like these and for good reason, it was a area in which sex workers did business, scarlet red lights would be placed in the windows of buildings to show they were open for business, this was the scene for the next major turn Yukio would take in his life
The ritual of daily training for the young rookie was one he practiced when ever he could, on the days he was unable to train his body, he would push himself beyond his limits in the following days session. one particular workout led the boy to this dank part of town, the older men gave him rather weird looks, the only women in sight seemed to be rather loosley dressed girls who wore very revealing garments, the men on the other hand were definetly something to turn your head at, each and every one of them looked like they had something to hide
What is this place
Yukio mused to himself as he stopped to take in his surroundings, the random red light in the windows intrigued him, bgeing so young and inexperienced with much of the outside world, he was confused as to why this was done
"Its a place were every mans dream comes true"
Yukio shuddred as he felt the slimy hand of what looked to be a rather suspicious looking man touch his shoulder, he instantly backed off and began to think over the words that he had just heard
Just as Yukio was brushing clean the mark left by the man he heard a rather loud crash and a shrill shriek that could only belong to a woman, it was comming form one of the buildings with the red light in the window, quickly reacting to this sign of danger, Yukio raced towards the entrance and kicked the doors in only to be stopped by two very heavy looking men
"Oi! No minors aloud!"
But I-!
Yukio noticed between the two men, a glimpse of the woman who the shriek had belonged to, she was one of these women in revealing clothes but Yukio only managed to get a look at her hair before a large fist belonging to one of the men was thrusted into his face
After being knocked across the street and into a pile of broken wooden crates, Yukio was really ticked off now and was more determined than ever to breach the walls of this establishment now
No minors huh?....
Yukio mused to himself once more, he had devised a plan already of how to enter, it was such a simple plan, he wanted to break through the entrance just to make sure nothing was wrong with that woman he had heard, if everything was alright he would leave things as they were
Yukio pulled the odd splinter from his arm and casualy walked away from the snickers of the men who had just watch a teenage boy get beaten quite badly, he wandred into a alleyway and leant up against the stone wall with one leg on the ground, the other pressed against the stone, his eyes were shut and arms folded, he was waiting for the comotion to die down somewhat before he put his plan into action
Alright...showtime
Yukio had waited patiently for half an hour to pass him by before he could initiate phase one of his plan, he concentrated for a breif moment before silently muttering the word
Henge...
Yukio had hoped that no one had heard the bang that came with the transformation, as the smoke cleared, a much older and mature looking man was now standing were Yukio once had been
After looking himself over, Yukio voiced his approval of how his transformation had turned out, it was exactly what he was going for, he looked back towards the building he was so rudely ejected from and began to take tall and confident strides towards it, this time insted of kicking it in, he gently rapped on the door with his knuckles, the door was slowly opened this time and the two hevay men still remained were they were the last time Yukio saw them
"Name?"
Yukio was silent for a moment as one of the men asked this question, he hadn't thought he would get asked questions he did not have answers to, after a short hesitation yukio let slip
Seijuurou
The men nodded at each other, apparently approving of him, he seemed to be the most decent looking one that had come through these doors, Yukio motioned to enter the building but was stopped once more
"Your Katana sir, weapons must be left at the door"
Of course
Yukio slowly pulled out his the sword on his back, Yukio had never been seen with a sword before so it would be hard for one to tell if it was part of the henge or if it was real, after placing the sword in the care of the two men, Yukio was finally aloud further into the place, the enrance room seemed to glow of a faint red and smelled of exotic perfume that tingled the senses
A mature woman who sported a few wrinkles on her face greeted the disguised Yukio with a bow of respect, she didnt seem to be much of a threat to anyone
"Greetings sir, how may the Scarlet Dragon serve you tonight"
Yukio almost scoffed at the name, it seemed so corny to him but he knew if he laughed out now it may just blow his cover. Yukio then relised, he had no idea what this place was for, he suddenly regretted this decision
"Now now sir no need to be shy, we have many women here to keep you company"
Yukio was now kicking himself inside, he put all the pieces together now, this was to put it simply, a whore house, but he was positive he saw that woman before in a state of suffering and was going to coniue with his plan
Ahem...sorry about that, I have a rather unqiue taste in women, I would like to spend some time with one that has long hair that has been done up in a rather interesting way
"Yes sir, I believe we have just the person you are looking for...Seiko darling.."
To Yukio's right, a thin curtain made out of soft fabric was pushed away, the woman, the exact woman Yukio had seen before presented herself before Yukio,
She had a look on her face that told Yukio she didnt want to take part in what she was expecting to happen, but once she looked up into the eyes of Yukio her expression instantly changed
"Seiko darling, this is Seijuurou, please wait for him upstairs, he will be with your shortly"
Seiko tore her gaze regrettably away from Yukio, she seemed genuinly interested in him, the old lady turned to Yukio and was about to say something more But Yukio knew what it was going to be, he dropped a small sack full of gold coins into the womans open hands and headed for the stairs
Keep the change
Upon seeing how much was in the bag, the woman almost fainted and quickly walked away so she wouldnt do soemthing to offend this gentleman who was not afraid to spend big
It had become quite late now, Yukio stood before the door which led to the room Seiko was in, he pushed it open and was met with a beautiful site, there she was, looking as innocent as ever, slowly pulling her garments down her body with her back turned to Yukio, she was standing in the moonlight that shone through the window. Yukio began to walk forward till he was behind the woman, he moved his arms out up her sides, she shook at the feel of his gentle hands but then made a noise of confusion, he wasnt trying to have his way with her, he was pulling the clothes back over her body till they were where they had been before
Seiko quickly turned and stared blankly at him, Yukio shook his head and walked to the eastern wall of the room and sat down, he was running over this in his head now, just make sure she is ok then leave, yukio still couldnt shake the feeling of just how far he seemed to be going to help this person out, but something inside told him he should
Sir, dont you wish to have-
No I dont, what I wish to know is if you are alright, have you been hurt by anyone this night, I have paid for your time, the least you can do is answer
But sir, why would you wish to know such things, I am not but a simple.....
She saw the look in Yukio's eyes once more and went quiet, Seiko nodded and sat down just a little ways away from Yukio with a slight smile on her face, with her job being what it was, no one ever took a interest in her well being before
Yes sir, I was assulted for not obeying the Mistress, but I am fine now! really no need to tell anyone I said that ok?!
Very well then, I shall-
No please, dont leave!...I mean you have paid for this time, please wont you stay for a little while longer sir?
Yukio could not resist the eyes that were being stared at him, Seiko was pleading with all her heart for him to stay, for someone to talk to, for some communication with somone who wasnt about to bark orders
As you wish
That is supposed to be my line
Seiko said with a little giggle as she playfully tapped Yukio's knee, her expresion changed to one of interest as she once more looked deep into Yukio
Please wont you ask me more question
Yukio smiled a real smile, he didnt force one like he usualy did, this was starting to turn out to be some night, he had gone this far, why not go further
Miss, how old are you, you look to be so young to be working in a place like this
Oh you are very bold to be asking a lady their age, but as this is your time I must answer, I am nineteen years of age, I am almost twenty….and yes I guess that is a young age to be working here
How did you end up here..
This question seemed to silence her temporarily but she was obligated to answer
I grew up in the water country, my parents owed a lot to the feudal lords and when they were unable to pay….they took me into slavery, I didn’t fight this decision, I just wished for my family to live in peace
Yukio didn’t look up at her while they spoke, after an hour of talking there was a gentle knocking at the door, the Mistress walked in to see the two of them sitting on the floor, she was a little surprised to see this but didn’t question it, he knew it was time to leave
Will you be back?
Seiko said in a begging sort of way, she was really desperate for this kind of contact with other people
Yukio nodded without hesitation before he exited the room to be on his way. This continued three times a week for the next month, Seiko was continually looking forward to these visits, there was nothing bad about it when this person came to see her, he made her feel good about herself. It had gotten to the point were Seiko was getting very happy in retelling her past, she would jump up and dash about the room with a smile on her face. There was one visit in which Yukio would never forget.
Oh Seijuurou can you hear that
Seiko was looking longingly out of the small window in the room, it was once more late at night and there seemed to be some kind of festival going on, music was filtering through the paper thin walls, this excited Seiko beyond explanation, that longing look did not escape her face when she looked right at Yukio
Come on lets dance!
For the first time since these visits began, there was full on contact, Seiko grabbed ahold of Yukio in a fit of ecstasy, it had seemed like forever since the last time she was able to dance to the sweet sounds of carefully played notes, the pair danced together for the full time that Yukio had been allowed
One week on, Yukio came by for one last visit, but this was going to be more than just giving up on her, Yukio wanted to get this girl out of here, out of this village, out into the world she had been shut away from
Seiko..
Seijuurou?.....whats the matter?
Seiko…have you heard of Madam Roze?
Yukio did not wait for an answer before he continued on, this was quite important to him and hoped it would be for her aswell
Madam Roze runs a colony of sorts for girls like you, she gives you a job, a decent place to reside in and respect, she helps girls like you reclaim your lives
Seijuurou….what are you….are you saying you want to liberate me from this place
She said in a hopeful way, also a fearful sort of way, if she tried escape she could end up dead
No…no you cant, I could never forgive myself if something happened to you because of me, you don’t know how strong the owner of this place is, he has many men at his side who are not afraid to commit his murders, please Seijuurou, please don’t try anything rash
Seiko! You do not deserve this, I will get you out of here, I give you my word
That would end Yukio’s shortest visit with Seiko to date, his mind was made made up and even though Seiko didn’t show his enthusiasm, he had come to understand her and knew this is what she wanted. Yukio returned to the compound back looking like his usual self, the guard stopped him at the gate and handed him a note with a look of great suspicion, the note read
“Mister Hiwatari, I will be arriving in Konoha in three days, I sent this message by my fastest stallion so by the time you read this I will be arrving tomorrow night around midnight, my carriage will be disguised as a merchant cart near gates
Roze”
Yukio smiled in triumph, everything was going perfectly, this elt like a actual mission to him, but no one was ordering him around, it was something he wanted to do.
