Summary: Takeshi twisted at the waist, turning to face the fusuma doors at the sound of them clacking open. Kyouya, dressed in a gray yukata, stood under the doorway, a silent sentinel.
"Kyouya," Takeshi greeted easily.
Kyouya said nothing, staring for a long, deliberate moment. Then, he stepped forward, allowing the door to slide shut behind him.
"Yamamoto Takeshi," he said. "Why are there seven dead men on my porch."
