At precisely 8 pm Hidan was standing outside with a bouquet of red poppies. He rang the doorbell and checked that his hair was slicked back perfectly. He smirked as Tenno opened the door and sighed in annoyance when he saw Hidan. "Come in, sir" the last word dripping with venom. Hidan pushed his way past Tenno, tossing him the bouquet and asking "where is she?!" Umiko came into the foyer, stuffing her lipstick into her clutch.

Hidan's eyes widened and his lips stretched into a grin as he took in her dress that showed some cleavage, hugged her hips and ended at mid thigh. He followed her legs down to a pair of strappy heels that were tapping with impatience. He jerked back up, cleared his throat and said "my lady" while holding his arm out for her. Umiko sighed, rolled her eyes and took his proffered arm while saying goodbye to Tenno.

"So you have no idea what killed the kid?" Hidan asked as he leaned back in chair and twirled his wine glass in his hand. "No. It's a complete mystery for the medical staff right now" Umiko responded while tapping her napkin to her lips before she took a sip of her wine. "Well it hasn't come across my desk. If I get a new shit case I'm gonna tell my bastard boss to shove it up his ginger ass!" Hidan said, sitting up and flicking the candle's flame while resting his head on his hand.

Good to know the police haven't opened an investigation just yet. We still have some time, Umiko thought while smiling to herself. "Whatcha smiling about?" Hidan asked while still pouting a little about the possibility of having more work. "Just enjoying your company" she responded and gave him another smile. He brightened up and reached out and touched her hand. When she didn't move her hand away, he relaxed and rubbed her hand with his thumb.

As the candles on the table burned lower on the table and their conversation came to a close, Hidan paid the bill and helped Umiko to her feet. He was walking behind her, staring at her ass as it moved in her dress, as they were leaving the restaurant. His hand reached out and cupped a firm, yet supple, cheek.

Umiko froze in her spot and slowly turned around, her brown eyes blazing. Hidan gulped and stepped back, fear on his face. Umiko stepped forward, raised her hand holding her clutch behind her and then brought it forward, slapping Hidan in the face. The sound of the smack echoed throughout the restaurant and the patrons and staff looked on in shock. Hidan cupped his cheek and looked at her in shock as she quivered with anger. "Don't you EVER touch me again! In fact, don't call me ever again! WE ARE THROUGH!" she screamed as she drew her hand back again. Hidan held his hands up in surrender and watched her storm off, her hands quickly dialling a number on her phone.

Sasori slowly and methodically sliced a sliver of tissue off the biopsy sample he had taken from Rin. Using forceps he placed the specimen on to a slide and put it under the microscope. After adjusting the view his frowned as he looked at the cells in front of him. He could see a tunnel between the layers of tissue and the cells that were at the tunnel's edge were burst and turning necrotic. He was stabbed? Only a needle would leave this fine of a track mark. So he was injected. But with what?

He sat at his workbench, thinking, before getting up and grabbing Rin's medical file. He had requested his medical records and they had been faxed over. Scanning the records he didn't find what he was looking for which confirmed his suspicion. Turning to his left, he grabbed a thick and dusty volume from the shelf and slammed it open on his desk. He flipped to the section titled Poisons and Their Effects on Surrounding Tissues and Anatomical Structures.

He began reading: "Some poisons have been noted to be corrosive to adjacent cellular structures. The theory is that the cell's walls are punctured during the administration of the poison and thus are able to absorb the material and in turn, destroy surrounding cells causing the necrotizing to spread". The book went on from there but Sasori had read enough.

He went back to his workstation and proceeded to slice more of the sample and begin his toxicology examinations. He will find out which poison had killed such a promising young man and he will bring his murderers to justice!

Shinju sat on the bed's edge with one leg crossed over the other, lazily twirling a multi tailed whip. "Ok, everything has fresh batteries, just in case...condoms...lube...lights are dimmed...yeah, we're good to go." Kay said as she turned to face Shinju. "We just need him" she said as she stretched out on the bed. "I left him a note." Kay said as she adjusted her outfit. "I hope he doesn't take long. I've been wanting to dig my nails into him and see him cry for too long!" "Don't break him completely. He's still our butler and technical guardian." "I can't make any promises" Shinju said while chuckling darkly.

Tenno entered his room and sighed as he loosened his tie. He had gotten Umiko to the hospital where she had wanted to work out her anger through her work. He spotted the folded note on his nightstand and walked over and picked it up. He unfolded it to read:

Tenno

Come to the room with the red painted door. We need to discuss your continuing employment.

It was unsigned. Tenno clenched his tie as he reread the note over and over. Are they unsatisfied? I try so hard to anticipate their needs! Or is it the men, wanting to force him out because of their petty jealousy? He thought as he retied his tie and straightened his shirt. He walked briskly to the room the note mentioned; he had passed by this room every day but he was forbade from going in there. Even his master key couldn't unlock it.

He reached the door and stood there, garnering his composure and catching his breath. Once he was calm he knocked on the door. "Come in~" he heard. He gripped the doorknob and turned it and opened the door. His eyes widened in shock as he tried to take in the room, it's implements and the two women standing front of him. "Close the door" Kay commanded. He did as she told, "kneel" Shinju said. He kneeled on the ground and looked at them. "Mistresses?"
