Ch 38 A New Friend Deals In Death

Still in Ko's office and happily sitting on his lap when three happy men walked in and then growled, you looked up at them smiled and ran for a hug, they kept glaring at Kokonoi, he just rolled his eyes you started babbling then you pulled out your card saying "look, I have another brother and it's all legal" they look down at the card and freeze then quickly look to Kokonoi with apologetic expressions.

Looking at them you ask "was the problem dealt with? Because I don't need that kind of drama" they grin and chuckle Pinky answered "yes all sorted Sweetness" you giggle, pulling you in to a short kiss Rin asks "you feeling okay to go out for another date?" you chuckle and say "I should be fine, depends on the date though" with a wink, they growl them chuckle.

The plans for today's date changed slightly, you were blindfolded and placed in the car, you drove for quite a while when you arrived they paid for the tickets and a information booklet. Standing outside they removed the blindfold and explained that they decided to take you to an old stronghold from ancient times, they had no idea about who the person was or what they did but they had found it online and thought you would love it.

Your grin stretched to cover your face and your eyes sparkled, you gave them all a kiss, and ran inside happily they followed chuckling and smiling softly, you wandered around found the soldiers training grounds, you were shown to the weapon museum and given replicas to play with. Your joyus laughter rang out from the kitchens and private rooms.

They had a small teahouse on the lake which you enjoyed, the gardens were well kept, everything was interesting for you. Finishing the tour you went into the gift shop browsing you found a book about the history of the stronghold and all the gritty details of the owners rise to fame, grabbing it you took it and found a small key chain, you bought 4 matching and 7 more in different designs.

Leaving you wandered around, the shops sneaking kisses and holding hands, giggles, chuckles and laughter was all you did as you walked through the old cobbled streets that surrounded the stronghold you came across a memorial, so you paid your respects to death. Turning to your men you said "this monument is incredible, it is old but you can see how well it has been repaired".

A old man watched you a small smile on his face when he saw you pay your respects and it got wider when he heard your conversation, feeling eyes on you not malicious you scanned the area until you saw an old tombstone shop, it was clean but old, tugging Pinky's shirt he bent down and you whispered "I want to go in to that tombstone shop, I think he repaired the memorial and we need a good traditional stone mason" he twitched and nodded.

You slowly made your way to his shop walking in you called out "hello, I was wondering if you could help me?" an old man walked out and he jumped slightly when he realised you were the youngsters he had just watched, he smiled and asked "what can I help you with young lady" you smiled and giggled and asked "did you repair the monument?" the old man nodded, you gasped and clapped asking "are you still in business and able to take on jobs?".

The old man sadly smiled, and said "I would love to, but I have to close down soon as not many people want my skills anymore" you grimace and say "what If I said I can take your shop under my company, and you can work for me?" he jerks meeting your eyes bewildered he asks "what did you need me for young lady?" smiling you said "my company has recently taken over 3 ancient cemeteries and they have been damaged and one had stones completely destroyed and I need repairs and replacements".

He stares at you in awe then says "are you sure, I would love to be involved in something like that, but why would you take the chance?" you giggled and danced happily when Sanzu answered him "Sweetness here was impressed with your repair skill, and she had a small obsession with death, her company is called Deaths Playhouse. It covers a wide range of things that include death"

The man looks at you slightly different and then he smiled big "in that case I would be honored and my name is Kyosoma" he looks at the other men with you and closes his eyes with a small puff of air and a chuckle he says "just ancient tombstones? I don't like the modern ones" you look at him smile and nod singing "no problem, it will be legal on your side of things" he smiles and laughs with you.

Having said yes he explains he was moving out as they wanted his shop for something more consumer friendly, you growled at that then snapped your fingers and say "give me a second" you pull out your phone and Kyosoma invites you all to sit, your men go and have a chat while you make your call.

The call is picked up and you say "I found the stone mason I need, he will sign up under the company but we need new premises for his work" the man sighed flipping through properties recently acquired and said "okay cutie, found it whats his name?" you answer back "Kyosoma I want that name on the shop and just state its partnered with" silence then a chuckle "clever girl" you giggle "bring him in, I will sort the contract" you sing "yes sir, brother sir" you hang up to his chuckles.

You turn to the party who are chatting but also watching you, sitting you say "we found you a new property to work from, we will own it and your company, but we will allow you to work outside of us if you want. I would like my work to take priority, but I can understand fixing history" Kyosoma smiled gently at you and said "thank you. Thank you for caring" you smiled and giggled.

You sat for a while talking about history and death, then you took him in to sign the contracts.
