Ruby Chan:
Reclining in his shabby but comfortable chair, Kurogane stared out of the window, pursing his lips. Judging from the evidence, this should be an easy case to win, and he had no doubt that the nervous boy he had seen today had had nothing to do with his father's murder. However,  he knew from experience that Seresu Law Society had a habit of managing to turn up new evidence at the last minute in cases like these, firmly proving their opposition's guilt and securing their payrises......

Kurogane had been suspicious of the firm for years, and was sure that they were cheating somehow....lying in court, producing false evidence.....using actors as 'shy' witnessess who'd been too scared to step forward until now....but he had never been able to prove it. And now, he was up against their top lawyer.

Fai D. Flowright....I've heard much about you. Your wit in court, your skill....and the fact that you're Chairman Ashura's lapdog. Does he feed you scraps at the end of the day if you've done well? Does he pat you on the head? Well, the game's over Fai, because this is one case I won't lose.

Pikari:
A thin smile came over Ashura's lips, one of cold approval. Yes, he'd taught the man well. Innocents were best ones to take advantage of. After all, if they were too naive to watch out for themselves, who could be blamed for that? "Good... very good," he replied shortly.

He stood, turning his back on the blonde as he walked back to the desk, picking up one of the unrelated files that lay there. "I'm sure in your research you'll be able to come up with more 'witnesses'," he hinted coolly, sinking into his tall throne-like desk chair.

Sakaki:
"I'm sure in your research you'll be able to come up with more 'witnesses',"

"Don't I always?" Fai replied, smiling at the dark-haired man. "Nearly anyone can be convinced they saw something, heard something..." Fai stated, as he poured a glass of the sake and walked over to the large chair, leaning back against the edge of the desk, and offering the glass to Ashura. "No worries, Ashura. The boy will be marked guilty by the jury the moment he opens his mouth up there on the stand."

Fai leaned in close then, looking to Ashura with thoughtful eyes, "Is the boy guilty, Ashura? Did he kill his father?" Then thinking twice about his question, deciding he perhaps didn't want to know, Fai began to turn away.

Pikari:
Ashura's eyes narrowed as they fell on the photograph of the boy that lay on the open file.

"Is the boy guilty, Ashura? Did he kill his father?"

"He's guilty." Catching Fai's wrist before he could turn, Ashura jerked it, forcing the blonde lawyer off balance and into his lap. "You're a prosecutor, Fai," he reminded. "They're always guilty. And that's all you need to know." Bending his head, he breathed in softly beside Fai's ear, relishing the shiver he felt from the other man. Leaning back, he let his fingers run lazily through unruly blonde hair. "If you've been working all morning, perhaps we could take a break?"

Sakaki:
"He's guilty."

Fai had then turned to walk away when he'd felt a rough tug at his wrist, and finding himself suddenly in the dark-haired chairman's lap... within his grasp... the blonde started to speak, only to fall silent as Ashura moved close at his neck, breathing him in... and Fai felt a shiver run down his spine... felt the man's long fingers tangle in his hair...

"If you've been working all morning, perhaps we could take a break?"

"Ashura... I think..."  But upon looking up into the man's dark eyes, seeing Ashura's expression begin to change... "Of course..." Fai whispered, the guilt or innocence of the boy forgotten, as his bright eyes slid slowly closed. "Whatever pleases you, Ashura..."
