Summary
It was supposed to be a simple talent-scouting mission, the candidate loosely described by Leader to be a small, clever, red-haired woman ronin. Kakuzu, upon discovering her bounty of 15 million ryo, wished to simply kill the woman and turn her in for profit. Assuaged by Leader to, instead, consider the intelligence she possessed that justified her high bond, he accepts the mission.
It was to be the biggest mistake of his unnatural life… and perhaps, hers as well.

Summary
Two weeks following Princess Kikyō Genryusai Yamamoto’s birth, the entire imperial family was massacred. All under the order of one Aizen Sōsuke, chief architect and Yakuza kingpin. To Emperor Genryūsai Yamamoto, he extends an offer of his his organization’s protection and resources, as well as the restoration of the royal bloodline—all in exchange for the princess’s hand in marriage by her 18th birthday, as well as the rights to the Hōgyoku, an ancient holy weapon long guarded by the Imperial Family. Such would grant Aizen insurmountable political, economic, even cosmic power. Over the next decade, Aizen trains Kikyō as a future warrior and strategist for the Yakuza.
Despite accepting the offer, Emperor Genryūsai has other plans. He employs Kikyō to be the agent and protector of the Hōgyoku, with a sole mission: keep its powers out of Aizen’s reach. By any means necessary. The princess herself is apprehensive of what could come of her wielding such powers, and finds herself torn between continuing the provocative charade between her and her betrothed traitor and guarding the Hōgyoku, or simply allowing the world’s longest extant monarchy to burn out with her. After all, she is cursed no matter what.

Summary
“Tell me, chiquita, how long have you been waiting for me to show up?” Lalo’s voice was smooth, mocking, a grin curling at the corners of his lips as he leaned back in his chair. His eyes locked on hers, a spark of amusement flickering.
[Y/N] didn’t flinch. She sat there, arms crossed, an expression of detachment on her face. “I wasn’t waiting for you, Salamanca. I was waiting for the truth. But I’m starting to think that’s a wasted effort with you.”
Lalo chuckled, leaning closer, his gaze never leaving hers. “Always so serious, cariño. You’re no fun. You know, I’m starting to think you like this—this little game we play.”
The words hung in the air, thick with history. [Y/N] took a slow breath, meeting his challenge with a flicker of defiance. “I don’t hate you, Lalo. Hate would imply you’re worth my time.”
Lalo leaned in just a fraction more, his voice lowering to a soft purr. “But you’re here, aren’t you? I’d say that makes us more than just enemies, don’t you think?”
She shot him a look that could cut glass. “We’re not working together, Lalo. We’re tolerating each other because if we don’t, we’ll both end up dead.”
His grin widened.

Summary
I manage out a soft “please” as I try my best to steady the heaving in my chest. I hear the gravel on the floor shift as the man crouches down to me. I dare not look.
“Please, don’t kill me. Is that what you were going to say?” His irony truly gleams with his oxy-moronic disclosure. He repeats this line as if he’s heard it uttered a million times. I lift my head. His lips give a slight curl to the edges, he seems content with the position he is in. Holding a lethal weapon to my head, ah yes, this is what he likes. I’m screwed.Bookmarked by empressK
