avya7x Summary: He is in revenge, his family being killed by a samurai clan that was reign that time. What he should choose Love or Revenge?
The long line of geisha was ready for the selection of the boss. He was ready for it. He sees many of them crying upon leaving the room. He starts to sweat he didn’t think the selection would be so difficult that he’d have to focus. Then it was his turn, he took in a deep breath and calmed himself.
"You may come in" The guard samurai said.
"Hai" He replied and entered the room
+++
"Jin-san this is the next geisha" The samurai guard said.
"It's a male geisha, and I specifically said I wanted a female geisha!" Jin said looking at him intensely.
The guard pushed him back outside the room but...
"Wait, come here and let me see him again." Jin suddenly changed his mind
He walked closer to him, while Jin surveyed his features there’s something familiar about this man he said to himself.
"What is your name?" Jin asked.
"It's Kamenashi Kazuya my lord" Kame replies.
Jin got up and stood closer to Kame, he then again checked his features and can't help to notice something familiar about his eyes. “His eyes are so familiar, where have I seen them before and this person is extremely beautiful even though he’s a guy. “What am I thinking" Jin said to himself.
"Okay, he will be my geisha." Jin said and walked back to his seat to make a call and whispered something.
"Arigato" he replies. He keeps himself calm even though he’s angry.
"So this is the boss who killed my family." he said to himself.
"Come on I’ll take you to your quarter. You have to come with me, so that you can change." A samurai guard grabs his arm.
Jin sees that the guard touches Kame.
The guard’s face was red he was afraid of having made the boss angry. So the other guard led Kame without touching him. When they were out of the room he questions the guard who was with him.
“I will take care of this, follow me.” The other guard said who was the one Jin had been talking to a while ago.
"The boss is so scary ne." He asked but his guard just nodded.
"And possessive. He doesn't want anyone touching his slave." Kame still wants to get information out of him. The guard just looks at him then glances around to check if the other guard is with them.
"Actually this is the first time, that he doesn’t want his geisha to be touched by anyone and this is also the first time that we have a male geisha here at the mansion." The guard said.
"Really! By the way, I'm Kamenashi Kazuya; since we’ll be working together I thought I should introduce myself. What should I call you?" Kame asked and smiles.
"I'm Yamashita Tomohisa, are you sure that you want to our boss’s slave?" Yamapi questioned him.
"Of course, why do you ask?" Kame asked
"We'll even though he’s my best friend he has a nasty temper that everyone is afraid of." Yamapi said.
"You’re his best friend, but why are you a guard only." Kame asked
"I'm not just a guard; I'm the head of his samurai men." Yamapi replies.
"Oh....." Kame said thinking that he has to watch out for this person so that his plan will not fail.
"Hai, here we are this will be your room, Jin-sama’s room is on the right side so when he calls you have to comply to him immediately, He’s in a bad temper whenever someone disobeys him." Yamapi said.
"Arigato, ne, Yamapi-chan" Kame said and bows to Yamapi.
"Sleep well your service will start tomorrow." Yamapi said while bowing and leaving him at his room.
When Kame was in his room he smiles, his plan was already working he just has to be careful in handling it. He first has to befriend Yamapi he’s not sure, maybe he can use him in his revenge.
Flashback
He was playing in their small garden in the backyard of their house suddenly he hears some noise coming from inside. He takes a peek and see’s his parents talking to a man who’s in a dress like his father, but has a long sharp sword on his waist.
He continued to watch them and he see a boy age or older than him by a year or so, taller and leaner than him. He was amazed by his looks he is so handsome, wearing the same outfit like the other man in the room with long eyelashes and silky skin. He was mesmerized by that little boy, when he heard his mother shouting and his father afraid but trying to protect his mother.
He sees the slashing of the sword that kills his parents in an instant. He cries but stops himself from crying out loud. He knew that if they see him they will kill him. He ran back to the backyard and goes to where he played hide and seek with his father. He hid himself there until the bad guys left.
Trembling at the fact that his mother and father were dead he came back to the house, and sees blood seeping from their lifeless bodies. He screamed out loud the sorrow and his fright come out in a loud and endless cry. He promises himself that he will take revenge on those who killed his loving parents.
End of Flashback.
Kame cries whenever he remembers those painful memories that hunt him every time he remembers his parent. Those painful memories are the only one’s that have helped him survive in this world. The family that brought him up was family of geishas; he learned their way knowing that someday it would become useful in his revenge. He learned every single technique and even being a courtesan he tried to master it. The family that brought him up did not take away the pain from his loss. They are also his family but his true family is waiting for him to seek justice in their name. He grips his hand and curses only time will tell when I can accomplish my revenge.
"Father, Mother, I'm on the first step towards revenge. I will avenge you soon enough." Kame said tears flowing on his cheek and drifting back to sleep.

Jin was walking back and forth in his room; he remembers what happened that day. He sees those eyes again; those eyes have haunted him for years. He sighed then he hears a knock.
"Come in" he said to his visitor, he already knows who it is.
"You called for me?" Yamapi asked
"Yes Pi, I called for you. Did you take him to the room that I instructed you to?" Jin replies with a question.
"Hai, but why does he have to stay in that room. He’s just a geisha, a slave for that matter for you. Why should a courtesan be given a room that luxurious? Do you have an interest in him?” Yamapi asked.
“Do you remember what I told you before, about those beautiful eyes that have haunted me in my sleep?” Jin told him.
“Hai, I remember, I told you that you fell in love with those eyes or fell in love with that person.” Yamapi said and laughed.
“I’ve seen them again.” Jin replies seriously.
“What? Do you mean that man is the one you saw and the reason for your sleepless nights?” Yamapi frown
“Hai” Jin replies.
“Wait you also said to me that your father killed that person’s parents so he’s here for revenge. I have to go back and arrest him.” Yamapi said and turns around read to leave the room.
“Pi, I don’t want you to do that.” Jin said.
“Why? He’s a threat to you” Yamapi asked.
“Please just don’t do anything to harm him. Just let him be.” Jin pleaded to Yamapi
”Are you nuts? I’m your head samurai and I’m in charge of your well being, then do you want me to be nice to your assassin.” Yamapi said
“I know, but I can handle this one.” Jin said.
“Your father should be blamed for this, he killed so many people and now you are the one who is suffering regarding those matters.” Yamapi said
“We can’t blame him anymore he’s already gone.” Jin replies
“What do you want me to do with Kame-chan” Yamapi said
“Kame-chan?” Jin asked
“Yes, his name is Kame, he told me” Yamapi said
“You’re on first name basis already” Jin said pissed.
“Hey, are you jealous of me” Yamapi asked
“No! Of course not.” Jin tries to hide his feelings by laughing.
“Are you sure that you don’t have any feelings for him, I can make him fall for me, so that he will forget his revenge.” Yamapi said he wants to know if his friend has feelings for Kamenashi.
“Pi, just watch his every move and no you can’t date him, he’s my geisha.” Jin said anger written all over his face.
“My, my, such a possessive declaration.” Yamapi said.
“I’m still your boss, so you have to obey me. Now leave.” Jin replies.
“Okay, I know when I’m not needed anymore but I’ll still watch his every move for your sake” Yamapi bows and leave the room.
Jin remembers that time.
Flashback
He was the next successor to the throne of his father’s samurai clan, one time he was forced to go with him.
“You are my son; you have to know how I deal with people.” His father said.
“Where are we going father? And why does mother not want me to go?” he asked to his father.
“I have to teach you the way of our samurai, don’t mind your mother.” His father said and led the way to their horses.
When they reach their destination, he sees people trying to run from them, they enter the house and he can see the fear in his eyes. A woman was glancing around outside of the house as if she were looking for someone.
He tries to find who she was looking without his father’s knowledge and there he sees that pair of beautifully eyes peeking out from between the walls of the house. He was mesmerized by those beautiful eyes. Then, he sees the face of the owner of the eyes when he hears a scream. His father has killed the two people in sight. He was stunned this is the first time he’s watched his father kill someone. He looked at the person that’s hidden between the walls, he sees those beautiful eyes crying and hatred reflected in them.
“Don’t cry they will hear you.” He said to himself he knows that the little one cannot hear him.
He wants to protect the owner of those eyes, but he knows he can’t do it his father will be angry with him and if they notice the younger one they will kill him. So he keeps his mouth shut and doesn’t glance at those eyes again. After the killing his father’s sword man searches the house finding some money that the family owned. He sees the younger man run back to the backyard. When his father’s sword man was about to walk in the direction of the backyard, he holds his breath and tries to think of some way to buy time, so that the younger man will be able to hide himself, instantly something comes to him.
“You! Get me some water; there’s a splash of blood on my shoe.” He said trying not to stammer. When he knew that the younger boy is safe, he does his best to relax.
End of Flashback
Now he sees those eyes again, a pretty young man is now his geisha. He knows that Yamapi is right; the young man is here for revenge. But after seeing him again, his loneliness was filled with happiness. He hopes that he knows what he’s doing. There are only two outcomes for this situation, his death or the death of the young one.
