A betrayal among the rosesHe hadn't planned of spying yet when he heard the soft murmurs, made hoarse by desire, he stopped in his tracks, a mischevious smile playing on his lips. This part of the rosary was very seldom visited by anyone, a realm of wild, tangled, heavily parfumed vines of wild roses that glowed with all the shades of pink and red, from palest pink to a garnet so deep in was almost black.Sano had come there because it was the only place he knew where Hade's favourites roses were growing, a hue that was almost the perfect match of his eyes and and he heard the low, urgent words behind a drape of deep green leaves and thorny branches, he stopped.

Path Mission 8: Favor for BuntaroPassing by the Fujihara compound, Yukiko heard someone call out to her.
