“Hearts can be a very dangerous place. And the only place where one can ever hide from the mind.”. Hoshi closed his eyes and nodded before leaning over and standing up, feeling his legs were still tense from the cold weather. At least the rain had lessened down to a barely notable drizzle. Hoshi closed his umbrella and swung its curved handle around his index finger a few times before finally bringing it to rest on his shoulder as he led Ieyasu through an alleyway filled with empty boxes that led behind a nearby baker.



Things smelled good here but they were barred from entrance by a ‘wall’ formed of logs and fences. There was also a ‘Danger’ sign which was quickly disregarder as Hoshi leaped over it, jumping up two and a half yards and positioning himself sideways while using his hand to push himself off the top and to the other side in one fluid motion. Landing on the ground with a ‘thumf’ the Yamanaka’s keen eyes scanned through the outside storage space, also noting a large outside stone over that was up and running. “Find somewhere to hide and I’ll show you what I was talking about.”. If Ieyasu agreed, Hoshi would nod and crouch slightly while stealthily moving behind creates and barrels before taking up position behind the stone over.



And then he waited. One minute passed, two, five, and then some seconds before the backdoor of the bakery opened and footsteps were heard approaching the large stove. It was then that Hoshi tossed  a coin a few yards to the right of him, prompting the curious baker to have a look at the stroke of fortune. But just as the middle-aged man was about to close his fingers around the shiny coin he froze in place. Hoshi formed a square out of his thumbs and index-fingers. “Shintenshin no Jutsu.”. Was the last thing he said before his body seemed to be frozen in place.



It was then that the baker man straightened himself and looked over at Ieyasu’s direction before whispering in a brittle voice “Give me a few minutes to secure access up to the roof.”. The baker bowed his balding head and walked back inside his store. Hoshi, who’s consciousness had now taken control of the baker, looked around the simple store while an elderly woman asked me “Why did you forget the bread?”. To which Hoshi replied. “I’m feeling quite sick. It must be the cold. I’m getting a blanked from upstairs.”. The wife nodded with concern and continued filling baskets with today’s product while Hoshi headed upstairs.

He closed the curtains and then walked back downstairs. Taking the baker’s wife by the hand he said “I can’t find my blanket, please help me look for it?”. The wife smiled and nodded while tagging back to the first floor. Hoshi had already seen the key in the door on his way up and now closed it after he and the wife were both inside the room. Locking it carefully, the wife noticed nothing as she looked through the closet. Not until Hoshi opened the window and dropped the key outside in front of the smoking oven which was smoking the bread was starting to get a bit burnt.

Follow me.”. Upon walking out from behind the oven, Hoshi picked up the key and pocketed it before opening the door for Ieyasu. “After you.”. If Ieyasu walked inside, Hoshi would follow and lead the way upstairs to the attic, but as they reached the second floor they’d her cries for help and slamming against the door. Hoshi, who did not wish to give his voice way, ignored them and continued all the way up until they got in the attic. Then dropping to a crouch, Hoshi stealthily moved over to the left corner of the large window, and peeled back the black curtains to scan the streets.
