Kenei Sumino is one of Kagehisa Anotsu's top lieutenants in the Itto-ryu, but he has a weakness for women. When Sumino intervenes in a marital quarrel, he thinks he's got himself a little beauty for the night. But he may have signed on for a wilder night than he expected. For the kimono beauty he's picked up for an evening of pleasure is none other than Hyakurin herself, the leader of the Akagi assassins.
