Another Piece of the Puzzle
With his injury after the battle with the goddess in Hungary, Keiji had a lot of time to think. Mostly he thought about some way to help Amiko advance her investigation of Hajime's killer.He wracked his brain for possible connections between power players in the Hand and how the mystery man fit in.

And then an obvious fact came to mind that slapped him in the face. Keiji made his way gingerly to Amiko's office. He knocked on the door once.

"Amiko-san. I have to talk to you," he said urgently. He omitted "chan" due to being unaware if she had a visitor.

	Keiji let Amiko take the lead a they approached the house. The security guard nearby moved to ask for Amiko's credentials. The guard eyed Keiji warily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Amiko displayed her credentials, and maybe added just a touch of implied 'I have the prime minister on speed dial' to her impassive expression. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The guard promptly let them by, seeming a little cowed. Keiji suppressed a smirk as they went. There Shinsuke sat in the living room, watching an episode of Sasuke. "Keiji-sama! Amiko-chan!" The older man greeted, standing up quickly. "Good to see you!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Amiko bowed slightly. "Good to see you too, Shinsuke. You seem to be well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Keiji looked like he didn't know how to respond at first. AT first he bows too. "It is..good..to see.." and then he just abruptly hugs the older man. Shinsuke seems surprised at first, but then returns the hug.

"I am," Shinsuke assures. "though I miss going out more often. Not that I mind in the slightest, but what brings you here?"

Keiji reluctantly let go. "My friend, there is something we need your help with."

	"This is how Keiji remembers him," Amiko says, pulling out the forensic artist's sketch. "The amulet he's wearing is relevant to a murder investigation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Shinsuke looked at the picture and visibly blanched. "Are you all right?" Keiji asked, concerned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I doubt two would fill even a quarter of the lives this man has reputedly taken," Shinsuke said quietly. "He has served the Hand for years as a 'problem-solver', assigned to complete difficult tasks with quiet and efficiency. I do not know his full name, or even if it is his name, but the name Sosuke has been said more than once." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, killing these two men certainly was a complex task. Do you happen to know whom he was working for...when did you see this Keiji? It is little use getting the gunman, even if we can, without getting who sent him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He supposedly answers directly to the jonin, but is loaned out to lesser lords at his discretion," Shinsuke answered. "It was at least ten years ago," Keiji replied. "Was he shadowing someone?" Shinsuke asked. "I..yes! Lord Kobayashi! He stayed close by him at all times." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The two men looked at each for an awkward moment before Shinsuke spoke. "He was a fairly prominent lord for awhile. He gained a sudden influx of followers and was attaining great power within the Hand. Rumor was he was going to make an attempt to become jonin, but for some reason nothing ever came of it."

	"I do not believe so. As far as I know he still has a compound, but he hasn't been seen leaving it in some time." (Reply to this)(Parent)
