Sasha's hand lingered on his things for a beat after he'd placed them on the table. He drummed his fingertips softly on the dark lenses of the sunglasses as he actually tried to piece together what exactly his intentions were. He, of course, knew that he did no want to take advantage of Sayuri, physically or otherwise. She was his lifeline currently and he certainly didn't want to cross her and have her abandon him somewhere in the Japanese countryside, but, really, it was more than that. He wanted to do right by her. not because it was basic human decency, but rather because he valued her in a way that felt perhaps a little too complex and deep for someone he just met. He wanted to be someone who made her life better, even if it was only in the way of providing her a way out of her current situation, give her the freedom she so desperately craved. He wanted to show her what kindness he could provide because the world had been so cruel to her in ways he couldn't understand.

If he thought about that for too long, it made his heart squeeze.

"You said you wanted to go somewhere where the yakuza couldn't find you. Wherever that is, I want to make sure you get there." He said. "I won't ask anything from you, just that you get us where we need to be so I can make that happen."

Sayuri watched and listened to Sasha, she observed the thoughtful way he drummed on his glasses, she could see the sort of internal struggle to express himself in words. His declaration was moving, and she couldn’t help but believe it. She smiled, this one was different; not a sad smile of assurance, not a broad grin for playing. This one was small, demure but adoring, paired with a softness behind Sayuri’s eyes no one had probably seen before. To say Sayuri was falling in love with Sasha wouldn’t make sense for the time they known each other, but he was making it very difficult for her to feel any other way in this moment. Her eyes sort of glazed over, happy tears, but she pushed her wrist under her own stolen sunglasses to rub her eyes.

“Okay,” Sayuri answered finally, like she was accepting a proposal. “I’ll hold you to it.” She added, with her normal pleased grin now. She relaxed again, she kicked her shoes off from the side of the mattress before plopping back on the bed. She waved her hand over the space beside her as though to flag Sasha over. “You may as well settle in, unless you wanna show off in karaoke.” Sayuri said, sitting up slightly to point at the entertainment system with her chin. Although she expected Sasha would rather sleep, they walked so much today and they would undoubtedly have to walk more in the coming days. Sayuri tried not to think too hard about the things this bed had seen, a bed was a bed at this point. She would rather sleep here than on the shared futon back at the club.

Sasha looked over his shoulder at Sayuri, his brow quirked.

"Karaoke?" He asked, confused until he looked passed her and saw an entertainment system just beneath the TV with neatly stacked piles of CDs and, right next to the stand was a dated looking karaoke machine with two mics set atop it.

Sayuri sat up a little again to see what Sasha was looking at, watching him observe the stack of CD’s beside the karaoke machine.

“I’m sure they’re mostly Japanese, but there might be some Mariah Carey in there, she has a cult following here.” Sayuri suggested, though she was a little surprised to see him considering it.

Sasha let out a bark of laughter at that notion.

"Mariah Carey? Why her specifically?" He asked as he turned fully to stride over to the karaoke set up. Sayuri was right, most of the CDs were clearly Japanese, though there were a couple of extremely dated CDs that he recognized like Frank Sinatra and Doris Day. "These are even older than my parents." He laughed.

“She’s just huge here! Mariah Carey broke a record for sold out shows in Tokyo during her world tour in 1996 I think.” Sayuri explained with a chuckle as she sat up on her elbows to better watch him. “Anything speaking to you?” She asked.

"Mm, I don't know. Not much is-oh!" Sasha let out a surprised laugh as he continued to scan the CDs and came across a more recent gem, one that was not necessarily relevant to him but to his father and his siblings in their youth perhaps. He grabbed the case and held it up, amused. "People know t.A.T.u here?"

“Oh shit, they have t.A.T.u?” Sayuri exclaimed, hopping off the bed then to join Sasha at his side. She slipped her arms around his, and pushed up on her tiptoes to get a better look at the track list.

"They do." Sasha laughed as he pointed to a song on the list. "I remember helping my dedushka go through some old things my aunts and uncle left behind when they moved out and finding some old CDs from my aunties when they were young. I always liked Нас Не Догонят." He grinned.

Нас Не Догонят..” Sayuri repeated, doing her best to match Sasha’s pronunciation with intention. Apart of what made her a valuable asset to the yakuza, was her ear for language. Joe did offer his tutelage when it came to Sayuri learning English, but Sayuri’s success was all her own. She picked up English quickly, and with fluency. She hadn’t tried Russian before, but maybe she had an opportunity to.

“Are you going to serenade me?” She asked him then.

Sasha felt his heart (and something else) flutter at Sayuri's quiet attempt at the Russian title. His ears pinked a little, but he quickly tried to save face by letting out a little chuckle.

"I would, if you wanted me to, but I can't promise it would be any good." Sasha said.

Sayuri saw Sasha’s ears pink a little, but she chose not to tease him about it, though she wanted to. She released his arm and picked up the microphones, handing one out to him.

“Don’t be so hard on yourself, I’ll sing with you.” She said, smiling again.

—FF—

Sasha and Sayuri had their fun, making use of the rooms complimentary karaoke machine. Sayuri sang along with the Russian lyrics enthusiastically, it was hard to feel awkward when she was having so much fun. They continued to flip through old CD’s, each sharing anecdotal stories pertaining to whatever they came across that they recognized. The time had passed quickly, it was late now. They both washed up before retiring, taking turns; Sasha let Sayuri go first. The bathroom was not the cleanest, but it was surprisingly well stocked with hygiene products. There was deodorant and toothbrushes, even a decent face cleanser. Once she was done, she prepared for bed; she retired her cap and sunglasses on the same table that Sasha put his. She was still wearing Sasha’s jacket, she had slept in it the night they spent on the roof. But she decided not to sleep in it tonight, hanging it on a hanger in the nearby closet. She straightened out the sleeves and double checked the money in the breast pocket, once satisfied she collapsed back into the bad.

Sasha had never done karaoke, at least nothing quite as proper as this experience. He would casually sing along to songs he knew whenever they were played, not with genuine effort and certainly not for anyone else to hear, so this was the first time he did it with an audience, so to speak, and with intention. He was certainly no Mariah Carey or Frank Sinatra, but Sayuri didn't seem to mind, which in turn allowed him to simply enjoy the experience.

When it became late and the fatigue of the day began catching up to them, they turned off the karaoke machine and put all the CDs back in their respective cases. Sasha ceded the first shower to Sayuri before taking his own. Both were rather short considering they'd gotten a good soak at the onsen earlier that day. Sasha had bundled up in one of the robes that the hotel provided after giving it a thorough once over and was towel drying his hair when he emerged from the bathroom.

"We should probably leave early tomorrow." He said as he moved over to the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed as he worked the towel over his hair. "I didn't get the impression Joe and his friends were necessarily early risers, so it's best to try and move while they're still sleeping."

“You’d be right,” Sayuri began, settled in bed on her back. She wasn’t sure how tired she was, but she felt relaxed for sure. It was good to finally be off her feet, and a pillow under her head. The fluffy robes provided by the hotel weren’t so bad, they were cozy even. Which she was thankful for since the silver colored top sheets were thin, more for theme than for practical use. “We have enough too, we can take the train out.” She explained with a little yawn.

Sasha settled the towel over the back of his neck and turned to look over his shoulder at Sayuri with a grin.

"You really robbed everyone blind at the onsen, huh?" He teased.
