On Dealing with Barbarians
Two days after Rose Logan's kidnapping, Jushiro Harada watches the young woman through the bars of her cell in the sub-basement beneath his Tokyo home. She'd been in sorry shape upon her arrival, with more bullet holes in her than he'd directed Foxx to use. If Rose had died, Harada would have had to reconfigure his plan to draw out the man called Wolverine, and possible go after one of his sons. The idea still appeals to him, but only if he finds that he must kill Rose Logan.

And if he must kill Rose Logan, she will suffer first.

The doctors spent hours removing the bullets without any sort of pain medication, at Harada's direction. Every bullet was eventually removed, including the carbonadium, allowing her to heal and regain some of her senses. Even in her battered state, she'd still managed to maim two more of his guards. It was then that they chose to use the "Madripoor Cocktail" he'd concocted, mixing opium with liquid Carbonadium and forcibly injecting it into her system. Since then, Rose was most incoherent, though she managed a lucid moment or two as her body tried to fight off the poisoning.

And every time, the name "Joey" spilled from her lips.

Today, Jushiro stands outside of Rose's cell, simply looking down upon her with disdain.

"Rose-san, I trust your...accomodations are to your liking?" he asks in English. He's not sure the barbarian can speak Japanese. He's not even sure she can /read/.

Rose can't remember the last time she'd felt this bad. Just about every part of her hurts. She recognizes the signs, knows she's been drugged; worse, she's not even sure she can feel her healing factor working. She's certainly been out of it long enough for that to have worked.

It does not suggest good things. Her memory of the last two days is hazy, but what she does remember makes her blood boil.

But she needed answers... needed... answers.

"Think... it might look better... with yer... intestines... decoratin' it..." she manages.

	"Ah, the quintessential 'Ugly American' in her element." Harada says, his eyes narrowing in distaste. He straightens his tie and watches her flounder in her cell. "Tell me, gaijin, are you always so crass or is this a special occasion?" he asks. "I hear that your father was also just as crass and arrogant, if not more so." Harada says.

	Rose looks at the one of him she's pretty certain is the real one. "M' dad's worth twenty of ya, ya scum-sucker," she growls. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Your father is a formidable warrior. He managed to murder my grandfather, dishonor my family and is responsible for the death of my Aunt Mariko. Logan-san has tread upon my family's honor and tattered it, but Clan Yashida remains unbowed and unbroken.

He defiled my aunt and cost her her honor before her death." Jushiro says, narrowing his eyes at Rose coldly as he speaks again.

"I can do no less to his daughter and retain my honor." he says.

"But you will learn more at our wedding." he smiles, though it does not reach his eyes.

Well, color her surprised. Going from goon-squad to Samurai-stuff was a big leap. But she manages not to show this on her face.

"Over... my dead... body!"

With a growl, she pops her claws (oh, dang how that hurt even more without the healing factor working) and charges the door. She slashes against the bars, but they're tougher than her claws can pierce, and the pain threatens to bring her to her knees.

"Be careful what you wish for, gaijin. You may yet have it." Harada smiles as she charges the door. He looks at her with growing curiosity.

"I can only imagine the pain you must be in right now, using your claws without your ability to heal. If you are so eager to be dominated, I will oblige you, Rose-san. However, our marriage will be the only one you shall ever have.

After all, it's not as if that imbecile you've chosen even knows where you are. Last night, you told him that you don't love him anymore and that he deserves better than being shackled to an animal for the rest of his life." Harada tells her.

"In fact, if what Foxx told me about this Joey you speak of is true...he's probably on a plane somewhere to pick up his old life, since you outlined to him in great detail that you want nothing more to do with him.

So, in truth, marrying me is the only choice you have left." Harada taunts.

Red threatens to creep into Rose's vision, his words combining with the pain to push her close to the edge.

She sinks to her knees at last. God. Better Foxx had killed Joey than to have put him through that kind of torment. Hurting him was the absolute last thing she wanted to do.

She looks up at him and her eyes are far more animal than human. "Ya can't keep me locked up or drugged up ferever. Sooner or later, somethin's gonna slip. And when it does... I'm gonna make you wish I'd killed you quick."

"You...you're serious." Harada says, looking at Rose in shock as he sees looks into her eyes. For a full moment, he says nothing else, keeping his eyes locked on hers.

Then throws his head back and laughs at her. Loudly. In fact, the sound of his laughter is the only sound between them for two full minutes.

When he's done, he looks down upon her again.

"Foolish girl. I have trained for /years/ to be able to fight your father on his level, against whatever savagery he can bring to bear. The men I have killed in pursuit of this knowledge are more than your feeble mind can safely comprehend, yet /you/ think you stand a chance?

Your father will be lucky if he can survive me, but I know him. He will not seek a fight or he may bring his allies.

Perhaps I'll cut off a small piece of you each day for the next week and mail them to him one by one. I will stoke his anger until he cannot see straight and then he will come here full of arrogance and rage.

Then I will show him your severed head and he will attack me. Then I will him and mount both of your heads upon spikes for my enemies to behold. Your brothers will follow and then /all/ shall know the price of defying Clan Yashida." Harada says, the first traces of true emotion creeping into his tone. His eyes are those of a fanatic, someone who /knows/ that what he says and intends to do is true and right.

"No man can stand against the Silver Samurai, Rose Logan, and live. Not even the Wolverine and his crass spawn."

	She'd meant every word. And on some level, that scares her. On another, she embraces it. That level of nasty is what's going to keep her alive. Rose bites her lip to keep from screaming for him to leave David alone. Misha, she knows, can handle himself. "Yer a dead man walking, buster," she growls. "One way or th' other. Ya just don't know it yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You would be horrified at who and what I know, Rose-san, especially where /you/ are concerned." Harada says.

"Dinner will be brought to you shortly. I'm certain that you desire food. All animals do." he condescends, turning to leave the detention area. He begins to walk away, then stops.

"Hiding in that school keeps your father and brothers safe. It keeps many people safe. But think for a moment of those who leave that place. Look at yourself. But even now, you are somewhat secure as long as you don't displease me.

But what of Joey? My men reported that he'd gone to a bar and drowned his sorrows in alcohol. The following morning, he got a plane to London, England. He's staying at a hotel called the "Alliance Suites" in Brighton.

It would be unfortunate if an accident happened to him while he was staying there. A group of men, armed with guns, knives and other implements could...how did you put it earlier?

Redecorate the room with his insides? And who would even /know/, besides you and I? Who would care?" Harada asks.

"I leave you to think about that, Rose-san, as you contemplate your chances of escaping this place before I've finished with you. His life depends on your cooperation with me. If he dies, his blood will be on your hands." Harada finishes.

With that, Rose is left alone in her cell.

Left alone with her thoughts, Rose is determined not to cry, not to show the least sign of fear. And she won't. Because she's a Logan, and they're tougher than that.

If anything happened to Joey... she'd never forgive herself.

But it was just like she'd said before in the restaurant. Either he was going to kill Joey or he wasn't. Which meant that nothing she did had anything at all to do with the outcome.

She retracts her claws, wincing at the pain. For now, she needs time to think and plan.
