Collusion

"Oh, shit," Akaya breathed; the brat sounded terrified. "Oh shit oh shit oh shit."

"We get the point already," Marui snapped, tense. "If you don't have anything to contribute, then for fuck's sake, shut up."

"We're gonna die," the brat said. "Sanada-san is gonna kill us."

Masaharu eyed the rather pathetic remains of their fukubuchou's hat; he had to say, Akaya was probably right. "Then we'd better think fast, hadn't we?"

Hiroshi cleared his throat. "If I might make a suggestion...?" he murmured. As one, they turned to look at him. "I might have an idea."

"We're all ears," Masaharu said.

"Now," Hiroshi said, pushing up his glasses, "you know that buchou has never liked that hat..."

Masaharu began to grin as Hiroshi outlined his plan; they could call Marui whatever they wanted, but it was clear that his partner was the real team genius.

"you know that buchou has never liked that hat..."

-grins hugely- Oh, Yagyuu. Pure winnery. XD

*laughing* If they play their cards right, Yukimura will thank them for services rendered.

:D

[lysapadin]

*laughing* Yeah, they'd really better be prepared to do some fast talking to get out of this one.

That was so amusing! I could picture them clearly when they freaked out over that hat. And I love the ending line.

Thanks for sharing~

[lysapadin]

*laughing* Yeah, Niou is pretty convinced that Yagyuu could wipe the floor with Marui's brain. Er. Yes. Something like that. *amused*

Thanks for commenting!

plan...

[yamipenguin.livejournal.com]

And exactly what kind of plan did Yagyuu come up with? And do they realize that for a plan to actually work, they will need to get Seiichi to cooperate? If he doesn't cooperate with them then the plan never will work!

Re: plan...

[lysapadin]

I believe Yagyuu's clever plan is to persuade Sanada that it's really a favor to Yukimura to stop wearing The Hat.

And, well, it kind of is, so I expect Yukimura will be inclined to go along with it, at least until the next time he needs to motivate the conspirators. Because he's crafty like that.

*dying* Is it wrong of me to wish there was more to this fic? At the very least, Yukimura's reaction? Because this is just so fantastic.

[lysapadin]

*laughing* No, not wrong at all!

*thinks* Yukimura probably listened to Akaya and Marui explaining that, purely out of the goodness of their hearts, they had hatnapped Sanada's hat and disposed of it with a perfectly straight face, nodding at key points and saying, "I see" and "I see" a lot. And meanwhile, through a combination of wiles, fast talking, and outright bribery, Yagyuu and Niou persuaded Yanagi into helping them, so Yanagi intercepts Sanada and compliments him on how good he looks without the hat, implying that it's a fine thing that Sanada has finally realized how much Yukimura likes him sans hat. Sanada is a little baffled by this, but since Yukimura seems to approve, is willing to go along with it.

And then, later, when he has a moment, Yukimura laughs and laughs and laughs, but not before he assigns Akaya, Niou, Marui, and Yagyuu all the laps in the world.
