She was. That night, right after I got home he rang the bell. As soon as Iopened the door he handed me some flowers, holding a bottle of wine in hisot...er hand."I can't get you out of my mind Jennifer. All I think about is you and theway your lips felt against mine the other night."I let him in and quickly closed the door. I was hardly a ravaging beautyright then, but he did not seem to care."Let me shower Jeff. I'll be right back." I stripped and showered, shavedclosely, and did a bit of. The hair began to lap at his chin."What...?" he asked.Rapunzel's face appeared above him."Relax, Johann, and enjoy your surrender," she breathed.Johann might have replied if the tresses hadn't swamped his mouth gagging him silent. They wrapped over his face and around his head, leaving his nose free. He panted through his nose as they tightened around his chest. Faintly he heard the crone's voice."Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair."Johann's hope of release from his bonds vanished as. A good sign. The best indicator was the thickening of Mom's voice right after a sudden intake of breath when I dealt the last picture.

Their master had kept the best near him leaving the rest outside. Touken watched as the ninja used their climbing claws, which were metal hooks or spikes designed to give greater traction as they scaled the wall. They were making good progress and reached the window next to the one where the daimyo was residing in no time. Using a special tool the ninja opened the window and climbed in, his companion followed close behind but forgot to actually close the window. Touken sucked in a breath in.
