kat8chaYukimura picks up a photo off of Yanagi's desk. The scientist's room is perfectly arranged, utterly pristine. Things are set in a manner that Yukimura assumes is referred to as 'just so'. "A place for everything." Yukimura breaks open the back of the picture frame and slips the photo out, a picture of a young Yanagi Renji and his equally young counterpart Inui Sadaharu, the two of them holding first prize at a science fair. Yukimura tucks it into his suit jacket. "And everything in its place."
Yukimura knows that Sanada is watching him curiously, but that the rest of the Rikkai members Yukimura had brought are not. His subordinates know better.
Sanada, of course, is more than a subordinate.
"Be thorough." Yukimura orders the black suited and black masked subordinates. "I doubt he brings his research home, but you never know." Yukimura and Sanada's faces are bare, although the brim of Sanada's wide baseball cap does shadow his face. Yukimura is sure that the cameras planted by Yanagi and Inui's superiors would be capturing every nuance of his face, were they not disabled earlier. Yukimura nods at Sanada, who follows him out of Yanagi's study while the men dressed all in black begin their careful deconstruction of the room. "And there's no need to put things back together."
Yukimura leaves the door to the apartment open behind him. Most good little scientists are heading off to work now, but there is a late shift of scientists only just coming home. Yanagi will be among them.
Sanada presses the button for the elevator and they wait for it together, side by side. Yukimura tips his head to the side and smiles, Sanada just sends him a blank look. Yukimura has spent years reading Sanada's looks however. "Oh come off it, it's not like he wouldn't know we were there anyway."
"He is a very intelligent man." Sanada says, the first words he has spoken since they entered Yanagi's apartment.
"He's anal, Sanada." Yukimura snaps. "And quite probably at least a little insane. Did you see that apartment, spotless."
Sanada sighs. Yukimura smirks. The elevator dings.
Sanada enters the elevator first, checking to make sure it is not some sort of elaborate trap set up by THEM. It's not, of course, and Yukimura enters after him. Sanada pushes the button for the first floor, and they stand side by side again as the elevator begins its slow descent. Muzak plays softly, just loud enough to be irritating for those unused to it, but soft enough that some tried and true elevator riders can ignore it. Yukimura is not a tried and true elevator rider, he shoots the speaker in the ceiling a dark look.
"Why did you take his picture?" Sanada asks when they reach the fourth floor. Yukimura shrugs, his elbows brushing against Sanada's arms.
"Sentimental reasons? I'm sure Yanagi would not want it destroyed by the boys. Or perhaps for emotional blackmail. I'm not sure, Sanada." Yukimura knows the look Sanada is giving him now. It's the 'you're lying' look. Yukimura is not, he is actually not sure what his reason for taking the picture was. Perhaps all of the above. "He was a scrawny child."
"He's a scientist." The signal for the first floor dings, and the elevator bounces before coming to a halt. The doors ding again and slide open, Sanada steps out first. "They are all scrawny."
"Touche." Yukimura smiles at Sanada, and falls in at his side.
