The mental block was too great, obviously. LOL. Yes, Kouyo's old... but he's still hot in that sort of wrinkly, distinguished Sean Connery or Harrison Ford way. And rival pairings are just love. (Yes, of course if Sai were alive, and somehow Akiko weren't a factor.) But for kink, you don't exactly have to be logical anyway.

Oh, did I? Well, I'm happy you liked it. It was fun to write those two characters. Ogata's such a damn tease. He's lucky Isumi put up with him.
