054. Go see about selling some of them.

Making up my mind I decided I better do the frugal thing and get some more food and supplies before anything else. I took a quick jaunt down to old Mister Cho’s general store right across from the Honda dojo and walked in. His place was always packed with ancient junk, but it was also the only store left that might have a new plow head.

"Ah, Kenji," the fat man greeted me at his counter and tapped his fingertips together. "What can I do for you today?"

"I need a new head for my plow," I said calmly.

"Ah… broke the old one did you?" he sneered. "I might be able to sell you one, but how would you pay for such a precious commodity?"

"Precious?" I asked incredulously. "It’s just a lousy slab of iron!"

"That you need," he said in a crafty way. He had a point, but I was so pissed, I just walked out. I didn’t even wait to hear his offer, knowing it was going to be outrageous. I had some gold, but I wasn’t going to be cheated out by that jerk for it. I’ll find and buy one from someone else before I came back to this jerk.

"Broke your plow huh?" Hazuka startled me as she was behind me as I came out of Mister Cho’s shop.

"Oh, yeah," I said as I spun around on her. "I have a few coins, but that extortionist…" I growled unable to adequately figure out exactly which curse words I wanted to use for the miser.

"What if I told you I could get you that plow for whatever coins you have?" Hazuka offered with a devious grin.

She probably had no clue exactly how much I actually have, but her tone had me intrigued. I’d much rather pay Hazuka, but I didn’t want her getting in trouble on my account. "Fine," I said and pulled out one of my two gold coins and saw her eyes go wide.

"Deal!" she said and thought to herself before deciding on something. Then said in a stern tone she instructed, "Stay here, and don’t move." She really meant it and walked up past me, right into the store, and closed the door behind her. Even more strange was she locked it behind her and closed the window shade.

I couldn’t see in and wondered how she could possibly think she could purchase the plow when I still had all the gold. Frustrated at just standing there I was surprised when I heard, "Miss Daishi, how may I help you today?" I could just hear him call out through a small open window down the alley behind me where Hazuka was hiding.

I walked down closer and heard Hazuka reply, "Actually I’m here to take you up on your offer?"

Mister Cho then sounded really excited and quite surprised, "Really? Uh… which one?"

"The one where you give me something from your basic supplies for… touching it," Hazuka said suspiciously.

"Oh…" the old man sounded a little upset, but then cleared his throat, "Well I suppose as a first transaction that will do. Very well, come here and you may begin." Then there was no more speaking, but I could definitely still hear something. I couldn’t tell what was happening since the window was about ten feet in the air, but then I got an idea.

Looking around I decided upon a plan of taking a few empty boxes that are just lying around and stack them up, climbing precariously up the rickety construction. Atop of them, I was able to just see inside, yet it was still not well enough to see more than the ceiling. I figured my next athletic feat would be easy with my strength as I tried to pull my weight upon the narrow window sill, but I needed both hands to balance up high enough to finally look down inside.

The angle was bad looking down from above at Mister Cho’s back, with Hazuka standing in front of him. She was doing something, but I couldn’t figure out what it was at first. Was she touching his chest? Then he groaned and I got a sick feeling in my belly.

"You have such soft hands," Mister Cho sighed, only barely audible now. Was she doing what I was thinking? No, that was just crazy, but then my eyes sought out the clues. Mister Cho’s robe looked quite loose, so maybe it was open. Damn it I wish there was a better window to peep through. Maybe I should burst in?

"Yes, right like that," Mister Cho groaned, and then a moment later Hazuka gasped and jumped back.

"You asshole!" she cursed and wiped something off her cheek. "I told you to tell me…" Then she saw me and I dropped down, knowing it was too late.

"Sorry my dear," Mister Cho groaned, obviously winded from just jetting jerked off by a cute girl. "Here’s the plow head your boyfriend wanted."

"How did you know…" she asked, seemingly shocked to figure out what item she was after as her end of their deal.

"Just tell him I’ll make him a much better deal should he decide to give you to me again for more… extensive night service duties. Believe me, I promise you’ll enjoy them much more as well." His creepy offer to the girl who was younger than his grandchildren was cut off by a loud slap and the old man started cursing and screaming, so I ran around to the front, meeting Hazuka holding her perversely bartered sharp metal prow that she almost gored me with as she nearly ran into me leaving the building very quickly.

"How could you!" we both said at the same time, mutually angry with each other. Then instead of fighting she shoved the plow head into my arms and huffed away back towards her home. I was such a confused ball of emotions I didn’t know what to think. I was angry she had done such a personal thing for someone else, excited that she never denied me as her boyfriend, grateful that she would do something as gross as that for me without even being asked, guilty for having watched even some of it, and turned on like hell to top it all off. My cock was awake at full ****, so I just held the plow in front of it as I milled around town trying to clear my head.

Around the town fountain, Yuki was minding her vegetable stand as usual, and called out to me. "Kenji, come over here and try this!" I walked over, not having the nerve to refuse and looking forward to anything to take my mind off of Hazuka. "Open up," she said holding a shrimp and rice ball on a wedge of green pepper up to my mouth. I ate it and it was really, really good. Man, I hadn’t even realized how hungry I was until now.

"That’s great!" I said encouragingly reaching for another, but she pulled it back.

"Thanks!" she said happily. "Only two coppers each for more…" she said tempting me with the next one, and I was ready to buy all of them as I reached into my pocket for a gold coin.

"Hey…" I said confused when my hand found my pocket empty. Quickly I searched the other pocket, maybe thinking I’d moved them, but it was empty too. "Crap," I said thinking I’d lost them, and looked around the ground.

"Spent your last coin with Hazuka, didn’t you?" Yuki said a little disappointed. "I saw her leaving with a few, flipping them in the air before you came by." Hazuka I wondered… "Is that what you bought?" she said pointing at my new plow head. "Where’d she get that?"

Then I realized that was Hazuka’s plan the whole time. She stole them from me as she threw me off by jamming the plow into my hands. Why that sneaky little…

"Kenji!" I heard a faint call and could see My sister shouting down to me from the top of the hill. Crap. Now I was going to get it for leaving a mess back at home. She saw me so it was too late to worry about running off now. It was time to face the music.

"Thanks for the sample, Yuki. Looks like I got to go for now, but I really want to buy some more from you tomorrow. ‘Kay?"

"‘Kay" she said happily and returned to her minding her stand while I trudged up the hill to my sister’s awaiting upset at the top, watching to make sure I didn’t sneak off. Once I was close enough to her she just turned and walked home silently ahead of me and we finished silently all the way back to our tiny home.

She had clearly spent her day cleaning up the blood from the floor and also had the ancient Honda Katana lying out on our table. She had found it and apparently cleaned it off. She knew who it belonged too, and that something must have happened last night. I’m trying to figure out what to say, how to explain all the bizarre stuff that has happened to me, but she simply started cooking dinner and said, "You can return it after dinner, but for now you better put it away. We are having company."

"Company?" I asked as I sat down at the table, pacing the new plow head down and picking the beautiful blade up, boggled at who she would invite over.

"I love a man with a big sword. Can I touch it?" I heard Hazuka joke behind me as she came in. With what she did earlier I became flushed with embarrassment at her double entente and even a bit turned on. Did she mean she wanted to touch my ‘sword’? I gulped and tried to think, but she continued, "And you got a nice new plow?" As if she didn’t already know. "If I had a field I’d let you plow it," she grinned at me. She clearly was coming onto me, wasn’t she?

<She wants it,> I thought. <You should just take her now!>

"Yeah," I grinned happily getting rock hard in my pants. Wait, what? Those weren’t my thoughts! I clearly heard something in my head just then. What was going on?
