To bad his mind was in a position to argue.

Point: But Tenpou hasn't been fucking anybody else. You like that idea, don't you?

Counterpoint: ...

Point: And you haven't been fucking any woman ever since you started fucking *him* isn't that right?

Counterpoint: ...

Point: There's a word for that, you know.

"Taishou." Tenpou's eyes suddenly seemed to take on an apologetic look. "Consider this your punishment."

"What!?"

But before he could even look up to meet Tenpou's eyes, something sharp met his arm and he winced in pain. Then from that point, everything started to go numb, spreading from his arm and down into his legs until he collapsed into Tenpou's embrace.

"This is for your own sake, Taishou, because I know you value the lives of your men. So this time, again, the responsibility is out of your hands and back into mine. I'm not even asking you to trust me, just allow me to free your conscience this time around."

And the obvious answer: "Fuck you."

"I need you to cooperate with me." Hakkai continued, putting the fired tranquilizer gun back on the desk and easing the general onto the floor. "Taishou, you are in no position for dishonesty. And so I ask for a single answer to a single question and then I can leave you in peace to insult me at will whenever you awake, if that is what you find pleasure in doing." he paused. "In any case, that is just a disclaimer because I mixed truth syrum into the dart. You will be truthful whether you want to be or not."

"Manipulative bastard." His head was suddenly growing fuzzy, that sense of foreboding churning his gut making him wish that the unconsciousness would come just a bit faster.
