Though Hattori can’t claim to be in love, he’s never trusted anyone like he trusts Ciran. Both have illegally altered genes that heighten sexual needs, making those needs a challenge for anyone else to satisfy. Theirs would be a match made in heaven, if only Hattori’s heart could stretch that extra inch toward Ciran.Katsu Shinobi isn’t your typical demon princess.
