Concealment, misdirection, secrecy. These were all things ninja were known for.
That they'd also been intended as sexslaves was one thing. Oh, it had been equally successful. They had the cravings, the needs, the desires, the dreams. Each found themselves with an aching need to find a lord and master to serve.
