ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Megohime protested a bit, but the old doctor shut her down quickly. Looks like a fever on top of a mild concussion. He grunted. Megohime avoided Masamune s gaze. You ll need to rest for now, I ll get you something to combat the fever.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Masamune was staring at her like he wanted to say "I told you so" but stayed quiet for a moment or two."No sleeping."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
I know.. Megohime grumbled, rolling onto her side, pulling the covers up to her nose.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She heard something scrape against the floor, and glancing over she saw Masamune had pulled up a chair beside her.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Megohime turned a bit so she could see him easier, brows furrowed in confusion. What are you doing..? She asked softly.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"Sitting." He replied simply, "Making sure you don't fall asleep."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
You don t have to... it isn t your job to babysit me when I m sick. Why? Why was he doing this again? Her chest ached, and she wasn t entirely sure if it was from the fever or not.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"I'm not. I'm making sure you stay awake. That ain't babysitting." He told her.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Megohime stared for a moment longer, then turned back over, back to him. When the doctor finally returned with the medicine, he did another check up on Megohime. Well, it doesn t seem like you have any adverse effects along with your concussion, so sleeping should be fine. Megohime took the medicine and gave a small nod, laying down again as the doctor left them alone.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"I'm gonna sit here anyway, if that's cool." Masamune said, looking up at the old man.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
The old doctor gave a grunt and a nod. Should be fine, as long as the missus allows so. He said, then turned to leave. You can stay. Megohime said softly, staring at the wall and feeling her hear beat heavily in her chest.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"Wasn't gonna leave anyway, regardless..." He mumbled, getting comfortable.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Thank you. She spoke so softly he almost didn t hear her, Megohime rolling over in bed to face him. Please don t leave me alone.. It was surprising, seeing her so vulnerable, tone almost shaky and her eyes showing unease.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He looked down at her before scooting the chair closer, "Sure...I'll stay put.."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Thank you. She said behind the blanket, closing her eyes to try and rest. It was strange how comfortable she seemed to be around him, half undressed and asking him to stay with her as she slept, didn t she worry at all what might happen? Was she suicidal or just that trusting?
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He made a noise as he watched her before looking out the window quietly.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
It was raining hard, coming down in sheets in fact, the cold rain barely doing anything to soothe her wounds. She lay slumped against the stone wall of a dark alley, sitting amongst the trash. Her body ached with a ferocity she had never known, but slowly her pain was ebbing away, and she knew she was dying. Blood dripped out of her mouth and nose, staining her torn shirt with even more blood she only started with blank eyes at the blood that soaked her clothes and stained the stones beneath her.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She could faintly hear people walking passed the alleyway, not knowing she was there or simply not caring. She was going to die alone, cold, and dirty in an alley. She barely noticed how much time had passed, or the fact that there was a boy now standing in front of her.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She moved her head slowly, barely able to look up at the boy who had stopped before her, was he going to finish her off? She didn t have the strength to run or fight, she d let him do as he pleased. She stared with dull red eyes through her soaked hair, the albino girl just waiting for him to do something she was alive, but just barely.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"What happened to you...?" He asked softly, expression almost pained, "Who hurt you like this...?" He moved closer to examine the wounds, looking like he was going to cry.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Wasn t he going to kick her? Punch her, pull her hair or kill her? Why did he look so sad? She didn t see any tags on him, so he had to be a normal, a sympathizer then? Nor...mals.. She barely got out, her jaw broken from being hit in the face with a metal pipe. Her own tag had been yanked off, tossed beside her in the trash: Rank D 0. How awful, beating such a weak young girl to such an extent.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He started to cry before moving to help her stand, pulling her arm over hos shoulder amd holding her around her waist."Just hang on, ok? Don't die!"
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She didn t understand, why was he doing this? Wasn t it obvious she was going to die soon? She was tired, body heavy and cold, be it from the rain or her looming death she couldn t be sure. Dying... soon.. She managed out, but rested her head against his shoulder he was so warm, it felt so nice.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"It's a bit of a walk, but don't you give up on me. You stay alive. I mean it." He growled as he dragged her along.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He could hear her ragged breathing, eyes barely remaining open as he dragged her down the road using back alley ways, every so often feeling her go completely limp momentarily before trying to limp along again.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He managed to get her back to the estate and snuck her up to his room, laying her down on one of his blankets on the floor before getting his first aid.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She was soaked to the bone, her ragged clothes plastered to her frail body, shirt threadbare, and her torn pants in no better condition. She had a broken arm, given away by the massive swelling, and several deep lacerations across her body. The most blood was coming from her mouth, indicating she was suffering internal wounds. The girl looked about his own age, her light red eyes still staring up at him, still holding some life behind thick white eyelashes.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He did all that he could, even going to the in home doctor's office to steal everything he remembered him using on the Twilights in Shingen's employ if they were messed up as badly.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She laid still for him as he worked, no matter what he did, sometimes struggling to keep her eyes open and herself awake. Sometimes he would catch her watching him, and he wasn t sure if she wasn t speaking because of her broken jaw, or because she didn t want to. He was a bit intimidating, looking somewhat similar to herself, his eyes intense, but she couldn t stop thinking of how he cried over her wounds.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He did everything he could for her, every medicle trick he remembered seeing the doctor do, he tried to imitate. He wasn't going to let her die. He couldn't explain it she was like him once, alone and scared and near death. Until Shingen found him and gave him a second chance. She would get that same opportunity.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Her broken arm could be set, but her jaw was a different story, that would need care from a real doctor. A few times he worried she had died from how still and quiet she had fallen, but she always opened her eyes for him when he called to her if anything she was resilient. Once he had done all he could for her medically, she was nearly covered head to toe in bandages.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"I'll try and get you seen by a real doctor." He told her, "But I don't want Takeda to discover you...not yet..."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Was Takeda not a good person? Why did she have to be hidden away? It didn t matter, this boy seemed nice enough, he had picked her out of the trash, so he must ve seen something valuable in her. She gave the slightest of nods, all she could really manage in her sorry state.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He did his best for her while he kept her hidden. He asked the doctor to help her jaw and pleaded for him to keep quiet about the girl to Shingen. The doctor thought it odd, but obeyed.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Mitsunari found the girl to be rather obedient, even as her health improved, little by little, she did as he said she stayed quiet, remained in his room, didn t complain. Even when he asked her to remain under the bed to keep hidden, she didn t complain. She ate whatever he brought her, always licking the dish clean when she finished no matter if it was simply some snack foods, or full meals. After the doctor operated on her jaw, she would be out of sorts on pain medications, sleeping often.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
At least she would live. That's all that mattered to him. Yukimura was too busy with his Twilight, Sasuke, to really pay Mitsunari any mind he was rather lonely. At least now he had a friend.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
It was strange, that the girl didn t seem to care much that for the majority of her day, she was hidden away out of sight, in fact, she only seemed to light up when Mitsunari returned to his room.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"Are you feeling better today...?" It was like he had snuck in a puppy and was sneaking it scraps. "I brought you more food.."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Her hair was a shaggy mess, falling just to her shoulders and almost completely covering her eyes she had a bit of a cough, but other than that, she was nearly completely healed up. Better, yeah.. She nodded, coughing behind her hand, sitting cross legged on the ground across from him.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He placed the remnants of his lunch in front of her onigiri with a pickled plum, seared fish, and tomato halves with broccoli. Mitsunari never really ate a lot anyway."I'm glad.."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She never minded, eating his left overs, in fact, she was glad he was thinking of her. She dug in right away, eating in silence, her jaw only aching a bit as a reminder that it had been broken.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He watched her quietly before becoming alarmed when his door opened."Mitsunari, why did you r " Shingen stopped when he saw Amaya and Mitsunari panicked."Don't send her away! She's a Tag! She was left to die, I had to help her!"
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Amaya stopped mid bite, her eyes wide with fear as she stared back at Shingen. Should she attack? Should she run away? She froze, fists clenched tightly.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"Where did she come from?" Shingen asked calmly. Mitsunari moved between Shingen and Amaya, as if blocking her from his sight would make her less visible."On my walk, during that rain storm. I found her dying in an alley! She reminded me of myself, when you took me in...I couldn't let her die!"
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
It was an old habit that died hard, she had taken one of the pairs of chopsticks Mitsunari had brought her with her food one time, having sharpened the metal utensils down to points for a weapon and stashed it under the bed. She slowly reached behind her for one of them, scared this man too would leave her for dead in the trash.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"And when did you plan on telling me?" Shingen asked. Mitsunari looked ashamed."When she was completely recovered. She's doing well now...!" Mitsunari looked back and saw her reaching for something. Shingen noticed too but didn't move to stop her.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She looked more scared than anything, freezing when they both looked to her. Please.. let me stay with him.. She requested, lowering her head in shame.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"I wasn't going to cast you out," Shingen told her gently, "I only wish Mitsunari had told me sooner."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He could see tears forming in her pale red eyes, nodding silently and bowing her head to him.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Mitsunari bowed as well."Thank you so much, Takeda sama!""Of course. She will start her training with Sasuke when she is cleared by the doctor." Shingen said.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
It didn t take the doctor long to clear her, and within the week she was meeting with Sasuke to train.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"Alright..." Sasuke sighed, "Let's get this over with.."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Amaya was a scrawny looking kid, with messy hair that mostly covered her eyes, needing to squint from the brightness of the light coming in from outside. Was he really supposed to train this kid? She didn t even have tags, her replacement ones on the way.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He sighed and made the first move, rushing at her and easily pushing her to the ground.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
It was about what he expected, she didn t look very tough let alone a fighter she just looked like a street rat. She pushed herself back up after hitting the ground though, trying to push her hair away from her eyes.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He moved and pushed her back down to the ground, "Come on, defend yourself."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Amaya hit the ground again and got back to her feet, this time putting her hands up in front of her to try and defend herself.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He moved and smacked her hands away and pushed her down again, "Keep trying."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She got up again, this time making the first move, tackling him with all the strength she had.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He was caught off guard and stumbled back, hitting the ground straight on his ass.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Amaya was brought back from thoughts of her childhood by the sound of Mitsunari and Shingen approaching, having waited outside for them, as they had to go into a building that didn t allow Twilights.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"Let's go, Amaya." Mitsunari said, nudging his head gently.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Amaya gave a small nod, moving to follow behind the two men silently, only her shoes making soft noises on the sidewalk.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Mitsunari glanced back at her, his expression hard, and he only gave a silent nod to her before looking ahead.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Amaya pulled the tactical knife from her hip silently, face stoic as she moved closer to Shingen silently. The older man felt like he was punched in the spine, a burning pain replacing it quickly as Amaya yanked the knife free, grabbing his gun from his waistband as she did so.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
The air was forced from his lungs when she drove the knife in, and he fell to his knees when she removed it. "Wh What...are you doing...?""Please...forgive us, Shingen sama...this isn't personal..." Mitsunari was crying, but he tried hard to keep his expression blank.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Amaya unloaded the gun and tossed it away, not saying anything as she moved up behind him, yanking his head back, and cutting his throat to the bone.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Mitsunari forced himself to watch, hos tears flowing faster. What would he tell Yukimura that would sound believable? What would Yukimura do?
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Amaya sadly felt little for the man whom allowed for her to remain in his home, showing her countless kindnesses she wasn t cruel though. Finishing Shingen off by evening the rest of his head, standing and turning to Mitsunari. Mitsunari.. We have to finish this. I ll finish up here, you return home.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He looked up at her, his tears unending, before nodding and running off.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Amaya put the head of the Takeda clan leader into a duffel bag, cleaning up her weapons and hiding the body amongst the trash before heading off to deliver the heady to Yukimura.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Mitsunari had to stop every so often, his crying making it hard for him to run, before he finally forced himself to stop. This was for Yukimura's own good, he told himself, he would bring the Takeda to glory.It started to thunder and pour outside, making Akihime frown as she glanced out the sheer curtains covering her window. How odd, she mused, sure there had been signs of rain but thunder? It felt like a bad omen to her.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Yukimura was the first to find the duffel bag with Shingens severed head inside, and immediately he had the entire estate locked down. He tried to keep himself collected, to keep his cool, but it was a struggle. Every house head had a target on their back, but for someone to get the best of Shingen? It was hard to imagine.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Where was Mitsunari and Amaya? They were with Shingen, were they hurt too? Were they ok?
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
This was a chaotic mess, who was Yukimura supposed to turn to at that moment?Akihime was having a slower day than usual, maybe the rain kept most people home, regardless, the time was going by painfully slow. She heard the door handle jiggle, as if someone was trying to turn it, no one knocking or announcing themselves.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She looked over and stood, moving to the door, "Hannah? Are you drunk again? I told you to take it easy.." She scolded gently as she took hold of the knob and opened the door.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
The door opened to someone much taller than Hannah it was Yukimura, he was soaked from the rain and smelled heavily of alcohol, and he had blood smeared across his button down. He looked completely broken, eyes red and heavy.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Her eyes widened, "Yukimura sama! What happened?! Are you ok?! C Come in, come in! You're soaked!" She pulled him in gently and shut the door before moving to grab a towel from her bathroom.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He just stood there numbly, watching the water drip from his hair and onto the floor, hearing Akihime s questions, but they hardly registered.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She put the towel over his head, rubbing out the water in his hair before trying to keep his suit from dripping. "This needs to come off...you'll catch your death..."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
His suit was heavy with water, but the most concerning was the blood on the front of his shirt, had he been wounded? There were no holes in the shirt to indicate that he was shot or stabbed, so what had happened? Yukimura was pale he even looked like he had seen a ghost, what had happened to him?
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
"Yukimura sama...?" She gently placed her hand on his cheek, "Talk to me...what happened...?"
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
They sent his head.. He managed out in a soft whisper, his gaze going right through her quite an eerie thousand yard stare. They killed him..
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She felt a cold chill go down her spine, "Wh...Who...? Who was killed...?"
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Shingen.. Takeda Shingen... He said softly, hanging his head. He felt so numb, he couldn t even cry, nothing would come.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
The Tiger was killed? How? By who? Who would even want him dead? She was so confused, all she could do was hold Yukimura close, not caring if his wet clothes soaked her own.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Yukimura wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. He was freezing cold, but he wasn t even shaking.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She gave a soft gasp at the coldness and reached to grasp his shoulders, "We need to get your suit off, Yukimura sama, you'll get sick..."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He nodded, letting her pull off his suit coat Akihime felt two cold hands on her cheeks, her head being tilted up before Yukimura pressed his lips to hers.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She blinked and slowly closed her eyes as she kissed back, letting his suit coat fall to the floor with a wet thud, gripping the back of his short gently.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Her carefully walked her backwards toward the bed, stumbling a bit as his legs touched the bed, and he helped Akihime lay back on the bed as gently as he could.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She gasped softly and blushed faintly, looking up at him, "Yukimura...?"
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Yukimura was obviously drunk, but he wasn t black out drunk. Do you want me to stop..? He asked, staying over her, looking down at her with sad brown eyes.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She moved and held his hand, lacing their fingers together, "No...I want to help you forget...my heart can't stand seeing you so sad.."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
He gave her hand a squeeze, his skin rough and calloused he leaned down and kissed her again, moving one hand to his belt to undo his pants, feeling his need aching already.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She moaned and kissed back, her free hand reaching to push off her ruffled lace panties. She was rather excited from the kissing alone, never really having been shown such tenderness before. Needless to say, it got her going faster than pretending ever did.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
Yukimura moves a bit slow, and Akihime couldn t tell if it was because he was drunk and inexperienced, or just what he liked. He unbuckled his belt and worked on lowering his pants and underwear, his kiss becoming deeper. She could feel his need pressing against her inner thigh, hot and growing hard.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She moaned again, reaching to push off the last of his wet clothes and then tossing off her damp lace top. She laid bare beneath him, and fought hard to not cover herself out of instinct she worked way too much. "As I said when we first met...it wasn't a lie, you can be as rough as you want, I can take it.."
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
His cheeks were flushed at the sight of her body, she was beautiful. I don t want to hurt you.. He said softly, moving to kiss along her collar bone, slow and gentle kisses, running his hands down her sides to her hips.
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)
She gave a soft sigh of delight, "I don't mind so much... " She moaned softly, "But thank you... "
