ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Megohime took a few sips, then looked to Masamune. So you said you were a blade for hire, have you always been one? |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He nodded, "Since I was a kid. Dad helped make me what I am and then tossed me out like trash." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Megohime looked down at her glass, tilting it back and forth. I m sorry, that sounds awful. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "Yeah, it was pretty shitty..." He took another drink with a wince, "But here I am...and he's dead, so...it's whatever.." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Well... Do you want to continue what you re doing? She asked, looking up at the ceiling. Why don t you just... leave it all behind? Her tone was gentle, genuine, like she was genuinely asking rather than teasing. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "I wanted to...but this is all I know. It was hard pretending to be normal.." He answered. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | You could always start over... You don t have to be perfect, just... Do what feels better than this. She muttered Megohime didn t know what she was saying, it sounded dumb, like anyone would take her seriously, she was just drunk. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "I like being here with you, boss.." He muttered, "It's as close to normal as I can get.." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | She felt her face flush hot, her heart fluttering in her chest. This job isn t exactly normal, is it what you want for the rest of your life? |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "However much longer I got.." He replied, "I'll take it.." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Megohime was silent again for a while, then downed her glass of whiskey. You don t have to have such sentiments for someone like me, if I m lucky, I ll live maybe a bit longer than the average tag before someone gets their bullet in my head. She said, staring at her empty glass. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He moved and loomed over her for a second, "I'm not gonna let that happen." He said before he leaned down and kissed her. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Megohime was taken by surprise, her eyes going wide she wasn t sure if it was the whiskey or something else, but her lips tingled. Without thinking, she kissed back, leaning up and closing her eyes. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He held her cheek gently and held the kiss for a moment longer before pulling back, "Sorry to be so out of line.." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Megohime shook her head, her heart beating hard in her chest. No.. No don t be sorry.. She whispered, leaning up to kiss him gently again. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He kissed back, a little more firmly, his other arm moving around the small of her back to pull her as close as he could. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Megohime dropped her glass, letting it land on the plush carpet with a heavy thunk. She brought her hand up, placing it against his cheek and returning his kiss with urgency. They way he pressed himself against her, the feeling of him pinning her to the desk, it made her body flush hot. She had been with men before, back when she was a rebellious teen, but this was different. She wasn t doing this because it angered her father, or purely because it felt good, it was because she loved him. Loved him? She barely knew anything about him, but yet, she felt so strongly for him, every time she saw him, she felt safe. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He held the kiss for as long as he possibly could before he pulled away slowly, "You taste like alcohol.." He said, but it wasn't judgmental or anything. Was he teasing? |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Megohime couldn t help the laugh that bubbles up from her chest. That s because I ve been drinking for the last hour.. She responded, tracing his jawline gently, then letting her hand fall to her side. What is... all of this.. surely I can t have been your only choice for women.. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He gave a shrug, "You know what you want and how to get it. You don't take shit but you aren't afraid to show you can be vulnerable." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | You make it sound like I m just some regular woman, and not the leader of a crime syndicate. She joked. I can almost imagine where we aren t both killers, and simply two people who re in love.. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "Maybe one day, yeah? We'll both high tail it..." He muttered, reaching to play with her fingers. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Megohime let him, enjoying the small affection with a soft smile on her face. I don t think this town will let me out of its clutches that easily... But if you think you can whisk me away like that, then sure.. She laced her fingers with his, squeezing his hand gently. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "Pretty sure I can make that happen, boss..." He said with a soft smirk, "No big deal.." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Megohime reached up with her free hand, taking his chin in her grasp and tilting his head down so she could kiss his forehead. I can t wait for that day.. Kojurou often found himself thinking of the woman who had nearly forced herself upon him, the desperation in her eyes, how even though she was in horrible condition, she still moved like she was hardly scratched. What had made her so desperate? What made her move, even after her body was in shambles? |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Kojurou lowered his gaze thoughtfully before he stood. He would make the journey out to go see her and get to understand her better, maybe even help with her care. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | The Guild still looked the same as last time, straining under the weight of how many refugees had shown up, many I ll or injured, only this time, more were covered by white sheets. It seemed so chaotic inside, but surely the more injured would be in the actual infirmary. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Kojurou frowned as he made his way to the infirmary, hoping the blonde woman was still there and not under a sheet. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | When he opened the door, the room was surprisingly quiet, only one person puttering around in the room. He recognized the person as Motochika s second in command, Ren, tending to a few unconscious patients. He looked up when he saw Kojurou, smiling and nodding his head. Katakura dono, what brings you here? He asked, setting down a clipboard. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "I wanted to check on one of the injured. A woman...blonde hair...I sent one of my medics over to help with her." He answered. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Oh! Yes, thank you, the help was very much appreciated! Ren nodded, moving over to a bed and grabbing a clipboard off the end of the bed. We don t know her name yet, but her head wound is healing nicely after receiving celebrer. He said, reading off of her chart. If you d like to speak with her, I can try and wake her? Do you know her? |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He blushed softly, "Ah, no...but she mistook me for someone she knew...I wanted to see if I could get more information...perhaps find where she came from and get her back.." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Ren looked from the chart to Kojurou, a sad smile on his face. Katakura dono.. I know it may be hard for someone such as yourself to understand, but she wasn t mistakenly forgotten... I m sure you already knew that... But for someone like her, the people who left her behind don t want her back.. He hung the clipboard back up. Mercenary tags like us aren t as prized as tags like you, you re just a higher grade. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He lowered his gaze slightly, "I had hoped she belong to someone wealthy, a bodyguard or something.." He muttered, "I suppose not all are as lucky as you or I..." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | I don t think she s that unlucky... She lived, and now she s free to make her own choices, isn t that as lucky as any Tag can be..? He offered another soft smile. If you d like to speak with her, I can step out for a bit..? |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He nodded, "I would appreciate it, Ren san, thank you.." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Ren bowed his head. It s no problem. He said before leaving Kojurou alone with the injured. Jin lay in bed, still wrapped head to toe, but her bandages no longer stained with blood. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Kojurou moved to her and bowed his head gently, "Ohayou gozaimasu..." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | The woman who looked to be asleep opened her eyes, as if she had simply been laying in bed waiting. She looked more lucid this time, but here eyes were still unfocused. Who are you..? She asked softly. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "Katakura Kojurou," he answered gently, "you, uh...you called me Gastou when we first met.." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | She stiffened a bit, eyes growing wide, quickly looking away from the blurry figure in front of her. I m sorry.. I don t remember meeting you, forgive me. She could tell by the voice the man in front of her was someone she hadn t met before. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "Ah, that's fine...that's most likely from your injuries." He told her, "I just want to be sure you're well.." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | She only frowned softly. They tell me I m fine, my wounds are healing as nicely as they can.. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He nodded, "That's good." He felt a little awkward, he didn't even know her name and here he was, talking to her rather casually. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | She couldn t see his face, but the awkward silence told her what she needed to know. Jin desu.. She said softly. Kawabe Jin. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "It's a pleasure to meet you offically, Jin dono." He said with a smile, even if she couldn't see it. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Checking on my wounds can t be the only thing you re here for... Is there any thing I can do for you..? She asked softly. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "I, uh...wanted to get to know you better..." He said, almost bashfully. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | A confused look crossed her face and she shook her head. I don t understand. She said. Why would you wish to know more about me..? |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "Well...because...if you wanted...I could ask Megohime dono to...hire you.." He said bashfully. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | She blinked in confusion, not knowing who this Megohime dono was, or why they would even want to hire her. I don t know what you think an injured tag can do in a fight.. She lowered her gaze she knew she had been left behind, that Gastou no longer had use for her, so what use was she to this man? Forgive me, but I am not a prostitute if that is what you re looking for. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "A Ah, no! Not at all! You're a Tag, and we need as many capable bodies as we can! You still have use, and we would like to have you on board!" He stammered, clearly embarrassed. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Jin felt a small frown tug at her face. Please let me consider your offer. She bowed her head slightly. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "O Of course! No rush! Please take your time to recover and consider things!" He said quickly. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Yukimura and Akihime had been going out on dates more and more, each time Yukimura finding himself even more lost than the first time he loved her, but what was he supposed to do? She was a prostitute and he was a gang leader, and now more than ever, he was busy trying to put his house back together after the murder of Shingen. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | They were supposed to go on another date today, Akihime did her best to try and take Yukimura's mind off the pain and stress. But, for some reason, she didn't show up. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Yukimura waited in their usual meet up spot for almost two hours, eventually getting a call from someone back at his estate and needing to head home. Had she forgotten they were supposed to meet up that day? |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | After getting what he needed done, he decided to go check on her in Bastard. Maybe she was just busy? Akihime was never the type to forget. Perhaps a client took longer than she thought and she didn't have the time to let him know? It wasn't uncommon, she did have some appointments that went over the allotted time sometimes. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | It was late when Yukimura showed up at Bastard, letting himself up after making sure Akihime wasn t with a client with the front desk. He noticed some of the girls seemed nervous, glancing at him as he ascended the stairs to Akihime s room were they afraid of the recent gang activities surrounding him? Akihime? Yukimura knocked on her door, listening to hear if she was inside. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He heard a gasp and some soft glass bottles clattering, "D Don't come in! I I'm very plain looking!" Plain looking? What kind of excuse was that? |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Yukimura frowned, brows furrowed. Akihime, is everything alright? You never showed up today. He said through the door what was she talking about plain looking? |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "A Ah, that's right...we...had a date..." She sounded off. Upset even, "Gomenasai..." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | I m coming in. Yukimura said, after having paused for a moment, turning the doorknob and pushing the door open. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "N No!!" When he came in, he was met with an awful sight. Akihime was covered in angry red and purple bruises on her upper arms and her sides. Her neck even had a dark bruise around it. She was in the middle of trying to hide them with make up when he came in, her cheeks stained with tears. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Yukimura s eyes slowly widened, and he was frozen in place for a moment before rushing to her side. Akihime, what happened?! Who did this to you..!? He asked, looking her over, shaking slightly. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "J...Just a client...he wouldn't listen to the safe word..." She muttered, "I I'm fine..." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | You aren t fine! Look at you! Yukimura seemed beyond upset. Who did this? Tell me what client did this to you..! He looked almost like he was going to.. cry? Why would he shed tears over her, did she really mean that much to him? |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | She shook her head, "I It's alright, really...I'm sorry I missed our date, I promise I'll make it up to you." She said gently. Why did he care so much? She was just a whore, nothing more than that. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Akihime, you don t have to make this up to me god, look at you..! He reaches out to touch her cheek, but stopped before he did, afraid it would hurt her. Please, tell me who did this..! |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "I I can't...he's important to the brothel..." She muttered, "I do have to make it up to you, silly...I ruined our date..." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Yukimura didn t understand, who was so important that Akihime couldn t tell him? Akihime, look at you.. He frowned. I don t care about the date.. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "I do..." She muttered, playing with a bottle of foundation, "They're the only time I get to spend with you..." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Then leave here. He said, brows furrowed. Come be apart of the Takeda family, I can take care of you, keep you safe there... But I can t do it here.. I can t protect you if you won t tell me who hurt you..! |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | She lowered her gaze. She wanted to, she really did. But she couldn't leave. "It isn't that easy, Yukimura..." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He clenched his fists, feeling beyond useless. Akihime.. Please, please let me help you, don t make me watch you suffer..! He begged. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "Yukimura, I'm just a whore!" She rose her voice, tears filling her eyes, "What do you care if I suffer or not?!" |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He looked sad, looking at her in silence for a moment before giving his answer. Because I love you. He said softly. Because I care for you.. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Chills ran down her arms and legs and she stared at him like she was in pain, "Don't lie to me like that..." She said weakly, voice barely above a whisper, "Don't toy with me like that, it's too cruel even for you..." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Yukimura was on his knees before she could even register what he was doing, pulling her closer as gently as he could, holding her to his chest. Please Akihime.. I ve never lied to you, why would I start now..? He asked softly, one hand on the back of her head, one arm around her shoulders. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Tears poured down her cheeks, "But I'm nobody..." She argued weakly, "I don't deserve even half your affection..." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | I don t see you as nobody, you re Akihime, you re so important to me, you re the world to me..! His voice cracked a bit, trying to keep his composure. You re important to me..! |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "You're such an idiot..." She muttered before laughing weakly, "A total, naive bafoon...!" She pet his cheek gently and sniffed, "You're important to me, too..." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He pulled away a bit to look at her. Please. He pleaded with her again. I don t know what I would do if I were to lose you as well, please leave Bastard and live with me.. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "It isn't that easy, Yukimura...I can't just leave, as much as I want to." She told him, "I'm trapped here.." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Yukimura felt frustration, did she not trust him? Why wouldn t she tell him anything? Akihime, I can t help you if you don t tell me..! |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "And he'll kill me if I do!" She argued, "God, look at you, so comfy and confident in your cushy fucking mansion, thinking you can have everything if you flex your family ties, but things don't work like that here! I can't just be swept away, Yukimura, I don't just work here, I'm fucking owned! God, get off me!" She shoved him back as firmly as she could, now equally as frustrated. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Yukimura let himself be shoved away, landing on his ass and letting her berate him, sitting in silence. What do you want, Akihime..? The question wasn t a jab, wasn t a rude retort, he sounded so broken when he asked it, almost like he was lost and looking to her for an answer on what to do. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "I want you to understand..." She answered weakly, "I want you to understand that even though I love you and want to be with you, to leave and never look back, I can't...that's why I cherish the moments we have together. Seeing you makes being here worth it.." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | I... can t... I can t just sit here and watch you suffer and give away every piece of yourself that you have.. Yukimura said, his face twisting into a sad grimace. I can t just watch helplessly as you grin and bear it and tell me it s ok..! |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "Not every piece..." She muttered, kneeling in front of him, "Geez, look at you...you're too gentle to be a gang leader.." She teased gently. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Yukimura reached out to take her hand. Some gang leader I am.. I can t even make the woman I love see how much she means to me.. He said with a sad smile. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | She squeezed his hand and shook her head, "Not true...I see it rather plainly. I just wish I could go with you and run a gang.." |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | The skies were overcast again, nearly three days in a row, and Megohime was waiting with Masamune once again, making a personal delivery to Motochika again. His mental health had declined since Nana s disappearance, and his demeanor had changed drastically. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | He was paranoid, short fused, and irate. Anything set him off, and in his fits he accidentally incapacitated some of his own men. Even Ren wasn't safe he was constantly screamed at when bringing Motochika bad news, but thankfully the Ogre Tag never laid a hand on him.When Motochika finally arrived, he was finishing off a smoke and starting up a new one. Damn, he must have been very stressed. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Megohime was a little irritated with his short temper, but tired to ignore it, simply wanting to complete her task. Exiting the car when Motochika arrived with his men, she motioned for her own men to load up Motochika s trucks, very much tired and on edge herself. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Motochika watched and counted, before his gaze landed on Megohime."You're short." He stated roughly. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Megohime looked over to him, a soft scowl on her face, arms crossed over her chest. I already told you, moving that big of a shipment is too dangerous. You ll get the rest tomorrow, I m not risking something that big. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | "You're trying to stiff me." Motochika growled and advanced on her, but Masamune got between them, scowling up at the large man. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | Megohime didn t flinch, not moving an inch. You ll receive your shipment, I m not so bad off that I need to take celebrer from some tags. |
ergastulum. (1x1 w/DarkMudkip) | That set Motochika off. He shoved Masamune aside and grabbed Megohime by the throat, nearly twisting her head off her shoulders. |
