Fantasy RP A House Full of Desires

"and talk? I want to know more about you, If you truly want me as yours then stay, if not you can leave and never have to see me again" She knocked on the door and Hitomi opened it "Yes, Lady Omori?" Umeko pulled the teenager in for a hug which made Hitomi immediately get flustered "Umeko! There's a guest! The old lady will get mad..." After a small resistance she gave up and decided to return the hug. Once Umeko let go she spoke "Can you get us some water so we can sober up and some fresh clothes?" Hitomi nodded then shut the door. Umeko just sat by the other end of the door. "...The Samurai knew. That's why he said "I'm the only one that truly loves you" I was being careless one night after a bad shift and I was eating a robber. He saw me and when he came in he recognized my kimono. He asked to see my true form and wasn't repulsed by it. He actually thought that it was beautiful. After a while though he didn't like my human face. All he wanted to see was the monster that I am. One night while we were having sex, he told me he wanted me to join him in the military" She hugged her knees, digging her nails in her skin out of anger. "He called me his beautiful weapon of destruction and that my purpose is to lay waste to japan's enemies and to please him. He tried to tell me that Hitomi and The House were holding me back from my true potential. Before I could do anything Hitomi opened the door and told him his time was up. He left and I refused to see him for months. That night, Hitomi asked me if I was going to leave her. I promised her that if i ever were to leave, i'd take her with me."

Toru listened to her tale, the samurai's desire, and intentions. "He saw you as a tool." He said as they waited for Hitomi to return. "But he accepted you as a Yokai." He said as the girl returned with water for them to drink. He took a jug into his hands to pour. "It sounds that he will return again and again."

 

[starziessol!]

She nodded as Hitomi placed the clothes inside of the room after Toru took the water then shut the door behind them. Umeko grabbed the yukata and put it on then made her way back to the bed and laid down on her back.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"What are you seeking to know from me?" He said as he reached to full his cup, his buzz seriously was dulled away by the numbing fear that was trickling out if him blood. But it would help.

 

[starziessol!]

"Why haven't you killed me yet?" She sat and looked at him, there was a hint of fear in the air, It may have been Toru's but Umeko might've been feeling it too

 

[Knight_of_None]

"I haven't decided if I must." He said simply. "If Yokai are able to choose as you claim, I will treat you like I treat humans." He said pouring another cup of water. "I will not threaten you, if you do not threaten me."

 

[starziessol!]

"So, what does this mean for us?" Although her face didn't show it, the tension in the room could be cut with a knife

 

[Knight_of_None]

Toru picked up his Yukata, wrapping himself in it, beginning to dress. "You first ask if I seek to kill you, now you wish to know if I love you?" He said as he stood higher. He thought a moment. "I believed you to be one thing, and you are another. Would you have told me."

 

[starziessol!]

"I would have told you even if it meant you were going to kill me out of fear or justice"

 

[Knight_of_None]

"You only told me after we had sex." He said simply. "You could have hid it as long as you wanted." He added, his dressing was slow, still thinking. "I don't know if I'm certain where this leaves us, in the way you mean it. I think...I would have to see you again to ever be certain."

 

[starziessol!]

She nodded and laid back down, letting the silence and tension fester

 

[Knight_of_None]

As sge settled herself in the silence, Toru turned away from her. "Ofcourse, I don't know if I could afford to see you again, gold is not something I can just Pluck from the air."

 

[starziessol!]

She said "I'll vouch for you. Every year, the highest ranking courtesan in the house gets to pick one person, that person doesn't have to pay for an entire year. Since our house is ranked 3rd in the pleasure district money isn't really something the old bat isn't worried about"

 

[Knight_of_None]

Toru's fingers touched the door, pausing as she informed him that she would try to get him to her for free as a favored guest. He looked at her from over his shoulder. "You must really enjoy my presence." He said, a small teased as he opened the door to take his leave.

 

[starziessol!]

Umeko let him leave, feeling her cheeks heat up "That idiot." she mumbled. Hitomi bowed towards Toru "we hope you enjoyed your stay, please come again"

 

[Knight_of_None]

Toru looked at Hitomi as she bowed to him, his eyes flicking around the hall. "Can I speak with you?" He said

 

[starziessol!]

Hitomi nodded and led Toru down the hall and onto a balcony, shutting the door behind them “We can speak freely here, none of the other girls or attendants use the deck. What is it you wish to discuss?”

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Tell me about your Lady." He said crossing his arms, "what do you think of her "

 

[starziessol!]

“She saved my life. Took care of me. Fed me and always buys me new stuff. She’s like the mother I never had” Hitomi said with a small smile. “Ever since she took me in, I’ve had a better outlook on life and yokai.”

 

[Knight_of_None]

"That's what she's done...how do you think she truly is. Mm. Do you think she's truly enjoying her life?' He said

 

[starziessol!]

“Sometimes. She doesn’t let anyone touch her inappropriately. You and the stalker guy were the only ones who had ever done that. Honestly this is the happiest I’ve seen Umeko in a while. She’s always been so worried about me, I’m glad she’s finally worrying about herself” Hitomi leaned against the railing

 

[Knight_of_None]

Toru gave a faint nod of his head at her assurance. "I see...prehaps I will come back some time to see if she stays that way." He said

 

[starziessol!]

“Of course, but if you ever look at her like that again” she gave him a death glare “I’ll kill you.”

 

[Knight_of_None]

"I'll take that to memory then." He said with a slight twitch of a smile. Her threat not a concern, but he's was no stranger to them. "So you don't have to come for me."

 

[starziessol!]

Hitomi’s glare faded but there was a bit of hostility that lingered “I’ll be the judge of that, is there anything else you would like to ask?”

 

[Knight_of_None]

"No, I think I've had enough for the night." He said simply. "I'll see when I can return, perhaps in a weeks time."

 

[starziessol!]

Hitomi nodded then walked back in, returning to her post. She didn’t want to be too trusting, since she doesn’t know Toru well. For all she knows, Toru is just a one night stand.

 

[Knight_of_None]

A week would come to pass, Umeko's courier returning to her brothel to report that he had delivered the Seal that would show Toru as hurler favored companion. He had left it in the care of the man's family as he hadn't been in the home during the day. Toru was a woodsman it seemed officially, his heroics however were not set to only one incident. Rumors that he had on more than one occasion set his life or his time aside to aud another swirled around him. In the wake of the night, however Toru would open the doors to her chambers.

 

[starziessol!]

Umeko was vocalizing while holding a baby, gently rocking him back and forth. She looked happy and content as she sang to the child. The baby cooed and held onto her finger.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Hm. I didn't know you were pregnant that quickly." He said as he slid the doors shut slowly, walking towards her.
