Exiting the room with her beloved she began her stroll with him. She always felt so centered with him at her side. In her mind she pictured the blood covered human she left in that room. She hadn’t reacted like that in years. Perhaps her darker charms were not forgotten after all. The look on her lover’s face said it all…<br/><br/>He had enjoyed it. He liked watching her punish those unworthy of his time. He was after all an Oni Lord.<br/><br/>Having brought him pleasure made her hold her head a bit higher. She had a reputation to protect now and she wasn’t about to let that go.<br/><br/>As they made it out of the onsen, Mishiko looked at the two girls who seemed happy to see her. On instinct her eyes narrowed. Simply because she knew they worked … or rather… had worked under Natsu. She didn’t quite know where their loyalties were. She assumed by the lack of fear and wistful smiles that they were more than pleased with her handy work of the former human tyrant.<br/><br/>If they found her more appealing than Natsu than that was something she could work with. His home had potential but it was in desperate need of a woman’s touch. It had been ruled by a lonely Lord for far too long.<br/><br/>Chikage’s order for Natsu to clean herself up made her smirk. She could still smell the blood. Listening to her lover she easily responded. “And it shouldn’t have to be your job. You are right about many things. I already planned on having a meeting with the girls. I am the woman of this house now and I like things run a certain way.”<br/><br/>Looking up at him with his eyes closed Mishiko could see peace line his features… Mishiko would do everything in her power to keep that peace if she could. He looked so handsome that way...<br/><br/>“Do I mind? What kind of Mate would I be if I couldn’t handle such a simple task?” Who did he think he sank his fangs into? Did he really think she would just sit back while he did the work? Since when did she ever just sit back and let him do anything? “You requested me at your side. There I shall stay and thus half this life we create is mine to manage. I do not take my responsibilities lightly. However I do have two requests of you...” It wasn’t her goal to take over his Mansion in one night… there were still some things she would leave in his care.<br/><br/>She had never asked favors of him and she hoped that it wasn’t too much to ask.<br/><br/>“As your Lady, I’m sure you would like me to look the part? I could use a new hilt for my blade and I’m sure you don’t want me in the same kimonos as the rest of the girls. I didn’t get a lot of time to acclimate myself here and it is time I called this home.”<br/>She paused to see his reaction.<br/><br/>“That or I can just roam nude… I am sure my hair is long enough to cover the essentials.” She teased with a smile.<br/><br/>It was sad but true. Mishiko owned nothing here… she was quite unfamiliar to this place. She had spent so little time here either injured or fighting. She never got a chance to settle in. She wasn’t even sure if she would be sleeping with him… or if other arrangements would be made. It seemed silly to ponder such things but she really did not know the answers to the questions she had.
