The former monk had remained relatively silent for large portions of the remaining travels toward their safe house - allowing his mind to quietly contemplate the rather messy turn of events which took place during the past couple of hours. Still, Kyou wasn't oblivious to what was happening where it related to his longtime companion and their current travel partner. The way Sayuri got in her digs after the man's mistake in taking the job which got them screwed over. Not to mention the reluctance which was shown about taking Hoishi with them. Not that Kyou could blame her for not trusting his own judgment calls so shortly after what happened. Besides, as the male took in another look at their lovely new companion, there was no denying that Kyou wasn't at least a little satisfied at having such a tempting beauty at their side to make up for the loss of coin to fill their pockets.<br/><br/>At Hoishi's comment about not doubting it to be beyond the other general and the advisors character to set them up, Kyou almost reluctantly admitted, "Yes, well... I'd imagine Sayuri here wouldn't have had any problems with your traveling alongside us if you were able to be there to back up her doubts on taking the job." The comment was a light dig back at his half-demonic companion, given her own reluctance at bringing Hoishi with them to their safe house. However, shortly afterward the male did add with greater sincerity, "Still. It's good to know there's somebody with a touch of credibility to their name whom seems to believe in our innocence." The problem was getting around the trust barrier. Despite his openness to her beautiful presence, Kyou wasn't entirely ready to trust his future to this woman. And then there was Sayuri. Well, that was an obstacle for them to deal with after they were in the safety of their nearby home - as the unlikely trio made their way into the dangerous forest.<br/><br/>It was almost a shame to Kyou that their travels throughout the forest surrounding their hideout had been an uneventful one. The former monk could have used some excuse to let out a bit of his frustration on a foolish creature which felt the nerve to attack either of them or, perhaps more likely, their 'guest' for the evening. "Even if they did try anything, there's nothing nearby which Sayuri and I couldn't handle." He assured Hoishi along the way, until their travels finally brought them to seeing the seemingly unimposing home which was their own.<br/><br/>As they followed Sayuri's lead in dismounting their rides, Kyou actually showed a hint of frustration following his companions 'joking' comment on allowing the other female along simply due to her beauty. "And if I didn't know better, I'd believe you were a touch jealous." He remarked with the hint of a smirk, before speaking with a touch more seriousness, "Besides, you know I wouldn't bring someone out to our safe house only due to their beauty. There's a lot more to it than that." Still, his words hadn't outright denied the attraction in itself, as their attention soon after had shifted back toward the third person in question.<br/><br/>Pulling back the hood of his cloak and letting it the clothing open enough for the cool air to brush along his flesh, the former monk watched with curious eyes as his companion laid out her feelings toward their 'guest' of the evening. Kyou couldn't help but smirk briefly at Sayuri's rather blunt manner of dealing with any concerns which may weigh heavily on her head. She was certainly one to let him know how she saw it when it came to their own problems, and the male was curious on seeing how Hoishi may deal with the half-demons words. The exchanges were rather to the point, with Kyou watching the female with a silent intensity as she seemed slightly awkward while facing himself. It seemed that Sayuri's words on his not so hidden attraction toward her had made their effect, as the male did grant her a brief insurance, "Information is certainly something we would need an abundance of. Assuming my companion and I are satisfied of its authenticity, of course."<br/><br/>Watching now as the woman took a few steps backwards to kneel and subjugated herself to the pair in hopes of earning their trust, Kyou immediately raised an eyebrow at the sudden development. Not at the act itself, but at the first hand knowledge of how making such a plea to a half-demoness like Sayuri could prove rather... interesting. "I think she knows not what she offers, Sayuri." The man mused calmly, with his words seemingly focused as much (if not more) toward Hoishi then they were toward his half-demoness partner. Sure enough, it wasn't long until Sayuri came to an idea - one which Kyou himself could only guess at for now, as he observed the following moments.<br/><br/>When Sayuri moved toward him, Kyou felt a rare little chill at the way the half-demoness would circle herself around her partner before placing her fingers over his skin and clothes. It was enough to draw out a light tightening of his muscles. A brief, easily missed catching of his breath. Something which only she could draw out of the male, as he gave her a curious stare while she spoke and moved to slip around him. Again, his abdominal area tightened at the touch of her hands as she wrapped her arms around his mid-section from behind - tilting his head just enough to glance back at her while she rested her chin upon his shoulder.<br/><br/>"I know how your punishments can play out, Sayuri. Although..." A short pause, followed by a glance toward Hoishi as he slowly admitted, "Considering our company.... I'm reluctantly curious on what you may have in mind." The feel of her warm lips on the side of his neck had caused his eyes to partially close - soaking in the soft feel of those lips along his flesh before the warm embrace of her had slipped away entirely. The disappointment from Kyou on this absence was only partially visible on the male's features, as he watched the demonic female begin to lead the way inside.<br/><br/>The muscular male would gesture for Hoishi to go in before himself, before following directly after the now former General as they made their way inside. Once inside, Kyou would again grow largely silent while watching with curious eyes on what Sayuri would do next. His one bit of advice at first was a simple "I'd heed her advice on that one" remark about not touching the tall cupboard in question. The male allowed his eyes to linger on the cupboard for a tad, before returning it to the half-demoness as she played her card in taking care of both his 'punishment' and securing a sense of trust in Hoishi's word.<br/><br/>For his part, Kyou didn't seem entirely surprised at what came next, as his partner started to untie her belt and began stripping herself down. As such - while the former monk couldn't completely tear his eyes away from the half-demoness - his attention did tend to shift toward observing how Hoishi may react toward the rather bold move and offer of Sayuri's. Still, while Kyou may not have been surprised at his partners bold move, it didn't mean the male wasn't about to utter a word of protest on this course of action. It was a move which was cut short, as Sayuri once more mentioned his owing her this due to the mess he'd gotten them into. More so, she spoke of how he was wanting this. A statement which - even while the male attempted to maintain a cool composure on the outside - wasn't exactly a hidden fact as the former monk seemed to split his attention between the two women while considering the possibilities.<br/><br/>As Sayuri finished stripping, Kyou allowed himself a moment to soak in her seemingly unnatural beauty, as she spoke of them both following her lead in undressing. Giving a glance toward Hoishi, the male offered simply, "Believe me, this is important in forming a bond of trust with Sayuri. It may not seem like so at first, but you'll come to appreciate it as we go further along in this alliance. Assuming you decide to participate, of course." With that, the male began to undo and remove the rest of his cloak before placing it aside for now. His upper body was largely exposed as a result, save for the gloves, a few weapons and other items which were strapped to him and were similarly removed afterward. His upper body was fit. Lean, with numerous markings in the form of both tattoos (largely related to his former order) and the faint markings of battle which could be seen as he undid and stepped out of his boots.<br/><br/>If there was any doubt of the man's own interest in what may come next, it would soon be put to rest as Kyou next undid his lower garments and allowed them to fall to the floor - allowing for the already hardening length of his rather impressive arousal to stand proudly after being released from the rather baggy clothing which had hidden it previously. Observing Hoishi's reaction during much of this, along with watching for if she would follow in their example, Kyou then slowly returned his full attention toward Sayuri as he noted with a half-smirk, "I realize with your metabolism that I may be feeling differently afterward... but I'm rather looking forward to this after your teasing me back at the courtyard."<br/><br/>With this, the male stepped out of the garments which had bunched around his ankles, before slipping closing the gap between half-demoness and former monk. Allowing for his own arousal to guide the flow of things for now, Kyou reached out to wrap his arms around the female waist- holding her closely as his throbbing cock began to brush along her inner thighs as he lower his head to kiss along her neck. The male knew that as part of his punishment, Sayuri could, and likely would, retake control of the flow of things whenever she so desired. For now, however, her partner was intent on pleasing and exploring the beautiful female's body as he kissed and licked a trail down her shoulder, inching lower toward her chest, as the corner of his eye glanced over to catch sight of whatever Hoishi might be doing.<br/><br/>Splitting his attention for now between the two women, not wanting to completely ignore the presence of either, Kyou would continue to give intense stares at the other female even as his lips came to trail along the peaks of Sayuri's breasts. With one hand remaining around the half-demoness' waist to hold her close, the other moved to cup and knead at the left breast as his mouth went to work on the right - teasingly suckling at the tip, bathing it with his tongue, as he drew out the erect bud of flesh that was her nipple in order to pay it further attentions. And, yet, during all of this, his attention wouldn't completely left away from observing how the other woman in the room was reacting toward the rather lewd display put on by the two people whom she'd fallen into league with.
