The Immortal Thief Roleplay

[Kevkas]

Juromaru swam inside his own head. He was lost in thoughts, long darkness that enveloped his memories and his heart. He could tell that there was something he forgot, but he didn't know...

Yue's voice reached out to him. He slowly reached out and grasped onto her and pulled himself to reality.

"Yue..." Juromaru sat up and pushed himself out of her arms.

"I'm sorry Yue... I must seem so weak compared to you." He stood and staggered.

"This is.... my blood...?"  

[Bizarre-love-triange]

Yue was confused and slightly hurt at first when he pushed her away, then simply looked at the ground and wiped her tears from her eyes quickly, she didn't want to look weak either, or like she was crying over him.

"I...I don't know Juromaru-san, I just found you here. Are you feeling okay?"

Chibi looked suspiciously at him, something was amiss here as well.
 

[Kevkas]

"I don't know what I feel. I think something happend inside myself..."

He looked down at the blood at his feet and shook his head.

"But this would testify against that..." Juromaru placed his hands on his head and rubbed his forehead.

"Yue... I don't feel anymore."  

[Bizarre-love-triange]

Yue looked up at him, now to worried about him to be concerned with her bruised pride. Something was very very wrong here, everything insdie of herself told her the same thing.

"Juromaru-san, what do you mean.... you don't feel anymore?"

Yue reached her hand out to touch him hesitantly, unsure if he would shrug her touch off again.  

[Kevkas]

"I destroyed myself." Juromaru turned and gently pushed her hand down and away from him. He shook his head again and tried to remember more.

"Yue, I battled myself, my feelings... and there was only one outcome..."  

[Bizarre-love-triange]

Yue in a moment of absolute dread felt a wave of heat wash over her, her embarrassment at trying to reach out at him, and her bruised pride absolutly inflamed, swollen and sore.

"I,...I see. What was that exactly,...."

Yue was hesitant to ask the question, because she felt that she knew the answer already. Her Juromaru wouldn't have pushed her away, swatted her away, left her there. Even in a state of anger or pride he would not have let her sit. But the question needed to be asked, to quiet her screaming demons, her own vices.  

[Mikujin]

(( I don't foresee problems with that. Now do something so I don't just have to stand there. ))  

[Kevkas]

"The only one that made possible sense... I..." his body wavered for a moment.

"Think you're rid of me? Sadly for you I'm not the one that was destroyed."

"Saku... I don't care for Saku." Juromaru wavered on the spot and then looked at Yue.

"Yue-hime..." He suddenly found himself drowning in memories of her.

"yue-hime?"  

[Bizarre-love-triange]

Yue had been staring at the ground, bracing herself for his next words, waiting for the poison so be let loose. For him to go to a woman who would never love him back- Saku had no interest in Juromaru-san past the simple flattery of being admired, if even that.

Then the words struck her, Yue Princess, Yue Princess? Could it be him, back? All of a sudden, Yue's eyes flashed back up to look at him. Was she dreaming? could it be possible?

"Juromaru-san,....." She said, trying to keep the hope out of her voice though she wasn't very successful.  

[Kevkas]

Juromaru shook his head and rubbed his eyes.

"Yue-hime..." He took another step towards her and faltered. The lose of blood was affecting his body. But he wasn't going to be this weak in front of her. He found his footing and slowly walked towads her.

"Yue, I beat my feelings, I solidified my heart. I'm..." he took a breath trying to stay conscious, "...all yours..."

He managed a weak smile before falling to his knees.  

[Bizarre-love-triange]

Yue could see how desperately weak he was, all the blood on the ground.... IT had to be his though he didn't appear to be actively bleeding.

"Juromaru-san.....I cant convey to you my feelings of relief right now,.... But you are hurt, all this blood. Come on, we need to get you inside"

Yue could heal him, but this wasn't a simple burn, she would have to first locate the problem, and out there in the early morning cold just wasn't the place for it. Helping support him up by bringing his arm over her shoulder she helped him walk with almost surprising strength for a woman of her size.

"Come on, were specifically going off to my mezzanine, where I have my healing materials and a soft bed for you to sleep in and gain some energy"  

[Kevkas]

Juromaru leaned on her as much a he dared. He was fighting fatigue, bloodloss, and guilt. He almost felt guilty being held by her, that he didn't really deserve the love she held. He walked with her not enough strength to argue or object. He foudn himself slipping in and out of consciousness.

He shook his head and stopped as Yue stopped at a door. His eyes blinked and fluttered as he still tried to keep information flowing in his mind.

"Where...are we?"  

[Bizarre-love-triange]

Yue opened the doors to her mezzanine and brought him over to her bed where she laid him down in the large mass of silk and damask sheets. Her mattress was stuffed with goose down and so were her abundant pillows and quilts. Yue had a thing for the soft comfort of down.

Yue then fetched a bowl of steaming herbal water in the kitchen. It took her five minutes or so, but it didn't appear that Juromaru was going anywhere in the condition he was in.

Returning to the room Yue grabbed some towels from a basket next to the large bath that she had brought up. It was the old fashioned type that required her to heat water and bring it up to fill the tub with. The porcelain was gorgeous and painted with her beloved night blooming jasmine flower. It was behind some blockade type silk screens she had found in the market one day and stolen on a whim. They had in the past proved quite useful and this was her own private bathroom. Some dried herbs were kept in carefully labeled glass jars, some also were hung from the ceiling all over the room to dry. Soaps and oils along with perfumes were scattered about on a pedastel type storage unit she had build out of the cherry wood from a tree outside.

Grabbing another pot she began a small fire in a pot of stone and earth that she kept just for this purpose, taking some water from another clay pot she heated some up, along with some dried herbs she began to pluck from the many jars.

After this occurred to her, she realized that he might be suffering from some wounds, and it might be best to quarterize them wile he was still in a daze and might not remember the pain. She grabbed her best dagger and lit a candle.

Eventually she was ready and came back to the bed, he looked so out of it, dazed and lost. It occurred to her that he had spoken earlier, he hadn't know where he was.....

"shh, Don't worry, I'll take care of you" Yue said quietly stroking his face for a brief moment before getting to work.

She was determined to locate any of the wounds on his body, to cleanse and quarterize them. He would rest, and then later she would feed him. IT might be a little startling to wake up naked in a womans bed and not really remember how you got there. She would have scared him the shock, but this was important and Yue wasn't exactly the type to get flustered when working.

An hour or so later she had completed the job. He didn't seem to be very conscience though he was diffidently struggling to stay awake. She felt bad about the fact that she may have hurt him, but other then that she felt no shame whatsoever. He would live, and with her help a little later the scars too would be erased from his skin.

She left quickly, hoping that nothing would happen in her absence.  

[Mikujin]

(( This is the time, in my mind, when I hear some sort of stereo-typical porno-style music playing.

Bow-chicka-wow-wow... ))  

[Kevkas]

Juromaru rolled to the side of the bed he was on and sat up. He used his elbows to lean on his knees. His chest heaved as his body worked in a near useless state. The stab wound on his chest and back was closed, ointment still fresh on his body.

"Where..."

Juromaru looked around and saw various things that didn't quite register in his mind. He was simming in blackness near dworning in it. The air wrapped around him and he could feel, at least, that his armor was removed. Silky cloth fall around his back and legs. As he tried to figure out what it was he almost felt Yue's touch and he fell back onto the matress. His head rolled to one side and he was consumed in the darkness.
