§«≈₹ Takai Tokugawa ₹≈»§ Takai nodded in apparent understanding, and he said, "I see. So, would you say that he's like a friend of the family?" That was one way that Glo and Profius could have become acquainted. Of course there were other ways, but that was the first thing that came to mind. Many of the friends that he had were friends or acquaintances of his family, or his father's minions.

He is a little more than that. He became my friend too. In fact, when I was still very young, I was convinced I'd marry him. She laughed, I grew out of that notion though we have remained good friends. Here we are. She paused in front of a stately brownstone and then quickly mounted the stairs and pawed at the door. It popped open. When she'd initially come to check on Profius, the door had been unlocked. She hadn't re-locked it but had put her own sealing safeguard so that the door wouldn't open for anyone but her. Pawing the door deactivated the safeguard. She sidestepped and looked back at her companions, He owns the entire unit here. I would have stayed if not for that awful smell....maybe I should have a maid service go through it. She mused aloud.
Goldie entered first, cautiously pushing the door open more. She immediately discovered what Glo had been referring too; the sickly sweet scent. Glo's nose wrinkled but she stepped forward anyway into a tiled entryway. The scent seemed to be stronger heading up the stairs so she followed her nose, her soft boots silent on the wooden stairs.

"That's the exact same smell that I found in Azazakar's place," Tamathia stated as she walked in, "Tell you what, Takai. You search for clues downstairs, and I'll check the bedroom." To her, the bedroom was always the most important room in the house. She then followed Goldie up the stairs, since that was probably where the bedroom was located.

§«≈₹ Takai Tokugawa ₹≈»§ "I'm in charge here, if you don't mind!" Takai bristled at Tamathia, Seeing that he really didn't have a choice, he then said, "Fine. You and Goldie can look upstairs, and Glo and I will look down here." Speaking to Glo, he added, "You know this place while I don't, and so I'm open to suggestions as to where we should begin to search."

Glo laughed when Takai snapped at Tamathia, Your age is showing. This way, Fearless Leader. She trotted off further into the house entering a tastefully decorated dining room complete with chandelier dangling over a sturdy dining room table, The kitchen and a few guestrooms are down here, along with a pretty spacious guest bathroom and a sitting room. She explained.
In the time it took for the others figure out who would be following her, she'd pulled out her Sig that had been hiding in the shoulder holster under her jacket. She'd slipped it on just before they'd left. She swept back and forth when she reached the top of the steps and then advanced, eyes and ears peeled. Trying to use her sense of smell in here was useless, the smell of those abominations permeated the upper floors.

§«≈₹ Takai Tokugawa ₹≈»§ Belatedly Takai realized that he was behaving a bit like his father would, and that wasn't necessarily what he wanted. Besides, no one needed him to start throwing orders around like he actually knew what he was doing. Takai was admiring the home as he and Glo explored the ground floor, and after a while he remarked, "Your friend seems to be pretty well off. What does he do to blend in with the inhabitants of this world?"

"You're packing heat? That's a good idea," Tamathia remarked when she saw Goldie's Sig, "I prefer close-in fighting myself, and I tend to create a distraction to throw my opponents off-balance. A complete lack of clothing on my part can be an effective way to take an attacker's mind off of the fight long enough for me to close the distance and strike."

"Yeah, the boobs get them every time." Goldie commented, sounding preoccupied. She'd been on a job and an enemy combatant had surprised her after she'd gotten out of the shower. Turned out a towel rack served as a handy bludgeoning instrument. So far the rooms they swept had been clear. All that seemed to be present was that cloying smell.Investing. He's quite good at it. A few other ventures too but mainly he plays the stock market. He says it's a little like a game.
The kitchen was a mess and there was a bit of blood splatter on the lower cabinet doors. Glo did not enter, instead she stayed in the doorway, her ears low, Said...he said it was like a game. She repeated, her voice in his mind very quiet."Aw, how cruel. Writing me off already, dear Glo." A masculine voice purred. Glo whipped around, Profius! Her tail fat, she stared at her friend wide-eyed. He looked...well, normal. Except, there was something wrong with his eyes, How did you get past my seal?!A wide, wide grin split his face; it looked alien, Profius rarely smiled that big, "Silly puss. I was the one who taught you seals in the first place."

§«≈₹ Takai Tokugawa ₹≈»§ Takai was just as surprised by Profius' presence in the home as Glo was, and going by her reaction, something was definitely amiss. "How do you do? My name's Takai, and I'm a new friend of Glo's," Takai announced to Profius. He had decided that it might be best if he kept quiet about his family name, at least for the time being. Thinking that he might be able to figure out what was going on by getting Profius to talk, Takai remarked conversationally, "It's quite a beautiful home that you have here."

Tamathia got the impression that Goldie was speaking from personal experience, and of course she had several fond (and bloody) memories of her own. After a while she said, "Well, it seems that there isn't anything up here for us to find. Perhaps we should go back downstairs to see if Takai and Glo have found any clues. You know, if it wasn't for this investigation thing, I'd be inclined to persuade Takai to help me give the bed there in the master bedroom a major stress test." Tamathia wasn't completely serious about that, but it was a rather entertaining idea to contemplate.

"Oh no, the pleasure is all mine!" Profius enthused, extending his hand as if to shake it. He only got one step forward before Glo was between the two of them. Her fur was standing on end, her back arched and she let out a vicious, roaring, hiss.
Profius paused and peered down at Glo, his smile slowly slipping away until it was if it never existed at all, "Dear one, that wasn't polite at all. We must set an example for our young ones." His tone was pleasant but there was no corresponding expression on his face.
Glo only growled and her mass seemed to increase, or perhaps it was just her fur?
"Did you hear that?" Goldie stopped, her head tilted ever so slightly.

Becoming serious for a change, Tamathia nodded and replied, "Yeah. It sounds like Glo has found something, or maybe someone, and she isn't happy about it. We should see what's going on." Having said that, she gestured towards the stairs and added, "You're the one with the gun, so why don't you lead the way?"

§«≈₹ Takai Tokugawa ₹≈»§ As could be expected, Takai was bristling a little because it was clear that Profius was calling him a 'young one', as if Takai was still a child. Even so, Takai didn't say anything about it because if he raised a fuss, he would be coming across as childish. Anyway, Glo's harsh reaction to Profius was telling him that the demon was no longer the friend that she knew, which meant that they could be in danger. At the same time, they could also be on the verge of discovering what had happened to all of the missing demons. Not knowing what else to do at the moment, Takai stepped forward to support Glo, and he was prepared to draw his sword from it's hiding place in the blink of an eye if he needed it.

Goldie started down the stars again, moving quietly but quickly just in case their comrades were in dire straights.
Profius' smile dimmed slightly and he dropped his hand. He tilted his head as if listening to something and the smile further faltered, "Ah, so the jig is up, is it? Glo, my lovey, please come with me or I will be forced to break him."
Glo's response was another hearty hiss, her mass increasing again, she took a step forward, her body tense, ready to spring.
The smile was gone, "So be it." He also took a step but in that instant Goldie burst into the room.
Goldie took less than a second to assess the situation before opening fire on Profius.
Profius jerked to a stop, letting the first bullet pass then ducked the second one and danced backwards gracefully to miss the third, spinning to avoid the fourth.
Realizing she was wasting bullets, Goldie snarled silently, flashing little fangs and stopped firing.

§«≈₹ Takai Tokugawa ₹≈»§ Following Goldie's cue, Takai drew his sword from it's hiding place and moved to his right so that he wouldn't be in Goldie's line of fire. He had a feeling that the bullets weren't mundane in nature. Profius didn't seem to be armed, but a demon never appeared to be unarmed and helpless unless he/she wanted a victim to think that. Conversely, a demon who seemed to go out of his/her way to put on a show of strength was probably not quite as dangerous as he/she wanted others to think. Intimidation was sometimes an important key to victory.
