 Hachiemon began to walk beside Tasha and would occasionally glance at her. His eyes then locked onto the heavily guarded cart but thought nothing of it. "Perhaps." said the demon as he ignored the cart and kept walking. A while later they came onto the edge of a business city in which Tasha said she would need a change of clothes. The demon quickly looked around and sighed. "No clothing store in sight...atleast not yet." He noticed that she had wobbled a few times before and asked "Are you okay? You look a bit tired...," a light blush crossed his face ", want me to carry you?" with that he fell into the bad habit and said "I feel as though I should give my wife some assistance."

She then allows him to pick her up, already feeling relieved that the pressure stopped. She then sighs: "I just get the feeling with my clothes, it will drag attention but maybe the foreigner card can work." She then starts hearing something from the corner of her eye. It sounds like two people talking about something...which aroused her suspicion.
"The emperor is already going to the village to find another girl."
"Must he take so many...there will be no more daughters to take."
"I heard from the people that he might be a demon in disguise, who sucks women's souls from their bodies. And disposes of them when their done."
"I cannot imagine! I can see it make sense! Those girls who go in never return."
Blinking, Tasha looked up at Hachie: "Great, this demon is like you except he has no mercy unlike you." She does not realize HOWEVER that the people were far away for no human ear to reach....which can make someone curious as to how she heard it. ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯

Hachiemon had heard the same conversation before hearing her remark. "I see...well apparently this guy takes more than one wife. I'm satisfied with my one." he looked at Tasha over his shoulder and gave her a small smile before walking further into camp. "I guess we could follow this emperor and see if the rumors are true." He didn't really care about the distance since his hearing was better than a humans. Hachiemon then began to walk into town, his eyes wandering over shop names and then the products. "If you want new clothes and a bit of relaxation at the spa then I guess we can use today to rest before looking for the emperor...or do you want to wait?" he asked as he carried his wife on his back.

She nodded, kind of liking the idea of getting a bath and maybe some new clothes. "And I will see if they can patch up the jacket you uhh...kind of torn." She remembered the jacket around her waist, remembering that it had a rib on the back which gave her an idea to just thread a Japanese cloth over the back to give it a design. The jacket is just plain; only black...I just need black cloth underneath. She then points to one of the shops. "Maybe that place?" She points over Hachie's shoulders to see a bath-house which seemed to be up and going. She just hoped they are not busy. "That looks like a good Sento." She muttered as she can see that the bathhouse was pretty close to what was a river coming from a lake nearby. Good sign they use natural water.
At least your satisfied with this one, otherwise this one will kick your sorry a**. She thought in response to Hachie's comment about the emperor. "I know she said we have to go through the mountain pass but I might as well learn a bit more about this era." She yawns, gripping on her scythe tightly making sure it doesn't hit anyone including Hachie. The scythe can also cause unnecessary staring.... That phrase soon hit her. 'Maybe later I get something that can hold the scythe on my back...instead of carrying it all the time." She then can guess the bathhouse separates the sexes to different area...giving her some relief as she needed some time to herself....unless Hachie finds a way to get in the female section. Greeeeaaaaaat...... ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯

Hachiemon glanced at her over his shoulder and nodded. "...Right. We can always do that afterwards." with that he walked towards the bar, sliding it open with his foot before walking inside. A man behind the counter looked at the two as they walked in and smiled. "Hello. How may I help you?" he asked as he looked at the two. The merchants eyes then darted to Hachie's ears, causing him to freeze. He then slowly looked at the girl on his back and saw the scythe. At that point the old man was extremely pale and felt like he wanted to faint. "Please...leave now...I don't want any trouble..." muttered the old man as he backed away. Hachie blinked before walking around the counter and seeing bath tokens. With a small smile he grabbed one and tossed it up to Tasha, saying "Catch." with that he grabbed one more for himself. He figured he should relax before a long journey.

◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ Latasha Kawasaki: Wolf/Mermaid Hybrid OOC;; "Geez, who says were gonna do trouble? What a way to greet customers..." She muttered as she caught a bath-token. She then sees that the signs have pointed to where male and women area was. She then looks at some of the people: "How else am I suppose to defend myself from a demon?" It felt like she was talking to herself but it was getting old on how everyone was looking at her like that. She then sighs as she took off her shoes and puts them at the entrance with the others, and then gets her scythe at some closet-space where some people enlisted their belongings at. She was thankful that she could stand up for awhile, long enough to go to those changing rooms where she can set her clothes down. She then brings out a white kimono robe around her as she then was able to get her hair out of that small ponytail. She then decides to ask one of the ladies.
She takes her jacket and then asks one of the head-ladies. "Can I ask you a favor? If it's no trouble." The lady seemed to nod nervously, either it was her personality or fear of Tasha but she wants to ignore it. "Do you know a seamstress nearby?"
'Ye-Yeah...why?" Tasha then gives the girl the jacket. Like Hachie, she too wondered what kind of harsh material it was. "I will pay for it in full. All I want is to open the inside." She then opens it up to show her. "And to sew a black soft material on it to cover the hole. It can be any material he/she wants as long as it is stitched up and sturdy. Mind doing that?" Tasha had no idea if the girl said yes or no, but the woman dashed off. "Thank.....you?"
Trying to ignore it, she decided to enter the steam bath and let her feet touch the water gently. Deeming it at the right temperature, Tasha strips off her white cloth and dip into the warm water, going down until her shoulders were the only ones exposed on the water. She then reaches for the soap so she can wash off the dirt in her hair so she can clean herself. "This feels so much better!" She exclaims with pleasure as she felt relief coming to her back and legs from the long journey.
She then does see in the women section, she was all alone and shrugged. "Better by myself than anyone else...." She then sings a tune from Celtic woman which was soft and quiet which made it a little relaxing to hear. "I just wonder how Hachie will relax." ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯

Hachiemon did the same except he kept the sword with him. He changed into a white towel before putting his stuff away in the changing room and walked out to the guys section of the spa. He looked at the other men who were talking he then looked at the steaming water hesitantly. Setting down the towel and sword by the side of the spa he slowly got in. Once he was fully submerged a smile crossed his face. "Well damn...it feels better then last time." With that he glanced over at the three guys who were glarin at him with fear. "Ignore me. Just go back to what you were talking about." glared Hachie. The trio jumped a bit and nodded before walking out of site so they could continue their conversation. Hachiemon then lowered himself a bit more into the water and let out a sigh of relief. He looked up at the bright blue sky and smiled. "I wonder how Natasha is relaxing right now..." he said calmly before thoughts began to enter his mind. His nose began to bleed a bit at the various ideas coming into his brain before an odd idea came up. "Wait...if she's in water...doesn't she become a fish?" he asked, blinking.

L2453 Lol..nose bleed. IDEA: I would say she 'accidentally' transformed into mermaid during the relaxation. Few people will see it, and start talking about it which gets to the ears of the emperor. And well..you know what goes from there. ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ Latasha Kawasaki: Wolf/Mermaid Hybrid OOC;; During her relaxation, she suddenly felt her two legs starting to twitch and then stitch themselves together like glue. Tasha's eyes widened as she felt what should've been her legs, now become a scaly tail. 'No...NO...NO!" She flaps around the water for a bit before being able to compose herself and remain still, her skin became pale in pure horror as now she was trying to get her legs to return to normal but it was not working.... "C'mon....come apart!" She muttered to herself, realizing that every second that went by only made her more fearful.
And if that not the worst thing to happen, the lady came in and sets down the jacket. "He-here you go." "Th-Thanks." She shivers as she then showed the lady the money that was for the seamstress. "Is that enough?" "Certainly." Tasha remained still, afraid that she will be exposed as a mermaid as she clutched onto the rock tightly. The lady was about to leave when the lady all of the sudden saw something. "Wh-What?"
"Butterfly. Ain't it pretty?" Tasha now had fear built up like a missle. Upon seeing that butterfly, She immediately panicked and pushes herself off, screaming a little during the aftermath. But she did not realize she pushed herself upward and expose some of the parts of her scaly tail. Once Tasha was back on the water taking in breaths. She suddenly see the girl's face widen in shock...which now Tasha knew she saw 'it'. "Oh My God! A Ningyo!" The woman exclaims, but Tasha puts her finger on her lips. "Please don't say anything!" She pleaded in a desperate tone.
The woman looked to the woman and then the rock as if investigating memory lane. "O-Ok." She mustered before leaving in a rush. Tasha had her arms around her and shivered, praying that she won't be exposed. ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯

Hachiemon heard the squeal and splash before he jumped out of the spa and ran towards the sound, holding the sheathed sword. Running through the main building he passed a man with a few guys beside him-well more like ran through and knocked them all around on accident- before he burst through the other side and drew the katana. His feet slid too a stop where he was behind a large enough rock to cover the lower half of his body. The silver-haired demon looked around the spa and held his sword tight before seeing Tasha. "Everything alright here? Are you hurt?" he asked, completely ignoring the woman who saw him in...full. He then looked at the water to see if their was any unnecessary shadows odd scents. Hachiemon then blinked a bit as the smell of Tasha's mermaid overloaded his senses. He dropped the sword with a small clatter and fell forward into the spa, knocked unconscious from her scent. A few seconds later the men barged in the ladies side and had their swords ready. "Where is he?" barked one of the men. "Where is the demon that knocked down Lord Hushashi?!"

◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ Latasha Kawasaki: Wolf/Mermaid Hybrid OOC;; "GAAAAAAH! GET OUT!" She throws a rock over at the men whom seemed to be looking for Hachie. She didn't even care now if her scaly tail showed as she now had her chest bare; throwing rocks at the men to get out. "OUT! OUT OUT!" She screams to get the attention of some people before they fled. She then takes a deep breath realizing someone is underwater. Blushing deeply, she yanks the person out realizing it was Hachie....not wearing anything. "oooooh man!" She muttered as now she had to get him out of the water and cover the 'parts' with a towel.
Tasha then feels his heart to see that he hadn't consumed too much water to where they blocked the lungs. She then decides to put pressure on his chest, pushing it down a bit before she soon realize her legs were now free and well.....she needed a cover-up.
She blushes and dries herself off before getting the kimono robe back on. She made sure it covered her two parts before she tried waking him up. "Man, your so lucky you fainted before seeing me." She muttered.......
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Is the Lord ok?"
"Yeah, the damn demon didn't do enough damage fortunately." Lord Hushashi sits up, grumbling to himself as he adjusts the hat and stands up to pat down his clothing. "Damn demon. What was the whole yelling about anyway?" He then tightens the belt that had his sheath attached to it. "M'lord, the one man whom is still conscious said something about a Ningyo. A woman Ningyo in fact."
"A woman...Ningyo?" The man's eyes brightened in curiosity of a woman...ningyo? "A ningyo is rare around these parts...why would one show up here?" He then looked down onto his men. "Let's go back to the castle for now so I can plan."
"Aye."
The men left alongside Hushashi, as the emperor gave one last glance to the area where the demon was seen before walking away; a smirk appeared on his lips before leaving the establishment. ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯

Hachiemon came too a few minutes later and leaned forward, coughing up water and looking around. He saw Tasha in her kimono and smiled. "You're gorgeous...you know that?" he then got up and coughed up the rest of the water before he grabbed his sword and sheathed it. He then looked and saw that he had a towel on. "..." a blush crossed his face as he remembered what happened. "...Sorry I barged in like that..." he apologized before turning to face her. "Want to stay and try to relax? I'll have to stay with you in case something bad happens." he asked before placing the sheathe across his shoulders. He had heard the screaming and immediately thought the worst so it was only natural he'd keep an eye on his wife.

◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ Latasha Kawasaki: Wolf/Mermaid Hybrid OOC;; She then facepalms herself when Hachie spoke up the first time in those few minutes: "No...I didn't know that. " She then hears him apologize: "I'm not that worried about it. The one I tried to kill were two strange men-"She then suddenly remembered what they said: "Did you knock someone out?" But then his question on if they can stay and relax...but he will have to stay with her narrowed her eyes. "Uh-huh. Ok." She knew it was best not to tell him of her butterfly phobia (She hates insects) and just allow his 'plan' to commence.
She then stands up and sighs: "Just don't look ok?" She then walked over to an area where she was hidden by rocks as she took off the white cloth again to get herself back in the spa. She then swims back to where Hachie was, looking up at him as she made sure the water covered everything but the top of her shoulders and head. "This is a woman's area so good luck facing women when they enter." She then lays her back on the wall, facing away from him so she can relax. "I only need a good minute or two then we can go. Wait....they..." She then remembered the name the two men were talking about: Lord Hushashi. IS it the lord that steals girls to the palace? She thought to herself, a little perplexed but tried not to worry about it. She now just took a deep breath and sighed in satisfaction. "This feels so good." ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯

Hachie blinked and looked at the girl with an odd look. "But...," he shut his mouth, realizing that they aren't married yet. When she was out of site he took off the towel and slowly lowered himself in the spa, placing his body against the cold yet relaxing edge. His arms were on the edge, with the sword in one hand as he remained vigilant. When Tasha swam over to him he looked at her and shrugged. "All I know is that I bumped into people on the way over here and just forget about the women." He then notice Tasha's face become a tad bit confused. "...something on your mind Natasha?" asked the demon.

◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ Latasha Kawasaki: Wolf/Mermaid Hybrid OOC;; She then frowned: "Were you seriously expecting me to let you see me naked?" She asks seriously, kind of figuring that since SHE is the wife that he thought he had that privilege. I am not staying here anyways....and I know I won't see him again... But that still didn't convince her so she shakes her head with her cheeks turning red. She was just surprised that he was in the same spa as her. As long as he keeps his fingers off of me. She then sighs again letting the water soothe her.
After a good half-hour, she decides to get off and get dressed. She steps off and dries herself...forgetting that he was there (forgetful huh?) as she dried herself and got her clothes back on: Women 'attire', jeans, shoes, socks, t-shirt, 'newly'-sewn black jacket. "Wow..the silk feels soft." She grins, liking the fact that it now had a new design on the place it was ripped from. She then realizes HE was there and muttered an 'oops', pretending to ignore it. "Uhhh...I'll pay for the spa..." She then leaves to go and pay, while waiting on Hachie.
Done paying the 450 yen EACH for the spa, she decided to wait at the entrance with her back against the wall; her scythe was on her hand while the other hand was inside her jacket pocket getting warm. She then starts to hear some motion coming from her left. It sounded like shuffling feet...she goes to see a man with long air; blue with a Kasa on top of him as he walks with Japanese-warrior attire. Tasha tried to shrug it off and tried not to stare off to space. "Strange clothing...you a foreigner?" Blinking, she looked up to the man whom asked the question....
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Yeah, I am kind of new here." The brown-haired girl responded to Hushashi's question, a little nervous though he can tell. "I see... He says.... 'I'm I bothering?" "Not really...just waiting for someone." The girl seemed to pull her hair back behind her ear as she had her eyes look to a different direction other than Hushashi's face.
"Obviously she is no normal being; strange clothing, a scythe on her hand, that can ring a bell pretty easily. The man says as he gives off a grin. "My name is Kaishou Hatachi, may I have permission for yours?" He can sense her nervousness but getting her trust seemed to be easy: "Tasha Kawasaki."
Even her name is foreign-like.... He then nods: "Tasha huh? Nice to meet you." He bows slightly. And as if on cue, there was a man shouting from a distance: "DEMON! SOMEONE HELP!"
"Wow...I guess they come this late at night."
"They do. I do wish you a farewell." He then runs off, and then on time, he drops something which seemed to be a bag.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Wa-wait!" She recognized the bag he dropped and picked it up. "Uhhh...uhhh..mister!" Forgetting the name completely, and deciding that Hachie can wait she ran off to go find him in which goes through the dark streets that were barely lit. She then stops running as soon as she saw footprints which seemed new that ran down an alleyway. She tipped her head and headed on town. "Anyone...there?" She proceeded on to see if anybody was there. Tasha continued on until she soon realized she was not alone. With a gust blowing past her, she tried to swing her scythe over at someone but it was too late...
She felt something on her mouth, gagging her until a strong scent consumed her slipping her to unconsciousness. Her scythe flew out from the alleyway and landed on the middle of the street. "Mission accomplished." ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯ ● ◯

Hachiemon looked at his wife as she got out and blushed, his eyes scanned her body as she dried off and seemed to have forgotten about him. The young demon attempted to look away but there was something about her that he just couldn't help but look. Once she was fully dressed and left to pay he slowly got out and did the same. A smile had crossed his face as he got dressed. A faint scent had effected his nose once he was fully dressed. It was...different then Natasha's. He then soon heard a male's voice, followed by a response by Natasha. The voices were a bit off but enough for the demon to faintly hear. Slipping the sword inside his belt he was about to go confront the two when someone yelled help from a demon. Hachiemon was soon running out of the men's dressing room to see the flaps moving. "Natasha!" exclaimed Hachie as he bolted out of the bathhouse and looked around. He quickly got on the ground and searched for her scent. Finding it...along with the other stench. Just then it hit him. "Oh no...their's a demon about...and it must have gotten Natasha!" said the being. Anger filled his body before he let out a fox howl. Kicking off his back foot with as much power as he could, Hachiemon began to sprint with the scent on his mind. "Not today!" exclaimed the demon as he saw the scythe. His blood ran cold at the sight before his head snapped towards the alleyway. "NATASHA!" exclaimed Hachiemon as he ran into the billowing ally.
