Doctor's Orders {Female Needed, PAFP}

Tomoe moved over silently towards Gorou, speaking up only when he got close, "Gorou... I need to ask of you something very important." The man turned his head towards Tomoe though upon seeing the serious expression on his face had made his eyebrows furrow as he said, "Yeah? What is it?" Tomoe took in a breath then said quietly, "I need you to tell me if there's anyone suspicious around.. just for precautionary measures." Gorou frowned though he sighed as he nodded his head, "Very well. Though I don't know what you're up to now, please be safe." Tomoe nodded his head, a faint smile crossing his face, "Of course." With that he had turned away from the man, beginning to move up the stairs though a faint frown crossed his face. The feeling of apprehension never left him, which made him slightly on edge.

Tomoe made his way into the room, though pausing as he looked at Skylar. Seeing her sleeping so peacefully made a faint smile crossing his face, even so... he did need to stay alert. There was no time for him to simply let his guard down. So, as he closed the door behind him, he had sat down upon the floor near the door as he laid the sword he still had with him upon his lap, leaning his head back against the wall and merely listening. Though he did doze for a few times, he still kept himself alert enough to listen for any suspicious sounds.

Tomoe's attention fully came into focus as soon as Skylar had approached in which he met her gaze, almost startled for a few seconds before he calmed and said, "I just had a bad feeling," His hands tightened upon the sheath of the sword in his hands as his eyes briefly seemed to go back to the cold expression, "...I've learned quickly not to ignore such a thing. If something is happening then I want to be as prepared as I possibly can."

Tomoe smiled slightly at her, "...I'll be fine without a bit of rest Skylar. I've trained my body to remain alert for at least two days." He paused however as soon as the apprehension grew to a heightened point as it seemed his eyes grew cold as he immediately rushed forward, grabbing Skylar and immediately pushing her to the ground, holding her underneath him as his body seemed to be attempting to shield her from view, with one hand coming to her lips he whispered very quietly, "Shh." Obviously he seemed to have sensed something as his now cold eyes seemed to drift past her to the very floor itself, remaining ahsolutely tense and still as if he was listening for something.

Tomoe's heartbeat was calm and steady as well as his breathing. There seemed to be no fear coming from him, only a steady calmness. His gaze had turned towards the door as he heard footsteps coming up the stairs, uneven and heavy. His jaw clenched as his body tensed up, coiling in anticipation at the approaching footsteps, however his brow furrowed as soon as the footsteps stopped in front of the door, slowly he rose off of Skylar and gave her a look as if warning her not to move as he slowly moved away as he took his sword and tightly held it as he slowly made his way over towards the door as he raised his sword slightly as if preparing to strike down anyone that could go through, however he froze as soon as he heard a faint whisper, "There you are, my dear Tomoe.." Tomoe quickly turned around, his eyes widening only to narrow at the woman now standing behind him. Though he was irritated that he'd not felt her presence go through the door... such a thing..

"What? No warm reception Tomoe? What a shame.. I'd thought you'd have better manners." The woman smiled coyly, "Though I'm guessing you're on guard because of the pitiful woman in this room. Her breathing is quite quick and fearful... Ah, but I nearly forgot our other old friends!" The door opened and a man walked in, his piercing gaze unnerving as she murmured, "I hope you remember Buyo?" Tomoe's cold gaze remained upon the woman in front of him though he said calmly, "How could I forget?"

The woman smirked slightly as she moved closer to Tomoe who kept a calm and cold expression, though he was thinking about how to get Skylar away from this situation. The woman cooed as she moved closer to Tomoe, raising her hand to the side of his face and caressing him, "You've disappointed me Tomoe, and after all I did for you too... turning on your comrades and killing them?" Tomoe remained quiet as she moved closer, her fingers trailing up the sides of his face and to his glasses as she took them off, staring into the cold depths, "I could've killed you sooner you know? But I didn't have enough heart to do it... after all you seen to enjoy your little pet now do you?" She turned her head towards Skylar, the woman's glistening blue eyes holding only a venomous expression in them, "But, of course I can give you another chance Tomoe.." She turned towards him yet again, a smile upon her lips, "If you come back to me... we won't have to worry about this little incident.." Her fingers trailed across his chest ever so slightly, "I'll supply you all the medicine you'd need.. and the only cost would be being mine again... I'm sure you remember what it was like, the pleasure I supplied you... Tomoe-" However the sword came up to the woman's neck, though Buyo seemed to be about to move forward, Tomoe spoke coldly, "If you move, I'll kill her. If you approach Skylar, I'll kill her. Either way," Tomoe's cold smile crossed his face, "I think it'll be quite difficult to negotiate with me in the current position you're in Ayami."

The woman's eyes were wide for a few moments, as if completely taken off guard, her heart pounding in her chest as she sucked in a breath, "..You've grown since the last time I saw you Tomoe... Buyo," She looked over towards the man, "Stand down." The man hesitated before he stepped back, although slowly and hesitantly.

Ayami's gaze met Tomoe's though amusement was in her expression, she did glance down nervously at the sword pointed at her neck which it was beginning to pierce the skin, a small trickle of blood coming forth, "So, what are you going to do to me Tomoe? Kill me? Torture me?" Tomoe's eyes narrowed, his hand tightening upon the sword in his grip in which he felt tempted to just slit the woman's neck right then and there... the temptation to do such an act was actually making him consider it however...

Tomoe looked over towards Skylar and he spotted the fear on her face which his jaw clenched as he turned his attention back towards Ayami, a cold smile playing across his face, "No. Neither of those things are good enough for you, Ayami.." He then spoke directly to Skylar, "Skylar, grab the supplies and bags and get out of here. And Buyo... don't you dare hurt her... I still have Ayami.. remember?" The man's eyes narrowed however he stepped out of the way of the entrance.

Tomoe's jaw clenched as he said through clenched teeth, "Skylar, just go. I can't protect you and hold them at bay if they do decide to attack." His eyes narrowed, "Besides... I've been in situations worse than these." Ayami laughed, "Oh? So Tomoe is protecting his little toy? That's cute.." Tomoe's lips twitched up in a cold smile, his gaze turning to Ayami, "It's best of you stay quiet. Or else when it comes time to deal with you I won't hold back." Ayami chuckled, though her eyes narrowed, "Trying to act like a man.. admirable, yet you're still just the inexperienced child that- grrk!" She sucked in a sharp breath as he pressed the sword tighter against her neck, "Careful Ayami, I'd rather not speak of my immature past." His cold eyes turned back to Skylar, "Go. Now."

Tomoe went very much still as Skylar had kissed him, his attention being split between Ayami and Skylar herself, though this time he did not kiss her back his lips remaining unyielding against hers though her presence was reassuring to him, in all honesty he was taken off guard by the display of affection, yet the demand she had made caused him to pause for a few brief moments before nodding his gaze turning back towards Ayami who seemed to have gotten in quite the foul mood at the sight in front of her. As soon as Skylar left, Tomoe sighed though he murmured, "Finally.. now I can kill you and not feel guilty about it." Buyo had immediately rushed forward, however he quickly turned and grabbed the man by the throat with his free hand and before the man could begin to fight back, his neck was snapped in one swift, quick moment. As Tomoe dropped the body to the floor, Ayami smiled slowly, "Quite impressive.. your skills haven't dulled at all haven't they?" A cold smile crossed his face as he looked to her, "I've been preparing for a situation like this.. I never intended to stay under the Zashi for long, even you should've known this Ayami."

His eyes narrowed however as she brushed the sword aside from her neck as she stepped closer to Tomoe, pressing close to him, "Right, right... and I'm assuming you're quite the man now aren't you? I've been always watching your successful kills.. mmm, how long has it been Tomoe? You're what... twenty-six, twenty seven now? It's been fifteen or so years.." Her hands came up to the sided of Tomoe's face, "I'll even forgive you finding a pet behind my back..." She then kissed him, slowly and softly though a grunt of pain escaped her as blood boiled forward from her lips, her eyes wide in pained shock as Tomoe's free hand gripped her hair and yanked her head back as his tongue licked away the blood that had smeared across his lips, the sword he had swiftly impaled her through with, "As appealing as that sounds... I quite remember you torturing me so much that the pleasure blurred with the pain, I'm not too interested in being a plaything for you anymore... plus I'd much rather Skylar over someone so unreliable as you Ayami." Tomoe ripped the sword back and then angled it at her face, "Now... shall we begin?"

Anzu's face was pale, seemingly anxious as well as Gorou though the man was murmuring reassuring words to his wife. She looked up towards Skylar, though seeing the tears in her eyes she said in a frantic tone, "Yes, he's always been leaving lately to outside of the town it's near a large tree.. but what's going on? Are you alright?"

Anzu frowned at Skylar's response though she said hesitantly, "Goodbye, stay safe." However she looked worriedly towards the stairs as soon as Skylar left, a frown crossing her face as she thought worriedly, Tomoe... were those people after you..?

Tomoe sighed as he lowered the sword in his hand, the blood dripping down the sword's edge as he stared down at the now deceased woman upon the floor. He'd taken his time in killing her, making sure to draw out the pain as much as could as he quite enjoyed every single response she would give him. A small smile crossed his face as he turned away, murmuring, "That was quite refreshing Ayami.. " He forced his expression to calm as he cleaned the blood away from the sword in his hand, realizing he had taken up too much time in the room, he huffed as he quickly rushed off out of the room though asking briefly Anzu and Gorou where she had went and quickly continuing on his way when they had responded, rushing off into the direction Skylar had gone. Upon reaching the clearing with the large tree, he paused as soon as he saw her and slowly approached saying quietly, "Skylar, are you alright?"
