A Devil's lair [Free RP / Clan Casino ]

[Senju Kazuki]

"...perhaps you are right. I must contain this..." Akkuma would declare after hearing Nagato's words and checking the ruckus caused by a single man on the screens. Unless the demon was to leave the premises, there was no need for the Chuunin to follow. The Senju Uchiha remained in the room, still seating, merely looking into the screens assessing what was going on. He would activate his sharingan just to be on the safer side. Unless extremely needed or there was just cause for it, Nagato would remain inside the office until Akkuma's return.​

[Ketsueki Satou]

What peculiar situation it had come to. Satou thought he would stop the incident by simply confronting the man with words and open arms. Of course he bared down at him, but did not run him through or try to shove him aside.

Satou had seconds to hear the rushed madness from the mans lips as he confronted Satou. The mad ravings were simplistic. An animal type person chasing him. The man was delusional. It was at the moment he heard the roar of the demon Mirouku Akkuma. Satou looked at the creature with a clear expression on his face. Thoughtful, pondering if he had met such a creature before. He didn't show fear or reverence to him, for this was their first meeting, Akkuma was a stranger to him.

As soon as the delusional man in red pointed at Akkuma and called him a Cow person, Satou didn't know if it was the alcohol that got to him, or just the spontaneity of the madman's words. Satou found himself doubling over in laughter at Akkuma. "HE CALLED YOU A COW PERSON! AHAHAHA" He had to hold his gut from rupturing with too much laughter. He sighed with laughter wiping a few tears from his pale ember eyes. Getting back to his feet he felt the shift in the air. Being a demon himself, his body was sensitive to the paranormal, his eyes were used to seeing the undead. Hell, he had to kill a ghost once. Scars still itched once in awhile thinking about that damn Nanjirou's blade.

Seeing the spirits circle around his new friend clad in red. Satou patted the man on the shoulder, steadying him from spinning around in circles. He was making Satou dizzy. "Hey man, My names Satou. Just so you know-" He looked about, seeing spirits of the dead that looked tormented and evil. He could feel the sins among them. "I like to drink a lot. I like to drink sooooooo much. That no bad snake people come near me. Come sit down with me and drink friend. No snake people here. " He tried guiding the flustered swordsman to the bar. Get the man to drink, hopefully calm down and the spirits would leave him. If this plan didn't work. Satou would let the owner of the establishment handle this. He just wanted to go cuddle with Kaza and get drunk.

 

[Miroku Akkuma]

While the Events unfolded downstairs the Senju Clansmen activated his Doujutsu & stood watch in the office watching the various monitors. With the Sharingan active he would notice a series of seals that had been inscribed onto the wall behind Akkuma's desk. Done in a way that only those who could view chakra would be able to see. It was a method utilized by the Anbu, but Akkuma had always argued it had a flaw. That flaw was Doujutsu users, in truth he'd come across so few of them in Suna he hadn't concerned himself with the thought too much. Kaza's kikai bug clone stood at the entrance of the door watching the shinobi. But how sentient were the beetles? Would they really know if he was doing something he shouldn't have been?

Meanwhile downstairs the startled newcomer started saying that Snake People were coming for him, following up by saying he didn't want to hurt anyone. He continued on saying that they wanted to trap him there the comment made him chuckle. The only person who held anyone here against their will was himself. However what the man said next caused a vein to become prominent upon his forehead & the newcomer who stood between him & the madman burst into laughter falling to the ground. Cackling he cried out pointing at Akkuma stating what had just happened causing his tail to twitch with further frustration. Behind Akkuma stood Kaza who was bright red with both hands clasped over his mouth doing his best to hide his laughter.

Various images flooded his mind scenes of them screaming in agony as the undead dined upon their flesh. Demonic arms dragging their lifeless bodies into the depths of the Abyss. However these soothing thoughts were interrupted by a swirling mass of spirits who seemed to be centering in on his patron. A Dark chakra would begin to surround the demon as his eyes scanned the spirits before him. So this shinobi was cursed, the Sage could only wonder how he had gotten himself in such a state. The raven-like shinobi who seemed so mysterious steadied the cursed shinobi introducing himself. 'Satou...I'll be sure to remember this man.' he thought to himself making note to keep an eye on the beings activities.

Satou looked around at the spirits something that Akkuma took note of, the shinobi tried to comfort the frenzied man by offering him to have drinks with him. The demons hands formed a series of handseals & a chakra mask formed in his hands. He held in his hands a Cursed item a sealed shinigami, the result of a dark & forbidden technique. "You're in my establishment while under my roof none will harm you. Not the living & certainly not the dead." with those words he placed the mask upon his face & he was cloaked by the form of a Shinigami. That piercing gaze of his moved towards the damned as a wave of energy flooded out of the Sage passed the living, sweeping over the dead & even reaching the Sages office. To those who got trapped within the energies something astonishing would happen. The landscape around them changed into that of a shifting desert. A myriad of different energies would crackle in the air above them.

Those deathly energies tried to draw the life of everything but the demon was in control. While he controlled the shinigami it's powers would harm only those he deemed enemies. Today that was the dead who tormented the man who had sought salvation under his roof. By the creeds of his people who could not allow any harm to befall the shinobi. "Mark my words spirits. Leave this place at once...should you choose to stay here I shall make eternal servants of you all." with those words he would raise his hand & dark chains would explode fourth from voids before him. They lashed out grabbing one of the spirits & pulling it back towards him. A look of horror was upon it's face as it was pulled towards the Sage who wielded death itself.

Raising his left hand before him flaming kanji would appear on his fingertips. What was he thinking? Had he not gone far enough performing a forbidden jutsu in the presence of civilians. But now he intended to do one of the biggest taboos known to shinobi. Bind one of the dead & seal them in servitude. An act that defied the laws of nature, its practitioners often scorned by society. Here though it would seem his guest were overjoyed at the display thinking some wondrous show was taking place. For they could not see the spirits, but those that could hear what the shinobi said watched on in awe. Some believing they were witnessing an exorcism, others thinking they had been transported to another would. Most though seemed mesmerized by what was taking place above them them in the sky.

Now the spirit was before him he reached out his hand entering its abdomen as dark energy crackled through its spiritual energy. He used his Sage chakra to bind the soul to this earth once more. Before long her bare form would fall to the sands runic glyphs tracing her neck, going down her spine & encasing her limbs. They were spiritual chains that would bind her to his will. White hair cascaded passed her shoulders & hid the features of her face. Rolling out from the sleeves of his robes were bandages that seemed to weave themselves around the woman's form. Helping provide her some modesty for now. Two wings spread out of her back wings as white as snow. Akkuma didn't know it yet but this spirit had gifts that could put siren's to shame.

No doubt when he found out one would see the spirit performing at the Casino entertaining his patrons. He reached out placing a hand upon her chin lifting her face so he could look upon her features. "What's your name." he would ask her as he assessed the spirit he had bound before him. He'd never had one manifest in a form quite like this, it was most peculiar but he knew how he could take advantage of it. " Kaiyo my Master." with those softly spoken words she disappeared. His gaze now returning to those spirits that circled above "Anyone else?" he would ask the spirits before them.

[IWR/Earthbound Attempt! He's snatching up yo spirits. Chasing yo snake people way. It's the Cow Sage!]

 

[Kairyuu]

Alcohol sounded good. The man was speaking comforting words, and he was not of the snake people. The fact that a member of the mice people was brave enough to laugh at the cow clansman spoke volumes. The fear and panic were fading with the presence of two allies. The pain, however, was getting worse as the souls drew near. He looks up and sees one he never wanted to. The man who conceived him. Maki snarls, the sound more animalistic than human. The soul recoils, and then as Akkuma speaks, they all fly off. All but one. Maki watches as the other takes the soul as his own, only minorly confused that others could do such a thing. Then again, the soul was still there, which meant he was quite different from Maki himself.

He allows Satou to lead him to the bar, his mind slowly realigning itself to reality. ”Scotch, no ice.” He says to the bartender, then looks to Satou. ”Interesting name for one of the mice people. But….” Brown eyes close, and golden eyes open to look around. ”I’m thinking that was just a fevered dream of some sort.” His golden orbs vanish back to brown in a blink and he sways slightly as they do.

”I am Isaki Tsukiakari.” Even in his state he knew better than to give his real name, may as well go with a false one. And it sounded…fitting to mimic a member of the Isaki. Let the blame fall to them for his faults here. ”And I believe I have ingested something I should not have.” With that said he takes the drink and throws it back. Then he turns to Akkuma. ”So you guys can see them too?” While the spirits in main had fled, some were slowly peeking back into existence, as if a lost puppy looking for a master.

The fabled doujutsu of the Uchiha clan, the so called Sharigan endowed its user with many different abilities. With so much power in one's eyes, it was incredible how they were unable to rule the world. Perhaps it was a testament that power without will or brains is not enough. Like the Byakugan, the Sharigan gave the user the ability to see chakra, although, unlike the Hyuuga's doujutsu, it wasn't as refined nor as precise. Still, it was a crafty ability to have and could be a lifesaver on certain specific occasions. After activating his Sharingan, Nagato continued gazing the monitors, but something else caught up his interest. Dozens of chakra seals littered the walls of Akkuma's office. Given he was not an ANBU official and only had minor training in it, the Chuunin did not recognize those symbols for what they were. But he could see them nonetheless. Locking said information for a later time, the Senju Uchiha kept watching the situation below. It was apparently defused, but nothing was certain so far.​

[Ketsueki Satou]

Satou was a bit more than relieved when the demon Mirouku Akkuma unleashed his odd Sagely powers over the damned to scare away the spirits plaguing the red clad shinobi. But what Akkuma did made him pause to watch. He latched onto a spirit, and dragged it to the physical plain. Sealing it's form in tangible form that others could witness. But he could see the spirits, running and flying away into the corners of who knows where.

He listened to his new drinking buddy ask the bartender for scotch. "Good choice." He then waved his hand as the bartender walked away and the bottle of scotch came to his hand with a jolt across the counter. Snatching it out of the air rather calmly as he poured himself a nice big full glass of scotch, right to the rim with almost precision drops to get just the right amount, then sat the bottle beside his new friend.

"It was chosen for what I am, not really my say in the matter sadly." He laughed, then carefully sipped his glass of scotch, slowly emptying it till he sat an empty glass on the counter. A gander at the young man's glowing eyes, how interesting they were, and how quick they left. "Oh yes, probably something nasty that gives wicked bad trips my friend. Good reason I stick to alcohol." He laughed and gave a gentle slap to the mans shoulder. "Nice to meetcha Tsuki-San, Don't mind me calling you such? Your names a damn mouthful." He burst into another laughter and with another movement of his hand, a bottle of liquor was held the next second, uncorked by invisible fingers and put to his lips with a fierce chugging.

His throat was burning, and all he wanted was Kaza naked in bed with him. But he had to play the social human, otherwise Kaza would yap Satou's ear's off about how he brought him here to meet his family. So far, Satou was a bit worried what this family was doing. Their leader a man who can chain spirits to this earth. Made his skin crawl a bit, and it made the demon in his head laugh. Shut up, trying to get drunk.

Where was Kaza? His burning ember eyes filled with an unnatural hunger. Looking for his lover among the crowd. Seeing his love still hanging out behind his lord Akkuma. He scowled and wanted to leap of Tsuki and the counter to jump Kaza. He didn't know why, he just hated the feeling of being physically separated from his love.

He came back to Tsuki when asked a quick question. "See dead people? Yeah, all the time. Wish they'd stop showing up all over the place. Normal people are lucky, don't realize all the weird pervert ghosts floating over their heads while they go pee." He burst out laughing and continued drinking. Getting up, he drunkenly walked right past Akkuma, barely giving off any feeling of fear or animosity to be around such a being who wielded the power to command the undead. he just tunnel visioned and went straight for Kaza. "My love! Look at you, all dressed up and without me around your arms. Sorry for running off like that love." He pulled Kaza close and kissed him with alcohol still lingering on his lips, it was a fine brandy wine. His burning eyes lingered over Kaza, taking him in as if he was going to do something drastic to his lover. His kisses started trailing to Kaza's neck. But he stopped remembering they were in a public place, and Kaza's boss was standing right behind him.

"I had to go help out my new friend over there." He pointed over at "Isaki Tsukiakari." Gave Tsuki a drunken wave even though they were but a few feet away from the bar. "My friend Tsuki-San over there was in a bit of trouble, thought i'd get him a few drinks." He smirked and kissed Kaza's forehead, his burning eyes swivel over back to Mirouku Akkuma.

"So, Boss of the show. Love the place, a bit spooky. But hey, booze is good. Games look interesting too. Doesn't seem like a dull moment here." He smiled and acted casually, as if Akkuma was just a friend of Kaza's he was meeting the first time. Satou was rather drunk, didn't really mind how laid back he was with new people.

He poked Kaza gently in the rib. "Hey love, gonna properly introduce me?" Satou smiled while kissing Kaza's forehead again.

 

[Miroku Akkuma]

The sage chuckled as the spirits flew away choosing to keep a safer distance from the man who had bound one of their kin. That mismatched gaze of his would shift to the shinobi who had laughed at him & the cursed newcomer. While the two shinobi made banter Akkuma spoke to his kin Kaza "Your presence was missed in Sora...you shall debrief me later." the single sentence was all he spoke to the subordinate as he approached the two shinobi. Kaza could be seen behind the approaching demon a slight look of anxiousness upon his face. He didn't understand he'd gone to Kumogakure, he'd met with Ayumu & completed his mission. That was when he heard it "I am Isaki Tsukiakari." the name was not that of any household Akkuma had come from Mist.

Taking note that he held the same family name as the former Mizukage. He moved towards the shinobi listening to their exchange. Approaching when Satou made to move towards Kaza, the mysterious man moved passed him towards his subordinate. The demon was unsure he felt about this man's affections to his kin, he didn't know the man perhaps he was a mark. Nonetheless he knew enough that Kaza's judgement could be trusted for the most part. However he had been surprised to hear the shinobi could hear the spirits too, but then again what normal person jumps in front of a raving lunatic? "Indeed I can Tsukiakari, I'm a Dark Sage affairs of the occult I kind of my thing." he would say with a warm chuckle. Slamming a massive hand down on the counter, almost immediately a massive chalice was placed into his monstrous hand.

"So tell me what series of Events led a cursed Isaki clan member to my door? If you continue to insist it was something you ate, then perhaps you might enlighten me as to what that was..." the Sage would ask the impostor before him, not that he was any wiser to the lie. "I've performed many practices that have earned me the ire of the dead. But none so to cause a scene quite like that...forgive me for saying but you are a most interesting subject." the Sage would say with that burning curiosity in those mismatched eyes. How he loved new subjects to investigate, particularly ones that seemed to be thrown before him by fate. Taking a series of large gulps from his chalice the demon would place it back onto the bar.

"Fortunately for you Isaki Tsukiakari, Clan Miroku originated from Mist. With that in mind..." he would pause fumbling through a pocket in his robes. Finally he found it taking out the little wolf badge, the accessory was no bigger then a button. But was carved from a chakra retaining crystal. Imbuing it with a small amount of chakra he would give the item to 'Tsukiakari'. "Show that to my kin & they will give you our clans full hospitality..." he would say with a smile turning & gazing out over the casino. Mist was gone there was no changing that, he'd made a new home for his people in Sunagakure. None of that however took away the old bonds he felt for the village & the hardships of his people.

That gaze of his fell upon the mysterious Satou as he spoke to Kaza...

-Meanwhile Kaza-

Those forest grin eyes lit up with joy as Satou's attention once more returned to him. "Always the charmer my love..." he would say softly as they embraced, he could still taste the wine on his lovers lips. Kaza blushed & chuckled as Satou moved his affections down to Kaza's neck. It seemed his love realized they were in the middle of the Casino, because he gestured to the newcomer who had been raving only moments before. Listening to his loves words he would give his love a gentle kiss as he asked "Well your friend seems to be a lot...calmer." he would say with a warm smile, choosing to forego such words as insane, crazy or deluded. It was then that his love called out to Akkuma.

-back to Akkuma-

A devilish grin would spread across his face at Satous words. "Well what do you expect from a place called the Devil's Lair?" he would say with a sinister laugh. "Well we need to be able to get all sorts of beings inebriated. I'm glad you enjoy our establishment. Oh the games ah quite fun...some nights they can even be down right deadly." he would say turning once more to pick up his chalice. "If there were a dull moment it'd probably kill me..." he'd say with a chuckle downing the last of his chalice before hopping over the bar counter. Refilling his drink he gestured for Satou & Kaza to take a seat as he noticed the shinobi nudge his kin.

-Kaza-

"Hey...watch it..." he'd say with a chuckle, looking at his Lord. "Sir...Akkuma this is Ketsueki Satou the shinobi I love." he would declare proudly before blushing brightly. "...Satou this is my Lord Akkuma Head of the Miroku Clan." he would say with that done he would slump into his seat & graciously took the drink handed to him buy his Lord. Those forest green eyes moving from his love, to his lord & the newcomer they had just absorbed into their night. Giving the man a smile he would take a swig of his drink before turning to face his Lord wondering what he would say.

-Akkuma-

Akkuma's gaze shifted from his kin to the being before him. There was a brief moment of pausing before he turned to Kaza after listening to his introduction. "You're telling me you took two years to complete your mission because you were getting some tail?" he'd shake his head with a chuckle as his subordinate silently blushed. Every time he went to speak he just got another shade redder & took another sip of his drink. Turning his gaze now to Satou he would give the man an appraising look "What's your poison?" the demon would ask, for his establishment stocked all kinds of product. He had little doubt that he wouldn't possess something of interest to the shinobi. All the while that gaze of his never leaving the man.

-Meanwhile up in the Office-
The emotionless black eyes of the bug clone held the Uchiha in their gaze as he stood there analyzing the runes from a safe distance with his Doujutsu. When he passed the information on to his superiors they would see that the chakra runes where for a hidden entrance seal. But what could be so important he'd be hiding it right under everyone's nose. That answer would be much harder to find. For if one were to get a Hyuuga to use their Byakugan they would be unable to see what was hidden. Only that there was what looked to be a lead lined lift & a lead lined vault of some kind below it. Of course that would be the obvious assumption. No in truth it was empty for now, but if everything went according to plan it wouldn't be for long.

Alcohol. It was a vice, and a pleasant one at that. It could make even the strongest of men go to their knees and worship a king. A king of porcelain and a worship of filth, but still. As Satou mentions sticking to it, Maki nods and drains his glass, setting it down and asking the bartender for another. ”Tsuki is fine. The Isaki clan tends to be rather…grandiose and the names often follow that line of thought.” As the glass is refilled, Maki downs it and sets it down for another.

Maki gives a nod to the talk of ghosts. ”I think after death, most forget the niceties of being alive and just want to know what’s going on all the time. Nosy busybodies, but they can be helpful.” He looks over as the other speaks to a third person, referring to them as “my love”. Maki bows his head to the other man. ”Satou has been most helpful.” Even as the words leave he is accosted by another. The one he’d mistaken for a cow person due to the horns.

Akkuma was definitely not the calming influence of Satou. At his mention of Dark Sage, visions flash before his mind in rapid fire. A land bridge leading to an impossible city floating over a massive underground lake that was in constant spiral around a center point. A staff that held a globe of flowing lights. A seal of cursed power. He sways slightly as they go by, grabbing at his head with one hand and groaning. And now he wanted to know what he ate. Maki’s hesitation to answer led to some more information, however.

Miroku clan, from Mist. And he looked at the badge being given to him, giving a nod. ”Very well. As for what I ate….well that’s an interesting one.” Usually honesty wasn’t the best policy in his life, but in this instance the honest answer was bizarre enough it should work. ”I ate my soul. My brother stole it from me when we were kids, and I wanted it back. Unfortunately, it was somewhat anchored to his own soul. Thankfully, he was already dead so he wasn’t using it much.” So far, all true. ”Not sure what else he’d been doing, but that’s all I can think of to lead to what just happened to me, much less what happened here.” He drains his glass again, getting another.

Drunk was a state he very much desired to be in.

 

[Senju Kazuki]

[col]

It would seem the situation on the bar had been defused. Perhaps it was due to Akkuma's intervention and soul sealing. Or lady luck had played extensively to calm everyone down. Regardless of the method used, things were going smoothly for now. Although, given the ridiculous amount of alcohol being ingested by those present, it was not safe to declare if escalation was going to happen again. This was not his casino, nor his Overlord's. He did not have to do anything besides watching. Nagato would patiently wait for Akkuma's return. If the Lord of the Miroku Clan were to leave the premises, he would quickly leave the office and follow suit.​

[Kairyuu]

The drink was getting to him, for sure. The drink and something else. Maki closes his eyes as the world spins around him once more. He was getting tired. He opens them slowly and finishes his drink before suddenly slouching to the left and tipping over to the floor. He was breathing, and definitely alive. But he wasn’t responding much.

Apparently he couldn’t hold his liquor on this night.

(topic left. Feel free to RP Maki just being passed out. Do crazy things with his unconscious form like draw on it and whatnot if you want )

 

[Ketsueki Satou]

( REALLY Sorry for slow reply, i'm dealing with quite a bit atm. I'll try and be more diligent with posts.)

The soft hue of the room was warming, the sounds of the gambling behind him, the breathing of the sage in front of him. The smell of his love but inches from him. In his mind all the senses swirled into a vortex of thoughts, within the library of his mind he could sit in the silence. Among memories long since tucked away in the back of his mind. His burning ember eyes lit as he looked to his lover, his Kaza. Satou's hand reached out and gently petted Kaza's cheek.

Satou's eyes lit like fire's roaring to life. Moving off his seat and wrapping himself around Kaza. Holding his love close to him. He gave his love a peck on the forehead and the noise in his mind ceased. "Two of the happiest years of my entire life." And such a statement held some gravity for those who knew Satou personally. Just the closeness of Kaza kept the world so calm. No horrors in his eyes, no demons of his paste ripping his body apart. He was no threat to anyone when he was in the calming embrace of someone who loved him.

He laughed as his gaze was hard to break from Kaza, but he did give a glance to Akkuma. Satou looked past the sage to the long wall of booze. "Something that can kill a man, but get a demon drunk." He then gave his attention back to his lover. Kissing Kaza's cheek. "Make sure not to get too hammered ok, it carries through your blood and it get's me really @!#$ faced." He laughed and embraced Kaza, soon taking his attention to his new friend Maki.

He felt rather guilty for neglecting him in what felt like seconds could have been minutes, upon minutes. Hearing Maki fall off his stool made Satou move even without word or thought. He was already bending down to pick his friend up. "Oh, Maki-San. I'm sorry to hear bout your predicament friend." Making sure Maki was propped up on the stool, properly resting him onto the counter.

Satou, taking his worn out jacket and placing it over Maki like a blanket. "I'm sorry Maki-San, I'm not one for good conversations sometimes. Much like you and your brother. I got someone hitching onto my soul as well. But I would say he, yeah, he doesn't really enjoy me having all the fun." He gave a good, drunk laugh. Satou was well into it already. Not even caring if Maki was out could.


Though he was a good drunken friend. Making sure no one disturbed Maki while he slept.Making sure as well Maki had vitals. If any disturbed Maki, Satou would drunkenly swat them away. While cussing in languages unbeknownst to himself even.

He wanted more booze. While watching the sage make him a drink. Satou leaned on the counter as he tapped his fingers, he could hear it breathing in his ear. the seething breathing that only it's grotesque mouth can make. How bout you all come have a seat inside?
Satou's body had a chill. A swell of chakra swirling in his chest. He could feel it inside, it was restless.

No i'm not going to let Kaza into my mind, you @!#$ing disturbed little creature. Oh did I hit a scabbing wound? How about I ask Akkuma-San? You- You what? You wouldn't. I would, and will do so, now.

There was this change, very settle at first. His post wasn't sluggish like a drunk. He was attentive, sitting straight up staring at Akkuma with burning eyes. "So tell me, ever walked into a demon's mind before?" Kaza would recognize the voice immediately. It was a bit deeper, as if dropped an octave.

 

[Miroku Akkuma]

Listening to the exchanges between Satou & Maki. It was curious to see how quickly a bond had begun to form between the two. Needless to say Akkuma was most surprised to hear how Isaki had acquired this ill effect. The Isaki's statement causing Satou to acknowledge he had his own unwanted passenger within his body. Silently he reached behind him underneath the bench & removed a bottle of cut onyx. Inside was a liquor that only Akkuma possessed the constitution to handle. A personal brew that had been his specialty for years. even demigods had fallen into a drunken stupor from this beverage. Pouring a glass for Satou he would slide it towards the man. Those fumes alone that wafted from the glass would test the fortitude of any man.

The drink was a mixture of fermented divine fruits, demonic blood & distilled through carnosaur meat. In all it was a flavor that very few possessed the palate to truly appreciate, let alone stomach. That mismatched gaze of his would raise to meet that of Satou's as the shinobi's aura changed. When 'it' spoke next a sinister smile slid across the Sages face. "I had wondered when you might show yourself again..." as he walked around the bench stopping next to Tsuki & withdrawing an empty syringe. Despite any attempts at intervention he would plunge the instrument into the mans veins & pulled back the plunger sucking the blood from the mans vein. Removing it he would give the mans arm a rub with some fabric. Looking down at the unconscious man he would speak to Kaza & Satou. "If you think I would offer him the hospitality of my people & invite him into my home without retaining something I can use to track him should he betray my hospitality. You are wrong." he would say as he placed the vial onto his belt.

Turning his gaze once more back to 'Satou' he would speak to the demon. "You know now that you mention it I can't say I have." he would say with a smile walking back behind the counter. Noting the sudden look of concern upon Kaza's face. "There will be know more hunting in my dojo understood." It wasn't a question but a statement of fact he would leave the repercussions of ignoring him to their imaginations. His gaze lingered on his agent as the shinobi reached into his pocket & handed him an open letter. "You may want to postpone this journey sir. Lord Kuro requires your aid." he would say in a matter of fact tone. The sages eyes slid across the words rage flooded through him. "Damn that fool & his stubbornness!" he snarled as the letter burst into flames in his hands.

That mismatched gaze of his moved to his subordinates lover. "Apologies it seems I have to go save a Sennin & kill a Daimyo." he would say with a slight tone of annoyance. Cracking his neck he looked to Kaza "You know the drill if I don't come back hold an election." before Kaza could respond he would walk around the counter & stop behind the demon. His gaze not moving to the shinobi as he spoke his next words. "Have you ever wondered what a Daimyo tastes like? If so feel free to meet me in Sora." with those words he began walking to the exit before he realized Nagato was still in his office. Raising a hand he would once more press his headset to life.

A crackle of static would cut through the silence of the office & the Sages voice would come through the speakers. "Nagato it seems Lord Kuro has gone on a suicide mission to declare kanly upon the Daimyo. If you could inform Lord Kazuki I am leaving to go retrieve our foolish mutual friend." with those words he vanished in a burst of crows flying out of the door & over his patrons.

-Kaza-
Those forest green eyes moved to the demon as he breathed a sigh of relief. "You shall not get your hands on Akkuma that easily." he would say to it as he snapped his fingers & two hooded figures appeared behind them. "Take our guest here to the dojo & ensure that he doesn't get into any mischief." they nodded silently lifting the man up & departing with him. Facing his love & the thing that inhabited him he spoke once more. "That may very well be the last time we see Akkuma. From what I understand the Daimyo's forces made by unnatural means. A whole army...& he calls Kuro foolish. Who's more foolish the demon who runs to certain death or the man who goes to die with him I wonder." he would say with a sigh the concern he had apparent on his face.

Leaning over he would kiss his love on the cheek "I must go & make preparations in case Lord Akkuma does not return. Stay safe my love...& don't you do anything foolish." he would add not just to his love but the demon who inhabited him. For his Lords invitation had not gone unnoticed by the Agent as he walked hurried off. He had much to do the clan's forces would need to be raised & marched towards Sora. War was upon them the only question was would they be fighting to save the village or avenge the Lord when they arrived.

[Ketsueki Satou]

Sitting in that chair, in that room. Able to smell and to hear. It was quite nice, and the demon cherished these few moments it had of conscious control over Satou's body. He appeared smooth and calm as he talk and his posture was rather slanted while leaning on the counter. The sage had poured a most interesting drink in such a lovely looking glass. The Demon took a moment to hold the glass with Satou's fingers. Looking at the lovely craftsmanship and the particular color. "Reminds you of someplace. Doesn't it Satou?" He would say out loud, uncaring to those who hear. Only knowing Satou can see the onyx glass and think of such a horrible time in his life. The demon could see the dead girl in Satou's arms. In a dark Onyx Palace out in an ocean of sand. His cries in his mind were that much sweeter as it downed the liquid rather quickly, easily. The taste was virile to his pallet, it tingled and sizzled down the throat with a load single gulp. Sitting the empty glass down.

Making note on the sage collecting blood, looking unfazed or rather uninterested or uncaring what the sage did to Maki. He could feel Satou's rage boil as he let the sage fiddle with Maki's body, then have it sent away to some dojo.

The creature sat staring for long moments at where the Sage had put the remaining contents of that drink. The taste of blood tingled on it's tongue for awhile. Satou was so stubborn, it kept to Kaza only, and now it was teased with something tasty. After which the sage was given information that some individual named Kuro was in quite the pickle. The demon grinned when it's proposal was met, but lovely Kaza poked in and asked to interject the jump into Satou's cranium. A soft sigh as it spun the glass on the counter. Watching the Sage get upset and leave with an interesting word. And when Akkuma flapped out of the den. The demon sat pondering. "What does a Daimyo taste like? I like that question." His grin was wide, sickly unnatural for a human to show such glee.

Then Kaza butted in, grabbing hold of him and pulling him close, feeling those of human lips on his skin. His human like skin tingled and tickled. The demon sighed rolling it's burning eyes at Kaza. "Yes my sweet, It'll be some time before myself and your master have a nice chat between two monsters." He kissed Kaza on the forehead. "It won't be the last of him." As Kaza got up to leave, wishing farewell and bid warning not to do something stupid. The demon smiled. "Oh love, I would never." As Kaza went about his work. The demon fled from the den faster then most eyes could catch him.

[Senju Kazuki]

Nagato continuously watched those three talked about something he could not hear over the monitors. He was unwilling to descend and mingle with them because his job demanded a constant watch over Akkuma. At least that was the case for today. Unless ordered to do so again, the Chuunin would never have to do that again, especially if the Miroku Lord was to leave the village. He noticed how the owner of the casino prepared himself to leave. The Uchiha would quickly get up, readying himself to follow his mark, when his headset delivered him a message. "Nagato it seems Lord Kuro has gone on a suicide mission to declare kanly upon the Daimyo. If you could inform Lord Kazuki I am leaving to go retrieve our foolish mutual friend." The blonde shinobi would sigh without activating his headset to reply back. He knew Kazuki would be pissed once he was aware of Kuro was going to do. "Understood."


He would rapidly leave Akkuma's office and he would even quicker, follow the demonic man into the village's gates.
