EJ grinned, pleased with the response he received from the kiss. As Virsat nuzzled against his shoulder, EJ held him tight and just first to the roof, towards the back of the building and jumping down onto a small balcony on the second floor. Holding Virsat with one arm, he opened the door and walked to the bed. He flung the blanket off the bed in such a way that after he laid Virsat in the bed, it drifted down just right, covering him up. EJ bent down and kissed Virsat on the forehead. Sleep now my prince. I will be just over there. He pointed at the door. He planed on sitting in front of it on the floor since there were no chairs in the room. It was actually a real simple room. Other than the bed, there was just a dresser and a side table, as well as a separate bathroom. In the corner by the door a Katana leaned against the wall along with a small leather travel bag, EJ's personal possessions. I will be here if you need me.

"Did I intrude?" she teased looking between the girl behind the counter and the man coming towards her. "I wouldn't mind a fruit salad though and a daiquiri sounds nice" she said thoughtfully watching the young woman's retreating back as she went to the kitchen, before returning her attention to the man at the bar. Flashing him a smile she tapped her fingers on the counter top humming a soft nonsense song.

"Long as you don't use a leash on me" she snapped right back following his wink with one of her own. The thing that came to mind when she thought of a collar and leash was a puppy she saw humans leading around, she tried to picture Yuu-kun doing that to her, leading her around in fox form on a leash and the scene was so ridiculous she couldn't help but giggle at it. Smiling at Mira she headed back to the kitchen to get the customers food ready, it was something simple even she could cook it, it was just fruit that she wanted right now, she would leave Yuu-kun to get the drink for the Fae. Humming softly to herself she chopped up a fruit salad, she wasn't paying much attention to what she was doing and suddenly felt a sharp pain glancing down she saw blood puddling on the cutting board "Ouch" she hissed in pain dropping the knife and grabbing a towel. She had given her finger a pretty good deep cut.

"A daiquiri, that is no problem at all, but may I ask what kind you would like, strawberry, banana, the list goes on." He steps back a little bit from the Fae, starting to head back towards the bar, listening for the response of the flavor she would like. His mind drifts a bit to Kiya, wondering at first where she went, then deciding to look into her heart to try and sense her. About the time that he senses her, he feels a sharp pain through one of his fingers. Glancing down at his hands, he sees the illusion of a deep cut on one of his fingers. "Kiya?! Are you ok sweetheart?! Do you need me to come help you?" Alarm can be heard in his voice as he starts to worry a bit about her, Wait....why am I worried, she only cut her finger.

Mira noted the look of alarm that flashed across the male Kitsune's face. Was something wrong? Her roaming eyes fell on the door to the kitchen where she could see a figure moving just beyond it. Her humming fell off and she looked with concern on the tavern owner, he looked worried did something happen? Resisting the urge to ask him what was wrong seeing that as an invasion of privacy maybe.

Checking her finger she winces as fresh pain makes the finger throb uncomfortably, going over to the sink she washes it out hissing softly with pain as it stings fresh once cleaned the cut didn't look so bad, but once she shut off the water fresh blood started to well up dripping down into the sink. Sighing softly she flipped the water back on and held her finger under it ignoring the pain the water brought on. "I'm alright Yuu-kun a cut is just a cut I won't die from it. Stay with the customer and tell her it will be a bit longer before her food is ready" she assured him finding the first aid kit to clean and bandage the cut

Nodding his head, Yuuichi turns around and walks back to the table Mira is sitting at. "There is a first aid kit under the sink." He looks at Mira and smiles, acting like nothing had happened. "Please forgive me miss, but your food will be delayed slightly. My fool of an apprentice seemed to injure herself. By the way, what flavor of daiquiri was it you wished for?" He looks over his shoulder a couple times towards the kitchen, but stays at the table, awaiting Mira's response.

[[dont know where anyone is sooo ill just walk in >.>]]


// Desmond Graves <<


As he walked down the path to the Tavern, Desmond Graves' boots made heavy thuds against the ground. Of course he would be late today, seriously he should just ask Yuuichi is he can just stay at the Tavern so he'd be ontime. He keeps fearing for the day Yuuichi gets tired of his tardiness and gives him his walking papers. Luckily the man mad delicious drinks and had a wide knowledge of different types, which was very useful when it came to such a vast customer range that the Tavern received. Opening the door he walked in and gave a head nod to his boss who was over by a table by the bar. After hanging up his jacket he walked over behind the bar. "Want me to take care of that daiquiri for you, BossMan?" He chimed in, slightly overhearing there conversation.

Glaring a bit out of the corner of his eye at Desmond, Yuuichi nods his head in agreement. He bows to Mira and smiles softly. "Now that the bartender has finally arrived, he will take care of your drink, please forgive me for this being so troublesome." Turning on his heel, Yuuichi starts heading towards his room to think. As he walks by the bar, he stops, pulling a key off his key ring and throws it at Desmond's face. "Next time, if you feel that something will prevent you from being here, use that room. Got it?" Yuuichi grabs a bottle of vodka from the bar and heads off into the back, going into his room.

Reaching up just in time to catch the keys Desmond sighed, he knew he was going to get in trouble. "Got it.." he said quietly and tucked the keys into his pocket. Eyeing the bottle of vodka in the kitsune's hand he frowned, that was the good Vodka too. Shrugging it off he turned his attention to the Dark Fairy and smiled. "So, what flavor did you desire, Madame?" He asked in a charming voice and he filled a cup with ice to prepare her drink.

"Strawberry is just fine if you don't mind" she said after a moments thought, in all actuality she didn't know how many different types of daiquiri there were and felt safe asking for one she knew she liked. Noting the slight interaction between the new man who had come in, obviously the bartender, and the man who owned the tavern. Huh I thought the bartender was the tavern owner guess I was wrong.

"Don't worry I already found it" she told him already wrapping up the gauze to put it away, the cut hurt a little but it wasn't to bad putting the kit away she cleaned up the mess she had made on the cutting board, smears of blood, setting the knife in the sink she grabbed a clean one and finished cutting up the fruit actually paying attention to what she was doing now, she didn't want to hurt herself again. The fruit was a nice little mix, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, honeydew, apple, pineapple, and peaches eating a few pieces as she was cutting them up. Taking the bowl to the Fae Kiya was surprised to see this new guy versus Yuu-kun. "Hello" she said uneasily a small uncertain smile coming to her lips

(OOC I saw the last Harry Potter movie last night ^_^ it was awesome)

Desmond nodded with a thousand dollar smile on his face. "Coming right up." Reaching under the bar to get the neccesary mixes for her drink he glanced back at his Bosses room. Usually the man was pretty chipper but today he seemed a little off, or at least it seemed that way to Desmond. Deciding not to think on it too much he turned back to the drink in front of him and began to mix the drink for the lady. After getting it just right he walked over to her table and placed it infront of her, taking a seat on the chair beside her. "So what brings you to the tavern today, My lady?" he inquired.

[[i want to see it sooo bad D:]]

Folding her wings neatly behind her Mira returned his smile with one of her own, the food the female kitsune brought was very welcome and her stomach gave another loud growl. Mira took the time to thank the girl who stood there a little confused and obviously uncomfortable feeling a trace of pity she invited the girl to sit with them. Once the girl was seated she then turned her attention to the bartender thanking him as well for the drink. "Well I've just come from a fairy village not to far from here, maybe twelve or so miles I've been on lets say a mini journey visiting the fairy villages and meeting new people"

Feeling grateful for the kind fairies invitation Kiya took a seat opposite the man beside the Fae not really saying much just listening happy she was even included in the conversation. [i]I wonder what's wrong with Yuu-kun he doesn't seem all that happy[/b] trying to shrug off the unease she felt Kiya returned her attention to the conversation that had gone on without her. Not that she had helped much in starting it so it didn't really matter.

Walking into his room, Yuuichi pulls off the sheet he had thrown over his armor when Kiya came to his room. "Already that time again....Forgive me." He sighs as he sits down on the edge of his bed, staring at the armor as he starts drinking the vodka. His eyes darting back and forth from the pair of swords to the armor, his mind starting to fill with images of the night he lost his pup. Inside of his room, everything starts to slowly fade out, being replaced by snow and trees. Watching the vision start to take over, Yuuichi takes a long pull from the bottle of vodka, knowing what is to come. As the illusion becomes full, Yuuichi watches as his former lover gave birth to their pup, seeing the excited expression on his face and hers, knowing it won't last. He watches as the elders of his clan step forth to look at the newborn, their faces kind at first, but turning to disgust as they see a marking on the newborn's stomach. The marking looking like a small nautical star. As he sits there watching, tears start trickling down Yuuichi's cheeks, knowing there is nothing he could do. He watches as three elders step forth, all holding sacrificial daggers. He takes another long pull from the bottle, knowing he is surely going to be drunk by now, since the pain of the vision is starting to fade. He watches as the first of the three takes the newborn pup in his arms and slits its throat, cringing in pain at the sight. The second elder steps towards Yuuichi's former lover and slits her throat, another flash of pain shoots through his mind. Staring drunkenly at the image of his former self, Yuuichi watches as they tried to do the same to him, watching the fire in his eyes as his rage hit a point he hopes never to repeat. Just as he had done back then, Yuuichi starts to scream in anguish as well. "Noo!!!" He starts to shake violently on the bed, dropping the bottle of vodka, over half of the new bottle gone. He lies on the be, shivering as he watches himself slaughter half of his clan for what they had done, still questioning if he was right for it, if he should have instead died that day.

Desmond smiled as he admired the girls wings before she tucked them away, though he was human he was always fascinated by the other races that wandered in here now and again. Glancing up at Kiya he smiled at her, he had seen her a few times since he started working here, but she was usually busy cooking while he made drinks. "Well that must be exciting for you, I havent met many Faes that pass through here, well not while i was around anyway." The man motioned over to the bar while looking at the female kitsune as if to ask if she wanted anything to drink. Suddenly a scream is heard from the male kitsunes room and the man freezes, his eyes darting to the door. "Yuuichi.." He said with in a breath and got up, heading to the door and knocking on it. "Yuuichi!, Yuuichi!!" Opening the door he walked in to see his boss shaking on the bed. "God dammit!" He says worriedly and runs over to the man, kneeling at the bedside. He hears a noise coming from the floor only to see the half empty bottle of vodka rolling on the floor, leaking alcohol as it moved.

Kiya shook her head no she didn't want anything, the feeling of unease that sat in the pit of her stomach was slowly growing into fear it felt like something was wrong. But she didn't have any idea what the look on her face echoed the fear she felt that confused her. Nothing seemed wrong everything was normal aside from Yuu-kun going off on his own without a word. Filled by an overwhelming desire to check on him she reached for him with her mind his mind felt cloudy not at all like it usually did. The prevailing feeling she got from him was pain, pain and anger. "Yuu-kun!?" she thought trying to reach him.
Suddenly she heard a scream coming from Yuu-kun's room, the man headed towards it and she followed closely on his heels, there she was treated to a sight she hoped never to see again. Yuuichi was laying on the bed shaking a look of pained vanquish on his face running up to kneel at the side of the man who looked equally as worried. "Yuu-kun"

Mira was in the middle of eating the fruit brought to her when a scream ripped through the air, before it had really ended both the Kitsune and the human were down the hall heading towards the tavern owners room where the scream had originated. Unsure of it she should follow, really how could she help? Mira fluttered after them hovering in the hallway just beyond the door watching as the human and Kitsune knelt at the side of the man shaking on the bed

Yuuichi opens his eyes slowly, glossed with the amount of alcohol he has consumed and the distant memory he was watching. He struggles to force himself back to reality, watching as the fires, trees, blood, and falling snow slowly dissipates to be replaced with the items of his room. As the walls start to shimmer back into his view, Yuuichi notices what seems to be shapes around him forming as well. "I couldn't.....I couldn't save them....I'm a disgrace." He tries to focus, and make the shapes take forms he might recognize. "He never even had a chance to see his first dawn.....How could he ever forgive me for being so weak." He hears the bottle rolling and quickly reaches down grabbing it. He puts the bottle up to his lips and takes one last pull from it before flipping the bottle over in his hand, holding it by the neck and throwing it at the armor and swords in the corner. "Weak! Pathetic! I couldn't even save him, what right do I have to live!"

His eyes finally regaining focus, Yuuichi looks at Kiya, starting to recognize her from her voice. "Today.....is the anniversary....." He starts to sit up, his eyes still glazed from alcohol, but starting to recognize things around him. "I'm sorry....The only way I seem capable of dealing with the pain is drinking. I'm sorry for scaring you guys, that wasn't my intention." He lowers his head in defeat, the pain running through his body and mind sobering him up just as quickly as he had been drinking.

Desmond had backed away to let Kiya got to the kitsune's aid. He had no idea what Yuuichi was talking about, and was still confused as to what was going on. As the glass shattered the man jumped and sighed looking at the broken glass all over the floor. "Shit.." he mumbled and went into the kitchen to get the mop and broom.

A small smile coming to his face from Kiya's hand, Yuuichi lays back on the bed trying to relax himself a little. "Sorry about that....by the way, how bad did I damage it this time....or is it the usual unscathed, not even a drop of liquid on it?" He glances at Kiya and nods his head towards his leather armor, sure that even though the bottle appear to have shattered on it, it didn't. The small shield of magic surrounding it, keeping it from being touched.

Rummaging through a closet in the kitchen Desmond found the broom but no mop. He sighed and grabbed the dustpan and headed back to the room. Sweeping up some of the glass in made light tinkling noises as it was moved across the floor and into the pan. The smell of the alcohol was strong and made the man's nose twitch.

"As I figured.....I will never understand it, but something about that equipment....It never gets even the smallest of scratches, no matter what I throw at it." Yuuichi sighs as he pulls Kiya down to lay beside him. "A little rest would probably do me some good, but I have no time for it right now." He smiles as he looks over at Kiya, giving her a soft peck on the cheek. "By the way Desmond, I'm sorry you had to see all of this. I told you when I hired you though, expect strange things, right?" He smirks a bit as he starts laughing.
