((still in the bathhouse))

Miryoku puffed out her cheeks a bit when she heard the order from her mistress and watched her as she got out of the water. Though as she watched and listened to the door she suddenly saw Kei get thrown out onto the concrete. She suppressed a growl as she watched the two then thought of something. Toshiko told her not to move... she didn't tell her not to use magic. As her mistress was pinned she let out a quiet growl and started to silently mutter a few words to a rather strong spell that she had learned and watched as some water lifted like a serpent and quickly wrapped itself around the males throat then his body and flung him away from her mistress then slammed him into the con create a bit away. She then let her magic work again to get a towel and rap it gently around her mistress and then help her up. "Are you okay mistress?" she asked quietly and hoped that she wasn't mad at her... she didn't see why she would be though and for the fact that she hadn't moved from her spot... she just used her magic to help her.

(well she didn't break her order XD what do you think? and I did spell his name right right?)

Toshiko was taken off guard as well as Kei as Miryoku threw him away and helped her. "Thank you Miryoku, I have things now." she said and drew her massive blade from the air as she kept over the pool, and Kei screamed as she stabbed him in the shoulder. "You bastard." she hissed and turned the blade making him scream more. "I have been easy on you, but from now on, I will not give you mercy!" the enraged mistress snarled, her magic swirrling and her hair was whipping around her like a unholy halo. The magic then attacked him and he writhed and fought desperately. finished, a tattoo and nasty scar were left on his skin. "I curse you. Everytime you look at a woman you will be tortured from inside your unclean body!" she hissed and then grabbed him by the hair, dragging him towards the water muttering. A portal rose of water and with an angry snarrle, and eyes glowing ice blue, the mistress threw him into it, and then the portal closed with a splash. Her sword dissappeared and she fell to her knees shaking.

( O.O;; oh damn... remind me never to get on her bad side XD )

Miryoku was shocked as she watched her mistress then ran to her side as she fell to her knees. "Mistress are you okay?" she asked softly and worriedly hoping that she was though couldn't be sure. She was a bit weak herself from using spells that she hadn't mastered yet but the spells she had just watched her mistress use she could tell were very strong and just hoped that she would be okay after using so much energy.

(okay... so Kei's out for my idea XD )

((hehe yeah that's almost all her lifes hardest that was bottled up kinda let out just a bit on Kei. Just a bit ^^))

Toshiko looked up at Miryoku panting and then nodded. "I will be okay.... After.... Cleaned and a nap." she breathed and then shivered. Being touched by such a man, made her feel so unclean. "Miryoku... Please... Cleanse me..." she whispered, a tear slipping from her dark eye, the horrible discgust in her features was plainly apparent. She felt completely soiled from his groping. Support and kind words to soothe her were something she really needed. Never had man touched her, but now she had been touched. She felt unclean, and very unhappy that he still lived. But death was too merciful.

"Yes of course." Miryoku said softly and kindly before helping her mistress into the springs that she had quickly made heat up just in case there was any hint of that man in there though now it was at it's normal temperature to insure that it did not burn the two. She then carefully and gently cleaned her mistress not even really thinking as she did so. "Don't worry mistress, he won't ever be back... we don't have to worry about him... he'll never do that to you again... no one will I promise." she said in a soothing and kind voice hoping to calm her mistress and make her happy again.

Looking at Miryoku as she washed her body Toshiko nodded slowly. "Thank you, Miryoku." she said softly, and then leaned over to press a kiss to her forehead.

((chance for accedental kiss right here))

(yep yep X3 I can see that)

Miryoku smiled some as she looked up at her mistress about to say something though had accidentally caught her mistress's lips before they moved and had gotten a kiss right on her lips. She blushed brightly though found that she actually liked the feeling... thuogh she was still completely and utterly embarrassed.

SHocked at the feeling of warm soft flesh meeting her lips, Toshiko realized that she was kissing Miryoku. Blushing brightly, which was completely rare for the mistress to do, she found that the feeling wasn't repulsive. It was... Warming. SHe pulled away slowly from Miryoku, shock still over taking her mind as she stared surprised at her servant. She had never thought of Miryoku being so forward with her, but she liked it.

Miryoku's face was a bright blood red when her mistress pulled away and she also had surprise and shock on her face. She hadn't meant to kiss the other woman... that didn't mean that she didn't like it... cuz she did... but it was just kind of odd... Toshiko was her mistress.... not only that... but also the way that her mistress was... but it seemed that she didn't have a negitive reaction.... she looked completely embarrassed and shocked.... she had never seen her mistress' face to red except with rage... but this wasn't rage... and she found that she liked the blush on her mistress' cheeks. She wished that she could think to speak.... maybe to apologize... but she couldn't... she couldn't find her voice at all which seemed to make her turn even more red.

To say that Toshiko was shocked, was an understatement. Her mind was completely blown. In all her life she had never ever liked a male that she came across, except for the ancient butler that lived here since she took over... But never once had she thought of liking girls... The thought to actually share a kiss with someone never had crossed her mind either. It was odd to say the least, but it seemed to be... An okay odd. It was always in her nature to kiss a hand or forehead of her servant if they did well, because when she grew up, her mentor always did that to her, to be more personable, which she tried to do around fuses humans and Miryoku. Trying to get her mind in order to speak clearly she swallowed softly. "Miryoku...." that was the only thing that could come out.

Miryoku was looking down a bit unsure and meek as she soon heard her mistress' though all she said was he name. She looked up at her a bit meekly still not really sure what to do and couldn't tell if she was mad at her for kissing her or not.

Toshiko regained her wits as she blinked a few times and saw the look on Miryoku's face. "Please assist me back into the bath house." she said in her usual mistressy powerfilled voice. Struggling to stand after so much magic use, she didn't want to relie on the hidden third here in the springs that held much magical strength and energy. She refused to do so unless it was a life or death situation. The best thing now as to suck it up, and ignore that none of that every happened. Standing with her head held slightly high, like usual, she hoped that Miryoku was strong enough to still get her back into the bathhouse and threw the estate to her room.

((I think Miyoku should become s bit more aggressive after this to try and get Toshiko, because she is so old and have gone threw many kdd situations that she would ignore it more then figure out what situations and odd times she had been threw after sook many years...))

(what does she mean? They were already in the baths... so does she mean the part that's attached to the baths? )

((Yes, cuz the spring is outside, fenced in area, and the bathhouse it the building attached to it ))

"Yes Mistress of course." Miryoku said softly though felt a little... odd now... worried... had she gotten mad at her for kissing her? Was she mad at her? She sighed a bit as she thought though carefully helped her mistress out of the springs and back to where their robes were before helping her get hers on then getting her own on. As they walked she was trying to help her mistress heal a little though was making sure not to use too much of her energy since she had used quite a bit of it earlier. Soon they were to their room where she gently opened the door and lead her mistress in and over to the bed before closing the door... though she wasn't really sure what to do... they didn't really normally have the day off and she didn't normally do something so... stupid like she had in the springs. She didn't really think it was stupid... though at the same time she kinda did... stupid for her to think that her mistress might feel the same about her.

(mkay is that okay?)

((Yes that's fine))

Sitting on her bed tiredly, Toshiko closed her eyes for a second before snapping her fingers. Her painting esile with the canvas on it flew over and settled on the floor infront of her, as well as all the brushes and painting supplies she needed. She then sighed and looked at Miyoku. "I wish to paint you Miryoku." she said slowly and stood. she walked over to her servant and smiled, running a hand over her hair. "I haven't paitned a being like you in all my years... I want to imortalize you in my art..." she said softly and brushed her blonde servant's cheek. "Lets brush and dry your hair.... And dress you in a gorgeous gown." the elven misteress said with a grin.

Miryoku looked at her mistress surprised and a bit shocked though then blushed a dot and nodded some. "Thank you Mistress... that is very kind of you... but are you sure? Maybe you should rest for a bit first? You've already used quite a bit of energy... I just don't want you to hurt yourself." She said softly and a bit worriedly as she looked at her mistress hoping she would take it easy and rest.

Smiling gently Toshiko nodded and sighed. "I agree, but luckily painting in relaxing and soothing to me." the mistress said and then walked over to the closet for her servant. Pulling out the very formal kimono that she had gotten her for the party with the nobles happening next week. "Please, put this on, and then I want you to lay on the reclining chair... I want you to be your true inner beauty." she said and sat back on the bed again and waited paitently.

Miryoku blushed a little though nodded a bit and took the kimono and slipped into it before going to sit in the chair though was unsure how to sit exactly... she didn't know how Toshiko wanted her to sit or anything but the way she would normally sit was with her leg to her chest, on her legs, or laying on her stomach... but she was in a recliner so she wasn't sure really.

Toshinko smiled as her servant sat down in the beautiful kimono. The practically flat couch, withone side slightly elevated was ment for reclining on. "Go ahead, lay comfortably." she said softly and stood, awaiting for her servant to do as she said. Even though she didn't show it, her eyes had a small gleam in them that revealed her excitedness for painting her precious personal servant on the canvas.

"As you wish Mistress." Miryoku said softly before pulling her legs in a bit so she had her thin, but strong, arms resting lightly around them and smiled a little at her mistress hoping she didn't mind the way she was sitting.

"Can you sit in that position for a good amount of time without needing to move?" Her mistress asked lightly, adn adjusted where her hair was on her and how it laid. Toshiko also pulled the shoulders of the silken kimono down more to give her a bit more of a seductive air. Then stepping away. she nodded and waited for an answer before going to her easile.

Miryoku blushed brightly as her mistress pulled down the corners of her kimono though nodded a bit and smiled at her some. "Yes mistress if that is what you would like me to do or need to paint." she smiled lightly and had gotten so... accustomed to called Toshiko Mistress... it seemed to just roll off her tongue to easily now and she seemed so happy in her situation now.

"Very good Miryoku." Toshiko said softly and then suddenly with swift speed and grace her brush and hands moved together. The picture was being formed with speed and percision, the painting was done within a half hour. By the end, the mistress was tired, but a soft proud smile was on her lips as she signed the piece. "You may come look at it Miryoku." she said lightly. The elven female had made the servant look a bit more seductive in her position, but otherwise she looked like she had a photo taken of her sitting that way. "Tell me what you think." she breathed, looking up at her beloved little Miryoku.
