Returning With Wings....[Tomo;open][Finished]

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi Had become rather used to transporting himself by the use of herethere. He'd never really been able to grasp the concept until recently. Arashi found himself outside of Tomo's layer with a strange feeling of being home. He looked up at the massive doors and thought about all he'd learned in the weeks sense last he'd spoke to Tomo. After waking up in the village he'd done a bit of soul searching...and learned quite a few new concepts. He could now grasp the basic component's of chaos magic, though mostly through the guidance of his sprite. He'd figured a few ways to manipulate people as well. It was quite an experience to discover ones self in a dream. It was something else entirely to discover the nature you've had dwelling inside you for years.

Arashi smiled and breathed in the magical air of his realm of birth. He was sure his wings would be admired by the king. He looked at his haze shroud and wondered if you could actually discern them at all. The shroud seemed to be opaque even though it was still only a light haze. Arashi had noticed it becoming thicker the more he learned to use his abilities. The sprite had given him alot of information about celestial beings. It was a strange being, apparently given into boredom and decided Arashi was a form of constant entertainment.

Arashi stepped to the door and knocked, wondering who would come to answer. He was still a welcomed guest in Tomo's home..at least he hoped so. He sat with his back to the wall and waited, sweeping his hands through the mist that was his new formed wings and grinning. It had only been a month ago that he'd believed himself a troubled human. It was nice to get the gist of ones true self so soon.
Arashi sighed
"Think they'll let me in quickly?"

The sprite snickered
"Like you'd be important enough to require immediate admission into the castle of Tomo...what a fool"

Ranmyaku's condescending words annoyed Arashi..but not enough to cause any response.
"Whatever Ran-Ran"

The sprite growled at the childish nickname and fell silent, awaiting an answer to the knock.

[Avalon Carrister]

Avalon was very upset. With the peace treaty in place between Heaven and Hell, Tomoyo had dismissed the guards of their duties to the castle for today.

When he had asked her about it being a rash decision--humbly--Tomoyo had responded that it had only been "one day" and "nothing was going to happen". One day deal or not, Avalon felt uncomfortable. He was one of the Oldest Balseraphs alive, having followed Tomoyo when she was cast out of Heaven, but still...the villagers couldn't handle themselves as well as he could.

It was then that he heard a rap on the large, oaken english gates that served as an entrance to Tomoyo's castle. Avalon jumped, not expecting to hear such a sound. It bounced off of the stones that formed the castle's shape, Avalon having to hear the sound maybe even twenty times over. Tomoyo's castle was never truly empty--except now, it was. He wasn't used to such things; Tomoyo usually had a fuck buddy or--perhaps even servicing Avalon himself...

But such days were gone. The Yami-ou was married now, and to Avalon's surprise she was actually keeping her oath of fidelity to her husband--not that he would ever doubt his Mistress, but...she had previously engaged in acts that even Avalon found disturbingly accessive, like the boy that Tomoyo had brought home before.

He had made his way to the door while thinking, and when he opened it he almost shut it again.

Of course, it would be the boy again.

However, Avalon did not show such feelings on his face. He bowed deeply, as he had been bade to do for any visitor, and he said, "At the moment, Lady Tomoyo is--"

Symphony appeared, cutting him off. She materialized from the ground, her form extending up until she was standing, taller than Avalon, and she bowed at the visitor though not as deeply.

"The Mistress sensed your presence and ordered me to retrieve you." Symphony's platonic tone always gave Avalon chills, even after working with her for a few millennia. "I am to take you to her. Please follow me." Symphony turned, her hidden eyes somehow knowing exactly where he was and staring him down. "The Mistress thanks you for answering the door while she is busy..."

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi smiled seeing Avalon's expression, taking the initiative to place a foot in the door. Arashi's grin was now near always genuine, malicious, but real. He tilted his head as the servant attempted to turn him away, then allowed snicker when symphony took over the conversation. Taking it upon himself to step near Avalon before fully entering he said quietly.

"good after noon puppet"

He stepped past him and nearer to symphony with a brisk and graceful stride. His body partially shrouded in the black haze of his immature wings. He turned back to Avalon with a slight curiosity in his ability and frowned in sarcastic pity.

"Do you wish I was no longer in your sight?"

He pondered what the servant would say as he stood turned slightly toward Symphony with a condescending smile spread across his lips. The deep blackness of his eyes glisten with unseen chaos. In his estimation, the servant was likely to mistakenly answer the wish... no one was aware of what he was as of yet.

[Sanada Tomo]

Symphony heard the visitor say something to Avalon, but Symphony was not going to have her Mistress yelling at her for her timing.

Bringing a strong hand to grip Arashi's shoulder, she pulled him along, leading him through the halls of the castle. They were surrounded by walls of stone and door made of wood, and even the castle ground was made of stone, glossed over by some Mortal substance that only Tomoyo could name.

"You will excuse her," Symphony said, her monotonic voice not conveying any emotion, "but The Lady Tomoyo is taking a bath. She still requests your presence nonetheless--she says that your company is something that she has missed of sorts."

Making an abrupt stop at one of the many wooden doors, Symphony opened it, and a mountain of steam blew into the corridor. The opened door revealed a pristine bathroom, covered from ceiling to floor with shining white tiles. Symphony stepped in without waiting for Arashi, the steam hiding everything from view. The large room contained a large shower that filled almost a third of the door. The tub, which Symphony knew to be in the back, was a bit smaller. Symphony walked with purpose to the tub, stopping a few feet away from it.

She conjured a chair of black velvet from the ground beside her, the form materializing from the ground just as she had come up from the floor to retrieve Arashi.

"I present to you my Mistress, Arashi the visitor," she said, and she disappeared in dark mist, the cloud contrasting horribly with the white of the room.

Tomoyo did not speak a thanks since Symphony had disappeared, peering above the foot of bubbles that covered her body in the water to look and see if Arashi had bothered to follow her servant.

Her dark hair had been plastered to her eyes by the water, and she swooped the knee length hair back behind her, waiting for Arashi's greeting.

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi had been allowing his mind time to ponder things as of late, one of them was whether or not it was safe to walk into this type of situation. He leaned his back against the doorway, he faced out toward the hall as he breathed in the warm air. He raised one foot to rest on the wall behind him and folded his arms, the long black cloak the ninja woman had given him trailing on the floor. He sighed as his dark gray wings lazed about with the steam fro the bath. He watched interested in the designs his wings made. He smiled thinking of all he had attained in his growth spurt as of late.

Then, before speaking his mind raced over the possibility of having that servant lose his sight. Arashi smiled, a warped smile that he was so fond of now in the thought of blinding the old butler. He turned his head lightly and caught a glimpse of the mostly submerged Tomoyo as she peaked out from the bath. He knew that the properties of his voice had changed as of late do to his use of his race skill to manipulate. The sprite had told him to be careful. So as to not cause any misconceptions with his celestial host he washed free the magic in his voice the best he could.

"Hello my liege. I hope I'm not intruding, returning here so suddenly as I have. I was off...off learning a bit about myself. Soul searching if you will."

He let his head hang as he awaited her response. Ranmyaku chuckled and approved his word choice.

"you'll have to watch this old king...she can tell when you lie. So just keep doing what you've been doing. No need to let go the whole truth."

[Ongaku Migoto]

Walking down the one of the many halls within the Yami-ou's with his guitar in hand, Migoto passed by Avalon, who looked preturbed. Avalon typically had this look when a guests, particularly male guests were in the castle. Taking the initiative, Migoto ran through the castle, placing a hand on the walls to pick up the subtle sound vibrations that could come from people in the castle, Migoto listened for voices he didn't recognize. Soon Migoto heard a voice, "Sterile, monotone, and female, must be Symphony." Migoto said as he continued to listen. Then he heard an unfamiliar voice, "Young, male, sorta wimpy, better check this out." Migoto said running in the direction of the Yami-ou's bathroom.

Upon arriving Migoto found the cloaked boy, Symphony and a naked Yami-ou in a steam filled room, the Yami-ou's raven hair clinging to her prestine body. "Sheesh, didn't know it was that type of party, oh well..." Migoto said as he entered the room unannounced, taking of his clothes as he entered the room. Leaving a plie of clothes in the path behind him, Migoto now had on nothing except pearl white silk boxers with musical notes all over them, as he sat down at the edge of the tub, he frail yet toned frame leaning against the wall. "Ren's a lucky bastard I'll give him that." Migoto said smiling and winking at he Yami-ou. "So, who's the kid Tomo-mama, and isn't he kinda overdressed for a bathroom?" Migoto said laughing.

Still holding his guitar, Migoto ran his fingers across the strings, "Well I wrote a song with you in mind Yami-mami, I'll play for you and the kid, I'm Migoto by the way." Migoto said to the young man as he began to play.

[Sanada Tomo]

"I remember our last conversation," Tomoyo said, smiling at Arashi at first. But as the boy approached the Yami-ou noticed that there was something...different about him. When he made a comment about soul searching, there was still something in his voice that implied more than just finding himself. Had he been stealing souls? Talking to them, learning from them? Had he gone to the Spirit Realm?

And his aura was different as well--the wings were the most noticable in terms of manifestation of that. But when she concentrated, staring at him so that she could see clearly what type of creature she was...his aura was...strange...almost like a--

"Sheesh, didn't know it was that type of party, oh well..." the musician Migoto entered suddenly, disturbing Tomoyo's concentration. However, she allowed herself to smile still at his appearance. She would deal with Arashi later.

When the Djinn was finished stripping, he had on nothing but boxers embroidered with the pattern of musical notes on them--what Tomoyo had expected, honestly and he added, "Ren's a lucky bastard I'll give him that." Migoto said. He winked at her, and Tomoyo forced a blush to her cheeks for his benefit.

"So, who's the kid Tomo-mama, and isn't he kinda overdressed for a bathroom?" Migoto said while laughing. "Well I wrote a song with you in mind Yami-mami, I'll play for you and the kid, I'm Migoto by the way."

Tomoyo allowed her smile to reach her eyes. "Thank you, Migoto." Knowing his playful nature, she added. "You know, I wouldn't mind if you stepped in...the tub's large enough to accomodate four people..." Of course, she was only as serious as Migoto would want it to be. However, she did wonder how he would take the comment.

Glancing back at Arashi, he seemed more...serious now. Less confused, as though he had found something to guide him. Of course, her mind shortly flashed back to the prophecy that had been given to Arashi at the Karrasi...

She shook her head slightly, allowing herself to sink into Migoto's superb music.

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Tomoyo's gaze found him and he looked up as she spoke to him before someone came through the door behind him. Arashi was taken by surprise as the stranger burst into the room and stripped shamelessly as he made his way to the bath. Arashi found himself feeling searched by Tomoyo's eyes before the man came interrupting the conversation. He felt relieved a bit. Arashi frowned when his dress was called into question. He was all the more insulted to be refereed to as if he wasn't there. He turned to face the man and introduce himself but was taken by the sudden song.

He felt a Tomoyo's gaze again but was sure if she'd said nothing about his change by now there was nothing obviously noticeable about him. He wondered if his wings blended with the steam more then he thought. He stepped closer deciding he may as well relax and removed his cloak. He let the black cloth hit the floor and found himself relaxed by the notes Migoto played. He sat in the velvet chair that was summoned earlier and was very comfortable.

He leaned forward a bit and spoke to Tomoyo lightly, not wanting to speak over the soothing melody playing.

"Though my time away was short, I'm sure you've had something interesting happen you could tell me about..."

He spoke in obvious curiosity, not even attempting to mask his interest in hell's goings on. He even let slip a syllable or two before remembering to drain the alluring spell of his voice away.
He rested his elbows on his legs, and his chin on his hands.

[Ongaku Migoto]

Listening to the young man speak as he played, Migoto finished his song and smiled at his audience of two, "I am the light of your lives." Migoto said, cradling his guitar. "Well if Ren won't mind, I think I'll have no problem scrubbing your back beautiful." Migoto said as jumped in the tub along side the Yami-ou, standing covered in bubbles as he moved over to Tomo, grabbing the lavender luffa the floated on the water, commencing to gently scrub her back. "So, where ya from?" Migoto asked the young man, his blond hair partially wet with bubbles on top of his blue skin.

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi smiled at the level of...respect being payed to the absent husband of Tomoyo. It was almost as if he actually cared of Ren's thoughts. Arashi laughed and leaned back in the chair, seeing that Tomoyo may not answer quickly he answered the stranger first.

"Well, Migoto, was it? I'm from nowhere in particular. I'm here, as I think I should be at the moment. That should be enough. Are you so fresh that you can touch another man's wife so easily...and with respect to him in the same course of action no less. I see there is still much to learn of culture outside of Japan."

He smiled, his curiosity was never cold. As young as he was in a world of ancient beings he felt he was far behind. The petty souls he'd collected in the mortal realm never gave him much knowledge past a century back. He'd come to accept he'd need the souls of the celestial. That is..if he planned to become anything but a pet.

I know what your thinking arashi and it's useless. Your not good enough to get a celestial soul. Just wait it out..learn more. You have time

Silence Ranmyaku, I'm only thinking, you don't have to speak every time I have a thought.

Well excuse me for being bored in your little head! I could use some fresh air sometimes you ass

Arashi had to force himself not to laugh at the childishness that was coming from the millenia old sprite.

[Sanada Tomo]

Tomoyo moved to the side, sitting herself upright so that her back was facing Migoto, who had unceremoniously hopped into her own bath. The water splashed just slightly as she moved, the water settling right above her shoulder and keeping the rest of her body from view.

She smiled, sinking into the relaxed feeling of having her back washed as she said in a happy tone.

"Ah, Arashi...you had something to say? Something to tell me, perhaps, of your wanderings?" she was distracting him purposefully from the topic of her husband, who had nothing to do with the matter at hand...much.

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi let a frown play on his lips at her question. He was sure she had heard his actual question, which meant she wanted the subject change..or she didn't see it fit to give him an answer.
Arashi shook free his contempt and sat back folding his arms, he was still not used to the feeling of having wings. The way it felt to have a black haze around you at all times was interesting and he couldn't help but play with them. He let his wings spread into the steam and wisp about as he relished the feeling.

"So I take it my travels are of interest then? There isn't much to tell. I was simply a quick skip around the mortal realm. I found out a few new details about my past, and I've learned a great deal in magical concept. I've found my guiding darkness of sorts as well"

He heard Ranmyaku grunt in disapproval.

I am not darkness Arashi. I am chaos. And she doesn't need to know all that

Arashi closed his eyes for a moment and turned his head to the side slightly. Although he had no real reason to hide anything from Tomoyo he felt it was foolish to give out information without purpose for doing so.

[Yamazaki Ren]

"The same thought had crossed my mind, actually..." Ren drawled, leaning against the bathroom door, having picked up on the convorsation that Tomo had neatly tried to drop by changing the subject.

He couldn't actually say that he was surprised or all that mad to begin with though. Simply curious, he'd spent most of the morning working on the reconstruction of the Kataki-kai to return to the Seventh and find...alien presences in the vicinity of his wife. Given Tomo's nature it wasn't uncommon, just this....

Well...It was reaching new heights to say the least....

"Though I'd very much like to hear about your travels as well, Arashi-kun, Tomo's mentioned you a few times, you seem to hold a particular interest to her."

[Ongaku Migoto]

"Hey Ren, didn't see ya there!" Migoto said, waving a sud ridden luffa in the air as he acknowledged Ren. "Come on in and join the party, here you can take my spot if ya want, Tomo's back is kinda nice." Migoto said, smiling innocently, unaware of the precociousness of his actions.

[Sanada Tomo]

Tomoyo was more surprised to see Ren in castle, let alone in her bathroom than to for him to discover her in such a scene.

However, all Ren did when he entered was extend the question into Migoto's character and also inquire as to Arashi's whereabouts.

So that she wouldn't come off as apathetic towards her husband's boundaries on her person, she at least had the grace to be embarrassed at being caught in this sort of seen, and she allowed yet another blush to grace her pale features. There was a part of her, however, that wanted to see his reaction to Migoto's breaching of her personal space. Knowing that he had recently become apathetic made her want to see whether or not Migoto would be able to get a rise out of him. He seemed to have a knack to getting into the cog in people's mind, and she was curious as to what else he would say to Ren.

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi sunk into the chair as Ren appeared. Having never seen the husband of Tomoyo, nor heard much about him, he was expecting...more. He wasn't so surprised however, seeing as the king of hell was a female. he wasn't so surprised to see his apathetic take on the things happening in his wife's bathroom. Arashi was wondering what he may have done had he walked in on two men and his naked wife. It was interesting that all he did was relaxingly lean on the wall Arashi himself was on before.

"It's an honor to be intriguing to you. I wasn't under the impression I was so interesting to be spoken on"

He let free a small smile even though it was unseen by Ren. It was very curious indeed.

It's dangerous to be so popular as a weakling. No one fears you, and those who take interest can monitor and attempt to control you growth. Be weary of these characters Arashi. That man is the King of heavens sixth layer. He isn't so weak as to be taken lightly.

Where do you get this information Ranmyaku? How can this womans husband be of heaven? Have you forgotten we're in hell?

I'm not a child as you are Arashi. I've been here for a long time. And this information is correct.

He then thought of how interesting it would be to perhaps cause a bit of turmoil.

"Ren..is it so common a sight to see your wife naked with strange men that you say nothing when there are two with her, one even caught in the act of caressing her, as she bathes?"

[exodus]

Exodus's super sensitive hearing locked on to a conversation of which there were four participants, much more than there usually were in the castle recently; Tomo had settled down from her old ways over the years, and these days Exodus had even heard word of the bitch being married, although if such a rumor were true the vampyre had never seen anyone of that sort of role in the castle.

Tracking his way through the corridor or identical doors that Tomo kept to confuse invaders, he found one open, stream streaming from the open crevice and into the air of the hallway, disapating after it hit the high ceiling. Inside, he saw a group of Fallen, one of which was undressed and in the tub with what Exodus could tell was a naked Tomo getting her back washed. There was another Fallen who was sitting in a chair, his clothes stripped but with shorts or boxers on underneath, and yet another Fallen at the door with golden hair and eyes who was still fully clothed.

Exodus didn't know what to make of this at all. Tomo had a blush on her face, the Fallen with her in the tub had a goofy grin, the one in the chair looked a bit more serious, and the one at the door looked slightly amused. Even for Tomo, this was a strange group of Fallen for a harem of hers. He had to say that after all of his years in her castle...even this creeped him out. He had never seen Tomo in a romantic room setting with more than one being at once--with some awkward scenes between himself, Tomo and Avalon as an exception; Avalon wandered the castle far too often--and her taking on three at once was a jump even for her.

Exodus took a quiet step back, not caring whether or not he had been noticed by those in the room. The best he could hope for at this point was to not be called into whatever sick, twisted game that they were playing with each other and escape with his body fully intact.

He took a few more steps back--slowly...

[Yamazaki Ren]

Ren did nothing but raise an eyebrow toward both of the other angels. Towards the blue ones greeting and toward Arashi's question at first.

"I wouldn't say that I'm saying 'nothing' about it. Doing nothing at the moment, yes, because there is a high possibility that if I do anything things might go...awry. I will ask, however, that in the future, Tomo keeps the bathroom door locked in times such as these. Before half the Realm decides to join her."

Just because he wasn't flying off the handle like his sister might have in a similar situation, didn't mean that he was exactly pleased. He hoped that his glare directed straight into his spouse's eyes would convey that better than electrocuting the both of them would.

[Mishiranu Arashi]

Arashi laughed and stood, rubbing the creases from his pants. He looked at the golden eyed man and retrieved his cloak and his boots. He put his cloak back on over his bare chest and smirked.

"I guess a man of action is to much to expect from you then. It seems you have much faith in your wife. How lovely. I respect that, I truelly do."

Arashi sat in the chair to put his socks and boots back on. He was relatively tired from his travels and was going to head towards the room Tomo had so gratiously provided. He rose to leave and winked at the blushing Tomoyo.

"Though I must say. The fact that you invited me into this room...and Migoto into the bath is..well never mind."

He stepped across the bathroom and towards the door.

"Would it be too much to ask to have Symphony guide me to my room? I fear I may get lost."

[Ongaku Migoto]

Migoto laughed casually as Ren and the young man known exchanged glances and verbal jests, "You guys are hilarious. Tomo-mama my hot bod is starting to prune up, so I think I'll go and dry off." Migoto said splashing water on Tomo's back to remove the lather worked up by his scrubbing. Stepping out of the bath, Migoto walked over as grabbed his scattered clothing and guitar, dripping water everywhere as his soaked undergarments clung to his slender frame.

"Lighten up man, your eyes don't denote the all the seriousness, get loose and let the rhythm flow my man." Migoto said as he slapped Ren's shoulder with his wet hands before walking off, out of the bathroom still wet and undressed, whistling as he went.
