Three's Company... [Finished]

[Ongaku Migoto]

[Let's wrap this up kinda fast please, I want to establish Migoto back in the castle.]

Stepping out of the portal opened by Migoto's friend in the first layer of Hell, the blue skinned Djinni was accompanied by his young companion as well as the young doctor Yancha as they approached the gates of the Yami-ou's palace. "Home sweet home, come on guys, lets go meet Tomo." Migoto said, holding the ice cream from the mortal realm in his hand.

Walking past the guards of the estate with a friendly gesture, Migoto entered the hallowed halls, casually approaching Tomo's throne room. "Seems like nothings changed while I was gone." Migoto said, taking notice of the usual traffic of people throughout the palace.

"I hope she likes the ice cream we brought her, it was so good." Elizabeth said, walking alongside of Migoto and Yancha.

"She'll love you two and the ice cream." Migoto said as he approached the doors to the throne room. Smiling to himself, Migoto entering the throne room with much enthusiasm, hoping to see Tomo there.

[Sanada Tomo]

[Since you asked so nicely, this will be the first thread that I update for the rest of this week ^^]

Tomoyo was astonished at all the movement that was going on in her stomach. Being pregnant was the most astounding thing to her. She walked around all day, just feeling her tummy and waiting for the baby to kick.

...now that Cielle was home, she didn't really have that much to do. Cielle was a masterful organizers, and she had many of the help and even citizens who did not have busy schedules to come in and do work--most with pay, which they appreciated and...often demanded...

But Tomoyo didn't mind. She was very fair, and most of them just wanted Mortal riches anyway. She was glad to employ them. The downside, of course, was that with her daughter around, there was no work for her to do. Cielle had taken off that morning, muttering about how "Ren was suppose to be helping her..." and so, Tomoyo had taken to walks.

Other than working, all she really did was eat, sleep, and travel...what was she supposed to do now that there was no work to fill that void?

Strolling out of one of the many hallways of her castle, she saw a flash of blue skin around the corner, and she picked up her pace. She had only met one Djinni who was blue-skinned by design, and that was Ongaku, the one with the cute briefs who so kindly washed her back in the shower.

Leaving the hallway, she saw that he guests with him, but she concerned herself with Migoto first.

"Hey! How are you? I haven't seen you in the castle for a while."

The noise of the throne room was irritating her, and with a quick, hormonal snap, she bellowed loudly into the large, echoing room, "YOU'RE ALL TOO LOUD! GET OUT OF MY CASTLE! NOW!"

[Kawairashii Yancha]

Yancha, as any mortal man would, was simply stunned by the structure he'd wandered into. The hellion people were in no way what he thought, and it seemed that Migoto was likely the most bizarre of the lot of them. Yancha saw that most creatures here were rather human in appearance like the women and man he'd treated. Migoto was the only one that was, for some strange reason, blue. The halls were covered in painting he would easily have place in the thousands for purchase. That was if one didn't consider the likelihood that they were older then they looked. Each and every work of art was beautifully preserved on top of being intricate in detail. Yancha was curious as to what form of man would reside here.

Entering the throne room sent him for a spin of sorts. the people were in no way the servants one would expect in this estate. Instead they were loud and festive as if to be in a anarchist jolly. there was no way a king would allow all this right? weren't there rules against smiles that wide while in the home of a king? Yancha simply gawked at everything going on and seemed to be taking everything in stride. He wasn't so sure what to really think of hell. It was all one surprise after another here, and it seemed there was no law, no rules in place. It was structured anarchy, and it really seemed like a fun bit of chaos. That was when she walked up, the woman from the other day. The pregnant superpower that waltzed into his house.

"Are you fucken kidding me? You weren't a complete nut?"

He couldn't help himself but say it. He wasn't thinking he'd ever see her again. He was definitely not expecting her to be the actual king of hell. He basically jumped to the conclusion that she was since she had roared about her castle and he met her here. He couldn't believe he'd actually been complimented by the king of hell for that matter. It was as if his skill was far greater then he'd imagined. Then his mind swirled into all types of thoughts. Like trying to figure out who put a penis in the king of hell???

"I can't even imagine who managed to knock you up and have you happy about it... some guy can truly lay some pipe I take it. Think I can borrow him for a night or three?

[Sanada Tomo]

It was in the instant that he spoke the first time that Tomoyo recognized him. "Yancha-sensei!" she said in happy tones. "Wow. You journeyed all the way here? With Migoto as your guide, I take it?"

Tomoyo bowed slightly as the startled visitors in the castle began to leave, knowing that their King was conducting a bit of business and did not want to be disturbed. The throngs filed out, disappointment on their faces. She was very upset to see her people that way, but having Migoto and Yancha in her castle, she was very adamant about giving them the best accomodations, which included some peace and quiet.

"No, I was not kidding in the least. And while I may be...ah, what is the phrase you Humans use...off my rocker a little bit, I tried to assure you that I was not lying about my position in Hell." She smiled. "It's good to see you again, doctor. And you, Yancha."

Tomoyo's eyes lit up as they settled on the little girl. "Oh my. Who is this precious jewel?" she said in a soothing, cooing voice."

To clear things up for Migoto, who may have been confused about her greeting, she added, looking up at the blue-skinned Djinni, "I went to see Yancha-sensei for a checkup concerning my pregnancy..." Turning back to Yancha, after hearing his comments about her husband, she frowned distinctively.

"I'm happy about the baby. The man who gave me this child...not so much. You may take him, if you wish, for now--he is annoying me with his idle prattle about his family and his neglect of me in general. My daughter has returned from your Realm just to take care of me because my husband doesn't seem to be interested in doing so."

Changing her expression to one of mischeviousness, she rose from her kneeling position--with some slight difficulty--from in front of the small girl to whisper inaudibly in Yancha's ear, "Honestly, I've had a little better. I can point you in the right direction if need be..."

It was not something that she would normall say about her husband at all, but she was angry and a little bitter and resentful of his behaviour, not to mention that her emotions had been in the extremes lately.

Kneeling down to the little girl once again, she asked the gentlemen accompanying her, "Have you given this girl good treatment during her journey? I don't expect male brutes like yourselves to understand what pretty princesses like us need anyway..." She smiled sweetly at the child. "If she doesn't mind coming with me, I do believe that I have some clothes to give her. I shall make her look like the royalty that she truly is..."

Tomoyo loved children. And she was so cute.

[Ongaku Migoto]

Sticking his fingers in his ears Migoto sighed at Tomo's loud outburst, "Sheesh I thought i was loud..." Migoto murmured to himself before walking up to Tomo. "Heya gorgeous, sorry I haven't been around to brighten things up, but hopefully my guests make up for my absence." Migoto said with a nervous smile on his face.

Migoto watched as Tomo greeted the two new human visitors, especially happy to see that she took so well to Elizabeth, an made Yancha fell less awkward with more conversation, vilifying her words of being the king of Hell. "Tomo this is Elizabeth, you already know Yancha I take then. Oh yeah here's some ice cream we brought back from Ben & Jerry's." Migoto said walking over to hug Tomo and hand her the ice cream as well. Looking at Elizabeth and noticing her bashfulness, Migoto smiled, "Say hello sweetie, Tomo-mama is really nice." Migoto said nudging the young girl forward.

Smiling, Elizabeth looked at Tomo in awe, "Hello I'm Elizabeth, nice to meet you." she said in a meek tone. "Can I go with her Tony?" Elizabeth asked nicely.



"Sure babe, she'll make you like as nice as her. So, what have I missed around here Tomo-mama-sama. You'll tall me when you get back right?" Migoto said, taking off his jacket and sitting down near the throne, beginning to fiddle with his guitar as Tomo was about to take Elizabeth away for proper dress.

[Sanada Tomo]

Tomoyo was really glad that Migoto was back. He was indeed right; he brightened up the place, and honestly, she had been wondering where he had been. She held her stomach protectively now,

The girl seemed to be important to Migoto, and Tomoyo supposed that he was one of those Fallen that had connections in the Mortal Realm.

At the mention of ice cream, Tomoyo had almost cried. More than a few days ago, she had asked her own husband for some ice cream and his lazy nature had led to him burning hers with his inadequacy in summoning magics; not that it would have taken any real energy to go to the Mortal Realm and just pick up some ice cream from a Mortal store...happy that she could finally have what she really wanted, she almost skipped up to her throne, made of stone and offset with Mortal jewels in several grooves in the design of the chair. After seating herself, she summoned a small ball of black darkness, shaping it with a bit of will into the shape of a tablespoon as she ripped open the ice cream container with her hands.

Elizabeth told her hello, and she paused before taking the first bite of the ice cream to return the girl's greeting. She was so cute. "I'm Tomo-mama, as Tony said." Tomoyo did not miss the fact that the name that the child knew Migoto by wasn't his real name. Typically, if one wasn't planning to permanently stay with a Mortal, a fake name would suffice. Albeit, the Yami-ou didn't have a clue what Migoto was planning to do with that girl, and so long as it wasn't anything cruel--which Tomoyo didn't believe Migoto was capable of being to a small child--she would not question his methods.

"Actually," Tomoyo said in response to Migoto's last statement, "I can send a servant to fetch the clothing; in any case, I would like to fix up your little friend here after I hear all of the serious talk. If you need someone to play with Elizabeth, I have a daughter named Cielle. She's older than this sweet girl, but she loves children just as much as I do, and she's better with them as well. I can have Symphony take her to meet her...she could also remain here, however. Whatever is more comfortable with you, guardian Tony." And with that, she took a large spoonful of ice cream and stuck it in her mouth. Her eyes watered with happiness--it was so delicious!

[Kawairashii Yancha]

Yancha was still a bit shocked but it seemed to fit the flow of everything in this realm. The entire of the infernal realm that had been under his gaze thus far was a bit off. There was less here that one could expect of any realm with a government based on monarchy. The king of hell was a lax female that had marital issues and a liking for ice cream. The creatures that roamed here were all what must be angels of some kind and there was nothing here that would remind you of fire and brimstone. The castle here was so lavishly put together and glorious that it seemed to be straight from the minds of the greatest mortal artists. Yancha truly enjoyed the area he was now in, there was nothing like it on Earth. He had just walked through two of the most wondrous places in his life and both were in a place said to be the worst place in the afterlife.

Seeing that Tomoyo seemed to enjoy the company of Migoto he suspected that it was the fallen's music that did it. Migoto had a wonderful way with music and it made those who heard it feel... well whatever Migoto wanted them to feel. Tomoyo moved to her throne with the ice cream and Migoto was tinkering with his instrument. Yancha wondered if Migoto played for Tomoyo often. Migoto had never played for Yancha, no matter how much he asked all he was told was that Migoto would play for him when he was dying. Yancha stood unsure of exactly where he should stand and looked at the apparently pleased king with a smirk.

"Please do introduce me to a few of your most lovely playthings. I've been without a good romp for far to long. I was nearly on the verge of scouting a wife."

Yancha sighed just thinking of that annoying little detail. He would have to do something to carry on his name and ensure his ability and knowledge was passed on. For that end he was planning to have a child made, naturally a female was almost necessary. Yancha had planned to splice a bit of DNA from Arashi with his own to see the effect it would have on a human child. Though, the effect of creating such a child was likely an illegal crossbreeding in light of recent events.

[Ongaku Migoto]

Glad to see Tomo was enjoying her ice cream and Yancha was not to disturbed by Hell, Migoto continued to fiddle with his strings, a smile spread across his cerulean face, "Requests anyone, I've been dying to play something since I got 'her' back." Migoto said in reference to his guitar, which he reacquired in a show of strength days ago (See Discovery in Ningenkai Archives).

"What about Tomo-mama, you know some dude said kids who hear good music at a young age tend to be smarter, and since nothing's younger than womb-time, it doesn't seem like a bad idea." Migoto said, looking childish as ever as he motioned his arms to signal he was ready to jam.

[Sanada Tomo]

Ever since Tomoyo had met Migoto she had been delighted by his presence. Despite his gift with Sound, he was just a wonderful person with a boastful personality. He was very upbeat, and seemed to be the only person in the castle besides her daughter who was as happy as she was, despite the affairs of things.

Still chomping down on her ice cream, she said with a mouth full, "I don't anything about music and smarter babies," she savored the ice cream in her mouth a bit, and then swallowed. "It must be a Mortal Realm thing. However, any excuse to listen to you play is as good as any. Actually, I would prefer to hear a very nice Baroque period Ballad, if you know the words to any. I haven't heard one in eons, you know. However, if you don't know any, that's still okay. Play what you wish in that case."

[Ongaku Migoto]

"Umm... I think so... maybe..." Migoto stammered as his fingers fiddled at the strings of his guitar. Trying several strings and chords Migoto struck upon something that sounded like a Courante piece, and he continued to play it as he looked to Tomo for approval. "Did you mean something that sounded like this?" Migoto said as he gently caressed the strings of his instruments, playing to appease his king as she enjoyed her treat.
