The Village S1 (Rough Draft)

[Beebs]

Vincent let out a short laugh and smiled. "Listen, everyone, I appreciate your concern, but I'll be just fine," he said with an assertive tone. "And I'm going to protect all of you, so you shouldn't have to worry about your own safety." The man looked toward his lover and gave her a smile. "Miyo, is there anything you'd like me to do for you? I figured that if I'm going to live here, I should help around the house."

[Beebs]

Miyo looked around searching for answer before saying with a grin, "Well, there's nothing really to do now. Kohana and I always did everything, but if we do need anything, you'll be the first person on the list."

"I'll help as well." Kikyo said scretching a little bit. "Although there's a little bit of trouble with these clan members but I don't think that should be a big problem."

"I'm ready to relax like Vincent." Jiro said putting his hand on the back of his heading outside. "Anyone want to join me?"

[Beebs]

Vincent smirked and crossed his arms as he too headed outside. "I know I'm in," he said with a raised brow. The man gave a warm grin and looked over to the women. "Miyo? Kohana? Kikyo? Care to join us?"

[Beebs]

"Wait a minute, you two need some towels." Miyo said a little nervous. The two males turned around as she left the room to go get some fluffy, extra big towels for everyone. "I never been in a onsen with a guy." she thought blushing a bit. "I hope I don't do anything stupid."


Kohana grabbed a towel from Miyo, snapping her out of her daze and gave a towel to Vincent. "Here you go!" the young girl said with a smile. "Is your shoulder ok?"

[Beebs]

((I’ll add the details for the onsen after your post, siani. The way I was writing this seemed way too jumbled up. -___-;; I know... I suck...))

With a nod, the Turk graciously took the towel from the young girl and smiled. "Yes, I'm feeling much better. Thanks, Kohana," he said as he followed the path leading to the onsen. The man looked over to the rest of the group and smirked. "Shall we get going then? We're wasting good bathing time."

As the group began to tread down the garden trail, Vincent waited for Miyo to catch up and he held out his hand to her. “Care to walk beside me?” he asked the young woman.

[Beebs]

Miyo pinned her hair up and placed her hand in Vincent's as they walked together to the onsen where Kikyo, Jiro, and Kohana were already in.



Miyo looking down with her towel wrapped around her, and blushed a little. Vincent helped her down and took a seat beside her lover and felt the hot water touch her skin. She took in a relaxing breath and looked up at the night sky with the over-sized moon giving off a luminous glow.

"I love the onsen!!" Kohana shouted splashing water about. "It's great in here isn't it!?!"

"Yeah, it is." Miyo replied softly looking at her hands in the water. "I don't want you to stay out here that long, you might pass out."

"Whatever! I won't pass out." Kohana said unconcerned. She began to splash Jiro a little as she giggled and moved about. "Hey! I'm tryin to relax here!" Jiro shouted at the young girl. Kikyo, Vincent, Miyo instantly gave provoked looks at the boy and his eyes widened. "Sorry Kohana, I didn't mean to yell at you." Jiro said calmly, submerging his face in the hot water before coming up and folding his arms.

Kikyo relaxed a bit and closed her eyes resting her head back. "I've been traveling so much before I was sucked into this world." she said. "It's wonderful to finally be able to relax."

"Same here." Vincent said placing his arm around his love. Miyo's heart started pounding a little faster as she rested her head on Vincent's good shoulder. "It's even more relaxing after eating a good meal."

After a few moments, Kohana settle down and closed her eyes. Kikyo noticed the change in Kohana and looked over to her. "Kohana, I think it's time for you to go inside." Kikyo said moving toward the child. Kohana made small grumbles, as it to say, 'let me alone' but didn't prevent everyone's concern for her. "I'll take her inside." Vincent said getting up. "She's starting to lose consciousness."

"No, I'll take her." Jiro said moving toward Kohana. "It's the least I can do for you all helping me and for yelling at her."

"I'll go with you. You two get more rest, I'm sure you need it." Kikyo said watching Jiro grab the child. She placed clean towels on Jiro and Kohana, then grabbed one for herself before leaving with them.


"I knew that would happen." Miyo said throwing a little water on her shoulders. She looked up at Vincent and blushed a little. "Are you enjoying yourself?"

((NOTE FROM BB: Why the hell did Kohana pass out?! xDDD))

[Beebs]

Vincent smiled and slipped his arm around Miyo once more. "I am," he said softly as he looked up at the moon. The Turk took a breath and sighed as he gazed up at the night sky. "It's a beautiful night. But do you what's more beautiful than the moon and the stars, Miyo?"

The man smirked and answered for her. "It's you, my love," he continued in a gentle tone. Vincent leaned in and planted a light kiss on the young woman's lips. He withdrew his lips and gave her a sincere and genuine smile. "You're far more beautiful than anything in this world."

[Beebs]

Miyo blushed a little before giving one of her brightest, most loving smiles. "I've never heard that from anyone before." she said softly looking into Vincent's eyes. "I'm happy to be right here with you. Vincent, you're everything I've dreamed of."


At the forest, the two men were watching and taking mental notes of what was going on. "This is our chance!" one whispered to the other. "Forget what Ryo says, we can get them now while they're not doing anything."

"But Ryo said to stay back. I'm sure that our leader has his reasons." The second guy said in a low tone grinning a bit and holding the other back. "Let's just watch a little longer. We might even get some action."

[Beebs]

The man gave a smirk and slowly made his way behind Miyo. Vincent whispered her name in a soft tone and he placed his arms around her waist. "You're also everything I've ever dreamed of, my love," the Turk whispered to her as he pulled the young woman close to him. "There's no one I would rather spend this moment with than you, Miyo."

[Beebs]

Miyo rested her head on Vincent's chest and closed her eyes. "I wish this night could last forever." Miyo thought. "I'm here with the love of my life; nothing could get better than this." She dosed off a little before she snapped back waking up. She felt her forehead for second then looked up at Vincent. "I think this onsen is starting to get to me."


After a while, the two men in the forest went back to camp. They went to Ryo's tent and told them what happened. "So, Jiro stayed and there's a woman close to him. She may be very useful to me." he said with a sly smirk then turned back to the two spies. "Let us wait a while. Jiro is young but he'll always side with me at the end. You two may take your leave."

The two spies bowed in respect and left the tent while Ryo gathered his thoughts. His female bedmates fulfilled his 'requests' as they all fell asleep. Ryo laid on the bed with his women, looked out into the night sky. "I want more power but there's something that's missing." he thought sighing a bit. "I have everything I could want but what is this piece that I'm lacking inside?"

[Beebs]

Vincent gave Miyo a warm smile and kissed her forehead. "Alright, my love," he said in a gentle tone as he began to rub her back while he continued to show off a broad grin. "It's getting late anyway. If you like, I'll carry you home. How does that sound?"

[Beebs]

"I don't want to be a burden to you." Miyo feeling relaxed by Vincent's touch and closing her eyes. After a second she opened them again, looked into the Turks loving eyes, and lightly touched his wounded shoulder. "I don't want to stress your shoulder and besides I have two feet."

[Beebs]

Vincent laughed a little and placed a hand on his love's lips. "Shh, don't worry about me," he said gently. The man gave Miyo a grin and another kiss on her forehead. "I'm carrying you, whether you like it or not. Besides, my shoulder is feeling much better. Now, go get dressed, alright?"

[Beebs]

Miyo giggled as she got out of the onsen. "Don't look ok?" she said getting dressed yawning a bit. "Are you sure you want to carry me? I know you have to feel a little tired from the bath."

[Beebs]

Vincent smiled and looked away from Miyo dressing. "Actually, I feel totally refreshed," the Turk said as he closed his eyes and his face turned pink. "And I don't mind carrying you at all. It's the least I can do for the person I love most."

The man looked over his shoulder and saw that Miyo was dressed. He nodded as he stepped out of the onsen and turned his head over his shoulder. "Now, don't look, alright?" he asked as he quickly put his pants on.

[Beebs]

Miyo blushed as she turned around the opposite way. She was tempted to take a peek at Vincent but decided not to and pulled her hair down. "Well, I'm ready when you're ready." the woman said combing her hair with her fingers. She turned around to see Vincent's chest exposed to her and instantly looked to the side biting her lower lip. She looked back to Vincent and smiled a little. "I hope I'm not too heavy."

[Beebs]

Vincent smirked as he pulled his shirt over his head. "Trust me, I've carried things far heavier than you, Miyo," he said as he gently picked the young woman up in his arms. The Turk gave her a reassuring nod and a wink. "Just hold onto me and you'll be fine."

After a few moments of treading the garden path, the man made his way back to the house and his ears perked to the light breathing of the others sleeping in their rooms. "It's best that we be quiet," Vincent whispered as he entered the living room with Miyo still in his arms. “We don’t want to wake anyone up.”

[Beebs]

"Ok." Miyo whispered back smiling and holding herself closer to Vincent. She never had anyone pick her up before in such a way that the Turk did and she was loving every second of it. Miyo looked back up at Vincent again and whispered, "You make me feel so special Vincent, carrying me around like this. Are you going to get some sleep tonight?"


Meanwhile, Ryo got out of his bed and quickly got dressed. All night he heard things about Vincent and the woman he was with. "What does he have that I don't?" the clan leader thought to himself. He secretly left the camp and headed toward Miyo's house. "I need to know what the talk is all about and this woman will be useful to me to get the energy I need."


"Ryo, there's no time for a silly woman! I need that energy so we can remain stable as one." Samuru said entering Ryo's mind. "Stay focus! You need me more than ever now."

Ryo shook away Samuru's words, moving like a swift and quiet ninja through the forest until he reached the house. He peeked inside to see Miyo in Vincent's arms going inside her room. The Fuwa leader moved around to Miyo's window very quietly, and began using Samuru's power to concentrate on listening to the couple inside. "So those are the two the clan were talking about. She's really beautiful with that smile of hers." Ryo thought to himself. "That man will be gone when I take his energy source. Hmmm....Maybe when I rule everything she can be my empress."

"Don't worry about the girl, the energy is what we need." Samuru said coming back in Ryo's mind again. He began corrupting the leader's mind saying, "All this power, strength, and control I gave you and you want to lose it all for this female? She'll never love you and would only want to use you like those other women you sleep with. You want to rule everything like you said right? This isn't the time to act like a fool. Take what's rightfully yours and all the power that was never given to you when you did your best."

"You're right. If you die then I die as well." Ryo replied in thought to the demon within him. He peeked inside to see that the woman was on her feet hugging the male tightly, in a loving way. Vincent eyes thinned looking toward the window as Ryo continued his thoughts, "I am Ryo Itashi, leader of the Fuwa clan! No woman comes before what I worked so hard for! I'll have no need for this woman after I use her to get the energy that I need. They'll have to wait and see what I have planned for them. For now I'll let them live."

[Beebs]

((ororo.... Ryo's quite bold....))

Vincent turned his attention from the window back to Miyo and he offered her a smile. "I'll try to get some sleep," he told her in a low tone as he held her closer to his body. "But don't worry about me. You go off to bed and get some rest. I'll be here in the living room if you need me, alright?"

[Beebs]

"Ok then." Miyo replied getting under the covers. "If you need anything then feel free to get it."


Ryo watched the Turk walk out of the room and took a glance at Miyo. The leader began to feel confused as moved to get a closer look at the woman and started to have second thoughts about what he was thinking only a moment ago. "I need to clear my mind" he whispered to himself. Ryo left his spot and went back into the forest."This is too much to think about."


Waking up bright and early, Jiro walked into the living room seeing Vincent with his eyes closed. A devilish smile grew on the young boy's face as he quietly grabbed the water from the flower vase and hovered it over the Turks head. "You think you know everything!" Jiro wickedly thought. "I bet you don't know what I'm about to do to you!!"
