SAINTS (1x1 w/DarkMukip)

Yukimura moved to Akihime, relief washing over him when she confirmed she was still whole. “He told me that Megohime interfered in our fight.” He said, looking to Masamune.
 
“Job? What kind of job?” He asked, head still throbbing a bit, but there wasn’t even a scratch left on him.
 
Yukimura’s eyebrows furrowed, nodding firmly- he didn’t want to keep endangering Akihime, he would do what he had to to pay off his debt and get them back home. “I’ll do it.” He said.
 
"I'm glad, Sarutobi already said he would." Masamune replied smugly. Sasuke grimaced a bit.
"I agreed that I had the ability to do it, I didn't want to agree until dana got here." He replied.
 
Yukimura made a face, but shook his head. “It doesn’t matter, we both already agreed to take whatever job required to pay off our debt. Just tell us who and we’ll do it.” He said firmly.
 
"Samanosuke,"
"Hai." Samanosuke appeared with some files and handed them to Yukimura.
"The investigators you're looking for are Goto Matabei, Ii Naotora, and Azai Nagamasa."
"They've been real thorns in my ass as of late and I want 'em gone." Masamune said.
 
Yukimura skimmed through each file briefly, making sure to memorize their names and faces. “We’ll get it done.” He agreed with a nod, handing the files to Sasuke for him to look over as well.
 
"Yukimura..." Akihime whispered, despite the fact that Masamune could probably still hear her, "those three are dangerous investigators... especially Naotora..."
"Don't worry that pretty head of yours," Masamune smirked, "I trust Sanada and Sarutobi, so should you."
"I do trust them," Akihime frowned, "I don't trust the CCG."
 
Yukimura knew of this investigator Naotora, he had heard plenty about just how strong she was. “Akihime, I’ll be fine, I have Sasuke with me.” He said to try and soothe her worries, but he couldn’t quite ease his own.
He turned to look at Masamune again. “When can we start?”
 
"Whenever you want. There's no time limit, just get it done. If I have to ask if they're dead is when you should worry." Masamune replied. Sasuke set the files down and looked to Yukimura.
"I just need to get my mask before we head out, but I'm ready if you are, dana." He said. Akihime tried to keep calm, knowing Yukimura and Sasuke would be fine if it was both of them, but she was still scared. She took Yukimura's hand in both of hers, giving his hand a squeeze to try and soothe herself.
"Before you two go, come find me, ok...? I want to wish you luck..." She said softly.
 
Yukimura nodded to Sasuke, also needing to retrieve his mask. “Let’s get our gear and head out, better to get this done sooner than later.”
He turned to Akihime when she squeezed his hand, giving her a reassuring smile. “Will do, try not to worry too much.” He teased softly.
 
Akihime smiled weakly and gave a soft laugh.
"That's a bit impossible at this point." She replied. Masamune made a noise, not really liking how cutesy they were.
"The sooner the better." He said firmly.
 
Yukimura gave Akihime’s hand one last squeeze before letting go. “I’ll check in once I’m done.” He promised, turning to Sasuke. “Let’s go.” He said.
 
"Hai," Sasuke said as he pushed himself to his feet, "don't wait up, Amaya, Aki."
"I'm already anticipating your safe return." Akihime replied in good humor.
 
Amaya nodded, looking worried, but she held her tongue, watching the two leave before looking to Akihime and then Masamune. “When do we start?”
 
"If you're bored, I can have you start now." He replied, "I'm sure the boys would love something to drink."
"Just point us in the right direction, Boss Masamune." Akihime said. Masamune smirked at that.
"Can do."
 
Amaya followed behind the two closely, glancing around to scope the place out a bit as they went. There seemed to be mostly ghouls, but it was hard to be certain with the stench of blood in the air.
 
"You'll be happy to know that there aren't goofy uniforms. Unless I feel a little mean, that is~" Masamune said. Akihime flushed gently at the idea of wearing a maid outfit.
"We appreciate it..."
 
Amaya was equally as displeased with the idea of having to parade around in a maid costume, but least she provoke his mean streak and see if he was serious, she agreed with a nod. “I appreciate it..”
One of Masamune’s men approached Masamune. “Boss, Megohime’s looking for you, she’s in your room.”
 
Masamune scowled gently, knowing if he made her wait, she'd start throwing a temper tantrum.
"Can you show these two where the bar is? Otani is here to clean, so make her clean." He said before turning to the two, "Do forgive Megohime's rude behavior, she's usually a lot better." He said. Akihime shook her head quickly, hating how becoming a one eyed ghoul destroyed the woman she knew Megohime as before.
"No, please! If she needs you, then she needs you! We'll get to work right away!"
 
“I hardly noticed.” Amaya said, holding her hands up as she looked away to avoid his gaze.
“Of course, boss!” He nodded and bowed, turning to Akihime and Amaya and motioning for them to follow as he continued ahead of them.

Megohime paced angrily in their bedroom as she waited for Masamune, brows furrowed and the veins around her kakugan agitated.
 
Akihime followed, keeping close to Amaya as she did.
"What a turn of events, hm?" She said with faint amusement.

Masamune came in after a bit of waiting.
"What's up, babe? Everything ok?"
 
“I didn’t really expect I’d ever become a bartender, let alone by force.” She joked back, finding it eased the tension a bit.

She glanced at him over her shoulder when he came in, a soft scowl on her face. “How long is this little arrangement going to last?”
