The young woman glanced at the ground her normal passively happy expression fading away to something of scorn as she stared at the sidewalk, recalling what happened the last time she saw the Sabertooth guild master. While the event was not directly related to him? It still left an extremely bitter taste in her mouth. Since she had run away and never looked back, seeing the face of her much younger self on a piece of paper with the words missing scrawled across it like she was supposed to want to come home? Was jarring for the Inugami because for the sake of everything in the world, she did not want to ever go home, while she did sometimes miss the village itself, the only thing waiting for her in the house she grew up in, was the man she called father, drinking himself to death and doubting every word she said and every choice she made. Going back to a place like that? Was never an option for her. Thus when she saw the poster she had reacted very badly, recalling the feel of it as she harshly ripped it to shreds, savagely balled it all together then brutally tore it apart again before finally setting it to ashes in the wind. Jiyu had not been paying attention to who was around when she abused the poster, thus she did not know if Kite had seen what she did or not, but she feared if he had seen her actions after they defeated the undead general, he would question her on what she had done, why she seemed so hateful towards a girl she may not even know. Kazehime hated her own face, she looked just like her belated mother and no one believed her on what had happened that day, she was alone in rage that should have been shared by an entire village.
Shaking her head slightly she glanced at Wolfe once more, her fingers trailing down to the belt he designed for her. When the item had been tested? It worked just fine, entirely shrouding the long, thick extremely fluffy tail she was incapable of hiding herself, Jiyu just hoped that trend would continue, cause if it failed she may meet another death on this mission. A task she had not actually been seriously considering taking until he told her that his technical skills could help enable her to hide her tail, which he had been able to do. However? She was wondering if the price had been too high, because now the male knew about her tail itself, how simply a feather light touch could bring her to her knees due to the arousal like feelings it elicited, and he had even managed to find the spot at the base of her spine that paralyzed her body. The simplest solution to her problem at current would have been to kill him, but he was her guild-mate thus she was incapable, so she had to trust him, blindly trust someone to keep her biggest secret. Kazehime hated it and thus this job she had originally intended to be a quick fun trip if she could go on it without getting executed, quickly turned into a task she nearly rued. However, if the white-haired man could eventually prove to her that he was able to be trusted in spite of the subtle wrong foot he got off to with that? He would prove to be a very powerful ally, she was far from stupid, Jiyu knew this and thus she tried to keep the violation of her privacy and body she felt down. Honestly, Wolfe had not even done anything that bad, he simply measured her tail, not his fault that was directly wired to every other part of her nervous system with a direct route up her spine to her brain, thus more sensitive than any other part of her. He had been trying to help her, still was apparently, so it wasn’t like he was some bad person, she just had trouble trusting men, to begin with considering what had been done to her for three years, much less a man who knew two of her best kept secrets largely against her direct will for them to be learned. Oh well, it wasn’t as if he knew about Solace, so she could learn to forgive him soon enough.
“Hopefully the wind lets me keep this on when we get there.” she was holding a caped cloak up in front of herself, the same one she used to use in order to hide her demonic traits before she could shapeshift. This time? She intended to use it in order to keep the way her magic made her dress from getting her arrested in the place where mages got their heads cut off without a second thought. Of course, she doubted her tight pencil skirt and her skimpy crop top were actually exposure enough to get her arrested, but even these days she could feel the wind tugging at them as if it was discontent to have anything covering her flesh at all. Would it eventually tell her she had to be nude? Jiyu hoped not, in spite of her confidence she couldn’t just walk around in public nude, even if she normally walked around damn near it. “But we’ll have to move quickly the last time I wore this it only allowed it for a day and refused to even let me put it on the next day.” she had been terrified of her demonic traits when she first grew them because she had been raised as human by both her demon mother and her human father, especially after her mother’s death. “We’re meeting Kite on the boat.” after-all just two mages was hardly proper for going into penegrade, you needed a small powerful group, the three of them made that, even if she was afraid of the duo she knew they could take care of this like she could, it was the best option. The only two mages she would trust innately enough for this did not get along with each other and plus neither of them were high enough rank for this.
“Did I ever formally thank you for agreeing to come with? I know this is a daunting mission for most magic users.” even she had outright admitted it was part death trap, but she was sure a guild master, and ace and herself could handle this just perfectly.
