Friday: February 1, 2008
Who: Mitsuko and Irei
When: Evening
Where: Irei and Sascha's place
What: Post-coital discussion of recent events

Italics=Japanese dialogue

Mitsuko was still panting as she pulled herself off of Irei and laid down alongside him on the bed. Her flesh was slicked with sweat and her long hair clung to her skin. She reached to the bedside table and grabbed a pack of cigarettes and lighter with slightly trembling hand.

They hadn't spoken when she'd come in. She'd simply strolled into the bungalow and when she found Irei, she kissed him furiously and they'd tumbled into his bedroom. She didn't want talk, she didn't want to discuss her feelings. She wanted to forget, to lose herself in the pleasure of another body. Irei seemed to have no objections and things had progressed.

Her mind had been plagued by the events of late. Hayate's imprisonment. Adrienne's attack. Adrienne...

Mitsuko's mother had told her not to become attached to people. That they would always let you down. Adrienne had not let her down... It was even worse. Adrienne had almost died. It was a hurt Mitsuko had never really experienced before. No one she'd cared about had ever died, as she'd never opened up enough to care about anyone. Now that she had, it frightened her. Even worse, it couldn't have been Hayate who had done it. Mitsuko was certain it had been him who had hurt so many people in Elysium. But now, there seemed to be someone else...

When Mitsuko was troubled like this, she turned to the one thing she knew could take her mind off of it.

It had worked, for a moment. Irei was skilled and the pleasure had clouded her mind while they writhed together in his bed. But with passions now cooled, the dark thoughts began to creep back into her mind.

Mitsuko lit both cigarettes and held one out to Irei. She ran her foot up and down his calf idly, her expression one of pensive uncertainty.

"Irei-kun...." Mitsuko started, worrying her lower lip slightly. But as soon as his name left her mouth, her query seemed ridiculous. She averted her gaze, a curtain of dark hair obscuring her face. "Nevermind. It's hardly good pillow talk."

Irei had been a little surprised to see the kitsune so suddenly, but that seemed to be her way. She had appeared often enough after the initial threesome with him and Sascha. He hadn't complained this or any other time when she came wordlessly into his home with the intention to use his body. He would use her as well. She had probably noticed by now that he was practically an incurable insomniac, and never really got a full nights sleep. That made him a pretty good choice for a late night rendezvous.

Irei himself hadn't been outside of the bungalow in a while. He had stashed a number of bottles of liquor in his room and had been in holed up in there for a good amount of time. His work table was a mess of papers and books scattered around and a notebook sat cradled on the corner with Japanese and English scrawled all over it. He had started to meticulously to return to studying his craft and translating his tome of necromancy into English once again.

A curl of smoke rose from the cigarette perched on the edge of his lips, where he lay on his back after taking it from her. He had been staring at the ceiling before she had spoken, but now his strange blue-eyed gaze was focused on her. He could have told from the minute she had entered the bungalow that she was troubled, and now she seemed to be having trouble expressing it.

Irei lifted the cigarette from his mouth and exhaled slowly before asking, "Nan desuka?* Is there something you would like to talk about?"

*What is it?

The words seemed to be stuck in Mitsuko's throat. It was a strange sight to see the girl at a loss for words. She normally had no trouble speaking, to the point of having the emotional sensitivity of a bull in a china shop. Perhaps it was because it was her own feelings in question that she hesitated. While she had spoken to Irei about Hayate and such, their relationship-- arrangement?-- was not particularly emotional. She didn't know about opening up about her feelings about Adrienne's attack. But could she turn to anyone else? Irei was the only one who knew of her loathing of Hayate. The two things were intrinsically connected to one another.

"You heard about Hayate, sa?" Mitsuko brought her cigarette to her lips with one hand, her free one going to trace the reddened lines her fingernails had left on Irei's chest during their coupling. "He was arrested. For attacking someone. He's in jail." It was too good a fate for him, in her estimation. Even if Adrienne's attack had cast doubt on Hayate's culpability in all of the attacks in Elysium, that didn't change the fact he was dangerous and had attacked her and Irei.

Mitsuko met Irei's unearthly gaze. "The thing is... Someone else was attacked while he was in jail. Someone nearly died." Her lower lip trembled slightly. "Adrienne. Adrienne was attacked." While she and Irei might not have had the most emotionally aware relationship, her feelings for the lycanthrope were patently obvious. And then there was the finale on it all. "Logan found her near the lake, bleeding half to death."

Irei hissed slightly as her fingernails touched the scratches she had left on him. He shut his eyes and tilted his head back listening to her speak about the predicament Hayate seemed to have found himself in. Irei really hadn't thought much about it actually.

"I suppose I did. He does seem to have a streak of attacking people he believes are in his way."

Because he hadn't been to the wine bar or out much as of late, he hadn't heard much of the gossip or news about what had happened in town.

"Who is Adrienne?" Irei had never met Adrienne personally, although he knew who her boyfriend was even if he didn't know that they were attached. "I guess that she is a friend of yours. I am sorry she was hurt. Hmmm, it doesn't seem like it could have been Hayate's fault."

Irei stretched his tired body and yawned. It wasn't that he was insensitive to what Mitsuko was feeling, he just had an internal system that made him extremely tired after sex. It normally worked out pretty well for him because it often left him with dreamless nights.

"Who would want to hurt her?"

Mitsuko fingers curled, nails digging into Irei's skin as he spoke of Hayate's nature. She couldn't help her reaction. Hayate just brought that out in her. "He attacks anyone. I had done nothing to him. He was simply hungry." When she realized what she was doing, how she was tormenting Irei's flesh, she pulled her hands away. "Sorry." She bowed her head slightly before taking a few puffs of her cigarette. "He just gets me so...."

With a small sigh, Mitsuko buried her face in the crook of Irei's neck. She did not often seek to cuddle after having sex. She didn't need to feel closeness with her partners, but tonight was different. She was troubled and craved affection and comfort. Irei was perhaps not the best choice for companion, but perhaps he would give her allowance just this once.

"She was the first person I met in Elysium," Mitsuko murmured against Irei's skin. She could feel the tears stinging her eyes and vainly tried to fight them. "She... Likes me. Even though she doesn't approve of the things I do, she still likes me. And she's nice and funny and..." She wrapped an arm around Irei's torso and pulled herself against him. The tears had begun to slide down her cheeks. "I've gone for years without friends. And now that I've found them, they've get hurt. And Adrienne is more than that. She is... She's like my sister. And now she's in the Medical Pavilion, because something tried to tear her apart."

Mitsuko sniffled. "How can Elysium have two psychopaths? I thought this place was supposed to be a Haven."

Shifting slightly, Mitsuko rested her head on Irei's chest and glanced up at him, her dark eyes mournful and her cheeks stained with tears. "I'm sorry, Irei-kun. I didn't mean to get like this. I just wanted... I don't know."

Irei placed the cigarette in his mouth, inhaled the nicotine laced smoke and then sighed it out. He shut his eyes and as she dug her claw-like nails into his skin, and moaned. He took the cigarette out of his mouth before he bit off the filter. "What is there to be sorry about? You know I like it."

He opened his eyes to Mitsuko burying her face in his neck. He could feel the tears on his skin as she cried against him, and he listened to her. Irei had always been good at listening and he licked his lips and wondered what exactly he should do to make her feel better. While he was a good listener, he wasn't the best at making others feel better.

"Well I guess it depends on what you consider a psychopath." He wondered exactly how much of Irei's dream Logan had shared with his sister. "I don't think there is much access to past medical records in a place like this, so who knows who could have been in a mental institution. Frankly, there are probably plenty of people here who should be locked up."

Irei scratched his nose with the hand holding the cigarette and winced when some hot ash fell on his cheek. "*Kuso!" He brushed it away quickly and then knocked it off his bed sheets.

He looked down at the pathetic face she was making. It certainly made him feel uncomfortable, but the tears also made the kitsune's eyes shine. He sighed and patted her shoulder. "Iie, it's fine. You can stay here as long as you want until you feel better." He rubbed her shoulder gently.

Irei looked up at the ceiling and shook his head. He must have been around Sascha too long and the telepath's habits were starting rubbing off on him. At least he wasn't to the stage where he hugged people and then kissed them on the forehead yet.

*shit

Mitsuko looked up at Irei as he moaned. It had not been her intent to entice him. For a moment, she briefly considered trying to lure him into a second round. While their lovemaking had not taken her mind off things the first time, maybe a second would do it. She then thought better of it and just smoothed her fingers over the marks she had created.

There were few people Mitsuko would open up to with things like this. It was a testament to how much she had grown to care about Irei since she met him. Maybe, in some ways, she recognized some of herself in the man. She wasn't expecting him to be any good at making her feel better. She certainly sucked at it. Maybe she just thought his reaction would be something like her own.

"I consider someone who tries to kill people for pleasure a psychopath," Mitsuko murmured against Irei's neck. She didn't know much about metal institutions, but that sort of thing didn't matter to her. "You would think-- if the Council were as powerful as they liked to pretend they are-- they'd be able to tell if someone got their rocks off killing people." She nuzzled against Irei. "But I suppose if they screened people, they wouldn't have let me in."

Mitsuko sat up briefly at Irei's curse. Once he brushed the ash away, she leaned in, pressing a kiss to the burn. "You should be more careful." It was nice-- for a moment-- to focus on something other than her own unhappy feelings... Even if it was a mild burn.

Mitsuko had no wish to make Irei feel uncomfortable, but she had no idea what to do. Irei was one of the only people she was comfortable opening up to, who didn't seem to judge her for any of her decisions or feelings. "Arigatou, Irei-kun." She brushed the tears away from her cheek and leaned in, kissing him on the lips. It was a much more gentle kiss than she and Irei had ever shared before. It was not meant to be leading towards anything. It was a simple showing of gratitude and affection. She had no desire to change her relationship with Irei-- after Loki, she only wanted to have fun. However, she was very fond of Irei now, far fonder than she'd ever meant to. "I won't stay long... I doubt you much want to snuggle a fox while you sleep."

Irei didn't really open up to anyone. Even Sascha sometimes had to drag it out of him. His issues with opening up to people stemmed back to his experience in the mental institution. He hadn't liked it when they had wrote down everything he had said and analyzed it assuming that there was something terribly wrong with his brain.

Maybe there was now. After such treatments as shock therapy left him with little taste in sharing his own thoughts with people. Nobody seemed to listen anyways. It's when people stop listening or paying attention that bad things happen.

"Are you talking about the person who hurt your friend, or Hayate?" Her emotional reaction toward either of them seemed to be the same. "I have a feeling that when we all came here, there wasn't any time to do something like screen our pasts. We all were trying to escape the chaos outside our little haven."

He turned his head toward her and blinked a few times. It hadn't hurt him so much as shocked him when the hot ash fell on his face, and he certainly wasn't used to having someone dote on him like that. Unless he was really sick or hurt, then Sascha would play nurse.

Irei let her kiss her gratitude toward him. It really didn't quell any uncomfortable feelings though, and probably only made it marginally worse. He looked up at her and touched her face. Affection was not something he was used to, but Sascha had forced it out of him once. He would never leave his friend.

"You can stay as long as you like Mitsuchan. I don't mind if you turn into a fox." Irei was pretty used to sleeping with canines so far now. He reached out to smooth her hair back from her face.

Mitsuko was not the type to easily open up either. It was not really on instinct. In fact, probably the reason she kept things to herself was because-- before Elysium-- she never spent long enough with any one person to really get into her issues. She was unpracticed and unused to it. But now that she was somewhat 'settled', now that she had real friends... It was easier. She realized just how incredibly lonely she was, even if she never said it aloud. And admitting things to Irei seemed... Easier than most. He didn't judge her. Didn't think her a slut or trash for the number of men she slept with or the things she stole. He didn't try to dissuade her from the activities which had formed her personality.

Was she in love with Irei? Not really. Mitsuko had tried being in love twice and both times she'd just gotten her heart broken. She knew it would just be the same with Irei.

But that wasn't to say she didn't love him. He accepted her as she was and she him. She felt comfortable with him. She would never say so to him. She knew enough about Irei to know such affections would be... Unwise to express. But she couldn't help but feel them all the same.

"Both," Mitsuko murmured. "Even if Hayate wasn't the one who hurt Adrienne, he's still a bad guy. I'm no saint, but hurting people for pleasure..." A shiver when through her. "He was ready to kill me that night he bit me. And I saw his eyes. He was going to enjoy every minute of it. And now it seems there's someone else too. And it's not like we can leave the haven. We're locked in here with psychopaths."

Mitsuko could feel the pressure of Irei's lips, knew he wasn't entirely comfortable with the gesture. It was the only gesture of true affection Mitsuko planned to show towards him. Once she pulled away, the moment was over and she wasn't going to press any more.

She considered Irei's offer. There had only been two men she'd slept with-- really slept with. The two men she'd been in love with. That gave her a moment's pause, opening herself up that much to Irei. But.... Somehow, it didn't feel so worrisome now. Loki had shown her that not all men would react like Sho at her bestial form. While things had not worked out with Loki, they were still friends. As long as she didn't try to change her relationship with Irei, they would be okay. She leaned briefly into his hand, smiling. She gave a nod. "Mm."

Mitsuko laid down beside Irei, the small smile still on her face. "Arigatou, Irei-kun."

Irei shrugged. "Sure he's a bad person to hang around.You should stay away from him." Irei looked down at his stomach where the vampire and punched him the last time they had met. His fingers touched where he remembered the bruise had been, although it was long gone now. He hadn't directly interacted with Hayate since then. It wasn't that he was afraid of the mini vampire. The man was nearly a foot shorter than he was. Maybe it was the disgust in his voice and the fact that he apparently couldn't recall what they had done the night in the bathroom at the wine bar that had turned Irei off of him. He also didn't need to protect poor, innocent Kaiya anymore, seeing as he had done such a stellar job in that.

"If he is a psychopath and should be committed, then antagonizing him is probably not the smartest thing to do, ne?" He eyed her. He knew that she had no love for the vampire and recalled what she had said the night he was drunk. He actually didn't have a very clear memory of it, but sometimes it is a little handy to have a parasitic ghost following you constantly.

He winced slightly when she made her comment about being locked in Elysium with the mentally unstable. "Maybe you should help your friend learn how to defend herself then. There are ways to keep most preternaturals from causing harm to others. You know that." He reached over and took her chin in his hand after she pulled away.

Irei let her go and stretched out his whole body. His muscles were telling him that it was time for sleep. He wrapped his arm around the kitsune in his bed. "There is nothing to thank me for Mitsu-chan. " He rubbed her back gently.

I think one more post from Irei should finish this up

Irei was right of course. The smartest thing she could do was stay away from Hayate. She was starting to think any attempt to keep him behind bars-- or, indeed, six feet under, was fruitless. Perhaps it was best to just let it go. The Head Council had his number now, had him jail. She just had to hope that would be enough.

"I already did," Mitsuko admitted, out loud for the first time. "It didn't make any difference." She glanced up at Irei. "I spiked his blood with anticoagulants. But... Obviously, it didn't do anything. That was all I had. I know he'd kill me in a straight-up fight. And being sneaky doesn't seem to work with him." She sighed deeply. "He's an evil I really don't want to have to live with, but it seems I have no choice."

She considered what Irei had said. Adrienne was no slouch in the strength department, what with lycanthropic abilities and her own athleticism, but it wouldn't hurt to find out if she knew self-defense and the weaknesses of stronger praeternatural species. "You're a pretty smart guy, Irei-kun."

Mitsuko rested her head against Irei's chest and she sighed deeply. As tiredness set in, she transformed into her vulpine form. The small white fox curled up next to her lover and drifted off.

Irei looked down at her. Had she really gone that far as to try to kill the blond vampire? And if she was as good as her profession needed to be at sneaking into people's homes, then she probably wouldn't have left any real clues. That would be good for her, but then who would the vampire believe was trying to kill him? Would he jump to any sudden conclusions?

"Ah, I know I'm smart." He grinned at her and ran his fingers through her hair in a comforting motion. He had been with a few girls back when he lived in the states that told him they like the way his hands felt as he petted them. He figured since Mitsuko was a kitsune, a fox, she probably wouldn't be too different. She'd probably enjoy it more.

He watched as she turned into the vulnerable white fox laying on his chest. She was much smaller than the dogs that sometimes slept in his bed with him. He laid his head back and sighed softly.

He wasn't too worried about her. Hayate seemed to have a one track mind. It looked like he could only focus his attention on on thing at a time. Irei had encountered the vampire multiple times but little had come of them besides the beating he had received. Hayate didn't seem to seek out those who offended him in any way. It was probably why Irei felt, less than threatened by him.

He yawned and shut his eyes, hoping for a dreamless sleep.
