Road To Recovery [Closed, NDE Joint-Training]

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

She stood next to Asmoskon and that's when she noticed something different. He did charge, but it wasn't as she originally thought. She thought he was going to charge her but he was actually charging towards Asmoskon. Only a coward would charge someone injured. It made her even more angry at the man. Thankfully, when she lit her liquid, the man's feet caught fire and he was howling in pain. Since he was coming towards Asmoskon before she got next to him, once she appeared by his side and lit the liquid, she looked towards him.

It seemed that he was more injured than Hotaru originally thought. Whatever he did to help her out of that attack was a huge drain on his body and she could tell he was going to fall unconscious again. The scream, however, seemed to waken him. Before Hotaru could try to move and intercept the axe that was still heading towards him, it seemed that Asmoskon had enough energy to defend himself. She watched as his right arm swung to the left. But, what happened after the swing didn't seem possible. With that one swing, he was able to throw the man outside of the room, through the window, to land outside on the ground below them.

She just stared at him. How in the hell did he manage to do that? Her Gigai reappeared while Hotaru sealed her sword, her fire liquid disappearing as her sword was sealing itself. Once the sword was completely sealed, Hotaru walked back into her Gigai and caught the pill that appeared out of her mouth. She put the pill back in her bag, saving it for the next time. She then rushed to Asmoskon side. She saw that he had slumped back onto the bed, breathing hard. She looked around quickly to try to find something cool for his face.

She was able to find a washcloth and basin. She filled the basin with cool water and immediately started to wet the cloth and put it on his brow. She could tell that whatever he did had made him extremely weak. She smiled down at him, while she took her seat back next to his bed. "I should be asking you that question silly. Of course I'm okay, but how are you? No offense, but you've looked better love. Are you okay? What else can I do to help you? Though, I'm really curious what technique you used to throw him out of the window like that, but I can wait till you're feeling better." She leaned over his bed and gave him a small kiss on his forehead, hoping it would help him.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Laying down in the bed now sweat pouring off of his body Asmoskon tried to keep his breathing down to the normal degree. That however was proving to be incredibly difficult to say the least. Not only was he having a difficult time breathing now, but blood was starting to run down from his nostrils. Hotaru was moving the water around and trying to do her best just as Asmoskon would expect from her tender heart. It was then that Hotaru began to speak to him and while she did he struggled to lean forwards again.

Sitting upright while she began to ask him what sort of technique he had just used in order to throw Hagar from the room. Asmoskon moved his hands backwards to the back of his hospital gown and pulled the strings apart. He brought it off his upper body and then laid it under the blanket. While he tried to lean back he pretty much just fell onto his back his head hitting the pillow again. "I'll be fine all I need to rest. I can't show you the technique again firefly it's because of that technique that I'm in this condition now."

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru stared at Asmo, trying her best to think of something else that she could do for him. When he stared to sit upright, she kept her arms behind his back, just in case his strength would leave him and he ended up falling backwards again. When he reached backwards, she moved her arms and she gently rubbed his back while he moved his gown down off his chest. While she was rubbing his back, she could feel something change in him. She still looked at his face, she felt him trying his best to lean backwards. It was then that she felt it.

When he couldn't handle it anymore, she took his weight and, as gently as she could, laid his down on the bed to rest. Once he was down on his back, she removed her arms where they were, grabbed cooler water for her basin and sat back by his side, rubbing the water on his chest and face, trying her best to cool him down. He said that he needed rest, which was pretty apparent. He had been through hell and when he helped her, he had just made it that much worse on himself. When he mentioned showing her the technique she smiled. "I said I was curious about the technique, not that you needed to show me right now. I also said that it could wait till you were better silly man. So, it will wait. Though, you could always just tell me about it instead of showing me." She then kissed his forehead, hoping that no other surprises showed up.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Laying in the hospital bed Asmoskon was beginning to feel the curtains of slumber drape over him. It would only be a few more minutes until Asmoskon resumed slumber. He needed to rest especially after exhausting what little energy he had gathered. There was something he had to do though in order to make sure that the Vandenreich didn't try anything while he was asleep. They could very well outnumber Hotaru and Asmoskon knew while she was now a Captain he didn't want her to fight a General of the Vandenreich alone. So reaching over to the table on the other side of him he grabbed his cell phone.

While he was looking through his contacts Hotaru went on about how she stated she could wait and all that along with the fact that he could just explain to her what the technique actually was and did. Asmoskon just turned his head to the side grinning at Hotaru. "Where exactly would the fun in that be?" It was right after he had spoken that a ringing was heard on his phone as he dialed the number that he obviously had selected. It only rang twice and then was answered by what sounded like the voice of a young female. "Asmoskon! Are you alright? Where are you? Are you hurt? Location now!"

Asmoskon let out a sigh and then brought the phone up to his right ear from the position it had been right above his belly button. "Temperance calm down. I'm fine for now. I'm located in Japan near Tokyo on this small island in a hospital. Track my phone. I'm here with a personal associate but I need you to deploy agents sixteen through twenty five. Make sure their prepped and know that Major Masurao will be inspecting them while I recover. I'll be here for the next week so make sure they are set up for the time being as well. The Vandenreich know my location so have them bring my equipment with them." "Alright welcome back Major Masurao."

Asmoskon then looked back over at Hotaru while he placed his phone back on the table. "I'm going to be staying here for the next week obviously. I'll have the hospital secure within a few hours so if you have business in Soul Society you don't need to worry about me." Asmoskon smiled though after a moment his left hand moving over to Hotaru's cheek. "You're more then welcome to come and go as much as you wish though. . we have so much time to make up for my firefly."

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru sat by his side, knowing that he was probably going to have to stay in this hospital for awhile. While she was thinking on other things, she saw Asmoskon's face turn towards her and grin. He said what fun would it be for him to just explain his new technique. It made Hotaru smile back. She hadn't seen him grin so much in months and it made Hotaru happy to see him like this. It was good to have her old Asmoskon back, even if there were changes to him. She was curious if that man was going to come back with reinforcements when Asmo went for his phone.

Whoever he called, they seemed fairly worried about him, which she guessed was good. It made her curious as to who he called, since she knew nothing about what he now did for a living. He then told this Temperance person his location, saying to deploy agents here. He called himself a major, which sounded like a high ranking officer. She barely knew about ranks in the military, since samurai didn't follow the same ranking hierarchy. He told this person he would be here for a week, so these people were to bring some kind of equipment.

What was really interesting was he called her a personal associate. After he was done, he told her that he was staying here a week and that the hospital was secure, so she wouldn't need to worry about him. She would worry about him anyway. Then, he moved his left hand to her cheek and she grabbed his hand, pressing it gently onto her cheek smiling at him. He told her that she was more than welcome to come and go since they have time to make up for. "Of course I was going to do that silly. I'm off for the rest of the day so I plan on staying here. Though, you need to explain to me more of this major business and how you can just call people to come here. Also, how am I just a personal associate? You couldn't just tell them that your girlfriend was here? I see how important I am." She said the last part teasingly, but somewhat serious. She looked normal now and as long as they weren't spiritually aware, they wouldn't know that she was different from anyone else.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Well it seemed like things were going to be much calmer hopefully over the next few days. Hotaru was happy from what he could tell and the sensation of her soft skin against his hand was soothing even as he began to struggle to stay awake. Then came Hotaru's curiousness and Asmoskon knew that until he gave her at least some of the answers that she sought he wasn't going to get to sleep peacefully. "Well in our time apart . . you weren't the only one that rose to a position of power firefly. I'm roughly the equivalent to a Captain of the Soul Society for my own organization. The reason I can call people in is because of I'm one of the few in charge of the Military."

Asmoskon smiled upwards at Hotaru softly as slumber began to take hold of his mind. "I can't go letting everyone know that my significant other is a Shinigami. Much less a Captain. If that were to get spread around the both of us would become get even bigger targets placed on our heads. For the time being it needs to be still kept somewhat secret. The time will come though when it won't need to be hidden I promise." Asmoskon let out a heavy sigh as he closed his eyes. "Forgive me, but I'm going to be out for awhile." It only took a few more moments until Asmoskon's consciousness faded into slumber and Hotaru was left at his bed side.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru waited to see if he would answer any of the questions that she had brought up. She could tell that he was fighting off the sleep that was starting to consume him, but she understood that he would need sleep. He was injured pretty badly and he would need to sleep. So, she waited, enjoying the feel of his skin against hers again. She had missed it, so it was very nice to feel it against her again. It seemed that he too rose into a powerful position. While she became a Captain, he became something that's her equivalent in his organization.

She would ask about the organization later, of course, but she would talk to him more about this in detail later. He was in charge of the Military which made her raise an eyebrow. The man she knew before, she never would've picked him to be in charge of some kind of military. But from what she's seen of the new Asmo, it fit him quite well. She nodded her head while he explained and then he went on to explain his one statement. He still wanted to keep people in the dark, for now. He didn't want others to know about her yet, which she got.

She just hated that it was still this way. But, when he said the time will come when they're relationship won't be hidden. She smiled at that and squeezed his hand gently. He closed his eyes and she knew that he was getting ready to fall asleep. She waited with him until the people he called got here. She stood and while they were securing everything, she explained to them that she would be back in three days to come and visit him. She said to expect her and they nodded. She then walked out of the building, knowing she couldn't show any affection towards him once they got there.

She then waited the three days. She hurriedly went back to Soul Society, into her office and got it ready. She made sure that everything was in order and the next two days she spent organizing the squad, sending them out on their patrols and making sure that everything would be good to go when she was only here for a half day the next day. When she woke up on the third day, she couldn't contain herself to go see Asmoskon. He was all that was on her mind now that they finally got reunited. So, she got dressed, took her Gigai and then went to her Squad.

She walked in, and got everything set up. She set out the papers that the officers would need on her door in little nooks hanging on the door. With that, she locked her door, made sure it was all labeled and then headed out. She Shunpo'ed towards the Thirteenth Division, quickly walking through the gates to the Human World. When she appeared in the Human World, she sensed out Asmoskon's reiatsu. Once she found it, she Shunpo'ed towards him and found an alley near the hospital, putting her Gigai on. Once on, she walked inside the hospital, made it to Asmo's room and then sat at his bedside, holding his left hand in both of hers.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Well that was it after Asmoskon had said what he did he had fallen asleep. Hotaru had stayed by his side for awhile and then made her own way off back to Soul Society. By the time that Asmoskon woke up his second in command was sitting in his room. Asmoskon knew that his squadron of the military would be more then enough to keep almost any Vandenreich out of the hospital for the time being. The only threat that could come here was a General and Asmoskon didn't think that one of them would reveal themselves so soon after the death of the Emperor.

So for the next two days Asmoskon laid in his hospital bed doing his best to recover. One of the members in the squad was a decent enough medic though and while the doctors did their best with medicine from the human world Asmoskon kept the girl constantly using his medical prowess to increase the rate of his healing. At least once every hour for five minutes he had the girl utilize the green aura over his wounds in order to make sure that he could get well as soon as possible. It didn't take long and now waking up on the third day Asmoskon didn't feel really any pain in his body. He felt discomfort and irritation for sure, but not really pain and most of the signs he had of damage were now gone.

Now as Hotaru walked into the hospital room she would instantly see Asmoskon. However, he wasn't in the hospital gown right now all he was wearing were a pair of loose fitting black pants. He didn't have shoes or socks on and nothing covering his shirt. His Quincy cross was on the table along with everything else including his eye patch. What Hotaru might find to be the most surprising thing though might not even be the fact that Asmoskon had a rather large assortment of tattoos on his body now, but instead that his upper body was incredible muscular.

He was actually upside down as she walked in holding himself straight up with his hands on the floor doing a hand stand with just his right arm. Hotaru from behind him would see that he had a massive tattoo on his back that looked like some kind of special circle with a bunch of other designs in it. She would see the lines that moved over his forearms and down his fingers. Asmoskon was concentrating though and didn't realize Hotaru had been the one that just opened the door so he continued to execute push ups upside down with his dominate hand.

That was when Asmoskon stopped and his head moved downwards and he looked back seeing Hotaru there at the doorway. It would be as if he was a spring not even bound by logic as he suddenly pushed himself from the floor and curling himself into a ball and spinning backwards towards her. Asmoskon moved at more then half Hotaru's own maximum speed as he soared towards her. He suddenly stopped though landing right in front of her his feet on the ground and his bare chest covered in sweat almost pressing against her face. He lifted his hands bringing them to her cheeks and suddenly just like that took her lips to his own pulling her against his body as his hands moved down her body halting at her hips. "There's my sexy firefly."

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru walked into the room, expecting to have to deal with the people that Asmoskon had called to secure the building. She wasn't expecting to see Asmoskon training, with only pants on. She walked in, saw him training and just stared at him. It was only three days and he was able to bounce back much faster than she thought he could, which was a nice surprise. She then noticed all of the tattoos on his body now. He had definitely been busy while they were apart. Though, she honestly didn't care about those. The man she loved was back, and that was all that mattered to her.

When he finally realized that it was her, he spun backwards, in a ball, towards her. Hotaru chuckled to herself, thinking that he was just showing off now. She wasn't that agile, but it was interesting to see others that had that kind of agility use it like that. He landed right in front of her and did something that she wasn't expecting. He moved his hands to her cheeks and kissed her. She closed her eyes and she felt herself get pulled against him, which didn't bother her at all. She pressed into the kiss, moving her hands to his shoulders while his moved to her hips. When he said his compliment, she smiled.

"If I would've had my way, I never would have left your side. But, you and I both know I couldn't do that, so I came here first thing this morning. I'm glad to see that you're feeling better. You healed much quicker than I thought you would. It's nice to have my sexy archer back with me." She smiled up at him and pressed her lips against his again. They were close enough that it was easy to do that. She kissed him, letting him know how much she missed him. She just hoped what she said his people already knew about.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

The soft sensation of Hotaru's lips pressed against his was one that Asmoskon hadn't felt in months. It wasn't like all of the other girls that he had been with over the span of time that the two had been apart. While many of the girl had been breathe taking and incredible beautiful along with fabulous kissers there was just something about doing it with Hotaru that caused chills to run along Asmoskon's spine. The only thing he could compare it too was either the sensation of ones hair standing up on edge or when someone got incredible scared.

It mattered not Hotaru and him were once again together and for some reason this brought about his happiness once again. He realized during his short time of relaxation and recovery that Hotaru had been the cause of everything horrible that happened along with his own despair. Now that all of that had been cleared up he was a more powerful individual and wiser for everything that happened. He could now continue his life and live without ever even thinking of taking his beloved firefly for granted. As her hands wrapped around his shoulders he grinned biting down on her lower lip a bit then pulling away and putting his forehead against hers as she spoke.

"Of course you have your duty. Just as I have mine which is why I had to rush along my recovery." Asmoskon suddenly grinned widely in a playful manner as he starred into Hotaru's eyes and moved his face passed her stopping with his lips right next to her left ear. Everything that he was doing was going towards him suggesting something incredible sexual especially due to the fact he was holding her hips at the moment rather tightly and her body was pressed against his own. "You sure about that. I distinctly remember you saying I could smell pretty awful after working out for long period of time." Asmoskon pulled back and began to laugh a bit allowing the fact that his chest was covered in sweat to sink in for Hotaru.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Feeling Asmoskon's lips on hers again was something that she had always dreamed of. While she was trying to search out for him, she would always dream of the time they had together. She would always think of the first kiss that they ever shared together. She had wanted to see him so bad, she couldn't wait for him to call her and once they started talking. Once he let slip how much he had started to like her, she smiled back and just went in for the kiss. She didn't truly understand the feelings going through her body then, but she did now.

The feeling of his kisses didn't change, but they had become somewhat addicting. Once she kissed him, she never wanted to stop kissing him. She felt the electricity jolt all through her body while they're lips were pressed together. She enjoyed every second of it. She felt him smile and the tugging on her lower lip while they parted made her smile as well. When he pressed his forehead against hers, she was in complete happiness. She had missed this with him. She did plan on having a talk with him so they can work it out more, but it was at a good point now.

He spoke, saying that he had to rush his recovery because of his duty as well. She just didn't understand how he got so healthy so quickly. Unless, with his heart at ease, his body was able to finally rest and heal like it should've. She pressed her nose against his, continuing to listen to him. When his lips moved towards her left ear, a slight blush covered her face. She glanced at him while he spoke of his sweatiness. He teased, about saying how he remembered her saying he smelled awful when he worked out. "I will deal with the smell as long as you're here with me, Asmoskon. How did you heal so quickly and where are the men you had here? I assume you dismissed them when you felt better?" She said this in his right ear, moving her arms down to his hips to hold him close.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Asmoskon smiled while Hotaru spoke and then eventually asked him where all of his people were now that he was healed and she didn't see any of them. Asmoskon pulled back and actually brought his right hand up to the side of his head rubbing the side of his hair while his right eye was kept shut. He was smiling while trying to think up an answer for her. That was when all of a sudden a tiny figure suddenly just seemed to soar right into the room through one of the open windows. It was a small girl with purple hair wearing some sort of black outfit. Just as she was half way across the room she suddenly had a giant hammer in her hands and swung downwards on Asmoskon from behind. "I've finally got you Major!"

Asmoskon's expression went from the happy clueless one he had on to one of stern resolve as soon as the girl seemed to fly into the room. He spun around on his heels and just as the hammer was being brought down on him he brought his right hand upwards and punched the hammer. Hotaru would hear the sound as if the hammer and his fist were two massive stones being smashed against one another. The hammer cracked a moment later though and the girl was flung back outside the hospital room from the same window she jumped in from. "Major you asshole!" Asmoskon walked over to the window closing it. "Little shit always going for a sneak attack."

He walked over to Hotaru now and picked her up easily by her waist with his right arm. He closed the door of the room with his left and carried her with his right while he walked over to the bed. It took a few seconds until both of them could sit down and Asmoskon could speak. "Well the thing is while I was working out I gave all of my subordinates a break so they could do whatever. The problem is anyone who trains under me normally becomes obsessed with trying to defeat me. As for how I got better so quickly I had one of my subordinates heal me over the last couple days."

"Enough of that though none of it's important at the moment. The only thing I think important here is" Asmoskon leaned inward pulling Hotaru onto his lap his mouth moving to her ear again. "We start making up for all the lost time together." Asmoskon's hands began to wonder over Hotaru gripping her hips and slowly pulling off clothing while his lips kept her from speaking. Asmoskon in all honestly didn't give a crap about the hospital staff walking in and seeing anything the only thing he was ready to shoot someone about was his own subordinates.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

He smiled at her while he was trying to think of an answer. He moved his right hand to the side of his head, rubbing it while he was trying to answer. Hotaru narrowed her eyes at him. There was definitely something that he wasn't telling her. He was being cute about it, but he obviously did that on purpose. Why would he need to think about how to answer if he wasn't hiding anything from her. Obviously things changed, since he's working for an organization. She didn't want any secrets between them, so she planned on asking him about this later.

It was around that time she felt someone and then saw them come from the open window. Hotaru was still holding onto Asmoskon before this girl yelled at him, that she got him and called him Major. She raised an eyebrow and before she could do anything, he quickly turned around and punched at the weapon she was weilding, which turned out to be a giant hammer. The sound was incredible and just after a second, the hammer started to crack. It seemed that her archer had gotten much stronger since she had seen him last.

She watched the girl fly through the window, cursing him all the way. He ran over to shut the window, cursing her for trying to sneak up on him. She walked him walked towards her and before she could say much, he picked her up with his right arm. She was just hanging in his arm, a little dumbstruck. She watched him shut the door to his room and then gently put her down on the bed so they were both sitting on the bed. It seemed that one of his subordinates was a healer, and helped him to heal in three days and since he was working out, he gave them a break.

It made sense. When he said that that wasn't important, she felt herself get pulled onto his lap, where she smiled. He whispered in her ear again that he wanted to make up for lost time. Hearing his voice and feeling his breath on her ear sent shivers down her spine. He then pressed his lips against her and felt his hands wander. She closed her eyes and missed times like this with him. She let herself go and enjoyed some private time with Asmoskon for hours, enjoying every single minute of it. She found herself still on the bed the next day.

She didn't even remember falling asleep, but when she woke, she looked down. She smiled again, seeing Asmoskon's arms wrapped around her. They weren't tight, but close enough to where she wasn't going to move and she felt completely secure and content. She was able to turn in his arms and saw he was still fast asleep. She lightly kissed him on the lips and snuggled into his arms more, putting her hands on his naked chest. She was going to wait till he woke up and then they would definitely need to talk about what's happened.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Hours upon hours of sending quality time with his beloved was something that at one point had been a normal occurrence. Yet that had been some months ago and since then he had been spending the same type of time with many other females. None of them brought the same warm feeling that Hotaru did. It was after everything was finished that Asmoskon laid down on his back with Hotaru on his chest already asleep. Asmoskon closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep peacefully after so much torment.

The next thing he knew he felt something incredible soft press against his lips and his eyes opened suddenly from his slumber. Asmoskon had developed the safe guard needed to awaken if anything more then the wind blew across his body. So now as his eyes burst open he saw that Hotaru was kissing him and from what he could gather she must have just awoken from her own peaceful slumber. The both of them were bare yet hidden under the white sheet of the hospital bed. Squeezing her tight suddenly Asmoskon grinned down at Hotaru.

"Well good morning there firefly. What's my gorgeous purple haired beauty feel like doi." Just as he was starting to flirt with Hotaru after awakening to find her laying on him the door to the hospital room opened. "Major I think it best that we start to. . ASMOSKON! WHAT THE FUCK!" Screaming in rage was the healer that Asmoskon had brought up to Hotaru yesterday. A tall amber haired female that looked to be a few years older then Asmoskon himself. She closed the door and began to stomp her way over to the bed. "Asmoskon I told you stop sleeping with every dumb founded skank on the planet."

"SUE! Be quiet for two seconds." Asmoskon stared at her seriously while holding Hotaru down against his chest. He really didn't want to watch Hotaru freak out and start beating the crap out of his most loyal subordinate. "What's it going to be this time? Pretty sure the only excuse you can tell me now that you haven't already is this one raped you." Sue pointed at Hotaru staring at her angrily not knowing who she was and to annoyed to actually sense that it was a Shinigami. "Sue don't make me repeat myself. This is Hotaru."

Just like that is was like a giant weight had hit Sue on the top of her head. Her angry gaze disappeared and one of total shame replaced it. In truth Sue was the only subordinate that knew of Hotaru and that hadn't been from Asmoskon blathering about it at first. She was a healer for a reason and in truth the only reason why Asmoskon hadn't died during the despair of being betrayed. Until he had gone missing from Xcution Sue had been accessing his condition physically and mentally almost everyday trying her best to keep him from ending himself. Trying to gather what little pride she could Sue stood straight and turned around making her way to the door. "Fine do as you will, but I'm taking the others and returning to head quarters."

"Understood you may leave just make her everyone keeps up their training." Asmoskon grinned knowing that for once he actually had won against her. After the door closed and Sue was gone he looked back down at Hotaru and something actually came to the front of his mind. He had seen Hotaru take something off from her neck yesterday and now looking to the side he was assured that everything was in the right order. "Sorry about that. She means well just sometimes she's more hot headed then me."

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

When Hotaru pressed her lips against Asmoskon's, she was a little bit surprised that his eyes flew open so quickly. It was obvious that he had been trained to wake up now from the lightest of noises or sensations. Oh well, it was no big deal to her. It would just make certain things a little less exciting. When he saw her though, she saw his eyes soften, he kissed her back and squeezed her tighter to him. Once they broke apart from their kiss, Asmoskon grinned at her and she smiled back at him. It seemed that he couldn't stop smiling, which made her happy.

Asmoskon was starting to talk, asking her what she wanted to do that day. Before he finished his question, however, she heard the hospital door open. She looked towards the door, moving a sheet up a little bit higher on her to make sure that she was covered, but not leaving Asmoskon's body. She had waited too long to feel it to just leave his protection so easily. She started to speak and then cursed when she saw the scene out before her. Hotaru stared at this woman quietly. She wasn't embarrassed. She was more annoyed that she didn't bother to knock, but to just enter on her own.

When she said that he was told to stop sleeping with every dumb 'skank' on the planet, Hotaru looked over and glared at him. What in the hell was she talking about? Asmoskon tried to silence her, but that didn't stop her. Hotaru felt Asmo holding her down to her chest. She didn't feel the need to immediately go after this woman, but it was getting to the point that she was going to beat her, especially after she said that the only excuse he hasn't used yet was that she raped him. RAPED HIM?! Oh, she was angry now. She was pushing against his arm at that point.

How dare she think of her in that way! Though, once he told this Sue woman that she was Hotaru, she was immediately silenced. She saw shame color her features while Hotaru glared at this woman. She then spoke about business and once Asmoskon answered her, he was smiling. Hotaru didn't understand but before she left the room, Hotaru was going to add in her two cents. "If you EVER call me a skank again, I will make you regret with the worse pain imaginable. You will NOT talk to me like that EVER AGAIN!"

She shut the door and Hotaru felt a little bit better about that. Asmoskon then started to apologize to her, just saying that she was hot headed. Hotaru glared at him. "What did she mean by you sleeping with every 'skank' on the planet? What really happened while we were apart? I already told you what I did, looked for you when I could and drank my troubles away to the point where I have a fairly high alcohol tolerance. You have told me nothing about what you've done. You have subordinates now, and that one thought I was a skank. I want no secrets between us. You tell me everything....NOW."
