Shura slipping into his arms (well, one arm right now, if he wanted to be technical) felt like two puzzle pieces being fitted next to each other. She was the one coming back to him, and yet, he was feeling like he’d just come home. He savoured the taste of her lips on his, and smiled at her more widely than he ever did smile at anyone, even despite the discomfort of having his limp arm stuck between them as he pulled her closer.

“For a bit?” he asked, a hint of playfulness in his voice as he brushed her bangs to the side to press his lips against her forehead. “I shudder to think what will happen when you have to leave for a long time.” He was joking, of course; he knew Shura had felt the difficulty of their temporary parting just as heavily as he had. Sometimes, he still marveled at what they had, even after she’d promised him all of her life – that, at one point, all he’d wanted to do was get away from her, and now, he didn’t want to be apart for longer than half a day. He kissed her again, this time on her cheek, and then on the tip of her nose; this, too, was something only she saw, the openly affectionate side of the otherwise closed-off Okumura Yukio.

He pulled away a little when she spoke again, to glance down at his arm, then back up at her, a rueful smile on his mouth. “Nobody; it was somewhat of an accident.” His smile widened a little. “As a matter of fact, if you want to know, I quite literally tripped over a small rock.” Of course, what he wasn’t saying was that at the time he was firing at two completely berserk Leapers, while also trying to get one of his students out of harm’s way.

Shura couldn’t explain how she felt with his kisses showering her face, it was a strange mix of vulnerable and being at home. Two feelings she normally repressed, but with him, he always made her safe. Yukio was the only one who could make her feel like this. She pursed her lips and raised an eyebrow at his answer-- he was normally very cautious of his surroundings, how could he trip and injure himself so much? With a small sigh, she took his word for truth, it annoying her slightly in the back of her mind. “Try and be a bit more careful walkin’ ‘round then,” She kissed him on the tip of nose.

Taking her arms from around his neck, she felt for his hand on his good arm, intertwining her fingers with his. She lifted up his hand and kissed his knuckles, looking for any bruises that would hint he’d been in some kind of fight. “Haven’t been too bored while I was gone, I hope~” Shura leaned up to kiss him again, then once more, then two times more. “I know ya probs had so much fun with ya paperwork an’ stuff~ Which reminds me!” She jumped just a bit in place, an excited smile on her face. “I actually did som’a m’ paperwork while gone!”

Shura withdrew her hand and made way for the door immediately, opening it and passing through, though she held it for him. She had some manners. Arthur seemed so confident, not at all worried he wouldn’t get the job, either he was the most cocky man she’d met (and she’d met plenty of cocky men), or he knew he’d get the job through other means. She would be keeping her eye on him for a bit, something about him was too cunning for her liking.

“Right, ‘m sure ya are,” Now that he was working there, she could mess with him. Losing an employee because of her attitude was something that had happened before, so she was sure to watch her tone, but if he really wanted this job, he’d stay. I wonder how far I can push ‘em on his first day. Shura was great with breaking people, if he could withstand her blows, something really was sketchy about him.

“Since yer here late, ‘m gonna go ‘head an’ escort ya to yer workin’ area.” She made sure to walk a few steps ahead of him, precaution should anyone important pop out and they need her to protect them. Placing a hand on her hip, she switched off her mic and motioned with her other hand to doors they passed. “Yer gonna start rather high up, so yer real fuckin’ lucky. Yer gonna hav’ plenty a paper work to start on!”

[angelicpaladin-blog]

He followed along briskly, slowing his pace so he could still follow her, even with his legs and stride longer than hers. He smiled behind her, confident and cool, not even the slightest traces of sweat on him.

“Indeed I am,” he affirmed. “I hardly knew I was late, so far as I knew this was about the time people show up. If anything, perhaps the time you took for the interview could be excused, given I wasn’t very well late until you just declared me such,” he pointed out smugly. He followed along, walking through doors she opened. Normally he would have held them open, as she was a lady, but she seemed to be the type to want to punch him out if he tried.

“I have no issues with my position, paperwork or not. Part of the work here, am I right?”

[devour-the-seven-princesses-blog]

She held her namecard to the door of the elevator, it opening so the two of them could step inside. “Nah, not much is an excuse here. If ya showed up late with half yer body chopped off, we’d prob’ly count ya late an’ half present.” Shura’s own joke caused her boisterous laughter to surface, and she pressed the fourteenth level button. As the doors closed and the elevator began to move, she leaned against the wall, eyeing him up and down out of curiosity.

“So Angel~, why haven’t I met ya before? I’ve been t’ all the businesses on yer resume an’ never seen ya, kinda--” She was cut short by the elevator slowing and the doors opened to two men in suits. They straightened their posture at the sight of Shura as one spoke.

“Miss Kirigakure, my apol-”

Shura pressed the button for the doors to close and they continued to ascend. “As I was sayin’, it’s kinda weird. They all pay so well too,” She leaned up and stood face to face with him, though she was a bit shorter than him. “Ya see ‘m kinda th’ security person ‘round here, so I gotta make sure ev’ryone is who they say they are, an’ no one is pullin’ any slick bullshit.” She raised an eyebrow at him, trying to read any expression on his face. “Maybe yer fake, maybe yer not an’ ‘m overly suspicious. Doesn’t hurt t’ be cautious, Angel~”

He simply sat back and watched the emotions play over her face. He was good at that, and honestly, she was pretty easy to read, as compared to others he had needed to read over in the course of his life. The blond smirked inwardly, letting her play out her response.

“Lucky me,” he repeated smoothly. He made no comment on her teasing tone, it was only his last name. Or so she now believed. He stood up and clasped her hand with the warm, firm grip of a businessman. “Happy to join in the service alongside you, I look forward to forming a strong working relationship with you and all of the other employees here, Miss Kirigakure.”

Shura withdrew her hand and made way for the door immediately, opening it and passing through, though she held it for him. She had some manners.

“I have connections within the industry, though I’m afraid I can’t divulge any names. My connections are as prone to keeping things hushed as the employers here are.” As to all of her questions, he simply chuckled. He had dealt with worse, honestly. He was hardly even ruffled.

“I pride myself in being very diverse in my skill set. I have expansive knowledge of over 10 languages, I know very well how to deal with people, I would be most happy being placed as an interpreter to foreign companies in order to keep communications on dealings smooth and, insulted as I may be that you might insinuate I would come without one, my resume is right here.” He claped crisply a thick stack of papers onto her desk, still all smiles and cool posture upright like a board.

Angel’s chuckle earned a small scowl from her, his lack of annoyance at her questions somewhat-- annoying. Questioning a business man’s ability was a quick way to get on their nerves, yet he didn’t seemed fazed. He even found it amusing that she was trying to irk him. So he did have connections in the company, that would either earn him respect or more suspicion, she wasn’t sure yet which one.

As soon as his resume hit her desk, she snatched it up and began to look through it. Shura raised an eyebrow, intrigued by how amazing his resume was. She kept silent, hiding her face behind his resume as she reread it, looking for anything odd or suspicious. Everything seemed just as he’d said. A history with being an interpreter for foreign relations in large companies, he had amazing recommendations from some of the businesses near here. What was odd was how she’d never come in contact with him before. She kept that in mind.

“Hmmmm~” She hummed from behind the papers before shutting it and tossing it back at him, it landing in his lap. “Ya seem capable,” Shura leaned to her shoulder, as if speaking into a mic. “Whaddya think?” There was silence as she touched her ear, listening to the small speaker in her ear. She stayed like that for a bit longer, even after one of her supervisors stopped speaking, hoping to put a bit of anxiety into this new guy. 

“Must be yer lucky day, Angel~” That would be a fun nickname for her. “M’ supervisor thinks yer interestin’ and could be of advantage t’ th’ company!” Shura hopped up from her seat, the chair smacking loudly onto the ground on all four legs. She reached her hand out over the desk for a handshake. “Yer gonna be workin’ under me fer a bit, I always keep an eye on th’ new kids.” There was a loud noise from her ear and she cringed slightly. “New employee. They don’ like it when I call ‘em kids.” She grinned. “ So rude ‘a me fer not introducin’ m’self. The name is Kirigakure Shura, ya can call me Miss Kirigakure.”

Even thought he smiled at her, she only scowled back, taking her phone from the inner pocket of her suit jacket. She took her eyes off of him for a second to scroll through the schedule of the day. A clear day, huh? “Yer the only one here, ‘d there is no one else on th’ schedule.” Shura stuffed her phone back in her pocket and motioned her him to follow her. “This way Mr. Angel,” She couldn’t help but snicker as she said it. “Guess yer gonna be interview by me.”

She led him to a side hallway and held up her nametag to a small metal spot beside the door, a green light flashing before she opened the door. A name card was the only way to get inside any of the rooms inside the business. Shutting the door behind her, she motioned to a plush chair on one side of the desk as she took her seat on the opposite side.

“Why d’ya wanna work here?” Let the interview begin.

[angelicpaladin-blog]

“Ah, perfect, then,” he smiled, ignoring her non-verbal jab at his name. He was used to such things, really. And what did it matter that she did so as well? Not like it mattered much. He followed her down the hallway, brisk and healthy stride, and seated himself at the edge of the chair. He liked to be sitting up straight for negotiations and such.

“I have heard that this facility has both a wonderful staff along with plentiful pay and benefits to live a comfortable life, along with the capacity of the work making it easier to get on with the pace.”

[devour-the-seven-princesses-blog]

Shura leaned back in her chair so that only two legs were on the floor and she set her boots on the desk. His answer was vague, though true, the pay was lush and benefits more so. She made mental notes on what he said, along with his great posture. “How’d ya hear we were hirin’?” They weren’t very public with what they were doing, they would have needed to know someone in the company, or just chosen a lucky time.

“Also, what’re ya abilities, hm? What could ya offer this company skills wise? Why would we choose ya, a random guy who came in? D’ya got a resume? Where would ya wanna put yerself in this company?” Trying to get on their nerves was her favorite part.

“Arthur Angel, I’m here for a job interview. I expect if there’s a list or a schedule of visitors, I shall be on it,” he said confidently. He still smiled radiantly at the woman on guard duty, making it clear his lack of intimidation despite her glare and obvious suspicion.

Even thought he smiled at her, she only scowled back, taking her phone from the inner pocket of her suit jacket. She took her eyes off of him for a second to scroll through the schedule of the day.

The sky was clear and blue as the blond approached the tall, window-covered building. So, here he was, so try and get this job. Get in, do what was desired by the company, and then submit his leave. Easy.

He spotted a woman on his way in and, as was his custom, he tried to greet her politely.

“Good day, miss,” he smiled charmingly.

[devour-the-seven-princesses-blog]

Shura was fixing her tie in her reflection on the marble counter top before someone spoke to her. She straightened her posture and eyed the man down suspiciously, as was her job as the guard of this business. There were other guards but she was the head of them, it was her job to make sure everything was in order and The Boss was protected.

“Who are ya?” There was no time for pleasantries. He seemed normal, something weird in his charm, but she was surprised he managed to look professional with such long hair. “What’re ya here for?”

Yukio couldn’t sleep.

This in itself wasn’t a foreign experience, or even something that didn’t happen often. However, this time it had a different reason than the usual restlessness which had, some time ago, developed into actual insomnia. Tonight, it was his injury bothering him. He just couldn’t find a comfortable position – eventually he’d given up, deciding to catch up on grading papers from his students at the Cram School.

This, too, turned out to be a bothersome task. Yukio was ambidextrous when it came to shooting; few but the late Paladin and perhaps a small handful of others in the Order were as brilliant shots with both hands as Yukio was. When it came to writing, however… well, let’s just say he could hardly have been more irritated that he had to write with his left hand. His signature was as good as an unintelligible scrawl; it was a surprise he could even write check marks and circles on the tests he was correcting. He had been slammed against a rock on a mission a week or so ago, and broke his upper arm, now the whole of it fixed in a sling that held it firmly to his side.

He wasn’t sure when Shura would finally be back; she hadn’t told him anything except ‘later this month’. So when he heard the apartment door open, his first thought wasn’t her – which was why his knee-jerk reaction was to reach for his gun lying on the table. Then he heard her voice, though, and he relaxed, his chest feeling like it was expanding with sudden happiness he didn’t remember when he’d last felt.

“Shura!” he called out, grabbing for the chair’s arm with his good hand to push himself to his feet. Suddenly, his injury was, if possible, even more annoying than before – because he wanted nothing more than to embrace his lover, and, well, he was going to have to do a half job.

[devour-the-seven-princesses-blog]

The sound of Yukio’s voice caused a smile to cross her face that hadn’t been seen since she last saw him. Shura dropped her bags and ran to his small office space, the sight of his arm in a sling making her smile drop just a bit. She slowed her pace to a quick walk so she could carefully slip her arms around his waist, taking care as to not disturb his arm much. Burying her face in his chest, she took a deep breath, taking in this moment of her arrival.

“I missed ya a lot,” She murmured into his chest before lifting her head up so she could give him a quick kiss on the lips. Her eyes moved to his injured arm before looking back up to him, her smile slightly fading. Of course Yukio could take care of himself, and injuries were a common part of their job, but it still worried her when she saw him hurt.

Shura had her own few injuries while gone, bruises and scrapes, all nearly healed by now. That was her though, Yukio being injured was far more important. She moved her arms from around his waist to around his neck, and she tilted her head to the side. “Jeez, ‘m gone fer just a bit an’ yer all beat up?” She was just teasing, since she’d been gone for far more than ‘just a bit’, and she knew he was capable of taking care. 

“Who do I gotta beat up?” The Knight smiled again and gave him a quick kiss on the nose.

So much to return to. She hoped.

That wasn’t a very positive thought, but Shura couldn’t help the worry that slowly crept across her mind. A lot of things could go wrong in a year, she’d dealt with her fair amount of fighting and stress on her journies, she only hoped to return to a calmer place. It would be a rare treat to her. She’d heard of some discord in True Cross, which could have meant too many things for her to assume what it wa. Again, information was witheld from her until she’d get on campus. At least there she had her job as a teacher, mentoring aspiring teens into Exorcists. Whatta thrillin’ job. That wasn’t the only thing waiting for her there. Shura brought her right hand to her left one, feeling for her engagement ring before letting out a small comforted sigh.

Here she had a fiancé waiting for her as well. It had been for too long since she’d seen his face. Texts and calls were sparse, they were both busy Exorcists, trying to keep their job in order on each side of the telephone. Seeing him in person though, face-to-face, it would make up for all that time spent away from each other.

Shura quietly unlocked the door, checking her phone for the time. 2:35 a.m. It seemed like a perfect time to barge in. She doubted he was actually sleeping, he was most likely still up doing paperwork, or some other responsible thing that he did. However, if he was asleep, the sound her boot made colliding with the door would be enough to wake him up.

“Honey~! ‘M hoo~oo~me~!” Her voice would have done the trick also. Dragging along her few heavy bags, she managed to make it through the doorway before slamming shut the door behind her. She looked around, a small pout on her lips and expectance in her eyes. “Yukio~!”

[devour-the-seven-princesses-blog]

{This is really strange, coming back after maybe almost over a year? I feel like I was in a different generation lmfao. Before the Illuminati shit even happened whoa. Could I get some reccomendations for good roleplay blogs to follow? Doesn't have to be AnE, those would be great too! I've got over 4 years of roleplay experience (two of which are Shura), I am 18, and mostly caught up w/ AnE! (Also don't mind spoilers). OC friendly, and would love to write up most things with anyone! }
