PIMP (Very Mature, Styx, Cookie and Shiro)

Closing time. Finally. Shiro dropped down on one of the bar stools. He was exhausted and hungry. Lust was sleeping inside him, he felt it and was glad to get rid of him at least for some time. Shiro hated the sin he had been given. He hated the job Lust had put him into. "I quit", Shiro spat at the barkeeper who was their panderer as well. "I'm fucking tired of doing this shit." He knew as well as the elder that he had no chance of leaving. Shiro was used to beatings and worse punishments. Lust was the one working here but if Lust did not like the clients, he just left Shiro alone with them. The ugly, the dirty, the violent, the perverts.
To make up for it, Shiro stole money from the bar. Usually nobody noticed, but sometimes they did and then he was getting punished even worse. But it was the only rebellion he could think of.

Next to him a girl sat down. She was new, had arrived today, sold off by her uncle. She had not worked yet and was probably going to get shown the ropes tonight. Poor girl. She looked as innocent as an angel - especially because she was not even afraid. She had no clue where she had been brought.

Tsuki walked into the bar with her usual air of evil intent and her eyes came to rest on Shiro, oh how she wished she could just tear his throat open and watch the blood spill, but she knew she couldn't, not yet at least "hey brat, who's the fresh meat?" she broke the silence, her gaze looming over the young girl beside him as she stalked over and placed herself at a seat, ordering her usual drink of straight vodka.


Kitsune looked up from the game of pool she was playing with herself to see Tsuki enter the bar, that girl always so full of herself, she would like nothing more then to beat her head in with the pool stick, but her master, her pimp would probably punish her so she stayed quiet and continued her game, if only she knew where that bitch was keeping her sister, then she would be free from this nightmare

Styx slammed oversized shot glass down in front of Tsuki, it's was filled with the worst kind of Vodka he had. Once the bar was closed off to the public the good booze was locked away, Tsuki was also mouthy so denying her was also satisfying. He had bought the bar from the previous owner without having much of a plan after that. Running a business was not easy and after not breaking even one month he decided to get supplemental income.

He walked over to the sink behind the bar and started washing the used mugs and glasses, listening to the complaints of the boy Shiro. Styx rolled his eyes at the 'I quit' garbage he had heard a dozen times before, the could leave but he would just come back. The Barkeep was not really sure why the kid returned, one minute he was all for being used and the next it was 'I cant take this shit any more' it was frustrating. Of course he did put the kid through hell, the clients that wanted shiro were really sick fucks or sick in Styx's eyes.
"You say that but you don't mean it, you'll leave and in maybe a day or two you'll come crawling back because out there you are nothing he said scowling at the boy before turning back to his more mundane task.

His side job was slowly becoming the bar and not the sex trade. He had taken in two more girls in the last month, discretion was getting more difficult. Local law-enforcement who did not visit his employees were beginning to poke around more and more. Perhaps he could put Tsuki to better use as an enforcer, he found this life difficult sometimes.

"Fuck you", Shiro spat at Styx and got up. One day he was going to leave for good. He just had to get rid of the sin... At least he had a room here. He had to share it with all the others but at least he had a room. And if he was up there first he could choose were to sleep. However, when his eyes met the new girl's, Shiro stopped. "What's with her? She going to stay?", he asked. Noticing some coins a customer had left Shiro tried to slip one or two unnoticed so he could buy himself some better food later. What they got served here was not even good for stray dogs.

Sumi just sat on the stool she had been left at and waited for something to happen. Something to talk to her and not only about her. She had no idea where she was or what she was supposed to do or how long she was going to stay. But these people did not seem to be nice...

Tsuki glared distastefully at the liquid in the glass, she had realised that over her time here the barkeeper had grown to incredibly dislike her and had opted for displeasing her in anyway he could "so, am I allowed to kill the girl or is she a new recruit?" Tsuki enquired, looming over the girl with an evil glint in he eye, it had been such a long time since she had had her fun with a little child. Her life had been rather weird latly, she wasn't sure why she even stayed really, I mean the pay was good.. For her at least.
Kitsune placed down the pool stick and wandered over to Tsuki and the gang with fire in her eyes, she was pissed that Tsuki had even suggested such a thing as harming the girl and so crouched down in front of her with a kind smile. "don't listen to that mean old witch her bark is worse then her bite" Kitsune glared up at Tsuki who was muttering something along the lines of "want a bet" and scowled, before looking back at the young child "I'm Kitsune, do you have a name?"

He did not appreciate the lip he got from shiro, tonight might put that mouth of his to good use. Styx was not particularly cruel in the treatment of his employees, the were paid for the service they provided. Lodging was provided so long as they satisfied the clientele, food however was not. Styx was not a great cook, easy stuff like peanuts and plain potatoe chips were kept in stock, he really needed to find a cook who liked the cock. 

The blond shook his head in answer to Tsuki's question. " no you can't kill the girl, she is going to be working here though what I'll have her do is still iffy" he replied giving Tsuki a sideways glance. His attention shifted to Fox whom had been nothing but trouble since her sister set fire to his roof. Styx demanded the girl work off her debut, Kitsune elected to take her place. "Fox show the girl to the living quarters, then take her to the bath house while I think about her place in the fold" Styx said setting the last shot glass in a cupboard, he looked at Tsuki then at shiro. 'send ninja to kill the police but what shall I do with the boy?' he thought whilst rubbing down the counter. 

Shiro got up and slapped the back of Tsuki's head - mostly because he was frustrated but also because of her rude comment about the new girl. "Leave her alone, bitch", he grumbled, letting the coins he managed to grab slide into his pocket. He was a thief, after all, what else was he supposed to do.

Sumi looked at Kitsune with wide eyes, that other girls comment had really scared her. Where was she anyways and what was going to happen to her? She immediately liked the girl, whom the man had called Fox. She was the only one talking to Sumi directly, thus providing her with at least a little comfort. "What are you all doing here? What is this place?", Sumi asked, her quiet, shy voice barely more than a whisper towards Fox.

Shiro stared at Sumi for a moment, then shook his head. This girl had no clue. She seemed like a newborn baby, her eyes wide and questioning and curious. Looking over his shoulder at the remaining coins on the counter, Shiro considered taking more of them, despite the risk of being seen. Leaning against the counter casually he tried to hide a few coins below his elbow, to slide them forward later when he would be moving.

Tsuki snarled when Shiro hit her and quickly grabbed him by the throat and pinned him down on the counter with him leaning over it on his back "how would you like to be castrated Brat, WITHOUT PAINKILLERS!" she snarled and picked him up only to slam him down again and grab a painful grip of his genitals, she could really be sadistic when she wanted to. Shiro should know not to mess with her no matter how mad he was at her. Tsuki pressed her face up close to his "and put the coins back Brat before I actually decided to follow through on my threat" and with that comment she dug her nails into his sensitive area sharply, not leaving permanant damage but making sure it was painful enough to make him wince at the very least.

Kitsune sighed and ignored Tsuki and Shiro instead foucusing on the girl, she knew the barkeeper would handle them. Kitsune had found that if you treated kids like an adult they often happened to surprise you "come on sweetie, lets go and get you cleaned up" She said kindly offering her hand to the young child, not knowing her name yet she just decided to call her whatever came into her head at the time. she could bearly hear the girls question and so was sure that no one else had heard it "hmm, I guess you could call us a rather dysfunctional family of sorts" she admitted with a laugh even though she did NOT consider any of them family, it just seemed like the easyest to explain to such an innocent girl "and this place is a temporary lodgings of sorts" Kitsune was finding this had to explain to such a young mind but was trying her best.

Why did he keep these two around Styx thought as he put away the tips from tonight. Shrio was an idiot whom seemed to have a death wish. The boy should know better than to enrage Tsuki whom was psychotic. Since Tsuki was in fact a psycho bitch Styx thought it better to have her with him than against him. "Tsuki let the boy go, Shiro has his uses" Styx said coolly to them both.

He pulled a slip of paper out of his pocket and set it down in front of Shiro. The boy could have his wish, he could leave THE STYX. As the whispers of his services spread wealthy clients became interested, yet they could not visit for fear of jeopardizing their image. A wealthy business man had requested that THE STYX run the bar for a Private party. The word private had the code in it, the T was written as a + symbol. "Your crossing the boarder into the land of rivers tomorrow morning, instructions on how to get there can be found in the note. Tsuki you will be ensuring Shiro gets there unharmed You'll also make sure we are paid in full and if the client refuses well you know the drill" Styx said with a sly smile.

When Tsuki grabbed him by the throat, a sudden rush of panic rolled through Shiro's body. He hated being unable to breathe and she knew that too well. His fingernails scratched hopelessly over her hand, trying to get it off his throat while she talked. Being slammed down onto the counter Shiro groaned breathlessly, then winced and hissed sharply when she grabbed his testicles. He did as she said, putting the coins back. Cussing her silently Shiro wondered how she had noticed.
"Bitch", he hissed, when finally he was released, thanks to Styx, who gave them a job to do. "Land of Rivers?", Shiro asked, frowning. Jobs so far away were never good. Never. He was going to be left alone with a client and her. If his weird kinks did not tear his body, she would. Tsuki would just say the man had done it, not her. If Shiro needed help during his job, he was definitely not going to get it from Tsuki.
"Why don't you send the new girl?", he attempted weakly, his voice thinner than he had wished for. However, Shiro knew better than to complain. Things would only get worse for him if he did not do his job. After all, this was still better than what he had to do for his former patron.

Sumi liked the girl's voice, it was soft and comforting and she followed her, away from the two men and the evil girl, who were obviously having a fight. They scared Sumi. Men did in general. But that woman, too. "Why are we all here?", Sumi asked, not understanding why she had to leave her home. She had been inside her room forever, there were so many things she did not know. "Is it going to be nice?", she asked, looking up at Fox.

Tsuki grinned mischeviously down at Shiro when she found out that she would be escorting him, as if reading his thoughts she knew that if he really pissed her off she could just blame his new injuries on the man he was meeting "oh come on brat, it'll be fun" she smirked letting him go by shoving him rather roughly back into his seat "besides, the new bitch isn't strong enough, she seems really weak" glancing over at Kitsune walking out the door she picked up a pool ball and piffed it at the back of her head as if to prove her point, she also hoped that the client didn't pay, mabey at the end of all this she would have blood on her hands, the thought brought a smile to her face.

Kitsune was already growing attached to this girl, but she was also sad that this innocent girl would soon be turned into one of them with her innocence ripped away "we're all here for different reasons Miss, you i'm not so sure about though, but don't worry i'll be here to protect you" for now she thought "and as for the niceness..." Kitsune sharply spun upon senseing something coming in fast and stuck her hand out, catching the pool ball mid-air, the impact stung her hand but she didn't show it, just regarded Tsuki with an Icy Glare that could freeze the pits of hell "the niceness depends on who you stick with" she added dropping the ball, Tsuki was the worst of them and Kitsune had decided that Tsuki's mission here had been to destroy her life, maim her... or possibly both

Kitsune walked the young girl into the bathroom and smiled down at her "you go get cleaned up, i'll go find you something clean to wear"

Styx shook his head and walked out from behind the bar. He sighed as he took notice of Tsuki's shift in demeanour, did she honestly think he would let her go alone with the boy. He knew better than that, Tsuki needed someone watching her. "Don't look so happy Tsuki I've hired someone recently he will be watching the both of you" he said cracking his knuckles. Styx gave her a lopsided smile "He'll meet you half way so try not to damage the goods Styx told her. Walked away from them making his way down to the cellar, inventory needed to be taken of the stock.

Shiro glared at Tsuki. Fun? Sure. "Loads", he replied, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Someday he would punch her in the face so hard her teeth would stick out from the other side of her head. As he had no things to pack he just waited in the bar for something to happen. They would have to kill time until tomorrow morning, unless they wanted to leave early. And Shiro did not feel like he wanted to give Tsuki extra time with him alone until their companion arrived...
Although she could probably even do things to him here, if she waited for them to be alone. Instinctively Shiro turned his head to look at Styx - who was gone.

In the meantime, Sumi was washing herself, not caring about being naked around a stranger. She had not learned about decency or shame when she was still living with her father, as the man probably had not thought she would ever leave and get to meet other people. Sumi waited for the fox girl to return. "What are you doing here? You all live here?", she asked. Being used to spending her whole life alone inside a single room, it struck her as very unusual for so many people living together in such a big building.

Tsuki scowled at the thought of someone else accompanying them, it just about shattered all her thoughts but she offered a sly smile at Shiro “What, you don’t trust me to accompany my best pal Shiro” she remarked messing the boys hair but at the same time digging her nails into his scalp hard. Once she noticed Styx leaving she smirked evilly and in the next moment Shiro was abruptly spun around and pinned to the bar table with his wrists pinned above him by one of Tsuki’s hands, his legs hanging down but not touching the ground and Tsuki’s body pressed against his. Tsuki knew that once Styx was in the cellar he would not be able to hear them and she figured that she had about twenty minutes till he returned “I’m stronger, faster and smarter then you Shiro” she whispered mischievously into his ear “If I wanted to, I could kill you, hide your body and destroy the evidence before those clowns returned... I could make myself look totally innocent in the process and they would be none the wiser” she had done that once before, well many times before even with people who thought they were her friends, she was a killer after all it was her job to make sure she wasn’t discovered unless she wanted to be. “I could do anything I wanted to and you wouldn’t say a word about it, because know that if you do you’ll be constantly watching your back, you’ll have to watch your every step knowing that I’ll be after you” she chuckled in his ear, her long hair framing her face and tickling the back of his neck, one of her favourite things to do was to mess with Shiro’s mind, she knew he hated her and she also knew that she could make him fear her.

Meanwhile... Kitsune had left and returned with a White summer dress she used to wear as a child, it had a v neck and short sleeves, with a light pink ribbon that tied around the waist and was flowing at the bottom so when she moved it swayed and when she spun it twirled around her, it was knee height and looked about her size “I hope you don’t mind, but this is all I could find, we’ll have to go shopping in the village later for you” she smiled and placed the dress on the counter for her along with a hairbrush. "yeah we all live here... unfortunatly" mummuring the last part under her breath, she hoped the girl hadn't heard

OOC: You two can continue on without me. Ill jump back in when the time is right

(Ok fine :3)

Shiro refrained from flinching or hissing when Tsuki dug her nails into his skin but he gasped in surprise when he was suddenly spun around and found himself pressed against the bar. He knew what Tsuki said was true and he could not help but shiver at the thought of what she wanted - and could - do to him. "Let go", he hissed at her, trying hard not to show how terrified he was. He knew what people were able to do, he had been hurt in innumerable ways.
"Styx will know it was you", he added, hoping to keep her from doing anything stupid. Both of them knew Shiro was not brave enough to tell the barkeeper anything. Tsuki would get him back anyways. "Let go", he repeated, struggling against the pressure she put on his wrists.

"It's pretty", Sumi said and smiled at Kitsune. She stepped out of the water and looked around for a towel. Her face and innocent look made her seem younger than she was. The rest of her body was developed well enough to give away her age. Her hips were slim but round and breasts were firm, not exceptionally big but not too small either. Her black hair stood in harsh contrast to her pale skin. With sixteen years she was more a young woman than a girl. "What do you do here?", she asked. "How do you spend your time?"

(Okay ^&^)

Tsuki laughed menacingly in his ear "Styx is an idiot who thinks he knows how to control me, and He won't even know your dead... here's a secret you didn't know, remember the other girl who used to work here when you had just joined here, Lila i think her name was, you know how she just... Disappeared one day" she drew out her sentence ignoring his pleas for her to let him go, it only made her tighten her grip on him "Let's just say that her career took a turn to the ocean" chuckling she decided to be mischievous and lick the back of his next "And I know how you love swimming Shiro” actually she knew that he had no clue how to swim and so this threat would be very effective “so if you want to go swimming in the deepest part of the ocean, keep up with pissing me off... because every day you’re coming closer to your ‘swim.’”
Tsuki released him for a moment and walked behind the counter “Really Styx, is that the best you can do” laughing darkly as she reached under the counter and pulled out a small, hidden tape recorder, effectively crushing it in her hand “you have really got to try better than that” the Blonde dropped the smashed recorder on the bar beside Shiro’s head and quickly set it on fire, reducing all evidence of her confession to ashes.

Kitsune’s eyes studied the girls figure and it seemed to make her sadder, with a body like hers she would do very well in this particular trade, Kitsune handed her the dress, watching her put it on and then stepped forward, gesturing for her to turn around she quickly did up the waist ribbon behind her, tying it into a pretty bow. “Listen Miss, I’m going to be honest with you” she spoke as she picked up the hairbrush and started brushing her hair, making it silky and smooth to the touch “what we do here is whatever our clientele wish for us, if they can pay they can do whatever” she doubted the girl would understand but at least she didn’t like

Shiro's face went pale, he had really thought that girl simply ran away... So it had been Tsuki... Or at least so she claimed. Shiro could see how much she enjoyed scaring him. But he also saw, how much she would enjoy seeing him drown. Seeing him fight for his life with the waves of the ocean.
"What do you want from me?", he asked, glaring at her. What would he have to do to keep her from doing that to him? Too often had Shiro tried to get away from this place. Although he had always come back after running away, nobody would be surprised if one day he did not.
Suddenly she let go of and pulled something from below the counter. Shiro flinched as she crushed it before he had the chance to identify the item. By the time he realized it was a tape recorder, the small object was already burning. With a startled, half-loud scream, Shiro tried to jump off the bar, scared to see fire right next to his face. The only thing worse than the thought drowning was fire...

Sumi had no idea what Kitsue was talking about but she nodded anyways. "So we do what people want to make them happy?", she summed it up and sounded happy. It was a good thing to do, she thought. "And I will do that too? When will I start?", she asked, almost excited.
It seemed these were good people and Sumi was curious what kind of work she was going to do for the clients. What would these strangers be like? Nice people, she guessed, but sad if they needed others to make them happy. Sumi decided to work hard and do her best.

Her expression soon turned to one of amusment as she watched Shiro's reaction to the fire. Placing her hands on her hips and laughed "Shiro, Shiro, Shiro, everyday you just keep showing me new ways of how to torture you" in an instant she had picked up the flaming ball of mush and flicked it away, the fire doing nothing to her hand. "And you just keep playing the good little boy, soon enough you'll figure out what you have to do" she knew this would keep him in wait, nervous and scared just trying to figure it out and she turned around in one fluid motion to pour herself a drink of Gin.

SHe sighed and crouched down to her level, so they were face to face "you do whatever they ask of you, if they can pay the right amount that is" poor girl, knowing nothing of the darkness of mens hearts, Kitsune wasn't planning on explaining to the girl all of the facts, she would let the person who was taking her do that, but then again it most probably would be her. 'comeon sweetie, lets get back to the others" standing up beside the young girl she outstretched her hand for Sumi to take if she felt like it.

Shiro was pale and shaking, still he managed to glare at her. Oh how he despised her... Snatching the bottle from her hand as soon as she was done pouring herself a drink, Shiro just took a sip from the bottle. He did not intend giving it back. If anything helped calming his nerves now, it was alcohol. Years of experienced had taught him that much.

Sumi nodded, wondering why the fox girl seemed to be so sad. "When do I start? I don't want to make it bad", Sumi said, pressing Kitsune's hand a little to find comfort. She was nervous. Maybe these people would throw her out if she did not live up to their expectations? Sumi had nowhere to go... "I'll try really hard", she mumbled, more to herself than to the other girl.

(Sorry it's short >_<)

Acheron had know Styx for a few years now, the bar keep had bought his services for some of his seedier operations. The medical bandit knew about Whom he would be escorting and why, it didnt bother him as much as it did in the beginning. His long black hair spilled down over his leather clad shoulders, the breeze had not seemed to move it out of place. The journey to the meeting point had not taken as long as expected, the trip to the bar was a days travel at most. He wondered when his package would arrive, Shiro and Tsuki should not be to far away. 

Styx walked up from the stock room, he was scribbling things down on a note pad. The alcohol stores were doing fairly well, restocking wouldn't need to occur for some time. He was not pleased to see shiro drinking from a bottle of gin when he should have been sleeping, the boy had a long journey ahead he would need a good deal of rest. He noticed the smell of burnt plastic hung in the air, Tsuki had discovered his decoy device apparently.

Spoiler:

he said fixing Tsuki with a cold stare. She did not fear him which was foolish on her part, she should know better than to underestimate a 'foe'.

Spoiler:

Styx said with a smirk. He didn't fear Tsuki, he knew that she could end his life without breaking a sweet but Styx remained unafraid of her. He had a plan, insurance for if any of his employees went rogue and it would most certainly be unpleasant for them.

Growling under her breath she promtly snatched the liquor bottle from Shiro's hand and took a swig herself "Pay, heh with the work I do around here I can afford a measly tape recorder" she answered coily, suddenyl appearing behind the bar keeper and running a crimson coloured nail down his cheek, drawing a streak of blood matching the colour of her sharp nails "now now sweetie, why were you spying on me in the first place4" she tutted fixing Shiro with a preditory smirk, she couldn't wait for their mission to be underway.

"you'll do this buisness good" was all she said before walking back out and seeing Tsuki standing behind Styx, sighing irritably she pinced the brife of her nose with her free hand "whats your problem Tsuki, can't you go one day without offering yourself to a man?" she asked as a sly smile coated her lips, guesturing to how close Tsuki's lips were from Styx's neck. In responce Tsuki just chuckled and winked at Kitsune "oh You little Bitch, your just jelous that unlike you at least I can get a man" kissing Styx's cheek where the cut was she gracefully walked past him and seated herself down on a stool by the counter, affixing her cruel Stare on the young girl, in responce Kitsune gently moved her behind herself offering a little protection

As Tsuki Took the bottle from him and started toying with Styx, Shiro quietly slipped out of the room to his bed. If he could not drink, he would sleep. He knew he would need it, as Styx had more or less pointed out. Also, sleeping was better than worrying about what could or would happen to him on their journey. Shiro just hoped he'd get some rest and would not be plagued by nightmares. Which usually was a futile hope.

At the same time that Kitsune dragged Sumi behind her, Sumi moved to to the same, trying to hide behind her new-found friend. She was afraid of that other girl, she looked so... evil. Dangerous. It made Sumi squirm just by looking at her.
"Sir, I'm dressed now", Sumi quietly said towards Styx, who seemed to be in command, although right he had seemed to be busy with the other girl.

Tsuki came up behind him and spoke but Styx did not answer her right away, instead he elected to focus on Shiro, Sumi and Kitsune. He smiled and watched the three do their own thing while never forgetting that a psychopath was at his back. Surprisingly though it did not flinch in the least when Tsuki dragged her sharp nail across his cheek drawing blood. Tsuki and Kitsune bickered and Styx could only roll his eyes and sigh. 

He took Tsukis hand and moved it away from his face, blood trickled down his cheek. The blond bar keep looked expressionlessly at Sumi, she looked much better. The girl still needed some work but in time she would certainly bring in a great number of customers. "I can see" he said quietly moving away from Tsuki back behind the bar. He rubbed down the bar a few more times so his hands could be busy. "well get something down in your stomach and then get your self to bed" he muttered to them all.  

The snow white haired girl winked at Styx "i'd love to have something to eat but i'd prefer to eat after a killing" turning her attention to Sumi she crouched down and suprisingly blew a kiss to Sumi "night chick, hope you get lots of customers" chuckling she shrugged and stood, walking out the door of the bar without another word to go rest, she didn't want to show it but she was actually about to pass out from fatigue, but she'd never show weakness in front of them, as soon as they saw her weaker she had no doubt at least Kitsune would pounce and try and destroy her... well she could try at least.

Kitsune watched her evil rival walk away without so much as a threat or damage to fix "hmm" was all se muttered, Tsuki was never that quiet but she sighed and let it go, she was tired and wanted to sleep, she knew that she would be safe in her bedroom considering all the traps she set, it would at least give her some alarm and time to react if Tsuki tried anything "yo Styx, where is the girl going to sleep?" turnig to the girl she smiled "you know something, i havent even asked your name yet"
