Chapter 4: costumer service
As Yuki stepped into the Inn, she was greeted with odd and skeptical looks form the receptionist and some of the other visitors that were in the lobby of the Inn. Who would blame them, she had looked like that of a meat butcher that has just slaughtered a cow to be processed into beef. Blood seeming to be splashed on her clothing and skin, she form looked blood thirsty, though her eyes and actions spoke otherwise. She stood calmly in the doorway for awhile before walking slowly to the counter were the bookkeeper was seated, the woman behind the desk shrieked slightly as Yuki approached, Yuki ignored this action and asked "I'm looking for a friend of mine that's booked in this inn, could you show me her room. Her name is Ameena "
"Umm- uh-0h ah… I don't believe your friend is here. I uh don't think that anyone by that name has booked here" the receptionists shuddered quite nervously, flinching slightly. Yuki narrowed her eyes looking at the woman, she could tell she was lying, what type of customer service was this.
"Bull shit what type of customer service is this, I know she's booked here because her wagon is parked out front, that's fine ill find her room on my own." Yuki said coldly as she turned from the counter and began to head toward the rooms.
"You there, It's not polite to talk to a person that was only doing her job." a voice behind Yuki boomed casing Yuki stop in her tracks.
"Well if she knew that it's inhospitable to lie to her costumers about a simple question, I would have been more polite." Yuki retorted back to the voice. She turned slightly, side glancing the person that was behind her. It was a red haired bob cut woman dressed in a type of ninja like armor and clothing. Yuki noticed the tattoos like symbols on the woman's arms and legs, Yuki had figured the woman before her could use Runology and was an agent of Aquaria.
"You should believe what she says , the people you are looking for are not here, so there is no point going on a search in this inn for them, I suggest you leave.." the woman said crossing her arms.
"And who are you to tell me what I can do?" Yuki challenged her hand twitching slightly, ready to unsheathe her kantanas.
"Your worst nightmare if you plan on furthering your intention, these people don't want any trouble, whatever business you have, you should do it somewhere else. This town doesn't need any more bloodshed." the bob cut woman said placing her hand on her knifes she had on her waist.
"I don't really understand what you mean, and I don't really care, I won't case any trouble unless you case me to." Yuki said glaring at the woman turning completely around showing her full form.
At that most of the people in the lobby went out, along with the receptionists to hind under the desk. Before the two women could lash out at one another, Ameena and Kila came out form the hall behind Yuki. "Ma'am Yuki your back I missed you soooooooo much!" Kila exclaimed catching the swordswoman off guard breaking her stare off form the red haired woman in front of her as her daughter ran to her and hugging her by the waist. Yuki smiled down at her child, placing a hand on Kila's back as the little girl griped onto her, she was just as happy to see Kila as Kila was to see her.
Ameena came up to Yuki, relived that her friend was ok and said. "I'm glad you made it back safely Yuki."
"Did you really think I would let myself be hurt by lowly bandits?"
Yuki gloated throwing a smirk back to her friend.
Ameena nodded at her friend but became shocked and worried as she noticed the blood all over her clothes "Yuki, your covered in blood, are you injured!?" Ameena asked rushed over to her, this cased Kila to let go and look worriedly at her mother.
Yuki chuckled only saying. "I'm alright, this isn't my blood."
Ameena when quiet with a small frown when Yuki's statement, Yuki on the other hand had paid no attention to it, the woman that the forgotten bob haired woman in front of them seemed to have puzzled look on her face as she asked " so … she is your daughter?"
"Yes, well only by adoption… why do you want her, because you can if you want?" Yuki said with a smirk joking matter. Kila just yelled out with a Hey!
"Uh no thanks…so you're not here to harm them?" the bob haired woman asked.
Yuki looked at the woman weirdly raising her brows slightly saying. "No, I'm basically here to protect them on our journey,"
"Why would you think that miss?" Ameena asked cocking her head to the side in a confused manner,
"I heard that a threatening looking person was seen at the inn, asking to see one of its residents, so I thought you were here to kill them." the woman explains.
"Well… I guess I am threatening looking because of all this blood on me." Yuki commented looking down at her shirt and pants.
Ameena bowed to the bob haired woman apologizing. " I'm sorry for the mix up, we were followed by bandits and Yuki stayed behind to protect us,"
"It's alright, I should be the one apologizing." the woman said crossing her arms aging.
Yuki nodded. "Apology accepted. Now if you all will excuse me I'm gonna wash this blood off before it starts to smell." Yuki said walking into the hall way Kila leading the way.. Ameena smiled once more at the bob cut woman then followed them to their room
Yuki was busy taking a shower while Kila took her clothes down to the wash room so the laundry people could clean them.
After Yuki cleaned every inch of her body she turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, dried off, and got dressed in a computable long shirt and shorts. Grabbing her swords that were leaned against the wall, she walked out into the bed room and sat down at the table near the beds were Ameena as seating at. Ameena had a cup of tea in her hands seeming to be in a trace of thought. Yuki relaxed in her chair, uttering a sigh of breath as she removed one sword form its sheath, and taking the towel form her hair and used it to clean her weapons. The shine of to weapon was dulled buy the slouched with dry blood and needed to be cleaned, as she slowly ran the slightly wetted cloth over the cool blade, the splotches of blood began to disappear onto the towel. Ameena watched Yuki for awhile until she felt someone's gaze on her, slide her eyes to the girl in front of her then back at the blade, her feelings were right. "Is there something on your mind Ameena?" Yuki asked as she continued to clean her katana.
Ameena jumped at the sudden voice but easily calmed. She was silent for a moment as she began to think on what to say." Yuki…Maybe this trip to Airyglyph was a bad idea... I think it would be better to go back to Peterny." Ameena said as she looked down at her cup of tea.
Yuki stopped cleaning seeing that her weapon was clean enough placing it back in its sheath placing it against the wall beside her as she picked up the other one and did the same. As she cleaned this one she finally answered Ameena with a question. "What brought this on all of a sudden; you were ok with it before?"
"The reason is that …. Did you really kill them, the bandits?" Ameena asked hoping that Yuki didn't actually killed them but wound them.
Yuki looked over to her stopping her cleaning answering Ameena's question. "Yes, if I didn't, they would have came after you and Kila and took what they wanted and killed you two, besides I gave them a chance to leave, and they paid that error with their lives."
Ameena looked at Yuki with sadness in her eyes, blaming herself that she made Yuki go though that ordeal just for her sake. As if reading her mind Yuki said finish cleaning her swords. "Don't blame yourself on what has happen, besides they were the bandits that were attacking most of the caravans that were traveling to Peterny and back, they had it coming" Yuki said placing her other sword with the other, and now facing Ameena her blue eyes looking at the depressed flower girl.
"I just wish that no one had to get hurt… that's all..." Ameena said sadly, her expression matching her tone.
"I do to.. But in a world like this people are going to get hurt.. Look I don't care on what you decide rather to move forward on this journey or head back, but in my option no matter on how difficult or complicated it may get, you need to look past that and look for what we come here to do," Yuki explained.
"But people shouldn't die just because of flowers, I feel like I shouldn't have made you and Kila go through, because of my selfish needs..." Ameena admitted looking at the table, unable to look a Yuki.
Yuki glared in annoyance as she placed the almost clean katana carefully on her lap, saying said. "Hold on Ameena, for one you didn't make me and Kila come with you, we came because we wanted u to and that we wanted to help you get those Moonsnow Flowers, also you are not shellfish for going after something you need. So don't be so down on yourself, your getting on my nervous worrying about this, just worry about the flowers and I'll worry about the obstacles that come our way, Ok."
Ameena thought for a moment about what to do. Then exhaling a breath she said. " .. Ok I will, I'm sorry for making you mad."
"You didn't, just annoyed me.. Besides I really do want to visit Airyglyph, this is the first time I've been there myself, and this will be the first time Kila sees snow, it will be a great experience for all of us." Yuki answered truthfully picking up the in her lap back up and finishing its cleaning.
Ameena smiled sweetly at Yuki when she muttered Kila, and asked more of a statement. "You really care for Kila like a real mother do you?"
Yuki looked at Ameena with a smile then placing her other katana in its sheath, leaning over to slightly to place it on the wall beside her were the other one was " well she kind of grew on me when I first met her. And now I can't get rid of her." Yuki said with a small laugh."
At that point Kila ran in with Yuki's clothes dried and folded after a few more minutes of talking to both Ameena and Kila she decided it was time for bed, Kila slept with her as Ameena slept in the bed next to it for the long night.
