Jin entered Koenma's office bloody and covered in soot. "Koenma-sama. I took care of the rebellious Fire youkai you mentioned, at the borderlands."
Koenma turned and his eyes bulged when he saw Jin's condition. "That's good, now go see a healer! You look absolutely awful! You should have come back for help!"
Jin ducked his head, a nod, "Yes, Koenma-sama," and limped out. As told, he found a healer and let them tend his wounds, but he didn't particularly care. While in there, one of the other messengers of mortality ((like Botan)) began talking to him.
"Hello, Jin. My name is Akira. I'm a messenger. I heard about you, that there was someone new here named Jin, but not much else and I'm curious." Akira grinned in a whimsical manner, scratching one of her tabby cat ears. Jin looked over the neko youkai messenger. She had brown hair, orange and black cat's ears, black paws instead of hands, and a thin, whip-like cat's tail in orange, white, and black. Whiskers adorned tanned and freckled cheeks. Her eyes were a bright playful green, and she wore a black Chinese dress.
Jin gazed at her shyly. "'Ello Akira. I'm a wind master, and I came 'ere fer work. I disgraced mysel' on num'rous occasions. Tha's about all anyone needs'a know." He answered quietly.
Akira was instantly intrigued, and decided to get to know this strange Jin. For now, she wouldn't push it. She began telling him about her life, her thoughts on certain subjects, interests, and the like. Jin listened patiently and silently. When she finished, he excused himself politely and went to his room, no plan in mind, whatsoever.
"Koenma-sama, I'd like to know more about that youkai, Jin. He said he'd disgraced himself several times. What did he do?" Akira asked, leaning against the doorframe.
Koenma looked at Akira carefully. "That's his story to tell, not mine. I'll give you so much as this: he did something to a friend that he regrets infinitely, and he refuses to forgive himself, although he had no control of himself at the time. Don't push him for details, Akira-san. You won't like them, and he won't like to give them. Just leave him alone."
Akira nodded, still planning on finding away to know what happened to Jin. She would have to be careful, but now she was more curious than ever. She walked out of Koenma's office, "Very well, Koenma-sama. Till later."
Koenma watched her shut the door. "She's going to try to find out," Koenma sighed, "Never hire people who are part neko. They're always getting caught in a ball of yarn."
