Just Friends?

Jason frowns when he sees Hiroshi "What the heck indeed. Here." he tosses something to Hiroshi "That's got the address of where Suki's dad is being held. They only have one Oni lieutenant watching over him and she's tough." he cautions "In a fight, you would eventually win out over her, but she's Not without common sense or a sense of empathy." he says.

Hiroshi nodded a bit as he took it. "So I might be able to resolve things peacefully if I play my cards right? Is there anything else I should know?"

Jason shakes his head "Nothing you won't find out for yourself. Oh, one thing." he says "You're right about one thing, if you play your cards right, you'll get Suki's dad back peacefully and if you play your cards even better, you may end up with a new ally." he points out.

Hopefully he would be able to do that, but he'd have to see how things played out. Taking a look at the address again he decided it was about time to get a move on while the others also did their own thing.

The address lead Hiroshi to an abandoned hospital that looked like it had been through a fire. Inside, the atmosphere bordered on creepy. It almost seemed like one of those haunted hospitals you see in horror movies. You know, the ones with girls in white dresses and long black hair covering their face.

We'll, this wasn't cliche or anything.

Hiroshi wasn't bothered by the looks of the place, but it did put him on alert. There was no telling if there was anything else in here besides the Oni he was looking for after all.

There was No one in the hospital so far. No monsters coming to stop him, no guards not even the white-dressed, black-haired ghost girl. "Well, well! That didn't take long, now did it?" says a voice. It was Oni Lieutenant!

She was resting on of the blades on her shoulder and had her other hand on her hip "Let me venture a guess, you're here for the old man. Am I correct?" she asks, already knowing she was right "So tell me, how do you intent to rest him from me?" she asks.

Okay, wasn't expecting that.

The woman was very attractive, skin was a bit on the red side, but they were curvy with..rather large breast. It was hard not to notice with the outfit she was wearing, but physically they seemed to be in their mid to late twenties.
Hiroshi wasn't expecting the Oni to be a Very hot chick but he guessed since they came in all shapes and sizes there were bound to be some.

The young man shook his head. "Yes, on the old man part, I want to return them back to their family. I don't want to fight you over them, so I was hoping we could work something out peacefully in exchange for his freedom."

The Oni Lieutenant nods slowly "Interesting. You would have me betray Phyrexian, hand over the old man and let you go without putting up Any kind of resistance whatsoever?" she asks, tapping her sword on her shoulder "What do you have to offer me in exchange for the old man?" she asks.

Hiroshi frowned, thinking. "Realitically, I doubt I own anything that would actually interest you enough for something like this, I literally have two cents to my name far as material things go so tha's out. It also wouldn't be fair to me to ask you to turn the other without something big enough to compensate. Is there anything you want, that I could give you that would be enough?

The Oni sighs as she jams her sword into the ground and crosses her arms under her bosom "If you don't have anything to trade me for the that's of equal value to me, then leave. I have nothing more to say to you." she says, tapping her foot, waiting for Hiroshi to leave.

So much for a peaceful resolution, he should have seen this coming. This was so damned annoying, he didn't have time to play around like this. Jason said he could take her, but then he wouldn't know where Suki's father was.

"Hold on a second. I know someone who is able to get information and things they have no business to, though the problem is they don't really interferre directly much." He was of course referring to Jason. "Seemingly impossible things. I don't expect you to believe me, actions speak louder then words. But there has to be Something you want no matter how far fetched it is. If you tell me what it is, if it exist on this planet odds are I'll be able to get it. But I need something to work with."

The Oni was thinking "Hmmm... Knowledge Is power after all. Very well. Bring this person to me and if I like what I see. I'll trade him for the old man, provided he can give me what I want." she says "Do we have a deal?" she asks.

Hiroshi nodded. "I'll be back soon." He just hoped Jason was still there when he headed back to the safe house since he'd of course need to talk to them.

Jason was, of course, still there. He was outside, contemplating the universe and his roll in it...or he was just bored. He looks down at his forearm and starts messing with something on it.

Hiroshi made his way over. "Hey. It's just like you said as far as that Oni was concerned. For releasing Suki's father, they want to talk to you for information. It's completely up to you, this isn't really your fight after all."

Jason sighs "I suppose I should have handled this from the start." he mumbles "Hopefully, for your sake, Christine won't find out that you used me a bargaining chip. She has one nasty temper." he says.

"So, do you want to come along or would you prefer I go it alone?" he asks.

Hiroshi shook his head. "She didn't say it was the only way, just she wanted a item in exchange that would be 'equal' value whatever that is to her. I think it be better to do that, you probably have other stuff to do plus no potential drama with your sister later."

Jason shakes his head "Should have explored all your options earlier. Like saying that you didn't have anything, but if she would be willing, she could stick around until she found something she wanted." Jason says.

"She would have agreed, you would have gotten Kyosuki back and she would have stuck around you and Suki and when you both got attacked by another Oni, they would see her with you and declare her a traitor and she would have nowhere else to go, so she would join your cause." Jason explains.

He puts two fingers to his forehead "Also, I interfere directly all the time." he says as he blurs and disappears!

Hiroshi sighed, this is why he didn't like doing diplomatic stuff he always felt he missed things or the obvious when it came to it. Jason's approach never came to mind because he thought it was too simple.

He was going to go with Jason so he could escort Suki's father back but he was already gone. How'd he even vanish that fast?

Jason appears outside of the hospital and looks around, he closes his eyes as if calming himself, than nods and heads inside. He decided to wander around a bit, give the impression that he was lost.

"This hospital's closed. If you're looking for medical aid, I would strongly suggest you look elsewhere." the Oni Lieutenant says as she comes out of her hiding spot, now that Jason was getting close to his target.

Jason looks her over "I'm not here for medical treatment. I'm here for Suki's father. I know where he is and I'm stonger then you." he says casually "Hand him over peacefully and you can go about your business. Resist and I'll destroy you and take him anyway." he warns.

The Oni Lieutenant frowns, drawing a sword "I don't like threats and you know nothing about me. So now I will kill you and show you just how wrong you are." she says.

Hiroshi made his way to the hospital to get things started but he sort of had a bad feeling about things as was.

The Oni Lieutenant springs into action! She was fast, faster then what Hiroshi and Suki had ever fought against. Fast and strong! Oh my Goodness she was strong! However, as fast and as strong as she was, Jason, naturally, was faster and stronger.

Jason was effortlessly dodging all of her attacks and what he didn't feel like dodging, he simply blocked. Just to show her what his overall defenses were like "Blader, I wasn't exaggerating or kidding when I said I was stronger." he says, as if she wasn't a challenge to him at all.

This caused her to pause her attack, as she began to realize that he Wasn't joking around. If his defenses were This solid, how was his attacks going to be like? She didn't have to wait long to find out.

Jason blurs and was suddenly behind "Check mate. You lose." he says as he delivers a swift chop to her neck, which knocked her to the ground. It didn't knock her out, just stunned her. Anything harder and Jason could possibly seriously hurt her, which wasn't his goal.

"Looks like I'm late."

It was Hiroshi who had come, attracted by the sounds of fighting but he was somewhat surprised the fight was over already. It seemed Torin wasn'tt kidding far as overpowering Jason could be when he wanted to.

Jason looks up, seeing Hiroshi "Kyosuki is in the morgue." he says "Bottom left fridge on the far wall." he instructs the young demon.

Jason's attention was off the Oni and Blader took advantage of this by stabbing her sword upwards! Hitting nothing but air as Jason was suddenly in front of her "Blader, you've lost this. Stop making things worse for yourself and accept defeat with some level of grace." he says.
