[b]Land of Rivers[/b] Every single syllable pronounced by the empress was treated as divine commandment by Yakoul, thus its enhanced listening skills whenever its powerful hearing could pick up the leader's harmonious voice it would devote all its focus to it. But this time it seemed even more carried by the soothing sounds emitted by the woman, for she was addressing Yakoul personally. This made the cat creature blush a light read on both its round cheeks and a childish, cat-like smile of self-satisfaction appeared on its face. Upon scratching the back of its head as a way to take back the silly things the empress didn't hesitate to debunk, though it seemed as though the powerful woman understood it was only a way for Yakoul to express its inner desire to finish this all by itself, despite it being rather difficult for one individual. It's ears would perk upwards as the empress gleefully caressed the monster's head, treating the bodyguard as if it were truly her pet, a guard dog ready to devour anything opposing its master. As the head of the empire took the decision to walk over back toward the castle, a giant boulder would befall the group of higher ups who were always near the empress. Upon seeing that thing that thing before the rest, Yakoul had readied its claws in order to release a wind slash with one quick swing. However, upon quickly checking the menace, it could see it appeared a bit light for a falling boulder, like how heavy things fell faster than lighter things, you didn't have to be a genius to realize that, hence someone like Yaoul could detect that. Instead it waited for it to show itself, and the empress seemed unfazed by the upcoming obstacle, actually her body language made it obvious. Yakoul could easily make quickly conclusions upon peering over her an instant before glaring back at the falling mass. As its job was to keep an eye on everything that approached the empress, it quickly caught the ability to translate different motions, especially from the woman it was supervising every day of the week. She was calm, as if she was telling Yakoul it wasn't worth a reaction. Suddenly the boulder became a person charging toward the empress. Yakoul instead readied its tail in order to slap the individual away, but its superior simply took a step to the side before the young assailant became harmful, allowing Yakoul to quickly switch to a more defensive position, its tail swaying near the downed assailant. Yakoul's expression from surprised/worried would turn to overwhelmed with excitement and impatience as the empress have a Shoko gave the order to do as the monster pleased. "[b]Oooooohhhh yeah m'lady. I'll make sure to make this one goooooo-... What.[/b]" At first the monster would be preparing for a feast and a possible sexy time with the remains, but then as the female started to speak obvious nonsense, the empress decided to spare her by having her imprisoned. Upon hearing the order to have this done, Yakoul's expression sudden sunk into a more pseudo-depressive one. In order to compensate, the swinging tail would immediately slap the young female across with brute force, as the tail held the abnormal strength of being able to lift an entire body without effort. The recent assailant would be sent flying a couple of meters to the right and knocked out cold. But Yakoul's need to release some steam wasn't over. Before picking up the wasted ninja, Yakoul would give a violent dose of tail abuse to the messenger hornet after it gave its boring speech about the Jinchuuriki taking a break. "[b]Pfffffff, crappy bugs can't talk to the empress without their master. Nooooooo respect for the divine~[/b]" Said the monster as it proceeded to wrap its tail around the attacker's neck and lifting her up with ease. Yakoul would turn its attention to Namine who received the order to escort the now unconscious being. A little mischievous smile was very well apparent on its face as it stared right into the individual with the emotion sensing abilities' eyes. Namine would see all the malice in Yakoul's soul, its inner desire to rip apart this individual and violate the possible remains after a gory feast. "[b]Sorry I got carried away, if you want I can carry it back to the dungeon with you. Unless you want to lift her up? I can assure you, she sure has a nice bust in case you're into that~ I won't tell anything to the boss...[/b]" The words of Yakoul were whispered to Namine, as if it was purposely testing her patience and reaction toward such dark and bland humor from a thing everyone considered a sick monster. Though not insane, everyone could feel the malice in this thing's look, you did not need emotion sensory to capture that.
