" Mother Tamayo, I am in danger, but I am alive for the moment. I was taken and forced into an alliance with someone I thought was a better person. He has taken me to his home and that is where we reside. The home is where two survivors had survived a family massacre by a demon. I'm not sure where it is but it is on a tall and mostly grounded mountain. I'm sorry that it is not more detailed, I was unconscious before I arrived, so I didn't have a clue where I was when I woke up. The two are holding me here for I don't know how long.
They were good people. They still are good people somewhere inside, I believe. They just experienced far more than people their age should experience. The world was not kind to them so please do not be angry with them.
But, Please Help me.
- [Name] "
Tamayo's jaw was slightly unhinged as she read the note over and over again. Her close friend; that she considered her child. Who had been missing for over three months, has finally given her a sign that they are alive but it wasn't an exact celebration just yet. Her eyes watered, she then silently brought the note to her head and lowered her head, her chest heaved as she began to cry into the note.
" You're alive. But at what cost? " She sobbed solemnly.
Yushiro walked to her quiet room with a tea tray filled with medicine as he knocked with one hand on the door, " Lady Tamayo, May I come in? " He asked into the room. A couple of seconds of silence. Then a few sniffles were heard before she allowed him to come in. He quickly opened the door and saw the woman holding a note to her chest as she had tears flowing down her gentle porcelain face, " Yushiro. It's [Name], they're alive, but they're in terrible danger. " She managed to choke through her sobs.
He hastily placed the tea tray down and quickly rushed to the Lady's side, comforting her and gently cooing, trying to ground her back down to earth.
After Tamayo finally had calmed down, she showed him the note, he also was shocked but somewhat relieved that the human Hashira was okay. " They are in danger, Yushiro, we need to find them." She demanded, " Lady Tamayo, I don't know. It could put you in danger and I do not want anything to hurt you. " He tried to reason with the woman.
She grabbed the note from his hands and reread over it again - seeming to want to find anything that might give her a clue on whose house they were speaking about - her mind wouldn't stop telling her to reread specific parts of the note.
" He has taken me to his childhood home and that is where we reside. "
" The home is where two survivors had survived a family massacre by a demon. "
Tamayo's eyes darted from side to side on the paper as she racked through anything or anyone who fit the description of the home that [Name] was in. " Yushiro, " she began, " Yes, my lady? " He answered. Her fingers traced under a sentence and her eyes held confusion and desperation, " Did the Kamado siblings ever tell us about their family situation? " She asked. Yushiro's eyes looked down as he sighed and knitted his eyebrows together.
He soon looked up to the distressed woman and slowly shook his head, " Not that I remember. I'm sorry. " She sighed and gripped the note more. She began to stand up and searched for something. She grabbed a small little brown ribbon and rolled the note up then tied it with a small ribbon. " My lady? " Yushiro asked but was met with no answer as she adjusted the note to her liking.
She then walked outside of the room, with Yushiro right behind her, she made her way to the front of her estate and whistled a small tune. A couple of minutes later, a small raven flew over to her and landed on her shoulder with a gentle "coo". She gently scratched the bird's chin, " Hello, my dear. " the bird gently cooed with delight. The demon raised the letter to the raven's beak, " Please deliver this near the corporation." Yushiro's eyes widened in disbelief, "My lady!-" Her other hand raised in front of him to stop his protest, "-I know, Yushiro. I know the risks." She said calmly. Her eyes wavered over the letter, her eyes flickering with disbelief and regret, she patted the bird's head gently.
The bird's black eyes look at the two and 'cawed'. Its wing spread out as it flew into the sky and took off toward the demon corporation, caws and squawks following behind it.
The two demons silently watched the bird take the letter to their destination. Tamayo's cold hands grasped together as she stared helplessly into the sky, "Forgive me. My son." Her eyes pricked with tears and her lips quivered. A warm but ever so cold, comforting hand made its way to the weeping shoulder of the doctor. Her lavender eyes looked into the gentle and caring eyes of her companion. Not even being a demon could take away the warmth and care that Yushiro's eyes held, always there for his lady and never letting even death itself, take that away from him.
"It'll be alright, my lady. They will be okay." The gentle tone dripped through his lips; calming the worried woman. A small but reassuring smile crept on her face as she nodded to him. "I do wish that they will."
