Bob was starting to understand her, all she wanted was to earn things on her own and not feel like verything need to be handed to her "There nothing worrg in working for your money, really i repect those that want to earn it the fair way, but my dear being a whore is not the way. Like i said befor all you had to do was talk to me and we could work things out. Your right in the fact to do things your good at which i didnt relize you could mix drinks that good, nomaly woman aint that good or that i seen but never the less its impressof on how good you are so i will let you take over the bar area if you think you can handle it, if you need somthing just let me know. Now as for the cooking i could teach you or i could ask my head cook to teach you. Cleaning you will do, but you will only have a share of it and not do everything ok and it wount be with a toothbrush, gods forbid whoever thought of that idea was ether sick on the brain or love the tast of his own floor in the morning." he said as he was useing that joke in hopes to make her laugh or get a smile out of her. "Now would work out better you?" he asked her.

Bob but both hands on her showders befor she could do anything but he did it gently "When you said about being a whore to get money its what got me worryed, trust me when i say its not somthing a woman sould do even if its only a last resort becuse all that do end up regreating it. If you told me more so why you were wanting more money i wouldnt have understood your resons more. And your worrg, they didnt get away, they faced those that were after them, and there freinds were there to stand by each other side and so was i and they never bother them again. As for jobs all you had to do is talk to me about it just like we did and i just swich you here in the bar area plus its only your frist day working in this place, not takes one day to get use to everything but time to get use to, ya your going to mass up on orders, you think i didnt when i did it myself." he said though chuckled on his last statment. "Im not here to upset you but when you go around saying that being a whore is better or what not it give people the worrg idea of you. You are indeed a fine young woman no matter what your father or bothers say and like i said befor even if they do come to take you im here for you and so is everyone eles, in other words your not alone." He said though he hope that help her feel better about the place and that she coud trust him mroe so then what she might have thought of.

Bob blinked to what she was saying and wasnt sure what made her thing he was frocing her to do anything that was agaist her will and this bit of useing her body to make money what was the point in doing that at all? "Frist of all im only telling you my story, of how i came here and iw as geting to how i got all what you see though it wasnt the price that you might think, im not saying you should make a deal with a god or to sell your soul, or telling you to go to the temple in the frist place. Im only talking to you like a nomal person would to know each other. The price im talking about was to build this place and help lost souls like your self and welcome them, to help them get a new start in life now you tell me how bad is that type of deal, to be given all the money needed for a place like this, money to keep my daughter from living in the streets. Now you talk about being a whore which i want to know what broght this up, you have a free place to stay and making money doing and easy job, what more do you want?" he said befor he get his face closer to her though he didnt raise his voice nor seem upset but concirn for her own well being "You not the only one that been beaten, told your nothing more then a hole for men from there own famely, look around you, you see all the other women that you see here, they had about the same as you, beaten, raped and more jsut like your self. All of them were led here to get a nother chance in life, to see that theres more to it then those that have hirt you said. Say you do go out and become the whore like your father siad you would do well as, all you going to do is let everyone wall all over you and you will never be truely happy even with all the pleaser you get from it you will never get a man that love you for who you are by doing it that way. Im not telling you this to upset you or anything of the such, but only to tell you that i am here for you and that i wount turn my back on you like others have." he told her once more in same way he have befor, stong but yet kind without yelling what so ever.

The old man chuckled for a monment and he heard what she thought about the gods or at lest about the king of the gods. "I belive you got things mixed around, frist of all the gods cant stay in out plan or for very long at lest or if they do they cant interfew with use mortals, shouldnt lets put it that way, dimi-gods however they are alouds to for the fact they can die from ether ageing or in battle and thats the deffernts. If they were just nuts with powers well it makes me wounder why the world wasnt taken over by now by these so called nuts. No im not saying your worrg about some of the gods but there are those that care enough to do what they can to help in there own way. Why i said this is becuse it was Naraku that i have this in the frist place." he said as he gave a wave of the inn he have now befor looking at her "I was like you, thinking the gods did nothing but toy with use humens for there injoyment and didnt care about what we do or say. It was a year after my wife died i was having money problems, couldnt find a job and keeping a roof over my head, one night i was told that i had a week to move out of the place i was in becuse i couldnt keep up with the tax's and such which drove me down to my knees. That night when at my rundown home i was so down and felt so helpless i didnt knwo what to do and i didnt want to lose my only child that my wife left with me. I got on my knees and tryed out for anyone to help me, that i would do anything as long i get to keep my daugther and watch her grow and be happy. At frist it seems i was only yelling at myself but a sudden light flash beside me, heh i could still remeber jumping back like a scard rabbit. Anyway it was then i seen a man standing there in my room with black and white clothing on. Looking at him i was afraid becuse i didnt know what he was going to do but he told me who he was, that he was Naraku the king of the gods and that he heard my crys. He told me if i want to have my wise granted he would frist pack up everything that i could and to the kingdome of Brightmoon and go right away to his temple that lies there, his temple would be waiting for me to come there. After that was said he vanish. I though for a little bit that night thinking what chose do i have, within a week i would have no place to stay and no one that would help me ether, so i made up my mind and gotten eveything packed that i could take with me and what money i had left i use to get a ship to brightmoon. Once i came to the city i couldnt help but see its wounders, everything looking so nice, so clean i thoght to myself how would i able to live in such a place i mean just looking at a place seems to be over the price range, even you had to adment to that i would say. Though like i was told i went to the temple right away though it took me a little bit to find the place but still found it, once i told them my name they right away welcome me without me even telling them who sent me but like Naraku told me befor they would be expecting me. I had a meal like no one of my class could aford and it made me wounder did i sign my soul as the price for what i was given? But once they took me into this room in which was told i would see Naraku there, i did. It was then he given me a deal that would slove my problems but i had to do somthing in return." he told her and waits to see if she was fallowing so far and also to see if she was intrusted in thsi story he was telling her.

"Its alright, though i do thank you never the less, not everyone knows, heh i can help find other people but yet not the one im looking for, not sure if thats a blessing or a cuse, in ether way its fine. Time all i have and helping others on the way as well which helps me as well, it means some one is guiding me to lost souls that need some help, and just maybe one of those souls will be her. Well its been fun but i have to be geting going. Essence, you said your self you wanted to have a word with Naraku himself, how about you try his temple im sure he will talk to a lovely lady like yourself and dont worry he dosent bite." Jon said though the last part was only a joke which anyone would know. Just after Jon got up Bob turn to look at her with a rosen brow "a word witht he king of the gods?" he asked her hope she would tell him what Jon ment.

E

ssence listened to the story,nodding her head as he talked.It was quite a sweet story really.To know that the one she loved would come find her one day.How wonderful it would be to be that in love with someone.She must have been a really special girl to have a man like him follow her to the ends of time to find her.God,how envious she was of her.Hell she never even had anyone attracted to her.At least not that she ever knew of.All the young men that she knew made fun of her because she was so thin and tall.Then to make matters worse her hair was black and stringy while her eyes were a dark and unhappy color.If nothing else the least worst thing she was called was an ungly duckling.Yet.it seemed no matter how ugly everyone else saw her to be,her father and brother wanted her even more.Maybe that is why she never really took very good care of herself.She figured if she smelled and looked bad enough they wouldn't touch her.Yet,for some reason it never worked.Though to be honest they were so drunk they probably didn't care or take notice to her appearance.

What it would have been like to have a first love chase after you.What was even a sweeter thought was knowing he was your first at making love as well.Still,she wouldn't have to worry about any of that.No one would ever find her pretty enough to even take a second glance much less want to touch her in away that was appropriate.Besides,who would want her after she had been used so many times that she was considered nothing but a dirty whore under everyone's feet.How heart breaking it was for her to know this...to not know what it was like to be loved or treated kindly because they loved you...not because they wanted something.Letting out a small sigh as Jon finished his story she went back to making them another drink before going back to her real job.

"Nakia is a pretty name but I am afraid I haven't heard of it.It does seem oddly familiar though.Like I should know it or something.Oh,well.Sorry,I couldn't help you.I really thought I could.Still,I think it is quite sweet what you are doing.I bet you can't wait to find one another.I bet it will be the happiest day ever!"

"When your living here you are part family in my book ok, why you think i give all these men that slap my girls butts thinking its funny, i give them a pice of my mind befor they get a nother drink from this place. Just remeber if you need help or some one to talk to dont be afraid to come to me ok." Bob said befor hearing her qustion "well thats somthing you have to ask Jon your self." He said befor looking at him. Jon couldnt help but chuckle with what was going on now, the part that he was the main adtenion all a sudden. "I dont think you knew her, heh we were only kides at the time but for some resion we couldnt leave each other alone, though she had to move even though she didnt want to but she had to sense her parents found a better place to stay, i promis her ill find her again. I went to magic and weapons training a week after that and once i was of age to travil i started looking for her, her name is Hakia. Once i find her i hope at lest shes no marryed to some druke or anything like that, though if she is i want to make sure for myself so maybe i can go on with my own life. I know it sounds silly for a man to look for some one with only a name to go by but still its my dream and my life and i will do as i wish with it no matter what others thing about it." he said as he smiles at him. Though half of his story was a lie as a cover up but the other half was true, he was looking for some one, looking for the soul of his true love, his goddess if light.
