Gyomei Himejima never expected himself to find himself in a situation that tested his faith and patience. He came across a frightened you while mid-mission, covered in blood and cowering in the corner of a broken down house. Not only were you heavily injured, you refused to let him anywhere near you in the belief that he was a demon like the one that attacked your family.

"You must listen to me, child." Gyomei's normally calm voice held a hint of desperation, the low baritone a rumble in his chest. "You need to come with me."

You found it hard to ignore his imposing stature, having never seen a man so built. You were terrified and alone, already terrified enough from the death of your loved ones, that you didn't notice the way Gyomei froze as his sharp senses picked up a tension in the air you couldn't fathom.

The air was thick with the unmistakable scent of blood and something dark - a demon was approaching the area. Something was coming. And Gyomei only had a matter of time to get you up and out of the area before it hit.
