Chapter 1

"Get up you stupid, lazy twit and take care of the guest we have upstairs. You needed a place to stay well bitch it's time to pay," the rude innkeeper yelled and threw the wooden bucket at Nazuna's head.

Thud

The bucket hit the stone wall nearly missing Nazuna's short, soppy, wet hair.

Nazuna shivered and tried to get her bearings together. She was wet, cold, miserable, and hungry. She quickly took off her bed clothes and wrung it out after she used the dry part to pat dry her hair. She couldn't afford to buy another one or get sick. She gathered the straw bed and spread it out to let it air dry. She turned around her small closet size room and gathered her clothes. She quickly tied her hair up with a black string and put on her plain clothes to show her status.

She opened the door and quickly went down the hall and up the stairs to the main room where the guests ate, drank, played cards, and harassed the other server girls to sleeping with them.

She took a deep breath and walked to the innkeeper's daughter asking her for her job duties for the day.

"Serve that fat guy. He's been asking for you all morning. When you are done, go feed the pigs. Make sure that I don't see you anywhere near Nico like before or I will make you beg for me to kill you," the daughter said and left to get the baked goods to serve the morning customers.

Nazune gulped and moved her short bangs from her head to the side.

'It's not my fault that your intended find me more attractive than your lard self,' Nazuna thought and quickly went to the fat guy in the corner of the room.

"Sir, good morning. What can I get started for you?" Nazuna asked with a fake smile.

"Oh my little muse is finally awake. I request that you bring me toast, jam, ham, pheasant, and four flat cakes. Also I will need three pints of ale as well. Your dress is too long. Bring it up some so I can see your legs move," the fat man said and Nazuna shook her head and folded her skirt up three times as the customer requested.

The man felt her ass hoping to feel her smooth skin against the thin brown cotton skirt. He raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Yes that's right, oh you have this little contraption on. Take it off and hand it to me," the fat man requested.

Nazuna gulped and took a step back.

"I have to wear them. It's part of my uniform. I will have your food out sir," Nazuna said quickly and left.

Nazuna made it to the back of the inn where the kitchen was located. The cooks were a grandmother and grandson duo. Everyone called the older woman Granny and her grandson went by the name of Yoshi.

Yoshi had black hair that he kept short in fear he might burn it off. He was a bit older than Nazuna but saw her as his little sister. He was a tall muscular man that was saving his money to travel to a different in with his grandmother.

His grandmother Inume was a fine cook. Her food consistently came out the same. She had steel grey hair and always had food ready for the servers because she knew that the innkeepers didn't treat their workers the same especially the newcomer Nazuna. Inume took a liking to Nazuna and always had food for her, a warm heart and an ear to listen to.

Inume knew that her and Yoshi's contract was almost up and she was beyond glad. She was a bit sad that she would have to leave Nazuna but had to ask if she wanted to come travel with them.

"Morning Granny! Morning Yoshi! I have a big order for that fat man from last night. He came back or stayed the night I'm not sure," Nazuna said and rattled off what the man wanted.

"Got it sweetie," Granny Inume said and started on the flat cakes while her grandson was taking care of everything else.

"Nazuna there is some bread and flat cakes by the stove over there. Help yourself," Granny replied and Nazuna quickly went over and dried herself off and ate quickly while the food cooked.

Nazuna continued to eat her fill and dry her hair. She smelled the crackle of the cooking ham and pheasant that was baking. Her favorite was the flat cakes. They were always fluffy and good.

Nazuna got up from the stool and went to get three pitchers of ale for her guest to drink on. She brought three cups just in case and carried out the drinks to the guest.

When she got there, her guest had a girl in his lap kissing her and had his portly fingers under her short rolled up dress. Then he had another between his legs bobbing her head up and down vigorously. Nazuna was glad she brought the extra cups and placed the drinks and cups down.

"Your food will be ready soon sir," Nazuna said quietly and went back to the kitchen before he requested for her to join in.

Nazuna went back to the kitchen and gathered the food on a tray and headed out. She made it to the table and the guy had the same woman's tit in his mouth. Nazuna just shook her head and placed the food down.

"Enjoy your meal?" Nazuna questioned and quickly left to do her other chores while he ate.

Returning back to the kitchen she went to the back and changed her brown clogs to rubber boots to feed the pigs.

She grabbed one pail full of slop and dragged the heavy pail out the doors. She carried and rested all the way to the small pig farm that was about forty feet from the inn. When she got there she tipped the pail over to pour into the brown rectangular pig feeder through the chicken wire gate. She was happy that she managed to not spill any on her clothes and wiped her forehead from the perspiration gathered. She began to walk back and wash up and hopefully collect the empty plates from her guest she was looking after.

"Oi morning Zuzu! Why have you been avoiding me? I haven't seen you in almost a fortnight. What gives? I thought we were friends,"Nico the pig tender said and nearly scared Nazuna out of her skin.

She dropped the empty pail and almost fell because he scared her.

He quickly grabbed her before she face planted into the mud.

"Thanks Nico," Nazuna said sheepishly.

"No problem Zuzu. Again, why have you been ignoring me? I thought we became close friends," Nico said and righted Nazuna onto her feet.

He bent down and grabbed her pail to keep her there and not run off.

"Nico I don't have time for this. Give me back the pail so I can go back inside and not get in trouble," Nazuna said without looking in Nico's green eyes.

"I don't understand. Explain to me what I have done to get the cold shoulder," Nico said and put the pail behind his back.

Nazuna looked up to the man that took every red blooded woman's heart. Nazuna was taken aback by his red hair he kept in a high ponytail. Strong cheekbones, muscular chest, button nose, small but luscious lips and tall stature.

"I'm not giving you the cold shoulders. I want to be friends but your...your fiance thinks that I am trying to steal you away," Nazuna said.

"Fiancee? I'm not getting married to anyone,"Nico replied confused.

"Well...tell Ai that. Please give me my pail now," Nazuna demanded.

"Come. I'll hold it and walk you back. I can't trust that you would make it back without twisting your ankle again," Nico jested and wrapped his arm around Nazuna's arm.

'Today was going so well,' Nazuna thought and walked alongside Nico.

A/N: This is a request story! A lot of wiggle room and it turned out better than I hoped for. Nazuna is the chick from the temple that a spider demon was inside an old priest. She was the one that hated demons.
