Zenko was nervous.
She was an employee of the Mononokean, she was wearing her uniform; a beautiful blue kimono with navy and black patterns of birds and flowers. A new customer had come in, in order to request the help of the Mononokean as usual; she greeted him with a bow and leaded him to the tea room of the manor that was Itsuki's home. The Mononokean was now not just a little room for tea, but a huge house with many rooms, the Mononokean had told Itsuki that just a little tea room wouldn't be enough for him, his employees and, of course, his flower.
So she bounded herself to a house, now she has eyes everywhere which was a relief for Yahiko and her, the most trusted employees of the Mononokean. Their uniforms where different from the others, Yakiko's red and orange kimono and her blue kimono were sings that they responded to Itsuki directly. Yahiko was Itsuki's personal servant and Zenko was the Hanae's.
Mononokean's employees never stayed the same for long, except for those two, they always committed the error of pass the limit with Hanae, but again, it wasn't that he stopped them. In fact, Hanae liked to seduce them and see them fall for his beautiful smile and his creamy skin. She didn't know what had happened when they were away for a year, no one knew. Perhaps the Legislator, even Justice but that was all. The Executive truly hated coming to the Mononokean and he wasn't welcomed either; so Zenko hasn't seen him for a long time and she would prefer it to stay that way to.
Back to the present, the costumer had brought a beautiful red kimono, with patterns of flowers in white, dark red, orange and yellow; it was like in a red field sunset's flowers blossomed, the obi was pink and light orange. It has a beautiful kimono indeed; the problem was that the costumer hasn't made any attempt of handing it to her in order to give it to Hanae later. Some yokai were curious, they all knew about the flower of Mononokean's master and some just couldn't help themselves, they went with a present and tried to give it to Hanae. It was then when the Earth became Hell, Hanae seduced them, wore or ate what they brought and the Mononokean warned Itsuki. She knew that today was one of those days, she felt it her gut.
She sighed and bowed in front of the client, neatly, in a lovely and correct form. It was a man today, he had a humanoid form; Zenko guessed he was most likely a ghost and a curious one. He was handsome, brown short hair, fair skin and chestnut eyes; of course not as handsome as Itsuki but that doesn't mattered to Hanae.
"Dear costumer, I will bring some tea. Please, stay here while the master comes." She said, just how many times had she said it? Zenko had already lost the count, long ago.
Zenko was nervous because of the mess that he and his stupid curiosity will bring, without forgetting the lust obviously. One of the most famous rumors of the Underworld was how beautiful was the 'flower' of the Mononokean.
The first time that it happened the Legislator was temped of making a new rule in order to protect his fellows yokai, but Haruitsuki's glare and something wrote in the scroll of the living room stopped him in the same instant that he was about to say "This is a rule." Instead he simply said "Forget it; just don't make such a mess again, please." And kept smoking while he retracted from the place and went back home. Then Zenko knew that no matter what happened no one would come after Itsuki and the Mononokean.
Zenko saw Yahiko on one of the corridors, he was as lively as when she met him even with Itsuki, with them Hanae and Itsuki kept being the same, but they knew exactly where the limits were just Fuzzy had the freedom of cuddle with Hanae. And she sometimes could see that sly and seductive Hanae that brought everyone to their knees, that scared her. She was afraid of the boredom of Hanae and the bloodlust of Itsuki, which filled every single space of the house when he found Hanae with someone other than Fuzzy, Zenko or Yahiko.
"Zenko!" the fox screamed happily, no one had been murdered in a while and they even played yesterday all together, even Hanae. "What's the matter? Your face is pale." He asked worried, then his ears popped out and his eyes opened to show the black sclera and yellow and red irises. "Another stupid." He said angry, why when the things started to be good someone came and fucked them up? He would never know.
That was all they needed to know that the stupid ghost had gone to find Hanae. And Itsuki would do nothing until the Mononokean said something, and the Mononokean wouldn't say a thing until Hanae started to take off his clothes. They should start to gather the cleaning stuff; this would be a busy afternoon.
The young man was searching where would that 'flower' could possibly be. A nice and faint essence filled his sense suddenly, he was already almost in the most inner part of the house; it smelled like clean soap and flowers, and sex.
When Akira heard about the story of the Mononokean's flower he was so curious… being alive he had been a Don Juan and even now he had success with the ladies, and men, of the Underworld. So if he could share the bed with the 'flower' of the Mononokean he would be even more famous!
Finally he reached the end of the hallway and opened the door; he spotted a human figure in blue clothing. The boy turned around and a sugary smile found a way to his rosy lips, he had bedroom eyes and something in his moves was so alluring that Akira found himself licking his lips.
The light blue kimono, as beautiful as the one that he had brought, slipped form his shoulder and let see a silken and soft skin. Some of the chest, not much, was also exposed. At last, the beautiful creature in front of him spoke in a tempting voice.
"Oh, a guest…"
