Guest(3): Thank you so much for really, I plan to bring the slayer into this, but I want to wait until later chapters.
Guest(4): Thank you! Also nope, Daki is in the Kyogoku House. She will come a little later.
Nezuko stood in front of the Mistress's door with sweating palms. She didn't do anything and she knows this, but talking to a women of this area of work was intimidating to her. So she took a deep breath and nods firmly on the doorframe, awaiting for a response that came no longer than five seconds later.
"Come in Nezuko-san."
And so she did, sliding the door open and walking in carefully. When she looks forward to the older women, she had a light smile plastered on her face. The teen felt a little bit at ease and closes the door behind her. She sits across from her and sat up straight.
"You wanted to see me Seiichi-sama?" Nezuko asked politely. "Yes, I did. I would like to get to know you a little bit and inform you about this town, would that be okay?" Nezuko nods her head to confirm that she does indeed.
"Okay. First off, this district from where you came from is almost the complete opposite. People are more selfish and worried about themselves rather than others." She started, turning her head towards the window to their side. She watches the people walk by, her smile dropping instantly.
"Girls will betray and backstab you quicker than a blink of an eye. Even if some girls seem genuine, there's a high chance that they're hiding a mask behind it. They could want things from you, take things away, or break you from within."
Nezuko held her hands together tightly as she listens in. Sadly, she already figured something like this.
"These girls in my household, they were all sold without even knowing until they arrived. Even if they don't show it to you, please treat them with the upmost respect," she paused what she was saying to stand up to her feet and walk to her closet.
"it would mean a lot for me to have one girl who isn't so snide and bitchy." The women told more than asked.
"Yes ma'am. I'll cooperate with them." This brought relief on Seiichi's end, taking a breath out.
"Thank you dear. And here, I would like to give you these. My husband may have told you to buy you own decor for your room, but he never gave any sort of makeup, a yukata or a new kimono, right?"
Nezuko shakes her head no "Well, here you go dear. I hope its the right sizes and amount." What was set down in front of Nezuko was a case full of makeup, a folded up pastel pink yukata, and folded up pink and black floral double-layered kimono.
"Each girl is expected to have their makeup done by having on mascara, eyeshadow, eyebrows and lipgloss or lipstick. Either one is fine."
The black-haired teen felt her nerves starting to kick in again along with slight embarrassment. "U-Uhm.."
"What's wrong dear?" Seiichi asked when she hears her stutter and nervousness kicking in her voice
"I-I don't really know how to do makeup..my mom never worn it or told me about it growing."
Hearing such things made the Mistress snort and go into a small laughing fit. Nezuko sunk and lower her head out of her embarrassment, sighing sadly.
"Is that what you're embarrassed about? Oh dear, there's no need...no girl woke up one day and knew how to do it either." Seiichi wipes a tear that fallen from her eyes and kneels down in front of her "How about I teach you while I continue talking okay?"
To that, the girl agrees with ease and is met with a smiling women. "Okay..."
When Tanjirou left the bathroom to grab his sister, he finishes sweeping around the house as best of his abilities. Thankfully, after years and years of doing chores round the house, he was able to get it down and done well. "Okay sir, I finished.!" He told the Master of the house who was currently sitting outside the house, smoking a pipe.
"Huh? Oh thanks boy! That was rather oddly quick though. A re you sure you got every nook and cranny?" The man asked to which Tanjirou nods vigorously.
"Hm, ill be sure to check later. Don't want customers coming into a dirty house. Don't worry, its not because I don't trust you son," he took another hit and huffs out the smoke "it's jut the maids around here can be lazy and we have to yell at them to do better."
While Tanjirou found that to be a bit harsh, he knew it wasn't his place to say anything so he kept silent.
"Also, I need you to keep your hair up in either a ponytail or bun when you're not working." The man informs
"Yes sir!"
"Good." Taking another hit, the man turns around to Tanjirou with a stern look.
"Tanjirou right? Tell me how much do you love your sister?"
That question made the burgundy boy eyes widen, before relaxing "A lot sir. She's my baby sister and I'd do or give up anything to make her happy and keep her safe."
"Then, you know that if she doesn't fulfill her duties, she'll be dismembered right?"
Tanjirou's heart accelerated like a car running from the police after being caught red-handed. His eyes widen like he was a deer caught in the headlights. "W-What?!" He almost shouted
"Mm. Those guys that brought you here, they are in huge demand of both money and recognition. Their boss is merciless, impatient, and tends to act childlike. If they wish to see another day, they have to fulfill all their duties. And since your sister is the one who's in accountable of their money, if she fails, they'll have to kill her and sell her body parts to man-eating creatures called Demons."
'Demons? Like the ones my grandma told me as a child?' Tanjirou thought to himself, putting his chin in between his index finger and thumb.
"Which brings me to say this. Watch her, do everything you can to bring in customers for her. Sure, it'll hurt seeing your sister having to sleep with multiple guys and sometimes girls, but its better than letting her die."
Tanjirou didn't want to agree really, actually he found it better if he didn't agree to what he was telling him. Unfortunately, he smell truth and honestly off this guy. Maybe too much honesty for his liking, but it was besides the point. He had to take his word as absolute and deal with it. "Yes sir, I understand."
"Good boy, now can you go to the kitchen and prepare for lunch for the girls. Anything left over is your portion."
Tanjirou bows and walk inside the house "Yes sir!"
Kin chuckles to himself and sets the pipe down besides him "Such an honest boy."
Back with Nezuko and Seiichi, the women was sitting behind the teen. She watches Nezuko apply on her lipstick carefully, forming a smile on her face.
"Good girl...gradient lips are key to getting your customers. Men has a strange fetish for it and I find it incredibly both weird and fantasizing."
That statement made Nezuko giggle to herself, setting lipstick down in the box and rubs her lips together gently then popping them.
"Perfect. You look great darling.." Nezuko blushes at the compliment "Thank you madam."
"No need to thank me." Seiichi waves off, standing them both up to their feet. She made Nezuko fully face her, taking a look at her makeup up close. Her eyebrows were properly arched and shaded in more, her lashes were bold and long, the eyeshadow a shade of dark pink, and lips a gradient red. For extra, her cheeks had a hint of blush and her hair was up in her traditional bun with her ribbons holding it up like always.
"Your mother should be happy to birth a beautiful young lady that you are. You have a well defined body shape, a beautiful face, kind personality, and seem to hold a strong ground. At least that's what I hope."
Nezuko nods her head and looked at the women with a serious gaze. "Yes madam."
"Good girl." Seiichi pats her cheek and pulls her hands away in full. Before having the chance to speak up again, a knock became on the door.
"Yes?" Seiichi calls out. T he door slides open to reveal one of the girls who live here with a nonchalant face "Lunch ready ma'am."
The women smiles sweetly and nods her head to dismiss her. Seiichi turns to Nezuko and put a hand on her shoulder "Go eat Nezuko. Eat until you're completely full. If somebody tries to take your food, then swat their hand and mind about your business."
The black-haired teenager took her orders and walks out the room. She takes a deep breath, standing herself up with pure confidence as she pass the other girls that was talking to each other.
'Stand up straight, keep your head up high and keep your posture. Do not let those girls intimidate you or submit to their fear. One of my rules here is that you must walk around with confidence.'
Those were the Mistress's words. She had to walk in pure confidence and show that she owes nobody anything. She heard their remarks and only scoffs under her breath
"Little miss stuck up. Who does she think she is?"
"Psst, she probably came from a high-rental house and was spoiled like she's a princess."
"Just looking at her makes me want to punch her in the chest."
Nezuko could roll her eyes to herself as she made it to the dining hall. The table was long and full of goodies from all kind, making her nose flare up and stomach growl. She turns to one of the maids with red hair, seeing as how she was instructing her seat at the end of the table. Seeing this made her smile "Thank you." She then took her seat down and kept her hands in her lap as she was given her food.
The maid then speaks up "You're welcome. You can eat immediately, the other girls usually don't wait for anybody to come and eat with them." Nezuko found that to be a little disappointing, but didn't set on it. "I see...what about you guys? Don't you sit down and eat with us?"
The red head laughs nervously and shook her head "No, we only eat what's left over."
This left Nezuko feeling empty and upset slightly. If this was the case, then Tanjirou probably has to deal with the same thing.
"Hey, that boy is your brother right?" The maid brought up to zoom her out of her thoughts "Huh? O-Oh yes!"
"He's really kind and fast. He gets things done faster than any of us."
Nezuko's cheeks roses up a little red and her laugh came out shaky. "O-Oh! Well Nii-san has always been a productive boy. He won't rest until all the work is done!"
"Do he really?"
"Mhm! It's hard to ever get him to rest unless he's strictly told so by any adult he respects...he's really kind and honest.."
The red-haired women nods her head and clasp her hands together "That's great to here. I'm glad to have a strong-willed person to-"
"Maribeth! Stop slacking and help me with the food!" Another maids yells through the kitchen. The red head laughs nervously and bows down deeply to Nezuko before waving her off and rushing towards the kitchen. The teen chuckles to herself, turning her attention to her food. It consisted things like Tonkatsu, Tamagoyaki, and Ginger Tea in large qualities. She put her hands together for a small prayer before digging in. She took a cut piece of her Tamagoyaki and bites down, her taste buds bursting as the melted cheese and cooked egg and cooked meat melts down in her throat. She smiles and her cheeks turn red as a small bit of happiness hits her, like it was a home cooked meal from home.
Though her moment was slightly interrupted when she hears wicked laughters from the others girls getting closer. She rolls her eyes as she continues on with eating her food.
The girls gotten to the table and sat down on the other end of the table away from Nezuko. She couldn't really make out what they were saying, but it didn't seem to bother her one bit. She saw Maribeth walk out with her hands full and served the two girls who immediately digs in and snatch what the red head did not put down yet.
Over the course of five minutes as Nezuko continues to devour her meal in front of her, all the rest of the girls came in and ate their food as well as gossip and talk amongst with another. She can admit that she felt a little lonely without her brother there to eat with her, but he's working for the both of them right now. She sighs to herself and finish her food quickly, standing up and grabbing her plates and cup. She took it into the kitchen which brought shock to the girls, whispering to another "What the hell does she thinks she's doing?" A blonde said to which the girls agrees "Ugh, she's so stupid I swear..!"
Another girl with black hair added on "I know right..!"
"It's always the country girls who're the dumbest.." The same blonde told her girls to which they all started laughing greatly.
Tanjirou, who was around the corner, heard all of this and felt a deep, burning rage build within. They stuck with greed, sex, bitterness, and anger. So much did he wanted to yell at the girls and make them apologize, which he was quick to do. He approach behind the girls and gave them the most daring, hard glare he ever could. "Don't ever disrespect my sister again or I promise you will come to regret it all."
His tone was icy cold and his glare made the girls feel like they were being shot at. They turnt around in full and nods their head vigorously "S-Sorry!"
Nezuko comes out of the kitchen, rubbing her hands clean with a towel that she threw away in a nearby trash can as the girls apologized to her brother. She tilts her head at the scene since she felt confused, so she walks toward Tanjirou with an uneasy smile.
"Nii-San, is everything okay-"
"Yup! Don't worry about it Nezuko!" Tanjirou quickly interrupts her to avoid pushing the conflict any further. And while it made Nezuko a bit uneasy, she just took his word as absolute and continues her walk towards her room. It might be best if she didn't try to stress over it longer than it should be.
"Weird.." she mumbles to herself
18+ Skip. I'll make a separate version if you guys want it!
The moonlight illuminate brightly in her room. Nezuko's body aches greatly and more than anything she wanted to rip her lower torso off. The way they grabbed her, the way they spoken in her ear, how rough and merciless they became. It was all a lot she had to bare within almost four solid hours without a break to clean up properly. All she could do was wipe herself off and brush her teeth in five minutes. She wanted to continue laying down, to cry herself to sleep knowing her brother can't come comfort her. He had to stay at the other side of the brothel to rest and prepare for a long morning ahead.
She couldn't stay like this any longer, she had to move and get some air. So using every bit of strength that she could, she lifts herself off the floor. She puts on her kimono that was discarded and fully stood up to her feet. She left her room with quiet steps and went to the back of the house, towards the door. The sounds of moaning and skin slapping against another drowned out the creaks the floor made, which is something Nezuko never thought she would have to be so thankful for. Finally she made it to the door, and with it not being locked, she easily slides it open and close after she steps out.
It was quiet a chilly night if she could say so herself, but her feet and legs were already so numb, she found it hard to really notice. She snuck from the back to get into the main part of town and let her bare feet touch against the cold ground. Thankfully it wasn't snowing here, so it was fine to keep walking from now.
At nighttime, the town was peaceful and quiet. The Red Lights surprisingly made the streets more alluring and gracious, which is a weird thing to say. She felt a smile became on her lips, but it was soon a straight look when she heard a loud sound. The sound wasn't what you would usually hear in a place like this. Fulfilling her curiosity, the teenage girl walks closer to the sound, keeping her eyes forward.
The closer she gotten, the more she saw a female around her age and a disturbing smell started to flood her nostrils. This girl in front of her, she had more muscular built than her. A lot more muscular built. Her hair, the color of black-to-blue ombré, was tied back in a ponytail. She seemed to have binding tape seems to be wrapped around her breast while wearing a one-sleeved kimono. Her eye, from what she could see, were green, pupils slitted like a cat, and then her mouth. No, her teeth had fangs that were bloodied.
That sudden feeling of fright hit her nervous system faster than she could react and she more than anything wanted to run away. But she wasn't given any chance when she was tackled down to the ground, making her let out a yelp of pain. The teen girl in front of her chuckles, moving her a hand to Nezuko's cheek
"My, My~ What a lovely young girl we have here..~ Feel lucky to be in the great presence of Inosuke Hashibira my dear~"
Such an alluring and seductive voice the girl had. Nezuko had the chance to look up to her to see her fully without fail. Her face held such gentleness and kindness, but her intentions were the opposite. Her cheek held a small bit of blood that gradually gotten bigger when going to her mouth. Some of it drips down to her nose, making her flinch each time. Nezuko's heart was racing a million miles per hour. This girl that was pinning her to the ground was not only inhuman, she was unnecessarily beautiful. It almost made Nezuko fluster, if she wasn't so scared right now. The girl who was named Inosuke put her hand on the other teen's cheek to caress it gently
"Awe, don't be scared~ I don't eat weak ass prostitutes like you...they reek of cum and old farts. And judging how soft your skin is," her hand moves down to her neck and grips it tightly to where she was basically choking the black-haired female "You're a newbie huh?"
Knowing her position, she nods her head vigorously "W-What are you..? A-And..if I...am of n-no use to y-you..please j-just let...l-let me go!" Nezuko chokes out. Inosuke stares at her for two seconds before letting out a loud cackle. The grip around Nezuko seems to tighten more and more until Inosuke got done with her wicked cackles
"Let you go?! You really think I'd let you go?! You must of hit your head on the ground hard when I tackled your ass!" She leans down to her ear with a devilish smile and whispered "Fine. I'll let you out my hands for the night, but come tomorrow night or so help me I'll come drag you by the hair from whatever household you live in...got it?"
Once again, feeling like her life is on the line, Nezuko nods her head vigorously and it brought enough satisfaction to Inosuke to where she would release her neck and get from on top of her. Nezuko grabs onto her neck and coughs many times with a slight blurred vision.
"And to answer your previous question, I am what you would call a demon...fear and respect me will guarantee your survival. I don't have to be hungry to kill you.." This time when Inosuke spoke, it was full of venom, anger, and deceit. She didn't even make a properly goodbye as she disappeared from where she stood, leaving Nezuko there appalled and a sweat dripping down her face.
"What the hell is this place?"
