Ju San slowly opened her eyes. Light poured in from the window, warming the couple. The servant blinked slowly, eyes adjusting to the light. Naki was still asleep, quiet snores escaping his open mouth. Ju San smiled. Although her head was still pounding and every inch of her was sore and bruised, she felt very content. She let out a satisfied sigh and lay still to feel the gentle rise and fall of the sleeping ghoul's chest. Ju San lazily looked outside, the sun was getting higher in the sky.

Suddenly, her heart almost stopped. All of the servants were up. She had not returned to the servant's quarters in time. She had overslept. Heart racing, she sat straight up. Naki made an oomph sound beneath her and his blood red eyes shot open.

"I'm late," she said, short of breath. Her eyes were wide and her voice was panicky. "They're gonna kill me."

Naki blinked slowly, eyes still adjusting to the light and hungover brain trying to comprehend what was going on.

"I overslept!" Ju San said, on the verge of crying. "The other servants! They're gonna know!"

Naki's eyes widened and he sat up quickly, nearly knocking his forehead against his girlfriend's.

"Make something up," he said desperately. "I'll shower. You go. You don't smell like sex."

Ju San's lip trembled and she began to cry. "They're gonna kill me."

"Ju San," Naki said firmly, placing a hand on her shoulder. "I won't let them hurt you."

The servant nodded and quickly dried her eyes, clambering off of her boyfriend's naked body and out of the bed. She gave him a mournful look and then gathered her clothes that were strewn about the floor. She allowed the black robe to slip off her slender body.

Naki managed to drag himself out of bed, and then wrapped his black robe around himself. He approached Ju San just as she had pulled on her skirt. The servant put back on her bra and then put her arms in the sleeves of her button up shirt. The blond ghoul gently brushed his nose against hers, and then one by one began to button the buttons on her shirt. When her shirt was closed, he pulled the vest onto her and adjusted her collar.

Ju San blushed and smiled up at him, tears in her deep brown eyes. He gently stroked the side of her face and gave her an encouraging smile. The couple shared a kiss, and Ju San left the bedroom.

She nervously strode down the hallway and hurried down the stairs. Ju San wondered for a brief moment if Hooguro was still in the den, but then decided she had more important things to take care of. She rushed into the servant's quarters, and the eyes of all the servants became focused on her.

Ju San swallowed hard, uncomfortable with every pair of eyes on her. She slowly walked down the aisle to her cot, but she was stopped short by Ichi.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Ichi said, shoving her.

Ju San stumbled back and looked for any signs of mercy in the crowd that was gathering around her. She found none.

"W—what are you talking about?" Ju San stuttered. She knew she could hold her own in a fight; she was S rated for Christ's sake. But if she released her kagune, she would be executed. That was the rule.

"Well," Ichi snapped, stepping closer. His eyes were ablaze with fury. "You got drunk at the party. And servants aren't allowed to drink."

Ju San winced. "I—I'm sorry."

"And then," the male ghoul continued, gritting his teeth. "You went upstairs and spent the night with the master."

"It's not like that!" Ju San said desperately, tears welling in her eyes.

"Oh cut the shit," Ichi snapped. "We heard all sorts of crashes down here. All the guests did too!"

"I—."

"What the fuck were you thinking?" Ichi yelled, Ju San cowering as the other servants looked less and less friendly. "You betrayed all of us! Stabbed us in the backs! Why did you do it? So Master will 'treat you special' just cause now you're his own little personal fucktoy?"

"No!" Ju San shouted, panicking. "No!"

"You know what the rule is," Ichi said, getting closer and baring his teeth. "For servants like you?"

"W—what's the rule?" Ju San stammered. She knew what it was, but part of her needed to hear it.

"Servants found having sexual or romantic affairs with a non servant," Ichi said, voice stone cold. "Shall be executed."

"No!" Ju San shouted, trying to find some courage. "We weren't having sex, we had a fight!"

Ichi raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. Sure."

"It's the truth!" Ju San lied.

"Shall be executed," Ichi said again, tone dark. He stepped closer and his eyes turned black and red.

"Ichi!" a servant barked pushing her way through the crowd.

A heavily pregnant Ju Nana looked at Ju San and then at Ichi with a stone cold gaze. After a few seconds of silence, the pregnant ghoul spoke.

"You're not going to kill her. One less servant would mean more work for all of us. And it would be a mess it clean up."

Ju San swallowed hard; these ghouls were playing jury. Ichi hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"But she banged the Master! That's against so many rules! She betrayed us!"

"I'm pretty sure she said they had a fight," Ju Nana said, crossing her arms.

"She's lying!" Ichi sputtered. "They slept together!"

Ju Nana raised an eyebrow. "And what proof do you have of that?"

"It's obvious! Plus, there was all those crashing noises!"

"Which could've been a fight," Ju Nana said flatly. "If you have no other 'evidence', then we are done here."

Ichi opened his mouth to respond, but Ju Nana's steely glare silenced him.

"Now if you'll excuse us," Ju Nana continued. "Ju San and I have plants to water."

With that, the black haired woman grabbed Ju San bruised wrist and dragged her out of the servant's quarters. When in the hallway she released her, and without looking back, Ju Nana continued to stroll to where the watering can was kept.

Ju San walked slowly behind her, not sure what to say. She had just no doubt saved her life.

"Ju Nana," Ju San said, finally finding her voice. "I—."

The black haired servant suddenly whirled around. She grabbed Ju San's collar and slammed the smaller woman against the wall with all her might. Ju San let out a squeak at the sudden impact, and she stared at Ju Nana with eyes wide with fear and lips trembling.

"Listen here," Ju Nana spat. "I don't know what the fuck you did with the master. You should not have been drinking, and that was a dumbass thing to do. And I don't know if you fought with him or banged him. And let me tell you this: if you did bang him, you sure as hell better not let me find out. And if you bang him anytime in the future, I will personally rip out your throat. You should not even be fantasizing about it, because it will never happen. You are the servant, and he is the master. Are we clear?"

Ju San nodded quickly, and Ju Nana released her collar and strode down the hall as nothing had happened, leaving Ju San dumbfounded in the hallway.
