"What the fuck happened?" The curse word is harsh and thick on her tongue, an unknown in her life until now.
Her eyes are welling with tears as she grips the seat underneath her, her shoulders shaking with rage.
Lady Manami's eyes are cold, her mouth twitching into a scowl.
"There was…an incident, while you were out."
"An incident?" Sakura whispers, her voice hoarse, her throat itching as the words burn her mouth. "An incident—no, you tell me right now—"
"Calm down—"
"No!" Sakura screams. A nurse jumps. "Tell me. Now. Or I will cut off your fingernails one by one until you can only blubber the truth."
A vein jumps in Lady Manami's throat.
The Okiya mother swallows hard.
"There have been several…incidents in the akasen district. A new drug was released on the street, an aphrodisiac of sorts."
Tears burn her eyes and rage coats her tongue. "You…you did this."
It is not a question.
Lady Manami answers anyways. "I have clients to keep happy."
Her blue eyes, (like the sky above a cornfield, like her first mother, dead in a bathroom) capture her green ones.
"You understand, my dear."
Enjoy! Tell me your thoughts! :)
