HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, RISEOFTHEBLOSSOM!
I know this is out a little later than I expected it to be, because it was supposed to be out on your birthday, but this week has been hell personally.
I hope you had a wonderful day!
As well, this isn't done with a beta, so if you see any typos, I apologize in advanced.
After being told by Shisui minutes ago that Sakura was here, both Itachi and Sasuke stayed put, the former sighing heavily.
"This is your bet, Ototo. Might as well meet her," Itachi reminded his younger brother, who only answered with a 'hn'.
"I know, it is such a drag, but it is your idea. You should introduce yourself at least. You aren't going to win if you stay here and mope."
"I'm not moping," Sasuke answered with an even tone, hoping he doesn't show that his older brother got to him with that comment.
Sighing once more, Itachi got up from his seat and made his way towards the exit, knowing he might as well get over this as well. Even though he wasn't apart of the bet himself, he felt like he had to at least introduce himself to the new girl since they were going to be in close proximity at least.
Without another word Itachi entered their office of sorts to see the pinked haired woman sitting with her legs crossed at her ankles.
Shisui perked up, happy that one of them had arrived.
"Well, well, cousin. I didn't think you would have come. Sakura, this is Itachi, Itachi-"
"I know who it is." Itachi cut Shisui off, his eyes stuck on her.
Noticing she had been staring, Sakura began to blush.
"Uhm… how do you know my name already?" She began to ask, making Shisui laugh nervously.
"We know everyone!" the older cousin had commented, not wanting her to know that they've been watching her live for some time now.
The younger cousin simply nodded, not wanting to give away that tiny part either, since it was him who started to basically stalk her.
"I assume my younger cousin here has explained things to you?"
The pinknette shook her head.
"Not much. Only that I needed to meet you and another person."
"Oh yes, my younger brother. I assume you will meet him eventually. He's just a little shy."
"So then… you know why I'm here? Why I'm dead?" Sakura questioned.
"Why you are dead, no. I haven't the slightest clue, but why you're here instead of with the others in hell? I can answer that. Basically the simplest way to explain it is that you have been selected to serve us."
The woman eyeballed the younger demon. She hadn't blown up on him just yet so Itachi felt it safe to keep going.
"You see, us demons run Hell. It's not like the fables and kiddie stories people tell you to make sure you do the right thing but its ruled by our family. And sometimes we need some… help of sorts. You've met Kakashi when you arrived here, correct?"
Sakura mumbled a tiny 'yes' loud enough for Itachi to hear.
"Then that is basically why you're here. We have chosen you to… help up."
"You mean basically be a slave?" She asked, raising a brow.
Shisui cleared his throat, hoping it wasn't going to get too heated.
"Not that you are a slave, just an… indentured servant that will help us for the rest of eternity by doing things we ask of you, but no. Not a slave per se."
The woman began to laugh uncontrollably..
"So let me get this straight… I died and was sent to Hell for whatever reason, and you guys have chosen me to be your slave? What in the world did I do to deserve this?" Tears began to form in her eyes, but it was from the humour of it all, she wasn't going to cry just yet.
"You haven't done anything." Itachi shrugged.
Shisui glared at Itachi, hoping he wouldn't say anything else on the matter.
"...anyway, in a few minutes, Kakashi will come and show you where you'll be staying. If you have any questions, you can ask him. Now if you excuse me, I have to get back to work."
Itachi turned himself around and left, leaving Shisui and Sakura alone.
"He's a serious person, isn't he?" Sakura asked Shisui, making a soured face.
"Naw. You should see him when he's actually serious. This is him being relaxed," he commented before calling for Kakashi.
It didn't take but a second for him to appear, bowing his head in respect.
"I leave her in your care." Was all Shisui said before exiting the room as well.
"We'll see you again soon, Sakura-Chan!" He smiled brightly before disappearing through the other doorway.
Sakura sighed, turning to look at Kakashi. Before she was able to say anything, he cleared his throat.
"I assume you have questions?" Kakashi asked her. Sakura nodded her head, making the white haired man roll his eyes.
"Fine, but you get three questions today," He explained, turning around and motioning for her to follow.
Sakura had followed Kakashi. For the first few minutes, they both stayed quiet until she decided to ask her first question.
"Do you know why I'm here? It seems like it's some kind of cruel joke." She started. Ending when Kakashi shook his head no.
"There are only a few people who truly know that answer. Unfortunately I'm not one of them. If I were, then I would not be a servant." Sakura chuckled at that, finding that he was telling the truth.
"Do you know why you are here?"
"Yes, I do. But I have been here in Hell for a long time, so of course I would find out. Plus being a favourite of the demon brothers, I get to know a lot of things."
Sakura nodded and thought to herself quietly as they walked.
"What made you a favourite?" she wanted to know, hoping to get to know the other servant a little more.
He stopped walking without warning. He looked over his shoulders, his mismatched gaze staring at Sakura, making her feel small.
"Do you really want to know?"
Sakura understood the seriousness of what he asked, holding her breath as she nodded her head, waiting for the answer.
Kakashi sighed.
"You seem innocent, but I'll let you in on a little secret." He motioned for her to come closer. When she did, he leaned in close to her ear.
"Sexual favours one of them particularly likes."
The answer made Sakura blush, stuttering before she came up with a sentence.
"D-do I have to do that, too?"
"If they ask it of you, but I doubt they would. They already know you're too innocent." Kakashi chuckled before he began walking again.
"Wh-which one?"
"Now, now, Sakura-chan. You've already had your three questions. I'm not obligated to answer any more." He chuckled some more, mostly at her expense.
"It's not so bad once you get used to it. You'll learn as you go along. But to make sure you're not going to go berserk or anything, just know that that's not what you're here for."
"Then what am I here for?" She whispered under her breath, but Kakashi could hear what she said.
"I already told you, you only had three questions." Now, though this door is the servants quarters. Pick any bed that isn't occupied. You don't really need sleep around here, because we don't necessarily sleep,, but it does make you feel more human if I do say so. I'll give you time to yourself before showing you the ropes, okay?" Kakashi winked, walking into the open space to sit himself on what appears to be his bed. The man sighed before pulling out an orange book from a pocket Sakura didn't even see.
Sakura looked around the open area, seeing that a couple of the beds had different things on them. The one to her right had an old teddy bear while the one beside it was void of anything, but the sheets were messy as if someone had slept in that bed already. She looked to the corner to see a bed with plain sheets. Thinking it was okay, she went to it and laid herself down, facing the wall. The girl closed her eyes, hoping that all of this will go away soon.
Kudos makes the depression stay away, so give 'em to me. 3
