"Chichi had been rushing through the night market across her workplace, a very busy street full of vendors and restaurants. It was a lovely tourist town that rested Atop mount khara.
It was a windy night, a marker of seasons changing. Every wisp of air made her earrings flutter ever so slightly. She held tightly onto her golden purse while making her way across the long uphill road to the shop that sold footwear. Wearing a baby pink kimono esque dress with black and white designs she was in formal traditional attire reserved for the beauties that resided along rich emperors.
She had recently started working for a tourist spot. A large castle that had been turned into a hotel.
She hurried back to the castle soon after purchasing her new sandals. She had been assigned a special guest who wished to remain anonymous. Her only explanation is the guest was probably someone from the otherworld or space. They were a common sight to see but due to discrimination and political tension. Strict rules were set for foreign visitors arriving on Earth as well as for earthlings interacting with said visitors.
She had to be up to standards. Her job involved serving and entertaining guests from across the country. She only entertained guests who needed innocent company.
She registered her reentry at 8:10pm. Shit I'm late. Sliping into the corridors she quickly made her way to her private room. Fixed her make up and did other touch ups. She hadnt expected breaking her shoe after getting fully dressed in her outfit. But thankfully shops werent that far so she took a quick detour
"Mistress Chichi your guest is waiting" the man at the desk knocked on her room. She pulled out her weaponry. Ready to put on a show. She gulped nervously. This was the first time she had been called to a private room to perform her martial arts.
Just then her phone buzzed.
"Hey Bulma?"
"Chichi, once you are done with work don't forget to pick a box of chocolates for yourself for our double date in the castle today. Bulma beamed.
Ill not forget Chichi laughed. Make sure the kids are tucked!
Chichi waited at the door. Nervous.
"Macha who is this person?"
"Nis, A close friend of the politician Jamba"
"Not sure who that is" Chichi sweat dropped.
"Hes currently running as Chief Minister for the state of Woodford, Dont worry he has plenty company and your performance is only for his guests."
"I see"
"And the guests?" Macha smiled and leaned a bit closer to her ear " just don't get too close"
"What do you mean?" Chichi gulped.
"They arent the best guests, they drink and play around with the entertainers sometimes, just make sure to be patient"
Chichi gave a heavy sigh "oh dear" they sounded like trouble. she looked up. The door slid open.
The whole entrance was lit up in candlelight, and the glass walls were makeshift wine and gin containers that bedazzled the walk way.
This was the special hall, one with 10 mini guest rooms connected to it.
The lady with a snake like tongue hissed at chichi for making her wait. I said follow me. Chichi walked through the little corridor to meet her eyes with a 40 ft high ceiling and beautiful lighting chandeliers.
Servers served food and chatter to the guests. Some men drunk while others played at the casino.
She clutched her dress. making sure to not trip over her own clothes as her shoes flunked on the wooden floor.
The door slid open and she was welcomed by some drunk women in golden kimonos. Come in mistress. The tall woman smiled. Chichi immediately noticed behind her. The man had been laying on his side head propped up by his right arm. His slick black hair, a white turtle neck long shirt and genie pants. Black shiny boots outstretched..
He looked awfully well dressed.
Chichi had only taken a seat on one of the empty pillows waiting for instructions from the lady overlooking the private suite. Chaos.
Woman danced around men. Each man had a distinct alien marker. She was told she would be in the presence of one person. Was she going to be called into another room? What a weird guest to make a weird specific request.
The lady overlooking looked extremely annoyed by the guests. She rushed into one of the rooms the man had walked into. Only moments later walking out angrier not knowing what was happening. Chichi asked her what was taking so long for her timing was past the clock.
Oh, are you...?
Im the martial arts performer scheduled but my time is overdue.
Yes. Madame. In here. The woman gestured chichi into another room. A room where a woman sat quielty.
Chichi gulped. it made her all the more nervous. This was her first time entertaining a private guest. And she was humanoid!
Madame your martial arts performer will soon begin. The woman perched up on her seat. Good. Please begin. She ushered chichi.
Her heels clicked against the gold tinted ivory tiles. The white walls and the purple fall ceiling. This room was new to her.
She gulped nervous. Finished her performance. By the end of it the girl had been picking her nose.
Excuse me?! Chichi slipped as the woman appeared bored. I mean, thank you! She said apologetically and bowed.
Just then the man she had seen barged into the room. Maga. We need to leave.
The angry lady emptied the suite as the performers had finished their job. Leaving Chichi behind. Hey you, the snake toungued woman called for Chichi
Chichi walked back in the the large suite. Most lights wete turned off with only the man she saw once tackling another.
"Time to meet an urgent request, your salary eill be doubled if you do"
Before even getting an answer the woman puled chichi towards her and made her follow.
What the heck. Chichi sighed at the utter chaos between rooms in front of her.
They approached double doors to a quiet room. In here, she smiled. Opening the doors to let her in. she stayed behind and grapped the door by the handles.
What? Wait. Im a performer. Are you sure this is the right guest service?! Chichi looked back frightened.
"I know this is your first time in the private room section, rest assured, you're safe" she hissed. Please sit on one of the cushion in that room. She gestured. The doors shut with a soft thud.
Hold on! Chichi gasped as the room got dark,only lit by the candles placed at the corner of the giant room Not paying attention to her growing fear. She walked deeper into the suite. the balcony the room right across the entrance. Why does this guest like to sit in the dark, chichi huffed and puffed and the weird vibes she got.
"Took you long enough" a male voice caught her attention in the dimly lit room.
Chichis eyes scanned the man sprawled across the cushion. The scent of alcohol captured her attention.
come closer the man sat up. She noticed the man wearing a traditional samurai outfit.
His face covered with a black veil
Chichi gulped. Realising the strangers eyes followed. She stopped midway realising why she had been called.
Im not a mistress of pleasure. Chichi delcared. A hint of anger escaped her voice.
I was told. The man kept his gaze fixed on her eyes. She could tell a smile behind th veil.
Her hands went cold.
Then should i begin my performance Chichi stated sternly.
I did not ask that of you
Then what do you want
Im paying you to entertain me The man stated.
The nerve of this man. Chichi thought
She brushed off her doubts and took a seat before him. Not daring to look at his eyes.
Will you take off my helmet and mask. He asked in a softer voice. Almost a whisper.
Chichi looked up in confusion. Her eyes took in the man before her.
He was a giant. Well built man. She noticed the armour all over his body.
The helmet he talked about. It was similar to that of a warrior. But it was bedazzled with gems. It acdentuated the rest of his attire. Giving off the aura of a king.
The man unveiled his face. Revealing a handsome face. Dark eyes stared back impatiently
Chichi gasped
He smiled deviously. But Chichi ignored his threatening aura.
I can do a performance with my weapons and thats all you'll be getting.
He stared back all the while not even flinching at her words.
Have you lost your mind woman. He gave her a blank stare.
A shiver ran down her back.
Do you know who I am?. His expression now threateningly calm.
Chichi felt fury in his statement.
What do you mean? Youre a guest... stop playing games? Chichi felt scared.
Oh he let out a deep laugh. There was no way this was heppening.
"Sure, show me your skill, and so will I"
"What?"
"Im the one who arranged and booked the suite, Therefore I do have the right to lay a hand on you. His head cocked to the side. His eyes observing her dress intently.
I only called you because you were one of the worst rated entertainers.
"Sure, show me your skill, and so will I"
"What?"
"Im the one who arranged and booked the suite, Therefore I do have the right to lay a hand on you." His head cocked to the side. His eyes observing her dress intently.
"No!" Chichi understood the implications. And with that she slapped him instantly.
"Raising your hands on a guest like me will hurt you"
"Then let go of me" Chichi struggled as he began running his hand across her face.
You are free to leave! Chichis eyes shot up.
I - he slurred.
"I don't have time to discuss." Chichi said and surprised him . She wrapped her tiny arms around his neck surprising him and making him fall back and faint in his drunken state. Causing chichi to get tugged along.
Chichi choked the main guest into a dizzy and ran out. she didnt care and did not want to lose her dignity. but this was a bad move. the news was about to spread like wildfire... what was she going to do. could she lose her job? will she be arrested?
