"Now Chiho,  you are to remain in this room until either I or the guards have sent for you and nothing more. Do you understand?"

Chiho, with pupils dilated continued to look forward, sitting on the back of her knees at the foot of their shared bed. One of the elder maids sat behind her and brushed her hair back in soft continuous motions back and forth, back and forth.

If one were to look at Chiho they would asusme she is a precious doll with large blue eyes staring into the vacant space. 

Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth..

The eldest maid siad nothing but purse her lips shut and remain her eyes fixed on her silver-blue hued strands that glimmered in the light. 

Kojitsu was unamused, annoyed even at how vacant her stare had become, how lifeless  her expressions were ,from a formally far distance,  showed so much light  now were just.. there. Staring. 

Back and forth, back and forth..

With a huff, he threw on his kimono jacket, stretched his hands forward and looked down at the elderly maid and Chiho. If he wasn't due for this special meeting with the lord of the western lands he would have stayed behind and ravaged her more. As much as he hated the silence, it was something about having Chiho so close in his grasp after waiting for so long that made him want her all the more. 

She knew nothing of the arrangement nor did he feel the need to delve that information to her just yet but he had to get her out of that stupor if she were to be presented to the Lord of the Western Lands as a proper dowry but only as a last resort of course. 

"See to it that she is taken care of when I come back .I have important business to attend to." huffed Kojitsu.

"Aye, my lord." Murmured the maid.

The look of contempt spread across Kojitsu's crystalline face for a brief moment before softening mid-focus back to Chiho. 

Her skin - pale, flawless and not a bruise in sight across her porcelain flesh lips rosened and full as if coated with the paintbrush from the underworld in the finest of spider lilly dye. Her eyes translucent and cerulean in pigment. She reminded him of the blossoms that bloom only during the full moon.

His... little moon blossom ,perhaps.

Bending down to meet her eyes, he cupped her chin only slightly. He felt the maid cease her brushing which made him avert his gaze to pierce her wrinkled husk.

"I didn't say to stop brushing so don't take it upon yourself to do so. I'm merely saying goodbye."

"Aye, my lord." Replied the maid almost in a rehearsed tone.

Kojitsu motioned himself forward, pressing his lips against hers for a brief moment before indulging himself to slip his tongue inside of her mouth, circling back and forth as she remained fixed in place and the maid continued to brush her hair back and forth.

Breaking their spittle-filled lock not a moment longer to spare, Kojitsu fastened himself once more and headed downstairs to meet his esteemed guest.

When the coast was clear, however, the elder maid ceased her brushing and placed her hands on Chiho's cold shoulders.

"Oh, child, just what has he done to you... What is it that you've seen that we havent already?" Her voice was sorrowed with pity for she had seen this before in another concubine. She never recovered. That concubine was her dearest friend, Tomoka.

Coming back to reality, the elder dug in her breast pocket, gripping the hair ornament that Naomi begged her to give to Chiho if she saw her knowingly they change shifts going upstairs to tend to the master upstairs. The elder initially sought against it, wanting to be completely uninvolved but Naomi begged and begged until she refused to eat for days.
