"Oh dear..." A woman said placing a hand over her mouth. "These are some ugly girls... Not at our place... We just brought a new girl in a few days ago, so I'm sorry..." The man said. "Well, one should be okay." The woman said.

"Then I will entrust one to you. Sorry, ma'm." The shoulder length white haired male said. "Then we'll take the one in the middle." The woman said, pointing to Sumiko. "She seems so honest." 'I'll work as hard as I can!' Tanjiro thought. Tanjiro was brought into the house. The four followed down the path. Mono could feel the lustful stares of the people in the crowd. Uzui was annoyed with the group. "You guys are so worthless. I can only sell you for cheap." Uzui grumbled. "I told you to let me redo their make-up but you said that it was good enough." Mono said.

"I know what you said! These idiots just don't have good taste." Uzui said, confidently. "I'm sure that's what it is." "That's exactly what it is, right guys?"

"I'm not talking to you." Zenitsu said. A vein popped on Uzui's head. "You mad because I made you dress like a girl? You were the one who said that you'll listen to whatever I say." Uzui said to Zenitsu. A crowd gathered around in the center of the town. Inosuke pointed out to the large group. Uzui looked closer at the crowd. "Ahh, it's an 'Orian Parade'. It's 'Koinatsu Orian'. From the Tokito House." Their was something off about the woman. Something wasn't right. "The highest ranked prostitute is going to greet one of her customers. In any case, she's flamboyant. She has a bunch of people following her." Zenitsu went up to Uzui's face and started yelling at him. He assumed that the Orian was his wife. He couldn't imagine how beautiful his other two wives were. "She's not my wife!!" Uzui yelled, punching Zenitsu in the face. "You'll tell because their names are on the lists!!"

A woman came up to Inosuke. She was from the Ogimoto House. She had asked for Inosuke. Uzui waved the male off. "Be well, Inoko. Zenitsu was starting to freak out. 'It's just Mono-chan and I oh no.'

"Imouto! Imouto is that you!?" A voice cried out. The white haired teen turned to a girl nearly as old as Uzui. The girl jumped on Mono and pulled her into a hug. The taller woman nuzzled into Mono's face. "It's so good to see you again, I haven't seen you in forever! You've matured a lot!" The boy's stared at the two girls interactions. "You've also grown into these to!" The woman said cupping her breasts. Mono's face flushed bright red along with the boys. Mono cupped her breasts and turned away from the woman, embarrassed.

"Hi Cana-nee." Mono muttered out. The dark haired woman led Mono away from the two boys and led her to the Tokito House. Cana had dragged Mono into her room. She would talk about her job, how her life turned out. In her room she had barrels of alcohol. Cana even changed Mono's hair and outfit. The young teen now wore a rather revealing yukata, but it was better that whatever Uzui had picked out for her. She had grabbed a make-up kit. "Let's do your make-up now!" Mono quickly ran out of the shoji door and ran down the corridor, passing the other women. The woman had whispered while watching the two sisters run down the hallway.
Mono slid a shoji door open and slammed it shut. Mono stared at Tanjiro who sat on the floor. "Hi, Mono-san." Tanjiro said staring at her with a dot eyed expression. "What are you doing here?" The burgundy haired male asked. "My older sister dragged me here. "Your sister?" Mono nodded. "She's trying to put make-up on me so I ran away." Mono said. Tanjiro's face turned red when he noticed her yukata. "What are you wearing, what happened to the other outfit?" Tanjiro asked. "My sister made me put this on. Tanjiro had no idea what to say to the white haired teen. A woman slid the shoji door open and greeted the two. She had asked 'Sumiko' to take some bags to Koinatsu Orian's room. Tanjiro agreed to do so. He picked up most of the bags. Mono grabbed the others. "I'll help you." Mono said. "Thank you, Mono-san."

The two had passed two young women talking. One of them said something about a woman 'Losing her footing'. Tanjiro went over to them and asked what it meant. "It means running away without paying your debts. If they find the person who ran away something bad will happen to them." Mono explained to the male. The two women agreed with the white haired girl. One of the woman had mentioned Suma. One if Uzui's wives. A door slid open to reveal a woman with Daki took a form of a young girl with long black hair and lime green eyes with long eyelashes.

She appears to abide to the characteristics of the oiran style, having her hair styled into a bun with numerous hairpins and combs in it, as well as wearing traditional makeup. She wears a layered kimono with different flower patterns. 

The woman had scolded the two ladies and told the two teens to follow her. The woman had offered the two candy. Tanjiro had asked about Suma. "Suma-orian is my... big sister." He aaid making an odd face. The woman had explained everything to them.

"You." Mono looked up at the woman. "When did you get here? I've never seen you before." The woman said. "Cana-nee brought me here." Monk said. "I see, she's a nice person. She has an interesting style, but she's a wonderful person." The woman said.

"Is my baby sister making new friends? That's so sweet." The woman's voice said. Mono bolted out of the room, her sister chasing after her. "Come on baby sis lets spend more time together!" The dark haired woman and the burgundy haired male watched the two run down the hall. The woman giggled as she watched the two girls. "I appreciate the love and affection big sister, but please give me a break!" Mono said jumping out of a window. The girl ran along the fence jumping from rooftop to rooftop. Her older sister keeping pace with her.

Uzui sat on rooftop watching Mono being chased by her oldersister who was carrying the make-up kit.

Mono ducked down as she sat on the rooftop. Mono lied on the roof catching her breath. "I found you!" The dark haired woman said staring at the white haired girl.

"Eehee!!"

(Oh my god I felt so sorry for him when he made this face

Mono: "Time for a Taisho Secret. I've never liked putting on make-up. I feels like it shouldn't be there."
