"Are you feeling well Y/n?" A muffled yet familiar voice calls out. The door creaks open slowly, showing a lovey but also terrifying woman, Shinobu Kocho. She wears her usual painted smile as I rub my eyes from having just woken up from a nap.
"Do you need any medicine?" The woman says, now sitting next to me on the bed. I groan as I attempt to sit up completely, letting out a cough.
"I don't think so," I reply," maybe if I just rest-"
"Don't be so silly," Shinobu cuts me off while feeling my temperature," you need to get well as soon as possible! After all, I don't want to see you in pain." The woman back hand presses on my forehead gently, waiting for a response.
"I'm fine really," I reply, letting my h/c hair blow in the slight breeze coming through the window," you don't have to worry about me so much." Shinobu furrows her brows as she places her hands on my shoulders. She lets out a sigh as she stubbornly continues to be persistent, obviously not leaving the room until I say yes.
"Fine," I say, reluctantly complying. Shinobu's hands flutter off my shoulders, now her right hand resting on my head while her left sits on her lap.
"Great!" Shinobu replies happily," I'll have Aoi bring it straight away! Don't go anywhere!" Hah, as if I could anyway being on bedrest. Shinobu leaves the room as I begin to lay back down waiting for Aoi's arrival.
Even though I am 16, Shinobu insists to treat me like a child. I understand that we are very close, but I still wish she would treat me like my age. It's been going on for a while so I'm not surprised at her actions they can just be annoying sometimes, especially since I'm treated as such around others as well. It would just be nice to be taken seriously for once in my life.
Shinobu says I'm treated like that solely because I have 'such a cute face'. Ugh, her repetitive back-handed compliments are exhausting at some times, but I've learned to simply nod in agreement while ignoring her completely.
"Hey Y/n," A stern Aoi says," I brought your medicine." The girl hands me a cup of some murky green liquid seemly being the stuff I'm about to ingest. I shiver in disgust as I swiftly gulp down the medicine.
(like a pro ^^)
After I finished, Aoi takes the cup and gives me another glass filled with water, still looking as stone-faced as ever.
"Thank you," I say, briefly showing a smile. She glances at me then looks away blushing in embarrassment, leaving the room without saying a word, shutting the door behind her.
I stare at the glass of water before drinking it down. I look out of the window to see a beautiful reddened sky with dark orange clouds to pair.
I immediately get to my feet and walk to the the door, wearing only my Nagajuban. I slip on my geta and walk out the room, the door making the usual loud creaking noise. I walk down the hall hearing nothing but birds chirping outside while my slippers hit the wooden floors. It doesn't take long before I reach the back doors. I slide them open and walk out on the patio, the sky even more beautiful then if could've ever been indoors. The sky looking more lively than ever. I smile as I begin to walk further into the estates gardens.
Butterflies swarm the vibrant flowers and birds sing their song in the trees (even though it's like 6pm lmao). The metal gate glistened in the red glow making the garden look more youthful. I continue to wander in the garden as my mind wanders as well.
'Everything is perfect, it feels like a dream come true.'
Before long, I begin to lose focus of anything, including the time. The sky begins to turn from red to a dark blue quickly, the silver moon letting off a white hue. I cover my mouth as I look around me realizing that the day has fallen into night. I sigh knowing that Kocho is literally going to kill me.
I accept my fate and begin to walk inside. Obviously, me having the attention span of a goldfish, I begin to notice a pair of foot steps coming closer to the estate. I fixate my gaze on where the sound is coming from. I begin to notice a rather tall figure walking along the outer gates path. My eyes widen as I begin to adjust them trying to recognize the strange person.
The figure was tall, about 6ft to be exact, also seeming to be of a male physique. The figure had long hair and seemed to not even notice my presence. The figure didn't seem to be a demon, for the sole reason if it was it would've killed me on the spot so that was out of the question.
"Y/n, what are you doing out here?" A familiar voice says. I turn around to see non other then mama Kocho looking rather upset with me. The figure looks over at me as I am practically dragged inside by Shinobu, how embarrassing...
"Who was that?"
Note: I think I might call Shinobu 'mama kocho'. Idk what do y'all think lmao
