When the Nurarihyon woke up, he was sitting on a chair at the edge of a long table on a grand dining room
Still dizzy, he shook his head and blinked a few times before taking in this new enviroment
The entire place was western style.
Fancy, decorated mostly in red and filled with luxury.
Crystal chandeliers illuminated the place, a red carpet with golden details adorned the floor, the windows were covered by thick drapes and, in front of him, the table was filled with silverware and empty porcelain dishes.
At the table there were also another three chairs, identical to the one he was sitting at, also with dishes and silverware laid in front of them, however, no one was sitting there.
As the elderly youkai tried to make sense of his surroundings, a voice that almost made him jump out of the chair reached his ears
"Good morning, Mr. Nurarihyon"
His eyes went wide as he gulped down in terror
Just by hearing that voice he shivered, there was no way he was ever going to forget it for as long as he lived
It was the voice of the singer, the last voice he had heard at that god forsaken forest, the one that had captured him.
The Nurarihyon's body went stiff, was this another illusion? If he turned around would he see the same thing he saw at the forest? Was he brought to that place just to be tortured once again?
"Are you alright? It would be very bad for us if you were broken already"
His worries were soon put to rest as the face of a young man with long blue hair and cold eyes stretched behind his chair to meet him.
"A-are you..."
He said, glad he was finally able to see a human face, but still nervous about how he should refer to whoever that person was.
"If I'm the one that picked you up at the forest? Indeed, I am."
From fear, the Nurarihyon was quickly overtaken by anger, he wanted to shout, to demand that the boy answered why he had brought him there and what the hell he was.
But he took a deep breath, quickly dismissing the idea, offending that young man was the last thing he should do in this situation.
"I see... well, how may I call you?"
He asked calmly, his leader side taking charge
"People call me The Caretaker"
The nickname confused the Nurarihyon, but he nodded regardless
"Mr. Caretaker, then? Considering that I'm still alive I assume you want something from me?"
He wondered, already considering how he could manipulate this situation in his benefit.
However, the young man shook his head
"I won't be the one you will be talking with, she should be arriving soon enough"
The Caretaker said, pointing to the vacant chair at the other end of the table
The Nurarihyon raised his eyebrowns in surprise
"Oh... so this is a leader-to-leader talk?"
He innocently asked, but quickly regret these words as the expression of his captor suddenly changed
From cold indifference, the young man's face suddenly twisted in a gleeful smile
"You... you are about to meet the most fantastic woman alive, the most explendid being to ever exist in the universe"
