Jealousy

3

The past few days Daki was so cruel to you, it was weird how she was so humble towards Muzan but to you, no, to everyone else she was just so rude. Lashing out whenever even the master of the house was scared of her, he kept everyone she ate a secret.

The thing is you wouldn't have gained anything from telling people she was a demon. The other girls had told you to stay away from her when you first came, but as Muzan instructed, you should tend to her every need.

It was a tedious job, and almost more hectic than working for Muzan as Daki was very picky and would change her mind on things quickly.

She had a weird obsession for pretty things, it made you uncomfy, although she had said that was the only reason she was gentle on me, so I had gotten lucky look wise.

At the moment I was cleaning her room, no one bothered me much as they knew I was always with Daki although they called her something else something you didn't quite catch.

You were trying to pick up bits of glass that was scattered around the floor carefully as you didn't want to cut your hands.

She had thrown it at one of the younger girls, and you quickly offered yourself up to clean up so they could leave the destructive demon alone.

You felt overwhelmed at the fact you were left here, it was the cause of that one night that Muzan decided to involve you in this he wanted to show you the type of woman he was interested in to let you know that was only a one-time thing and you wouldn't amount to anything a demon could.

Or maybe it was punishment for asking what was wrong, or he just wanted you to get closer to more demons as see his 'employees'.

Whatever it was you just wanted to leave, pausing in your work and not noticing a yellow-haired girl enter the room from behind you.

"Hey, what a beautiful lady like you doing with a droopy face like that?" She asked, you quickly fixed your face going back to cleaning up the glass.

You had it cradled in your hand, standing up but freezing when you came face to face with Daki, she was glaring at you and the girl on the floor.

"Hey you what are you doing in my room?!" She was demanding a response, your body shaking as you waited for the boy to give a response.

She seemed to be frozen too, shaking behind me, her hold on the bottom of my kimono trembling.

You couldn't think of a way to save her, you needed to think of something quickly before she got herself hurt by Daki.

"Hey! Are you deaf or something!?" She was looking right past you, a look of disgust on her face, as she was the type of person to base someone off of looks you knew, by her standards, she didn't find her even cute.

"Warabihime Oiran..." one of the younger girls stuttered, a sense of dread washed over you, they had just 'interrupted' an upper six demon, she could do anything to them.

"That girl just started here the day before yesterday so...." the girl stopped herself from speaking. This blonde had started the same day as you more or less meaning you were both as new as each other, you could probably help each other fit in.

Daki or Warabihime as they called her, glared at the two girls behind her, agitated that they would dare disobey her.

"So what if she is." She answered back, it was a response than you were expecting.

"Forgive me for entering without permission, the door was slightly open and I saw the girl in here looked distressed so I wanted to hel-"

"Could you be any uglier, you really make me ill. Wouldnt you be better off dead?" You knew you weren't receiving the comment but, you still felt pain for him.

You were still frozen in place too scared to move.

"You still haven't cleaned up every bit of glass,"  her gaze turned to you, your lip trembled as she made eye contact, you wanted to look away yet they were just too beautiful.

"Didn't I tell you to clean up?" She asked rhetorically.

You let out a sob of surprise as she pinched down on your ear, blood dripping as her nails pierced the skin and it felt like she had begun to rip the bottom of your lobe.

"Shut up!" That scared you shitless, you going back to whimpering. This is why he had left you here you were too weak, that's why he wanted to stay with this witch for as long as needed.

Your ear felt hot, you placed your hand over it as you began trying to tug her hand away only for her nails to dig in deeper.

"You're worthless at doing a simple job."

"I'm sorry, really I am I'll finish it just please stop." If anything you just wanted to leave with a scar, not amputation.

You could feel the guilt running off the girl who had the pottery thrown at her in the first place, although it wasn't her fault it happened anyway.

The blonde girl placed her hand over Daki's a tight grip on it, you feared for her, the want to protect those younger playing on your mind.

"What?" An irritated look played on her face.

"Please take your hands off her." She begged although she looked rather pissed off too, obviously not used to seeing an Oiran place harm on anyone.

"What did you say, let me hear you say it again." She dared, her grip on your ear becoming unbearably painful.

"Wait Warabihime forgive her she doesn't mean any harm-"

"Please take your hands off her." She asked again, waiting for a response.

"How dare you touch me." Her voice was like honey bit filled with rage, lifting her hand to strike him on his cheek.

She yanked your ear downwards so your body landed over the glass, you dropped when she pulled your ear, groaning out in pain, only to be shot a look before quickly picking up all the glass and leaving.

The housemaster had appeared by that time but you had already left that area.

Later that night you had gone to visit the girl whose name was Zenko, she had finally woken up and the younger girls were thanking her for standing up to that two-faced bimbo.

You had entered the room ushering the girls out so you could speak to her.

"I'd your ear ok?" Ahe asked before you could say anything.

You now felt bad cause she was asking you this as if she didn't get thrown across a corridor

"Yeah just soar, your cheek is very swollen, we will have to put something cold on it to make it better." You suggested, sitting across from him.

"Trust me it doesn't hurt that much." He reassured.

"Well anyways I have to thank you for earlier, I'm sure she would have ripped my ear off if you hadn't intervened." You showed your gratitude, caressing her cheek gently.

Omg a real girl touched me

"It was also nice of you to try and make sure she wouldn't hurt me." She said.

"Well if it makes you feel better about yourself, she has power beyond humans. Then again I only came to thank you. Sleep well Zenko." You rushed as you shuffled out of his room.

Working with Daki was so hectic.
