Forced Wedding

Changes

She opened her eyes and the light from the outside made her close them almost immediately, besides the logical reaction to the clarity her head started to hurt as if she was being hammered from the inside with something, she automatically took one of the blankets and covered herself completely to settle back on the pillow.

And then was when the memories assaulted her mind, that was NOT a pillow, and the headache was due to the huge amount of liquor ingested the night before and the events after being so drunk, she carefully tried to incorporate herself to check that what wasn't a pillow, was her husband's chest. With extremely slow movements she peeked out from between the blankets to find that Toshio was looking at her in a mocking way, obviously assuming the hangover she had.

She wanted to be swallowed up by the earth, but when she tried to hide in the covers again by moving so fast she originated uncontrollable nausea that made her run to the bathroom so she could vomit, omitting for a moment the fact that she was completely naked and that her head hadn't stopped hurting for a second.

That's why she didn't like to drink, beyond the fact that the amount of liquor she could tolerate was small, the hangover was always a total nightmare, but well, she had already done it and there was nothing she could do, she only had to assume the reality, she had had sex with her husband, as far as she remembered 2 times, and she didn't know now what to do. She slowly got up trying to avoid the appearance of new nauseas, she was sore and didn't know to what extent it was a result of the alcohol or as a result of the night she had had. 

In the mirror she could see some almost purple marks on her body where she remembered that Toshio had held her tightly. She took one of the gowns that were in the place to cover herself, after that she rinsed her mouth, exhaled heavily the air and with a determined step she left the bathroom because sooner or later she was going to have to face the situation.

Kindly her husband offered her a glass with a strange looking drink, telling her that it was to help her overcome her hangover and without further ado he got up and asked her to hurry up because they were starting to be late for breakfast. The truth was that she was left waiting to face the situation because he didn't speak to her that day, or well he did while they were having breakfast to literally order her to eat something of what she had been served, ignoring that although she no longer had a headache, nausea was her faithful companion throughout the morning.

And so their marital situation had changed slightly, her husband still the same as ever addressing her mostly when they were in public or after intercourse, and her pretending they were a completely happy marriage, the difference being that they had been a sexually active marriage for 2 months. Wow, 4 months of marriage and every day she always wanted to hang from a tree or do something to not have to be in that routine. Is that she could even say that even sex was a routine, because only the first time she could assure that she had really enjoyed it, and that was because she had taken control of the situation in a moment to reach her climax and thus completely away from reality. But beyond saying that she had no chemistry with Toshio, it was the fact that he sought only his own pleasure without being interested in hers.

Afternoon tea with the other ladies with important husbands used to be quite boring because unlike her, they were a bunch of women bred for that role, until one day when the sky seemed to break because of the amount of rain that fell, causing some damage, so one of them proposed that they do good deeds in the village to help with the repairs.

It was a quick conversation with her husband who told her that permission was required from the feudal, but finally they were allowed to start doing activities to help some of the needy. That was how she also learned that the academy was without a weapons teacher, and the position was vacant. She had to thank the heavens that because of her position, and to some calls of attention from Toshio, she had learned to be reserved and that she had to consult everything first with him. Because she was about to offer to take the position, even without payment, just for the fact of being able to have a kunai in her hands again and to be able to train again. That same night, after having sex, she dared to ask him.
