LOVE ME I SAY LOVE ME

1.1

A young Kiyoomi was laying on his mother's lap feeling her soft touches on his head made him smile a little bit. It was spring, the stone garden had flowers blooming, and the koi fish in the small lake they had swimming in a circle.

"Kiyo."

"Yes, mama?"

"Promise me something kiyo."

"What is it?"

"When you have a baby, make sure to kill me."

Kiyoomi looked into his mother's eyes not showing a single emotion to what his mother just told him. He nodded slowly, listening to his mother's lullaby she sang to him while she braids kiyoomi's long curly hair.

"Mama..."

"What is it kiyo?"

"What if my lover can't have a baby...will I still be able to carry our family name?"

"...That's alright kiyo, your lucky you have two older sisters!"

She smiled and tickled kiyo making him laugh. Kiyoomi looked at the sliding door seeing two girls sitting there with the same hairstyle, kimono, shoes, and make-up.

"Hello, Coco, Lilly, is there anything you?"

"We have a customer complain mother."

"Oh- why is that? Did he not like the outfits I thought they were cute."

"Coco attacked him after he tried to hit me, mother."

"I see. Send him in."

The two girls nodded and stood up letting a man with black hair and a messy robe almost fall off his body. Kiyo looked up to see his mother tilt her head to the side and her soft sweet smile disappear.

"I see you don't like the work my girls gave you. Why is that?"

"I'll rather talk to someone who is in charge!"

"I see. Lord Kiyoomi the guest wants to talk to you."

The man smiled sitting down on one of the pillows that sat in front of the woman. Sakusa looked at his mother whose eyes sharpen. He rolled his eyes and sat up on her lap looking down on the man.

"The guest wants a word with you young lord."

"..."

"A child! I bet he isn't even 10! How can a child be in charge in this mansion!"

"I am the young lord! Watch your words, you pathetic man!"

The man looked at sakusa noticing his fencing suit and his sword right next to him.

"You've broken at least 3 rules in the Sakusa house! You dare hit one of my employees! Talk such horrible things about the lord and the highest Oiran!? And you dare pay me in COINS!? How pathetic."

Kiyoomi looked down on the man looking disgusted.

"You hitting one of my employees is a $57 fin, you paying in coins is another $23 fin, and you talking poorly about me and my highest Oiran is $70 fin for each."

Sakusa smiled talking about money the fins he has to pay up for breaking all of the rules.

"And you smell bad, like an alcoholic!"

Kiyoomi covers his nose from the smell.

"You having alcohol on you while having a performer with you is a $25 fin, I hoped you read the rules before buying two performers Mr. Young..."

"Young master."

Kiyoomi looked at the door seeing two old elders bowing to him.

"We have another customer, or...a seller."
