My Little Lily (Gyutaro x reader)

Chapter Four

Once everything calmed down, Master Kagaya was able to further explain the mission.
There would be three phases:

First- I would go in to investigate which household is likely to have a demon. Hopefully with being half demon, this one won't bother me as much.

Second- Suma, Makio and Hinatsuru will go in undercover to the three houses I've narrowed it down too. They will further investigate on the inside and keep Uzui in the loop of what is going on.

Third- Uzui comes in once we discover the demon's location and finish it.

"Now hopefully everything will go smoothly and we all go home" I am excited for my first mission, but I'm terrified. I was already heading towards the Entertainment District.

For once I was hoping Uzui would be accompanying me on my mission or even one of his wives! But I understand why I need to go alone. I need to appear as a demon passing by and hopefully it'll drag whoever is behind these ashinuke disappearances out. If they really are caused by a demon.

I look up at the night sky "Master Kagaya said I need to make my enemy believe I am their friend and get as much information as possible." I sigh loudly as I drop my head "but if I cause too much suspicion, I'll likely get killed."

I look back up, noticing the night sky is awfully bright for this time. "Wait a minute...." I immediately start jogging up the hill only to look down at the brightly lit city.

"Wow!!" I couldn't help but stare down at the city in awe. It was full of life and quite busy. "As pretty as this place is....it's too busy for my liking.....where am I supposed to even start looking"

A voice, scratchy and eerie, sent shivers down my spine. "And what exactly...would you be looking for"

The voice itself made my blood run cold. And the smell...'definitely a demon...' I take in a deep breath before turning around and facing the creature that now terrifies my entire existence. My hands raised defensively with a smile that's hopefully convincing, eyes closed.

"O-oh sorry! I didn't mean to speak out loud! Nor did I realize someone was with me." Whispering out the last bit, I open my eyes and stare at the demon in front of me.

Though his voice chilled me to the bone, his appearance wasn't what I was expecting. Skin paled, almost a hint of yellow. Skinny, yet muscular? 'I could wrap my arms around his waist twice...does he eat enough?' His shaggy hair starts off black at the roots and ombré to green halfway. Strange marks spotted throughout his body. 'Maybe birth marks?'

I noticed he started scratching himself, as if nervous. "I know I'm not the greatest looking guy but you don't have to keep staring" even though he sounded annoyed, I caught on the hint of hurt.

I started shaking my head nervously "I'm sorry!" I bowed quickly "I didn't mean to offend you!" I sat up quickly, not realizing he was standing in front of me now. Smacking my head into his jaw causing us both to fumble back. Me holding my head in pain while he rubs his jaw.

I was now panicking, I can tell he's strong. He could easily take me out and here I was making a fool of myself and not being careful. I'm going to die here.

I heard a quiet 'tch' and looked at him. He continued scratching himself, as if deep in thought. "Unless you want to die, you need to leave." My heart jumped to my throat. "This is our territory"

Wait a minute..."Our?" Dammit! My curiosity just got the best of me.

He was annoyed with my question.

"That's none of your business" He was pissed. I allowed my curiosity to go too far. 'I need to fix this!'
