Food for thought

"You three have been accused of several crimes." A guard shouts at the tied up men about to strike them to show authority, however just from the lift of the lord's hand caused the guard to immediately cease his action.

The three men put on trail kneeled before the lord as he spoke

"We shall determine your verdicts." The lord's voice boomed as he sat infront of the shrine facing the criminals. This courtyard was large and the shrine itself was grand, practically a mansion, adorned with beautiful star designs with shrine maidens at either side.

Behind the shut doors and curtain of the main building's entrance a slight shine of red could be seen. If listened to closely the words 'Blood Demon art' could be heard.

The tassels on the shrine shook with each shrine maiden's movement of their baton. A hand reached out of the curtain and brushed it aside slightly.

"The middle one. He is deserving of death." The voice spoke, disgust filled in its voice.
"His children lay starving within their household as he gambled away the money he had. No mother to take care of them as she was killed by him".

Once those words were done, as if on cue the man was cut down and his blood stained the floor. A group of shrine maidens quickly caught the body before it fell and swaddled it in cloth before carrying it away.

The bodies of the two other men that were tied shook intensely as they bowed their heads and lowered their gaze. Not daring to make eye contact with the thing, the person behind the curtain.

"You two!" The Lord said, his voice softer. "You shall still be punished. However death nor mutilation is what you deserve. I already know of your crimes of thievery are not deserving of execution. You both shall be put in prison and rehabilitate"

The two men's eyes widen in shock, they tried looking up at the man but lowered their heads once again as they noticed that the glowing E/C eye between the curtain hadn't stopped looking at them.

""THANK YOU MY LORD. THANKY YOU MY LADY FOR YOUR KINDNESS"" They shouted simultaneously, fully bowing their heads and soon they were soon escorted to their prison cells.

The figure closed the curtain and retreated inside.

"Lady Y/N" the voice of the Lord spoke from outside the curtain. "As your food is being prepared, I would like to know-"

"The future concerning the harvest along with investments. I know of course, that is the arrangement." You said without even missing a beat, though your voice expressed sadness.

The thing inside the shrine happened to be yourself. It has been some time since your temple had been built as a base of operations for yourself.

"I shall give you a document later. I wish to be alone." And with a solemn voice, you shut the curtain and closed your doors. Retreating into the pitch black space, empty but luring like a black hole.

You let yourself bathe in the shadow, the darkness comforting like the kokatsu you used to hide under to avoid your brothers.

Your mind wandered onto several things but mainly thinking about the life you left behind. The people who you left and those who you'll never see again.

You fiddled with a gift you were given by Yoriichi on your birthday.

~~~
"Happy Birthday Y/N" Yoriichi exclaimed, his voice actually showing an audible change in tone as he carried you and spun you around.

Your sound of laughter resounded at this action.

"Thank you thank you!" You replied as he placed you on your feet, his voice going back to usual.
