ONCE YOU HAD BEEN TAKEN INTO THE KYOGOKU HOUSE, BOTH YOURS AND INOSUKE'S EXCESSIVE MAKEUP HAD BEEN WIPED OFF.
the madam was both furious and delighted.
furious because your makeup had hidden your scar turned into demon slayer mark on your forehead.
but delighted because if you could get passed that, you were incredibly beautiful, and inosuke the same.
so, as mad she was about your scar, she could always cover it with makeup to bring out your beautiful face.
she had claimed even, that you were the second most beautiful girl behind the oiran of the house, inosuke right behind you in third place.
you were happy with the compliment (which you had received previously but not in such a way, as you were much younger and your face hadn't really matured), but also rather guilty. you and inosuke had just swept in and possibly stole the spotlight the other girls in the house had been working for for a long time.
the madam didn't help as she had bragged the rest of the day about the two beauties she had acquired.
aside from that, you and inosuke were signed timid little jobs such as bringing gifts to the oiran (who you noted, much like warabihime, was never there when you dropped them off), tidying and dusting.
however, due to your older and 'fit' age, you were also signed other jobs.
jobs that made you very uncomfortable.
the jobs never made you undress yourself or touch anyone, but instead you often had to dance for the males that would come in, often wearing kimonos a little more revealing than you would wear on your day-to-day. and that was enough to make you incredibly uncomfortable. feeling their prying eyes watching you, practically undressing you with every move.
you mourned the girls in the house, the ones passed the age of eighteen who were legally allowed to do jobs like that. they were probably doing this all the time.
you only had to do it every other day. in the off days you did the fickle little jobs.
inosuke had noticed your absences on the days and often questioned where you were, but you always fibbed, having to hide your horrible face when you did. after all, he was still a child. you weren't going to be the one to break the dirty truth behind the floral scented walls.
so, as uncomfortable as it made you, you settled. after all, it wouldn't be long before you and the others would commence in a battle with the oiran and whoever knows. as soon as you had a trace of the oiran, you would send a crow to gyutaro and ume and you would finally be out of this place.
