The goon released one last cry before you broke his neck. As soon as his body hit the floor you let your arms block the guy who tried attacking you from your left. You saw a goon trying to slip into Hinatsuru, one of your boss' wives, dressing room. The guy you were blocking was shoved by you. You reached over wrapping your hand around the other goon's throat.
"Ah ah ah", you said shaking your head before shoving him back hard making him fall to the ground. Lifting your foot, you slammed your foot down hard on his balls making him cry out in pain. You sent a high kick at his face dislocating his jaw and knocking him out.
"Y/n where are you from", Hinatsuru asked from inside of her dressing room.
"I'm from here", you answered grabbing a goon into a headlock. "Japan", she asked. "Yep", you answered slitting the goon's throat with some scissors. The goon dug his nails into your arm as you took his life slowly from him. Once his grip went limp you released dropping to the floor like a ragdoll.
"My mother died a year after my birth", you explained breaking the scissors in half and tossing them aside. You held your arms up in a defensive position daring the remaining goons to charge at you. The goons remain in their spots waiting for one of them to muster up the courage to launch themselves at you.
It's been my dad and I since", you informed Hinatsuru. "Is he alive", she asked. "No no he's dead", you clarified punching the goon who got the courage to rush you sending him falling to the side. "Oh! I'm sorry how did he die", she asked.
"I can't leave a witness alive", the man dressed in formal attire told you, as he aimed the gun at the back of your head.
A rope was wrapped around your father's neck. The only thing keeping him alive right now was the short footstep under his stretched-out toes. You, at twelve years old, stood in front of his struggling, bonded body as the demon king aimed a gun at the back of your head. Once you heard the clicking of the gun being pulled back you kicked the footstand from under your father's feet.
A muffled cry escaped from your father as he started to choke. his body sailed around moving like a beheaded chicken. You turned around facing the demon king, not an ounce of emotion on your face. A darkness that was similar to the shade of his suit. His red eyes stared at the child in front of him, a rare look of shock decorated on his face.
"Now you're my witness", you informed him
You repeatedly slammed the goon's head into the wall until you saw it caved in slightly. Once his body stopped twisting you allowed his body to drop to the growl. Releasing heavy pants you find yourself up a bit. You refolded your collar, wiped the blood off your knuckles with a handkerchief, and wiped the blood off your face.
...He died of natural causes", you lied to her. You opened your phone and started to dial the "cleaning" people to retrieve the bodies you left behind.
"I'm sorry for your loss", she said. "...Are you done out there".
"Yes mama", you answered putting your phone into your back pocket.
The curtains were pulled aside as she stepped out. You forget Tengen's wives were known for their beauty. The medium-length, pastel purple dress hugs her figure outlining her full curves. The huge v-line showed off the two rising suns that were her chest. If it wasn't for the goon she held in her grasp you could've admired her like an artist in love with a muse.
The goon tried to release choked sounds and thrashed around for a bit before she cracked his neck with ease.
"I'm sorry, I missed one", you sighed, you never missed one before.
"That's quite alright, I was hoping one snuck in any way", she chuckled moving closer towards you. She reached out wiping a stray bloodstain off your cheek with the bottom of her thumbs. It took everything in you not to lean into her touch.
"You scare me sometimes Ms. Uzui", you smiled slightly.
"Hinatsuru no Ms", she said gently placing a finger under your chin making you lift your head more. "You scare me sometimes Hinatusur", you related wanting to test out her name. The corner of her red lips turned upward hearing the way it effortlessly rolled off your tongue.
"Good girl, now let's go", she smiled lopping her arm with yours. You striated up more when you felt her chest pressing against your arm. You wanted to assume it was accidental, but the flicker in her eyes, and the way her smile changed slightly as she titled her head at you made you think otherwise.
"I want to get you dolled up", she said. "I don't think it would approbate me to wear whatever you're thinking", you replied. "What do you think I'm making you wear", she asked.
"You know dresses and heels", you answered nodding your head at the clean-up crew as they spoke with the retail worker, probably bribing them to forget what happened in the backroom, good thing Tengen brought the whole mall out for a couple of hours.
"Oh don't worry it isn't that type of clothes", she reassured. "Oh okay good", you smiled at her.
