The King's Queen

Chapter 14

The silence of the room was deafening as Jin soon gave up with lifting it and left the young man and yourself. Looking at the man in front you, you couldn't help but feel as if he was analysing your entire form. It felt rather uncomfortable being looked at as if you were an outcast, though you did run away from home and an engagement but many girls run away in those cases_____ well they run away to their lovers. With a huff you too began to observe the man as he was doing to you, first thing you noticed was his long eyelashes that almost put yours to shame and how they framed his violet eyes that held a sense of caution and curiosity in them. Next was his perfectly neat white hair with a strip of pink at the back of his head. He had a sharp nose and porcelain pale skin that looked like it has never had a single scratch let alone a simple pimple on it. The more you looked at him, the more self conscious you became about yourself.

Skin riddled with scars both as big as lashings and as small as burns from oil, both your back and stomach were laced with them. The course feeling of your hands from hard labour everyday, nothing like any proper lady whose hands are as soft as the expensive silks they wear. Then there was your unruly hair which never yielded to your commands as it was always messy. At the end of the day you were a simple girl raised as a servant along with your sisters, etiquette was not your forte anyway since you never saw the purpose of it.

"Um do you know where I can find the bathroom in this place?" With a rise from his zabuton Uraume curtly walked out not before telling you to follow behind him. Sighing out you obliged even though he was still a stranger and his presence was very overwhelming and cold. After sometime walking around the endless halls which made you think that this place was more of a maze than a whore house. Stopping at another one of the endless shoji that you had passed previously, he opened it abruptly since you were behind him you noticed the steam rolling out of the room. As he moved to the side you were met with the sight of a simple bath house. "Bathe yourself in here, there are some spare kimonos in one of the wardrobes. Change into them and come back to the room." With that sentence he left you in the room and left the area immediately. You felt somewhat happy with the turn of events though very unexpected it was very welcomed.

Stripping off your clothes you slowly sinked into the warm herbal water, enjoying the soothing feeling that washed down on you. The scent and warmth of the water made you relax as it made you feel at ease with everything that has happened in the last weeks in your life. Deciding to just relax for a while you dived deeper into the waters with half your face submerged in the water with your nose being just above water to allow you to breath. The top of your knees were the only other thing that was outside of the murky green water, for fun you began to blow a bunch of bubbles underwater consequently some water entered into your nose making you sneeze and cry as it hurt and it took sometime to stop the lingering sensation. Finally you decided to get rid of the accumulated amount of dirt on your body, turning around you grabbed a wooden bucket behind you to use it to wash you hair first.

As you poured some water on your head and ran your hand though your hair removing the knots and dirt in it. Your hair and the water created a veil covering your view of anything, the shoji behind you slid open and heavy footsteps entered before halting. When you had turned to grab the bucket you never resumed your prior position thus you had no way of knowing who was behind you, still washing your hair enjoying the feeling of freshness that came with it you choose to ignore the presence of the other person. You listened in to hear the footsteps resumed before stopping and then the dropping of clothes indicating that the person removed their clothes and soon the water rippled indicating they had entered into the warm water. 'Must be one of the women in this house.' You assumed as you stretched your body to grab a wash rag after finishing with your hair.

"Well Ningen, I never thought of you as a tease~" with that sentence your body went ridged as you realised by the bertone voice that it was Sukuna who was behind you. Abruptly without thinking you turned around to look at the smug face of the naked pink haired man, who had already relaxed into the waters looking at you lustfully. Looking behind him you noticed his once pristine white and black kimono laying hazardously behind him covered in blood, which matched the red splotches that graced his skin and hair matching the colour of his eyes. "So you decided to give me a full show, huh?" Those same aforementioned eyes were now looking at your breasts without a hint of shame as he licked his lips. Realising you hadn't covered your chest, with a yelp you covered your chest with your hands to try regain a semblance of dignity, you looked down trying to hide your feverish blush as you heard a loud laugh erupting from Sukuna. "Too late now sweetheart, I have already seen it. Though I wouldn't mind if you fully stood up to show me the full view." He stated as he smirked after you dive into the bath water trying to hide your body and blush. "W-what are you doing here!?!?" You shouted as you belittled yourself for accidentally showing your body to the despicable man, especially since you weren't married to him. Fortunately the water was doing a great job at hiding your body, though that still didn't calm your erratic heart. "Well as much as I love seeing the blood of my enemies, I hate the feeling it has when it dries." He smirked some more, before continuing, "So I decided to wash it off and look at what I find, my sweet little Ningen washing herself as well and I couldn't help myself." He finished as he looked into your doe e/c eyes. Those innocent looking eyes were something he wanted to break along with the rest of you, to see them shatter into millions of pieces as tears come out of them, to ruin such innocence will give him so much pleasure.
