☾ When I woke up, I was alone again. I dragged my body up, feeling drowsier than ever, Choso can even suck even the energy from you while you slept.
"Selah."
The madam came in, her face looked me over a bit worried as I felt too weak to stand,
"What...did you and master Kamo-"
"It's not like that Madame, please don't start."
I finally got to my feet, stretching my arms up, yawning.
"You're pale."
She crossed her arms, looking me over, her eyes fixed on my neck, though there was nothing there.
"I am a little ill okay? I'm still attending class though, it has been weeks."
I lied, though it was believable.
"No you will not. If you feel ill, do not go spreading the germs to your classmates."
She had a point.
It wasn't that kind of illness though..
"Madame please."
"No. Get back to bed, I will inform the masters."
"Madame-"
When I tried to walk to her, the leg Choso had drank from shot such a great pain through me.

I cried out, falling to the ground before her, tears burning my eyes as I looked down at the floor, my face hot.
This was embarrassing, it was frustrating, would the madame be mad if I just said what happened between Choso and I? Could I go to class then?
I just want to get back to normal, but Im just getting too comfortable with the master's...
Im doing things other shrine maidens would be thrown out for...
"Choso and I..."
I started.
"Did he taste your blood Selah?"
She lowered her voice to ensure no one could hear but us.
I nod.
"Where?"
She knelt in front of me, I just undid my yukata and took it off completely, she just looked at the bite on my inner right thigh...the huge bruise around it.
"Selah..."
She started, but then shut her mouth, shaking her head.
"You are not normal."
"What is wrong madame?"
The bite burned, I bit down on my bottom lip as I looked down at it, my fingers pressing down on the unbruised skin below it.

"A bite should not be like that."
"Do you think Choso did something else..?"
She shrugged, standing.
"Dress quickly. We need to talk to the other master's about this."
We cant...
"No."
"Yes Selah. This is unnatural. You don't want to lose a leg do you?"
I shiver at the thought.
Choso would never poison me though-
Not on purpose at least.
The way he looks at me, the way be speaks to me, the way he handles me.
Choso is practically in love with me.
He would never.
"Geto will kill him...He will hurt Choso over this..."
"So be it. Let us make haste. Dress."
"No."
I just sat there, naked, glaring up at her, stubborn as a mule.
"Fine, I will bring the masters to you then."
She turned and headed to my door,
"No. Stop."
I demanded, and she did, her eyes widened,
"Selah-"
"It works on you too?"
I was just as surprised.
"Selah you are being childish right now."
"I am not. I am protecting him."
"He is a vampire Selah. Get over yourself!"
She had no longer kept quiet, raising her voice at me, face reddened with anger.

Vampires could still be hurt and killed.
They just don't die of natural causes.
Geto was strong, he had a dominance over everyone, other than Sukuna.
And yet Sukuna falls silent at his demand as well?
"He will kill him...Geto will kill Choso Madame, I cant let that happen."
"Then tell him not to. He will listen. They all bend to your will. Say the words and it is yours Selah. Do not forget your role."
My role...
"Bring them to me. I cannot walk."
I dismiss the madame, taking a white silk sheet and pulling it around my naked body.
It didn't matter how they saw me anymore.
It probably never mattered if I think about it.
I look around the room, my heart raced in my chest, my eyes then looked down at where Choso had bit my inner thigh.
It was hot, my body shook as my fingers grazed it.
"This will be okay..."
The door slid open and Choso was the first to rush in, he fell in front of me and hugged my body into him, the others crowding into the room, the Madame closing us all into the small space of my room.
"Show me."
Choso pulled the sheet from my body, his eyes widened at his mark.
