The King's Queen

Chapter 29

After a tremulous journey back to their home, the group had welcomed the cold with open arms despite the hardships it would entail for others. Nothing was better for a traveller than being able to come back to familiar surroundings after a hectic journey.

The group had split once more as Uraume, Jin and the older Nakamura decided to leave for their territory___ though the former wished to accompany the others, he knew he had responsibilities to go back to especially after such a lengthy absence____ and let the rest go back to your home village in the south.

Sukuna, Mitsuki, Takehito and yourself had ventured on to go there, Mitsuki had thought she would go alone but after you explained your worry about her getting abducted by the Kamo clan again she relented to your whims.

Now what she didn't get was why the other two had tagged along with the two sisters. When asked Takehito dismissively said he had someone he wished to meet and they would be going in the same direction, at least the boyish man decided to answer her querying, the gaint pinket just glared at her with his unrelenting eyes.

Most she got from the man was a scoff or a shrug of disregard.

It was a shock when she learned that not only could he actually talk but he seemed to speak animatedly with you and Takehito. Sukuna had multiple personalities when dealing with certain people from what she noticed when they were at sea.

With you, he was flirtatious and teasing was his main language with you. Anytime you were in the area, whether outside or inside doing something, his muscular hands would find their way to your body. Much to her over protectiveness' dismay, you seemed to welcome the very inappropriate and misleading___ at least in her biased opinion____ behaviour as you find yourself leaning further into his touch and greeting his lecherous smirk with an innocent smile.

That is until Takehito purposely reacts loudly to the interaction, only of course when Toshihiro-ji was coincidentally in the area.

With Jin it was more of acknowledgment of his presence and it was likewise from the feminine man____ someone she actually spent a great deal of time with since he seemed to be the only one who was normal and not awkward in the broad sense of the word, and the fact you usually hung out with him made him more approachable.

Takehito, it was jeering comradely as they often sent jabs of insults in a friendly attempt to start a fight, which never escalated far enough to be a problem.

Both Uraume and her uncle____ who she just felt too awkward to interact with for an extended amount of time____ had his respect and she would usually find them engaged in serious and secretive conversations. Their faces usually portraying cold indifference but their body language stiff if the conversation bordered extremely sensitive topics which were expertly hidden in their wording.

Mitsuki had always been observant about body language and etiquette. As the oldest of her family, she had to be the most refined and most diligent as she was to be the first wed off in the family. So social ques had never been hard for her, if anything it's her area of expertise.

To be the perfect wife that supported her husband by keeping up appearances and their household.

While the others managed to hold a conversation with the enigmatic man, he had barely uttered a word to the young woman. Often she was treated as if she didn't exist in his eyes which frustrated the h/c woman since she would be burdened with the weight of tense silence everytime she found herself alone in his presence.

Like a God looking down at an insect, scrutinising her very being with such invasive eyes for even the smallest of mistakes like even walking side by side with him. Mitsuki had learned immediately that Sukuna didn't like it when people who he thought were beneath him, purposely or accidentally, walked in front of him and beside him.
