Call before the storm

  ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

Darkness enveloped you as you walked through a dark tunnel in dreamscape.

Your white hair being the only source of light to be found or seen for miles.

These days after the wedding you found that you didn't dream you just had these strange nightmare like encounters in your sleep.

The last was horrific , a pregnant woman was gutted by a wild beast, her child wrapped from her tummy and devoured like meat. Blood stained any clean surface, flesh thrown here and there. The monster didn't have the decency to be alive , much less .  .  .  . whatever it was.

That night shed awoken the entire Kitbutsuji house with your screams of terror.

Now as you slipped into a state of mind. You instantly turned to face your sleeping husband, who's chest rose and feel unsteadily. This sort of thing alarmed you at the beginning of your marriage, but now , a year later there was a sort of normalcy to the situation.

You would never become accustomed to it , but it become accustomed to you.

When you slept together you never cuddled unless he wanted to, he was the in constant pain, and you never wished for him to endure more. You were careful and thus far he liked initiating things. It gave him the control that he needed to keep his confidence.

Today's as the sun began to rise ,you wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and leaned down to press a soft kiss to his head.

You turned away from him with a smile and giggled giddily.

Muzan had already turned twenty.

And you planned to make the most of your moments together.

You rose from your spot beside him and briskly walked towards the door, sliding it open and closing it behind you gently.

It was like stepping into a different world as you walked through the manor and laughed with the maids as you helped prepare breakfast for the Lord's.

Muzan's sisters had married earlier on the year.

One married an Uyabushiki. And the other a Rengoku.

This meant that the Kitbutsuji name would die with Muzan unless you bore him children.

Your mood slowly turned sour as you realized that that would never happen.

You often wondered what would become of yourself after his death.

Nothing. That was for sure.

You'd go mad with grief and throw yourself from the nearest cliff, such was the extent of your love for him that it transcended earth and space.

One thought was for sure. You would be with him.

As you readied his bath you added lavender and peach essence to clear his mind and alleviate his pain.

As you returned to your room you realized that he was already sitting up and his face was already fixed in his usual stern intimidating expression.

You gifted him with an amused smile as you strode towards him leisurely. "Good morning, my love."

Muzan regarded you with cold eyes and small smile.

You sat beside him and reached for his hand. "I've already drawn you a bathe, it's hot. You should take it now."

Still all he did was stare at you , but this time an underlying vulnerability stood stark in those pretty ocean eyes.

You cupped his face with your other hand. "Do you wish to bath together?"

Muzan grumbled something incoherent to you and you smirked coyly.

Oh how stubborn he was.

"I'll take that as a yes."

You watched as his bare frame sank into the basson and you picked up the container of warm water and slowly poured it over his body. He shivered at the temperature and slumped back, his head resting against the edge.

"Have the maids bring me an accounting of todays activities. The gardens , the kitchens , the rooms──"

"They already have. All will be fine. There were papers to sign on the last doctors appointment. But doctor Koshina will be here tomorrow again."

Muzan's eyes slowly drifted towards yours. "My love , why most you always do my job for me." His voice as soft but he was irritated. And you was quick to answer.  "Because in the absence of my husband I am the Lady of the manor. It is my duty to attend to it when you cannot. Plus you were asleep."

Blue eyes rolled as your husband sighed and lifted a weak hand out of the water, slowly ran it through his hair as you poured water on him again.

"Are you trying to drown me?" He inquired sharply.

And you almost giggled at his cute angry face.

"Sorry my love, I was distracted."

By your beauty.

Were the unsaid words.

Muzan was no fool, his wit as sharp as his tongue.

"Yes, I find myself very distracting at times." He jested wiggling his brows.

You burst into laughter gently swatting his shoulder. "Ugh. You always tease me!"

Muzan smiled his rare pretty smile. "And you always fall for it."

A knock on the door stopped your laughter and you stood smoothening your clothes and walking to the door. Muzan turning in the basson to watch you.

"Sorry to intrude, my lady. But doctor Koshina is here."

"Yes. Escort him to the garden and offer him some refreshments. Tell him that the master and his lady with be with him soon." You instruction.

The maid nodded. "Another thing , my lady, your mother has written to you." She said handing you a small sealed letter.

You smile in gratitude, gently taking the letter,"Thank you my dear. You may go."

You slid the door closed as she left and turned back to face your husband, who's blue eyes were already trained on you expectantly.

You flashed him a sweet smile as you walked towards the basson ,you tore your family's seal off and unwrapped the letter. You quickly sank to Muzan's level so that you could both read the letter.

As your eyes skimmed through the words on the paper and your mouth face contorted in horror.

Your body began to shake as the information slowly settled into your brain. "It can't be."

All Muzan could do was reach a wet shaking hand out of the tub to grasp yours and squeeze reassuringly.

Your cousin had been fataly wounded.

Yours in demon blood,

Astercy.
