Kazama Chikage-Be With Me

"What are you doing stupid woman! Those eyes are that of the devils! Get away!"

This was the first in a while that someone had criticised my eyes, normally I was quite popular with clients for my eyes.
I had been at Shimabara for a while now while my brother was away.
Kyo Shiranui.
I was quickly incorporated into the staff by getting a job there, putting forwards some sob story about how my parents were killed along with my older brother, by some rouge ronin.

They bought it , along with my acting , they gave me a job for which I was thankful, well it's not like I was lying for all of it, there was some truth in there. I quickly became popular with clients perhaps it was because of my eyes...
One red, one gold.
They have been that way from as long as I can remember, I don't remember my parents, my brother took me away from them, he said they didn't love me at all, he said they hated me because of my eyes.
I believe him, he has been nothing but good to me in all the years he has raised me.
And his friends or work associates are surprisingly kind to me as well, Kazama is probably one of the ones I like most, he has always been kind to me even when I was small, he is way out of my league though I could only dream of being with him.

I was currently being shouted at due to my 'ignorance' and 'rude behaviour' apparently, I may be in a place like this but I won't let myself be put down that much! It is not how I was raised.

"Get out of here!" This client shouted in front of his friends, the other women in the room just looked down scared, not saying anything. I do...feel sorry for these women. I hope one day places like this do not exist.

"I can't wait for the day pigs like you give greater respect to women!" I spat back at him.
"What did you say!?!"
"You heard me sir!"

All the women instinctively apologised for my own behaviour afraid of getting into trouble themselves I expect but I never made a apology.
I simply gave the man one more glare before walking out of the room.
I shut the door and could hear continued shouting against me.
I breathed in the cool crisp night air, it was indeed slightly cold this evening I pulled my kimono further around myself and began to walk towards the main reception.

But I didn't get there, the man who had shouted at me grabbed me and pulled me into an empty room inside the building.

"What are you doing! Get off me!" I shouted and struggled against him.
"Your gonna get what's coming to you, you arrogant bitc*! We know who you really are!"
"What? Get off me! You pig!"
"Be quite!"
He shouted and sliced my cheek with a dagger.

I continued to struggle against him until a bright blue fire light blew him back away from me, I instinctively closed my eyes to protect myself.
I then opened my eyes to see someone I needed at that time.

"Chikage!"
"Hello y/n, are you alright?"
He looked at me and then down at the man, who was now unconscious on the ground
"Y-Yes...?"
".....Your a terrible liar y/n, much like your brother"
"Hm, you've always known me well I guess, tell me did you see that bright light?"
"No I did not"

In and instant he was in front of me touching my cheek, making me blush, which was bleeding down dripping blood onto my kimono.
"He cut your cheek rather deeply-"
"I-I know it's fine"

Truth is any kind of wound inflicted on me heals ever so quickly, if I were to ever tell anyone they would probably label me as a witch, that's why I always tended to keep it quite.

"Your hurt, let me help you-"
"I don't need your help!"
"Alright, are you going to serve me a drink then?"

I used my kimono sleeve to wipe away some of the blood from my face. I felt the heat as it began to heal.
