Brothels littered Japan's streets.

Every corner you turned towards, you'll be able to catch a glimpse of a few woman standing near the wooden staircase, inviting the men in with a charming smile and quite the tight grip on their wrists— pulling the men inside to drain their money.

And there was a very popular one that The Dragon often visited for a specific girl.

You.

For a man who was of the Yōtei six, he was quite easily to charm. But all men were dogs, and dogs are easily tamed and charmed with a small treat. So it wasn't a struggle.

You could only be booked— everyone knew that. You were reserved for the rich and for the men who would give their life for a glimpse at you.

Atsu booked you.

At the time, you didnt know her— you didnt know who Atsu was, though you were quite surprised a person with a feminine name booked you, women didn’t typically book. Unless it was the nobles servant, or something like that.

You sat at your vanity room, fixing your kimono as you lightly tugged it down to expose more of your back, adding a few more hair charms and pins to maintain its shape and form, picking up the expensive white powder as you were about to powder your face, until—

The door slid open, as you glanced to the side, your kamuros head lightly peaking out. ".. Miss? Someone is here, they said they booked you.."

Huh, they came early. They booked for midnight, it was still not so empty out on the streets. You nodded, smiling lightly as you watched the kamuro leave, sighing slightly.

'.. More work at midnight, how tiring. men really are horny dogs, aren't they.' You thought to yourself, exiting your vanity room as you went to the designated room, the door closed as you paused to take a deep breath, sliding the door open with a smile before you faltered.

... Her.

The onryō. And she didn't even look up. Merely sipped her sake.

... Well... this is new.
