The morning light filtered through the paper windows, casting a warm glow over the room. The air was thick with the lingering scent of last night’s activities, and the soft sound of steady breathing filled the space.
I shifted slightly, glancing down at Mitsuri, who lay curled up beside , her pink and green hair spread across the pillow like a cascade of silk. Her face was peaceful, a small smile resting on her lips even in sleep.
It seed she wouldn’t be waking up anyti soon. Given how intense last night was, I wasn’t surprised.
Just as I was about to close my eyes again, a familiar voice echoed in my mind.
"There is soone waiting outside, dear. Get dressed and et her; otherwise, she’s going to be angry with you."
I sighed, rubbing my forehead. "Who is it, Death?"
"That’s a surprise," she said, a teasing lilt in her voice.
I sat up, careful not to disturb Mitsuri as I swung my legs over the side of the futon. My body had recovered instantly thanks to my abilities, but the sa couldn’t be said for Mitsuri. Smiling slightly, I pulled the blanket up to her shoulders before standing and stretching. Whoever was waiting for had better have a good reason for showing up this early.
As I dressed, my thoughts wandered. There weren’t many people who would seek out so persistently that even Death would take the ti to notify . It had to be soone important.
Once I was fully clothed, I stepped outside, the morning air cool against my skin. The sun had barely begun to rise, and the mansion grounds were quiet.
Waiting near the entrance was a familiar figure. Long black hair, streaked with violet, cascaded down her back, and a teasing yet sowhat irritated smile played on her lips.
Akeno.
She turned as I approached, her deep violet eyes locking onto mine, her arms crossed beneath her ample chest.
"You finally decided to show up," she said, her voice smooth yet carrying an unmistakable edge.
I smirked. "I wasn’t expecting you, Akeno. What brings you here?"
She let out a soft sigh, tilting her head slightly. "I missed you."
I raised an eyebrow. "Missed enough to track down in another world?"
She stepped closer, her scent—a mix of lightning and sweet lavender—filling the air between us. "Of course. Did you think I would just sit back and wait for you to return when I had the ans to find you myself?"
I chuckled. "I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised."
Akeno’s gaze flickered toward the mansion behind , and her smile turned knowing. "I arrived around midnight, but since you were... preoccupied, I decided not to disturb you."
I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And you didn’t barge in? That’s not like you."
She chuckled, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "As much as I would have loved to interrupt, I figured I’d let you enjoy your ti. Instead, I spent the night talking with Shinobu."
That caught my attention. "Shinobu?"
Akeno nodded, her teasing deanor fading slightly. "She’s an interesting woman, sharp-tongued but kind. We talked a lot... mostly about you."
I tilted my head. "About ? Should I be worried?"
Akeno shook her head. "No. But after speaking with her, I realized sothing important." She stepped closer, her voice turning serious. "You need to make her fall for you quickly."
I blinked at the sudden shift in conversation. "Co again?"
Akeno sighed, her expression softening. "Shinobu reminds of my past self."
That made pause. Akeno rarely spoke about her past—at least, not in this way.
She continued, her eyes distant. "She wears a smile, but it’s not real. It’s a mask. I know because I used to do the sa thing. She hides her pain, her hatred, her grief behind that gentle expression. She acts as if everything is fine, but deep down, she’s drowning in her own self-loathing."
Akeno placed a hand on my chest, looking up at with quiet determination. "If you don’t reach her soon, that hatred will consu her. Just like it almost consud ."
"Oh, I know that, I am working on it." I said with a smile.
"That put my mind at peace." Then she ca close to and suddenly showered with kisses. "I really did miss you, you know."
I placed a hand on her cheek, my thumb brushing against her soft skin. "I know. And I appreciate you coming all this way."
Her eyes searched mine before she leaned in slightly, her lips a breath away from mine. "Are you going to make it up to ?"
I smirked. "Wouldn’t dream of doing anything else."
Akeno chuckled, but before she could respond, a voice called out from inside the mansion.
"Alex-sama, breakfast is ready!"
It was Yuki.
Akeno sighed, stepping back slightly. "It seems we’ll have to continue this later."
I grinned. "Oh, I fully intend to."
