The young blonde lady runs up to , grasping my hands. Thank you! You have no idea how much this ans to ! My friends are- my friends are finally okay. Tears stream down past her lips, to the ground, as she keeps shaking my hands up and down. Her eyes have never left mine, since grabbing my hands.
I can feel my face turn to fire, as her face is extrely close to mine now. Ohh, oh.
After a mont or two of being like this, with freezing up, she seems to realize how close shes gotten. With this, she then shyly backs off a little. I can see many of the won with sly smirks on their faces. One woman in the back has her hand on her cheek, with an excited look. Over the growing hum of sound I can hear an Oh my, oh my.
oh no.
Honestly, Im still not used to having this much attention on . Especially, by a troop of beautiful won. Thats not even including the attractive woman that was holding my hands and was like two inches from my faces.
Gulp.
Prostitutes are dangerous for .
Actually, scratch that. Won are dangerous.
Behind her, the boss lady has reassud her collected and thoughtful presence. Moving a few steps forward, she bows toward . Almost imdiately after, all the other won follow. It looks like a pulse, as their heads dip down in near unison.
Her voice huskily shakes a little, with what sounds like emotion, but is also loud and clear.
Thank you Senior, for your work in healing these three won. We are eternally grateful of what you have done here today. We have been desperately searching for a thod to heal or even treat this illness for a while now.
She stays silent for a period of ti. I use this ti of silence, to state my action.
Well. Im glad that I was able to be of so help to you all. However, I do have so things to attend to, so I must be going. At my words, there are a bit of muttering and shuffling about, seemingly in panic.
Even the boss lady, appears a bit uncomfortable with this news. While still leaning forward, she looks up at with a strangely enticing, yet concerned face.
Surely, we couldnt let our benefactor go without treating them with the greatest honors? Are you sure youd like to leave? We could definitely make your stay with us much more comfortable.
At these words, she presses her arms together. Her clothes seemingly open up revealing a valley of great proportions. My eyes then drift to her soft, thick lips. The others, who are also bowed, seemingly shift into slightly provocative bows, as well.
I can feel myself unconsciously gulp and shiver go down my back.
Okay. Prostitutes are especially dangerous for .
If I rember, declining hospitality is a major no-no in this culture, but I cant let myself get taken away. Im not sure Id ever be able co back, otherwise. Regardless, if theyd let .
Desperately averting my eyes, I focus on the sky. No, I am greatly appreciative of the offer and a-a-apologize for not being able to stay. I really have so urgent things to complete.
The area is so silent, that I could hear a pin drop.
I quickly bow to them and begin heading toward an alleyway in the direction of Gongs place. All the while, I keep my eyes on the ground and away from any of the won. The won begin reluctantly opening a pathway for , as I move forward slowly. I can see in the corner of my eye, them still trying to get to catch a glance.
The little that I can see, shows so of them biting their lips. Whether its from seduction or frustration, I cant tell.
Just as I get through the middle of the group of won, a small voice rings out, near the center of the circled area.
S-should we stop him? We cant let him go, right?
There is a gasp of disbelief at these words and a tense mont pierces the silence.
At these words, I can feel my back muscles tense up. Ready for a fight.
Contrary to my expectations, the boss lady imdiately grabs a pale, black haired young lady from the crowd, in what appears to be a flash of sound and light, bringing her before . The bosss hand is forcefully pushing the young ladys face to the ground.
How dare you insinuate that we forcefully keep our benefactor here! The one who we owe much to! Her teeth gritted; she pulls out a sword from sowhere. I feel my eyes sharpening, as in what feels like slow motion, her sword drops towards the young womans neck. I yell out.
NO!
Her sword stops inches away from the young girls neck. You wish to spare this young lady?
My blood pressure and adrenaline are rushing, as I try to interpret what is going on and how to handle it. I remain silent as I think this through.
Okay okay that woman almost died in front of . What do I do? Seriously, what do I do?
Alright. Im going just request that they forget that this incident ever happened and get out of here.
Okay. Yes. Please spare this young woman. Her lips tighten, as she looks deeply into mine with a sternness.
As you wish. Once again, I apologize for keeping you. Keeping her hand on the neck the woman. It is definitely loosened now.
I slightly bow my head to her and move back along the path. I get back to the halfway point, before I stop again.
Sothing still doesnt feel right about this.
Fuck.
I need to know.
Turning back around, pinching the bridge of my nose, I head back to the pair. Theyve not moved from that spot, since I had walked away.
I apologize for getting into your groups business but what exactly will happen to this young lady, after I leave?
The boss ladys eyes squint at . Since she is being spared, according to the severity of her actions, she will have her tongue cut out and will be exiled from the group. With her and all that she owns being stripped from her. Shunned by all in our group.
Ah.
Right.
This is a gang. Its a different culture. Its easy to forget that, but at the end of the day, they treat these things much more severely than at ho. Shes also a pretty girl it scares to think what would happen to her without any support, as a previous prostitute.
The re fact that they needed a prostitute protection gang, gives an idea about what happens to those who dont have one.
I take a deep shuddering breath at her words and my thoughts.
Okay Do you mind if I ask a favor? Her head tilts at my words.
Perhaps. What do you wish for?
Forgive if I overstep my position, but would you mind completely sparing her of any punishnt? Both physical, social, and other aspects?
Once again, the entire group goes silent.
At this, I can see her glance behind . Staring at soone.
Before I can look to see who she was looking at, she nods in affirmation. Releasing her hand from the girls neck, she whispers in the girls ear. The girl freezes up, but then runs over to the front of one of the lines. A closer look reveals her to be sowhat young, maybe 19 or 20.
The boss lady looks at , appearing to have a puzzled, but sowhat grateful face on.
Forgive for saying this, but you are quite different than others.
I give a sigh at this situation.
I really have to rember that this is another world. One that doesnt value individuals lives as much.
This makes fear for if I make a mistake in the sect
No offense taken. I believe occasionally, mistakes are made and that soones life shouldnt be destroyed due to a slip of a tongue, is all.
I go quiet at that, with no one else responding.
I stand up silently and begin heading back toward Gongs area. The boss lady suddenly bows and everyone bows as well, seeing out.
This ti I head out completely and get so distance away. The scan reveals that they havent moved.
So what happens now? It sounds like that illness wasnt just a one-ti thing. It seed serious enough that they treated like so sort of senior because of it.
I have to go, back dont I? I cant just leave them with this.
I can feel a headache coming on.
Turning back around, I begin heading back to the group.
