"I'm a mint plant." A voice echoed in your head. "I like you. You're silly."
You recoiled your hand and brought it to your breast.
"What?" You breathed.
"You didn't know plants could talk?" A feminine voice giggled. "We all have the ability. Some plants forget how, others simply refuse to talk demons, but most of us talk to those who are kind to us and will listen. You'd be surprised how many demon refuse to believe we can talk."
"Why did you decide to talk to me?" You asked.
"Because you sang to us." The voice replied. "Plus water demons make great friends."
"Oh…" You nodded, still dazed. "I'm Jun by the way. What is your name?"
"My parents gave me a name only other plants can pronounce." The mint plant said. "You may call me Mint, since that is the name your kind has given me."
You nodded.
Once you felt your strength return, you started to examine the room. Noticing a book on a desk, you picked it up. Inside you found different types of medicine you could make from plants. As you browse through the book, a thought hit you. You could make medicine from the plants and work off your debt that way. They are thieves and go on raids often. If you could heal their injuries, that would surely help you earn your keep and later your freedom. Smiling, you hid the book under your shirt hoping Youko wouldn't notice when you left.
"Jun?" Mint called, snapping you out of your thoughts.
"Yes?" You turned around with a smile.
"What song where you singing?" The plant asked meekly. "Could you sing it instead of just humming it?"
"It was a song my mother used to always sing." You explained. "Almost absentmindedly, she would just start singing it."
You started to sing.
"A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through.
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true."
Right when the last word sprang from your lips, the door opened. Youko was standing in the entrance.
"Are you finished in here?" He asked.
"Yes." You scurried over to him.
"Then let's head over to my room." Youko told you. "It's almost 5:00."
You nodded as Youko closed the door behind you. He gave you an odd look as you walked to his room. You fixed your hair, nervous under his glance.
"Is something wrong, sir?" You asked.
"What were you doing in there all day?" He question.
"I was cleaning, like you told me to do." You answered.
You didn't feel like you could tell him about the plants talking to you or your escapade with the water. You could barely believe plants could talk. The last thing you needed was Youko thinking you were crazy. Just when you found out how to get free? No way. You felt his gaze still. A blush flooded your face. Youko opened the door to his room and you quickly filled in behind him.
"Suzu will be in shortly with your meal." Youko announced. "I'm going to head down to the dining hall myself."
Youko left. Puzzled as to why he had to walk you all the way to his room and then leave, you sat on his bed. You took the book out from under your clothes and sat it next to you. Suzu soon came in and gave you your dinner. As you ate, you read the book. Bloodroot, willow bark and mint came up in the remedies often. You would need to learn how to identify bloodroot and how to get willow bark inside the complex. After eating you sat your tray down on the dresser and hid the book under your pillow in your closet. Then you headed over to Youko's bathroom. Youko's bathroom was the most elaborate in the whole place. Inside there was a toilet, a sink, a large bath, and a vanity. You began to fill the bath and took off your clothes. Sinking into the water a moan escaped your lips. The hot water felt heavenly on your body. Cleaning the green house and using your power tired you out. Then, your ears twitch as you heard the door close in the bedroom. Youko was back. You expected him to be out later than this. The door to the bathroom began to click. Quickly, you sunk deeper under the water and tried to cover your body. All but your nose and eyes was under water.
"Well, what is this?" A voiced said with amusement.
As the owner of the voice opened the door and Yomi appeared. Without a second thought you glared at the imposter.
"I guess Youko isn't in here." Yomi chuckled.
Happy there was enough bubbles in the water to hid your voluptuous figure, but angry that Yomi kept his gaze upon you, you continued to glare. Yomi chuckled nervously when you didn't replied.
Rising just enough out of the water to speak you said, "Please leave."
Once you idolize him for treating you as his equal and training you. Living here didn't seem too bad if Yomi was your friend. You no longer liked this man. His mere presence made the hair on your tail stand up. However, Yomi seemed to like your new defiant personality and wanted to play with you.
"You know those bubbles won't hid you forever," Yomi smirked, "I can wait. And if Youko does walk in, I can say it was an accident."
You rolled your eyes. You heard steps walk and stop outside the bedroom. Glancing at Yomi, you saw he hadn't heard the possible threat to his plan. Straining to recognize the voices as friend or foe, your attention focused there instead of Yomi's perverted gaze. You cursed under you're breath when you couldn't make out the voices. The bubbles were disappearing. You needed a new plan. As you decided on a route of action, you prayed it would work. An ear-piercing scream came from your mouth. The shocked made Yomi fall over. A wave that looked like a tide wave even compared to the large bathtub, ran over the edge and on to Yomi. Breathing heavily and looking at Yomi in shock, you felt a towel hit you. You looked up. Youko stood in the doorway. He was furious. Why he angry you couldn't decide. Was it the fact you were naked in front of Yomi, the fact that Yomi walked in on you, or was it the fact that you created a giant tide wave in his bathroom and soaked the place.
"Cover up." Youko growled.
You wrapped the towel around you. It was damp from falling in what was left of the water in the tub. Under Youko's intense gaze, you hung your head in shame. Yomi had stood up sometime during this and looked at Youko is shock.
"Did you see what she did to me?" Yomi asked. "I accidently walk in on her and she soaks me."
"You’re lucky that's all you got." Youko growled. "I'll deal with you later."
Yomi's eyes grew to the size of saucer plates as he scurried out of the room.
"Get dressed." Youko turned his head.
Shamed, you walked into your closet, dried off, and got dressed. You peaked out off a crack in the door. Youko was standing in front of his bed waiting for you. You'd never seen him so angry before. It frightened you. Your fight or flight response was going crazy and you wanted to choose flight. You wanted to hide under your blankets and disappear. However, you knew that wasn't going to happen. Opening the door, you prepared for his wrath.
"Do you want to explain what happened just now?" Youko tapped his foot impatiently.
"Yomi walked in on me…" You said sheepishly with your head down.
"I can see that." Youko rolled his eyes. "I meant, could you explain why my bathroom is now soaking wet and why my fellow thief was also soaking wet?"
He was mad about the bathroom.
"You was taking a bath," You began slowly trying to control your urge to run and cry, "Since I was dirty from cleaning the greenhouse. I was almost done when Yomi walked in on me. I asked him to leave, but he refused. Then heard you and, I think Kuronue…" You paused and looked at Youko. He nodded and waited, "I heard you two talking so I thought if I screamed you would hear me and see Yomi. Then you would make him leave… And it worked. However, I didn't realize my powers would awaken at that moment and soak everything… And everyone."
After a long time without Youko saying a word, you looked up at him. Trying to figure out what he was thinking, you studied his face. His expression was blank and cold. You hunched your shoulders, expecting to be slapped, hit or something. It didn't come.
"Well, why don't you use that new power of yours to clean up your mess." Youko simply said without emotion.
"Yes, sir." You bowed, "I-I mean master."
You walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
Youko paced as he waited for Jun to clean. What was he suppose to do? He was furious, but not at Jun: at Yomi. What was he thinking walking in on her in the bath? How dare he try to see her naked? Furthermore, how dare he try to see her naked before he had? Youko had to punish Yomi in a way that fit the crime regardless of his personal feelings toward Jun. Additionally, he must punish Jun for attacking one of her superiors: a crime that was usually punished by death. Rubbing his temples, he heard a sweet song soothe his troubles thoughts.
The light left Youko's eyes. He usually seemed so happy and carefree. Yet, today the happiness you had seen in his eyes left. You began to sing a song to help keep your mind off Youko and on the task at hand. You stopped as the last of the water was cleaned up. Again, you peeked out a door to see if Youko was there. He was staring at the night from the balcony. Slowly, you opened the door and tiptoed to your closet. Yet, Youko caught you just as you opened the door.
"Jun, wait." Youko walked over. You froze. Then let your body go limp as you hung your head. "Don't be like that."
Youko reached out for you and you flinched. Hurt by your reaction, but trying to ignore it, he held you close to him. You start shiver in fear. Youko sensed your fear and started to smooth you hair in an attempt to calm you.
"Shhh…" Youko tried to soothe you. "I'm not going to hurt you. No harm is going to come to you…"
"But, aren't you angry with me?" You asked timidly.
"How could I be mad at you when its Yomi’s fault?" Youko asked. "He's been trying to undermine me ever since he get here… This is just another attempt to steal what is mine and hurt me. However, it would have been better if you hadn't attacked him…"
Youko lead you his bed and he sat you down next to him. He held your hand and looked into your eyes. The situation with Yomi had left you shaken. It would be a while until you recovered and you would never see Youko the same again after you saw he livid. Yet, now, when he was being so gentle, it was hard to see him and believe he could be violent.
"Jun, I need you to be strong tomorrow." Youko told you. "There will be a trial on whether or not you should be killed for your crime."
You gasped and recoiled from him. Killed? You never thought your action would lead to such a harsh punishment. Maybe a week without food locked in your closet, but death?
"The other thieves will decide," Youko continued, "If they see you as anything other than a liability, you will most likely… Sadly, I haven't trained you and you can't even function as a maid properly with the restrictions. If only I knew this was going to happen."
"I won't." You said simply. "I don't know how, but I know I'm not useless."
A small smile climbed to Youko lips. You looked him in the eyes and gave him a smile.
"That's my girl." Youko kissed you on the cheek. "Now off to bed. It's going to be a busy day tomorrow."
You opened your closet and climbed inside. It was true. You didn't know what you would do. The only thing you did know was you were going to prove you're worth tomorrow. You took out the book on plants and began to memorize ever line.
