It Call's Freedom

Chapter 1: I want to get out of here.


Kagos Prov:
I woke up early in the morning to the usual hustle and bustle. I heard hasty steps and loud shouts. It was nothing new.
I slowly got up and stretched. My muscles ached for a brief moment, but I ignored it.
I walked slowly to the door and pushed it aside. Servants scurried back and forth before my eyes. Everyone was in a state of excitement.
A shadow wanted to run past me, but I reached out my hand and grabbed the "something" by the collar. My friend Mika looked at me with big green eyes. "What's going on here?" I asked her. "You don't know that, today there is an important visitor. We should finish all the bathrooms.", Mika replies and scurries away again. I looked after her briefly, but was then warned by a minder and then went to work like the others to get the bathrooms ready.
And so there was a lot of work waiting for me.When you worked in a bathhouse, you always had a lot to do. Since this bathhouse was one of the most famous in Japan, visitors of high rank always came. Mostly lords and nobles. People were not allowed to bathe in such buildings. They were only for the youkai.
But like many here I am human. I've lived since I was little and knew that I was only tolerated here because I did a good job.
One of the guardians found me at the entrance when I was a baby and took me away.
When I got to one of the really big bathrooms, I rolled up my cinema sleeves, got myself a rag and began to clean the big tub. This required a lot of effort and after a short time my back was burning like hell and my arms were aching. Annoyed, I kept stroking individual strands of hair behind my ear. Even though I wore a ponytail, a couple of strands kept coming off.
After I had finished scrubbing the basin, I let warm water flow into the tub through a hidden button.Finished with the first bathroom, I cleaned up four more.
I was just finishing the last basin of the large baths when I heard a bell ringing through the corridors. Having lunch. Actually, I could be happy to get something to eat now. But in the dining rooms there was a recurring struggle for food.
Sighing, I ran over to it, Mika will definitely be waiting for me there. And I was right. I could already see her from the entrance as she tried to push her way through the crowd. But in vain.
With a small smile I finally walked up to her. "It's really bad here. I'm hungry and they just won't let me through here. Hello, you're not alone here. There are others too!" Mika grumbled. "Wait, I'll get something for us." I answered her and stepped towards the crowd. I skilfully slipped into a small gap and pushed past a fat man. I could already see the food lying on a large table when a broad back came before my eyes.I clenched my hand in a fist, furious. I poked my elbow hard in the broad back. The man cried out in pain and turned around. He looked at me angrily and raised his fist. But before the hand could hit me, I grabbed it, twisted and tossed it over my shoulder at the head of the crowd with a nimble movement. I turned around, took two plates and filled them with food before walking back to Mika. "Well done. To throw the guy away," my friend shouted, beaming. "Oh, that was nothing." I waved him off.
It went like this about every day. You always had to fight your way through the crowd to get something to eat. And most of the time there was a little fight.
I really hated being here. But what could I do?
I did not know the owner of the bathhouse, in fact I had never seen her. I couldn't just get out of here.Even if I tried, I'd be dead the first time I step out of the gates.
Mika talked happily about this and that, but I didn't listen to her at all.
Just before we had finished eating, the door opened and the owner's personal advisor came in. "So you filthy gang. Listen! In a few minutes there will be a very high-ranking visitor. The mistress wants you to change. Because high-ranking visitors want nothing to do with such stunted people!" walked slowly to our room.
On the way, the girl next to me wondered who the visitor could be and raved that maybe it could be a good-looking man.
I just smiled at her dreamy look, pulled a halfway nice Kinomo out of the closet. After we had changed, we ran to the gates with all the other servants and waited for the visitor.
In the setting sun, I could only make out the outline of a person.So here I was, waiting for the visitor. In the distance I could see the outlines of people, but I couldn't tell who or what the figures were. A light breeze blew and lifted silver shimmering hair into the air. I looked spellbound at the glittering play of colors.
Now the "figures" were only a few meters away and I recognized five people. They were all youkai, without a doubt. But three of them seemed to be of much higher rank. Finally the group stopped and my mistress, who also owned the bathhouse, bowed to the visit. "A warm welcome, Lord Taishou. It is an honor for us to welcome you here.", The mistress whispered. The lord just nodded and passed between the two rows of servants.
I had heard a lot about the Lord. Unlike the other lords, he is said to be very good-natured and helpful. He didn't have that hatred of people either.
Unlike his wife.She was a tall youkai and despised people as if they were beings with a repulsive disease.
Then there was his son. Sesshoumaru. His demeanor was always cool and aloof. Many tongues rumored that he mercilessly killed anyone who stood in his way.
Just thinking about it made me shiver.
Now the three youkai passed me. Two personal servants ran behind them.
As it should be, we all bowed our heads down, showing our devotion and respect.
But it had to turn out differently than I wanted.
Out of sheer curiosity, I looked up and looked straight into Sesshoumaru's eyes. As if frozen, I looked into those cold eyes, which also looked like liquid gold.
I quickly looked at the floor again. Hoping I wouldn't get a punishment But the youkai went on as if nothing had happened.


Sess Prov:
Slowly my parents and I walked through the ranks of the servants.This was another idea from my mother. She said that such an "excursion" would be good for us and that we could finally relax again,
But that was just her opinion.
And so she dragged us into this bathhouse. Bored, I kept walking until my gaze was much at a girl, barely older than 17, looked up and looked me straight in the eye.
Dark brown eyes watched me spellbound and when she noticed what she was doing, the black-haired girl lowered her gaze back to the floor.
What did this woman actually allow herself to look me straight in the eye? You could only do this if you were asked to do this.
With a cold look I went on after all.
In the rows I saw several youkai women giving me tempting looks. But this left me cold. I wasn't interested in women. They used to be a good way to pass the time. But only for one night.
I was then taken to a room in the big building.
There I looked around first before I stepped onto the balcony and looked out.In the garden I saw the girl from before. She was carrying a basket of towels and was talking to another girl.
Her hair was blowing slightly in the wind and she pushed individual strands of her black hair behind her ear in one movement. Just that single move looked graceful and made her look wonderful for some unknown reason.
When I saw what I was thinking, I shook my head and turned away from the balcony.
I heard footsteps in the corridor in front of my door and, from the smell of the approaching person, I realized that it was my father. After knocking from him, I asked Inu Taishou to come in.
"I have a request for you Sesshoumaru. Please behave as it should be for a prince. I don't want to hear any complaints," said my father. Anger boiled up in me. Anger that everyone was dictating to me and couldn't leave me alone for a minute. I just nodded from myself. But then disappeared from my room.I had to vent my mind somehow. The only question is how.
Without paying attention, I ended up in a quiet corner of the garden. I clenched my fist and smashed a stone. I growled a few words. “I finally want to go. Be free.” But I didn't know that I wasn't as alone as I thought I was.
I heard a rustle behind me and I turned around.
The girl from before was standing a few meters away.
She looked at me with a slight smile.
"I understand you. But you have the chance to escape. So take advantage of it too." After these words, she turned around and walked into the building, her hair flowing.
I stared after her, confused. What did she mean by saying that I should take my chance?
I quickly straightened my shoulders. And also went back into the house.
My father met me there. He asked me something, but I didn't hear. I just walked past him.
He looked after me in amazement, but I didn't notice.When I got to one of the bathrooms, I took off my clothes and got into the large tub. What I noticed was that there was a certain smell hanging in the whole room. I couldn't connect him to anyone, but he looked familiar to me.
I tried to filter out the smell. But I didn't succeed.
I leaned back thoughtfully and closed my eyes. My mind was still circling around the girl's words.
I dived one head underwater and tried to clear my mind of thoughts. In vain. Finally I emerged again and wiped the wet hair off my face.
"Why should you understand me?"


So the 1st Pitelchen is ready. I hope you like it and I haven't defaced the cold block of ice. ^^
Please leave me a few commies. Would be really happy.

Your nina-sama
