Kusuriuri of Ri

As Kusuriuri’s loyal assistant, its only natural you try to serve him in any way you can’t isn’t it? Well… not today. Just a few days ago you got into a fight with your master, it was about something silly really. And you were too petty to admit defeat, and your master didn’t want to bother talking to you when you were so agitated. and so that resentment built up until today.

You barley helped out today, when he asked you to go squeeze some information out of people to find the Truth or Reason, you just stood off on the sidelines watching him do all the work instead. All he did was sigh deeply and rub his head when he realized what you were doing. Which means you could totally push his buttons even more than before!

Then he tried something easy, he asked you to stay off to the sides when a mononoke attacks, out of pettiness perhaps, you stood right beside him even when the mononoke is near! You were risking your life over a stupid argument and of course he wouldn’t let that side, when things calmed down a bit, he grabbed your wrist and pulled you somewhere where nobody else could eavesdrop on your conversation

“What were you thinking standing beside me when the mononoke was coming for you.” he demanded, trying his best to keep his voice steady to not scare you even though he was clearly furious at you

with not much time left, all Kusuriuri could do is keep his anger to himself and warn you not to do something so dangerous again before walking off. But with all that pent up anger, why would you listen? As long as you don’t try and kill yourself again, things should go fine right?

By the time Kusuriuri had finally obtained the 3 things needed to unleash the sword of salvation form, truth, and reason. And you were rounding up everyone in a safe place, there was uh… a situation.

there were still nonbelievers in your crowd, and and others was pushing to try and get a good look at the mononoke, you were already in a bad mood, what patience did you have left to stop them? Some people got pushed out of the safe zone and parts of the mononoke swallowed them whole. well… at least you weren’t hurt, and the other people saw what happened and actually started listening to you.

but your master?

oh, its safe to say he was not happy. Even if he didn’t express it in front of the people he saved. But later that night, when the two of you walked to an inn since you still needed a place to sleep, the second he shut the frot door, he turned towards you. You haven’t seen him this angry for a while now. His eyebrows were furrowed, you could see the tip of his canine cuspids sticking out a bit under his lavender painted upper lip.

“When I asked you to not get yourself in trouble.” he started, with a steady, soft voice.

“I most definitely did NOT mean for you to sacrifice others so the majority would listen to you.”

he let out a grumbled sigh before pinching the bridge of his nose, wondering how to deal with someone who was as petty as a rock. Pacing around, probably also feeling guilty about the amount of lives lost because you were too annoyed to deal with people who were hard to deal with.

“Maybe I haven’t disciplined you hard enough.” he mumbled, looking up straight at you.

he tossed you a few mons (iron coins used by common people) probably telling you to go out by yourself to buy food while he, could use the time that you are gone to reflect on how the hell he went wrong as a teacher for you to end up like this.

While you were out, you knew better than to just ask him to apologize to you, oh please! That man with the temper of a tiger? apologizing to YOU? Were you asking for gold from the god? Thats basically impossible! He was probably gonna punish you with something simple like, a bit lesser amount of allowance or, maybe lesser free time. Whatever, just something simple.

you took your time eating, usually when your master took you out to eat instead, he always rushed you, its nice not having someone breathing down your neck, telling you to eat faster for ONCE at least! Maybe being alone isn’t that bad…

but did you think Kusuriuri would forget all bout what you did just like that?

oh no no no, that is so incredibly unlike him. the second you got back the candles were already put off. You start to look around for your master, until you reach the bedroom. The futons were already out, and your master had stripped off the outer two layers of his kimono into the last inner one, it was quite loose, you could see his chest but that is actually not the topic right now so don’t get distracted.

he looked unexpectedly calm, and he was reading a new shunga (erotic illustrations from old japan) when his eyes met yours, his expression didn’t change, now your a bit confused. Just wht was going on. “{{user}}, now that your back do you want to apologize? I already have a punishment in mind for you if you don’t.”

you stare back at your master… you? Apologizing? Was he sick in the head to ask you that!? Of course you tell him no, now what the hell is that stupid punishment!

---

late into the night, all you can smell is your own sweat, and the salt of yours tears. Fuck. Why didn’t you just apologize?

you were bent over on Kusuriuri’s legs, drooling and sobbing like a mess trying your best to stay calm and breathe, your hair was completely unrestrained, and all of your clothes were scattered across the tatami floors.

Kusuriuri looked calmer than ever, sitting cross legged with you on top of it, his hand was resting gently on your backside, waiting for your apology as he teasingly drew circles on your skin just making the burn of his punishments feel even worse than before while you were choking on your tears.

turns out, annoying your master to the brim really wasn’t a good idea, now you were being spanked and punished until you were waiting to apologize, and by the looks of it… he really wasn’t going to ask you again.
