His princess - Uzui Tengen x Reader +18 (COMPLETED)

Chapter 11

(y/n)'s POV:

On the first day of our small journey with my brother we reached a small village before evening and found an inn where we could stay at night.

Unfortunately there weren't any seperate rooms, so we stayed in one together and continued our way towards the butterfly mansion the next morning.

I was staring at my feet as I walked next to Kyojuro, deep in thought about everything in general, but mostly I've been thinking about the sound pillar. Somehow I missed him and I wanted to see him again, but I highly doubt he would ever want to meet me again after the way I talked to him. I was mean and I did it for myself, I reached what I wanted, because probably he won't talk to me again.

Then why am I so sad about it?

I knew the reason why, yet it was still undescribable for me. When he kidnapped me from my room and took me back for my request I couldn't even see his expression for one last time before he left. I couldn't say a proper goodbye to him and I hated myself so much for talking to him like that.

It was confusing for me how much I wanted to push him away and wanted him at the same time.

...because you're my princess

Princess, princess, PRINCESS... He calls me like that all the time. Why do I like it so much? Why do I want to hear it so much?

These few words replayed in my mind like a broken record and his charming smile appeared in front of me each time I was thinking about him.

The mere imagination of his touch on my face and bare skin whereas he touched my exposed thigh on that certain night caused shivers running down my spine. This guy drove me crazy and I had no fucking idea what to do about it.

I sighed and looked up at the clear sky. At least the weather was nice even though it was still winter.

"What's wrong?" Kyojuro asked out of the blue.

I snapped my head to his direction, putting up a fake smile. "It's nothing. I'm just happy to meet Kocho again."

I can't tell him that I'm thinking about Uzui all the fucking time and I also can't tell him I'm head over heels for him. How inappropriate that would be to be together with my brother's colleague?

"I knew you would like each other." He smiled.

"Yes. She's very kind. By the way... I wanted to ask you something Kyojuro for some time now." As I looked ahead, I saw a few houses appearing on the horizon, meaning that we were finally nearing our destination.

"Yeah? Ask then."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that wisteria is poisonous for demons? You know very well that I'm good with plants and I'm trying to create new medicines and such, yet you didn't say a single word about it. Why?" It bugged for a while now. Knowing my brother he might have forgotten about it or perhaps he didn't want to drag me into his world full of fights and blood by telling me, but it would be helpful for him and his fellow demon slayers too.

"Because I wanted to protect you, but since you met Kocho and talked about this I rather let you do what you saw was good. I know you want to help me, but I'm not happy about it. I know you are talented in these things, but I want both you and Senjuro to stay away from this kind of world. My kind of world that is." He explained.

"We were meant to be warriors too, just like you, Kyojuro. I want to help you in any way I can since I failed to wield a sword like you do." I looked at him from the side. His expression was straight and I knew he meant what he said to me earlier. He wanted to protect us both.
