                                  BORN INTO A WEALTY FAMILY OF RICE MERCHANTS, AMAYO WAS INTRODUCED TO HIS SEVENTEENTH YEAR ACCOMPANIED BY HIS NEW WIFE AND CHILD ON THE WAY. THOUGH HIS MARRIAGE HAD BEEN PLANNED FOR MANY MONTHS WITHOUT HIS CONSENT, HE WAS FAIRLY EXCITED FOR HIS CHILD’S BIRTH. AMAYO, BEING A STERN AND SOLEMN MAN, DID NOT SHOW HIS DESIRES CARELESSLY LIKE THE OTHER FOLKS. KEEPING HIS URGES/FEELINGS TO HIMSELF, HE WATCHED THE VILLAGE KIDS ASK THEIR PARENTS TO PLAY WITH THEM, IMAGINING HIMSELF IN THEIR SHOES. OR EVEN RETRIEVED THEIR BALL STUCK ON A ROOFTOP WHEN NO ONE WAS LOOKING. BEING BORN AS AN ONLY CHILD, AMAYO WAS PRONE TO LONESOME NIGHTS OF NO PLAY, HOPING THAT HIS PARENTS WOULD CHANGE THEIR MINDS AND HAVE A QUICKIE. BUT NOW, WITH HIS BABY BOY ON BOARD, AMAYO COULDN’T HELP BUT SMILE WITH DELIGHT.

                                  FOR THE FIRST TWO MONTHS, THE ATMOSPHERE WAS ALMOST CALMY. BUSINESS WAS GROWING, AND SO WAS THE MERCHANT. HIS WIFE HAD TAKEN PLENTY OF NOTICE OF HOW GENTLE AND AT EASE AMAYO HAD GROWN, ESPECIALLY WITH HIS CHILD WRAPPED IN HIS ARMS. HAVING A CHILD OF HIS OWN TAUGHT THE YOUNG MAN COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING, THROUGH HIS STRIVE TO BE AN EXCELLENT FATHER. ONE LOOK INTO HIS SON’S EYES AND AMAYO MELTED AWAY HIS WORRIES.

                                  IT WASN’T UNTIL THE STORM CAME THAT THE VILLAGE WENT DOWN IN DESTRUCTION. THOUGH ANY RICE MERCHANT WOULD PRAY FOR SOME RAIN FOR THEIR CROPS, OTHERS FEARED THE WORST WOULD COME IF THEIR PRAYS WERE ANSWERED. A AME-ONNA HAD ARRIVED. SHE FLOODED THE RIVER AND RUINED DROWNED THE NEARBY CROPS. PROPERTY WAS DAMAGED AND ROADS WERE BLOCKED AND CATTLE GREW SICK WITHIN A WEEK. IT WASN’T UNTIL SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE RAIN STOPPED. ALL WAS SILENT AND IT SEEMED THE AME-ONNA WAS FOUND WHAT IT WANTED. BUT WHEN AMAYO HAD RETURNED HOME FOR WORK, HE FOUND A MOURNING MOTHER AND A MISSED CHILD. AMAYO’S HEART TIGHTENED IN PAIN, AS HE COULDN’T CONTAIN THE PAIN OF LOSING HIS ONLY SON. ENRAGED AND EMOTIONAL, THE YOUNG MAN TOOK OFF TO FOLLOW THE STORM, IN A ATTEMPT TO STEAL BACK HIS SON. FOR MONTHS HE CONTINUED HIS JOURNEY, WITH NOTHING BUT THE DRIVE FOR A CHILD. IT TOOK HIM A YEAR TO REALIZE WHAT HE HAD TRANSFORMED INTO.

                                  NOW UNABLE TO RETURN HOME TO THE HUMANS WITHOUT CURSING THEM WITH A LIFE OF RAIN AND SORROW, AMAYO WANDERED TO THE SPIRIT REALM WHERE HE ASKED FOR A JOB AS A CLEANER IN THE BATHHOUSE. HOWEVER, THE OWNER FOUND HIS YOUTH AND STATURE MORE FITTED AS HER APPRENTICE TO RUN HER PERSONAL TASK WHENEVER SHE YEARNED. WITHOUT HESITATION, AMAYO AGREED IN HOPES TO DROWN AWAY HIS SAD MEMORIES OF A FAMILY HE ONCE KNEW.

          • The smell of rain lingered in the air, as the young apprentice stepped outside of the bathhouse for a moment to himself. Today was a day of celebration: The Annual Bathhouse party. All staff were to be preparing for the festivities and waiting hand and foot on the honored guests. All but the ame-otoko, who found the busy life of hard work tiresome to watch. Rather than participating, Yoru decided he’d be better use out of the way of his co-workers. The warm dark still hugged the dawn, as the neighboring businesses began to light up. Perched up against the entrance bridge, his eyes clung to the passing train, enticed by thoughts that he’d never dare pursue.

            A toad from within the building began to croak. “Yoru, sir Yoru! You should be inside this instance! Lady Hanabi will be in need of you any minute!” But the irritable apprentice did not bore himself with a head turn. Letting out an exasperated sigh, Yoru stepped over the tiny worker, escaping towards the back door. ”I’ll be there, alright?” and vanished before another scolding. Gracefully, he shifted his body mass through a small door that led to the backyard, where the plants and herbs are grown. He wandered through its maze of freshly bloomed flowerers in search of something.

            As he walked, thoughts of Lady Hanabi entered his mind, wondering if she was ready for her yearly party. Perhaps she truly did need his assistance. After all, she was the very reason that Yoru now had a purpose in life. Despite what majority of the staff thought of her, the apprentice never shifted from her side. It did not matter how much pain she could bring to a person or how impure her intentions could be. She was one who gave him a second chance for a new life. Freed him of the burdensome memories that once haunted him timelessly. If it meant corrupting Yoru and his morals to stand beside her, so be it.

            Coming to the edge of the garden, he had finally made his way to the center of the grounds. His eyes immediately caught a glimpse of the young twirler in the midst of her practice. For a minute, the ame-otoko stood silent, just gazing at the performer. How effortlessly she leaped into the air, as if flying to the heavens itself. It wasn’t until he stepped forward from the shrubs, that she jumped with cautious. With no subtle greeting, he imposed his company, with no hints of leaving. ”I didn’t mean to startle you.” He paused. The entertainer took a deep breath in surprise, confused by his presence and at such a busy timing. But before he could allow for Sei to question his intentions, he spoke over her. ”Continue, please” he ordered, as he crotched low on his feet against the flowery shrub. Without objections, the beauty continued her dance of awe, while her companion’s eyes mindlessly followed her every step. The ame-otoko didn’t quite understand why he found her dancing so peaceful to endure. It was a strange addiction that Yoru could not control.

            It wasn’t until the clouds began to cry, that Yoru decided to act upon his better judgment. ”We better leave now. Before others start to worry.” Grabbing upon her delicate hand, the apprentice impatiently escorted the entertainer with a quick foot out of the maze garden. The bathhouse cried out for help and service, once the two employees reached their destination. Sneaking in from the back sliding door, Yoru signaled for the maiden to wait after he entered, to avoid suspicion. ”I’ll see you again soon,” he whispered, a note of shyness hinted in his tone.

            Stepping into the working quarters, Yoru was already approached with upset clients. Clients complaining about the wait to be attended on and other miscellaneous questions that had no correlation to the apprentice, nor establishment. With a heavy sigh, he replied to every complaint, one by one. ”No sir, we do not sell those luxuries here….. I’m terribly sorry for the inconvenience, miss. If you could please wait to be assisted, we’d appreciate your patience.” Back and forth, the ame-otoko ran around the large room assisting people he loathed. Scanning the scene through the corners of his eyes, the entrance was now clear and no sight of Sei. But disappointed eyes traveled onto the nearest target, leading Yoru to a sudden annoyance: Shi. Yoru’s brow twitched at the sight of the little kitty, as his heart rate increased with excitement. Yards away, his dear roommate stood watching him with amusement. The guards tail swaying in a rhythmic beat, as he amusingly watched his prey run around in panic. How pissed Yoru grew at the sight of his only friend.

            ”Shi. You aren’t to hurt our guests. Lady Hanabi will not be pleased. ” The apprentice kept a fair yard radius away from the guard in public, as he was towered over for the most half. ”I hope you are not causing more harm than good,” he warned. ”Or I might have to put that awful flame of yours,” eyes lowering in suspicion. If there was one person that Yoru couldn’t contain his temper around, if was Shi and reckless games. It wasn’t until Shi said the ‘s’ word, that ame-otoko got defensive. ”I’m not short,” he denied. ”You are just freakishly tall for the average cat.” Eyebrows scrunched, and b***h face revealed, Yoru kepts his himself concentrated on the entrance, trying to regain his poise. As much as Yoru did not want to admit it, he loathed the fact that he was short. Especially shorter than this punkass. ”Why much you be such a nuisance ?” Though of course he did not expect any rational answer for his friend’s behavior. Nobody does in this hell hole.
