『Kodoku no Saibou』(1×1 w/ Jikkah)

Yukimura frowned softly, looking down at his tea for a moment before looking back up. “Have I done something to offend you?”
 
"Exist." Sasuke replied. Akihime scowled and stood, moving over and climbing onto the veranda. She pulled a talisman from her sleeve and Sasuke began to panic.
"Nonono, wai-!!" He was cut off when she slammed it over his forehead and he was forced into his fox form. She scruffed him and turned to Yukimura and Kojurou.
"Please excuse me. He needs to be put in time out." She said before hauling Sasuke inside.
 
Yukimura stared with wide eyes as Sasuke was dragged away, glancing to Kojurou and clearing his throat. “A-Ah.. I’m sure it’s fine..”
 
He looked a little taken aback, laughing a bit to help ease his anxiety. “I see, so it isn’t personal..?”
 
"Unfortunately, it's very personal," Kojurou said sympathetically, "he doesn't like to share Akihime, even though he is her most recent shiki. Uh, aside from you, of course."
 
“Sh-Share?” He was embarrassed by the idea, but troubled that he had already stepped on toes the moment he showed up. “Is there anything I can do to smooth things out?”
 
“Right..” He drank some more tea, looking over the empty garden.
Amaya returned to Kojurou, taking a seat across from him. “I’ve sent for an urgent request, we should receive a shipment tomorrow.”
 
She bowed her head to him before glancing around. “Have Lady Akihime and Sasuke left?” She asked curiously.
 
"Ah," Kojurou gave a wary smile, "Sasuke is being put in time out."
"Where he will stay until the evening." Akihime said as she returned, "Please, forgive my rudeness, Kojurou."
"It's no trouble, Akihime."
 
She let out a soft sigh and Yukimura gave a sheepish smile. “And here I thought he’d manage to behave while I was gone..”
 
"He was being quite rude to Yukimura, who was nothing but kind. You know how I feel about behavior like that, Amaya." Akihime said gently, patting Yukimura's hand gently.
 
“Of course my lady, you’ll hear no complaints from me.” Amaya said. “I can always keep his mouth permanently shut if such a solution is needed.” She offered.
Yukimura’s ears burned bright red again, glancing at Akihime’s hand as she patted him, heart almost beating out of his chest.
 
“Of course.”
The remainder of the day was used to clean up the remaining mess in the garden, leaving only planting for the next day. Dinner was served by Yukimura at sunset, Sasuke finally allowed out of his punishment once it was time to eat. Kojurou would be spending the night, Amaya readying both the baths and a room for him.
 
Sasuke didn't say a word all night unless it was to thank someone, which Akihime was glad for.
"Thank you again for letting me stay and help, Akihime." Kojurou said. She smiled, shaking her head.
"Thank you for even coming all the way to help. It is much appreciated." She replied.
 
Amaya helped Yukimura clear the dishes from dinner as Kojurou and Akihime spoke, Yukimura’s mind wandering to other more interesting topics as he took the dishes back to the kitchen to wash up.
 
His imagination ran rampant, running various scenarios over and over in his mind.
"I probably shouldn't waste the effort Amaya-san put into my bath." Kojurou said, moving to his feet. Akihime stood as well, giving a nod.
"Please, enjoy your time here. If you need anything, feel free to ask."
 
Yukimura’s face was flush as he scrubbed the dishes, trying to focus on his task but he couldn’t stop the intrusive thoughts. Akihime had touched him twice, that meant something right? His thoughts wandered a bit too far, imaging Akihime’s soft hands touching him somewhere more intimate- imagining him touching her.
“I prepared clean clothes for you in the bath, and I’ve set out your bedding in your room.” Amaya said.
 
Kohurou bowed his head, "Thank you so much."
"Sleep well tonight, Kojurou." Akihime said and Kojurou nodded before heading off. Akihime turned to Amaya and smiled.
"I might turn in, as well. We have a lot to do tomorrow." She said.
 
She nodded. “Please allow me to tend to the rest, turn in for the night my lady.” Amaya said. “I’ll even ensure Sasuke doesn’t get into anymore trouble tonight.”
 
Amaya coughed softly, cheeks flushed as she turned to usher Sasuke to his feet. “Alright, that’s enough sulking in public, take it to your room.” She said.
