reunion in song — modern!mizu x covey!reader
Tumblr media
summary: reunion with your best friend (and crush) after coming home from college
a/n: im still new to this show so if this seems ooc for mizu im sorry 😭 reader is supposed to be loosely based off of lucy gray baird from the hunger games because i have been obsessed with her since i saw the ballad of songbirds and snakes
wc: 2k
warning(s): musical whimsy, mizu being smitten with reader, alcohol, bars, reader had a sleazy ex boyfriend, fighting, typical (but toned down) violence, use of y/n
from the river to the sea, palestine will be free 🇵🇸
︿︿︿︿︿︿ ✎ᝰ . . . .
It had been a long time since you’d been home, and for your first return to be at the tavern you’d performed at with your family when you were young had only made it better.
Your hands shakily gripped the fretboard of your guitar as the song your covey played was quickly coming to an end, trying to get a grip on the fact you were performing again after being off at school for so long.
You breathed in deeply, the smell of alcohol and a lively sweat filled your sinuses from the rowdy crowd dancing to the music, and breathed out.
Nothing you couldn’t handle before.
At least your friends would be there. Akemi, Taigen, Ringo, it was lovely to see and catch up with them again after coming home. But one person was missing.
God, you missed her the most.
You had frequently talked over the phone while you were gone, but since you had come back, you hadn’t seen her anywhere. But you had sent her an invite to see your covey here tonight. You always did, even when you weren’t performing with them. She always came and watched from the corner, at least when you were there.
She was your closest friend, and you loved her. Even if it was in a way you weren’t supposed to, but you hoped the feeling was mutual.
You heard your cousin, Maude Ivory, shout your name into the mic and it snapped you out of your thoughts.
You quickly hopped on stage with your instrument, the crowd immediately cheering at the sound of your name. You grinned so wide, you thought that you probably looked like a clown, but you didn’t care. It was good to be back in your element.
Maude Ivory stepped back from the mic, cheering for you with everyone else as you did a small twirl, and practically leaped towards the mic.
“Oh, hey there everyone!” You tucked a lock of hair behind your ear, glancing around the crowd before you. “Did you miss me?”
“Yeah!”
You chuckled at their single response, “I bet you never expected to lay eyes on me again since I left for school, but I am back.” You grinned, nodding as you noticed your friends near the front, giving them a wave, not noticing the one you most yearned to see in the far back.
You crouched down and quickly took a swig from your water before turning your attention back towards your audience.
“Now, how about a song?” You queried, and the crowd responded by cheering once more. You grinned again and slowly began to strum the notes to a song you used to play often.
“Can’t take my past,
Can’t take my history,
You could take my Pa,
But his names a mystery,”
Mizu watched in awe of your voice in the back, reminded of how much overwhelming joy you filled her with just by laying eyes on you. Let alone hearing your voice; when you sang, she believed it was the most beautiful sound.
“Nothing you can take from me
Was ever worth keeping
No, nothing you can take
Was ever worth keeping,”
The covey soon kicked into gear after you ended the last note, the folky melody flooding the bar and echoing off the walls along with the stomping of boots from the crowd dancing.
Mizu fought back a smile, subtly nodding her head to the song as you performed it. Loving how you easily got back into the groove of performing, her eyes wandering over your form as you bopped along to the song.
“Can’t take my charm,
Can’t take my humor,
Can’t take my wealth,
Cause it’s just a rumor,”
Your eyes fell on your friends, you were happily clapping along to the song — Ringo a bit more than the other two, but it succeeded in drawing a bigger smile out of you before you zoned back in.
“Nothing you can take,
Was ever worth keeping,
No, nothing you can take
Was ever worth keeping,”
Mizu’s eyes followed your gaze to your friends before turning back to you, just when you looked in her directed and spotted her.
“Thinking you’re so fine..—“
Your smile dropped in surprise, eyes widening at the sight of the woman. The corner of Mizu’s lips couldn’t help but tug up, finally being able to meet your eyes for the first time in years that wasn’t through a camera.
You were even more beautiful than she remembered, and she already thought of you being more gorgeous than any flower or girl she’d ever come across.
“Thinking you’re in control,
Thinking you’ll change me,”
Your grin came back quickly, keeping your gaze on Mizu for a moment longer to memorize her rare smile before turning back to your audience.
“Maybe rearrange me,
Think again if that’s your goal,”
You began to hum into the mic before someone started stomping through the crowd, shouting your name. A woman chased after him and called his name as Mizu’s sharp gaze landed on him, narrowing her eyes at him immediately.
Why was he here?
You rolled your eyes, but continued strummming for the sake of your performance. It was your first performance back home, you weren’t about to let your ex boyfriend hinder your happiness.
His current girlfriend fought to get him away from the stage, her hand harshly gripping his arm but he yanked it away. He drunkenly stumbling towards the stage and attempted to hop on right in front of you with his accordion, causing you to cringe away, ceasing the playing of your guitar as the others slowly stopped right after you.
His girlfriend yanked back off stage.
“What are you trying to play with them, Yusei!?” She scolded. He placed his hand on the center of her chest and pushed her back, eliciting a gasp from the crowd that she stumbled into.
Another man pushed him for pushing his girlfriend, since everyone knew who she was.
The mayors daughter.
“Settle down- Settle down!” You announced into the mic, but no one paid you any mind.
A brawl began to break out, and Ringo quickly ushered your friends out while your ex crawled his way back onto the stage and gripped your long skirt tightly.
You attempted to back up and pull away, angling your guitar to your side as you glared down at him harshly.
“I know you miss me, (Y/N)!” He shouted, tugging at your skirt as you attempted to kick him off.
“You get your hands off me right now, I swear to god.”
Mizu began to step forward to yank the man off you, god knows how much she already hated him from past encounters, but a missed punched landed right on her jaw and she stumbled.
“Get your hands off me, Yusei!” You repeated in a shout, starting to panic as your hands gripped your guitar tightly.
The guitar strings began to leave marks on your fingers as Mizu recollected herself and marched over to the man, decking him in the face and effectively knocking him off you. You gasped as she punched him a second and third time before Ringo began dragging him off, and Maude Ivory tugged you off stage and through the back exit of the bar.
After getting outside, Mizu spit the blood out of her mouth after accidentally biting her tongue when getting punched and Ringo laughed.
“I never thought I’d have to save you,”
Mizu huffed a small laugh, before her mind returned to you, “She’s back.” She whispered, and Ringo’s eyes lit up with her.
———
“You think I’m gone cause I left…”
Mizu paused on her search through the woods and meadows surrounding your hometown for you after hearing from Maude Ivory, looking to where the voice was coming from.
“But I’m the trees,
I’m in the breeze,”
Her feet began to move absentmindedly towards the singing, feeling inexplicably drawn to it. There you were. A smile quickly made its way onto her lips as she cleared the clump of trees onto the top of a hill, overlooking a meadow from its edge of flowers and tall grass.
“My footsteps on the ground,
You’ll see my face in every place
but you can’t catch me now,”
Her eyes landed on the back of someone’s head, the beautiful plucking of their guitar strings filling her head with a nostalgic sound she’d only felt when she was with you.
Snap!
Your head whipped around quickly at the sound of a twig snapping, your gaze quickly landing on the blue eyed woman a few feet behind you.
“Maude Ivory said I might find you out here,” Mizu spoke softly as you felt your cheeks heat up, and turned to set your guitar down against the rock you rested on.
“She was right,” You smiled softly, making your way around the rock to stand just a few feet away from Mizu. It was still too far for your liking, your body itched to run to her and feel her arms around you again, but it’d been so long…
“I’m glad you’re back,” Mizu spoke, with a warmth to her tone that was rarely ever there with the average person. But you weren’t a stranger to her. You never would be. She made her way to you, looking down at you as there was finally less than a foot of space between you. “I missed you. More than you’ll ever know.”
You smiled softly up at her, your gaze running over every curve on her face, admiring her. You wished you could’ve been home sooner, maybe if you’d never left…
You teared up, your gaze turning down and staying on her collarbone, you felt ashamed.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t come home sooner,” You began, and Mizu furrowed her brows in confusion. “I wanted to. I wanted to see you more than anything — I missed you more than anything, but I couldn’t afford the trip and tuition. I’m so sorry.”
Mizu put her hands on either side of your head, her thumbs rubbing the curve of your cheekbones as you looked up at her with so much love.
“It’s alright,” She whispered her reassurance, looking down into your eyes and then your lips before leaning down. She stopped right before kissing you, her forehead gently pressing against yours as she silently asked for permission.
Your stomach flipped as your hands came up to grip her shirt, your eyes fluttering shut before she tilted your head up and pressed her mouth against yours.
It was needy, almost pleading for you to never part and be that far from her again as her chapped lips molded to yours like they were made for resting against your own.
Your hands came up to grip her wrists as you parted, eyes still shut before she pressed her lips against your again, pulling you closer to her desperately. You let out a small whimper before you heard a whistle from behind you, and pulled apart to see one of your cousins waving and bounding towards the two of you.
“Looks like the proper authorities are looking for you,” You said softly, your hand resting on top of the one hand that still rested against your head before walking up towards Maude Ivory. “I’ll handle this; they’ll be here about the fight last night.”
“When will you be free again?” Mizu asks curiously, wanting to be in your presence again as soon as she could.
You smiled, stepping back down to take her hands in your own. “There’s a lake out in the woods if you remember.” You remind her, and her mind wanders to all the trips you’d take there as kids. “If you meet me here tomorrow we can go there. Like old times.”
“Like old times,” Mizu nodded, repeating your words before gently grabbing your face in one hand, planting one more kiss on your lips. “See you then.”

Hello, dear author! I couldn't help but binge read all your Mizu works (they are amazing, please keep writing, they actually make me sooo happy) and also couldn't help the idea that suddenly came to my mind, so I hope It's okay to share this! I would be even more happy if you made it into a little fic 🥺
Since Mizu has huge trauma from being betrayed and left alone to fight those who comes after her, what would be her reaction to a reader who literally almost jumped down from a cliff just to get to Mizu and protect her? Like reader might be warrior, a bow user or simply uses a katana but that aint gonna stop reader from protecting their wife with their life! 😠
.... Unlike a once certain husband 😑
pairing: mizu x fem!reader
warning(s): swearing, mentions of suicide
a/n: mizu is just so confused by nice people, I can’t help but giggle 🤭 and of course it’s okay to share!! share as much as you’d like! I’d like to think we’re a safe little community here. at least, god I hope so
summary: you jump off the cliff after your wife, managing to scale your way down somewhat safely. afterwards, she scolds you for almost throwing your life away.
word count: 360 words / 1,916 characters 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“MIZU!”
you shriek, your voice shrill as you dash to the edge of the cliff. your breathing was heavy, gazing down at mizu.
cornered by the four fangs, she was. 
fuck—fuck!
she had a wound, still healing on her shoulder from her adventure at shindo dojo. if they hit her just right..
of course you had faith in your wife. she was strong, stronger than you had ever thought she could be—but.. risking her life because you had “faith” in her, was not something you were willing to do.
you glanced around, your eyes landing on two pieces of a broken katana. you could assume it was one of the four fangs swords, but that didn’t matter— you didn’t give a shit who it belonged to. you needed to get down to your wife.
you grabbed the pieces in your hands, peering over the edge of the cliff again. you turned around.
and jumped.
you could feel yourself falling, but just in time, you plunged the broken pieces into the side of the mountain.
you caught yourself, just barley, beginning to scale your way down the rest of the mountain to meet your wife.
she was staring at you. a bit starstruck, she looked, but her expression quickly devolved to anger. 
“what in hell are you thinking?” she grumbled, glancing you up and down—your hands were bloody from the sharp parts of the swords. “that was a fucking suicide attempt.”
“I’m coming to help you!” you yelp, your eyes pleading. “It is you and me, mizu. you’re— you’re not by yourself anymore.”
she stared at you for a moment, her heart pounding in her chest. yes, you were married— but the last time she had been married.. she wasn’t sure he ever actually cared for her. truly.
and now here you were, throwing yourself off the slide of a cliff.
for.. her.
you loved her. so very much.
all she could hear was the sound of her heart thumping in her ears, but she quickly shook it off.
she grasped your hand for a moment, nodding to you as she squeezed it.
It was you and her; against the world.

If there was a journalist tasked with studying the daily life of Mizu Nanase, they would quickly lose interest and beg their boss for a different job.
At least, that’s what Mizu believes would happen.
If you were to ask the blue-eyed Tokyo resident, she would tell you that her life was as far from interesting as it can get; she had few friends, rarely went out at night, and kept a strict workout regimen. While other 24-year-old women in the city would be out clubbing and meeting men, Mizu was in bed by nine o’clock and woke just before dawn every day to go for her daily run before work. She was an average salary-woman with an average office job, working her average nine-to-five shift before heading straight home to the two-bedroom apartment she shared with her roommate, a sweet college student named Kinuyo. To any outside perspective, this life seemed lonely, and it was, but Mizu wouldn’t admit it. She had spent many years convincing herself that she could find comfort and contentment in solitude, to keep a minimal life and focus on maintaining what she had in the current time instead of trying to cultivate relationships that would ultimately fall apart. 
This mindset was more than understandable for someone who had the track record of relationships that she did.
It was an average Friday night for the blue-eyed woman when it happened. She had been thoughtlessly switching through television channels, dressed in lounge pants with a convenience store beer in her other hand, when she felt the vibration of her phone from where it sat on the couch cushion beside her. Mizu paused her channel-surfing on some Western history documentary before glancing down at the lit-up screen. It was a notification from Instagram, a social media app Mizu really didn’t use but kept at the insistence of her friend Akemi. The pop-up itself wasn’t to indicate a new message or a new post from one of the few accounts she followed, but one of those “you might know this person” messages. Mizu had been getting those more often than direct messages, which spoke volumes to how reclusive she was to the friends she did have rather than the friends she could have. Deciding to humor the app’s algorithm, Mizu picked up her phone and tapped on the notification, allowing the app to open itself. She was expecting this potential acquaintance to be one of Akemi’s exes or even one of the handful of childhood peers who tormented her in middle school, now acting like self-made entrepreneurs or social media models.
But the person Instagram actually did recommend was a shock that was almost enough to make her drop her beer.
The account being displayed on Mizu’s phone screen was that of a blonde Asian woman. Her profile picture was that of what Mizu clocked as the Golden Gate Bridge in California, a key sign that all but confirmed her assumption on the woman. It wasn’t until she scanned the first three photos on the account that her conviction became even stronger. 
Blonde hair.
Upturned brown eyes.
A beauty mark just under the left corner of her bottom lip.
Oh, and the name on the account?
Kane Akiyama.
Mizu practically shot herself out of her seat, haphazardly placing her beer on the coffee table, before beginning to pace the room, now scrolling through the rest of the photos on Kane’s account. For an account with less than 500 followers, Kane did seem to post frequently; selfies, candid shots of wherever she was, food pics, group snapshots of her family, even a video here and there of her playing the guitar. With every post Mizu went through, the more and more the feeling of her heart pounding in her throat made her want to vomit or cry or both.
It was her.
It was her Kane.
The last time Mizu Fowler and Kane Akiyama saw each other was a hot August evening. The two girls, barely thirteen at the time, had spent the entire day together, doing anything and everything under the blazing sun. But at that moment, the sun was descending, an indication that their day of fun was coming to a close. But of course, that day was the best and worst day of that summer, as Mizu recollected how Kane cried the entire walk back to their neighborhood. A month prior to that day, Kane had broken the news to Mizu that her family would be moving overseas to America due to her mother getting a job transfer, a piece of news that seemed to break Mizu’s heart in an instant. So that prominent day was the last day the two friends would ever see each other again. After that day, Mizu spent the rest of the summer locked away in her room, refusing to go out or see any of her other friends. She went on to attend high school, something that became so much harder without her best friend to be there at her side. She was ridiculed for her mixed race heritage, shoved into walls and being subjected to desk graffiti and thermoses being emptied on her. It was a miracle she made it to graduation. Maybe she was holding onto the hope that she would one day be reunited with Kane?
Well, it sure seemed like it now.
A feeling of hesitance came over Mizu as her thumb hovered over the ‘follow’ button. Should she do it? It would be good to reconnect with someone she once held so dear and close to her heart. Kane was her closest friend for a long time before she moved away. What if America changed her? Well, it had been eleven years since they last saw each other, it would make sense that Kane wasn’t the same from middle school. But how much has America changed her? Did it change her for the worse? Was she a bad person and nothing like the girl Mizu once knew? Did she even want to reconnect? But if she did, how would Mizu know until she reached out?
Suddenly, her phone began to vibrate as an incoming call was displayed on the screen. The familiar face of Akemi took the place of Kane’s Instagram account. Akemi Tokunobu was a girl from a wealthy family back in Mizu’s hometown of Kyoto. The two women met three years prior, through Taigen, an old classmate of Mizu’s who had been pursuing Akemi behind her family’s back. Miu first found Akemi spoiled and arrogant, but over time the two of them became rather close. Akemi was the only other female friend (besides Kinuyo) Mizu has made since Kane left that fateful summer and it wasn’t long into the friendship that the two of them formed a bond closer to sisters than just friends. If there was one person Mizu tried to keep in constant contact with, it was Akemi.
It didn’t take long for Mizu to accept the call and raise the phone to her ear. “Akemi?”
“Hey, Mizu!” The cheery sound of Akemi’s voice came over the speaker. “Look, I know you said you aren’t really a club girl, but there is this one cocktail bar that opened in Kabukicho and I think you’d really like it. I took Taigen last weekend and-”
“I found her.” Mizu blurted out, cutting Akemi off completely.
There was a pause before Akemi spoke again. “I’m sorry, what?”
“I found her.” Mizu repeated. “Kane. My old friend from school.”
“The blonde girl you were in love with?”
Mizu’s face turned an instant red at the question. “She was my friend, Akemi.”
“Yes, your friend that you pinned for pathetically.”
“Akemi.”
“Sorry, sorry. So you found her. Is she in town or…?”
“No, I found her Instagram account. The app suggested it to me, believe it or not.”
“Huh.”
“What do you mean, ‘huh’?”
“Well, maybe Instagram realized that you have literally no social life and decided to reconnect you with the last person you were happiest with?”
Now Mizu’s face had to be the color of a cherry. “Are you bullying me?”
“Oh, absolutely. We haven’t talked for a hot minute so I have to make up for lost time.”
“Real funny, Akemi.”
“I try my best.”
Mizu let out a groan of frustration. “Anyways, I found her account. Should I follow her?”
“Do you not want to follow her?”
“I mean… I would like to reconnect with her.”
“Okay, so follow her and send her a message.”
“Wouldn’t that be too much?”
“....you just said you wanted to reconnect with her.”
“Yes, I do.”
“How else would you be able to reconnect with her, Mizu?”
Mizu paused, thinking for a few moments. “I… I think I still have her mother’s email address.”
“You have her mom’s email? My god, are you twenty-four or fifty-four? Who sends emails anymore?”
“Okay, okay!” Mizu exclaimed. “I won’t send her mom an email. I should send her a message?”
“Yes, and make sure you tell her who you are and that you want to reconnect. Nothing too lengthy, just short and to the point.”
“Alright.”
“And I know you don’t use Instagram, so if she wants to reconnect, make sure to give her a social media account you do use. Or at least your username on WhatsApp.”
“Yeah, alright. Okay, I can do that.”
“Okay, cool. So, I take it you don’t want to go out tonight?”
“Not really, no.”
“Well, while I’m still in town, do you want to at least get something to eat near your place?”
“Yeah… Yeah, that would be fine.”
“Wonderful. I’ll be at your building in ten minutes. Please don’t come down in your pajamas this time, okay?”
Mizu huffed. “It’s just dinner between friends, Kemi.”
“Yes, but it’s dinner with me. You need to be presentable in case anyone sees me and snaps a picture. Don’t need to have any dating speculations between us.”
“Right, you already have enough of those with Taigen.”
“Very funny, Mizu. I’ll see you in a bit.”
“Yeah, sounds good. Bye.”
As soon as the call ended, the sight of Kane’s Instagram account returned on screen. Once again, Mizu found herself hesitating. Akemi was right, though. How else was she supposed to reconnect with someone if she didn’t reach out to them? And if Kane didn’t want to reconnect, she would ignore the message or simply say so. There was no harm in this.
And so, after taking a deep breath to center her nerves, Mizu tapped the ‘follow’ button.
She then tapped the ‘message’ button and, after a few minutes of typing and deleting and typing again, she came up with a good enough sounding message;
Hello Kane. You may not remember me, but I am Mizu Fowler. We went to middle school together and were best friends for a while before you moved to America. I came across your account thanks to Instagram’s suggestion and I thought it would be great if we reconnected. If you do not wish to, I completely understand. I hope that you are healthy and happy, wherever you are. 
After rereading it a couple of times, Mizu finally tapped the arrow button, sending the message. She then immediately locked her phone and placed it on the kitchen counter so she could start getting ready for her dinner plans with Akemi. It was another seven minutes before the phone vibrated, this time with a message displayed on the screen:
Holy shit.

girls girls girls - blue eyed samurai
Tumblr media
pairing: mizu x f!oc
warning(s): okay there's no smut, but mentions of sex and prostitution in relation to madam Kaji's girls
tropes: sort of annoyances to lovers, first kiss, sort of canon compliant, sort of canon divergent
a/n: she/her mizu by the way, and also this takes place during the... 2-3 episode I think??? idk, I don't exactly remember I was staring at mizu the entire time. ALSO THE TITLE IS A FLETCHER SONG, GO LISTEN!!!!!
summary: mio, an estranged princess by marriage, finds herself traveling with a feisty samurai and her apprentice. when they find themselves among a brothel, mio takes the chance to ask some… questions.
word count: 2,171 words / 11, 869 characters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mio waded through the crowd of people. she was wearing a pink/red kimono, the traditional look of a japanese woman. her hair was done up, gold pins stuck through it. though the bottom of her kimono was in rags, torn to shreds from running so fast. after mizu and ringo, that was. they'd found her in her desperate time of need. a high lady, she was. not a princess, no, but she was married off to be one. her husband-to-be was an abusive prick. and when she decided to run, she ran into mizu and ringo. they'd (thankfully) taken her with them. despite miss's pleas against it, ringo had broken her down, somehow, and she'd annoyingly agreed. "you do know you're going to a brothel," mio raised an eyebrow, her pretty red lips parting a bit as she walked beside the weary samurai. "I know where I'm going, princess," it was almost as mizu meant the word as an insult. a jab. a prick. a stab. though it didn't seem to wound her. "did you think I didn't?" she said in that raspy voice, looking at mio beside her through her round, tinted glasses. "do not put words in my mouth," mio narrowed her dark, deep brown eyes. her eyes were like pools of darkness, that held many a secrets behind their beauty. "I never said that. I would only think . . ." mio looked mizu up and down, "that you would not go inside a brothel to receive their services." "and you would find yourself right," she hisses, the corner of her mouth twitching as they stepped inside the brothel. mizu did not bother to hold the door for her, making mio stop in her tracks. . . . not that she expected it, mizu was a difficult person. mio pulled the door open herself, holding it for ringo to step inside. after he did, he thanked her kindly, smiling brightly. mio nodded, stepping inside. "I wish to speak with madam kaji," when mio heard those words, her body stiffened. the man whom mizu was speaking to seemed unimpressed by her aggressive nature, her tone. "madam kaji's clients make appointments before they come barging into her brothel, demanding her services," he scoffed, his arms folded over his chest. his sleeves rolled up slightly as he did so. "I am not here for her services," mizu eyes were narrowed to slits, as they always were. no change there. "I said I wish to speak with her. is that so damn hard?" "it happens to be," he rolled his eyes. "if you wish to wait for the madam, than you may. I suggest you take part in the services to.. hold you over." mizu rolled her eyes, pushing past the man at the front. mio offered him a smile and a kind apology, following her confidants inside. around her, there were many women, many men. most were stripped naked, providing what they were payed to do. pleasure. prostitutes, the men would call them. they were honest women providing honest work. mizu had settled in the corner of the brothel, on the floor. her back was against the wall, one leg propped up, the other stretched out. her right hand was rested on the floor, her other draped over her knee. mio settled down against the wall. not next to mizu, no, just near. she folded her legs, sitting with them crossed. a kettle and a few cups sat on a small table. the kettle had steam bubbling from the tip. "why don't the two of you drink," mio delicately grabbed one of the cups. the cups were not deep, yet they were wide, round. she poured some of the sake into one of the cups, passing it to ringo. he happily excepted her offer. "and you." mio eyed mizu, pouring another cup of sake. when she attempted to hand the cup off to her, she denied, putting her hand up. mio shrugged, "we will be here for a while, mizu," mio murmured, taking a sip of her sake. "madam kaji does not take her clients lightly, you should know this, if you know anything of her. it will most likely be hours before you can speak with her." "I am aware of this," mizu hisses. "and I can wait, princess. unless you can't?" "no, I can wait," mio murmurs, locking eyes with mizu for a moment. its quiet, as they look at one another. tension so thick you could probably slice through it perfectly.
"ringo,” mizu let her gaze now rest on her apprentice, sat a few feet in front of her. her expression did not shift, did not change. she gently titled her head back, leaning it against what looked to be a wooden door frame. “you could go and look around. In fact, you should.”
mizu's words were firm, as they always were. but they seemed to have… a different meaning behind them. that was probably just mio's mind running in circles though.
“oh- um, sure, master.” ringo collected himself to his feet. he glanced between mio and mizu before making his way out of the brothel. 
“hmph,” mizu let out a little sigh.
“he’s a good apprentice, you know,” mio murmured, her eyes drifting back to mizu's figure. “he respects you. you can tell.”
“I suppose he is,” mizu muttered, her voice trailing off. she seemed to have thoughts swarming her mind.
“something on your mind, mizu?” mio arched an eyebrow, raising her cup to her mouth. she gently parted her painted red lips to allow the sake to come through.
“nothing of your concern,” mizu narrowed her eyes again.
“hm,” mio hummed, allowing her muscles to relax against the wall. “you should drink, mizu, I’m not sure when the last time I saw you do so.”
“why does it concern you,” mizu let her eyebrows press together in an aggressive expression. “princess?”
mio simply ignored her hostility. she hadn’t been with them for long, but she'd gotten used to mizu's demeanor quick.
“because I don’t want you to die, is that so bad?” mio sighed. she took the kettle in her delicate hands once more, pouring yet another cup of sake. “drink.”
mizu gazed the woman up and down, from her torn kimono to the golden pins stuck through her hair. she slowly reached over, her hand steady yet twitching. she let the cup slide into her hand, gently brushing mio's fingers with hers.
mizu looked hesitant to drink the sake placed in her hands.
“I didn’t poison you, mizu,” mio muttered, glancing over at her. though she seemed a bit flustered from the sudden touch. “If that’s what you're thinking.”
“I wasn’t,” in an instant, as if to show her confidence, she raised the cup to her lips. 
mio couldn’t hold back a gentle, breathy laugh, “you're something,” she whispered, almost too quiet for mizu to hear. mio couldn’t help herself; her eyes traveling up and down mizu's figure. it was nice to look at, sure. strong legs to a pretty face, even prettier under those orange tinted glasses. people thought those blue eyes of hers made her a demon. 
mio thought they were gorgeous. 
“you're doing the thing again,” mizu hissed, her voice coarse and raspy.
“what thing?” mio questioned, taking another sip of her sake. she very well knew what she had been doing, and that she'd been——wait, did she say again?
“the staring, the eyes,” mizu seemed unimpressed yet mio could see a hint of fluster under that “disgusted” expression. 
“is a woman such as myself not allowed to look at the handsome sight in front of me?” mio questioned, her gaze firm yet gentle on mizu's eyes.
“enough,” mizu placed her hand up, telling mio to back down. 
mio was not letting a slim, rare chance slip through her fingertips like flowing water.
“you're obviously flustered,” mio murmured.
“drop it, mio,” she let her gaze drop onto mio's face, her expression cold and colorless. 
“tell me, mizu,” mio mustered up every bit of courage she might have just to ask one, silly question. “have you ever kissed a woman?”
mizu froze at the question, her entire body stiffening, “do you think I’d just offer answers about myself to you?”
“it was a simple question,” mio narrowed her eyes a bit. “and If you're not flustered, as you say you are, there should be no problem answering it—should there?”
mio's words were almost like a challenge, to the samurai. 
and she knew mizu was not one to back down form a challenge.
“fine,” she conceded. “no. I haven’t. is that the answer you were looking for, princess?”
mio looked to be satisfied with herself, “that'll do, yes.”
“now,” mizu's expression shifted a little, to one that was a bit playful, a bit smug, if that were a way to describe it. “how about you, princess?”
“hm- oh, I- it was a question for you, not for me-“
“I answered one,” mizu countered. “why not you?”
mio stared at her for a moment. she would play into this little game they were playing, if it lead to what she wanted, “fine, okay,” mio folded. “I have not, either. only my prick of a husband. and, may I add, that was not very good.”
mizu scoffed, “I wouldn’t think it was,” she mumbled.
“one last question for you, mizu,” mio let her eyes meet the samurai’s once more. she managed to muster up every prick of confidence in her body again; taking a deep breath before speaking again, “would you kiss me?”
mizu’s entire body stopped, looking like a statue of a samurai pressed against the wall. surprise twinkled in her eyes before she adverted her gaze, not bothering to look at mio.
“that’s completely out of line, mio,” that was the first thing she said— because, of course it was. “no. no.”
mio’s heart shattered when she heard that one little two letter word.
no.
“oh- I- um,” mio’s voice was barley audible. that little spark that she had, that little confidence, it seemed to die, just at that word. “th-then, erm, forget it. forget what I said, I- wasn’t really serious, anyway.”
mio wasn’t completely serious.
she just wanted to protect herself from getting hurt.
mio was gathering herself to her feet, picking up the shredded kimono that danced along the wood ground. “I.. think.. I-I’m gonna go.”
maybe she could just stay with madam kaji. not that she wanted to leave mizu, or ringo, for that matter, traveling with them when she had gone and done all this . . .
mizu didn’t say a word to her. she was just quickly gathering herself to her feet, turning on her heels to grab mio’s small, soft hand.
mio’s pale face flushed pink. mizu pulled her a little closer, just to allow her arm to relax. her thumb, the skin coarse, rubbed against mio’s palm.
“I never said I wanted you to go,” the samurai murmured, for once her voice was warm, her expression shifting to something.. soft. something she’d never seen from a warrior such as mizu. her gaze flickered from mio’s hand to her dark eyes, “did I?”
“you . . did not.” mio adverted her eyes. not that she didn’t want to look at the pretty sight in front of her; she was just too embarrassed to do so.
“so then,” mizu’s voice was quiet and gentle, flowing like honey. “why are you leaving, princess?” the grip she had on mio’s hand was pulling her closer, and by the time she had the chance to speak again, she was pressed again mizu’s chest. 
mio’s mind was reading a million miles a minute, her heat pounding like a freight train against the tracks. 
“so . .” mio fully pressed herself against mizu’s chest, able to feel all of the tight, tense muscles inside. “that was not your true answer to my question?”
mizu lent down, her lips inches from mio’s. they were parted slightly, ready to speak to the girl once more.
“indeed it wasn’t,” mizu murmured, her eyes flickering to mio’s lips. her free hand slunk under mio’s chin, tilting it up slightly, “may I?”
mio gave a slow, steady nod. 
mizu closed the gap, taking in a sharp breath when their lips pressed together. her hands snaked into mio’s hair, removing the gold pins that were holding it in its updo. her black locks fell on her shoulders, cascading down her back like free ocean waves. mizu ran her fingers through the now free locks.
“now,” mizu murmured, still holding the back of mio’s head, her fingertips gently caressing her hair. “was that up to the princesses standards?”
“considering I didn’t believe I was going to get one in the first place,” mio laughed, fiddling with the strands of midnight hair that now fell on her shoulders. “it was wonderful I’d say.”
“hmm. well, good. I have the feeling you’ll be getting a lot more.”
