60: Bipolar Demon

Ah, fuck.

"You damaged your ankle pretty severely, standing up will only make it worse."

You snap your gaze up at the sudden and silent arrival of Akaza. He was standing at the entrance with a large bamboo basket in his hands.

You know, you never had time to actually look at the demon. All the encounters you had with him were filled with adrenaline and dread.

But now that the pink haired demon is here right in front of you, Akaza...

Akaza is hot.

Insanely hot.

You kind of wanted to yell at him for being that hot. But, he's a demon, so maybe he has a divine right to be that hot. Also, you probably shouldn't yell at demons.

Not like that's ever stopped you before.

You chuck your sock at the demon, but it didn't go far at all. What did you expect? It's a sock.

You quickly reach back and remove your hairpin and point the sharp end at the demon.

"Stay back, slut."

Akaza deadpans: "You really think that will hurt me?"

"Won't know unless I try." You-very threateningly-wave the pin around.

Akaza rolls his eyes before stepping forward. You don't lower the hairpin as he gets closer.

He sets down the basket by your legs in your reach. He crouches down and removes the thin, green fabric on top.

"You're um," Akaza almost sounds embarrassed, "You're on your menstrual cycle."

"My period?" You move the hairpin closer to the demon's cheek, "Yeah, I just started it."

You look down in the big basket and see the type of pads Aoi used to get you, folded silk fabric in pink and white, and a pink towel. There's probably more in there, but that's all you see on the surface right now.

Akaza gently moves your hand from his face to get the pin away.

"There's a lake close by, I'm going to take you there so you can get yourself cleaned up." Akaza says, "Get what you need from the basket."

"Wh... Huh?"

Akaza furrows his eyebrows as he stands, "There's a lake so you can-"

"-Nu-Nu-Nu-No. You-Ju-Wha-I-I don't-I can't-I can't-I don't-" You shake your head, "-You kidnapped me! That's illegal! Trust me, I would know!"

"I don't have time to-wait, what?"

"You can't just kidnap people and expect them to cooperate with you, man!" You scold, "What are you gonna do if I say no?"

"You can't walk," Akaza points out, "I was going to carry you. It doesn't matter if you want to go or not, I'm taking you."

Fuck, okay. Yeah, he's right. It's safer if you just go along with everything right now.

You look down at the basket and put your hairpin down on the ground so you can pull the bamboo basket closer towards you.

"Did you steal all of this?" You ask as you pull out the towel.

"... I did."

"Figured. You radiate Broke Bitch Energy."

Akaza honestly had no idea how to respond to that. So he just didn't.

Under the towel were two bottles: one was colored white, the other was pink. There was a pink soap bar in a white fishnet bag, a light purple rag, and a blue hairbrush.
