3rd Point Of View

(Y/n) took each step through the north wing with pure awe written across her features. The north wing, Sukuna's side of the temple, was a mixture between gold and white marble, with embellished gems on the walls that made this side of the temple look like a whole different building. This was (Y/n)'s first time in the north wing and honestly, she thought it her first time would have been because her curiousity had gotten the best of her, not because the Lord himself had summoned her into his bathing room.

(Y/n) found it hard to keep up with Uraume who was currently leading her to the baths, as she tended to slow her steps when her eyes landed on something new and interesting. You can imagine her disappointment when the two had actually reached the baths and she could no longer oogle at everything she passed.

Lord Sukuna's bathing room was double the size of the one belonging to the staff, white tiled with the bath literally taking up almost the entire room, leaving little space to walk around the sides of the bath in order to clean or get to the hot stones at the back of the room. Uraume left the bathing room once (Y/n) had walked in, leaving the doors open after walking out.

Lord Sukuna had his back turned towards (Y/n), with his back against the edge of the pool, his arms resting across the rims. He didn't even turn to face her, not acknowledge her arrival.
"My Lord, Uraume has informed me that you have summoned me. Is there anything I can help you with?" (Y/n) asked him softly, standing directly behind him so that she wouldn't lay eyes upon his nude body without his permission.

"Yes. Since you've rendered all my workers useless and have put me off all my whores, it's up to you to bathe me." Sukuna replied casually, not even turning to look at her as he spoke. (Y/n)'s eyes couldn't help but widen. Did she hear him correctly? He wanted her to bathe him? As in wash his body?
"M-me?" (Y/n) stuttered out, making Sukuna scoff as he trurned his head to finally look at her, his red eyes boring into hers.

"Do you see anyone else in here other than you?" Sukuna then asked the young girl sarcastically, making her gulp loudly as she shook her head.
"No, my Lord." She whispered in admittance, Sukuna now turning his head away from her again and leaning further back into the tiled edge, the heated water rippling around him.
"Get to it then." Sukuna demanded, snapping the girl out of her daze.

She hurried over to the side of the pool where the bathing salts and cleaning rags that were meant for cleanliness. The girl hadn't seen anyone use something as expensive as bathing salts since working for an embasador of China. (Y/n) shook her head to herself in order to get herself to to stop thinking about that man, forcing herself to get back to the task at hand. The girl grabbed all that she needed before walking over to Sukuna and placing each item on the floor behind him.

(Y/n) then sat down cross-legged behind the lord and dipped the small plastic bucket into the water beside him before placing it full beside her legs. She drizzled some salt into the water before dipping the sponge in and then gently began massaging it into the man's shoulders, hesitancy in her eyes that the Lord couldn't see but definitely feel due to her cursed technique.

(Y/n) spent the next few minutes  washing down the Lord's upper back and shoulders, pretending not to notice how he tensed everytime she lifted and put down the sponged, as if he hadn't ever been washed like this before. Once (Y/n) deemed his shoulders clean, she wet her hands into the bath water before massaging the Lord's shoulders tentatively, the way she also used to do to the embasador.

(Y/n) clenched her eyes shut tightly when she caught herself thinking about him again, forcing herself to open then and stare at the nape of Sukuna's neck. That's right. It was Lord Sukuna infront of her, not him. When she began paying more attention to the Lord's back, digging the pads of her thumbs around his muscles, she noticed the way he leaned into her touch as if he was enjoying it. That made the girl beam with pride, feeling even better about herself when the lord sighed with content.
