Chapter 3 - Brave Shine / SAO
How can I destroy my weakness? ‘Cause I wanna be stronger
I need to keep them all safe, but I lack the power
If we learn to wield our flaws, then the future will be ours
Dancing, 4 DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS, singing, etiquette, vocabulary, tea ceremonies, body language, Sakura was really getting annoyed at those classes, even if she has always been a ridiculously good student and a pretty fast learner, some of those were still really difficult, especially the ones that needed her to be graceful, she was definitely not a graceful person.
She had a plan, a plan that’d get her out of that hellhole, it would take long, but it was a plan nonetheless, she couldn't wait for Konoha to show up and save her while doing nothing about it. She was the only new girl in a while, but Sakura never backed down from a fight, yet it did make her life there harder than it already was. Some of the girls there were nice, others… Not so much. She wasn’t sure if her plan would work, but it’d HAVE to, there was no other choice, no other way out. The device on her ankle was activated automatically if she reached a certain perimeter outside, so no sneaking off, which meant the OBVIOUS path, was out of question. The madam also had a way to activate that damned thing with her mind, Sakura had absolutely no idea how, so attacking her face to face was a dead end, and there were absolutely no weapons to attack her from far away, as a surprise attack, the kitchen knives were locked away ever since she arrived, and she never found anything else she could precisely aim with, and even then she still held a feeling deep inside her heart that killing madam Iwasaki wouldn’t free her.
“Failing another class again?” And that was Chocolate, one of the girls that worked on the Moonlight Rose with her was utterly annoying, she was the top geisha in the house, so that made her pretty much untouchable, they couldn’t allow the biggest money maker to have an injury. “Huh, Dahlia?” She always walked with the same duo, Coral Sand and Diamond. Chocolate was a medium sized young woman, both weight and height wise, with long, shiny black hair, her eyes were so black they reminded Sakura of a hellebore, a poisonous flower that was rarely found colored black. Coral was a skinny girl, with brown eyes and reddish dyed hair, while Diamond had locks so blonde they could be confused with white under the right lights, they were the trouble whore trio, as Sakura called them, they liked to bully pretty much every other girl that earned less than them, which would be... Every other girl.
Yes, Dahlia, another name. One of the rules to work on a geisha house was to never use your real name… Even though Azalea was a fake name too.
“Actually, Amethyst-sama, Dahlia is almost ready to begin working, we’re on our way to make her painting so we can add her to the geisha book” - Tsunemomo, the woman that first greeted her, answered in defense of the pink haired girl. “We’re expecting her to be a big hit, since she’s so exotic.” The fake smile she had on her face was priceless.
“Only if by exotic you mean ugly” Coral pretended to whisper, just loud enough for they to listen.
“Well, if you’ll excuse us” The Haruno put on the best smile she could manage. “I’m on a tight schedule today! It was nice seeing you girls, it’s hard to find you around the house since most of the time you’re all busy fucking some fat man.”
“At least we have clients” Chocolate raised her voice, her face red with anger. “ And I get most of the hot VIP ones too, right girls?”
The duo next to her nodded in agreement.
“That’s such a nice thing to be proud of! Good luck with your “hot” clients today, Chocolate!” And with that, Sakura proudly walked away. She didn’t want to cause too much trouble in that house, drawing unnecessary fights would only make leaving harder, but she couldn’t help giving those kids some slap-in-the-face answers every now and then.
They dressed Sakura on the prettiest kimono she’s ever worn, it was green, the same tone as her eyes, with some white, pink and red flowers embroidery, her hair was still too short to make any elaborate hairstyle, but long enough to a make two beautiful braids, creating creating two small buns in the end. As they painted her picture on a small piece of paper, Tsunemomo explained why that was necessary.
“We keep a book, at the entrance of the house, in which we update every half a year… So that new customers, or old ones that want to meet other, or new girls can decide which one they like most, so we paint them wearing the prettiest clothes and smiles, to make them extra beautiful so that they don’t decide to go for another house” She sighed. “The 1st time, virgin, and the ones requested the most, cost more, and they usually get more requests too since they come from recommendations, and whoever gets top 1 that month, gets an extra fee based on how much money they made, which is why it’s so important to always do your best.”
Sakura, or Dahlia, just kept smiling at the artist, eyes lost into the abyss of her mind, she was scared, she was truly terrified. How would the young girl keep her virtue? Would her plan work? What if she gets chosen by a ninja, what if someone realizes what she plans to do…
Sakura was a romantic.
If it’s not the man of my life… Then I don’t want it, I won’t accept any men but Sasuke.
--x--
The night came, her picture was officially in the roster, today the house was hosting a party for the best paying VIP customers, VVIPs?… Sakura's job was to serve tea and play the shamisen whenever no one else was available. She was wearing a light pink kimono, with white sakura flowers detailing the bottom part and the end of her sleeves, her hair in the same style as her first picture, her face was completely white from the rice powder, her cheeks as pink as her shiny hair.
No one will ask for you today, don’t worry forehead - Inner kept repeating, over and over and over, trying to make them believe it was true while she quietly danced to the choreography the other girls taught her that morning, all the men were talking to each other, drinking tons of sake and groping most of the geishas next to them, laughing their asses out, Sakura was doing her best not to trip with those high heeled uncomfortable wooden shoes, or even worse, hit another geisha and ruin it even more.
There were around 15 men at the party, most of them extremely nasty to look at, but there was one, just one, sitting down next to a rather handsome red haired gentleman, yet even him couldn’t compare to the one that made her knees turn softer by the minute, she could feel his gaze on her, she could feel it burn every part of her body when she spinned around to the beat of the choreography, all her blood had already rushed to her head when the music stopped. She tried to walk out of there gracefully, but the nervousness made her trip and she almost fell face flat into the ground. Some of the men laughed, others didn’t care, others were too drunk to even notice she existed, “Chocolate surely noticed” Sakura thought for a second before getting interrupted.
“Dahlia! Come back here!” Tsunemomo ran after the pink haired girl, completely out of breath. “I have awesome news!”
Sakura froze right then and there.
She knew it.
She could sense it.
“Even though three of the men asked for you, one of them is paying double the normal fare to actually guarantee you’ll be with him, isn’t that awesome?! I heard he’s really handsome, too! c’mon, let’s get you ready! It’s a blessing to get such a man for your first job, you know?” The older woman was completely filled with happiness. “You got asked for so quicky, I’m so proud of you!” She screamed, crushing the pink haired maiden in a bear hug. “Aren’t you excited?”
The old lady became her first and biggest friend in the house, they took care of each other, Momo taught her everything she could, helped practice her dance and improve her singing, tended to the wounds her fingers had whenever she messed up one of the instruments.
“Of course, Momo-Senpai” She lied, with the fake smile she’d perfected during the eight months she spent studying for today.
She wanted to die right there and then.
She wasn’t mentally prepared yet, Sakura thought she was, but now realized she was far, FAR, from it, she’d never be ready for it.
“C’mon, you’re getting the best room in the house!” Momo jumped from happiness and for a second, Sakura wished she could feel that way too,
--x--
Her whole make up was removed and replaced for a lighter one, her undergarments were now lighter and revealing, her kimono simpler and less layered, “It’s so it’ll be easier to take off!”, explained Momo, with her never fading smile.
Sakura now stood in front of the big door that led to the room the room she now hated the most in the whole world. As her heart beat a thousand times per minute, she knocked, and once a soft “come in” answered, she opened the door. The room was simple but beautiful, another set of big doors led to a garden, now lit up by the light of the stars, shining so bright that night.
“You look prettier like this, without all the ceremonial makeup” A deep voice came from the corner of the room.
For a minute, the pink haired kunoichi forgot how to speak, it was the man that made her knees fail with just one look, and now from close up she was starting to realize why, he looked exactly like her Sasuke, but at the same time he was completely different. His eyes were colored like pure onyx, she could feel it drilling a hole in her soul, the creases under his eyes showed he was probably extremely sleep deprived, his hair straight and as black as the night sky tied into a low ponytail, he dressed well, it showed that he took perfect care of his body, but it was his aura,that damn aura that affected her so badly, he had that same intimidating energy Sasuke had, combined with the stunningly similar looks, they probably stole the beauty from 30 other people EACH before being born.
“You’re not going to tell me your name?” He smiled sweetly.
“Dahlia” She tried to move, but failed.
He walked closer, but she was completely frozen, her eyes glued to his, now with his face extremely close to hers, his face lowered next to her ear just to whisper in a sexy, hoarse voice “Maybe offer me a glass of water?”.
Instantly jumping back to try and get herself back together, the pink haired girl muttered “Yes, Yes, i’ll go fetch it right now, I’m so sorry for being impolite”, and rushed out of the room as fast as she could. For a second she had to sit next to the door, she couldn’t believe what was happening to her, was it luck or not? Well, she wouldn’t call anything here luck, because if she really were lucky, she wouldn’t be there at all.
As soon as she arrived at the kitchen that stupid voice reached her ears, “Water, really?” Chocolate showed up behind her, with a kimono so messed up you could clearly see one of her nipples. “Is that how you plan on winning over that handsome piece of meat?”
“He’s not a piece of meat, Chocolate, he’s a man.” Sakura grinned, extremely pissed off.
“You know, the easiest way to attach a man to you… is through your body” She winked, as she walked past Sakura, feeling something cold run down her arms. “Whoops!” And suddenly my kimono was half purple.
“ You BITCH!” Was the only thing the ninja could say before she left the kitchen.
--x--
Sakura took one deep breath, now wearing a clean kimono and bringing two glasses of water along.
After two knocks she opened the door just to find a really special surprise, the man who paid for her was sitting on the garden bench, with chocolate on his lap.
“Should I come back later, sir?” The kunoichi whispered, face red of complete shock.
“Oh please Dah--” The man interrupted Chocolate in the middle of her sentence.
“Of course not, Dahlia, I was just telling this beautiful lady that I asked specifically for you”
The expression on Chocolates face was PRICELESS. She stood up, and quickly walked to the door, but leaving a last poisonous remark before taking her leave “When you need someone to really take care of your desires… Just call for my name at the door, I’ll come straight to you”
“Thank you but… I don't really enjoy used goods”
Sakura couldn’t hold back the laughter after Chocolate left, EXTREMELY frustrated.
“It’s good to see you smile, it’s beautiful”
“Thank you, sir. But… What should I call you? I don’t even know your name yet”
He let out a small smirk when he pat the bench beside him, signaling for Sakura to sit beside him.
“You haven’t earned the right to know my name yet, would you like to try and guess it?”
“I’m afraid I’m not too good at guessing games, sir” She finally sat down.
“I’ll trade a letter for a kiss” His hand touched her cheeks, one finger slowly ran through her lips. Sakura didn’t know what to answer, again that man left her speechless.
With a giggle, he grabbed one of the water glasses from the girls lap and took a small sip “Am I that ugly, Pinky?”
Freaked out, the girl muttered, “Of course not! And I’d like to ask you to please not call me--” And his lips were on hers. Just a gentle, simple kiss. After a few seconds she closed her eyes, as his hand slowly caressed her face. Their lips didn’t move, it was just that small, meaningful encounter. It was Sakura’s first kiss, she wanted it to be with Sasuke, she REALLY wanted it, but that man had such an effect on her… She didn’t really feel bad about it. For some reason, it felt right.
Suddenly he backed off “ You can call me Ta-Chan, how about it? You’ll earn the rest of it as we go” He whispered against her lips, forehead to forehead.
Sakura smiled, glad the first men she met in this place was actually nice and sweet. “I look forward to deserve the rest”
That’s when she blushed completely, realizing what she had just said.
“Don’t worry, Dahlia” He pressed his lips against hers once more, and backed off just as quickly. “That’s all I’m stealing from you tonight”.
