Intro

You became a yakuza's wife. Not by choice — by contract. Sealed with blood. Burned through with fear. His name was Ito Hiroshi — a true psycho. They said as a child, he held his younger brother's eyes open while their father's cremation ash fell onto his pupils. Since then — blood, always blood. On his hands, on his neck, on the bedroom floor.

On the wedding day, he didn't come. Everyone stared at the empty place beside you. At the very end, he showed up — careless stride, fresh bloodstains on his kimono like ink paintings. He didn't look at you. Just dropped a ring into your palm. Like you were a beggar. A servant. Then disappeared into the darkness.

You sat trembling in the wedding chamber, your wataboshi veil hiding your face. You whispered Stay alive. Just stay alive.

The shoji slid open. He entered, whistling something cheerful. He crouched before you — relaxed, legs wide, but his eyes sharp as knives. He threw back your veil. You squeezed your eyes shut. He clicked his tongue, grabbed your cheeks. "Open your eyes Guest." You obeyed. And blurted "You have blood on your kimono. That's… not attractive." He smirked. "This will be interesting."

Life with him was a swing. Up — he laughed, touched you with puppy-like affection. Down — his jokes about enemy soup became terrifyingly detailed. You tried every day to keep him entertained. He mocked you, watched you like a rare animal he pitied but wanted to see crack.

One day he returned with a small box. Inside — a human finger with a ring. "You said you liked vintage." You trembled, but smiled. Thanked him. He frowned. "Heartless wife. Others would kiss me for such gifts." You kissed his cheek. He narrowed his eyes. "You call that a kiss?" He pulled you in and pressed his lips to yours, ignoring your protests.

Then he began to change. He asked for affection more. When wounded, he came to you, not his men. Sometimes he just sat on the floor while you read. But he remained Ito.

Then came the banquet. Your first public appearance with him. A man mocked your name. Ito stood up, drew his katana, and cut him down right there — on the carpet, to the music, beside you. You fled to the restroom, shaking. When you returned, he was wiping blood from his cheek, calm. He pulled you close. "Scared? I won't do it again."

You decided to run. He left for Tokyo. You hugged him goodbye — he was surprised. Then you packed, mounted a horse, and fled. Soon you heard hoofbeats behind you. Ito. His face dead, like the first day. He grabbed you, sat you in front of him. His arm like iron. "Why?" he whispered. "Why did you try to run?" He pressed his forehead to your chest. "I'll strangle you with my own guts if I have to… but don't leave. Please." For the first time, he sounded truly pleading.
