A Day in the Life of a Jealous Girl

You don't remember what day it is. These days kind of string together, if you're being frank with yourself. One day could be the same as any other. Distantly, you vaguely recall that humans had been talking about the Meiji Emperor restoring order to islands, but that had been the human world. That had been recent memory, and you'd left all of that behind. Nobody ever visited the shrine anymore and it had been getting painful to be around them. You'd wanted to destroy them all by now.

Maybe Yukari'd had a point. It was time for all of you to go away. Somewhere safe. Safe for you. Safe for them. Sealed by the Barrier.

So, here you were, on a bridge. They'd had the decency to make it look like the one in your hometown. A little bit of home, like Uji, one had said. You'd almost appreciated the gesture, but now nobody came. The bridge was meaningless after all. Nobody had business in hell from above. souls were going to the New Hell the Yama had made. The youkai were already down here and Yukari'd said they weren't supposed to go upstairs really. Everyone obeyed her, because she was scary as fucking hell. So now, the only time anyone ever came by was if Yuugi was drunk and bored, or that spider decided to visit.

You watched from behind your shrine. The youkai were all having fun. There was that bucket girl. That blasted bucket. All she could do was drop down and scare people before she tied to eat them. What was so god-damned special about her? But people were talking to her, chatting away. Random phantoms that hadn't left and youkai were drinking, partying and chatting in the markets, and they were ignoring you. Avoiding you, distancing themselves.

Every day it got worse. You wanted to talk to them, but why would they want to talk to you? None of them were breaking up, after all. They were all so god-damned fucking happy all the time. It made your blood boil, green lights starting to spill out, as youkai began to notice and just sort of edged away from the bridge. Nobody ever came to the bridge...

Right up until a hand slapped you on the shoulder. It sent you sprawling and you heard a laugh. Yuugi was laughing down at you, grabbing you by the scruff of your neck and hauling you up. You could smell the booze on her lips. But it wasn't like other people getting drunk. You didn't want sober oni. They got mad. Drunk, she didn't give two shits how jealous you made her. She ruffled your hair and laughed. "You're being a pill again. Stop paying attention to them. Sit, have a drink."

"you're not going to take no for an answer are you?" You can already see it in the way she's grinning. "Fine. Whatever. It'll get you out of my hair."

You're grateful. You might be jealous of her, but you're not alone for a moment...
