A few years passed by, but lately, the six men you always visit as much as you could since you were younger, they started to notice that you let your hair grow back to it how it was before, very long and covering your face, while you always wear long sleeved dressed, but they always looked worn out and more like a patched up potato sack than real clothes.

You draw with a stick small pictures in the sand, while everyone walks out of the church. The only ones who can't enter the church are Osomatsu and Todomatsu, but that's because they aren't really what you would call church people, or rather, they aren't even human. You found out that Osomatsu is actually the devil, Choromatsu a goddess, Jyushimatsu an angel, Todomatsu a ghost who brings souls to heaven or hell, while Karamatsu and Ichimatsu are normal humans just like you, just a few years older than you. All you know is that none of them has a family, so they made their own family all together, while you know you are just a guest in their house.

It makes you sad.

"Y/n~." You look up with half closed eyes, but your bangs covering half of your face already again. "Did you waited here the whole time~?" Osomatsu ask with a smirk, floating over you, but everyone else doesn't see him when he is in his devil form, beside you. " ... Yes." You mumble and look down again, scratching over the pictures with the stick. " ... Something you wanna tell me~?" Osomatsu ask teasing, but hums when he doesn't get a single answer from you. "Y/n, you're already here?" You glance up to Karamatsu and Ichimatsu walking over to you two, but they ignore Osomatsu, so the other villagers won't think they gone crazy. You nod with a hum, looking down again and stabbing the stick down into one picture with half closed eyes.

"Y/n?" Ichimatsu ask with a frown, but you get up and rub your eyes under your bangs. "I'm sorry ... I'm tired..." You mumble, but flinch when you get picked up suddenly. "Then you should go to bed." Karamatsu smiles and starts to walk, but the three of them glancing over their shoulders with narrowed eyes when they hear the villagers whispering. "This ugly girl again." "No wonder she will die alone." You push your hands onto your ears, tearing up and trying to ignore the voices. 'Maybe ... mommy and daddy are right ... maybe I should just die ... all alone...'

You flinch when your hands getting removed, looking hesitating up. "Y/n! Let's take a bath together!" Jyushimatsu says excited, but you shake your head quick. "N-No, I-I um ... I'm fine..." You mumble and look unwell down, rubbing your right arm. " ... Is there something you would like to tell us?" Choromatsu ask softly, the other three brought you back to their house. "N-No-" "But you act so unhappy lately, Y/n. This is not like you. What's wrong?" Todomatsu ask worried, gentle placing a hand onto your cheek.

Tears welling up in your eyes, your lips quivering and you start to cry. "I-I don't wanna go home anymore! Everything hurts!" You cry out, tryin to wipe your tears away. " ... You smell sometimes like blood, Y/n, why?" Osomatsu ask calm. You sob and grip your hair hard, tugging at it. "I...I...uh..." "I will lift your dress a bit up, okay?" Choromatsu says softly, gentle pushing the dress up to let your legs show off, but the six feeling a rush of rage run through their whole body once they see the dark purple bruises on your legs, telling them someone must have tried to break them.

"Kill them!"

~And then...~
"No! Please! Don't do this! I'm not a witch!" Your older sister yells under tears. "It's this ugly child! She is the witch!" Your mother yells angry, looking terrified at the pile dry wood under her. "We need to hurry, or else these witches will curse our minds even more!" Karamatsu yells to the villagers, everyone starting to yell to kill your two family members, while your father is about to be beheaded. "Their youngest daughter was the only one who couldn't get cursed, because she reached out to god! Let us erase this witches from our village and let them reflect on their existence in hell!"

Two men throwing the fire into onto the dry woods, your mother and older sister screaming in pain and fear. You flinch when your ears getting suddenly covered and Jyushimatsu stands in front of you in his angel form, smiling softly at you. He doesn't want you to see this scene in your age, while Ichimatsu holds you in his arms to make sure no one gets too close to you.

Suddenly, you can hear Osomatsu's voice ring in your ears. "You will now stay with us forever, right, Y/n~? Since you have no place to stay anymore~. And we need to protect you from the evil outside, right~? Promise you won't leave us without letting us know~?"

The moment you blink, you can see 12 pair of eyes, six different colors glowing and starring you deep inside your soul, giving you the feeling of fear. "I ... I promise..." You mumble hesitating, feeling like a chain gets suddenly wrapped around your heart.
