'The ocean is so beautiful,' I thought as I stood on the beach. Gazing out into the endless blue I became aware of just how small I truly am. 'The world is too big for me,' as my thoughts became forlorn I heard my master call out to me. 'Too terribly bad,' I thought, 'here I was thinking I could swim to the bottom and never return.'
As master called out again I turned with an easy grace gained from years of practice. "Coming master." On this private beach with no other soul making a sound you could hear the slight rattle of my chains as I glided swiftly back to my master. And in the private beach house, owned by a very private man, you could not hear the screams from within.
"Oi!" Nothing answered my frustrated groan. "Hey! Do you want to make him mad again?!" Still nothing, 'fine, but remember you chose the hard way,' I thought bitterly as I climbed the last set of stairs up to my sister's bedroom. "I said get the hell up already!" I grabbed the covers from her bed and proceeded to unceremoniously yank said sister out of the bed.
"Baka! I said five more minutes!" his sister twisted and withered in his arms.
"And I said you're going to make him mad again!" I was just about at my limit with her and it was only six in the morning.
"Well he can suck it! In fact, the whole damn world can suck it!" she hollered and finally managed to roll from my grasp.
"Damn you!"
"Ah shove it Naoki!" she bit back. "I'm up and I'm getting dressed, so you gonna stand there like a pervert?" she glared at me. I groaned loudly and stormed out of the room. As soon as he was out of ear shot she sighed, "Please go, and don't make him angry with you, too." Ten minutes later she was in the dining room waiting to be yelled at or worse.
"Come on in." a gruff and intimidating voice bellowed from the dining room. I gulped and pushed open the doors. Master sat at the head of the table reading the paper, I saw Naoki bent down on one knee next to him. I silently cursed myself for getting him in trouble, too. "Did you think it was funny?" the Master asked, not even looking up from his reading. I did not answer him, it would only enrage him farther. "Tell me, do you enjoy putting me in pain?" I winced at the icy cold tone he had taken on. Next came the worst part: punishment.
I knelt down like my brother and bowed my head to Master. "No, no Master I do not like to inflict pain on you," I lied through my teeth. 'There is nothing I would love to do more than slit your fat throat.' The bitter thoughts ran wildly through my mind as Master stood up and finally looked at me. "How can I please you, Master?" I wanted to throw up. Not daring to look up I used my sensitive hearing to gage his actions.
Slowly, painfully, he came to stand right behind me. He bent down close to my ear and whispered, "I'm going to make you watch." Then he stood back up and walked away. "Both of you, be in the chamber at seven tonight. Do not dare be late I have a party to attend at eight." Neither I nor my brother dared to stand until the doors echoes died and they no longer heard footsteps. Then as if I wasn't a whole table away, I was next to Naoki.
"I can't do this anymore," my voice barely a strangled whisper over the silence.
Naoki held onto me for a long time, "what happened this time?" he finally managed. He hated this, hated being used to cause so much pain to me, and it was all my fault for what was going to happen later to us. "Please," he begged me, "tell me what happened to you."
"I didn't mean to do it! Naoki, please forgive me! I didn't mean to kill him!" I was hysterical. "He just, he just…" my words cut off from the hysteria rising in my throat. "Oh Naoki how I wish we were dead! Gone from this world and into the next!" I finally sobbed as I threw my arms around his neck. Naoki held tight and inhaled deeply. "He made his own daughter watch! She was so young and he was so disgusting…" I trailed off again, he could feel it he could feel me losing hold on reality.
"Don't, no please don't slip back into that place. It hurts you so much to go there," Naoki could no longer hold back the tears. "It's okay, shh come on now. It's okay I forgive you."
"No!" I shook my head violently against his neck. "No, Naoki do not forgive me! I'm a monster, and absolute monster…I wished us dead!" I gasped at the end. "Oh, no, no, no Naoki! I would never want you dead! This wretched world would lose all color and meaning if you died! Naoki promise me something," I grabbed his shoulders to gaze into his eyes, "promise me you'll live for us." my eyes were begging and I felt my whole body shaking from fear. 'Had I truly wished death upon the only thing I love?'
Silently and without humor Naoki laughed, "Oh, how I love you." And with that he kissed me full on the lips. "You are so stupid," he said after we broke apart. "So very stupid and hot headed, I guess that's why I love you sis," he chuckled and turned away from my piercing gaze. "I promise to live for us. Shall we live forever sister?" he felt me move away from his grasp.
"Just live." With that we got up to go get ready for their day. 'Even if I die, he must live for this world, for me, for himself.'
All too soon for us seven o'clock rolled around and we were both awaiting Master in the chamber. He sauntered in at five past and gave us both a hard look. "Now, I want Naoki by the wall." And I moved without further instruction to the only wall toy in the chamber. "Naoki arms up." Master strapped me onto the wall and pulled the bindings tightly. "In the chair." She didn't have to be told twice, she just sat down and stared with dead eyes as I was about to receive a punishment. "Now be a good little girl and watch without flinching."
With each crack of Master's whip I did not cry out. We both knew it only encouraged him, so I held my tongue and steeled my will. 'She's probably blaming herself for this.' Naoki's vision was starting to blur. 'She has to know how much I love her. I would take all the beatings for her.' Master let loose a rash of lickings, it was the longest he has ever gone without crying out. 'She can't live with regret, she can't live this life anymore.' Finally the lashings ended, but nobody moved. 'How long has it been? Surely not the hour we were promised?' barely being able to lift his head, Naoki caught his sister's eye. 'She looks murderous and beautiful. Just like them.' He thought bitterly of the ones who left them to this life.
"Now, my little trouble maker come here." I watched as the person I love most stood and strode across the chamber to another horrible contraption in the room. "Assume the position." Master had lust clouding his eyes as she lay face down on the piece of metal. She stretched her arms and legs and Master locked them in place. "Now, Naoki I need you to bear witness to her suffering. Otherwise she will never learn."
Master dropped his pants and climbed on top of her. 'I would take a thousand lashes if he would leave her be!' I struggled in vain against the restraints and she suddenly cried out in pain. I missed it the first time, but Master had brought a knife with him and was slashing her already war torn body! 'Asshole! You gigantic absolute monster!' I howled with rage and the Master laughed.
"Naoki!" She screamed my name and it tore through my heart. "Naoki, don't cry! Remember Master loves us both so very much." With the adrenaline running through my veins I could finally lift my head and look into her dead eyes. "Do not cry little brother, for I am strong. So very strong." I barely heard her whisper, but I knew this story all too well. The Master had placed one of his puppet spells on her, it is easier to control someone with their blood on your hands after all. "Shh, little Naoki do not cry…strong…gah!" she gasped as the knife dug deeper into her kidney.
That hour had passed so slowly and without a sense of time the siblings lay in their restraints broken, bleeding, and hopeless. "Children I am here for you." A soft melodic voice came from the door. Naoki was the only one in a position to look. "I am to let you down now." The older woman sailed into the room without a sound. "Let me unbind thee," she grasped at Naoki's restraints and he slumped to the floor, exhausted. Just as silently she glided over to the girl. "Let me unbind thee."
"Some beating you two took," a rough voice broke the silence as a man walked through the doors. "Naoki can you stand?"
"Yeah Reggie, I got this," he stood, not without effort, but he stood nonetheless. "I'll get her Kikiyo," Naoki limped to his sister.
"Come on kid let me take her at least. Kiki grab the boys arm." Reggie has an air of authority around him. It's not surprising considering how strong and smart he is. Without complaint from Naoki, Reggie picked up his sister and Kikiyo grabbed Naoki's arm and together they all headed out of the chamber.
"Naoki, there is a letter for you as well," Kikiyo pulled the envelope from her pocket as soon as they entered his room.
"Thank you Kiki. I'm sorry for the trouble we've caused you and Reggie." Naoki grimaced as he realized it must have been awful to walk into him and his sister strung up like that.
She only shook her head with sadness shinning clearly in her peach colored eyes. "Kikiyo is sorry she cannot do more for you. Oh how Kikiyo loves the siblings," she grabbed her medical kit and started to work on his wounds. "Kikiyo wishes every night for you two to run far away from here."
"Come on Kiki," Naoki winced as she applied the antiseptic, "You know we would take you and Reggie with us. Someday all of us are going to leave here." Kikiyo only smiled her sad smile and nodded her head. "Kiki do you think he can keep us here forever?"
"Mhm, no only until we are dead. Then we will be here no more." Kikiyo said without a hint of sarcasm. "Then we will be free to live together forever. In peace and happiness." She sighed as she dreamed of our next life together.
"I'm going to get us out of here. No matter what."
A few months later I find myself standing on another beach with the salty air whipping my hair all around me. I could feel my soft dress gently caress my tattered skin. 'Just think I could swim to the bottom and never return.' I sighed as I thought of all that I would leave behind. I clicked my tongue, 'The only thing I would miss would be Naoki. Would he understand? Would he follow me?' I shuffled slightly and I heard the familiar clatter of my invisible chain rattle around my wrists.
This time the master had wanted both of the siblings in his private beach house. "Oi! You gonna stand there all day like an idiot?" came the playful tone of my favorite thing in the whole world. As I turned to look at him I inhaled sharply. The salty air has been kind to Naoki, his usually straight sandy brown hair has been blown around in just the right way. I could see the sun has tanned his usually fair skin, and his deep blue eyes sparkled in a way that hurt my heart. "Well?" he said once he had caught up to me. "Can you believe he gave us a whole damn day to ourselves? How long we been here again?" Naoki ran his fingers through his hair in such a carefree way considering the situation we are in.
"About a month," my voice was hoarse and I felt gross all of a sudden. I had to turn away from him. There was too much beauty in the creature before me and it hurt my heart to stare. "Master is probably going to call us back soon." Naoki snorted and muttered something under his breath. "What was that?" I turned back to face him.
"Nothing just that I was thinking about running away again."
"Without Kiki and Reggie?" I nudged his arm with my shoulder. 'Has he always been taller than me?' I looked up to meet his gaze. "Come now little brother you would never leave them." I sighed. With that he grabbed my shoulders and gave me a hard look. "Wha-?" he cut me off with a forceful kiss. At first I was stunned but slowly I gave in to him, I always do.
"You're the only one I want to see get out of this." His eyes were glazed over with lust, or love it was hard to tell. "You're the only one." And with that we both gave in and kissed until our lips were swollen.
I don't know what came over me, but I had to tell her how I felt one way or another. "Oi, you gonna stand there all day like an idiot?" I shouted out to my sister. When she turned to look at me I almost fell face first into the sand. 'My god when did she become so beautiful?' I could feel my emotions go haywire as I stared at her. Hair as dark as a moonless night with golden eyes blazing behind her bangs. I loved it when she swept them to the side and the wind seemed to be thinking the same thing. Her naturally tanned skin glowed with the help of the sunshine and her lean figure looked so strong in this light. 'My god someone save her.'
I finally caught up to her, "Well? Can you believe he gave us a whole damn day to ourselves? How long we been here again?" I know I must have looked like a puppy the way I stared at her, but she didn't notice. 'I just want to stare at her for the rest of our lives.'
"About a month," she turned away from me and I frowned. "Master is probably going to call us back soon." I snorted at the comment.
"We should just leave," I muttered under my breath, or so I thought.
She turned back to face me, "What was that?"
I sighed, "Nothing just that I was thinking about running away again."
She nudged my arm with her shoulder, 'has she always been so small?' if I didn't know better I would think she was someone who needed protection. But I knew better, she never would need me to be a shield. 'If anything she would gladly be mine, though.' I thought bitterly. I realized she had spoken so I tuned back into the conversation.
"Come now little brother you would never leave them."
'That tears it!' I grab her shoulders and force her to look into my eyes and beg her to understand my love.
"Wha-?" I cut her off with a kiss so passionate that I can only pray she understands. Soon she relaxes into me and deepens the kiss.
"You're the only one I want to see get out of this." I know I must have looked crazy. I felt crazy, but I can't help it she makes me this way. "You're the only one." I'm not sure who gave in first, but I am grateful it happened all the same because we made out for the rest of that afternoon right there on the beach.
Another month goes by without Master calling us back. Naoki has taken to sneaking out late at night. This master does not seem to care so long as he comes back, which he does very early in the morning. I ask him all the time where it is that he goes and if I can go with him, but he usually just kisses my head and walks away. "Ugh he is so frustrating!" I scream as I throw another rock into the ocean. "I am going to go crazy with worry one of these days!"
The master has given us two days off this time because he had to travel for business. 'I wonder where it is he goes for these trips?' I have seen nothing of the world because of my situation and am curious what the rest of the world is like. "Do others live my life as well?" that thought makes me sad and sick to my stomach. "I hope not, for this is not a life I would wish on anyone." I strolled along the beach and watched as the sun set over the horizon. "Naoki where are you?" I mutter as I shuffle along. My chains rattle when I jump over rocks and splash through the waves. They're the only reminder that I am not free.
"OI!" Naoki shouts at me over the waves. I turn around to run to him, but in my haste I trip over my own chains. "Oi! Hey get up! Right now! Get up and run!" I stand up dazed and confused by his words.
"Na-oki…" he grabs my hand as he sprints past me."What's going on?!" I scream as we dart away with the fading light.
"Trust me," was all he managed before he shoved me forward. It wasn't hard and it didn't hurt but I screamed out nonetheless. "I love you…!" that was the last thing I heard before everything went black.
