Chapter 1
Five days later…
"Undress," she commanded. Her crimson eyes leisurely traveled up the other woman's body and rested on her piercing emerald eyes.
Emerald eyes glared at her in defiance instead of obeying. The crimson eyed woman stood up from her resting position on her bed and briskly yet gracefully walked toward the other. Once she stood before her emerald eyed captive she once again commanded, "Undress now."
The emerald eyed woman still refused to budge, her glare still firmly set in place. The crimson eyed beauties hand rose to languidly run her fingers through her emerald eyed prisoners long raven hair.
"Ara, you are a stubborn one," she seductively whispered in her companion's ear as she smoothly moved her hands to loosely grip the raven haired woman's hips.
"That's fine though," she continued as one of her hands steadily moved up the others form. Her hand lightly slithered from her waist, brushed across her abdomen, and gently groped her nice firm breasts. Before she could continue her actions her hand was abruptly stopped by the raven haired beauty gripping her wrist and growling. Looking at her raven haired captives face she noted her face had an intense blush. She did not know whether it was from embarrassment or anger and frankly she did not care because she found it extremely adorable. Cute or not she could not allow the raven haired young woman to get away with her insolence.
"Ara, naughty Na-tsu-ki," the crimson eyed woman purred. "You do not want to anger me," she said threateningly as she used her free hand to grip Natsuki wrist that held hers hostage. She pressed on a pressure point and forced Natsuki to release her wrist with a startled yelp as she fell to her knees in pain.
"Now undress or you'll be forcibly undressed," she ordered Natsuki all traces of humor gone from her voice. She released Natsuki and allowed her to stand.
Though her wrist still throbbed, Natsuki once again glared defiantly. She was pissed off at not only the crimson eyed beauties attempts to subjugate her, but also the fact that she was able to hurt her, there were few that could hold their own against her alone. She angrily growled "NO" then confidently smirked "Try me."
In response the crimson eyed women brushed her long chestnut hair her behind her ear and sadistically grinned back. "I love a challenge," she then reached towards her dresser.

Present
"Natsuki!" a busty red haired woman called out after her raven haired friends retreating back.
"Get back here, we need to talk," the red head continued. Natsuki paused. The red haired girl ran to catch up to her.
"There is nothing to talk about Mai. It was just a little scuffle," Natsuki growled back, watching her friend struggle to catch her breathe.
"Little scuffle. Little scuffle!" Mai screamed. "You beat the recently crowned chief within an inch of his life, then nearly drowned him by tossing his body in a lake, and you have the nerve to call it a little scuffle!" Mai continued to yell.
"Chief my ass," Natsuki sneered back. "It was only Takeda. Its not as if he earned the right to become chief, he was merely born into that family. He is still the same weak, pathetic guy he was before. Being a chief a month changes nothing!"
"Natsuki, weak or not the village will not continue to overlook your actions against him. Think about it Natsuki. You have no family, are poor, and homeless. The only reason your behavior is tolerated is because he's in love with you. He will eventually get tired of chasing you and that's when they'll be trouble for you. You have to stop!" Mai yelled back, crying in fear of what might happen to her friend because of her outrageous behavior.
"He boasted about his being chief demanding obedience, grabbed me, and tried to kiss me. He's a pervert and had it coming!" Natsuki roared in anger. Ignoring her friends fear and tears, she tightened her satchels grip on her sword and walked away into the woods.
