Hanamaru was trembling and shaking; whimpering when Dia yanked harder, causing Hanamaru to almost trip on her knees.
"Oh no!" Hanamaru closed her eyes shut, releasing a squeal before she opened her eyelids and meeting Dia's furious gaze. She involuntarily stifled, shivering compulsively in contrast to the steady pounding of her beating heart. "Please don't punish me again, anything but that!"

Dia reached near Hanamaru's terrified expression, swiping the tears off her eyes and bringing her hand to her lips, inspecting her finger before prodding her tongue out from her lips, and dragged her wet tongue across her fingers; moaning at the taste of Hanamaru. Dia snaked her fingers under the frightened tanuki, caressing her face as she leaned forward, cupping her cheeks in her hands; smirking wildly. "Hmph, but I'm not out of ideas yet. Get on your knees." Dia barked, clicking her tongue.
