The tall, 18-year-old man with gorgeous blue eyes and slick brown hair began accelerating and was walking briskly with longer strides than before, as if excited about something, but that excitement was not shown on his poker face. Being dragged by the collar, Rin trotted to keep up. She was struggling too much to keep pace with her new master to read his face. The fact that he was not saying anything did not help at all. She thought to herself, "He seemed cold at first but sounded quite gentle, perhaps I could ask him to slow down?"
Just as Rin was pondering on how to speak her mind and whether it would backfire on her, she tripped over rather spectacularly. The man pulling her was surprised as the length of the leash slipped out of his hand. He spun back, quickly flipped her onto her back and took her into his arms, on his face was an expression of concern. He was not actually concerned for her, he just wanted to prevent escape. He inquired softly, "You're not hurt, are you?" Spellbound by his beautiful gaze, she found words stuck in her throat, so she shook her head instead. "Then get on your feet and hurry up, don't waste time trying anything funny," he snapped her out of her sweet daydream with a cold utterance. This time she suddenly found courage in her to talk back, "Why would I try anything funny? I asked to be bought by you!" His expression turned somewhat grouchy in response, and he said, "If you have the energy to yell at me then you must be ready to go." He sprang back onto his feet and yanked lightly on the leash, no matter how angry he was, he would not want to break her neck.
She struggled onto her feet, but felt sharp pain on both knees. The pain was so paralysing that she could not even walk one step. The man stared at her intensely, no hint of emotion was shown on his face. Rin felt distrust radiating from him, but she was in too much pain to say anything. He closed the distance without warning all of a sudden, she closed her eyes to prepare for punishment. Her old master never punished her, but she was taught that there would always be a possibility of being punished. Rin thought, "He looked very displeased, what is he going to do to me?"
While preparing for the worst, she felt to her surprise that she was lifted off the ground and cradled like a baby. "Eh?" It was all she could utter at a time like this. Her face grew red in an instant, but the one carrying her did not even look down to see the phenomenon. She wondered why her new master was in such a hurry, all she could tell from his face was that he was somewhat annoyed.
...
The bathroom had sliding doors opened to reveal the floral scenery in its vibrant colours. It was dead silence, not a bird in hearing range. "Wh-What are you doing?" Rin's voice broke the silence. "Why are you so surprised? Don't tell me you've never been bought before," the man's eyes widened for a second and then returned to normal as he commented coolly, his hands rudely continued to strip her bare.
"I-I am not that kind of..." Rin's protesting voice weakened and faded away, even as dense as she was, she could predict his reply. "Can't I do whatever I want to you? You're mine after all," he growled possessively. Even though she knew he was saying it in a master-slave sense, she still found her cheeks heating up. To her sudden realisation, she was stark naked in front of him. She shyly crossed her legs and covered her boobs with her hands, her eyes squeezed shut out of embarassment. "Nooo! Please don't look!" She cried out.
Instead of reaching out to grab Rin anywhere, he was just watching with an expression of amusement. After a while, she still did not feel anyone or anything make contact with her skin, she opened her eyes slowly and discovered to her surprise that her new master had his back turned to her. He began chanting and then wrote a kanji in the air. The tub was magically filled with water.
"Whoooooaaaaaaa..." Rin could not resist the urge to take a closer look. However, the man warned sternly, "Stay back, it's dangerous." It was as if he truly cared for her, she felt a sweet throbbing in her heart and sat down to watch him, forgetting the fact that she was wearing absolutely nothing. He chanted another spell and wrote a different kanji, the water slowly begins to warm up. Then he turned to face her. His eyes were already wandering all over her body. Then, she remembered her nudity and screamed. But before she could cover herself up again like the previous time he caught her hands and shoved one of his legs in between hers, he immediately pushed her against the wall. He growled with a grouchy face, "You're way too noisy, you know that, don't you?" "I'll be quiet," Rin answered meekly. "Why are you covering your body? It doesn't look so bad to me," he said. She noticed the teasing tone in his voice and a subtle upward curl of his lips. Then her cheeks heated up again when he was staring at her even more intensely than before. His slowly-approaching face sent her flying into yet another panick, but she tried her best to suppress a scream. Instead she asked, her voice trembling, "M-Master?" His face stopped just before their lips would make contact, he asked, "Will you promise not to hide your body from me?" She gulped while feeling the weight of the promise, or rather its consequences. His eyes narrowed to indicate loss of patience. "W-Wait... I-I won't hide anything from you any more, I promise!" She made an unexpected declaration a bit too loudly. "Sheesh... Pipe down... That's not what I was asking for... But since you've said it, don't go back on your word, alright?" His response sounded like a mixture of annoyance and satisfaction. He let go of her hands and pulled back the leg that was between hers. She instinctively closed her legs once nothing was in the way.
"Who gave you permission to close your legs?" Rin cringed at the sound of his voice. "But... But..." She could not muster up enough courage to say it was a natural response for her. "Forgive me, Master," she gave up without a fight. "Then why are your legs still closed?" He asked, not a hint of emotion shown on his face. "But I am not covering it, why does Master need them opened?" "Because I didn't say you could close them. And what are you not covering?" Rin blushed like a tomato from that question and found herself silenced.
"Oh, and by the way, my name is Azusa, you can add the suffix behind it," he announced as he put more distance between them. "Yes, Azusa-sama," she gave a perfect answer. He closed the distance again and she was just about to panick once again, but then... "That's a good girl," he said, petting her hair with a soft smile on his face, she inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.
