Chapter 4: Naraku

11:31 AM (Japan Time), Saturday November the 3rd…

O~w… My head aches… That damned Mu device…! Where the hell am I, anyway?

"… Tee, heh, heh. All's ready."

"So. Your precious Master won't come to watch?"

"He's got no interest."

"Whatever. Let's get this show in the road."

Shit. I know what's going on.

Subaru slowly began to wake up only to realize that he couldn't see anything but he heard the voices of Kanaya (giggling), Kurayami (addressing Shinobi with suspicion) and Shinobi (who was shrugging): he inwardly grumbled.

A turf they came up with somewhere…! And they're going to torture me using S&M…! Like what happened to Gino – kun and Tsukasa – kun back in the Wizard City Tournament…! But I'm not afraid! If they could make it through sane then I can. Your plot is futile.

Subaru realized that he had a black wool blindfold covering his eyes and that they'd put a plastic ball-gag over his mouth.

And this stupid leather thing…

He felt some strange bands of leather around his body: they began around the beginning of his legs and across the hips of his back until they joined an overall band around the waist: another set of bands were tied to cover Subaru's cock completely and completely circled around his sack: two bands were placed parallel above each other close to the base of the cock.

This pain on my nipples…! Metallic cups…?

He also had two small metallic cups connected by a chain clipped on his nipples.

And what I'm sitting in… The infamous "horse"…

The surface he was seated in had a triangular form and was made of wood with an upper metallic edge: he could feel two thick plastic vibrators with dots on their surface plunging into his ass.

His hands were tied by the wrists and two sets of ropes circled his torso above and below the nipples: he also had ropes tying his legs open over and below the knees: two metallic cuffs kept his ankles immobile.

"Let's put the plug on!"

Subaru felt how someone (Kanaya, judging from the voice) stuffed a set of small plastic beads set inside of a column into his urethra: she then placed a bell-shaped vibrator over his cock's head and strapped it there with cello-tape.

"And these eggs too!" Kurayami chuckled.

Kurayami placed 4 egg-shaped vibrators above and below the cups clipped on his nipples.

"Tee, heh, heh. You look so fitting like that, Hoshikawa… Men reduced to powerlessness… The vengeance of the left side of Nature started 2 centuries ago and it's slowly spreading… Tee, heh, heh."

It's not my problem that all across History men have looked down on women and reduced them to inferior status. I never look down on any woman or girl. You try to use pointless mottoes to justify your actions but you're just a mere sadist.

"Vibrators: on! Max speed! Let the struggle begin!"

"Heh, heh, heh…" Shinobi chuckled.

All of the vibrators came on and Subaru involuntarily arched backwards from the sudden feeling: the ones in his ass began to spin clockwise and anti-clockwise respectively.

"And now you get this!"

SMACK!

Ugh! She's hitting my rear with some wooden object!

"Tee, heh, heh. But the fun isn't on having you ride the horse: that's just the heating up! Once the horse is done we'll get to fuck ya all over again: that's the main dish, see~!"

You're mad.

SMACK!

Ugh! It hurts! And my penis is bulging already! Ugh! But I'll be strong and I won't yield to these villains! At all! Heck, Tsukasa – kun went through worse because he was abducted by a Choina mafia man and kept prisoner for a year and a half in which he was tortured! But he made it through…! Well, he actually had to rely on Hikaru to take in all of that but… That doesn't change that he made it through!

"Stubborn type, eh? Maybe ya won't be so much once we start fucking ya in a foursome. Tee, heh, heh. You'll get used to the feeling of a strap-on up your ass, yeah! As Hibiki will one day… But when that time comes I'll leave it up to Queen Tia – senpai~… She will know how to handle the thing in an efficient and calm manner, see~…!"

Heck. And they plan on giving Queen Tia – sensei the tools or means to achieve her caprice. As if this wasn't enough trouble.

"That reminds me! I found a song back when our trip into the 21st century which I found fitting for us. I'll play it as background! The name is "I am a Collector"… Music!"

Collector? Of what? Of prisoners?

"… I'm not someone's King. I'm not someone's Soldier. Like piercing together a shattered mirror, I gather the pieces of a broken world. I am a Collector! I am a Collector! Collector!"

"For those out there… The voice is a fella named Takeshi Kanaga! He portrayed a fella named Gelardan in Pocket Monsters The Movie, Mirage Pokémon: Lugia, Explosive Birth! Yay! Check it out!"

I dunno what she means. Guess that's 21st century stuff.

"By the way: did ya meet your ancestor, Hoshikawa~?"

Ancestor? Is that some joke?

"You know the fellow you met, Hikari Netto, right?"

So you met them. Well. No surprise. You did admit to it and they did admit to it.

"It turns out that there's a fellow named Hoshikawa in his school's B – Class which is known to be a quiet type and rather lonely… Doesn't that look like how cha were?" She giggled.

Ironies of life, I guess. And I'm surprised that my family name already existed about 200 years ago.

"… I won't let go of tomorrow, I won't bury yesterday. Like notes lined up in a musical score, I realign tattered bits of time. I am a Collector! I am a Collector! Collector!"

Collector of WHAT? Or the point is that the song is ambiguous and you must see the film to see what he collects?

"Tee, heh, heh. Another lil bit… I'll let ya go off and then ZAP! When ya wake up the foursome will be about to begin. Tee, heh, heh. I hadn't such excitement ever since July. Tee, heh, heh."

"I'm watching you." Kurayami warned Shinobi.

"So? Have I done something weird?"

"Not yet. But don't think you'll catch me with the guard down. I've got Viruses lurking here ready to assist us if you try to pull something on us, get it?" Kurayami warned next.

"Fine." He seemed to shrug.

"But that Clock Man guy was a failure, really~… He was a lolicon from the start to the end! A pervert! Luckily enough he had no notion of "sex" so he'd just stared at them for hours on end trying to exploit their beauty: you and Rock Man EXE sure did us a favor by beating the guy up: it's no good to mess with Time-Space~!"

No surprise that you know that: Shinobi must've told you.

"Don't blame me." Shinobi warned as if predicting what they were going to say next.

"Of course not. Can't say it's a bad idea but you never know: maybe some vital character would cease to exist too as a side-effect: maybe a descendant in the 22nd century who set the basis for Denpa technology would vanish and thus there'd be no Denpa technology now."

"Hum. Good point. I'll admit it. I'm afraid Hyde – sama gets obsessed with a idea and doesn't study it carefully enough." Shinobi muttered.

"… You may look… at this sublime light. You may listen… to this heavenly melody. I will not be bound to the earth… I will not look down from the sky…"

Ugh! Does that mean that this guy lives in the sky or what?

"… I want to embrace the dreams trapped in this prism… That is my… Collection! Collection! Collection!"

"And that's end, cutie~…"

If you were thinking of pissing me off with nicknames then give it up: you're lame at those.

"By the way! Hibiki needs to become "Plenty". Plenty O'Toole."

I fail to see the point unless it's another sexist joke.

"Man. That joke was lame." Kurayami muttered.

"Dunno." Shinobi shrugged.

"Well! It's about the time. Tee, heh, heh."

Oh heck. Now comes the worse part!

Kanaya suddenly loosened the cock bands and took out the beads and vibrator at the same time: Subaru gasped and released in several spurts which stained his body: he then felt an electrical jolt on the back of his neck and he lost consciousness…

11:52 AM (Japan Time)…

"… Wakey, wakey~!"

BLOF!

Ugh! Someone kicked my balls…! Huh!

Subaru woke up to find that he was sitting on the ground on his knees: he felt a cock inside of his ass which belonged to someone lying face-up on the ground which had a mattress on it: he then felt a strap-on sliding inside from behind and a right hand pulling the chain of his nipples' cups to inflict him pain.

Heck. I'm sure the guy stuffing it into me is Kurayami to begin with: Kanaya is coming from behind. And I suspect what Shinobi will do in the meanwhile. I hope the others find me soon: I don't fear for my sanity but I fear that I won't be able to control this anger.

"Here, Hoshikawa~… Suck it up!"

His head was gripped from above and Subaru caught on that he had a metallic ring set in his mouth which forced it open: Shinobi stuffed his cock inside of his mouth and began to force him to follow his pace: Subaru felt how the nipples' vibrators were assaulting him again and how his balls had several clothes pegs clipped into their skin.

What a bunch of psychotic sadists. And let's not start with Shinobi here who actually killed his father. This guy's mad but at least Hyde controls the guy to some extent.

"Tee, heh, heh. Feeling the despair, Hoshikawa~? If we have enough time then I'll have you taste the column… It's one of the most terrific devices ever invented, I promise you!" Kanaya announced.

Shit. Is there no end to this madness?

"No! There's no end! It's the Eternal Naraku! An eternity of suffering and agonizing! Kyah, hah, hah, hah, hah!"

That laughter reminds me of Virgo, alright.

"Heh, heh, heh. You're tight, Hoshikawa! I thought you'd be looser after making out with your lovers, man." Kurayami taunted.

Who knows? Speak for yourself: you bragged that you'd been Kanaya's dominatrix pet for months, even before we found you again in our 1st trip to Planet Omicron.

"Tee, heh, heh. I feel impatient to have this guy experience the column: you two release and swap. Once you're finished with the second round then I'll ZAP the guy and we can have fun with the column."

"OK!"

"Heh, heh, heh. Sounds like fun, alright. Here: swallow!"

"Take it in!"

Both men released and filled Subaru's mouth and ass: Subaru felt how Kanaya gripped his sides and lifted him a bit as Kurayami took his cock out of him and got to his feet: Shinobi replaced him and Kanaya lowered him straight into the hardened cock which slid inside with violence: Subaru inwardly groaned but then Kurayami gripped his head and stuffed the head of his cock on his mouth.

"Heh, heh, heh. Cleanse it!"

You rascal: you'll be back in jail before you can count 5 days!

The earlier cycle repeated: once he'd finished cleansing Kurayami's cock head then he gripped the back of Subaru's head with both hands and quickly moved his head up and down along the length of his cock: Kanaya kept on pulling the chain and Subaru inwardly groaned.

"Almost there." Kurayami reported.

"Heh, heh, heh. You'll end up wishing we'd fucked you more like this instead of being sentenced to the column!"

Heck. I'm starting to feel tired: using Tabuu's power demands a lot of energy in exchange. And I feel the fear creeping in as well but I won't yield!

Both men released again and he was zapped on the back of the neck…

11:58 AM (Japan Time)…

"… Tee, heh, heh. Ready to suffer like never before, Hoshikawa~? This thing is double effective in women: when senpai places Hibiki here she'll be able to break her and turn her into a sex addict!"

Ugh… I don't believe any of those boasts. I'll protect Misora – chan no matter what it takes! Boast while you can! And what's this column thing about, anyway?

Subaru woke up again and tried to ignore Kanaya's boasting: he gathered that he was sitting on his knees and his back was tied to a cold metallic cylindrical column: he didn't feel anything odd.

"Let's get it started! And while you suffer, I'll teach you how to cleanse a strap-on, see~…"

Shit.

Subaru suddenly heard a soft mechanical humming sound before two vibrators which were already spinning began to pump in and out of his ass at a maddening speed: he inwardly groaned as he felt how Kanaya stuffed the strap-on lubricated with semen on his mouth.

D-devil! This thing has a piston which is continuously pumping into you at a set pace and it never tires out! They weren't kidding: this thing can drive you mad alright! But I gotta hold on!

"Heh, heh, heh. It fits you, Hoshikawa~… That struggling and agonizing form… How the mighty have fallen!"

Tell that to your petty Master.

"Heh! This is more than enough payback for what happened in the 2nd Battle of Omicron." Kurayami sneered.

What can you expect from an enemy born from a Mu experiment which resulted in a program of "Dark" capable of copying the shape of other Denpa Bodies? It then evolved in personality and perception and decided it was better off being my antithesis. Blood isn't my antithesis. He was supposed to imitate me back when "Operation: Independence"…

CRASH!

"Found you, scum."

"Fuck. Burai!"

"By all the…"

"No way!"

Burai! Guess the others told you what was going on: and since you're from Mu then maybe you could "sniff" these two villains.

"Go, Laplace!"

"Gruh! Shotgun…!" Kurayami began.

"Slow." Burai drily announced.

"Ugruck!"

"Shit. Pain Bun…!" Shinobi tried next.

"Slow."

"Grah! It bounced off a column and hit me from behind!" Shinobi cursed aloud.

"Sheesh! Take a step closer I cut this guy's neck!" Kanaya cursed as Subaru felt the tip of a knife on his neck's skin.

"I object."

"Wha! Where did the guy warp to? Behind? Gatling…!"

"Slow."

BLOF! THUD! CRASH!

"Fuck! You sunnuva…!" She cursed.

"And what if?" He didn't seem to give a cent for it.

"Sheesh! Whatever! We had enough of our fill! Let's flee, you lot!"

"Che! I'll remember this, Burai~!"

"Let's just move out! Next time we'll have a strategy at hand!" Kurayami cursed as running rang out.

"Hmpf. Rats, the lot of them… Huh! Quick. Let's undo this!" Burai fumed before gasping.

He undid the bands tying Subaru's cock and took out the beads and vibrator: Subaru groaned and released in several spurts before stopping and panting: he felt how Burai took out the blindfold and he needed to blink for a while before getting used to the dim lighting: he felt Burai quickly cutting the ropes and lifting him out of the device: he was seated in the cold stone ground and leant on a wooden column: he heard Burai kicking the machine to the ground and then smacking it with the Laplace Blade several times in a row.

"Akatsuki? I found him. Yeah. He seems to be in one piece, luckily enough… You did well on contacting me. Those two dogs can't hide their "Mu scent" from Laplace so easily." He reported.

"I owe you one." Acid Ace sighed in relief.

"Hmpf… Don't mind that. I've got a score to settle with those defectives, anyway." He shrugged.

"I'm 2 minutes away. We'll pick him and bring him to the HQ. Dr. Lartes should run a check just in case."

Subaru coughed and seemed to be shivering: Burai then glanced at a hole he'd made when entering and grumbled under his breath as if knowing what was going on: he searched around and a found a blanket tossed in a corner of the dimly lit room which he placed over Subaru: he looked absent and sluggish.

"Hoshikawa. Can you hear me?" He asked.

"Y-yeah… I feel… exhausted… I need to… nap…"

"Fine. Take a rest: we'll bring you to the Subspace HQ." Burai calmly nodded in agreement.

Subaru barely had time to nod when he suddenly fainted…

13:43 PM (Japan Time)…

"… Ugh… No more…! Grah…! You cowards!"

"Subaru? Calm down. It's me."

"M-Master…"

"In the end I decided to bring you to my mansion: I thought the environment would help relax."

"Kazimura Mansion… Been a while…"

"Sure. Omega did some cleansing. Boss decided to switch him back to joker mode because he looked like he was about to tear down all houses' doors to find the fleeing lot."

"B-B-B-B-Bertie~! I found a new seagull nest! They're flying to meet the sky-gulls!"

"Not with the seagulls again… Heh… Heh, heh, heh… Ah, the nostalgia!"

"Nostalgia? Heh. Guess so."

Subaru woke up on a bed inside of a wood-made room which had this bed, a brown wood desk, a chair, an adjacent bathroom and a window: the door was on the north wall close to the NW corner and the window was opposite it: the bed was left of the door.

"Yeah… The time I spent here as "Kazimura Albert" when "Operation: Independence"… I can still remember it… It was an adventure within the walls of this house, alright." He smiled.

Dr. Lartes was sitting in the chair which he'd placed next to the bed: Omega's voice had rang out earlier along with the scream of seagulls: there was the sound of him rushing up the stairs and he came in with a grin on his face and having a seagull nest on his hands.

"Ta-dan!"

"Omega. Put that back where it was. Don't be cruel to the seagulls."

"I'm being cruel to the earth-gulls."

"Patent those for some RPG game."

"Sure~! Iinchou will buy me one to replace Mode~!"

He laughed and rushed out while Subaru rolled his eyes yet he seemed to picture the scenario.

"Mwah, hah, hah! Rolling rocking crushing terrors! BRAINSSS!" War Rock laughed close by.

"When those two get along then you can expect madness."

"Sure. And I wouldn't be surprised if Shirogane – san got a fit and decided to do that, either."

Subaru's Hunter – VG (placed atop the desk) began to ring so Dr. Lartes picked it up and activated the screen: a display of Luna's face showed up along with the word "PHONE" atop it: he pressed a button and it patched to show Luna.

"Subaru – kun! Where did you go off to?"

"Huh… I didn't feel well so I came over to Kazimura Mansion to rest for a bit… What happened?"

"Gonta ran off in a VERY suspicious manner!"

"How do you know that?"

"Kizamaro saw him rush out, transform, and go!"

"Maybe he went to buy food at Shiisaa Island?"

"Ah! That could be! The Fatman! Eluding my diet again!"

"If you impose it as a punishment then I doubt it'll have much effect to begin with, Shirogane – san."

"Ah! S- Subaru – kun's family medic, was it?" She gasped when she realized there was someone else there.

"Yes. Kazimura Lartes."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"A diet must be done with the intention of achieving it: not as something imposed by someone else. In short: it feels like it's something you can't really abide since it is informal scolding."

"Ah! Hum. Well…" She trailed off.

"I saw it coming." Mode sighed.

"Why didn't cha tell me, Mode?"

"I tried. You played deaf."

"Ki~h!"

"No good." Dr. Lartes sighed.

"Green tea! I need some green tea! By my might!"

The call got abruptly cut and Subaru sighed along with Dr. Lartes upon seeing Luna's behavior.

"Doc! The Doctrine of Doc is ready~!"

"Save the lame puns for the mirror, Omega."

"Sure! Mirror, mirror! Who's the ugliest guy on Earth? Ushijima!"

"Oh come on."

"Mwah, hah, hah, hah! Subari~! Bertie~ wants to come outta the cupboard, ya see~!"

"Albert wasn't a split personality! It was my "self" without memories of the past! End of the tale, Rock!"

"And start of the 36 bells of doom!"

"That joke's running old. I still feel tired. Go do that somewhere, in the basement, for example." Subaru groaned and clasped his forehead with the right hand.

"You heard him! To the basement you go!"

"Roger! Let's go, Rock!"

"Ou! Let's go, my fella~!"

They heard Omega rushing up the stairs and there was a ping followed by a hum: Subaru frowned.

"Weird. It didn't make any noise back then."

"Hmmm… Maybe the sound-insulating inner covering has worn out with time… It's been two years, after all. It may need replacing." Dr. Lartes guessed.

DING DONG

"Who could it be? I'll go check." Dr. Lartes wondered when he heard someone ring the door-bell.

He looked out from the window after he'd stood up and then brought out his own Hunter – VG: he inputted a command and one of the front doors opened: Subaru heard someone climbing up the stairs and Misora came into the room while Dr. Lartes smiled at her and left, closing the door on the way out: Misora sat down on the chair.

"Subaru – kun… Are you alright?"

"Yeah. I am, Misora – chan. I'm strong."

"You went through that… for my sake… again."

"Again?" He frowned.

"Don't you remember? When Ice went berserk and froze the stage I was at, conducting my live…"

"Ah! You mean that I plunged into danger for your sake… Well… Isn't it obvious? You're my friend and my "Brother", Misora – chan. I wouldn't have come this far if I didn't protect my friends."

"I know. But nevertheless…"

"Well. But Misora – chan did her best to find me during "Operation: Independence", didn't she?"

"True. Yet… I can't shake off this feeling of guilt."

"Sorry to interrupt you but I got bad news. Queen Tia was approached by Kanaya and given the ability to Denpa – Henkan again. She's fled and we're trying to get a hold on her yet she found a way to elude being registered by the Satella Police." Dr. Lartes suddenly rushed in, sighing, and looking worried.

"Heck. As if it wasn't enough."

"We lowered the guard." Misora sighed.

"Indeed."

"Guess I'll have to walk with lead feet."

"Yes. You can't predict how Queen Tia will act. Or maybe she hopes to win by placing pressure on you."

"That would fit with her character, too. Heck. As if bearing with her threat wasn't enough, now this…" Misora rolled her eyes.

"Maybe we can provide you with a shield or barrier strong enough to block or bounce back one or two strikes and give you the chance to get to safer ground? I don't think she'll jump into the open in places with witnesses… Maybe she hopes to wait for a place and moment…"

"If only Jack could take some sense into her…!" Subaru groaned.

"Rest, Subaru. Take the day off today. Tomorrow you'll be fresh enough to attend classes." Dr. Lartes ordered.

"Yes, Master…!"

"Hmmm… Maybe I can request of Blood Shadow to provide backup in case I were to end up in a tight spot…" She suggested.

"Good. I'll talk it with Boss: we need to prepare a strategy. And the sooner the better, truly."

"Yes, Master… Heck. What a November!"

The group of three sighed in defeat, overwhelmed.

We need to put stop to those mad ones out there or else…! Shit!
