Author's Note: I am so, so sorry this took as long as it did to come out. I bet a lot of people thought I had abandoned this story or had given up on it. Well, that is one thing that will never happen. I have gotten as far in this story as this; I promised myself I would never abandon this story like so many other stories like this. I owe at least that to the readers. The reason why this took so long to get out was because December was a very busy month for me. It always is, but a lot of extra stuff had to happen like us losing Internet for several days that made it nearly impossible to get any work done. But! I preserved! and I have this nice chapter to show for it!

Think for the next chapter I'll skip a lot of the investigation and just move onto the trial, since aside from Chihiro's involvement the clues aren't too different from how they were in the game. But that means the trial will mostly be the same too...oh well.

Again, I am so sorry with how long this took and I hope that for those of you who are still following this story, that this was a welcome surprise. I hope you all are looking forward to seeing what happens with our favourite girly programmer next.

Chapter 10: Helping the Mistress

Warnings: Breastplay; breast-sucking, quickie

####

"S-Steal Alter-Ego?" I repeated, swallowing nervously. Did I really hear her correctly? She was going to steal Alter-Ego? How? Why? What would happen if I declined her request, or if I told her about the safety precautions Kyoko and I had installed onto it earlier?

"Oh, perhaps I used the wrong phrase. I do not want to actually steal that computer, more like...move it. Make everyone think it was stolen. However, thanks to the safety precautions you and Kyoko-san have taken, I am unable to even gaze upon it without it screaming bloody murder. However...I thought to myself. You are its creator. You are able to move it without it freaking out, and perhaps even disable the safety settings!" Celestia explained to me, still smiling cheerfully.

"And why do I need to do this for you?" I asked, feeling suspicious of her again.

"That is none of your business. Let me sweeten the deal for you." She leaned forward slightly. "Do this for me, and I will allow you to do whatever you want with my breasts,"

I blushed heavily and swallowed again as I gazed down, staring at her small chest. Yes, it was really small. I vastly preferred bustier girls. What a terrible reward! Squeeze the underdeveloped breasts of one of my classmates, as a reward for risking my life and our only method of escape?!

"Is that reward not enticing enough?" Celestia practically purred, squeezing one of her breasts through her clothing. "I thought that would be more-than-enough to get you onto my side,"

Then again...when would I ever get the chance to do this with Celestia, the girl I had a big crush on, again? She was very clearly the one in control of our relationship, and I was getting sick of that. For once, I would be in control of her and touch her breasts...maybe even suck on them! I blushed heavily at the thought.

"...I-I just have t-to keep it from screaming, right?" I asked slowly, and Celestia nodded.

"That is all you need to do," She confirmed, and with a sigh, I agreed and led her to the bathhouse, unlocking the locker Alter-Ego was kept in.

The computer booted up almost instantly when I placed my hands on it, loading up Alter-Ego's usual face, which gasped in surprise when it saw me, about to scream.

Don't sound the alarm! I'm just moving you, I quickly typed to Alter-Ego.

"Hm? But why, Master? What's wrong with my current space?" It asked in confusion.

I glanced back at the door, where Celestia had hidden herself out of view. I could feel her dark red eyes on me, sizing me up, wondering if I would betray her or not. I shivered lightly.

Isn't it getting a bit too small for you? I was going to move you into an even bigger locker, I explained, gently pulling the laptop out of its position. I glanced around the row of lockers, finding one near the bottom that was a lot larger than Alter-Ego's current locker. A key was also placed into the lock; a different key from the one I had currently.

Without saying a word, I bent over and unlocked the locker, thrusting the laptop inside and turning it off, locking the locker and hurrying back over to Celestia, leaving the previous locker open. After all, if it was open, it'd be more convincing that someone tried to steal it, right?

"Good job," Celestia praised, hugging me tightly. I blushed. "Oh, would you also let me hold onto the key? I promise I won't lose it," She asked sweetly, holding out her hand for the key. I very slowly handed it over to her and she slid it into her dress pocket. She then turned on her heel and headed back to her dorm, me following after her.

Why did Celestia ask me to do that? What purpose would moving Alter-Ego and hiding it from the others have aside from seeding even more discourse? Was that what Celestia wanted? It seemed like a very bizarre wish.

She soon stopped in front of her dorm and opened the door, pulling me inside and shutting the door. By now, her dorm was a very familiar sight to me, and nothing seemed to have changed. Celestia took a seat on her bed, pushing up her breasts with her hands.

"As I promised, for your help...you may do whatever you would like to these bosoms," She smiled seductively, and I slowly walked over and sat down in front of her, reaching out for her breasts. I gently placed my hands on them and gave them a gentle squeeze. Celestia nodded her approval and motioned for me to continue.

"Celestia-chan.." I started to protest, but she silenced me with a deep kiss to my lips, pulling away after a few seconds.

"Do not be afraid. You earned this," She smiled at me, and with a determined feeling overtaking me once more, I nodded and squeezed her breasts again, running my hands along the fabric of her dress. I then pushed her tie aside and pulled out her buttons, making her blouse slide open and reveal her lacy black bra.

With a more hesitant touch, I started to squeeze them through the fabric of her bra, making her gasp lightly. "M-Master..." She smiled at me, blushing lightly. Had Celestia ever blushed in the time I had known her...? I wasn't sure. I ran my hands along the length of the lace of the bra, feeling her nipples harden and poke through the fabric.

I then pulled down her bra lightly and allowed her breasts to flop freely; they still were just as small as they looked in her dress. I continued to squeeze and squish them, bouncing them up and down. Celestia's own blush deepened. "Master...!"

What else did girls like to do with their breasts? I thought back to watching Kyoko and Junko masturbate and I blushed lightly, pushing in Celestia's nipples and tracing the outline of her breast. She gasped again.

"Are you only going to touch them?" She managed to tease, looking down at me. "Why not do other things?"

The only other thing I could think of at the moment was to suck them, so after a brief glance around the room, I leaned forward and started to suck her left nipple, squishing and pinching the right nipple. She continued to blush, giving me a teasing smile.

"That is exactly what I was hoping for, Master," She moaned out, rubbing my back gently. I continued to suck her left nipple for a bit until I pulled it from my mouth; starting to do the same to the right nipple. Celestia continued to rub my back as I sucked, smiling down at me. Once I was satisfied, I pulled that nipple from my mouth as well, taking a deep breath.

"Did you enjoy that, Master?" Celestia asked politely, quickly redressing herself. I nodded shyly. "I am so glad you did. You earned it, after all." She then pushed me away and climbed off the bed, leaving her breasts free as she started to pull out her extensions before the doorbell rung.

"W-Who is it...?" I called out nervously. Please don't be one of the boys. Please don't be one of the boys...

"Whoops! Wrong door!" Sayaka's cheerful voice called out before her footsteps ran off; something was slipped under the door. I curiously stood up and picked it up, finding it to be a note written in the same loopy print she signed autographs in. I briefly glanced back at Celestia before I read through the note, finding it to be asking me to come to the bathhouse again.

"Celestia-chan..." I whispered after she redressed herself, hoping she could read my body language. She sighed slightly and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"How bothersome. Another bath? So soon? My skin will wrinkle," She pouted, leading me out of the room.

I balled the paper up as tiny as I could and slipped it down my jacket, swallowing nervously as my heart beat rapidly in my chest. A million possibilities were all racing through my mind at that moment and none of them were good. Had the Mastermind caught us? Had Alter-Ego been stolen for real? Had another student seen me move it? I felt my palms had started to clam up and I wiped them on my sweatpants.

Once Celestia and I arrived, Sayaka gave us a cheerful smile as she stared at Makoto, who nervously cleared his throat.

"You two were the last ones to arrive! Right on time!"

"Right on time?! It's almost time for light's out!" Kiyotaka shot back. "You two kept us waiting for quite a long time!" He pointed his finger right at me, making me flinch. Celestia steadied me.

"You will not raise your voice or intimate Madame Fujisaki like that! Can't you see you're scaring her?!" Hifumi snapped at Kiyotaka in annoyance. I winced again from his description. "See? She's terrified!"

"Everyone seems very tense..." Aoi blinked, worried.

"That is because Alter-Ego has gone missing," Kyoko stated calmly. I almost choked before I felt Celestia's hands on my shoulders. Kyoko glanced at me briefly, so I tried my absolute hardest to feign surprise instead of horror.

"Missing?" Sayaka gasped in horror. "How? Why? Who took it?"

"Probably the Mastermind? After all, you guys weren't being very subtle and junk," Junko huffed, twirling a strand of her hair around on her finger.

"That would have been impossible. Master took extra security measures on Alter-Ego to prevent that from happening." Kyoko continued to stare me down, and I felt myself begin to squirm uncomfortably.

"True. But she's also a computer genius. How do we know she didn't just create a loophole so Alter-Ego would scream for everyone but her?" Byakuya asked.

"Chihiro-chan wouldn't do something like that..!" Makoto announced. "She seems very sweet and trustworthy. And she's around the others a lot, right? Did any of you see her come down here?" The other girls shook their heads, including Celestia.

"Well, if it was not the Mastermind, and not Master, and not one of us...then who?" She questioned herself, getting a thoughtful expression.

"Isn't it obvious? Sir Ishimaru over there got a little bit too lonely and decided to swap my precious Princess Fujisaki! Give her back to me!" Hifumi pointed a finger at Kiyotaka, who pointed his own right back.

"Why would I steal it? I'm the only one around here who is a stickler for the rules! I bet it was you! You missed your girlfriend's companionship!"

"Why would I do that when I have the real Madame Fujisaki?!"

"You just seem like the sort of guy who would be into that sort of thing!"

"J-Just shut up...y-you're giving me a headache..." Touko mumbled under her breath.

"It couldn't have been either one of them. Remember? The alarm? It most certainly would have sounded if either of them tried to take it," Kyoko reminded everyone, staring specifically at me.

"What? Then who took it?" Sayaka asked in concern.

"I am telling you guys, it is that little computer geek over there. Who else but her?" Byakuya smirked.

"As if we'd trust you!" Aoi snapped. "After that stunt you pulled the last trial?!"

"I still think it was the Mastermind. We don't know who they are, right? And they could probably disguise themselves. So maybe they, like, dressed up as one of us..." Junko mentioned offhandedly.

"Well, this was a huge waste of everyone's time." Celestia tightened her grip on my shoulders; I bit my lip at the last second to prevent myself from crying out. "I am quite certain Master did not do it. It must be one of you, lying to us. How dastardly!"

"I can't believe it...Princess Fujisaki is gone..." Hifumi whispered. "I want to see her again..."

"I'm sure Alter-Ego is still somewhere in the school. Of that, I'm certain," Kyoko stated.

"Exactly. Whoever took it must have some other plan in mind. If they had wanted to be rid of it, then they would have done so, right here," Celestia nodded in agreement.

Before we could discuss the situation any further, the bell chimed to indicate the start of night, so with heavy hearts, we all dispersed from the room, going our separate ways. I sighed once I finally reached my room, planning on getting some much-needed sleep.

What, exactly, was Celestia's plan? It was a question I just couldn't get out of my head. And yet, somehow, I also got the sinking feeling of dread that she was nowhere near finished.

It was selfish of me, but I desperately hoped that my involvement in her plan was over and done with. There was only so much lying I could handle...

Just as I changed into my pajamas, I heard a knock on my door; a quiet one. I glanced at the door, blinking.

...

"Master! Just the person I wanted to see." She gave me a sweet smile. Her pigtails were gone, and the pink camera was attached to her waist once more. "Would you please do something for me?"

"I...I already did something for you," I started to nervously decline. "A-And...what about the rules? Aren't you afraid about getting caught out this late?"

"Who cares about the rules?!" Celestia suddenly snapped, making me wince. "You are starting to sound as rudimentary and dull as Kiyotaka-san. And you are far from a dull person, Master. So please do not act like one,"

"W-What do you need me to do? I already hid Alter-Ego for you," I reminded her. She motioned to the camera. "A-Are you going to take pictures of me...?"

"Yes. Put on that dress I made for you, Master. Then, I will take a few." She smiled at me, and I nodded.

After she helped me back into the dress, I posed in what I thought would be a cute style. "How's this...?"

"Ah! I nearly forgot to mention. These will be a...very special type of photo," She purred, and before I could think about what she meant by that, she took a fist to the back of my neck and I was out like a light.

#########

"Mmmm..." I woke up, feeling an incredible tightness around my body, as well as the feeling of cold air being blown all around me. I slowly opened my eyes in confusion, blinking a few times as I found myself in an extremely dark space. I tried to move, only to feel something binding my arms behind my back tightly. I started to struggle reflexively in a panic, finding the bindings to seemingly tighten around me. I tried to cry out, only to feel something covering my mouth. Where was I?! What had happened?! I felt the cold floor underneath my knees and wiggled around slightly, trying to move around even a bit.

"Oh! It seems you have woken up!" Celestia's cheerful voice reached my ears, and soon the room was flooded with light thanks to the one hanging lightbulb on the ceiling. She was standing on the other side of the room, holding a red mirror in one hand and the pink camera in the other. She moved closer to me. "You know...I honestly do regret doing this to you. But..." She showed me the mirror, which caught my reflection, showing off the fact I was currently tied up with rope with my mouth gagged. A large part of my clothes had been ripped off, making it look like someone had torn them off in a hurry. She then put the camera up to her eye.

"Mmmhph?!" I still tried to demand, despite the gag in my mouth.

"Do not worry. You were not hurt. But since you helped me out with Alter-Ego, like it or not, you are now an accomplice in this case. Besides, you get to help out your dream girl. What could possibly be better than that?" She tittered, and my eyes widened.

Case...accomplice...Celestia was planning a murder, if she hadn't already carried it out! And somehow, I had gotten myself involved! No, I wasn't stupid like that...I became her accomplice the moment I agreed to help her with Alter-Ego. Still, what did that have to do with me being tied-up like I was? Celestia snapped two pictures, then lowered the camera.

"If you are wondering how you got like this...I did this." She confessed. "I knocked you out, dragged you into a closet, and tied you up. I hope you will forgive my barbaric actions, but I had to."

I simply stared at her, unable to question her. The ropes were starting to limit my breathing and I had to take short, shallow breaths.

"My plan would be difficult to carry out with just myself, or even just you. So, I have decided to get the help of another person," She clipped the camera back onto her belt. "...Hifumi. That disgusting oaf is good for one thing, being used. However, much like you, he will need a tiny bit of motivation for him to fully join us,"

I managed to shift my position slightly, only to fall over on my side. I continued to stare at Celestia, feeling dizzy.

"It is no secret he is obsessed with you. So, my idea was to have him believe you had been attacked and assaulted by our target," She then hurried over to my side, pulling the gag off my mouth and starting to loosen my ties. I took a deep gasp of air.

"W-Who is our target...?" I asked nervously once I could speak.

"Kiyotaka-san, naturally." Celestia shrugged. "I took some photos of myself in a similar position to yours earlier, just in case he needs a bit more encouragement. We only have one more photo left on this camera...so let us use it wisely,"

I trembled lightly. Celestia was going to use me as a tool for murder...and then what? She'd likely frame me once she killed Kiyotaka. She'd probably kill Hifumi too, no doubt about that. And then frame me. And she'd have some good evidence too...

"Now, come back to my room. I will give you another reward for helping me out. These next few stages do not involve you, however. They are strictly between Hifumi and I. But do not fret, I shall come and retrieve you once you are needed again," She smiled sweetly at me, tilting her head.

"Celestia-chan..." I started to command, only to be silenced by another kiss of hers. She ran her hand down my face.

"Master...do this for me? Do you not want to see your dream girl happy?" Her eyes shimmered with sadness.

I finally sighed and nodded mutely, heading back to Celestia's room as she requested. I held out the tattered dress; why had Celestia wanted to ruin something she had made so badly? No matter...I peeled it off my body and quickly threw on one of Celestia's dresses, blushing at how baggy it was on me. It went all the way down to the floor and the sleeves covered my hands. But it would have to do for now.

I then flopped down on Celestia's bed and started wondering what exactly she was going to do with Hifumi and how I even fit into all of this, especially for her later plans.

##########

I must have fallen asleep, because when I woke up again, I shook my head drowsily and felt a tightening sensation on my wrists. I winced and became more awake, tugging against the ropes. This was such a common occurrence for me now that I needn't ask who had done it, only why.

"Celestia-chan...?" I spoke into the darkness, shivering slightly. My hands were kept tied up above my head, but my feet were loose. A lot of good that position did though, as my arms felt like they were being pulled from my sockets.

"Non, that is not how you address moi. Naughty, naughty," She tsk'ed, coming into the light to reveal she had become Mistress Rose once more.

I shivered some more and glanced down at my body fully, blushing heavily when I found myself to be dressed in a skimpier version of what Celestia normally wore; a very short skirt with stockings and a very low-cut blouse. I was lucky it didn't show very much off...

"This is my...reward...?" I asked slowly, shivering as I remembered my last session with Mistress Rose. She tittered and stepped closer.

"Oui. Since you have behaved very well, I have decided to go easy on you. You may request of me to do anything you would like," She ran her hands down her body, making me blush heavily.

A smaller part of me was taunting me, telling me to take revenge on Celestia and humiliate her for having such a bad attitude about everything all of the time...

I shook my head. No way. Absolutely not. Celestia is...ummm...pleasant sometimes. I would feel terrible if I humiliated her...

"W-What about Hifumi-kun?" I asked instead, wondering if he was getting such treatment. Unlikely.

"I do not know who that is, Master. I am only thinking of you at this moment in time," Celestia purred, walking over to me and running her finger down my chin. I gulped. "Tonight, I am all yours, as I said. Deflower this rose in bloom,"

"M-Mistress Rose..."

"Sssssh," She pressed her body into mine and begun kissing me deeply, sticking her tongue in and making me moan in surprise.

"C-Celestia-chan...!" I tried instead, blushing hotly. I felt myself starting to get 'excited', but I swallowed and willed the feeling to go away as Celestia continued to kiss me.

"You have been a very faithful servant of mine. I am grateful." She pressed her crotch into mine, specifically rubbing against my bulge as I moaned in surprise.

"Mistress, I have completed the costume and weapons, just as you specified!" Hifumi announced as he walked into the room. My eyes widened as he froze in the entryway, trying to take in everything he had been seeing.

Celestia and I finally pulled away from our kiss, a long line of spit attached. My cheeks were still a hot, blushing mess. Hifumi had caught us! Oh no! I was in so much trouble! He was going to try and kill me for violating his precious 'Mistress Celestia'-

"Madame Fujisaki...and Mistress Celestia...are...an..item...?!" He slowly begun, taking it all in. Celestia simply gave him a proud smirk and kissed me again.

"Hifumi-kun...I-I...I c-can explain...!" I begun hurriedly, gasping.

"I...I always assumed you were one for the ladies, Madame Fujisaki, but you, Mistress Celestia...?! Oh! This is like a girls' love dream come true!" He drooled before promptly passing out. I gave a yelp of surprise before catching myself.

"Is...is he dead?" I slowly asked.

"Well, goodness. I hope not! Otherwise, that will make the rest of our plan quite difficult," She sighed dramatically, releasing me from my binds. "Was I your first kiss...?"

I blushed heavily, remembering that sweet yet passionate kiss Sayaka and I had both shared, nearly two weeks ago when she sought comfort in my room. She was my very first kiss...and my first time. But I knew telling Celestia that would be bad, so instead I just nodded.

"Yes." I gulped when she smiled.

"I thought so. Alright, now as I said, the next few stages are between Hifumi and I.." She glanced down at him, still passed out. "But...I suppose it could not hurt to make yourself useful..." I laughed awkwardly.

#####

"Uh, Chihiro-chi, any particular reason you invited me out here so late? I mean, it's one thirty in the morning," Yasuhiro yawned a bit as he looked around the rec room in confusion.

I laughed awkwardly. "I just...wanted to have a talk with you. A serious talk," I folded my hands up in front of my green jacket; finally cleaned.

Yasuhiro nodded, continuing to look around. "Well, make it quick then. What'd you want to talk about?"

"What you said to me the other day about Hifumi-kun getting suspicious. I realized...you were right. I need to start spending less time with the girls," I begun, keeping my focus on the door.

"I understand, but...why did you call me here just to tell me that?" He asked, but before I could answer, Celestia had snuck up behind him and shoved a soaked rag up into his face, keeping her other hand around his neck. His eyes widened in shock before they rapidly closed and he slumped down on the couch. Celestia smiled to herself as she stared at her handiwork.

"Celestia-chan..." I said simply, walking over to her. I suddenly had an idea...

"Hm?"

"I...I got this from the MonoMono Machine. I thought you might like it," I explained, pulling a silver diamond ring shaped like a heart out of my pocket. Her eyes widened as she held out her hand and I gently slipped it on. "I thought it would look good on you,"

"Oh, Master, it is very beautiful. Did you know diamond is my birthstone?" She asked, fluttering her fingers as she looked the ring over.

"R-Really?" I asked. She nodded.

"That is why for every year on my birthday, Mother and Father would give me a diamond-and-pearl necklace. I have seventeen of those now." She smiled at me. "Perhaps you could continue the tradition with rings,"

"Perhaps I shall..." I gave her a shy smile back. The ring glittered menacingly under the low lights, next to her other ring.

######

After I helped out with Yasuhiro, I then retired to my room for real, intending to get at least an hour or two of sleep so I didn't look extremely exhausted. I knew any sign of tiredness would likely paint me in a suspicious light, so sleep was something I desperately needed to get...especially knowing what Celestia had planned for me in the early morning hours...

####

"Wake up." Celestia practically hissed in my ear, yanking me out of bed anyway. I yawned a bit, rubbing my eyes. "You are of use again,"

"How did you get into my room...?" I asked tiredly, blinking.

"Your door was left open for me." She responded. I somehow doubted that greatly, but I had neither the energy or time to question her further. "Do you remember what you have to do?" She asked, and I nodded, wringing my hands nervously. "Excellent! Then let the next part of the plan commence,"

I sighed wearily as I followed after her, meeting up with Hifumi in her room again. The two of them had several colourful hammers that Hifumi had made specifically for this. Something from some anime...oh yeah, RoboJustice, Defender of Andromeda.

"The Justice Hammers!" I gasped in surprise before I caught myself. "They look so detailed...so well-made! They look just like the ones from the show!"

"A fan as well, Madame Fujisaki? Day after day you reveal yourself to be more of a kindred spirit...how romantic!" He offered the fifth one to me and I held it in my hands, admiring it.

"This must've taken you years of studying..." I said in amazement.

"Yes! It's so rare to see someone appreciate my craftsmanship! I wanted to make them as accurate as possible!" He adjusted his glasses.

"These are incredible!"

"M-Madame Fujisaki...I appreciate your compliments so much...are you sure you don't need a man to love you?"

I very slowly gave the hammer back to him, weirded-out again.

"Does anyone need another explanation of the plan?" Celestia asked, but we both shook our heads. "Excellent. We have been missing from breakfast for about an hour now...they should be looking for us. Now, commence the plan,"

Hifumi and I nodded and the three of us took off in different directions, all with our own hammer to put the remainder of the plan into action. Celestia headed off to the rec room, Hifumi for the library, and I headed towards the second-floor stairs, tightly clutching the handle of the hammer.

I felt ill to my stomach. Why did I ever agree to go along with this? What had even happened to Yasuhiro? Maybe he got caught in the crosshairs and had gotten murdered alongside Kiyotaka. Oh, no.

I sensed my cue when Celestia let out a scream; it was fake but it was really good. I nearly dropped my hammer as my body tensed, ready to go run after her. But no, I needed to remain here and carry out my goal. I let out a loud scream of my own and threw the hammer down the stairs, jumping down after it and landing on my ankle, wincing in pain as it bent backwards slightly. "Ouch..."

Only a few seconds later, Sayaka and Junko had come running over, gasping.

"What happened, My Lord?" Sayaka asked in concern, already offering her hand to me. I blushed a bit and adjusted my position, wincing as I shifted the sprained ankle.

"I...I...I got attacked. By...that masked madman! H-He attacked Hifumi-kun and Celestia-chan too...I'm worried that if we don't stop him, he'll continue to wreck havoc!" I gasped, feeling my eyes well up with tears. Sayaka gasped again.

"Did he attack you with this?" Junko questioned, kicking the hammer with her foot. I nodded.

"I tried to run away...I knew I wouldn't be able to take him...but he caught up to me. He swung the hammer at me but I lost my balance at the top of the stairs...I lunged out and took the hammer with me as I fell down the stairs..." I winced again.

"We should take you the infirmary, right away!" Sayaka decided, gently helping me up and letting me lean on her.

"Shouldn't we take this hammer too? For evidence?" Junko asked, and Sayaka nodded.

"Good idea!"

As they walked me to the infirmary, we bumped into the other group, taking a bloody Hifumi to the infirmary as well.

"Chihiro-chan! What happened?!" Makoto gasped in surprise.

"She got attacked by the same madman we did...RoboJustice! Right?" Hifumi filled in for me, and I nodded.

"I fell down the stairs...and sprained my ankle..." I motioned down to it.

"Oh no...this is worse than I thought...Master got attacked too? Who will be next? Will this madman spare our worried souls nought but a thought?" Celestia swooned, her hands on her chest.

"It's just a sprained ankle..." I tried to reassure her as Sayaka and Junko sat me down on a bed, propping my ankle up with a pillow.

"How did this happen, both of you?" Makoto asked, looking from me to Hifumi.

"Er...I woke up early to begin the search for Princess Fujisaki...when I heard strange noises coming from the rec room...I went in there to investigate and before I knew it, I found myself getting attacked and dragged off by RoboJustice..." Hifumi begun.

"That must have happened around seven, when I took that picture," Celestia commented.

"I got attacked about twenty minutes after that, it seems...I woke up early to help you guys when I got surprised by the madman on the second floor. I tried to run off but I lost my balance and lunged, falling down the stairs. Luckily though, I took the madman's hammer with him before he could hit me with it..." I motioned to the giant hammer Junko was holding.

"Whoa, that thing is way bigger than the ones we found earlier!" Aoi gasped.

"However, that masked man is still on the loose as we speak. Perhaps plotting a murder? A successful one? We would be fools if we didn't leave these two here to rest and continue our search," Celestia reminded everyone, and they all nodded.

"Are you sure you can't come with us?" Aoi asked, glancing at me. I nodded.

"I should keep off my feet for now...besides, I don't want Hifumi-kun to be lonely," I winced; luckily the others chalked it up to my ankle still giving me trouble.

"Alright, My Lord! We'll be back soon!" Sayaka promised, her maid dress fluttering around. The group left the infirmary, and I sighed a bit. Once they left, Hifumi became more animated, jumping off the bed.

"Hm? Where are you going now?"

"To enact the next part of Mistress Celestia's plan, of course! And you need to get going too! You have to move those blueprints into Sir Hagakure's room!" He pulled open the fridge and my stomach flipped a bit, remembering that's where all of the blood transfusions were kept.

"R-Right..." I very slowly slipped out of the bed and limped a bit, wincing. Maybe launching myself off the stairs wasn't the smartest move...I glanced down both ends of the hallway and darted off, knowing everyone would likely be on the third floor by that point.

I was already starting to breathe heavily by the time I reached the dorms despite that hallway not being too far off from the infirmary. Curse my lack of daily exercise. I pulled open Celestia's door and snatched up the blueprints, not even looking as I dived into Yasuhiro's room and tossed the blueprints onto his desk, straightening them out a bit. Luckily, they wouldn't dust for fingerprints...

Celestia screamed loudly from the third-floor, and I knew that was her cue for Hifumi. I finished straightening out the blueprints and snuck out of the room, shutting the door silently behind me and scaling down the wall, heading in the opposite direction of the infirmary. I was to meet with Celestia in the art room next to discuss the next plan of action. What that was, I obviously had no clue; my heart was beating loudly in my chest. What had happened to Kiyotaka's body? Now that I thought about it, Celestia hadn't really told me very much about the actual murder. I was mainly just used as a decoy. I supposed that was a good thing...

I peeked out of the hallway and found a group of people already in the infirmary, stressing out over Hifumi. It was Celestia, Makoto, Aoi, and Sayaka. Where had Junko gone? Maybe with the other group...I didn't have enough time to think about that though! I needed to head to the art room.

I continued to scale the walls, wincing every so often I put my injured ankle in a bad position. I slowly slinked up the stairs to the second-floor, ducking into a nearby classroom when I heard a person dash down the hallway in a panic. My heart thundered in my ears.

Finally, I reached the art room, taking a deep breath as I collapsed to my knees, breathing heavily. Celestia arrived just a few seconds later, her hands folded in front of her and her pigtails gone. "Celestia-chan!" I perked up, giving her a weak smile. "H-How did I do...? Oh, why did you want to see me?"

"I just wanted to thank you personally, Master. If it were not for your help, I would have hard such a hard time seeing my plan come into fruition. But you were such a perfect little helper, were you not?~" She grabbed my chin, making me blush heavily. "We only have a few minutes before Hifumi arrives with the dolly...is there anything you would like from me as your reward?"

I blushed heavily and got a determined expression on my features as I stared at her body. Ever since we had come here, my dream girl had been utterly unattainable. I hadn't been able to...'have' her the way I had the other girls. But now...I would do something about that. Only a few minutes? I think I could handle that.

"Bend over that table over there," I commanded, pointing over to an empty brown desk in the corner of the room. Celestia nodded, tittering as she did just that, bending over and making her dress ride up slightly. "Good." I walked up behind her and pulled up the rest of her dress, revealing black lacy panties. But, now was not the time for staring. I only had a few minutes to put my own plan into action and I was determined to make the very most of it.

I blinked as I tried to recall what Leon had done to Junko just over two weeks ago, bending her over a desk just like this. I hurriedly rolled up my skirt and bunched it up, pulling out my manhood and stroking it a few times before I yanked down Celestia's silky panties and slipped right into her; she gasped.

"M-Master!~ I was not expecting that," She teased, smirking at me. I blushed heavily, keeping a tight grip on her behind. I then pulled in and out of her for a few seconds, feeling her starting to get a bit wet. Well, it would just have to do for now. I thrust into her, making the desk hit the wall roughly.

I blushed again and softened my thrusts, not wanting someone to hear that noise and catch us. Hifumi could show up any minute now and I did not want him to catch me in such a position...especially after he had gone this long believing I was a girl.

"Master..." Celestia cooed; I knew she wanted this to end just as quickly as I did. I tightened my grip on her, feeling my fingerprints making a dent as I thrust into her faster, making her breasts bounce as she bit her lip and gripped the desk.

"Celestia-chan..." I moaned, suddenly hitting her spot as she let out a loud gasp of surprise, blinking as she threw her head back. The reaction shocked me and I cummed into her quicker than I had wanted; filling her up. I slowly pulled myself out and felt my skirt fall back into place as I readjusted myself and stood there, just blinking at her.

"Did you enjoy that, Master?" Celestia asked me, readjusting her own clothes by fluffing out her skirt and pulling her panties back up. I nodded slowly, deciding I didn't like the smirk on her face. "I am delighted. Was I your first?" Again, I nodded, taking a few steps back from her. "I surmised as much." The ring I gave her earlier glittered dangerously on her finger.

"Celestia-chan...when is Hifumi-kun coming?" I asked instead, blinking again. Celestia shrugged and glanced over at the rack full of mallets and hammers of different sizes. She pulled a medium-sized one off the rack and walked slowly towards me, dragging the mallet on the floor.

"I have no idea...but I do not care. Much like you, he was just a means to an end. When he comes up here, I will kill him so he will not tell on me. Much like I am about to do to you," she smirked evilly as I tried to back away more, yelping when my back hit the wall.

"C-Celestia-chan...no...!" I cried out, holding my hands in front of my face. "I won't tell on you!"

"I have no doubt you will, because a dead man cannot speak," She grinned as she lifted the mallet up above her head, preparing to whack me on the head with it.

"N-No...Celestia-chan...please don't kill me! Leave me alone! Don't kill me!" I cried out without thinking, tears streaming down my face. I winced as I awaited the impact, but it never came. Instead, Celestia lowered the mallet, dropping it loudly on the floor.

"Fuck you." She whispered in a venomous tone before she clapped her palm against my neck. Everything went black as my legs gave way and I fell to the ground.

"Oh no, Hifumi-kun, Ishimaru-kun...and Chihiro-chan!" Makoto's voice reached my ears as I struggled to open my eyes. Oh, so it seemed Hifumi had arrived after all...but Kiyotaka...huh...?

"Mm..." I mumbled out, still struggling to open my eyes.

"You idiot, she isn't dead. Just knocked unconscious, by the looks of it," Byakuya nudged Makoto.

"Chihiro-chan! Are you alright?" Makoto asked me. I very slowly nodded, groaning again. "Don't worry, Aoi-chan and Sakura-chan will take you the infirmary. But what were you even doing, walking around like this?"

"Mmmm...?" I very slowly managed to open my eyes, seeing watery shapes in my vision. I felt something strong and warm pick me up, and I tightly clung to that person, feeling dizzy.

"Don't worry, Master, we'll make sure you recover!" Aoi's voice promised me. I had just enough strength to nod before I felt my eyes close once more and everything went black.
