The water was almost boiling hot against her skin. Warm enough to burn off any impurity from her body. She scrubbed and scrubbed as hard as she could with the soap, but no matter how much she washed, she never felt clean.
It was as if the blood of the innocent she killed kept clinging to her.
There was no way Shiena could remove the blood on her- it was now so deep inside her that it was tainting her very soul. No amount of scrubbing and soaping could ever clean that.
The pain started to be unbearable and Shiena simply switched the water heater, getting sprinkled with cold water instead. The sudden temperature shock made Shiena let out a weak cry, but she beared with it. She had no right to complain.
When she couldn't stand the cold anymore and started to finally feel numb, Shiena left the shower. She didn't even bother to dry up and simply put her bathrobe on and returned to her main room.
She let herself fall onto the bed, her thoughts clouded by darkness. She closed her eyes, ready to just fall asleep to stop thinking, even if she knew the nightmares will most likely haunt her.
Knock, knock, knock
Shiena opened her eyes. Right, she was supposed to come. The brunette knew very well that ignoring her was pointless; she can't run away anymore. With a sigh, Shiena rose up and opened the door.
Otoya was standing in the doorframe, offering her a warm smile that made Shiena's heart pound.
"Shiena-chan! Everything has been taken care of. All cleaned up!"
Shiena winced. She didn't want to be reminded of the mess she did. But Otoya didn't seem to mind talking about it.
"May I come in?" Otoya asked, but didn't even wait for Shiena's answer before stepping inside.
Shiena closed the door and turned back to see Otoya staring at her with intensity in her gaze.
"Shiena-chan, you took a shower?" she asked with curiosity.
"Huh, yeah… I felt dirty."
"Hm?"
Otoya looked pondering for a moment before a beaming smile appeared on her face.
"Oh, I see, I see. Shiena-chan wanted to be clean for me!"
Shiena stayed quiet for a moment before she offered a forced smile to Otoya.
"S-Sure…"
Otoya giggled at that as she started to slowly walk closer to Shiena. The latter instinctively started to recoil but was eventually stopped when she reached the corner of her bed. Otoya's smirk grew wider as she finally reached Shiena, gently pushing her on the bed and pinning her down.
"Aww, you didn't even dress up after your shower. I didn't take you for such a tease, Shiena-chan, tempting me like that…"
Shiena's bathrobe was slightly opened, exposing her bare chest. She didn't make any attempt to hide it. Otoya laid on her, burying her face in her neck and hair.
"Mmm, you smell so good, Shiena-chan… I really missed your scent."
Otoya's hand started to wander under Shiena's robe.
"Otoya… I'm no longer part of AKA," she suddenly said.
"Hm? I believe you mentioned it earlier."
"And… there isn't just that. Kirigaya and that black-haired woman… are after you. They want to kill you."
"Oh?"
"Namatame… survived, but Kirigaya still wants revenge against you. As for the other woman… she's Shutou's wife, and she thinks you're responsible for what happened to Shutou."
"Oh, is that so… This black-haired woman must be Kouko-san then."
"She said you snitched on Shutou and that's why Black Guild wants to kill her."
"Eh."
"Is it true?"
"Does it really matter?"
"... I suppose it doesn't… What is done… is done," Shiena mumbled, Kurodo's face flashing in her mind. "At least none of them are dead."
"And even if they do want to kill me, good luck to them trying to find me. Only my Shiena-chan could."
As she said that, Otoya gently caressed Shiena's cheek in a possessive way, and the brunette couldn't help but blush.
"Only Shiena-chan can understand me," Otoya whispered softly. "Only you are worthy of me."
Once again, Otoya's hand wandered under Shiena's robe, gently cupping her breast.
"You are mine, Shiena."
Her eyes were now staring intensely at Shiena's.
"Y-Yes. I'm yours."
Otoya smiled with satisfaction as she stole Shiena's lips, her hand going lower and lower...
Otoya was contemplating the sleeping Shiena. She looked so pale and exhausted. Whatever happened to her during those last few months must have been rough.
Otoya grinned at that thought.
"That's what you get for betraying me."
Delicately, Otoya brushed Shiena's cheek. She wasn't dumb enough to trust Shiena again after she deceived her, but she couldn't deny that the brunette was remorseful enough to at least deserve a second chance. And she also proved her love and devotion by killing that annoying detective.
Otoya was forced to admit she may have some role to play in Shiena's treason. She underestimated Shiena's emotional instability. She should have predicted that Shiena would betray her if she felt in danger. Threatening her wasn't an issue; it was making it too obvious that was the problem. A mistake she won't commit again.
Her hand shifted to Shiena's throat. She had to keep the leash tight around her neck so she wouldn't betray her again, without the brunette feeling strangled either. Otherwise, she might try to break free again.
Otoya grinned again. With what happened yesterday, Shiena herself put a rather heavy collar around her own neck, which Otoya won't hesitate to use for her own benefit.
Shiena was hers and only hers. Forever.
Otoya laid down next to Shiena, gently spooning her, excited to have some fun with her soon.
"Come on in, don't be shy! Make yourself at home, Shiena-chan."
Despite Otoya's inviting smile, Shiena couldn't help but be nervous. With a hesitant step, she walked inside Otoya's apartment.
It felt quite different from Otoya's old house. It felt way more… empty. Too clean.
"Hehe, you look kind of disappointed, Shiena-chan. I must admit, my current place is nothing fancy, but I figured it would still be better than this lame motel room you were staying at. Anyway, it's only temporary."
"Temporary…?"
Otoya didn't answer and instead walked towards the kitchen.
"Do you want anything to drink, Shiena-chan? Coffee maybe?"
"Ah, no… I'm fine, thanks."
"Are you sure? You look tired. You could use some caffeine."
"I-If you say so, then… I'll take one."
"Wonderful! You may sit down, I'll be back in a minute."
Shiena did as she was told. She sat down on the couch in the living room, feeling her heart racing. She wasn't scared or anything, but she couldn't help but feel… uneased. Things didn't go exactly as she had planned but in the end, wasn't it for the best? Otoya forgave her. It was what she wanted…
Right?
Yes, it had to be.
"Shiena-chan, what'd you take your coffee with?"
"Just milk."
"Gotcha!"
Soon enough, Otoya came back and put the cup of coffee on the table while sitting next to Shiena.
"It's pretty warm so you should let it cool down a little," Otoya proposed with a kind smile.
"Y-Yeah…"
Otoya got closer, so much that their thighs were touching. Shiena could feel her heart racing already.
"So, Kirigaya-san and Kouko-san are after me huh… I have always been popular with the ladies, hehe."
"What about… Black Guild? Are they after you?"
"I don't think so… I didn't have any news from them. My identity has been found out so I'm on my own now. But they haven't tried anything against me so they probably don't see me as a threat. I ain't no snitch, after all. They must know I have no interest or benefits in denouncing them."
"T-That woman who tried to kill me… She was from Black Guild, right?"
"Oh, Isuke-san? Yeah. I doubt she'd go after me though. She wouldn't do anything that doesn't benefit her."
"Are those… all the members?"
"Well, there was also Suzu-san, but you already knew that. Other than them… oh yeah, there is someone else. I don't know her real name but her codename is "Pocky". She looks too friendly to be an assassin in my opinion, but I guess she has her own reasons. She seems close to Isuke-san."
"I see… And-"
"Your coffee must have cooled off, Shiena-chan."
"A-Ah! R-Right…"
Nervously, Shiena took the cup and started to sip her coffee under the gaze of a smiling Otoya.
"Let's forget about Black Guild, AKA, all this drama, okay? We are together now, free from them. Isn't what truly matters?"
"Y-Yeah, you are right. Those things are behind us. Now we can just be together."
"Exactly! I'm so glad that you feel the same way, Shiena-chan."
Shiena weakly nodded as she continued to drink her coffee. But the more she drank it, the weaker she felt… More tired, and even… dizzy.
Wasn't it supposed to wake her up from her exhaustion? Then why did she just want to go back to bed…
"Shiena-chan? Are you alright? You look even more exhausted."
"I… I don't know… I feel so tired all of a sudden…"
"Oh, that's no good! You should go lay down then. You can use my bed if you want."
"I… Yes… thanks, Otoya…"
But when Shiena tried to stand up, she nearly tripped. Otoya caught her right in time to prevent her from falling.
"My my, poor Shiena-chan, so weak and tired… Here, let me lend you a hand."
Otoya let Shiena support herself on her shoulder and led her to her bedroom. Much as Shiena expected, the room was a mess- some things never changed.
Otoya gently laid Shiena down on her bed. Then, delicately, she started to undress her.
"O-Otoya…?"
"Shhh. You can't sleep comfortably all clothed like that, right? I'm just putting you at ease."
"Oh… okay…"
Shiena didn't feel the need to fight back. She just felt way too weak and tired to do so. She got rid of Shiena's shirt and her hand started to gently fondle her breasts.
"... Otoya…?..."
"Shhh, everything will be fine, Shiena-chan. Poor you, you seem so exhausted, so tired… Life didn't treat you kindly these days, huh. Let me relieve some of your stress. You can trust me, you know? I'll always be there for you, to take care of you, to love you, to treat you well, to please you…"
As she said that, Otoya's other hand started to go lower, softly brushing Shiena's belly in a pleasant tickle, until she reached her pants. She pulled them down, slightly stroking Shiena's crotch through the fabric of her panties, before removing them too.
"Ahh… O… Otoya….!"
"Now now Shiena-chan, everything is fine. There's no need to be worried or embarrassed. You trust me, right? You love me, right? I'm doing this for you, you know? So just relax and… enjoy this, okay?"
Otoya had a sweetly sickening smile on her face. Shiena didn't have the strength to fight back. Her body felt too weak and numb…
Anyway, why would she struggle? She loved Otoya, right? And Otoya loved her. So it was all fine…
Right?
Shiena let out a soft moan as she felt Otoya's fingers rubbing her slit, drawing some love juice before she started rolling her clit.
"Ahhhh… ugh…. mmm…"
"Does it feel good, Shiena-chan? I can see you are enjoying yourself right now. What a naughty girl…"
"Uhm… ahh…"
Otoya's finger started to move faster and Shiena could feel cum dripping from her pussy down her thighs.
"Will you come for me, Shiena-chan? Will you promise to never disappoint me ever again? That you'll remain faithful to me forever?"
"I… ahhh… Yes…! I… promise… I'll be… faithful… to you… mmmm!"
"Good girl. Here's your reward."
The pace was even faster. Otoya's fingers against her clit felt too good. Shiena could feel this pleasant pressure building up in her lower belly until it was finally released in a jolt of pure pleasure spreading through her entire body. Despite her total exhaustion, Shiena managed to let out a powerful moan as she finally reached her climax, all her muscles tensing.
Then her body became numb and she was devoid of any strength. Her muscles felt limp and she closed her eyes, her mind feeling completely blank.
She felt so dizzy that she could barely hear Otoya whisper into her ear: "My turn now."
The brunette caught a quick glance of Otoya unzipping her pants and pulling off her panties.
"But Shiena-chan looks so exhausted and tired… But it's okay. I can handle this myself. You don't have to do anything. Just open your mouth and stick out your tongue, okay?"
Shiena didn't have the strength to answer but still did as she was told. She couldn't refuse anything from Otoya. So she obediently opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue. A soft satisfied chuckle escaped Otoya's mouth as she climbed on Shiena, sitting on her face. Otoya was already dripping wet. The scent was so strong it was almost intoxicating.
Without further ado, Otoya started to move, rubbing her own pussy against Shiena's tongue. The brunette could taste her cum dripping inside her mouth.
"Mhmm… I really missed this feeling… ahhh….!"
Otoya moved her hips faster, her clit rubbing directly against Shiena's tongue as she grabbed her head to grind herself against it harder.
"...F-Fuck, it feels so good! Shiena-chan's mouth is just… the best… You're… my precious fucktoy!"
Otoya's words could barely reach Shiena anymore. She could barely breathe under her pussy but made no attempt to struggle. She was just too numb to do anything.
"I… I'm close… All thanks to you- Ahhhh…. UGGGGH!"
Otoya's nails dug into her scalp as she came powerfully, pulling on Shiena's hair. She kept that way until she had fully drawn out her orgasm before finally releasing Shiena's from her grip. She remained there panting for a moment before she laid down on the nearly unconscious Shiena.
"You did good, Shiena-chan. Only you can bring me that kind of pleasure. And only I can love you."
Shiena didn't have the strength to answer. Otoya pressed her lips against hers and stole her a kiss before lying next to her, hugging her fondly.
"So stay by my side forever, okay? Don't leave me again."
Those words were the last thing Shiena heard before finally falling into darkness.
