Dark Kingdom 59

Usagi stood in the center of the room, her knees trembling. There was no escape. Behind her was the cool glass wall, next to her the scarred face and to her right a brawny-looking doorman blocked the only escape route.

In front of her, Sapphire sat on the huge leather couch between two young girls who looked even younger than herself. They had their hands on his thighs each, which was an absurd sight.

The black-haired man resembled a king on his throne, surrounded by servants.

And she herself was a subject whom he could judge as he pleased.

"Nice that you found the time.", He smiled, but his eyes remained expressionless.

Usagi didn't answer. Her gaze flicked back and forth in the dimly lit room. There was no way out. Rescue was not in sight either.

Damn it, if only she would have told anyone where she was going. Or at least leave a note in her room.

Nobody knew where she was. So no one would find out where her body was going to be buried either.

Nobody but Naru.

She had betrayed her. So it was a trap after all and Usagi was naive, blindly tapped into it. Although she tried to suppress it, she glared in her direction for a moment.

Her red-haired former best friend was rather indifferent to the hustle and bustle. She was standing in a corner, her eyes on the floor.

Did she feel remorse? Shame at letting a guy like Sapphire lull her?

"Your friend has done me really good service?" , he said suddenly and snapped his finger.

As if on command, Naru moved, came towards him.

A trained dog, Usagi thought disparagingly and watched as Naru got on her knees in front of Sapphire after another finger pointer.

"And she learned quickly.", Sapphire grinned smugly. "What I like."

Usagi could see how Naru tampered with his pants. Were she serious?

She turned her head in disgust. Unfortunately exactly in the direction of the Scar face, who grinned broadly and made a disgusting, meaningful gesture with his clenched fist and tongue.

"Take a look at it. How well she has learned.", Sapphire leaned back at his words. "I'm sure she can teach you a lot."

"You damn ...", Usagi wanted to jump towards him, but the scarred face held her back roughly, gripped her hips hard and pressed herself against her back. His excited gasp at the same time only made Usagi strangle.

"Hold back, Ibaki. You have to be patient a little longer."

Usagi stared at Sapphire with hatred as he uttered these words.

But he just smiled, replied: "You surely still know him. Ibaki is one of my best men. Maybe a little brisk. But who can blame him for something as rude as you."

"He should be dead." , Usagi pressed through gritted teeth.

"That's right. But I thought ahead in this regard."

Sapphire grabbed Naru's head of hair and pushed her head deeper into his lap. He ignored her definite whimper.

"Bulletproof vest, baby." The scarred face named Ibaki licked Usagi's neck. "Your engraver hurt me a lot."

"And he'll shoot your head off when he finds out what you're doing here," she spat at him.

"Quite a big mouth for someone who is outnumbered." Ibaki forced her to bend over the arm of the couch, roughly pushed her back down and positioned herself directly behind her.

"It will be my pleasure to fuck you first." he grunted, running his hand between her legs.

"What a bad luck my brother can't be here." , said Saphir with mock sorrow. "How would he react if he had to watch the woman he loves being raped by all the men here one after the other."

Usagi froze.

Not even necessarily because of the threat. The statement about Diamond at the beginning of the sentence shocked her far more.

The woman he loves? Was that what she meant?

But why? And then did the kiss matter more?

She could see Rei out of the corner of her eye. She was sitting on an older man's lap, staring blankly somewhere around the room.

What was she doing here anyway?

And why didn't she help her somehow? Couldn't she at least let Mamoru know?

Sapphire took a deep breath, which brought Usagi's attention back to him.

Shortly afterwards, Naru appeared in her immediate field of vision after Sapphire had pushed her aside with seemingly painful tenderness. Her place was now taken by one of the childlike girls next to Sapphire.

So there she was, the once so confident and intelligent student with whom Usagi had spent half her life. Next to the sofa on the floor, smiling glassy upward.

Something bothered Usagi about it? Was Naru drunk? Spit ran out of the corners of her mouth. And another liquid that Usagi didn't want to think about any further.

"Usagi.", Naru grinned surprised at her. A brief moment of clarity, which was gone in a split second when her friend turned away and crawled like a cat to the beefy doorman.

Then she immediately fiddled with his belt.

Usagi didn't have to look to know what was about to happen.

"What did you do to her?" , she asked Sapphire coolly. She tried to block out the obvious background noise.

It rustled briefly until finally Sapphire appeared before her eyes. His facial expression was like a frozen grinning grimace, his look was disapproving.

"She really wanted to be part of it.", he explained. "And that's the easiest way." He held a small round tablet between his thumb and forefinger.

"You gave her drugs?" , Usagi screamed angrily, but was immediately silenced because Ibaki pressed her head into the cushion.

"How naive you are?", asked Saphir disparagingly.

"Do you seriously still believe in big love?" , he asked scornfully. "This world is all about money, power and sex."

Sapphire's face came very close to hers. She could feel his breath in her ear as he whispered, "Tell me, how long did it take for your superhero Mamoru to fuck you?"

For the first time since entering this club, she was glad of the diffuse lighting.

So she could be sure that no one saw the blood rush to her head.

"I would like to know why the ice-cold black dragon ate such a fool on you.", Sapphire stroked her cheek.

Black Dragon? Did he mean Mamoru by that?

"You may be particularly good at something."

He mused on, but then turned to the side and said to someone else: "Takamura, wouldn't you like to know that too?"

"A dark male voice laughed out loud:" Then the black dragon will really kill me. "

Usagi stopped short. She knew that voice from somewhere. She strained through her memories.

"Probably true. An ex-girlfriend of him is enough.", Sapphire thought aloud.

"Well, I'm tired of this act." , he finally waved him off. "Ibaki, take care of her."

"I'd love to, boss." Giggled the scarred face.

Usagi

tensed as she felt his hands under her sweater.

She tried with all her might to fight back, but he was just too strong. In addition, she felt helpless like never before. Also because Sapphire continued to crouch next to the couch and attended this strange spectacle with an interested smile.

How disgusting was this person? Not only had he made Naru addicted to drugs, now he was watching a helpless girl raped. It seemed like he was indulging in the agony of others.

Why didn't anyone help her? Anyone

As if on command, the lights went out.
