That night
When we went to bed the kitten laid on Akko's pillow and the puppy in Akko's arms, however halfway through the night, Akko woke up screaming, scaring not only me but also the kitten and the pup. I immediately tried to calm her down, "Akko, Akko, it's okay you are safe no one is going to harm you, alright?" Akko's eyes shook with fear, her body flinches when I tried to hug her. The pup and the kitten walked towards her and the kitten laid in between Akko's legs and the pup climbed onto the bed and laid its head on Akko's thigh as though asking for Akko to calm down.
I realized that both the kitten and the pup had made Akko calm down. I guess the only thing Akko was comfortable with was animals since the humans did torture her. I knew we could send the kitten and the pup to be a therapy dog and cat, which will be good for Akko. Akko soon calmed down however her hands held onto the kitten's body, which it did not mind, the kitten did the unexpected and snuggled into Akko's arms. I asked her "Akko? Did you have a bad dream?", all Akko did was nod her head which was a sign telling me she did not want to talk about what the dream was.
I simply pulled her in a hug and the both of us laid on the bed and I asked Akko "Do you want to hear a lullaby?" she nodded her head and I began singing a song that my mother would sing to me back when I was a child.
Darling child, close your eyes
I am here to chase the bad dreams away,
Need not fear,
They can't touch you.
Fall asleep within my arms
Darling child, forever you are safe.
Need not cry,
I am here with you.
When I finished my last verse, Akko had fallen asleep and snuggled into my arms while holding the kitten and the pup. I smiled and peck her head, before closing my eyes and falling back asleep.
Morning, 8 am
When I had awoken to the light shining in my eyes, I looked towards Akko with the kitten sleeping on her stomach and the pup lying on her arm. I smiled and pet Akko on her head causing her to wake up. "Good morning Miss Diana." she said, "Good morning Akko," I had replied. I remembered that she had not given a name to both the pup and the kitten.
"Hey Akko, you never really gave your pets a name, why not do it now?" I said as she pets the still sleeping kitten and the drowsy puppy. "Can I? No one ever gave me a chance, and no one really calls me by my name." I nodded my head towards her as she said the last sentence. "Then, I'll name the kitten Masshiro and the puppy Shiro." Both names were in Japanese and both pets lick Akko's cheek. I smiled and gave Akko a pet on her head, before telling her to get dress. "Today let's bring you to see the school, you were attending, shall we?" I ask Akko. She looked at me then she looked at the ground as though wanting to say yes, however her fear made her hesitate.
We headed down to the dining table for breakfast, Akko held my hand as we headed down. She kept fiddling with my fingers along the way. Aunt Daryl raised an eyebrow as we arrived. I soon realized the reason, why I was smiling which was a rare thing. After my mother's death, I hardly smiled, even when hearing my mother's favorite song or watching my cartoon. We sat down and waited for Anna to serve us breakfast. Breakfast was scrambled egg and sausages with a piece of garlic bread on the side. Akko looks at the garlic bread weirdly, as though there was poison. I remembered that since she forgot everything, she doesn't even remember what food tasted like other than stale bread. She pokes at it before bringing it towards her mouth and taking a bite.
Her eyes shine as she chewed and soon she started gobbling down the bread, I giggled when Aunt Daryl said "Akko! Eat your food slowly otherwise you are going to cho-EEE!" she suddenly shrieks mid-sentence. I looked under the table and food Shiro sniffing at her and Masshiro walking slowly towards Akko before jumping on Akko's lap. "Shiro, come here." I heard Akko said and Shiro turned away from Aunt Daryl and ran towards Akko with its tail wagging. I saw Anna placing some scrambled eggs in the pup's bowl and poured a bit of milk for the kitten. "When did those things get here!" Aunt Daryl asked as she used a napkin to cover her nose. I realized why she had done such a thing, she was allergic to the fur. But I smiled and looked at her, 'Learn to live with it, it's for Akko.'
I told Akko to eat her food quickly as I finished up and went to get my bag for class. She nodded her head and ate slightly slower than the first time but still too fast for Aunt's Daryl liking. I grabbed Akko a red leather jacket from my closet, I'm sure the leather had begin to collect dust since it has been a while since I wore it. As it was becoming too small for me. I grabbed Akko an old bag of mine and an old wallet both of which were red in color. I place Akko's ID in the wallet and some money as well in case she wanted to buy something. I grabbed a pencil, eraser, and a drawing pad for her to draw in case she gets bored. As I walked out of the room, I saw Akko trying to make Shiro wear a small red shirt, while Masshiro wore a red dress. It was adorable but I never bought clothes for both animals before so I wondered where she got them from.
I called Akko and we walk to the car with a leash in hand and Shiro trotting behind. We got Shiro into the car and Akko into the car seat and I got into the car seat and I drove us to the school. Akko held onto Shiro and the puppy's tail wag with excitement. Akko got her hands on the radio and she did the same as the last time. I decided to bring up our marriage "Akko...", I said and she looked at me and I continued "Do you know when we are getting married?" "No, I have no recollection of when it is," she said and I simply hummed. Our marriage was actually in 3 weeks time, I'm not sure if she will even regain most of her memories.
Akko's POV
I wanted my memories to return, I truly do. But if my mind blocks them out, should I truly force it. Suddenly, I saw a memory back when I was six. That man I called sir he had grabbed my things from the room I shared with young miss. He dragged me to the basement and threw my things into the room and said in his booming voice and by this memory my head was hurting, I grabbed my head and the memory carried on. Showing me how much the man hated me, how he pulled a whip on a six year old child. How he took all her toys and clothes away and everything fun to her. Only leaving her two old grey clothes and a room with no where to sleep but the hard rock floor. Always locking her in the room during meal time never letting her have anything the other had. My memories flooded my mind. He never fed me for the first few days of locking me in the room. No matter how much I begged, his answer was shut up. I kept asking myself why as a child why was I mistreated.
The first time he whipped me was on my six birthday and instead of celebrating with my family and receiving new toys and gifts, I was whipped and kicked around and even given a black eye. Forgetting what love felt like from the one who had passed a month before her granddaughters' six birthday. Children in my kinder-garden were to stay away from me. No one wanted to be friends with me, only my sister. I got jealous of her and stopped talking to her, she told father and mother about it as she felt a bit sad. But instead of just telling me why I was wrong, I was punished immediately. My sister didn't even know the truth, she just thought I was extremely clumsy, that's where all the bruises over me. My parents just told her that I was extremely clumsy and that she should not play with as I disgusting. Everyday when we both got home from school, she would always receive a new toy and I would just receive punishment.
When I asked for something like a simple pencil, they punish me, however, when young miss ask for anything, she receives it. We were twins yet we were treated differently. The pain from being tortured came into my mind causing my body to feel at least 12 to 13 years of torture. When she scored lower than me in a test mother and father tells her to try harder. Instead of praising me for my results, they accuse me of cheating as I was useless and stupid so I shouldn't be scoring better than my sister. The words thrown at me for years cut off my emotions, and my way of thinking. Even if I added effort they still wouldn't look at me the way they looked at her and they wouldn't treat me the same so I gave up and did as told.
More memories flooded my mind but by that time I was too tired and became unconscious. What I never realized was that I was crying and Diana had drove us to a hospital.
Next day
When I woke up, my eyes fluttered under the light and I see a white ceiling above my head. I slowly sat up and see Diana next to me, just like the time I was out of my jail cell in the clan's house. I slowly moved her fringe from her face, waking her up along the way. When she finally realized I was awake, she got up and hugged me. I smiled and said "It's good to see you again...Diana." the moment her name came out of my mouth she hugged even tighter and said "You...you remember me, do you remember everything?" I nodded my head and gave her sad smile. She got down on one knee and pulled out a red box from her pocket and said "Atsuko Kagari, I know we have only known each other for three months and I know your life has a lot of troughs and crest. You went through torture and you survived through them, when you met me you lacked the sense of humor and love and you had everything taken from you. But you were so brave, to survive this long so I ask you from this day forth, Will you make me the happiest woman in the world?" and opened the box and showed me a diamond ring. I cried and held my hands to my mouth as I never thought anyone would ever ask me to marry such a hated child and an un-pure person.
"Yes... Yes I will marry you." I said and gave her a big hug. She grabbed me by the side of my face and gave me a small kiss on my lips, I smiled, this time i kissed her back. I breathed in and said "I want to report my father and grandfather.", Diana smiled and immediately pulled out her phone. I smiled as she acted all CEO like in front of me and how cool she looked. There was Shiro whimpering at the side of the bed trying to get on top and I chuckled and carry him up. Diana came back and sat beside me and said "Babe, shall we go pick out a wedding dress?" "What did you call me?" I asked.
"Babe?" she said with a questioning look. I blushed and look away. "Why did you gimme such a cute nickname?" I ask her and she smiled and said "Because you are my baby and you are extremely cute." When she finish her call she sat beside me, holding my hand and I looked at her wondering if I should tell her, my childhood. The pain I was force to go through. Maybe, just maybe she would reconsider marrying me. "Diana... I'm going to tell you something and you have to listen carefully." Diana nodded her head and I continued.
"There's a tradition in my clan that when twins are born, the oldest child becomes the heir whether or not he or she is pretty or handsome. But when Akari and I were born, my grandfather was not there to see who was the first born child which made it easy for my parents to lie to him about the actual heir. I am and still is the actual firstborn of the kagari clan and also the second heir to the clan should my sister die or fail to meet her duty which will never happen. My father favoured my sister the moment he saw her and so did my mother. But my grandmother treasured the both of us. She treated us like equals but my mother and father had told my grandfather that the first born was Akari. Grandfather favoured Akari over me. They always praised her. When we both attained the same thing they praise her and tell me try harder. I would do as told I tried harder, harder than Akari to please them. It was as though Akari was someone with a different looking face. They always told Akari what an adorable child she was, how she looked like a child model but when they look at me they did call me ugly and fat or useless. The words became so stuck in me that I ate lesser than what Akari did. I became thinner and thinner and as a child at the age of four you wouldn't really know that you were endangering your life just by eating very little. On our fifth birthday they each all gave Akari a gift but the only gift I got was from my grandmother and of course she gave one to Akari too. We both received a jacket but of different colour. But without my grandmother knowing they took my jacket and gave it Akari telling her it was just another simple gift from them. I knew it was a simple gift to her but to me it was a really special gift."
"A few months after our birthday, Our grandmother was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and there was no way to cure her. They blamed it on me for causing my grandmother stress because I was a needy child, a child that kept asking for more things. Their words made me feel at fault and I myself, still till this day blame myself for her death. A few weeks before our birthday she brought me and Akari out to buy us a gift. I told her there was no need to get me a gift but she insisted and told me she just realized that I never wore the jacket she got me the year before. I told her that Akari loved it so I gave it to her but in honesty, father stole it from me. Akari notice this and said she wanted to buy me jacket and I told her wait till my birthday and she did. That day all I got from my grandmother was a simple box pencil case which I still use to this very day. She passed away a week later. Akari cried and I cried too. But immediately after the burning of her body and placing the jar of ashes in the prayer area Grandfather dragged me down by the hair to the basement area. he just fling me into the basement and locked the door, and left. A six year old me crying and banging on the door begging to be set free and I cried myself to sleep. For the next few days and by few I meant three to four days he didn't feed me anything nice just stale bread. I guess Akari sort of just forgot about me, since she never tried to look for me, I'm not sure."
Diana's POV
I listened intensely as Akko told me her past. I couldn't understand why they would mistreat Akko she was such a special child. Akko continued but with tears flowing down her face, saying "When he finally let me out I looked like a bag of bones for a young child and it was our birthday too, Grandfather had dragged me to 'celebrate' our birthday because Akari asked so. She looked at my boney body and asked our father what happened, father just said I refused to eat. I didn't even get to eat a slice of cake on that day and the cake was filled with vanilla the flavour which Akari and I loved so much. I got jealous the fact that all had cake and I didn't. Afterwards, they went shopping but I wasn't allowed to buy anything. I just sat and watch them ask Akari what she wanted but they didn't ask me. I sat on a chair waiting for them, watching the happy smiles. But for some reason I didn't get mad at them, sure I got jealous but I didn't get mad. Akari went into a clothing store after she asked my father for some money. A few minutes later she brought me the jacket you saw me wearing when you first met me."
Akko stopped and took another deep breathe and I took my napkin out and wiped her tears. Once more she continued "It was a medium size for teenage girls so it was too big for me at that time and still is. When we got home, Akari told me to meet her at her room, but I didn't know why she said 'her' room when it was ours. But when the clock strike nine, which was our bed time I was pulled to the basement and my grandfather said ' From now on you will sleep in here, the room belongs to Akari and you are not allowed to enter it. Do you understand!' he said it as a rhetorical question and I nod my head."
"But at midnight, when I was sure everyone in the house was asleep, I sneaked to Akari's room and asked her what she wanted and she handed me the jacket and said happy birthday and I replied the same and went back to the basement. It was extremely cold that night so I was grateful to have a jacket to shield me from the cold as it was big enough to cover my entire body. When my grandfather came in the next morning he was furious to see me hugging the jacket and he kicked me, right in the stomach, do you know what he said, he screamed actually, but the words still vivid in my mind ' THAT'S NOT YOURS! IT BELONGS TO AKARI' and he tried to take it back. I fought for it and screamed in my little voice, ' Sister gave it to me.' and he let go of it and huffed and puffed and instead of walking away, he kicked me all over my body. I had a black eye thanks to him. That night I learned my very first lesson, nothing belonged to me."
I pulled Akko Akko into a hug and slight smooth her hair out as she continued her story. "I went to school the next day and the children laughed at me for having a black eye, the teacher held an ice pack to my eye and my sister was worried for me. That day a nice young lady around our age came to give us a small musical performance, it was Chariot, the Shiny Chariot. The way her fingers moved on her guitar shined in my eyes, she ways so beautiful. I wanted to be just like her but I know I can never fulfill my dream. Not now not ever. When I went back home and prepared for dinner, my grandfather told me that I'll never eat with them ever again and that I was only allowed to shower with just water which was ice cold and a small bottle of soap. And you know out of fear I did as told."
"You don't have to continue if you don't want to," I told Akko as she took in deeper breathe. She shook her head and continued once more, "For 13 years i did as told and four years after my freedom got taken away, I met Amanda. She knew about my torture because she was always the one feeding me. She always gave me more bread and sometimes she sneak an apple to me. I was happy to have a friend like her but my grandfather found out and he blame me for being a bad influence on Amanda, for the first time he hanged me up in chains and stripped me of my clothes and he took my virginity away from me. It hurt like hell. I couldn't move for a few days and I was bruised inside and out. Who knew that being raped would hurt so bad. From then on my life was always the same, people deciding for me, whether I get to eat or not, and the course I got to take at university. Honestly I was only supposed to the business course but I badly wanted to become an idol like Chariot so I secretly asked the headmistress to let me join the music course. When grandfather found out let just say I didn't go un-punished and if you want to know when I started self-harming myself it was about three month after my six birthday. I found a pen knife in one of the cabinets and took it out and cut myself, it felt pain at first but it was nothing compared to the three months of torture and overtime I began to feel so free when doing it."
"Until I met you that's how I have been living, and sometimes if they didn't want to see me they would kick me out the house and I would sleep on the streets or at a playground and that's mostly my life story." she finished. It was dark by the time she finished her story. I hugged her and the tears from my eyes flowed down like a water fountain, and she cleared my tears and said "Do you know what's the best thing God gave me?" I shook my head and she smile at me and said "You. You brought the true meaning of love back to me, you treated me as a human rather then a slave and you helped me in more times of need then I ever could count. So Diana Cavendish, I say this from the bottom of my heart and even my soul, Thank you." she smiled brightly at me and I told Akko "I don't deserve such a sweet fiancée sometimes," and I lifted her head up by the chin and slowly brought her in for a kiss and soon enough I was able to let my tongue roam in her mouth.
I released her and she smile and whisper a quick 'I love you' before giving me a peck and I could clearing see the pink flush on her face. I smiled and lay her back into a sitting position and left to make a quick phone call. As soon as I was out of the room I dialed Akari's number as fast as possible and the moment she picked up her phone I said "Akari, your sister would like to report you grandfather and your father. What do you say are willing to be my witness?" "Sure why not if it means freeing Akko and I have been thinking about it for a while." she replied. "Great I'll see you at Wednesday's Café with Akko on Monday." and the phone call ended and I went back to spend time with Akko.
When dinner came
The nurse entered and served Akko dinner at 7 pm which was only an hour after I made the phone call. Akko stuffed her face with the food and once in a while she gave me a bite. But I told Akko to just eat everything for herself, as I called Anna to bring me food. But I must say the food the hospital serve wasn't very nice. But I could worry about that later, right now all I should worry for is Akko. The doctor told me Akko could be discharge in the morning and once he informed me of everything I needed to know, I dismissed him. When I told Akko the good news she shouted a loud 'yay' and I giggled and reminded her we were in a hospital and she immediately covered her mouth. I smiled at her and clean her mouth from the sauce that littered all over her mouth. Once Akko finished her dinner, she rubbed her eyes tiredly and Shiro looked pretty tired too from playing with Akko, so I left Shiro on Akko's bed and made sure brushed Akko her teeth before bringing her back to bed for her to sleep.
Before I left Akko grabbed me by the shirt and asked shyly "Could you hold me while I sleep, Please?" I smiled and sat down on the bed and laid beside Akko as she closed her eyes while holding Shiro and me as she went off to dreamland. Anna came by in about ten minutes and I sat at the table finishing up most of my assignments and work for the hospital. I looked at Akko and smiled at how she snuggled towards Shiro as though it made her fell safe and protected from all the evil in the world. Was that how she always slept with me when we slept in the same bed, back at the mansion? I turned back towards the paper load on my table and quickly finished them.
Midnight about 1am
Once more Akko could not sleep through the night without waking up from nightmares. She woke up screaming and kicking about. This time the words were "GO AWAY! GO AWAY! I DIDN'T ASK TO BE BORN! SO GO AWAY!" I woke up to her screaming and I sat beside her immediately, I tried to get her to calm down but to no avail. I hugged her and soothed her back and soon enough she calmed down but this time she opened up to me. She told me "Diana, this time was worse then the last. I couldn't take it. Akari hated me and so did you and this time it was because I didn't allow you to arrest my father." I held her even closer. This poor girl even with her memory back, she is still afraid of being left behind. Though, even if I tried to leave her, the moment she begs me, I'll turn around and run back and hug her.
I kissed her and I'm not sure if she was shock or not, but she kissed me back. The kisses got deeper and time seems to stop moving. She opened her mouth and allowed me to enter. I let my tongue roam in her mouth, and she tasted like strawberries. I could do this all day, but a human body required air. We pulled apart and within mere seconds our lips were back together. I began to take off Akko's clothing, first her hospital gown, I pulled away and looked into her eyes, asking for permission to continue to finish what we started.
Akko's POV
Diana looks at me as though asking for permission to continue or asking me whether she was allowed to continue. I smiled and nodded my head and let her kiss me once more. I place her hands on my side and let her push me back onto the bed. She begin to nip me at my neck and I let out small gasp and small quiet moans as she got closer to the sensitive place on my neck. She took off my bra and kneaded my breasts. My nipples begin to get harder, this was the first time I did it and felt good and not afraid to get pregnant, I don't have to be force to take it up my mouth, just let Diana take control. I didn't know doing it with someone we care about, will feel so good. Soon enough she slipped my harden bud into her mouth and her mouth feels so warm.
The warmth from her mouth made me feel so good, this was time someone treated me with such care. She made feel Love like no other. The room was indeed cold, and it did leave my skin covered in goosebumps but the warmth coming from Diana's body. I held onto Diana after a while Diana's hands moved to the side and down below. She looks up at me asking for permission to put it in, and by it I mean her dick. I nodded my head and she slowly took off her pants and underwear. Her penis stood up tall and proud. I was still scared but I know that Diana will take care of me no matter what and I know the moment I said stop she would, I guess Diana knew what I was thinking and said "Tell me if you want me to stop, I will stop at once." and she gave me light kisses. I held on to her body as she lined her penis with mouth of my vagina.
She slowly slide her dick in me and I moan out loud. I could feel the tip slowly move into my pussy and despite fear and anxiety running through me I knew I could trust Diana. She moved in slowly and for the first it felt so good as I stretch.
Diana's POV
I was worried Akko wasn't comfortable but she let me carry on and oh how tight her pussy was and how much I wanted to knot. She moaned out loud which told me she was feeling good, I slowly begin to move in and out. Slow and steady and I increased the spped a little as I gave her a kiss on her lips. My hand squeezing her nipple and my other hand on her just kneading her breast like dough. It was extremely soft and it fit right into the palm of my hands. And soon enough she whispered into my ear "You can go faster you know." this very line made me full of list and I couldn't control myself. And I pump into her as gently as I could but still very fast. Soon enough, I smelled a sweet pheromone in the air coming from Akko, so I asked Akko, "Akko, let's have a family, together, what do you say?" she nodded her head. I smiled
I push in as deep as I was allowed. She was so tight, it got me even harder. She moan out loudly and realised that was my favourite sound from now on. I pumped into her faster, soon I couldn't take it anymore and I whispered into her ear, "Cum with me." I'm sure that pushed her over the edge and she used her hand to cover her mouth as my cum poured into her like a fountain. But I didn't stop my hips as I continue moving my hips and soon enough I felt her cum a second time and I couldn't hold back and I came into her a second time her belly begin to fill up with my cum. I smiled as Akko fell unconscious. And I rubbed her slight small bump of her belly.
