Loyalty achived through fear and volence is a road to destruction at the hands of your subjects
Chapter 10: Gates of Shikei
Akeno had absolutely no clue how much time had passed since angel had robbed her of the ability to see and hear anything however long it had been at some point Akeno felt a warm hand touch her check making her jump a little.
And a moment later Akeno was able to hear and see again only to be greeted by the face of the young man called Ikushuka right above her own with Angel standing beside the bed but for some reason Akeno felt as if she had seen him somewhere before.
"You did well Angel you already prepared everything in her size I presume?" Ikushuka asked and Angel nodded pointing with her right hand towards a long table that had several clothes in various colors lying on it.
"Good release her and I will pick out a few outfits for her in the meantime" Ikushuka ordered and got off of the bed and walked over to the table with the clothes as Angel turned towards Akeno.
Angel opened all eight restraints on Akenos body but left them lying on the bed before she helped Akeno sit up "Master do you wish for me to remove the gag as well?" Angel asked barely above a whisper but she was heard.
"I will think about it for now leave it where it is" Ikushuka replied before returning his attention to the clothing in front of him and a few minutes later he had picked out several outfits a few of them rather tame in contrast to what Akeno was wearing right now.
There was a maid outfit, a bunny suit with fishnet stockings and several others "Take these and have her show me every single one and remove the gag" Ikushuka ordered handing the outfits over to Angel who bowed her head once before dragging Akeno behind a curtain.
Angel placed the clothes on a small shelf before turning towards Akeno again "hold still" Angel whispered and a moment later the gag was removed allowing Akeno to move her jaw again.
"I will help you dress up in each of those and once you got one on you will show master Ikushuka and remember only come back here once he gives you the order to" Angel whispered the last part as she picked up the first outfit.
Angel really helped with the whole dress up thing as some of the outfits were just weird to put on as they had several parts that had to be put over each other in a certain way.
Most of the outfits Akeno wore seemed to earn the approval of Ikushuka but two got Akeno a face of disgust letting Angel know that she was to put them aside which she did once Akeno got changed into another outfit.
It took them over three hours to go through each outfit Ikushuka had picked out but that was the moment Ikushuka walked over to the bed again right now Akeno was behind the curtain only wearing a very small two piece bikini and Angel was waiting for her next orders from Ikushuka.
Ikushuka seemed to mumble something to himself as he looked through a completely silver metal chest until he found what he was looking for as he pulled a gray duffel bag out of the chest before walking towards Angel and handed the bag over to her.
"Get her ready in this and have her wait in this room until Kenri arrives to guide her to my room understood?" Ikushuka ordered and Angel bowed signaling without words that she understood her orders as Ikushuka left the room.
Angel went behind the curtain with the bag and opened it on the table inside of the bag she found a pair of cat ears and a tail but the difference was they were both in a light ruby red.
The same went for the rest of the outfit that consisted of a pair of underwear that was a pretty normal black swimsuit except that the bottom had a hole in the back and simple red sports shirt and shorts the shorts had the same hole as the swimsuit bottom and both shirt and shorts were made out of the same material as the body suits the other two students had worn when Akeno last saw them except that it was a dark shade of red.
But that wasn´t everything there was in the bag as Angel handed a pair of gloves and thighs to Akeno in the same light ruby red as her hair.
Angel simply handed each piece of clothing to Akeno who didn´t protest in the slightest and put on one piece after the other but once she had everything on it became apparent just how much the outfit seemed to be glued to Akenos skin as it did a very good job of showing off her trained body as even Angel had a slight blush on her face.
The last thing Akeno had to put on was the tail that was the same as the first as it was a butt plug but for some reason it was a lot heavier than the first it took her a few minutes to get used to it as the shape was very different from the first.
"Alright just put this on and then wait here Kenri brought you something to eat its waiting for you over there and for both of our sakes try not to anger master Ikushuka" Angel said holding out the cat ears and the collar that had a red fake ruby handing at the front and Akeno put both on without protest.
"One other thing I should tell you Master Ikushuka chose that outfit for a reason so you are to act like what you are dressed as" Angel added before she started cleaning up the various clothes that were lying everywhere in the room.
Akeno had to think about that one for a moment as she slowly walked over to the small table where two plates stood with one plate standing on the table and the other standing on the floor the one on the floor having some food on it while the other was empty so Akeno got down on all four and started eating without using her hands.
Angel continued to clean up in the room dumping the outfits Ikushuka had liked on one pile while she folded those he didn´t like and returned them to their shelf but as Angel turned around to leave the room she saw Akeno lying on the bed curled into a ball like a cat.
"Seems like it´s already working" Angel grinned as she left the room closing and locking the door behind her but as soon as she was alone in the room Akeno opened her eyes again.
´This guy deserves a fate worse than death´ Akeno thought as she started to look around the room but other than the red leather door there was no visible exit but that didn´t mean there was not something useful in the room.
What Akeno had immediately seen was that every single room and even the hallways had been watched by cameras and most of the doors were guarded or locked making an escape difficult but not impossible as long as you knew what you had to do.
"For now I won´t do anything but having to act like a cat bothers me a bit" Akeno mumbled as she lay down on the bed again and looked at the ceiling for a few minutes but with nothing better to do Akeno closed her eyes to take a short nap as she was really sleepy for some reason not noticing how her right arm and left leg got caught in the rope angel had used to tie her to the bed.
Akeno had no idea how long her nap had been but at some point she was startled awake by the door getting flung open hitting the wall with a loud crash and in her half awake state Akeno got tangled in the rope and crashed to the floor as she tried to get up.
Kenri stood in the door with two guards dressed in black suits but what they saw in the dressing room had them surprised a bit, the girl Hanin had brought to them was wearing the clothes Ikushuka had picked out that was not something new for them.
What was new was just how much the young girl was acting like a real cat as she wildly flailed her arms and legs around that were caught in a red rope that must have been lying on the bed before.
The three men stared for a full minute until they remembered why they were here as Kenri clapped his hands together "now now hold still so we can get you out of that" he simply said as he approached Akeno who slowly stopped flailing her limbs around.
"That Angel always cleans everything up but forgets the most basic things after using them" the old butler mumbled as he started to untangle the rope from Akeno until she was free again.
What did surprise the old butler was how Akeno stayed on all four and started rubbing her head on his side all while the girl was slightly purring just like a real cat.
"The two of you keep an eye on her I need to check something" Kenri growled as he attached a leash to Akenos collar and handed it over to one of the men in black suits before walking over to the two empty plates.
Kenri took something from his breast pocket and did something with both plates before he turned towards Akeno and the two guards with an absolute livid expression on his face but the girl didn´t even react as she just tilted her head to the side.
"Inform the young master that his new pet needed to be taken to the infirmary for a checkup and will join him later tonight" Kenri simply said but that was the moment they heard a simple "thump" like noise and as they looked at the girl she was lying on the floor causing the old butler to crouch down and put his hand on the girls neck.
"Take her to the infirmary immediately I will inform the young master myself" Kenri ordered and the guards obeyed as one picked up Akeno in his arms while the other opened the door and a moment after they left Kenri left as well.
Kenri went straight to the dining room but before he entered he adjusted his tie and composed himself as he entered the room no one paid him any mind only when he approached Ikushuka did someone notice him.
"What is it?" Ikushuka asked taking a sip from a wine glass as the old butler bowed down to whisper something in his ear "your new pet needed to be taken to the infirmary as she seemed rather sick" Kenri whispered causing Ikushuka to set his glass down on the table.
"Is it the same thing that has happened before?" Ikushuka asked his voice holding barely restrained anger "Yes but this time I managed to find prove that something was mixed into the food that I brought to the room and I checked it before doing so and the new pet had nothing on her person I made sure of that" Kenri explained as Ikushukas face twisted into an angry snarl.
Get Angel to the infirmary and have her meet me there" Ikushuka simply said as he got up and stormed out of the room leaving behind confused guards and maids as the old butler walked out anther door.
Oleg Ikushuka was normally a very patient and cunning young man but right now he was blinded by rage as he ran down the hallways of his mansion until he reached the doors to the infirmary and without waiting a fraction of a second he threw the double doors open.
A few of the people inside looked at him startled but they did not interest him no he was only interested in the group of three people that stood around a curtain talking with each other so he made his way over to him.
One of the doctors noticed his approach and stepped in his way "I´m sorry Mister Ikushuka but the girl needs her rest right now" "No worries there doctor I only wanted to learn how she is doing?" Oleg simply replied as he stopped walking just short of reaching the curtain around the bed.
The young doctor sighed as he took a clipboard from one of his colleagues "We had to cool down her rather high fever and flush out the drug from her system but once she wakes up she should be able to receive your training as long as she gets enough rest tonight" the doctor explained.
"Thank you doctor is there anything else?" Oleg asked but the doctor simply shook his head just as two other people entered the infirmary causing Oleg to look and his face to turn into a frown of pure fury.
Kenri stood behind Angel as Oleg approached them but everyone else started backing away from the two as Oleg stopped right before Angel.
The sound of a slap and a scream of pain were heard as Angel crashed to the floor after Oleg hit her cheek with his hand but Oleg grabbed Angel by the hair and pulled her face up despite her pleading for him to stop so that she was looking right in his eyes.
"You seem to have forgotten just what it means to follow my orders" Oleg hissed dropping Angel to the floor before getting up and addressing his butler "have someone take her to Miss Jujin tell her that she is to stay for another week" Oleg simply ordered getting a bow from his butler.
"Master why?" Angel asked her voice quivering "what is so special about that girl you are willing to" but before Angel could say another word Oleg grabbed her by the hair again causing her to yelp in pain.
"That is none of your business now enjoy your lessons" Oleg hissed in anger and a moment later Angel had her hands restrained behind her back as she was lead out of the infirmary by two guards that grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Kenri stay with the new girl at all times and bring her to my room as soon as she can be moved safely" Oleg ordered and the old butler did as he was told while Oleg left the Infirmary as the cries of mercy of Angel still echoed down the hallways until they suddenly cut off.
Oleg made his way back to his room and once he was inside he leaned against the door and allowed his body to slide down until he was sitting on the ground "just why does this girl look so much like her" Oleg mumbled as he took a black metallic pocket watch on a chain from the inside pocket of his suits jacket.
Oleg looked at the watch for a moment before opening it and inside the lid of the watch was a picture of him and a girl with short brown hair and ocean blue eyes as they both stood onboard a mighty warship.
"You were supposed to be mine once you became of age but you and your entire family disappeared without leaving the slightest clue" Oleg whispered as tears started to fall from his eyes until he put the watch away again.
"And then that old fuck just had to have this kind of joint that he forced on me just so he can have all the time and money in the world" Oleg hissed in anger as he remember how his mother married another man but died a few years later leaving his stepfather in charge of him.
They had only married so that her mother could get more political influence with her company and Oleg's stepfather to have access to the massive fortune his mother owned but he was more interested in several private Islands his mother owned and on one such Island Oleg was trapped together with what was known to the officials and government as a high class breeder for large animals but behind the scenes it was an illegal slave market that offered anything for the right price.
Oleg balled his fists punching the ground several times in anger before he got up and got undressed before entering the shower in his bathroom to wash away the painful memories or at least numb them enough as nothing would heal those scars.
Kenri watched over the young girl for several hours but just as it neared midnight the girl stirred awake causing the doctors to ask her some questions but the girl only answered by nodding or shaking her head in response.
"Well the girl is healthy and the drug is out of her system but she needs some rest but as we both know that the young masters orders are absolute please remind him about this" the doctor said as the girl was getting redressed in her cat outfit behind the curtain.
"I will remind Master Ikushuka about her condition once we reach his room" the old butler assured the doctor just as the girl walked out from behind the curtain and Kenri took hold of her leash and lead her out of the room.
The old butler lead Akeno down several hallways until they arrived before a black wooden double door that had two lions carved into both doors and a moment later the old butler softly knocked on the door.
A moment later one of the doors opened and Ikushuka looked at his butler questioningly but in response Kenri held up the leash that was still connected to Akenos collar.
Ikushuka took hold of the leash with a smile before looking at his butler again "please remember young master the girl needs absolute rest tonight" Kenri added before he bowed and went down the hallway again.
Without a word Ikushuka tugged on the leash and Akeno slowly walked into the room and Ikushuka closed the door behind her and locked it while Akeno looked around the room.
Aside from a massive bed that stood against a wall with two book shelves on either side of the bed there were three other doors with one probably leading to the bathroom?
The floor was a simple fluffy red carpet but around the bed was what looked like a circle and under the bed was something as well but before Akeno could look at the room anymore she was pushed to the ground.
"I don´t think Angel told you but you are a cat right now depending on your outfit you are to act also add Nyaa to the end of your sentences understood?" Ikushuka asked as Akeno looked at him a bit surprised.
"Yes Master Nyaa" Ikushuka seems happy with that as Akeno followed him to the bed on her hands and knees "you will sleep over there tonight I already prepared a small bed for you" Ikushuka simply said pointing towards the end of the bed where an oversized cat cushion was on the ground with a simple blanket.
Akeno laid down on the cushion only to find that it was rather soft and the blanket was just thick enough to keep her warm not that it was all that cold in the room "sleep well tonight" Ikushuka added before getting into bed as well.
"By the way what´s your name?" Ikushuka asked right after he extinguished the lights in the room "I…I do not remember Master Nyaa" Akeno replied sadness clear to hear in her voice "I do remember arriving here and meeting you but it hurts if I try to remember anything else Nyaa" Akeno added curling into a ball and covering herself with the blanket.
"Get some rest tomorrow evening I have to start to train you" Ikushuka mumbled lying back down and with nothing better to do Akeno did the same but both of them were thinking if they had meet somewhere before until they fell into a dreamless sleep.
A group of four ships was making its way through the south pacific one was the HMS Vanguard British fast battleship another was the French Battleship Richelieu and the last was an all too familiar Japanese Yamato going by the name of Hiroshima and one American aircraft carrier the U.S.S Enterprise.
These four ships are the current homes of three girls but right now they had to use their ships to escort the aircraft carrier as it was loaded with supplies for their base.
On the first turret of the Hiroshima sat a female Japanese Caucasian with long midnight black hair and sapphire blue eyes.
She had a full grey samurai demon mask lying beside her she was wearing a silver grey robe with a hood, a grey belt like obi, her right arm being a black robotic arm prosthetic and half of her right leg up towards her kneecap being a black robotic leg prosthetic as well.
While underneath her robe is a black naval uniform undershirt, black Kevlar vest, and black Kevlar gloves on her hands, grey naval cargo pants, and black combat boots.
This girl was known to her friends as Taylor Toshiba and those of her enemies that knew of her existence called her Nemesis to the right of the Hiroshima was the Vanguard.
And on the bridge of the British warship sat a Caucasian British-American female with long midnight black hair on the left side of her head and auburn-red hair on the right side with golden blonde hair in the middle and emerald green eyes.
She wears a dark blue demon kabuki mask with silver grey metal mouth guard piece and silver blue lines throughout the mask, a brown and grey cloak with hood plus a silver blue belt like obi around her waist while underneath is a grey undershirt, brown and black Kevlar vest, black Kevlar gloves, dark grey cargo pants, and brown combat boots.
This girl was known to her friends as Elizabeth Nomura but her real family knows her as Corvina Marlowe and her enemies at least those that begged enough for their lives to be spared know her as Tyrant.
And onboard the battleship Richelieu was a Caucasian Arabic female with violet and silver white hair with golden yellow streaks on the left side of her hair and silver grey streaks on the right side of her hair and silver grey eyes.
She wears a Mengu-style metal mask with a black headdress, a golden white burka with a silver belt like obi around the waist, a pair of white angelic wings decal with a golden crown in the center on the forehead of the headdress, and two blood red dragons with sapphire blue eyes on the sleeves of the burka while underneath is a white naval undershirt, black kelvar vest with extra pouches, grey kelvar combat gloves, naval blue trousers, and brown kelvar combat boots.
This girl was simply known to her friends as Rena Izayoi and the very few enemies that survived her wrath call her Archangel the four ships were simply cruising around but for some reason they felt as if someone they had known for years was nearby.
The three girls paid it no mind as they continued their journey back home for several hours but that was when they spotted something as the night sky gave way to dawn.
There ahead of them were two cruisers of Japanese design and one ship that was a lot larger but that wasn´t why they were interested in these ships no it was because both cruisers and whatever the third ship was had the same flag as the Hiroshima except that their flags looked brand new for some reason.
Taylor decided to call out to the group of three ships via radio after Elizabeth and Aria got on the same frequency to listen in Taylor had to hail the two cruisers a second time before the voice of a girl or rather young woman answered them.
"To the unknown group of battleships what is your reason for hailing us?" was the simple question and Taylor responded "We wish to know the reason your ships have the same flag as our flagship flying from their masts".
It took a few seconds before the young woman answered "the flag is the only symbol of our clan that has survived to this day unfortunately we do not have the time right now to explain anything to you seeing as one of our own is missing" the soft voice of another girl explained.
"We understand is there a way we might be able to speak with you in the future?" Taylor asked and a moment later she got the number of a satellite phone and right after that the two groups of ships changed direction and started heading away from each other none of them realizing that their questions would stay unanswered for a long time to come.
Onboard a modern stealth frigate that was painted completely black a young girl with auburn brown hair in a ponytail and auburn brown eyes was having a dream she was flying above the world but the sky was a sinister purple and the water of the ocean was a ruby red.
In several places the girl saw what looked like the remains of destroyed ships but their color was a pitch black and for some reason the young girl felt drawn towards a simple looking Japanese heavy cruiser except that this one was standing still on the red ocean.
Shirayuri landed on the deck of the unknown cruiser "just where am I?" Shirayuri whispered to herself but what she didn´t hear were the footsteps that approached her.
"Young Shirayuri it is time that you learn of the truth that was lost to you in your younger years of life" Fukushui spoke startling Shirayuri quite a bit as the heavy cruiser started moving on the red ocean with the purple sky.
