Chapter 12: An Unclear Past
Onboard a modern gray stealth frigate stood a Caucasian Japanese Male with short black hair and blackish brown eyes. He was wearing a dark black jacket while underneath was a naval white uniform shirt, a black captain´s cap on top of his head, black formal pants, and black formal shoes.
"Sir we have picked up a transmission from Admiral Akagawa" one of his crewmen reported handing a sheet of paper to the man who started to read it but as he read his face twisted into a wide grin that almost seemed to split his face in half.
The man grabbed a microphone and sat down in his chair on the bridge "Listen up everyone this is the captain speaking we have just received a new mission from our admiral. We will be joined by four other ships of our fleet and head towards a location where we are to capture a Red Crow that is all" the captain explained before he looked towards the crew on the bridge.
"Change course. Full speed ahead we got no time to waste" the captain hollered after he stood up from his chair "Yes Captain Kabuto everyone replied before the ship started to pick up speed and changed course and an hour later they were joined by four more of the modern stealth frigates in gray.
On the Pirate Island:
Akeno had to stay over four hours with Koshio and the old fashion designer who introduced herself as Miss Dezai after they took her measurements the two got to work with Koshio handling most of the things Miss Dezai needed.
And before Akeno knew what was going on her body was covered by various materials they even measured her head and how long her legs were before she was finally allowed to get dressed in her normal outfit again and leave as both Koshio and Miss Dezai continued to work feverishly.
Akeno simply strolled down the hallways of the building until she reached Ikushukas room so she knocked but after she got no answer she entered the room only to find that Ikushuka was nowhere in sight and after she checked the other two rooms she didn´t find him either.
That is until she heard the main door open again and as she whirled around she found a man in a white suit that reminded her more of a beached whale than anything else with four guards standing at the door behind him.
"You there where is that no good son of mine?" the man in the white suit hollered "I do not know" Akeno replied but the man in the white suit gave some kind of signal and two of the guards at his side rushed towards Akeno.
Akeno dodged out of the way as the first tried to grab her and the second she simply grabbed his arm before throwing him over her shoulder before slamming him into the floor but in the next instant the first one tried to grab her again but this time Akeno deflected his arms to the sides before punching him ten time in the chest and belly before he dropped to the floor gasping for air.
But a moment later Akeno saw the remaining two guards pull out their guns both being armed with a German HK-416 "You are a pet of my son but why were you able to defeat two of my guards I will never know" the man in the white suit mumbled as the two guards Akeno had fought with got up behind her groaning in pain.
"Restrain her and keep her here until I find that son of mine" the man in the white suit ordered as the two guards that were not aiming their guns at Akeno grabbed one of her arms each forcing them on her back in a police hold before dragging her over to the bed and handcuffing her to one of the bedposts.
The man in the white suit left the room with three of his guards following him while one of the men with his assault rifle sat down on a couch near the glass window setting down his assault rifle on the ground.
It was about five minutes later that the man in the white suit returned with Ikushuka, Kenri and his group of three guards the fourth that had been watching Akeno stood up from the couch and joined the other three guards as Ikushuka walked straight towards Akeno.
Ikushuka grabbed Akeno by the hair causing her to grit her teeth in pain as he looked straight into her eyes "is it true that you fought two of those guards?" Ikushuka hissed in anger pointing towards the four guards.
Akeno could only weakly nod as she tried to avoid Ikushukas gaze but with a sigh Ikushuka released her hair causing her head to drop a bit before she frightfully looked at Ikushuka that stood with his back turned towards her.
"I´m very sorry about these incidents father little Red didn´t know who you were and since I told her to keep an eye on the room she attacked once your two guards did" Ikushuka simply said as the man in the white suit was scratching his bearded chin.
"You know what you have to do. You will tell me what that girl is supposed to be to you since you obviously did not break her will as of yet" the man in the white suit replied handing something to Ikushuka before leaving the room with his four guards leaving Ikushuka and Kenri alone with Akeno.
Ikushuka wasn´t happy that was for sure as Akeno could easily see the anger in his eyes but it seemed to be only partly directed at her as he handed what looked like two black keys to Kenri "tie her to the usual place I have dinner with my father to attend to for now" Ikushuka simply ordered before leaving the room as well.
Kenri sighed before he approached Akeno and undid one of the handcuffs on her wrists but closed them once she stood up keeping her arms behind her back and approached the door that had been kept locked so far.
The old butler opened the door and pushed Akeno through it almost causing her to fall before closing the door behind him and flipping a switch to reveal the entire room, all walls and the floor of the room were built out of the same black stone.
On one side Akeno saw the bed with a red mattress but the bed was made out of black Iron and had various chains hanging from it along with several leather cuffs, right under the bed was a red carpet, along the other three walls were various shelves and drawers and the last wall was kept mostly empty or at least it looked like that to Akeno.
Kenri simply approached the empty wall and did something as a moment later a part of the wall turned around to reveal a wooden cross that was padded with red leather "You did so well until now" Kenri sighed as he went over to the wooden cross and took something from a small chest that stood beside it before approaching Akeno.
Kenri wrapped simple brown leather cuffs around Akenos ankles, thighs, upper arms and wrists after he removed the handcuffs before pushing her towards the wooden cross with her facing towards the wooden cross Kenri grabbed her arms and a moment later they were spread apart over her head and a moment later Kenri did the same with her legs.
With Akeno completely immobilized Kenri took a step back before he seemed to rummage through one of the shelves until he found what he was looking for and a moment later Akeno could no longer see anything other than darkness and before she could say another word Kenri pushed some kind of plastic stick between her lips and teeth securing it behind her head.
Kenri didn´t leave the room but he seemed to do something as he walked around a few more time before he sat down somewhere close to the door Akeno knew what probably was going to happen but for now she would endure it no matter what they did to her.
Onboard a Mogami light cruiser one day later:
Nomad was happy to be back with his squad and two of the girls but for now he was simply keeping watch on the bridge that is until the radio sparked to life so he went to the radio room.
"This is AS-two what is it HQ?" Nomad asked as he picked up the headset "We have information about the Island you might want to hear" Shirayuri replied from the other end "Alright what you got for us HQ?" Nomad asked keeping up the charade of being a radio operator of a blue mermaid task force.
"We have reports of at least eleven other ships that are heading towards the same locations as you are AS-two there are two groups one of five modern frigates and a group of six older ships with five battleships and one aircraft carrier" Shirayuri reported and Nomad wrote that part down.
"Understood HQ should we make contact with either fleet we will withdraw immediately" Nomad replied before he turned off the radio again and went back to the bridge to keep watch until everyone woke up in the morning again.
Back on the pirate Island five hours after Nomad had radio contact with Shirayuri:
Akenos entire body hurt Ikushuka had returned about an hour after Kenri tied her to the wooden cross and had started as he called it punishing her for what she did wrong.
He started by whipping her with a whip that was strong enough to tear apart Akenos clothes and once he was done with that he started spanking her before moving on to other methods of punishing her.
Ikushuka had continued for over four hours and had left her tied up on the wooden cross for the rest of the night by now Akeno had no idea what time it was but a while later she heard the door to the room open and someone gasp before Akeno felt someone undo her restraints.
But with the restraints no longer holding her body Akeno collapsed to the ground in exhaustion until someone caught her and removed both the blindfold and bit gag.
Akeno saw the familiar face of someone that looked like Angel but as her vision began to clear up she could see a maid with dark golden hair and brown eyes looking down at her.
"Come on I´m here to help you get cleaned up before you have to meet master Ikushuka" the girl whispered soothingly as she helped Akeno to stand up and walk into the bath.
The girl helped Akeno to get washed and bathed before she helped her dry off and get dressed but as soon as they entered the changing room Akeno got a surprise as Ikushuka was leaning against the wall of the room.
"Morning Shizu and Red" Ikushuka greeted making Akeno flinch back as he passed them "get her ready in the outfit prepared and do try to hide what you have to" Ikushuka added before leaving the changing room with a strange look of guilt in his eyes when he looked at Akeno.
The girl named Shizu brought Akeno over to a bench before she brought two baskets over and got Akeno dressed in a pair of black panties with a garter belt and black leggings to go with it but for some reason Shizu handed two holsters that went around her thighs.
A few minutes later Akeno was fully dressed in her new outfit that was more of a dress it was made out of crimson and black frills, giving her the appearance of an elegant gothic Lolita with uneven twin tails once Shizu was done with her hair and on Akenos head she now wore a big silver net bow to hold her hair. She also was wearing the black collar with the red gem on a chain around her neck.
(The outfit is basically the outfit Kurumi Tokisaki is wearing from date a live)
Shizu wasn´t done with her yet as she took out what must be makeup and got to work on covering up the angry red streaks on Akenos back and shoulders and by now Akeno could walk on her own again but Shizu stayed close to her as they returned to the bedroom.
"A job well done Shizu you may leave now" Kenri simply said as the two girls entered the room and a moment after Shizu left the room Ikushuka emerged from the study.
"Well Red I´m sorry but with the old man watching I had no other choice" Ikushuka whispered into her ear as he walked by her before taking a black weapon case from his butlers hands.
"I´m sure you noticed that your outfit has two holsters well after what you did yesterday you have my trust" Ikushuka simply said as he held the weapons case towards Akeno until she took hold of it.
"Kenri will show you to the kitchen to get something to eat once you are ready and after that you will spend the rest of the day at my side" Ikushuka explained before he left the room.
Akeno for her part was really confused but for now she opened the weapon case on the bed and found two glock-34s with long slides and barrels inside along with several magazines that were in a tactical belt holster with four extra magazines per belt.
Both pistols were a simple black color with one magazine already in the weapons and without a moment of hesitation Akeno took both pistols and holstered them under her dress the two magazine belts fit right over the holsters with two magazines hanging on the side and the other two facing the back and front of her thighs.
"Miss Red I should inform you that Master Oleg is not on good terms with his father please keep that in mind if they speak with each other" Kenri whispered to her as they left the room together but Akeno didn´t reply instead she pretended that the old butler had not said a single word.
Kenri showed her to the kitchen where a large breakfast was waiting for Akeno and once she felt she had eaten enough Kenri brought her to Ikushukas office but with Akeno barely having anything to do Kenri had her help out by getting drinks for the guests that visited Ikushuka over the rest of the day.
The day went by like that with Ikushuka meeting over fifty people and by the end of it all Akeno could no longer stand the smell of some of the drinks she had to bring the guests with almost every single one eyeing her like she was some piece of meat.
Ikushuka seemed pleased by her performance and after he sorted through some paperwork he went with Akeno and Kenri following him to the dining room only to find the man in the white suit sitting at the table smoking a cigar while drinking some kind of golden brown liquid.
"I see you have made it clear to her who her master is as for what you told me about her purpose I will allow it as long as she does not cause any trouble" the man in the white suit spoke sounding really bored as he blew a gray cloud of smoke into the air while looking at Ikushuka.
"I understand father I already made sure that she" but before Ikushuka could say another word Akeno pushed him to the side "what do you think you are doing?" Ikushuka yelled from the ground only to notice that some liquid had landed on his face and when he took a closer look at Akeno he knew what it was.
Akeno had shielded him from a throwing knife that someone had tried to kill him with but in order to protect him she not only pushed him aside but took the hit from the knife itself it only grazed her on her left shoulder to deflect it away from him but she was still bleeding.
"Master should I hunt the assailant down?" Akeno asked her voice ice cold stunning almost everyone present but Ikushuka recovered the fastest "hunt her down but do not kill her yet get her to me alive first" Ikushuka simply ordered and the next moment Akeno was gone.
"You trained her well I see now why you did not break her as of yet" the man in the white suit spoke as he locked towards the open door before he casually started to eat his dinner as if nothing just happened.
Akeno didn´t know why she protected Ikushuka the man that had kept her as his slave and tortured her but the moment she saw the blade being thrown she acted without thinking twice about it but now she was chasing the assassin down that was trying to get down to the shore of the Island.
Akeno had already drawn one of her pistols and kept it at her side but for some reason the cloak wearing figure stopped running at the edge of the forest where a vehicle waited for her but as the figure tried to get in Akeno opened fire.
Not on the person in the cloak but rather at the driver and after that the tires of the car but before the cloaked figure was able to run Akeno was already on them delivering a vicious kick to their backs before pinning the person to the ground.
"Seems you did not learn your lesson" Akeno hissed in anger before she used her pistol to knock the person out cold and with her primary target down Akeno decided to check on the car.
On the driver seat she found a man in civilian clothing that looked like he was a fishermen or something like that but after she checked she found that he was already dead.
So Akeno grabbed the cloaked figure and started to head back and at the entrance Kenri greeted her showing her the way down a stairway until they went through an iron door and entered what looked like a medieval dungeon and after Kenri opened one of the cells Akeno simply walked in with Kenri following her.
Kenri pulled the door shut and locked it as Akeno dropped the cloaked person on the ground before turning towards the old butler "she had an accomplice that tried to get her away by car however I shoot and killed him before I was able to subdue this one" Akeno explained as Kenri took a look at her wounded shoulder only to find that the wound was almost gone already however that might be possible but he still wrapped a bandage around it just to make sure it didn´t get infected.
"You did well in defending the young Master we are to keep an eye on her until the young master can join us along with his father" Kenri simply replied before he walked towards the cloaked figure on the ground and a moment later the person in the cloak was chained to the wall by her wrists.
Kenri showed Akeno to set of chairs by the wall and like that they sat down to wait but a few minutes later Akeno decided to clean her pistol with Kenri simply watching the chained up figure but Akeno already knew who it was after all she remembered that golden hair and those hate filled ocean blue eyes all too well.
It was about an hour before the door to the cell opened again and both Ikushuka and his father entered the room both Kenri and Akeno gave them a simple bow but a moment later everyone focused their attention at the cloaked figure.
"Red remove the cloak and Kenri bring a bucket of water to wake her up" Oleg simply ordered and so the two got to work with Kenri disappearing into another door and Akeno pulling off the brown cloak only to reveal none other than Angel.
Angel looked a bit worse for wear as her skin was pretty pale and she seemed exhausted overall but that was the moment Kenri returned with a simple steel bucket and with a simple nod from Oleg he turned it upside down right above Angel who woke up with a shriek and tried to run only for the chains on her wrists to stop her dead in her tracks.
Thank you Kenri and Red please stay nearby in case I might need you" Oleg simply ordered and both Akeno and the old butler took a step back until they were hidden by the shadows once more.
"Angel you disappoint me at first I thought you would do anything to get my approval but now I have to deal with you and your rebellious attitude yet again" Oleg growled as Angel looked around the room in fear as she seemed to realize where she was.
"Seems I failed" Angel sighed as she hung her head in defeat "Who do you work for?" Oleg asked but in the next instant Akeno was right in front of Angel with one of her pistols keeping Angels jaw open and a moment later Akeno yanked something out of her mouth before moving her pistol away as well.
"A poisoned tooth master as I think you wish to interrogate her a bit longer correct?" asked Akeno showing the fake tooth to Oleg and inside was a simple glass capsule with a liquid.
Oleg could only nod as Akeno went back to the shadows again as Oleg and his father returned their attention to Angel "If you are ready to die for your employer than that would mean he holds your loyalty as well" Oleg hissed as he made a simple hand gesture towards Kenri who disappeared into the other room again with Akeno.
Kenri needed Akenos help with carrying a black chest into the other room that was locked but after they set it down before Angel her eyes went wide in fear and her entire body started trembling.
"Oh you do remember what this is after all" Olegs face was twisted into a mask of pure cold fury as he unlocked the black chest inside it were ten several syringes with various liquids and each syringe was in a different color as well.
"Red, keep her still don´t want to waste one of these now do we?" Olegs grin was maniacal and absolutely terrifying to look at but Akeno obeyed and grabbed Angel's ankles to keep her from moving as Oleg picked up a blue syringe before approaching Angel.
Angel tried to trash around to get away but Akeno got annoyed by that and pulled out a knife from somewhere placing the edge right against Angels thigh and with that Angel stayed still as Oleg injected the syringe into her elbow.
"Thank you Red you may release her now" Oleg ordered so Akeno removed her knife and got back up as Angel seemed to get restless really fast as her breathing became very rapid, her pupils got really wide and her entire face seemed to turn red and that was the moment Akeno realized what Oleg had probably injected Angel with an aphrodisiac or some similar drug that heightened you senses.
"Kenri you know how to continue from here. Red you are coming with me" Oleg simply ordered as he left the room with Akeno while Kenri and Oleg´s father stayed in the cell with Angel.
Oleg walked back in the direction of his room with Akeno following him but a moment before they would have walked into the hallway to his bedroom he walked into another room off to the side so Akeno followed him.
The room was a simple office room with a table and a computer on it and a few chairs standing around the room with an old couch that stood right before a massive window and Oleg simply collapsed on it with a sigh.
"Red sit down with me I just want to take a break from all this bullshit for right now" Oleg mumbled so Akeno sat down beside him but a moment later Oleg laid down with his head resting on Akenos lap.
"I know what I did to you was not right and it was painful for you even if you have been trained to resist torture. But for now it is enough for me that you are just here as you remind me of a very dear friend from my childhood" Oleg mumbled as his eyes closed and for now Akeno simply let him get some rest and a few minutes later Akeno did the same by closing her eyes and leaning back against the couch.
