Bestiality
Day 11
Blocked
"Come, sit here." He told her, the three other girls watching in horror, as the woman sat in the stone throne their Captor had. "Would you like something to make you comfy? Maybe some pillows? It's a bit chilly here, so how about a blanket?" The brown haired one bit her lower lip, grabbing he bars of her cage,
"How dare you take hostage of the Queen too! You are the lowest type of scumbag!" She hollered, "I'll fucking kill you when I get out of her! I'll rip you apart and burn the pieces!"
"Shut up, don't you know any manners?" He snapped at her, and she growled back at him, unfazed, "Be respectful, you're in the presence of Royalty, girl." He said, running his hands through the new girl's hair, smiling dreamily, "She's only the prettiest type of Doll, isn't she?" The blonde-haired girl perked, all the others looking at the new girl.
"Her eyes." she murmured, all of them taking note of the pupil-less, hollow, empty, hazel eyes. "He's done something…"
"Good observation, Kira." The Captor said, taking off his cloak and wrapping up the Queen in it. "You see, she's built up a strong immunity to my toxin, thus, I had to give her a stronger and more concentrated dose. Even then, she still doesn't listen." After he said that, she reached up, grabbed a few handfuls of his hair, and head butted him. Blood trickled to the floor, and he smiled, "Ahh, such boldness. I love it." He kissed her forehead, "I think she's like the show that's coming up soon."
"Show?" The Black haired girl said softly and timidly, and he sneered,
"I'm going to kill you three for her entertainment." He told them bluntly, "Ah, that reminds, me, I have to leave for a little bit, so I'll reduce the sedative for the Queen. Keep her company ladies." He chirped, before vanishing, and the Queen blinked.
"Can you move?" Kira asked, the other three looking up at her with admiration, and Katalia smiled warmly,
"I'm so happy you're all safe. Your mates will be happy too." She said, and they smiled back, "I can't…move…but I will try to get you out of this situation." Katalia promised, a pair of eyes opening in the darkness behind the cages, looking at her. "And, um, keep your hopes up! Everything will look up soon." Zeyalda smiled bashfully, covering her lower face with her sleeves,
"Miss Katalia…Y…you give me inspiration to be as s-strong wo-woman like you." Zeyalda blushed, "Kakuzu would be so happy."
"I think that your mates love you for who you are, not if you're strong or fragile. Please believe in that. If you could just put your faith in me, please, hold out for a little while longer." She looked at the shadow, behind the girls momentarily, her eyes flashing a command, and it shuffled away.
~O~ Domain of the Thread Demon ~O~
The couple entered into the domain from the portal, and at once, the icy chill of emptiness almost knocked the pink-haired girl off her feet. "Sasori, it's so cold here." She said, and the red-haired Scorpion Demon looked around, his long scorpion tail arching into a cautious 'battle-ready' movement.
"Kakuzu has never been the friendliest of Demon, thus, he shuts himself off from everything and everyone." Sasori said, his mate almost stepping on something, before Sasori grabbed her arm, "Wait, Sakura. Let me carry you." Sakura looked at him curiously, a cackling wind blew through the decaying branched of the grey and withered trees around them. "His entire domain is littered with threads to alert him to anyone who unconsciously steps on them. A few demons can see the threads, and we'd rather not startle him."
"Wouldn't he know you if he saw you?" Sakura asked, but let him pick her up anyways,
"His eye sight isn't what it used to be. He needs body parts to live, but since he's in such a depressed state since his mate left, Kagetora mentioned he had been refusing the new replacement parts until his mate came back. He's short sighted right now." Sasori said, sighing, as they walked down a long path. The trees eventually vanished, and it began raining black snow- no- it was ash.
"Doth my ears fail me? Doth the sound of footsteps rings upon the floor? Yes. Such footsteps must be the ones of thy dear heart." A voice purred, that of a dark poetic.
"No, Kakuzu, it's Sasori." Sasori voiced, and this was an angered growl,
"Only a fool walks to thy grave and bury thyself! Begone with you, unwelcome guest!" the voice snarled, as they came to a large room, out in the open. There were short, broken walls- as if there had been some type of building around here once, but it had long been destroyed. "If thy mind is right, thou shallt not dwellth longer than their welcome." Sakura hid behind Sasori. Along one wall in front of them, which was mostly in tact, was a throne built into the wall. A statue, sat on the throne, and only stone threads, spread out from all over the throne,
"Kakuzu, we're only here to help. We've been sent by Kagetora, the new Overlord, to collect information about your mate and anything you recollect from when she vanished. Please cooperate."
"…'Cooperate'? Thou mind has been corrupted, Sasori. Doth though think I will bow to you, when I am a Knight of the Crystal Emblem? Thy judgments and vows are clouded." The voice continued, the eyes of the statue glowed and the ground shook. "Thou insolence cannot be over looked and go unjudged!" Cracks ran along the statue, and the stone suit fell away, and it pulled itself out of the throne. "For the maiden Autumn, I will judge you justly!" Sasori pushed Sakura back,
"What's going on, Sasori?" Sakura asked, and he crouched, as the statue moved back, grabbing the engraving of a sword upon the wall, next to the throne, and ripped it out, before turning back to Sasori.
"He's not happy that we're here, among other things. Get behind something Sakura." Sasori told her, and she did so, as the Statue raised the sword above it's head robotically,
"For thy own maiden and the maiden Autumn, thou shalt regret not taking heed!" The voice yelled, and Sasori hissed, as the sword came down. Sakura realized what was happening, and ran for Sasori, who roughly pushed her out of the way, before he was slammed into the ground.
"Sasori!" She screamed in hysteria, but he got up, grunting, putting a hand towards her when she moved towards him,
"Stay…out of the way, Sakura." He growled, before hacking up dark liquids against the stone floor, getting to his feet. The Statue swung at him again, but he caught the sword this time, and thrust his tail through it, breaking it in half. "Kakuzu, get a hold of yourself. I'm not here to fight you!" He yelled, before he was kicked across the floor, and rolled into a head stone, covered in ash.
"Thou words are foreign to thy ears!" The voice proclaimed, and pulled a mace from the wall to the left of the throne, slowly spinning the diamond-mace. Sasori got up anyway, and vanished, before grabbing the mace head and flipping him. Sakura got down and covered her head, as chunks of stone flew here an there,
"Someone help him." Sakura whimpered, before she lifted her head, someone standing in front of her. They wore a ram's skull for a head, and a thick cloak that wrapped around them and dragged on the floor, trimmed with grey wolf's fur. Long, wavy, while hair, grew from past the thick Gazelle horns, and the hood of the cloak forced the hair to waterfall down the from of their body. The being tilted their head to her next words, "Can you stop this?" It looked at the two fighting, before shuffling over to them, a strange crest on the back of it's black cloak. It was the picture of a dark purple crystal, in the shape of a ten point star, surrounded by wisps of white. Sakura grabbed the creature's cloak, "Stop them!"
"You are not my Mistress, Child." A voice echoed in her head, before it leaned down to her, bleached white skeletal hands, grabbing her face and holding it between their long-dead palms, as it's empty sockets bore into her very soul. "They are found, at the crossroads of the Endless Grey and the Coming Twilight. The sunlight-haired male is the Master of the Dunes. Take heed- he treasures no man, but the skeletal vassal is the key to his downfall." Sasori looked over, "Sakura!" He yelled, abandoning the statue and running over to her, the creature's lifted it's arms, it's entire being shaking, the sound of bones rattling filled the air. Sasori drove his tail through it, but before he touched it, it turned to dust, leaving behind the cloak. "The robe must be given to the Vassal." "Sakura are you ok?" Sasori asked, Sakura nodding, as he turned back to the statue and lured it away from Sakura, as she grabbed the robe and pulled it on over herself.
It was strangely warm and she felt empowered when she stood, and the Statue stopped fighting Sasori. "Thy ability has grown many folds, Scorpion!" Sakura ran to Sasori and hugged him, the cloak dragging behind her. "Hn? Doth thy eyes deceive me? Your maiden wears the emblem of the fair maiden Autumn!" Kakuzu exclaimed, Sasori looking at the cloak, "…thou desires the memories of a unforgotten and regretful night?" Kakuzu asked, walking to the middle of the 'room', being docile as he stared at the cloak.
"Yes. A description of your mate and if you can remember anything specific." Kakuzu closed his eyes.
"Eyes of parchment that hold the tales of old and woe, a raven's feather does seem lighter than the jet of thy hair. Skin that glistens with the glow of snow; an air of the weeping with doth thee have- such a woman has been thieved from me. By the hour I wane, aye, but by the hour doth she fade. From time apart, she sobs of broken heart, until at last such beauty fades by the end of the 28th day. Aye, I will die, but not if she doth not cry." Kakuzu said, and Sasori nodded, "You and your maiden…bring back my Zeyalda safe."
"I will. You attack me like that again, I'll kill you and report to Autumn that you committed suicide." Sasori told him icily, and Kakuzu looked away, before Sasori took Sakura's hand and lead her back to where they came.
"Whose 'fair lady Autumn'?" She asked, and Sasori took a deep breath,
"When Kagetora's father was Overlord, he was worried about Kagetora's mom, who was pregnant at the time. So, he assembled a small organization of people who willingly would devote themselves to making sure she was fine. Kakuzu was the first one to offer his services, and was made the Captain of said organization. Along with a few others. Their activities became unknown after the reign of Katalia's husband, but they didn't fall into the hands of Madara." Sasori told her. "How did you get that cloak?"
"While you were fighting, someone spoke to me- and when you came around, he vanished." Saskura said, hugging the cloak, "There was- a voice in my head- it told me to take this to someone." Sasori stopped,
"What did they say to you? Can you remember?" He asked urgently, Sakura blinking,
"Um, They are found, at the crossroads… of the endless grey and the coming twilight." she held her head, trying to remember more, "The sunlight-haired male is the master of the dunes. Take heed, he treasures no man, but the skeletal vassal is the key to his downfall." She repeated, "This is supposed to go to the vassal." Sasori stiffened,
"What did he look like? The person?" Sakura shook her head,
"Like a skeleton…" Sakura murmured, and Sasori nodded,
"The Storming Valley is where the 'endless grey and coming twilight'. It's not the safest of places, so, I'd rather you not go." Sasori told her, the voice clawing itself into Sakura's consciousness, 'Only you can take the robe to the vassal, Child.' Sakura held her head,
"No, um, I can only take it to the vassal." she told him, "That's what- the voice is telling me." Sasori was silent for a long moment, before pulling his own coat tighter about himself,
"We will…report this to the Overlord…" Sasori said quietly, the portal opening for them once more, and he stepped inside.
~O~ Throne Room of the Overlord ~O~
"That thing that spoke to Sakura, was Gokai, the keeper of my Mother's soul." Kagetora said, Sakura taken aback, "But the 'Master of the Dunes' is what I'm worried about. He couldn't mean- Deidara of the White-Gold Sand, could he?" Sasori said nothing, but Kagetora leaned back in his chair, "Hn…This can't be good if it is."
"Overlord Kagetora, I asked that you let us speak to your mother. My mate has something that belongs to her." Sasori said, and Kagetora narrowed his eyes,
"I would, but while I slept, she was taken from me. All I have is a note saying that she's in 'Good hands'." Kagetora said, lacing his fingers together, "I don't know how to be a leader but that's not the problem here. The problem is that , if it is Deidara behind all of this, we're going to need all hands on deck, when we have such a small crew. The mateless Demon Lords are too unstable to fight; You saw how Kakuzu reacted to your arrival. They are unnerved and feel vulnerable. We have the Vahallians and Madara, if they're willing to cooperate. My mother is always an ally, but she has been taken hostage too." Sasori lowered his gaze, "I cannot leave this place- I want you to be my envoy, Sasori. Relieve my Mother first- then let fate take its course." Sakura blinked in surprise, and shivered,
"What about the other mates!" Sakura yelled at Kagetora, "You're a king! Care about your subjects! Not just your mother! You're so selfish!" She hollered, Kagetora standing up and banging the staff in his hand upon the floor, making those around him flinch.
"I've given you the benefit of the doubt, Sakura, because you don't know anything of the Demon Culture, but your ignorant is beginning to tempt my already thin patience." Kagetora said sternly, "If the enemy has the strongest pawn in their grasp, it's only common sense to relieve that pawn. Advisor, take Sasori's Mate to the guest room and lock her up. I don't want her to be anymore of a hindrance." Kagetora declared, and the advisor moved towards Sakura, before Sasori got in front of her,
"Overlord, as you watch your temper, I will ensure my mate doesn't bother you. Please, take your seat." Sasori said, Kagetora sitting back down, as Sasori lead her away.
"Sasori, I'm scared…" Sakura said, as he lead her down the hall,
"I'm a little scared too, Sakura." Sasori admitted, leading her into a room, "This is the guest room closest to the Throne Room. Despite how he may not be in the best of moods, Kagetora's a lot like his mom- he'll protect everything with every bit of strength he has. Even if it means he'll die from exhaustion before he gives up. Very stubborn, those two."
"Have you seen his mom fight before?" Sakura asked, and Sasori thought about it,
"No- but Madara was a lot more stable before he was pushed into a fight with her. He fainted after she changed the slightest to her demon form. He turned into a killer, supposedly, from that alone." Sasori kissed her on the forehead, "Stay here and stay safe, Sakura. Please. Don't follow me." Sakura looked down, and nodded quietly. "Thank you- I'll come back." He said, before leaving.
~O~ Elsewhere ~O~
The shadow twitched into existence behind the trees, watching the girls silently. "Gokai." The shadow perked, "This girl is dying." The shadow shuffled over to the cage of the black-haired girl. She lay on the ground, breathing shallowly. If one focused, they could see the ground underneath her. "Help her."
"She is no concern of mine." Gokai replied bluntly, "I care not what happens to this one."
"Listen…to me." It looked at her as she panted lightly, "Do something."
"I cannot. Her condition is out of my hands. She and her mate are in a stronger bond, thy depend on each other for life. As we speak, he too, dies." Gokai grumbled, not drawing closer to her, "I can do nothing but comfort her soul if she does die."
"That's not what I said-ARGH!" She grabbed the white and gold collar around her neck, her breathing growing rugged as it closed around her throat. "Ngh, Gokai." He looked at her and her eyes darkened, "Get. Me. My. Cloak." She growled dangerously low, and he heart jumped in happiness, even as the collar tightened. Katalia relaxed, closing her eyes, and Gokai slid into the camp, stopping at the cage of the girl who was fading. He put a hand on her head, and her body became solid, before he went over to Katalia and slid his fingers under the collar, which loosened its vice-like grip on her neck. She slept and he tried to make the other girls comfortable, before the Captor came back.
"Who are you?" He demanded, Gokai turning and looked at him, before cackling, throwing his arms up and vanishing. "What a weirdo."
On the next chapter: The Culprit of the kidnappings is revealed, and Katalia rallies up all her strength for the show down.
