For a moment I thought that Nathalia had been hit bull's eye on the forehead, however I noticed that the henchmen lost all strength on his arm and tilted to his side, falling to the ground and having a lot of spams and twitches, everyone looked at him because of the fall's noise and noticed he had a bolt stuck into the middle of his head; Silva soon noticed what was going on and hid behind a pillar, other four bolts flew over the girl's eyes that watched everything that happened before her eyes, then four more henchmen were mortally wounded, that was when Silva left his hiding spot and looked to the direction the attacks came, noticing it was from the entrance door, there was her father, that did not lose time and said:
Damned be you! How do you dare do that with poor girls! – from where Nathalia was fallen, it was sure that she couldn't see a thing yet – where is my daughter?
Oh! The little plebeian there wants his daughter? – Silva said in a mocking way – if you want so badly us to tell where she is now, you will have to extract that information from us! – the noble then drew his short sword from its sheathe.
Oh, that will be a pleasure – the father then took a throwing knife and threw it, which hit in the middle Silva's hand, making him drop the sword and howl in pain – I shall do that slowly, don't worry.
Damnation! – the noble shouted while he held his bleeding hand – men! Kill him right now!
Both Nathalia's father as well the henchmen drew their daggers and swords and faced each other in a bloody combat; even though he was in brutal numerical disadvantage, he began taking down his opponents one by one, with his sword mastery, he was par to noble Silva! Who took advantage of the ruckus and took Margiore by the paw and slowly fled through the backdoor, when Lindinir landed the final hit on the last henchmen, he began looking around and searched for his daughter; moments later he saw the most terrible thing a father could have seen, his once immaculate daughter now naked and laying on the ground, covered in semen around all parts of her body, with her vagina bleeding and sperm also leaking from there, glazed eyes and immobile; when she noticed her dad was looking towards her she thought "Daddy! Forgive me! Daddy! Daddy!" beginning to cry afterwards; however something really bad happened in sequence.
My daughter… my beloved princess… - he then walked to her and kneeled beside her – w… what did they do with you… my Saint Meow… how could they… do this with such sweet girl… as you were… - he then hugged her in sequence, "Daddy… forgive me… I know I made a big mistake… and I cussed at you… but I will do my best… to do everything right from now on… I promise… dad… it is so good feeling your hug" – you deserved… a much better father than I always were… - "don't be silly dad… you that deserved a way better daughter" – but don't you worry… I will meet with you soon now…
It was on that instant that everything worsened, Nathalia shouted "What do you mean dad? What are you going to do?", however without being listened by him, whom placed his daughter on the ground slow and gently, took the sword he used to kill all the henchmen and pointed it against his chest, "NO DAD! STOP! I AM ALIVE! YOUR DAUGHTER!"; but it was useless since her voice didn't reach him, because right next he smiled and, without even hesitating, trespassed the weapon right in the middle of the heart, its tip leaving his back and falling right beside his daughter in his last dying twitches, spilling blood on her paw, that shock was surely too much for the girl, who just shouted mentally "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD…" and fainted afterwards.
Everything became black around me, as soon as I blinked I saw myself on a hospital room, in the exact moment Nathalia came to and woke, she had been operated since her vagina had been torn; at the exact moment she got to know that both her dad as well as Angelica had suicide, I felt something different as if the memories had begun being owned by another person, it was still the little kitsunemimi's, however they began passing in a hushed way as if I was watching a movie that was in "fast forward" mode and it was as if she was a completely different person; changing completely, becoming apathetic and working in an automatic way, as a robot without any kind of feelings or bounds to the her exterior.
She was forced to live with her grandmother, mother of her father, because of Verona's laws that forced the closest relative to treat with care a minor that had lost their parents or guardians, the woman hated this girl since she was born, as her mother "seduced her son" and took him out of her life; that person gently reminded the girl every day how she was a "fucking son-of-a-bitch that had ruined the life of her beloved son" or how she was a "ordinary prostitute whore that should rot from sexual diseases"; Nathalia endured all this with incredible ease, since that to her it didn't matter anymore, she didn't have any motives to live… that is, until after six weeks passed.
Nathalia began feeling nauseous at the mornings, her grandmother took her to a doctor that diagnosed her to be pregnant as a result of the rape, after a lot of exams were made the doctor and other two they heard the opinion stated that, even though the girl was pretty young for a pregnancy, that wasn't motive alone to declare extreme and imminent risk to her life, that is why according to Verona's laws abortion wasn't allowed.
Of course that this was a great disgust to Nathalia's grandmother, seeing that having a descendant that came from a rape was the last straw and stain that the witch would allow the girl to place on the beloved son's family name; at that night she took a knife and attacked the girl, muttering crazy nonsense that, if the law and state wouldn't allow her to make an abortion, she would do it herself using her own hands; after a big chase the kitsunemimi locked herself inside her bedroom on the house's second floor, however as the door was extremely old, it went down easily with the lunatic woman's attacks, in an instant of despair, Nathalia opened a perfume from west Verona that her dad bought her and threw its contents on the old one's face.
It certainly made her grandmother's eyes burn considering the pain shouts she was emitting, taking her hands to the face and walking randomly around the corridor, until a moment she lost her balance and fell from the house's second floor headfirst on the living's room floor, everything was turning black as the girl observed, with a visible change on her inside, the witch's brain splattered around the head.
Everything cleared again, however it was now passing as a quickly watched movie, Nathalia was practically isolated due to her fame of being bad luck and assassin, as they couldn't prove anything against her, they couldn't enslave her, worse, because she had no living relative alive she couldn't count on anyone to survive, not to mention she had lost trust on all living beings, she sold most of the few worthy things that were left her to survive until de day the child would be born.
At the day she began her labor, she had to walk almost two miles under a huge downpour, as no one wanted to help her by calling an ambulance, a female street beggar did the birth on an abandoned house on the way to the hospital, where she lived; after long twenty one hours of intense labor pains came to the world her daughter, which she called Maria; as a token of gratitude she invited this woman that helped her to come and live with her, so she would take care of her daughter in exchange of providing a lair and food for them to eat.
Nathalia then faced one huge problem, how to raise a daughter and a street beggar when she was only twelve years old? It didn't take too much time for her practical sense so noticeable nowadays to become present, as all her honor and fame had gone down drain she began offering sexual services to her classmates; soon that became a success due to the low prices she charged, handjob was just twenty five cents, oral sex was fifty, vaginal sex was one and anal two bucks; at first it was really hard for the kitsunemimi, as despite what she went through, she had no idea on how to do those things, she bought adult magazines regarding sex, watched movies and practiced a lot, becoming an expert in very little time.
Despite the extremely hard and rough life she was living, seeing the old lady who helped her happiness and watch her daughter grow, craw, take the first steps and say the first words, it could be said that at her own way, Nathalia had become a happy person as much as it was possible; she dedicated her body and soul to her daughter without caring for her own well-being, it wasn't rare the times she wouldn't eat so as the other two could; everything was going pretty well until when, around two years after being raped, happened the event that made her follow nowadays path.
Maria once had a great fever when she was one year and six month old, the pediatrician said that just a really expensive medicine would be able to save her, that day Nathalia left the girl with the lady and went to make sexual programs on a dubious part of the city, after around four hours working non-stop she managed to get said medicine and raced back home, when she arrived she found the front door opened, she entered with slow steps and saw the lady getting money from a very ill looking person, at the exact moment the other beheaded her daughter, destroying all and anything that resembled like a person inside her that might have been left before all this happened, the memory began becoming black again slowly on the exact moment that she looked down and saw a small sword, she took it on her paws and everything became black.
Moments later everything became clear again, I felt that I clearly was in another person's memory again; looking around I noticed we had six corpses spread on the floor plus the lady's one, I searched for Nathalia around the room and without much effort I found her sitting on the corner, holding her knees, rocking back and forth and she stood like that for around two hours, that was when a blond ponytailed man entered through the door, for an instant I thought he could be Yokumbi, however he was around thirty five years old, but he was very similar to my worker; he looked around and noticed the corpses, saying next:
Damnation, apparently they were caught before us – he then analyzed the corpses – I don't know why Silva would want something with the person that lived here, he needed to eliminate any evidence of his participation on the events of two years ago – he looked forward, seeing the lady and a child – but which headhunter would leave the proof of his hunt here? Why didn't he take the heads along? More importantly, why do we have a lady and a child dead here as well? As far as I know they aren't part of Silva's targets…
DON'T TOUCH HEEEEEER! – Nathalia shouted when her blade was an inch from the blonde's man body – FUCK YOU ALL!
Hold on your horses! – the man said dodging the attack – I am just checking what happened there – he then spat a needle, that hit Nathalia on the neck, making her fall unconscious on the floor, at the exact moment that his ponytail fell to the ground, making sweat roll down his forehead – this girl doesn't seem to older than fifteen and managed to cut my hair so easily, she is good and has great potential… - he then looked to the kitsunemimi – her features, she was the target… it makes sense, I think I will take her to train with my son Yokumbi, who knows we might have a great agent on the future!
That was when that everything around me began blurring and, instants later I found myself back again inside my bedroom, sitting at my bed; I looked at the monitor and Enma was talking without showing the slightest hint of feelings, even after telling such a tragic history, in the end she concluded her story by saying:
Well small rabbit – Enma then looked into Enmie's eyes – what happened after this day, I cannot reveal… professional secrecy, I hope you to understand… - she then became strangely quiet, saying moments later – you are so silent… go ahead, say that I was an idiot, prideful prude and didn't seek for help, that I am an assassin or even a prostitute, please be my guest… - no matter now how much the kitsunemimi tried to sound as she was joking, it was visible she was feeling sadness.
And… why would I do that? – Enmie asked, with eyes so calm and filled with kindness – I feel shame of myself that is – she then looked at the ground – of everything I said and how I pre judged you, as you did more towards your daughter than a lot of mothers in better conditions – she then directed again her attention to the kitsunemimi, placing her right paw on her left one – and as I suspected… - she then closed the eyes for some moments, opening then right next – you are so pure inside there – she then pointed to Enma's chest – your regret comes not from the fact of making a wrong choice and getting raped in the process, but from your father seeing you in that state and ending reducing his own life; I dare to say that in case that if they didn't kill you and allowed you to go back home after that, you wouldn't suffer if your father never found out anything about it – the usagimimi then shook her head – how can I say something like that to someone as good as you? That lives this way as a self-imposed punishment for what happened?
W… Well… - Enma tried replying, looking to the usagimimi's paw that was above hers – I b… believe that you are… right in certain aspects… - that was when a small tear fell through the kitsunemimi's face, who instantly took her paw to her cheek – t… that is funny… I already told this history… so many times… without problems… for so much people… - she dried the tear then, however right after she did another one fell from the other side – this is so foolish… they keep leaving like this… I am so silly, aren't I? – Enma then began a lost fight to try drying the tears that began leaving more frequently from her eyes – s… sorry Enmie… it will pass soon… I don't know why… they don't stop…
Enma, I know we cannot undo eighteen years of history, but if you want… - Enmie then opened her arms, offering them for a hug – could you go back into being the scared twelve years old girl for some moments, that was hurt by infinite pain and sadness, that waited all this time to be able to release all this suffering that is inside that little heart?
That was the last hit on Enma's resistance, who looked at Enmie and let the dam of suffering that had been closed for eighteen years open, she placed her head on the usagimimi's lap and cried as a twelve years old girl that just had lost her father; she was sobbing really strong, saying things like "Forgive me daddy… you deserved a so much better daughter than what I was" or "Daddy, forgive me… I was so happy while you existed… thanks… forgive me dad…", she spent almost twenty minutes that when in visible suffering and painful cry, that slowly began subsiding, during all this time Enmie didn't stop caressing her head not for even a minute; after some time after the sobbing stopped and both of them became silent, Enma said:
Rabbit, some of my female clients would kill you to be on your place at this exact moment – Enma then giggled.
What do you mean? – Enmie asked, apparently confused – female clients? I thought only males would go as far as requesting your services…
Oh! – Enma giggled once again – well normally wealthy males hire me to actually end someone that they don't like or need out of the way and, paying for the complete package, they also get my other famous services… - the kitsunemimi then looked at the usagimimi – women, however, request me to eliminate another thing.
And what would that be? – Enmie asked with visible curiosity – now I became indeed curious!
Hehe, my innocent rabbit… - Enma stood up and sat, staring at Enmie – they usually wish me to eliminate the boredom of their lives without sexual drive whose husbands do not incite anymore or just want something with someone of the same sex…
Wow! – Enmie exclaimed, placing her paw over the mouth and raising her rabbit ears – I thought that you were just an assassin and the rest was just a "bonus".
I am a professional rabbit, I do the best on what I am paid to do – she then crossed her arms – both in the art of killing as in the one of pleasure… - Enma then smiled archly, looking into Enmie's eyes – actually, that last art is my specialty, my female clients would agree completely…
R… Really? – Enmie asked, blushing slightly – I d… don't understand… what would they… w… want… I mean… you are female… how could they… feel anything?
Well… - Enma thought for some moments, replying in sequence – haven't you ever touched yourself or masturbated rabbit? There are plenty of ways to make someone feel pleasure, even when it is between people of the same gender! I bet even you would agree in case you tried what I do with my clients… - I noticed, even if through the monitor, that the kitsunemimi was staring at the usagimimi's chest.
H… H… Hahaha! – Enmie laughed in a very embarrassed way, blushing violently - o… of course I masturbate when I w… want! – she thought for a bit – now the rest… n… no, don't dream… that wouldn't work with me… no… - she then looked at Enma, saying in a defiantly – I d… d… doubt something like that would have a… any effect on me…
Ohhhh, isn't that reeeeeeeally interesting? – Enma replied, nearing Enmie, placing her index paw's finger on the usagimimi's exposed bellybutton and really staring at her up close – then would this be… a challenge? – she smiled with a malice I had never seen before.
