Inside the Harem Room

[Sato Koemi]

Miyako sat down near the invisible barrier, clutching her legs close to her as he sniffled, red eyes welling in tears. She was scared, and she wanted her Karu-niichan and Yuzuki-oneesan.

Many of the kaibutsu women merely stared at her without remorse and just turned away, some of the male ones completely ignored her presence totally.

The little foxgirl felt.. alone. She buried her head into her knees, clutching the clothe of the kimono she wore an sniffled only a couple of times.

[Kochou Mari]

While most of the slaves didn't even acknowledge Miyako's presence, one did.

A small boy, appearing no older than fourteen, stared inquisitively at her. His aqua eyes glinted in light shed by the torches that dotted the walls. Brushing a lock of his pale blond hair out of his eyes, the boy stood up and walked over to the little fox girl.

"You must be Miyako..." he whispered. "Lady Kurakouhi has spoken of you..." Smiling, he held out one hand. "Here. Come with me. Everyone here won't bother you if I'm beside you..."

This boy was one of Kurakouhi's favorites. Though he looked very young, he was actually quite...experienced. Though the Dark Queen preferred variety in fulfilling her sexual desires, she usually had a spot for this boy in any if her little fantasies... Which is why no one dared touch him.

Anyone else who defiled his perfection dared suffer death at Kurakouhi's hand.

Which would be worse than any other fate they could imagine...

[Sato Koemi]

The little foxgirl slowly lifted her head at the sound of a soft voice. She rubbed her red eyes lightly to wipe away her tears and blinked at the boy, blushing a little bit at how cute he was.

Staring at his hand a moment, she shyly reached out and took his hand as a small smile slowly curled along her tiny lips.

"Y.. yes. I am Miyako.." she replied quietly, shyly as she stood slowly. Once she had finally stood, she dusted off and straightened her kimono and fixed her already spikey, messy silvery hair with her free hand and blushed a little more at her action. It was habit to make herself presentable, pretty, cute, however one would describe it because her elder sister practically preached beauty to little Miyako every day, telling her little sister that she'd be the most beautiful kaibutsu once she was older.

Miyako really never understood beauty and seduction like her sister, Yuzuki, did. Miyako only really knew about being cute, helpful, playful, shy. Whenever Yuzuki brought Miyako along to some female gathering of kaibutsu, Miyako always hid behind her sister's legs shyly.

"What has she said about Miyako..?" the little foxgirl asked, creamy-colored ears twitching and perking upwards in curiousity.

[Kochou Mari]

The boy was about to speak when the door was thrown open. All the heads in the room turned as Kurakouhi entered the room, followed behind by her Shiromaru. Down the long hall she walked, finally coming to sit down on a nest of cushions at the far end of the room.

"Kinu!" Kurakouhi called.

The boy (his name was indeed Kinu) looked up. "Yes, my Lady?"

Kurakouhi smirked. "Come here, my little one..." she whispered, holding out one hand. "Come and sit with your queen..."

Turning his head to Miyako slightly, and giving her an apologetic look, he stood up and took a couple steps toward Kurakouhi.

"And bring the fox girl as well..."

Turning around, Kinu smiled and held out his hand to Miyako. "Come on. I promise you, Lady Kurakouhi is very kind..."

[Sato Koemi]

Miyako blinked several times at Kinu's extended hand and looked over to Kurakouhi, feeling a little apprehensive, remembering all the stories her elder sister told her of an evil queen that ruled the land of Dark Twilight with such malice, such anger and hate.. Could the stories be true? Could the stories actually be the cat-woman before them..?

Miyako didn't know.. she really didn't want to find out, but she made a friend in Kinu.. and if he said it was okay..

The little fox girl stood slowly, dusting off her white kimono and she shyly took Kinu's hand and walked forward with him, biting her lip in silence.

[Kochou Mari]

Kinu smiled softly and began walking toward Kurakouhi. As soon as he reached the nest of cushions his mistress sat upon, he bowed low, and motioned for Miyako to do likewise.

"Kinu, my dear...come sit..." Kurakouhi murmured, patting a soft violet cushion beside her. "And little Miyako..." she whispered, her face fixed into a perfect guise of a caring, almost sisterly figure. "Come sit. You must be very tired..."

Kinu, rising from the bow, went and sat down beside Kurakouhi, leaning up against her as if he needed her for support. With one hand, he felt Kurakouhi stroking his soft blond hair.

"You must be hungry, little Miyako!" Pointing to one of the kaibutsu in the room, a tall, slender doglike female, she said, "Go get us something to eat."

The dog girl bowed to her mistress and, in a flash, was gone.

[Sato Koemi]

Miyako blinked several times as she was instructed to bow, which felt a little awkward since she really was never taught and nearly fell on her face as she tried bowing, but fell to hands and knees as she caught herself. As her name aws called, the little foxgirl looked up slowly and blushed at the sisterly looking expression.

Rising up from the awkward bow, she automatically dusted off her kimono lightly, almost as if it were habit for her, and sat down in front of Kurakouhi, as she wasn't really instructed where to sit at.

The foxgirl turned her head to look at the doglike figure before it flashed away. Biting her lip in curiousity, Miyako's big red eyes turned back to Kinu and Kurakouhi, daring to speak, as she really didn't know much mannerisms "Pardon me, ma'am.. but.. where am I..?"

Again, no third person as she was using before when she was along with Kinu. She seemed a little frightened, and a little intimidated by the great figure before her. Her cream-colored ears twitched and perked forward cutely.
