100 Chapter 100
Kyon carefully went downstairs. He was heading for his room to have a bite in the middle of the night when he saw Anna, her eyes full of pity, reaching out to Dinah, who was leaving the mansion.
«Sister…»
He waited a bit and came up to the maid.
«What's happened?»
Anna looked at the boy with sorrow in her beautiful eyes, silently shook her head and went to her room.
Kyon got suspicious. Dealing with Dinah was the last thing he wanted to do now, at least until he gained enough strength, but Anna's reaction was too weird... {Damn it, not the swans!}
Near the pond, he could see Dinah's slender silhouette emerging from the night scenery. She was lit by the full moon, her delicate, elegant body was like a masterpiece of the divine sculptor. Her eyes were fixed on the sleeping birds. She held shurikens in her hands.
Kyon shouted to her from afar, his face darkened at once:
«Wait! Dinah!»
The maid swayed smoothly, turned around and gave him an icy look.
Kyon quickly approached her.
«Dinah, don't kill them! It's my fault that Mr. Bai decided they should die... I will find a new home for them, or rather, let's find their new owner. Nobody will know.» – He saw that the girl was in no hurry to put the shurikens away and added. – «The poor little beasts have nothing to do with all this... Leave them alone, please!»
Dinah could not disobey the patriarch's order. She had already raised her thin snow-white hand for a swing when Kyon grabbed her wrist. To be more precise, she let him grab her. It's curious... was he really concerned about some swans?
Kyon's face hardened, his voice had a threatening edge:
«Don't you dare to touch them, or I won't be kind with you.»
Dinah smiled contemptuously at him:
«Is that so? Are you threatening me?»
Kyon squeezed her cold hand tight. «Don't kill them…»
Before he had finished, Dinah pulled out her hand and gave a perfect deadly throw. The shurikens chopped the beautiful heads off their thin necks like a scythe on the grass. They slowly plunged into the water, the blood from their lifeless bodies painted the crystal clear pond.
Kyon gasped in sorrow. {I hope they are in a better place…}
He was boiling with anger, partly towards himself. He owed his new life of Juno's master to the swan that was ruthlessly killed.
«Obeying orders doesn't absolve you of moral responsibility. You must be ready for harsh consequences!» - In a rage, Kyon tried to hit Dinah in the face but she recoiled swiftly.
«I don't know where the weirdos like you come from, but the patriarch's word is a law for me.» - She said in an even, flat voice, her eyes piercing him like sharp swords.
Kyon spat. «You're a vile little bitch. In the future… You will regret it.» - He wanted to say more but bit his tongue. She'd better think he was no threat to her.
His emotional reaction surprised him. He didn't understand why he couldn't just ignore the fact that Dinah had murdered his dear little bird. His psychological barrier had always been unwavering, be it the simulation or reality. No man or woman could touch his soft spot, no matter how sophisticated their attempts were, what tricks they used, whatever weaknesses they were after. It was all for nothing but now...
{Why?} – He asked himself and came up with two theories. His soul or the new owner's body had a strong effect on his unconsciousness, that is, emotions. Or, more likely, because Dinah was too beautiful. She had everything to take advantage of his only weakness for "everything beautiful" and easily get around his barrier.
Kyon kept his masters' words in his mind: he needed to fix the breach and become an impenetrable machine that reacted coldly to everything, just like in the previous world. He should pierce the weak points of his opponents with a sharp sword. Why in the hell did he give in to emotions when he was around Dinah? He was sick of himself.
«What are you going to do with me in the future?» – There was mockery and even some interest in Dinah's voice.
Instead of answering, Kyon gave the brunette the most bloodthirsty look he was capable of.
Dinah flinched, goosebumps ran all over her body. Men used to fear to glance at her, and this one expressed a clear, unveiled desire to kill her. Kyon had released such a dense and prickly aura that even Dinah felt envy. The boy never ceased to surprise and impress her.
Kyon turned around and went away from the mansion, out of harm's way.
«And that's all that it takes to avenge the dead birdie? Some feeble attempts to grab me and an empty threat, Mr. Windbag…» – Dinah said defiantly.
«I'm not a child to play cat and mouse with a foolish and arrogant baby-girl.» – Kyon replied impassively, without turning around. Inside, he wanted to punch her so much. Once he warned her not to approach him and held up his end of the bargain. This time, she called him a windbag... {Shut up. Just ignore this beautiful bitch.}
«I'm not going to play tag with you, honey. If you want to do something to me, just give it a try. I promise I won't move.»
Kyon turned around and met Dinah's eyes. She wouldn't let it go. Her arrogant face annoyed him more than ever. {Stupid bitch, she drives me up the wall... Keep calm... I will get my revenge in the future.} He headed for the mansion, his teeth clenched.
Dinah snorted. «I didn't say you can go.» With the last words, she appeared like a shadow next to Kyon and hit him in the stomach.
Kyon flew into the pond, right to the corpses of the unjustly killed swans.
{I see... The talk with the patriarch had canceled the order not to harm me.}
Dinah bent over the edge of the pond. «Get out, you little snot. You are really going to get it for talking back to me, for daring me, for pawing me... And for deceiving my sister and me. And for the fact of your miserable existence, too.»
Kyon straightened up with difficulty. There wasn't a trace of fear or insecurity on his face. His fingers reached for the spatial ring. «Do you want to kill me?»
Dinah was a little surprised that the boy was not afraid that she could easily take his life. He wasn't that simple, after all.
«I do!» – Dinah admitted without thinking twice. - «But I'd hate to disappoint lady Juno. That's why I won't kill you. Instead, I'll make your life as miserable as that of an insect.»
Kyon was about to take out the attacking nephrites when he realized that there was no threat to his life. He changed his mind. He seemed to be in for a good thrashing today.
«Aren't you going to apologize or beg me?» – Dinah asked with a smile.
«Fuck you.» – Kyon spat in the pond. – «If you are so eager to punish me, let's have a swim together!»
«You're so… cheeky…» – Dinah whispered almost reverently and jumped into the water. It would ruin her uniform, but it was nothing compared to the well-deserved punishment for a very naughty boy.
All of a sudden, Kyon jumped out of the pond. Dinah was about to rush after him, but her feet froze to the bottom. {The cold element?!}
Kyon ran to the mansion at full speed. He took out the sound transmitter to call Juno when suddenly he heard a scornful laugh from behind, about half a meter away from him, and right after that, he felt a sharp pain in his neck… He rolled head over heels down the stone-paved path.
Dinah pressed him in the pelvic area with her knee and squeezed her tenacious fingers with sharp nails on his neck. Hot blood dripped onto the floor.
«You have certain skills, but your pathetic attempts at resistance are useless against me. You're a failure.»
Kyon grunted in response:
«Finish what you started. Your presence makes me sick.»
Dinah viciously squeezed her fingers even tighter and heard an immediate groan of pain. Ah, it felt so nice to torture him! Then she delivered a couple of powerful blows to his sides. From all her heart. For all the good that he had done. Then she snickered haughtily:
«I thought you would give up and start weeping and begging me to stop but... You are anything but simple. I'll gladly crack this hard nut. I will make you remember today's lesson for the rest of your life.»
Kyon felt a sharp needle prick his neck, the fluid he knew so well spread throughout his body. {Evilball!} - He instantly blocked all the drug effects with Synergy.
He heard quiet, insinuating, and unusually gentle Dinah's voice in his ear.
«It struck me as strange that Flitz did not have your balls cut off back then. I have to correct his mistake with this wonderful drug. Now and forever, you are impotent, boy! How is the feeling?» – The ruthless maid asked viciously.
Kyon thought it would be better to pretend he was crushed by grief, but he would never look in her eyes like a softie who had given up.
«Has the cat got your tongue? Alright, then. Let's continue our exciting game.» – The happy girl whispered in his ear playfully and twisted his arm at once. Today she was going to take it out on him in full, torturing him the way her masters had taught her so well.
Time dragged on like a snail crawling up the wall to the hundredth floor.
Two hours long, Dinah inflicted unbearable, infernal pain on him while keeping him intact on the outside. She did a lot of painful grips, bringing them to the point where a slight movement of her finger could break the joint. She eagerly pierced his pressure points with her long sharp nails. She was happy to twist his limbs. His groans were pure music to her ears. She couldn't believe that torturing a boy could feel so nice.
The mere sight of the happily smiling sadist made Kyon twitch. She held him so gently and hurt him so delicately that he trembled with disgust. It was like sex. The contact of two heated bodies, groans, emotional ups and downs... Only, it was quite the opposite.
He should have forgotten the damned swan. He shouldn't have worked off his anger on her. However, it would have changed nothing. She would have come to him for the "reverse" sex anyway. The order had been cancelled, she would have never missed her chance for revenge.
At least now, he had the right to forbid her to call anyone to cancel the order. Juno will do it for him without raising any suspicions. Now he was completely safe. Dinah had had her revenge. She had no more motivation to harm him or try and cancel the order, etc. Now she was no threat to him. All he needed was to wait for the next chance when he would easily humiliate her.
Dinah finally got off Kyon's leg, breathing in the fresh and clean night air. For the first time, she felt so relaxed as if the best massage therapist had worked hard on her body. Her sensations reminded her of the sex scenes in romance novels, which was a little embarrassing.
The only thing that made her sad and surprised her at the same time was the boy's reaction. It was far from what she had expected. Anyone else in his place would squeal from fear and pain, begging her to stop, but this one... He only groaned and did not say a word. He didn't even cry.
«If you dare to look into my eyes once again, or treat me with disrespect, or try to deceive my sister or me... I will not leave you alone. You will pray for death. From now on, stay away from lady Juno, my little girl, hee hee.» – With a charming giggle, the maid-torturer walked away with spring in her step. Her long-accumulated stress had vanished without a trace.
Kyon slowly staggered to his feet and stretched in pain. {You'll regret this, my little Dinah… You'll regret it so much… As for the murder, you will pay me separately for that. No one dares to hurt my dear creatures. No one!}
