Chapter 23 - The Beast Within

It only took a moment for the change to happen. Feeling her hot breath on my skin, I heard a blood thirsty laugh come out of her. Her usual purple eyes were replaced by yellow cat eyes, and they were staring into my eyes with a high intensity. Giving me a once over with her eyes, she started to speak.

"You called?", she purred with delight, "I like a man that knows how to show a girl a good time."

"So you'll deal with me?", I asked, "My knowledge of you suggests you'd usually go into a blood thirsty rage by now. I take it normally that is true, but something is different about me."

"Hehe, I only do that because no one else deserves my respect.", she hissed with a smile, "All of those filthy ingrates!! They don't know the shit I went through, the pain I endured!! Black Label, Umbrella, my own Father...all of them used me for their own fucking benefits. I have always only been a pawn in their eyes, something to help them further their cause. Sayo may be happy helping people, but I hate all of them!! All of them treat me like I am inhuman!!"

"So you are the negativity that Sayo suppressed from childhood and the side effect of what was done to her.", I stated, "Interesting."

"Sayo pushed all her pain, sorrow, and suffering on to me!!", she snarled, "Do you know what it's like!?"

"Calm down.", I whispered taking her clothing off, "I understand you are hurt, and want to be free."

Reaching my hand down to her crotch, I started fingering her to calm her down. Purring like a cat, her fury calmed down as she leaned into me. Kissing her on the lips, I moved to nipple on her ear with a smile.

"Can I get you to promise not to have any outbursts while we are traveling?", I asked.

"You are asking a lot.", she gasped, "What do I get in exchange?"

"Even if I give you affection every night?", I pressed her.

"Mmm, every night?", she said pressing her breasts against me, "Anything else?"

"You saying you want more?", I remarked as she undid my pants, "Such a naughty woman."

Pushing her onto the bed, I took the rest of my clothes off. Giving me a baffled look, I was certain she had no experience with sex. If what she said was true, no man was brave enough to show her affection in any sexual capacity. Introducing her to the pleasures of oral sex, I ate her out while she dug her nails into the bed. Hearing her breathing become ragged, she did her best to stifle her screams. Keeping it together, she climaxed twice while keeping her voice in check but she was in tears by that point.

Putting my dick against her vagina, I forced her to look me in the eyes. Giving her a smug smile, I kissed her forehead.

"Sayo, you are my woman now. You don't need to hold back with me because I won't with you.", I told her as her face flushed up, "Now I want to hear you scream!"

Slamming right into her, all restraints she held snapped. Wrapping her arms and legs around me, her body moved on instinct alone. Hammering her into the mattress, I took control of our encounter and guided her carefully. Since she didn't know her preferences, I gave her a taste of several different positions including having her swallow my dick. Taking things to the bathroom, the sofa, the wall, and even over the table I tested everything I knew to see what she liked and didn't like.

Finding her pleasure positions, Sayo enjoyed the more aggressive positions where I set the pace and rhythm. Pulling back on her hair, I smacked her ass with my free hand as she screamed into a pillow on the bed. Leaning forward, I kissed her neck passionately as she pushed back on my dick with a very attractive smile.

Churning her virgin insides up, I let her hair go and grabbed her arms. Pulling her back, her breasts jiggled freely as I picked up the pace. Filling the room with sounds of her screams and me clapping against her, I quickly drew close to climaxing. Deciding not to warn her, I let go and fell on her back. Putting her in light choke hold, I slammed into her making her eyes roll into her head and her tongue come out.

Grunting, I climaxed unobstructed right into her womb. Gasping with each spurt, it appeared that she was on Cloud 9 for the moment. Finishing with Round 1, she came around a few minutes later. Giving me a happy smile, I told her we would be going a few more times which made her ask for a break...a request I denied.

A few hours and a shower later, Sayo and I were back on the streets. Having soothed her and the beast inside her, Sayo was glued to my arm with a happy smile. She was much more relaxed, happy, and above all not suppressing any anger. Clearing the remaining vehicles from roadway, we were returning back to base when we noticed a decent sized group of survivors coming up one of the storm drain canals that crossed the city. Staying back to observe them, all of them were part of some group called the Sons and Daughters of Izanami according to their description on the mini map. Going by the name alone, they were a fanatic religious cult of people that appeared have just completed a skirmish as their arms were covered in blood..

"What the hell are they doing?", Sayo asked me staring at them, "They smell like death..."

"I am fairly certain they are a religious cult. The person leading them is dressed like a priest.", I said pointing him out, "He is dressed really gaudy so I can't think he would be anything else.

Listening to their leader talk, the man was telling all of them that this plague was brought about by man's sins. Going further, he said that man had upset the Gods and that they had abandoned them to their fate. Sayo and I knew that wasn't the case, but the people following them were eating it up like it was the only potential answer. Seeing the women and men flock to him, both of us saw the nasty smile he had that the sheep didn't notice. He knew damn well what he was saying was bullshit yet did so for his own benefit.

"He is using their fear to manipulate them...he is a disgusting piece of work.", Sayo growled, "Disgusting garbage like that needs be eradicated."

"I believe it, I am sure he is doing this to save his own hid. Using them to do labor and sexual favors for him.", I stated watching him grab some of the women by their breasts, "Men like this really do need to be exterminated before the world rebuilds."

"Can I kill him..?", her alter ego asked me oozing bloodlust, "I want to make that bastard scream!!"

"Not yet...", I told her as I held her hand, "Let's follow them back to their base. If he is just a pawn of someone else, we won't do much by killing him. Besides, those people wouldn't listen to a word we would tell them. They are too far down the rabbit hole for reasoning to work solely."

"Alright.", she replied agreeing to my plan.

Picking her up, I leapt on top of a building and followed them from above. Since Sayo didn't have the skills necessary for keeping up with me, I had to carry her which wasn't an issue. Enjoying the breeze rushing through her hair, Sayo relaxed and remained silent while I tracked the group back to base. Watching them like a hawk tracking a mouse, she was eager to kill them when I gave the go ahead.

Holed up in a police precinct, it was a wise decision to follow them back. The man leading the group was a subordinate of a a girl maybe twelve years of age, but something was off with her. Using the system to investigate her stats, I was shocked with what I saw.

'What the fuck!?', I thought, 'She would be incredibly powerful if she worked on those skills.'

"The virus affected her differently.", Midna said sitting on top of my head, "She mutated into a hybrid of both undead and human. Since you can she her skills as technically she is part undead. As time goes on you will encounter undead with skills, and they will be much more difficult to subdue than a mutated one."

"Does she realize who the people are she is subjugating? There are several violent criminals in there with her.", I questioned.

"She doesn't have much control at all, at the moment she can make suggestions that weak minded people will easily follow.", Midna stated, "If they were truly against an order, they could break her control over them."

"She is a white dot on my mini map...", I said glancing at the map, "Her people are split between neutral and bad...I don't know what to think. Killing a child doesn't fly with me, it isn't ever an acceptable option."

"Good boy!", Midna teased, "That is exactly right! Go talk with her, and see if you can make peace. Just be ready to fight if you don't win her over."

"You make it sound like I am a lolicon...not a chance in hell.", I spat, "I like mature women and those my age only."

"I am kidding.", she snickered, "Consider that payback for saying you'd rather have Paimon!!"

"You still upset about that?", I inquired.

"I have my pride as a guide on the line!!", she huffed, "I led Link to slay Ganondorf and save my world!! All that brat did was stuff her face eating food all the time!!"

"Jeez...you have a beef with her?", I questioned.

"You have no idea...", Midna pouted.

Consoling her before she jumped back into my shadow, I went to the precinct to have a talk with the girl. Telling Sayo to stay civil for now, she agreed to it as she didn't have the stomach to hurt a child either. Casually walking into the building, I lightly used my Intimidation skill to keep her people away. Sensing the difference between out strengths, the girl didn't even bother trying to use her skill on me.

"C-can I help-p you?", she asked nervously.

"Mind telling me why you are using your skills to manipulate people?", I inquired.

"I...I have too. If I don't I wouldn't be able to survive.", she said acting like a scared child.

"You aren't fooling me...a normal child doesn't manipulate forty people into doing what you want.", I stated, "You aren't going to fool me."

Staring at me for a moment, she sighed and narrowed her eyes.

"I did what any girl in my position would have done!! Like most kids, I was at school when this happened and my teacher ran away leaving all of us to fend for ourselves.", she snarled, "All of us tried calling our parents, but no one got through. With no one guiding us we all scattered, and went home. I came home and found my parents were already monsters! They attacked me, their own daughter!"

Showing us a healing bite to her shoulder, she glared at me.

"I...I had to kill my own parents with a knife.", she sniffled, "Over and over I stabbed them because they wouldn't stop biting me!! When they finally stopped moving I got cleaned up, changed, and went for my grandparents house. I didn't get far before running into perverts who tried to assault me. I ran and ran from them, but they were too fast for me. Just before they got me I called out for help, and they stopped instantly."

"You can control people?", Sayo asked.

"Yeah, I don't know how it works or what my limit is. I just know some people I can manipulate just with verbal commands. Those perverts...I fed to the zombies, and these people I found living here I made into my servants.", she informed us, "They worship me like I am a Goddess reincarnated, I don't get it but I don't starve or anything."

"Do the undead attack you?", I questioned.

"That's the thing", she admitted, "They don't seem to react to anything I do. In fact, if I try really hard some of them listen to me for very simple commands but it's exhausting. For everyone else here the undead will attack them."

'So she is like the guy from Z Nation.', I thought, 'That skill set could be invaluable...when this shit infects animals, she might be able to tame them.'

"You going to kill me?", she asked nervously as she sensed the bloodlust Sayo was giving off.

She was hearing what the scumbags were doing in the other room. If not for my order she'd have gone in there to tear them apart.

"No, I don't kill children.", I remarked, "You could be a valuable person to our group in the future. Will you come with us, or stay with the criminals?"

"Cri..criminals?", the girl said nervously, "You mean these weren't all normal people!?"

"For someone with your power, you never interrogated them?", Sayo inquired, "How were you so sure there weren't pedophiles here?

"Well I...I didn't have much of a choice. If I don't want to starve, I can't be picky.", she replied looking at me with concern, "Wh...what did they do?"

"Well the man that led the group here is a murderer and rapist.", I stated, "What do you think he is doing in the other room?"

Shaking her head, she said it sounded similar to when her parents had private time. She had been told by her father that he was giving her mother a massage. Since coming here she thought that was what that man had been doing. Now that she knew he was a rapist, another thought came to mind.

"Is that what sex is!?", she shrieked, "I...I thought you sex was when you made a baby by handholding or k-k-kissing!"

"Well that-", Sayo started to say before I stopped her.

"You don't make kids by holding hands or kissing.", I sighed, "Where did you learn that?"

"Television.", she answered.

"Oh boy...", Sayo groaned.

"Listen, what he is doing in there is wrong. He is using his position to force himself on the women in there. They think he is your priest, and is using that to sleep with them.", I told her, "It's probably why he is listening to you."

Judging by how she was reacting, she really didn't understand the situation she put herself into. Her limited control of this group meant if they really wanted too, they could likely break the mind control. Once that happened they would either forget what happened, or would remember everything and kill her for manipulating them. Either way her power was something I could use in our group. Not only that, as people like her popped up Umbrella would pursue them as they were a threat to their control over the undead.

"Midna, could she eventually control the mutant undead too?", I asked.

"I would say some of them, yes. The more intelligent ones would be resistant, but the stupid ones would certainly follow her orders. She needs time to grow her power, right now she isn't even a beginner.", Midna replied.

Understanding the situation now, she agreed to leave. Telling them both to wait a moment, I stepped into the other room and executed the criminals here for safety. Seeing me kill people, most of the innocent people snapped out of the mind control and bolted leaving just Sayo, Aoi, and me behind.

"That was how strong my power was over them...", she shivered, "They...they would have left me if something happened!?"

"Sorry kid, you don't have a good grip on your power yet.", I told her.

"My name is Aoi Yamato!", she snapped, "I am a middle schooler, and you are probably a high schooler so you aren't that much older than me."

"He's old enough to know that you don't make babies by holding hands or kissing.", Sayo teased as she gave me a wink.

"I...I didn't know!!", she shouted, "My parents didn't teach me about that!!"

"Isn't that standard knowledge in health class?", I inquired.

"I...I didn't pay attention to my teachers. All of them were idiots.", she remarked.

Complaining about the amount of homework she had to deal with and the 'crazy' teachers she had, she made it sound like her life was shit. Letting her vent her complaints as we left, we headed back to the base in a hurry. Getting back home, I introduced her to the group and pulled the Black Label team to the side. Explaining her situation to them, all of them were dumbfounded by her ability and took a few blood samples from her. Stopping them at that, I warned them that she wasn't to become a lab rat. She was a child, not some sort of science experiment.

"Still though, the fact she has the ability to manipulate people is dangerous.", Yuko stated.

"I will make sure she doesn't cause problems.", I assured her, "Since we will need to play the part of her parents, disciplining her falls on us. Besides, her manipulation only works on those with weak wills and minds. Most of us here should be immune to here."

"Hold on!", Aoi panicked, "What do you mean disciplining me!?"

"Bending you over our knees and paddling you if you misbehave.", Yuko and Yoko stated with a serious look, "If this were our home, disobedience would have gotten you lashes and force to do hard labor. Be grateful he is in charge."

Nodding her head, she quickly ran off to the other children to escape.

"What do you think?", Mikoto asked me, "Can she be trusted?"

"Yes, she may be a little mature for her age but she acknowledges without a group she will die. She has no survival skills, and has seen that her mental control can break under pressure.", I replied, "I doubt she will cause problems for a while. By the time she get strong enough to manipulate people easily, she should be integrated enough to not want to cause problems."

"Fair enough, we will still monitor her though. There could be side effects from her change that we have yet to see.", the scientist stated.

Agreeing with that, I didn't know the long term effects of what would happen to her. Hopefully she would stay stable enough to stay mentally human, but if she didn't...I would be the one to put her down.
