The Tattoo chapter sixty-seven
Nino watched as the emperor and his lords left, followed by a very reluctant Ohno. As soon as his was alone he sank into the elevated chair his face in his hands. He wanted to bathe, to scrub himself clean of the touches that the man had given him but he couldn’t. His legs were already starting feel as though they couldn’t support him anymore and there was a dull ache that he didn’t want to acknowledge forming in his head.
“My lord…” A soft voice whispered gently pulling him out of his thoughts enough to look up and see the young girl that he had been thinking about earlier. She was pale but otherwise looked in good health and he let out a small sigh of relief before he could stop himself hearing Ohno in his mind making comments about him being a Tigress. “Would you care for some refreshment?”
“…Yes…Thank-you…Mint water my head is starting to ache…” Nino mumbled trying to smile reassuringly at her but knowing that he had failed when an almost panicked expression crossed over her features and she almost fell over herself to get him the drink. He wanted to say more to her, to tell her that there was nothing to fear but it wasn’t true and they both knew it. This girl was young but she already knew the harsh realities of life. He didn’t want to think about it but he knew that she would have serviced the emperor before now and most likely the lords that simpered after him like lost puppies. All he could do for her was to make sure that she knew that she was in no danger from him but even that he had to be subtle about. This little girl could easily be as skilled as he was in the art of deception, a spy for the emperor, and even if she didn’t seem like that he would allow nothing to ruin his mission, even the soft heart that he had developed recently. The girl came back over with the mint water in a small cup and he gave a sigh and another smile “Thank-you…”
“You’re welcome…” She mumbled in response bowing low and looking like she wanted to run away as fast as her legs could take her but Nino felt an idea forming in his head and he motioned for her to sit beside him. “I…Should…Go…They will be looking for me…”
“Please…I…I am out of place here in the palace…Everything is so big and magnificent…” He said playing on the whole simple country boy act. “Everybody is so important and I am just me…”
“I…Y-Yo-You are the gu-guest of the prince…I think that ma-makes you important, my lo-lord…” The girl stammered reluctantly sitting beside him her whole body coiled away from him as far as she could get without appearing rude. The loose kimono spilled open a little exposing her legs and Nino wasn’t surprised to see dark bruises colouring the insides of her thighs. It was easy to tell what had made them, remembering the same marks that had covered his own legs when Sakurai had taken him roughly. He hadn’t been as young as this girl here but he hadn’t been fully developed. She noticed him staring and quickly covered her legs up shame filling her face and Nino felt his hands tighten around the glass wishing that he could just ask which of the lords had taken her so he could enjoy watching them suffer instead though he gave his best giggle sipping at the water, enjoying the crisp taste.
“My love is different…He and I met under different circumstances and I do not find him that impressive…The lords here…They are all…Impressive…” He said with a small shrug. The girl gave a scowl holding her knees closed as she chewed on her lips “…There is one…I…Ochi…” He said carefully naming the lord that had almost killed his new apprentice. The girl gave a loud gasp her eyes widening to full circles as her mouth dropped open as her face went white her hands on her knees clenched tightly. It was obvious that she had had the pleasure of knowing the man and it seemed that she was terrified of him. “My servant has said that he has wandering hands…”
“No more than the others, my lord…” The girl told him in a voice so small he had to strain to catch it. Ignoring the way his heart dropped to his stomach he tried not to hate himself when he had to play the innocent. He gave a smile inclining his head before draining the last of his drink.
“I…Confess that I am a little embarrassed…I am not used to being touched so much…”
“Good for you…” The girl muttered before gasping and almost falling over herself to apologise by pressing her face into the floor. “Please, my lord…I spoke out of turn…Please…Please don’t tell the emperor…I am happy here…I am happy here…here…Happy…” She begged her voice breaking as body shaking sobs tore through her body and Nino dropped down to his knees deciding that she was either genuine or a very good actress. He rested his hands on her shoulders bringing his mouth to her ear whispering;
“Take heart little dove, remember what I said to you…” He pulled a small handkerchief from the inside of his kimono and wiped at her eyes gently “Never, ever let anybody see how much you suffer…It only gives them more pleasure when you do…Go now…”
“…My…My…Lord…”
“It will be okay…” He smiled slowly helping her to her feet and walking with her to the door blushing just a little when he saw his love leaning against a door with his arms folded across his chest. His eyes were completely dark, filled with too many emotions that it was impossible for him to read them all but he could get the idea that he was aroused. It was strange that Ohno liked him more when he was doing things like this. Sakurai had found more pleasure when he was acting cold and almost cruel. He couldn’t count the times that his lord had gotten him to almost torture somebody as he fucked him. He had never felt many emotions about it at the time and even now he wasn’t feeling too much but enough to have guilt inside of him when he thought that he had caused the pain of people no older than this girl. He found that he preferred Ohno being aroused by his gentler side “My love…You are not with your father?”
“…He sent me away saying that I should be taking care of his flower...” Ohno answered coming over to him his arm slipping around his shoulders causing the girl to let out a gasp and flea as if the hem of her clothing was on fire. “…How are you feeling my tiger?”
“…Tired…but I would like some fresh air…Will you walk with me in the garden?” He asked hoping that they could talk more freely away from the overly oppressive palace. Ohno looked doubtful but, after studying him closely, nodded guiding him towards the exit.
They were silent as they walked to the garden. It was still warm and fairly light and Nino breathed deep and was quickly met with a mixture of scents from all of the beautiful flowers. Most had closed up for the night but here were scented night time flowers as they walked through a little network of pathways until he was sure that they were far enough away that he could let out a growl pulling out one of the needles from his hair and staring at the tip. It looked so harmless but he knew that it would shut down a man’s vital organs in a matter of minutes causing them to drown in their own blood as their lungs filled.
“…If I could I would take a needle to all of them…The whole lot and watch them suffer…” He growled looking into Ohno’s face. “I know that this is not in the plan but…”
“Your tigress instincts are kicking in…I saw you…And I personally agree with you…But there is something else I must tell you…Sakurai will be arriving sooner than any of us had intended…”

A/N: I really, really hope that this is okay…I’m so worried that the feel isn’t the same >.<

Oh my God I wish our Ohmiya doesn't get much more trouble than what they have. Dealing with the royalties is already more than their plate, we don't need Sakurai to complicate matters mlre than this.
Is Ohno even able to establish support and loyalties under these circumstances?
No offence but making Nino get out of this whole Sakurai trap and the emperor crap might be more difficult than he might thought.
Thanks for updating Krys-san! XD
I certainly got the feeling of what Ohno said of him having taken another cub under his wing*crossed paw* like in Masaki's.
Lol
