Chapter 16

(Haru POV)

Akari and I stormed the estate a little before midnight. Getting inside was extremely easy just going through an open window with our high speed. We initially wanted to take them out silently as to not bring attention to our actions, but something caught our eyes. While making our way from room to room, we had overheard a loud scream.

“Hmm… what was that?” I thought to myself out loud.

“Let’s go check it out Haru.” Akari grabbed onto me, and we went in search of the scream.

After a little searching while trying to stay in the shadows, we came upon a rabbit girl being dragged on the ground by two men. The look in her eyes was very alarming, as if she was void of emotions. She’s probably been through a hell of a lot in her life and in need of some much needed rescuing.

“Akari did you see her eyes? They looked completely dead, as if she gave up on living long ago.” I said with a frown.

“With how damaged her body was I could only imagine, what she must have gone through. These people are so disgusting, not one person tried to help that girl. Most of them just looked on with a smile on their face.” Akari was ready to jump out and unleash her frustrations.

“I guess the saying from my old world works really well for this type of scenario. Birds of a feather flock together. I don’t want to kill any innocence, but it seems like all these people deserve retribution.” I give Akari a little nudge, “Go relieve your stress, I can tell your barely holding it in. Just don’t burn down this place yet, we need to question that noble bastard first.” She gave me a nod with a wicked grin on her face.

With that Akari launched out from where we’re hiding and started massacring everyone within the estate. She had pulled out her main daggers out of her subspace ring before going after her prey. I start walking in the direction, where the two men took that bunny girl. Going back up the stairs I Looked down both sides of the hallway, I saw two men standing in front of a door with a maid.

I took out my short swords from the ring Akari had given me and prepared to launch an attack on the three people. Putting my lightning into my swords, I started walking towards them. As they noticed me coming down the hall in their direction with red lightning zapping constantly on my two blades they looked terrified.

“Hey! Y-You stop right there or you will d-die.” One guard said with a shaky voice.

“This is the esteemed Count Verman Von Asteroth’s estate. If you don’t leave now, we will have to use force.” The other said with a solemn face.

I just gave them a big smile, “Bring it on!” Putting lightning into my feet, I charge at the two guards as I saw the maid start to run away. Probably not the best idea to leave any survivors, at least until the black market situation is taken care of. As I reached the two guards, I plunged a sword into each of their stomachs, and watched as their body exploded with lightning charging pulses. Then with a fluid motion I threw one of my swords at the escaping maid, watching it go right through her mid section, and stick into the wall behind her.

After I retrieved my dagger, I went back to the room they were guarding. Akari had shown back up giving me a happy smile. She was finally able to blow off some steam and must feel a lot better now.

“This is the room they were guarding, so I assume the girl must be in there.” I suggested to Akari.

“Alright, let’s go in!” She moved to the door and gave it a powerful kick. She really has no tact at all, I thought to myself with a laugh.

Looking at everything in the room the rabbit girl is currently bare naked on the bed with the guy now slammed into a wall from the door kick. The girl had a very small sliver of light in her eyes as she saw us. I wonder what she’s currently thinking and if she thinks were going to kill her as well. To make sure she doesn’t fear us, I took off my hood to show her were allies. Akari followed my action probably understanding my intentions.

“Don’t worry, we have come to help.” I said to the girl with a smile to hopefully reassure her, “Akari do you have any clothes for the girl?” I suggested to Akari because it was distracting having her naked.

“Sure Haru and don’t you dare look at her anymore!” She said with a glare.

“I get it Akari, I will go deal with the guy” I said with a sigh. Honestly I didn’t feel much looking at her naked body because of the current condition it was in. She had so many scares and bruises over her body. Her skin looked dark blue and black in a lot of places. Poor girl was the only thing I thought, when I saw her on the bed.

Turning my attention to the bastard noble rapist on the floor, I started having many wicked thoughts of what I should do with him. But first and foremost find out anything I can about the strength of the city and what kind of power defends it. Then get him to spill where the black market will meet up and when. Walking up to the man, he had the fear of god in his eyes as he looked at me in terror. Realizing now, we were Beastkin, and probably wasn’t going to survive our encounter.

I grab him by the neck and lift him up, “Tell me everything you know about the cities military strength.” He just looked at me blankly without saying a word, so I threw him back into the wall he was just slammed into. “I’m not here to mess around with you. Make your decision die peacefully with cooperating with me or die painfully forcing us to work to make you talk.”

“Do you understand what you’re doing?” The noble said.

I kicked him in the face, “Don’t start some bullshit monologue with me, I don’t care who you are and what you have backing you. Just so you know if you choose option two Akari over there would love to spend some time with you.” I pointed over at Akari, and she waved, “She very much enjoys destroying people like you and probably wants to replace me in this interrogation.”

“Haru can I take over, I would very much enjoy making this piggy squeal.” She said with a lot of enthusiasm.

I looked at Akari with her pleading eyes and I felt helpless. It was impossible to deny any of her requests. I walked over to her planting a kiss on her lips, “Go have fun.” I smacked her on the ass encouraging her to go handle it. She looked back at me with a seductive smile and turned back around going over to the guy.

Sitting on the bed next to the rabbit girl I looked over at her, “Are you ok?” I asked. She just gave me a nod, “Well, I’m sure you will enjoy what’s about to happen to that guy. Akari has an evil side, when it’s someone she feels should suffer.”

“That bastard deserves whatever he gets.” She said with venom.

“If you don’t mind me asking how long have you had to suffer under him?” I asked curiously, “I’m sure she would allow you to take the finishing blow, if you wanted it.”

“Ahh… Please stop… I can’t handle this much pain… You’re going to cut off what…please just let me die already.” We both looked at the man in agony as Akari tortures him for any information he could possibly give.

“I’ve had to serve under that disgusting pig for two years. He bought me from another bastard who had me for a year before that.” She sighed in vexation at her last three years of life.

“Alright I will let Akari know you want the final blow, I’m sure it would be great for your mentality.” I said with pity at her circumstances, “What’s your name?”

“Oh my god, please stop… I’ve already told you what I know… Just let me die you witch… please don’t cut that.” Once again the chorus chimes in to interrupt our conversation.

“My names Luna and I have to say, I’m quite enjoying this show.” She gave a little chuckle at what she was watching.”

“I’m Haru and that sexy vixen over there is Akari.” Looking over at the mangled mess of a man that guy is now I said to Akari, “She would like to take out some frustration on that man.” I suggested.

“That’s no problem Haru; I’ve already got all the information we need.” She runs over and sits on my lap. She leans over towards Luna and gives her a dagger. “Go do what you need to do.” She gave a smile at the rabbit girl.

“Thank you very much.” She bowed with her thanks and walked towards the man.

“By the way Akari her name is Luna, and she’s been in that guy’s care for two years. Talk about a rough life, poor girl.” I said as I wrapped my arms around her, who was leaning back onto me.

“Poor girl indeed, she will probably need a lot of time to get over this kind of trauma.”

“That’s for sure, but what she’s about to do will be the first step towards recovery.” We both watch on as she starts stabbing the man right into the face.

“You fucking bastard this is for everything you put me through” Luna screamed as she repeatedly stabbed him in the face. It was about one hundred swings before she got too tired to stab him anymore. The guy’s body was an absolute mess. Luna walked back over to us and let herself fall face first onto the bed. She just laid there unmoving.

“Akari, could you roast that guy’s body with fire? It’s pretty disgusting to look at and would prefer it to disappear.”

“Sure, Haru” She got off my lap and walked over to the body. Akari burned it with fire until there was only ash that remained.

“Alright, let’s get out of here. Then, we can talk about the information you got out that guy.” Akari grabbed me by the arm as we started walking out of the room. I turned back and looked at Luna, “We’re leaving Luna, so if you want to come with us better get up now.”

We both smiled at Luna as she instantly jumped up and ran behind as we continued out of the room.

***

(Luna POV)

This has to be the best day of my life. I was able to kill the man who has made my life a living hell for the last two years. As we left the estate, I saw everyone who ever looked down on me was now in a pool of their own blood. The fact this actually happened, and it’s what I was wishing for earlier is really amazing.

I paid attention to Akari and Haru as we left, and they seemed like a bonded couple. They’ve probably already went through with their imprinting as well. The thought of being with a man disgusts me now. Having to deal with constant sexual abuse for all those years probably destroyed my ability to love anyway.

Oh well, I’m just happy they got me out of this horrible life, and now I actually have a future to look forward too. When we got to the front door of the estate, they both stopped, and Akari got three cloaks out of thin air. I looked at that in awe.

“Here Luna, we have to wear this for now. So none of those Humans will notice what we are.” Akari sighed, while giving me a cloak to put on.

About twenty-five minutes later, we entered a room we had rented for the night. They took one of the two beds in the room and I got the other. As I lie down on my bed and look up at the ceiling. I start dreaming about what tomorrow could bring. At the same time, I hear Akari and Haru making out under the covers. Completely ignoring the fact, I’m in the bed right next to them.

I guess with having to travel with them from now on, I’m going to have to get use to this. I sighed internally, while turning in the other direction; I closed my eyes trying to get some sleep.
