My ears automatically give a light twitch, and I look up at him, frowning. I fail to notice this, but I am blushing with embarrassment - and deeply. Just hearing this, what I already know, is able to rattle me, even though I had known I would lose. "Yes sir..." I reply, trying to push myself up off the ground so that I may follow him.

But of course my body is still numb - damn the residual effects of lightning! Even though I am relatively unhurt, even standing becomes a struggle when static electricity runs through your veins. My movement is erratic, uncontrollable, and jerky, but I can at least move now! So of course, walking up the stairs becomes a work of complex art, as I must crawl up the stairs while at the same time trying to predict my body's next movement and waiting for the time in which free movement will once again be possible.

I began to feel disgusted at myself, due to my weakness and the thoughts that brewed within my mind. I was beginning to dote on the girl like some simple idiot, yet what disgusted me the most was the fact that I enjoyed her close to me - a part of me wanted her closer, just to slip off that dress of hers and then... " Nothing. " I responded to her question while focusing my pestering temptations away with my anger. I wouldn't be so foolish to let myself fall for a girl like this, I still had my pride.

" Let's go, a crowd awaits your grand speech. " I stated with a smirk suddenly forming in my lips as I turned and looked at her. By now my face was clear of any shame I had a moment before and was now bright with my smile, the sadism burning brightly as I stared at her. A girl was only beautiful once you strip her pride from her, not before or after, slowly pulling the small wings of pride and watching her try to fly - the crimson stains on the white wings as they would all try to fly: A Beautiful Sight. " Come now. " I stated as I walked past her and towards the mansion once more for her grand speech to be prepared and told to every servant I had under me.

I wince slightly as he utters those words; for some reason they sting my heart more than I had expected. I feel his now-familiar hand on my head, and I know what will be coming next.

Or not. Of all the things I had anticipated, not once had I thought his next action would be an embrace, and yet here he was. More importantly, here I was, oddly enjoying everything about it. Then, I feel something strange near my leg, and seconds later I am pushed back. "What did I do...?" I ask - beg to know. He turns his head away, but just before his face is out of view, I think I see that his face had another shade of red to it. Then again, it was more than likely the position of the sun. I mean, it's not like there's any way this man, so obsessive about his past love, would be crushing on me, right? My hands come up to my collar, and through complete coincidence the fingers on my left hand brush over the bite I had received prior.

Temptation.

Something about this disturbed my soul. Watching her as she caused a self infliction and then her fall, the only sensation burning within my head was to break her right there and then. My eyes fell upon her current position, the memory of Elizabeth having always been in such a stance when she- " I hate women like you.. " The words escaped without my permission. My hand having then rested on her head as I grabbed hold of her hair and then pulled her close to my body - the sudden position having been obvious as my desires flared with a burning demand.

I was angry. The woman that I always tortured died, again and again, it wasn't fair - I can't. My hand then flung her back from my body, her cheek pressing up against the clothing and my member underneath having only infuriated me further. " You're....going to say it loudly for the others. " I said, turning my head away from her at that time while I felt the same burning sensation disappear once more.

I shudder lightly as his touch, the illusion making my mind and body feel like he can do me no possible harm. I allowed myself to listen to his words; after all, these were what I had always wanted to hear. I had always wanted to forget every moment I had been called to fight for others, and the life of every person I had defeated added onto a heavy load in my heart. Everything he offered to me sounded like the perfect deal; like I could be freed of my bloody past if I were to submit. And yet, and I can't comprehend this, but my soul says no, that all this is a lie. I wonder why that is...?

I look to the ground, still blushing deeply. "I appreciate your intention..." I begin, looking to the side. "But my pain is a part of who I am. Before I can accept your proposal... there is something I must do..." I reply, drawing up my power. Everything around me is perfect - the environment, the feeling in my heart, even this cruel, cruel man who had made me his own. I alone am an inperfection, a flaw. "Until then, I will live with my pain." I answer, calling forth my lightning.

There is a flash, a sudden burst of pain, and I feel myself fall to the ground. Suddenly everything is clear again. I am back in the courtyard, on my hands and knees in front of this man. There is a light smell of burning around, and it takes me a few seconds to realize that I had singed my own outfit with that stunt. This is my chance, though... I realize, balling my right hand into a fist. I've managed to get this close to him, now I may as well land a hit!

Nothing happens. Wh-what...?! I think to myself, trying again to move. Once again, nothing. Shit! In my desperation I had attacked myself to break the hypnotism, but I had overdone it, and my body is now numb except for my hands and feet.

Amaterasu was born from Izanagi's right eye, ironically the demon eye was within my right eye as well. Yet it's power held only small uses, illuminating the heaven within a person's mind, such a power didn't compare to the amount the other items had. " Good girl.. " I whispered as I watched her come closer and then was close to her smaller frame.

My hand came up and stroked her cheek, while my head lowered itself before I nipped gently at her inhuman ear. " Aren't you tired of fighting? " The voice was poison in her ears. It preyed and spread through her mind, the dark thoughts of the countless battles, tiring conflicts, painful wounds, they would all become something she wanted to lose. " Don't you want pleasure...? Happiness? " He had whispered as his teeth grazed further down her ear to the top of her head where he rested his chin. " It's alright to let go of the pain...Just sink into me...Lose yourself to me. " He had whispered, his hand stroking her face as it dropped down to her shoulder - the thumb sliding along her neck and shoulder blade.

I heard the sound of his voice, and for just a moment my attention slipped, causing me to make eye contact with him. Suddenly, I strangely began to forget about everything that was important at this moment in time. I hear a stone slab rise up from behind my back, but at this point I don't care. For some reason I feel... relaxed... even though I'm in a huge fight, it doesn't matter to me anymore.

There are trees everywhere, surrounding a motionless lake. I am relaxing in the shade of a tree close to said lake. A gentle breeze picks up, and an apple falls into my lap. Is this... paradise...?

Despite all this, I can still hear his voice, though in this environment even his voice fails to grate on my nerves like it usually did. This place is just too... heavenly... My heart begins to race, and the only reason I know I'm blushing is because I can feel my face becoming hotter. I hear him order me to come, and I simply cannot bring myself to resist. The blush on my face grew, as I stood up straight and slowly and smoothly walked toward him.

I stared at her as she became skilled with her new found talents, yet I could feel the irritation in my eye begin to spread through the rest of my mind. " This eye has a specific title to it.. " Seduce with a seductive Trap, Amaterasu. " The eye began to glow once more as the ground listened to the orders from the deity of creation and death. Another pillar of dirt had risen from behind her as to keep her from backing away - the crimson gleam the light from his eye seemed to shine already began to drift her mind into another area.

" I never explained to you what this is, did I? " I had asked as the feeling of pleasure suddenly began to ache within her body that caused a sudden relaxation. " There are Seven weapons stolen from me; Izanami's Candles, Ame-no-Uzume's Gown, Inari's Fur, Izanagi's Spear, Susanoo's Sword, Kotoamatsukami's Orb, and Tsukuyomi's World. " He explained, upset that these demonic items were taken from him by mere demons and humans of all things. " And my item is Amaterasu's Eye. " I explained while watching the world around her already begin to cause her cheeks to turn crimson. " This higher plain is a beautiful illusion of heaven...but still the weakest. " I explained, annoyed with my current status as I looked at her and then began to approach her with my hand out. " Come here, my little kitsune. " I whispered with a smile.

(Ah, well in that case... the thought I had was for my character to by hypnotized by the demonic eye, then out of desperation uses her lightning on herself, which allows her to break eye contact but limits her movement ability to rolling out of the way of incoming attacks.)

Of course... that had been my weakness. Up until now, I had always assumed that the ears and tail were little more than a humiliation, even if I did think it was kind of cute to have them on. In the events that had come around since then, I had failed to realize until now that my sense of hearing had improved drastically.

Taking a deep breath to make up for the one I lost the moment I hit the soft earth, I heave myself up and prepare to try again. Strangely, though, the man's voice seems to echo over and over again in my mind. Concentrate... hear the ground... change... Concentrate... Damn it, I understood it the first time! And how the hell am I supposed to concentrate when his voice is inside my head?!

My tail feels a tremor in the ground, very slight. I may have no experience with hand-to-hand fighting, but I've fought enough to know to prepare yourself at the slightest possibility of a threat. Graceful, or graceful at least in contrast to my earlier screwup, I sweep my left leg to the side of the tremor. I then put my weight on my left foot, allowing the rest of my body to slingshot behind the source of the quake. Just as I got out of the way, a stone slab rises out of the ground, aimed exactly at where I just stood.

Perhaps it was concern...

She wasn't used to the tail and ears and it was obvious to tell; Her balance was off from the jump and the tail made her heavier by a bit that her jump was off from what she most likely first assumed that she got harmed by the arm that attempted to grab her. Watching her fall was no question to me, the eye responded to my wishes and the ground itself began to change once more to the soft soil to prevent her from getting hurt.

" You have ears, concentrate and you'll be able to hear the ground underneath you change. " I stated to her as I waited for her to get back on her feet. Again the ground she landed on began to take the form of hands in an attempt to grab her legs and wrists once more. " As your master I order you to . " I stated, my demands having caused a ringing in her new ears that seemed to force her to strive to succeed.

(( You can go ahead and do so if you want, at this point he's only teaching her the main functions of her ears and tail so it's more training than it is a battle. Of course she has much more to lose in this case. ))

Even acting quickly, I am not fast enough to fully escape the arm's grasp. I run toward the hand, attempting to step off a solid piece of gravel in the hand to quickly break past it. I get onto the gravel in an acceptable manner, but as I jump off, the hand clenches into a fist, and the tips of the fingers brush my knee. Had this creation not been mostly solid, this wouldn't have amounted to much, but this earthen hand was at least 80% solid, and so this little bit was just enough to put some spin into my second jump. Unsure of how to react, I prepare for the worst, making sure to keep my arms pointed toward the ground, ready to give on impact so that I get out of this as unhurt as possible.

(I'd post more, but this is a fight, so going any further will risk that I end up playing your character. I've actually had one scene in this fight planned out that may or may not happen, depending on just what your character's eye is capable of.)

I watched her already relish the embarrassment within her body, the flush of her cheeks having been evident truth of that, yet she seemed to avoid the truth with her pride once more. " I have around 53. " I answered with precision to her thoughts and imagination to act as I pointed to the balcony behind her at the second floor. " They'll be here in the garden when you make the speech, I'll be sure to whisper my demands as the tail eats away at you. " I explained and then looked over at the weapons she was tempted to use.

Her stance already gave me the impression that she wasn't used to close combat, even her profile explained her always using a sword, but I didn't need to humor her with any gifts or possible weapons. " Do your best. " I mentioned and stood calmly before her before my eye began to glow. A sudden growth came from the ground and the gravel and dirt began to take the form of a hand before outstretching and heading towards her in an attempt to grab the girl.
