PART 2: CAPTURE
***
Ranks of mock soldiers were blown to bits as Tanegashima Zentaka commanded his squad to open fire. The combined blasts shatter the stillness of morning as Lord Urakami’s gun squad began to train again. The weather has become better that morning and Tanegashima do not want to waste any more time.
As the first line withdrew to reload their guns, the second line advanced and took their aim. They blasted away at the mock soldiers, but they could not make all their guns to fire at the same time. Some ten of them fired after the rest had withdrawn.
“You think they’re doing that for tactical reasons?” Miyamasa ridiculed. Tanegashima said nothing to the old advisor. Instead he walked to those ten who shot late and checked their guns. Nothing was wrong with the guns, and he told them to fire at the same time with the rest. Tanegashima returned to his earlier place, standing beside the sneering Miyamasa.
“Okay let’s try again! Line One, ready!” Tanegashima yelled.
“Aim!”
“FIRE!”
The noise of gunfire blasted through the base, followed by a cloud of smoke. A moment passed, and then two late guns blasted. Now the first liners made the mistake.
“This is getting nowhere,” Miyamasa scoffed.
Just then Tanegashima saw a graceful figure followed by some others approaching them from the side. The second line was taking their turn to shoot and they did it correctly this time.
“Mayumi-san!” Tanegashima said happily.
“Good morning Tanegashima-sama,” Mayumi, or Taki in disguise, said to the samurai officer, never forgetting to offer a smile, “So this is how you would create the gun squad.”
Tanegashima tried to suppress his excitement to see the beautiful courtesan again. Taki was dressed less elaborately than yesterday, and she went easy on the make-up too, but she still looked very gorgeous in Tanegashima’s eyes. She was accompanied by Okiyo and Kagami.
“Oh, yes, my dear lady, I am teaching them the mode of warfare of the future,” Tanegashima said proudly, “With these guns the Urakami clan will be invincible. Here, let me show you.”
>From their conversation yesterday, Tanegashima knew that the courtesan was not averse to talking about killing weapons, and she was even interested by such things. So he tried to impress her by showing her how to use a gun. Of course, Taki the female ninja was clearly curious about the matter. It was one reason why she had come there.
Tanegashima ordered for a target. A soldier carried a life-size wooden puppet and put it at some distance from Tanegashima’s position. Tanegashima picked up a loaded gun, checked it, and aimed it at the puppet. He lit the gun’s wick and fired*. The shot destroyed the puppet’s head, while the blast shocked Taki, who was standing near Tanegashima. She had heard explosions before, but she was actually surprised by the sound of gunfire; she never thought that such a small weapon could be so loud.
[*Technical note: The Tanegashima gun is, after all, ancient. The firing mechanism is like a medieval cannon’s, where one lights a wick and waited for the flame to ignite the gunpowder. It is ineffective, but in the days when there were no guns around, they were not a disadvantage.]
“Sorry, did I surprise you?” Tanegashima apologized, seeing a shocked expression on Taki’s face.
“It’s okay… no problem…” she stuttered. She turned to see the puppet and found that its head had been destroyed. “What a powerful weapon!” she exclaimed.
“Indeed,” Tanegashima said. “It’s slower than the bow, but more destructive. And the loud noise provided an element of shock to enemies--the sound would froze men in their paths. Of course, I had to train the gunmen to be accustomed to the blasts, so they don’t get surprised too.”
“And I guess this method keeps your soldiers at safe distance?” Taki asked.
“Yes. Unlike the sword, the gun does not require its user to risk getting injured or killed in a direct confrontation. Provided the enemy don’t also use guns or archers, that is.”
“Fascinating,” Taki continued, “But, how would you know who you kill? I mean, isn’t it customary for samurai warriors to state their names before duelling?”
“That’s in theory, my lady. In practice, many battles were fought without exact records of who killed whom. Well, usually the victims are soldiers, and…“ Tanegashima lowered his voice “sometimes soldiers’ names are not that important. Commanders mostly do the duelling, and even while duelling with guns we can still state our names first. But I feel that the tradition would eventually give way to modern warfare with guns. We would need to update our traditions to keep up with the changing times.”
Taki smiled meaningfully and continued to watch the training. But Miyamasa had taken over and changed the session into formations practice, without guns. So she did not stay long and she returned to her quarters with her companions. As they left they passed Shoi, Tanegashima’s personal bodyguard. The towering samurai tried to show some modesty by greeting them with a polite bow.
“Good morning, lady Mayumi,” Shoi said as he bowed, resting his wooden club on the ground.
“Good morning officer Shoi,” Okiyo answered on behalf of Taki, “I see that you’ve learned a little bit of courtesy…” Shoi did not reply to Okiyo’s remark and continued on his way.
“He’s trying to impress you,” Okiyo said to Taki, “so that he can get Kagami on his bed. What do you think?”
“Well, I don’t know… If it could be useful of our plans I won’t mind,” Taki said. But then she saw Kagami flinch at her comment.
“What, are you afraid?” Taki said sternly to her apprentice.
“…n …no,” Kagami timidly answered, her face blushing.
“Whatever you think or feel, the job must be done at all costs,” Taki spoke, “It’s your fate. …Our fate.”
***
Seeing the courtesan left, Miyamasa approached Tanegashima.
Miyamasa Isamu“My suspicion’s no longer moderate,” Miyamasa stated, “I am now on high alert concerning that woman. Last night, when you were with her, I noticed that three of her companions were missing: the young girl, the big man, and the small man. And I saw a man in black clothes sneaking around the base.”
“So what should I do?” Tanegashima asked.
“Keep a weapon nearby at all times. And always have Shoi guard you. I made a mistake last night when I assigned the two men that asked for a leave to guard your room. They weren’t guarding you; instead they were watching you and her. As punishment I locked them for a day in the dungeon.”
“Very well then,” Tanegashima replied, while thinking ‘What do all of this mean?’
***
Later that evening...
“Any other modifications to our plan?” asked Okiyo.
“No, I guess. Kou, how’s your preparation?” Taki said.
Taki“Air’s no longer moist, and I think it won’t rain again, so tonight would be a good time to blow things up,” Kou, the explosives expert, spoke, “Although, I would prefer to be at our target’s side this time, considering the fun they’ll get tonight.”
“Go ahead, if you dare,” Okiyo growled, “You’ve just demonstrated that you think with your dick. You know that this could be their last chance of having fun.”
Kou just laughed, “Old hag, you’re just jealous because nobody wants to fuck you, and our pretty boss gets all the guys.”
Okiyo suddenly shot forward and pressed a dagger blade to Kou’s neck, saying angrily, “You son of a bitch, I’ll settle this with you after the mission. Don’t you forget that!”
“Try me,” Kou reacted to the threat without losing his arrogance.
“Now, now, cut it out, you two,” Taki stepped in between them, “No duels or quarrels while I’m in charge. Let’s get this mission over with and then you two can do anything you want.”
Okiyo released Kou. Taki then gave the final order, “Alright, tonight we get the job done. You all know what you’re supposed to do, and no screw-ups. Now get going, everyone.”
With a last nod of confirmation from Taki, the four ninja left. Taki checked her preparations. Her hair was rolled up on top and held in place by a hair ornament shaped like a long, thin spike with a decorated and. This article would do the job tonight…
***
Later, that night
Taki did not waste any time in getting herself naked for Tanegashima’s pleasure. Just minutes after Shoi let her enter Tanegashima’s room, her clothes are already at the floor, leaving only her socks and a large hair ornament that kept her hair tied up neatly in a small bun. Without much fuss she approached Tanegashima and pushed him gently backward into a reclining position. She worked her right hand to give some life to Tanegashima’s penis. Somehow she saw that the man was not as excited as yesterday--as if he was losing interest in her. Yet he got bolder than yesterday and returned her favour by massaging her breast.
Looking at the courtesan, Tanegashima felt perplexed. He did not want to believe that Mayumi was up to something; however, Miyamasa’s words instil some suspicion into his mind. Mayumi was sent by Lord Urakami, but why did her servants make suspicious moves?
Meanwhile Taki managed to make Tanegashima’s member erect again. The stimulation gave Tanegashima some relaxation, slowly breaking the mental fortress built by Miyamasa’s warning. He had some weapons stored nearby, and Shoi stood guard outside. This made him feel more secure, and he decided to let the woman do her job. What could she possibly do?
Taki shifted forward and put Tanegashima’s erection at the entry to her sex. She smiled and thrust herself onto his cock, but Tanegashima seem reluctant and tense. To this she smiled and whispered, “Please don’t be so shy, sir, let me help you relax…”
The warmth and tightness of her private parts only fuelled Tanegashima’s desire, while he fought hard not to succumb to those primal urges. Taki on the other hand was determined to give Tanegashima an intense night. For the intensity would keep Tanegashima, her target, vulnerable to what she planned to do…
Taki went up and down Tanegashima’s member, her smooth snatch getting dampened by her love juices. Instantaneously, and instinctively, Tanegashima’s body got the hang of her rhythm and followed her motions. He was trying to keep it easy and slow, but she was in charge and she wanted it unrestrained and frantic. He could do nothing but follow as she took his body to the peak. And it happened so sudden--in a matter of seconds he went over the top and filled her with his come. And she followed suit, screaming loudly as she fell down on top of his body, breathing heavily. She desperately wanted it to be real, but her body did not cooperate, and once more she was acting as if she had just experienced a climax.
He could not grasp what was on her mind. Her body felt so sultry and heavenly, and her cunt was still throbbing around his dick, forcing his sperm into her. Her head rested on his chest and her left arm was around him, her fingertips caressing his back. He tried to remove his shaft out of her but she didn’t want that to happen. She started moving her hips again, going for another round. Her right hand reached the top of her head and she unfastened the large hairpin that held her hair up, freeing her raven strands. As she did that, she moved her face to his, giving him a passionate kiss for the first time since yesterday, trying to make him focus his attention to her lips and tongue, and nothing else. Without Tanegashima noticing, she gripped the hair ornament tight, lifting her hand silently, aiming the hairpin’s sharpened point at Tanegashima’s artery, waiting for the right minute to strike.
As her tongue battled with Tanegashima’s, she brought the deadly hairpin down, striking at his neck.
And this time, Tanegashima felt very fortunate to have listened to Miyamasa. He never kept his guard down, not even when the courtesan kissed him passionately, and he saw the flash of a moving metallic object towards his neck. He turned away in panic and the disguised weapon did struck deep, not on his large artery, but on his shoulder muscle instead. His eyes were open wide in partial disbelief as he saw the courtesan‘s hand holding the weapon. He wanted to grab her but she pushed him back and pulled out the hairpin. Blood flowed from Tanegashima’s wounded shoulder, as the wound widened when Mayumi pulled the weapon out.
Tanegashima got to his feet. Following Miyamasa’s advice he had stored some weapons in his room, and he grabbed the nearest one, a loaded gun. Just then he realized the gun was worthless because he had no match to light its wick. He shouted, “Shoi!! Get here!”
As Shoi broke through the door he saw the courtesan Mayumi charging with the sharp hairpin for Tanegashima’s heart. Tanegashima jumped to the side and grabbed Mayumi’s arm, using the momentum to push her towards his bodyguard. “Get her!” he yelled, as he felt a sharp pain on his wounded shoulder. The weapon was poisoned.
Shoi stood between Taki and a possible escape, the broken door. Taki tried to find another way out. She decided to break though a window, but Shoi dashed to follow her move, with his weapon, a long club studded with little blunt spikes, getting on her way. Desperately Taki threw the hairpin to Shoi’s face. Foolish move, for not only she missed, she also lost her weapon. “No!” she screamed, as the huge bodyguard tackled her and pinned her down. The assassination attempt had failed.
Shoi stooped over the naked girl’s body, his heavy knee on the back of her stomach, his hands twisting her arm. “Aii! No!!” The failed assassin screamed from the pain. Tanegashima leaned back to the wall, holding his wounded shoulder which continued to bleed, breathing heavily. “Good,” he panted. Miyamasa’s suspicions had just been proven correct.
***
Kou pulled out a small bamboo tube. The tube was filled with a combustible liquid and its top end was plugged with a piece of cloth.
“Fire-starting device,” Kou said, “After we get the explosives in, we light one of these and throw it into the explosives. And then, boom!”
Kou, Niji, and Okiyo were perched on the barrack’s roof, unseen and unheard by the samurai. The gun and gunpowder storage was just a long leap away from their place, but for the moment it was still too dangerous to go there, because there were some 15 samurai standing alert around the storage buildings.
Okiyo heard some commotion coming from the direction of the officer room. She knew what had happened. They must have captured Taki.
“They got her,” briefly she passed the observation to the others.
Kou grinned, but none of his team-mates noticed because his mouth was hidden behind a mask. He said, “And then they will have fun with her.”
“That’s not important to you. We’ll just wait for some more, and then after those guys go we get in,” Okiyo said.
“What I don’t understand is why she told Kagami to follow her instead of here with us,” Kou uttered.
“You must understand that she’s not trained to do my or your job, but Taki’s job. I think Taki wants to give her a taste of her future. Yesterday she got back all tense and aroused. Taki had told her to watch what she’s doing, and she did just that.”
“I envy the girl,” Kou stated, “Why do I get stuck here with the old witch instead of seeing our boss in action?”
“Then pray that you’ll be born a cute girl like her in the next life, if you are that desperate. I can help you make it happen faster, just wait after the mission and I’ll promise you a slow, painful death,” Okiyo threatened.
“Not if I can make you explode to bits first,” Kou responded squarely, “And I won’t want to see you in your next life, ‘cause you’ll just be a demon or toad or something.”
Okiyo lost interest in exchanging insults with Kou. She never liked the insolent explosives expert, but he’s the key man in the mission, for he knew how to destroy things effectively.
“I wonder if she’ll be alright,” Okiyo muttered to herself, “She’s not too good in stealth and I wonder if she could bear to see what would happen to Taki. There’s a chance that she might get into actual action sooner than she expected…”
“Speaking of stealth, what do you think about the man just behind us?” Kou spoke, “No, not Niji. The other one, who thought nobody could see him.”
“I predict that someone would see him, but not us. If that happens, let him handle it himself; just don’t let him see us.”
***
The barrack was a large building. On the far end of the roof, Mitsurugi Heishiro crouched, wearing black clothes, examining the surroundings. He had been lurking in the secret base for a day, since he was certain that Taki, who had given him a hint earlier, might do bad things that would harm his lord. Although he had fallen out of favour, Mitsurugi was still fiercely loyal to Lord Urakami, and he thought that if he could prevent whatever Taki’s trying to do he could return to Lord Urakami’s service proudly. He arrived some time after Taki’s arrival, and he had successfully kept himself hidden while spying. He suspected that Taki was sent to assassinate Tanegashima; therefore the ninja woman was his main focus.
Yet Mitsurugi could not help but feel a little jealous to Tanegashima, when he saw Taki, disguised as First Class Courtesan Mayumi, spend the night with Tanegashima. He could not see what happened inside Tanegashima’s room, but he was sure that she’s giving him a good time. Having known Taki for some time, especially in the hunt for Soul Edge, Mitsurugi somehow felt a little attracted towards the sexy kunoichi. Yet at the same time he hated how she always mocked him for his always being uptight, and he strongly disapproved her devious ways.
It was rumoured that Lord Urakami wanted Mitsurugi to become his family member by marrying his daughter or sister to him, but so far none such advances had been realized. Mitsurugi found some qualities he liked in Taki, particularly her bravery and straightforwardness, but he also thought that he should not try to approach her, for her dubious status as a ninja might be unacceptable in his community.
The samurai heard some noise coming from Tanegashima’s room. He knew that Taki was there, and this prompted him to go there. It could be Taki trying to kill his rival. His sense of loyalty to Lord Urakami eclipsed all other considerations and he was determined to stop Taki, even if it would include helping the loathed Tanegashima.
Mitsurugi was never trained in stealth. He thought that nobody had seen him, while he didn’t realize that his presence had been known by Taki’s ninja crew and even Miyamasa Isamu, the old advisor. Thanks to his lack of stealth skills, his move towards Tanegashima’s room was noticed by Miyamasa, who were monitoring the base with some soldiers.
***
Miyamasa caught a glimpse of a shadow on the barrack roof. He told his five followers to be quiet, and he pulled an arrow from his quiver, putting it on his bow and aiming at the shadow. Whoever that was, he or she was careless in standing against the moonlight, and the trespasser’s body outline was clearly visible. The shadow did not move. Good, Miyamasa thought, I am not noticed. Determined to give his target a shock, Miyamasa fired.
“You, get Officer Tanegashima. The others follow me, let’s get him, “ Miyamasa commanded quickly, bent on catching his target. He ran with his soldiers to the other side of the building. One soldier went to inform Tanegashima.
Hearing footsteps and sounds, Mitsurugi decided it’s better to get away. He jumped off the roof, and again landed in the wrong place, right in front of Miyamasa and his men. Seeing Miyamasa, he cursed his luck; they were not the best of friends, and Miyamasa had always considered him his rival in the office politics among Lord Urakami’s men. Of course, his identity was still hidden to Miyamasa, thanks to the mask that covered his face. But Mitsurugi saw no point in revealing himself to them and trying to explain why he was sneaking around at night in the secret base. So he rushed away from them, trying to get away to the woods around the base. However, Miyamasa won’t give up the chase and the pursuit continued into the darkness of the forest surrounding the base.
***
Kagami witnessed Taki’s failed assassination attempt and subsequent defeat with disbelief. She was sure that her mentor was skilled enough defeat Tanegashima and Shoi, even without weapons. So why was Taki lying face down, writhing in pain as Shoi twisted her arm? Kagami was clueless. Her earlier instructions from Taki were to stay hidden and keep an eye on her, whatever her mentor’s doing. And Taki told her not to try to save her, if anything unusual should happen. So she followed her there, hiding behind the ceiling like the night before. But she was not prepared to see what happened next. And she hesitated. Should she come down there and save Taki? In her hesitation she made a wrong move and her feet stepped on a thin part of the roof, making a cracking sound.
KagamiSeveral soldiers had arrived, drawn by the noise. They brought some rope and they used the rope to tie Taki up, so Shoi no longer need to pin her down. Shoi had heard strange noises from the ceiling, and he was thinking that maybe another person was there, maybe the assassin’s companion.
Taki offered no resistance as the soldiers tied her up. However, she became worried when she saw Shoi noticing the ceiling. Kagami! her mind screamed. Don’t let them discover you!
A moment of silence passed. Then with a loud scream Shoi drove his club into the ceiling, breaking through the covering. The blow struck right at Kagami’s position, and the rest of the ceiling could not support her weight and collapsed. The younger ninja girl had a limited visibility of the scene below, and Shoi was positioned outside her view, so she couldn’t anticipate Shoi’s attack. Kagami reacted too late and she fell down to Tanegashima’s room, much to everyone’s surprise, including Taki.
“If you get caught, I would not help you even if they torture or kill you,” Kagami remembered Taki’s warning, which she had repeated to her that evening before she left, and it was clear that she’s on her own. She carried a pair of long, straight knives for protection, and now would be a good time to rely on them for her life. She darted to the broken door, where two soldiers stood, and she managed to get through them unharmed. Without a sound, Taki watched her apprentice try to escape.
The two soldiers that Kagami had just passed came back from their shock when Tanegashima ordered, “Don’t just stand there, stop her!” They turned and ran after the ninja. Two other soldiers helped Tanegashima stand up. He obviously needed medical assistance.
Seeing the now-bound Mayumi, Tanegashima ordered, “Shoi, take her to the dungeon, lock her there. We’ll question her after this wound is taken care of. And get Senior Officer Miyamasa.”
***
In the darkness of the forest, Mitsurugi ran blindly to avoid Miyamasa and his men. Yet the noise he made as he crashed through the vegetation still gave away his position to his pursuers. And he did not know what lies ahead, because of the low visibility. On the other hand, one of Miyamasa’s soldiers carried a torch that helped them see in the shadows, and more importantly, track Mitsurugi from his conspicuous trail of broken bushes and twigs.
One of Miyamasa’s soldiers reacted first, without waiting for command, rushing into Mitsurugi which was standing in the swamp. Apparently he was trying to be the one who caught the mysterious trespasser. He lifted his sword and yelled as he ran towards Mitsurugi. Instinctively Mitsurugi prepared himself for a deadly impact, and the hasty soldier paid with his life as Mitsurugi’s katana went through his body.
But the soldier won’t just give up and die. As he fell forward, he managed to grasp and pull down Mitsurugi’s mask, blowing up his cover. The torch-bearer stepped forward and pointed the torch to the suspected man’s face. Light fell on Mitsurugi’s face and Miyamasa instantly recognized him.
“Mitsurugi Heishiro?”
Mitsurugi froze. He had nowhere to go, and he had just been cornered into an awkward position.
“You…” Miyamasa hissed, “Attempting sabotage on us, eh? I’m sure Lord Urakami wouldn’t be happy to know that…”
“Senior Advisor Miyamasa. Listen to me; I got a good explanation for…” Mitsurugi’s attempt to make his position clear was cut short by the battle cry of two of Miyamasa’s soldiers. Without much thinking, he defended himself, and he proved that his reputation as the One Man Army as he killed both men with a great slash that went through their bodies.
Now Mitsurugi had only one way out of the tangle, that is, by killing everyone who had seen him, most importantly Miyamasa. Sparing any of them would only put his honour in jeopardy. Determined to kill the all, Mitsurugi charged like a wild animal, and within minutes he had killed most of them. Miyamasa and the torch-bearer managed to survive Mitsurugi’s frantic attacks for a while. Seeing that they were no match for the angry Mitsurugi, they both turned back and ran.
Panicked, Mitsurugi threw his sword at them, hoping to strike at least one of them down before they could get away. It was Miyamasa who got the unlucky end of it, as the sword found his back. His last words were an order to the torch-bearer, as he screamed, “Tell everyone about this!!” Without turning back to check on Miyamasa, he disappeared among the shadows of large trees.
Mitsurugi panted, tired from the unexpected burst of action. As he pulled his sword out of Miyamasa’s dead body, he knew that his reputation was now in great danger. Earlier, he was just guilty of sneaking into a secret base. Now he had killed a senior officer in Lord Urakami’s service. If the torch-bearer was able to return to the base and tell the men that he just saw Mitsurugi kill Miyamasa, it would mean the end of his lifelong devotion to the Urakami clan. Determined to keep the incident a secret, he chased after the torch-bearer. The soldier had gone far, but that did not stop Mitsurugi. He had to kill the last witness.
***
Taki could only hope that Kagami possibly would escape. The last thing she saw of her apprentice was her safe exit from Tanegashima’s room. This was not in her plan (although she had considered Kagami’s weakness in stealth). Of course, things weren’t so good for her either. She was bound tight and guarded, and the soldiers had taken her away from Tanegashima’s room. She remembered Kou and Niji’s earlier report that there is an unused dungeon under the main building. That’s where they took her. The dungeon was only a short walk from Tanegashima’s room.
The dungeon turned out to be a small, dark underground room, illuminated by feeble torchlight. It was accessible from a door behind the main building. Inside there were a prison cell surrounded by strong wooden bars at the front side and earthen walls at the other sides. Two men were sleeping in the cell. They were the guards that were posted outside Tanegashima’s room the night before, and they were there because Miyamasa punished them after he found out that the guards were peeping on Tanegashima and Mayumi.
“You two, get out,” the highest-ranked among the soldiers that escorted Taki commanded, “And guard her for a while. Officer Tanegashima would be here soon.”
Tanegashima had been taken for treatment. His wound was quite painful, due to the poison on Taki’s hair ornament, but not fatal. He has commanded his men to lock the courtesan in the dungeon for a while, and prevent her if she’s trying to kill herself, because he wanted to extract information from her. He also told Shoi to get Miyamasa and try to capture the assassin that fell into his room after the courtesan’s attempt at him had failed.
Quickly Taki assessed the situation. She was naked and bound tight in the prison cell. She had no weapons with her. And she must admit, she could not break out from her bondage easily; the rope was tough and the guards apparently knew how to tie people. There were two other persons in the dungeon, the two samurai who were assigned to guard her. As she looked at them, she remembered them, the two guards that she met the night before outside Tanegashima’s room.
After the others left, the two guards checked who the new prisoner was. And they were surprised when they found Mayumi, the beautiful courtesan, bound and curled in a fetal position inside the cell.
“Lady Mayumi!” one of them said in astonishment, “Wha… what are you doing in here!?”
Taki thought of the response she would give to them. These guys did not know what had happened before. She knew that she had to escape, if just to help Kagami. Could she use them?
And, in front of their curious eyes, she wept. “Officers,” she said between her sobs, “Please help me. Please let me go…”
“What happened, my lady, why are you sent here?” one asked.
“I… I was with Officer Tanegashima when suddenly an assassin dropped into the room from behind the ceiling. The assassin attacked and wounded Officer Tanegashima, but was driven away by Officer Shoi who guarded outside the room. Unfortunately the assassin escaped, but... but I don’t know why, Officer Tanegashima suddenly said that I was collaborating with the assassin, and he said that Officer Miyamasa had suspected me. And they tied me up and sent me here, because they think I am guilty…” Taki ends her words by breaking into tears again, hoping to convince the two guards.
The two guards listened attentively at the story Taki made up. In their mind, she had been wrongly accused, and she should not be there.
“Please, good sirs, you must help me, release me,” Taki begged, “Help me get out of here… Officer Tanegashima might kill or torture me…”
“What do you think?” one guard asked the other, “You think we should help her?”
“I don’t know… I believe that Lady Mayumi is innocent, but I don’t know what our superiors would say if we let her go….”
“I beg you, sirs; I don’t want to get hurt… I’ll do anything if you two would help me…”
The two guards hesitated. Taki felt that she needs to push them further.
“Please, sir… They’ll kill me if I don’t get out of here…” Taki pleaded, “You won’t have to get involved.”
One of the guards came to her and entered the cell. Taki was still bound so he thought the woman could not go away. He crouched and checked her. He saw the face of the beauty that had mesmerized him the night before, but in a more miserable condition. He looked at her pleading eyes and he was quite certain that the woman should not be there. On the other hand, the sight of her naked and bound body was pulling at his lust. The guard was formerly a ronin, living freely but poorly and without honour, and he would sometimes resort to criminal activities to stay alive. He had just earned his honour back when he enlisted to Lord Urakami’s gun squad, but the years of living without a master had worn down his earlier samurai attitude.
The former ronin gazed nervously at Taki. Damn, he thought, she’s so hot all naked and bound like that. And the reason she’s here was to be fucked by Tanegashima. That lucky bastard, how come he told us we can’t have a day off to bang some local whores while he was SENT one by the big boss?
“Lady Mayumi, I can get you out of here. And… you said you’d do anything I want?”
***
Shouts of men caught up with Kagami, who’s trying her hardest to escape. Glancing over her shoulder, she saw three men at her tail. What she did not realize was that she was running into three other men who were out having a break. These men were as surprised as her when they bumped into each other. Kagami went down but she quickly pulled out her knives and stabbed the life out of one. Seeing his friend dead, the other men that collided with her rushed and grabbed her. As she frantically scrambled trying to stand up and run away, the three other men caught up with her. She tried to attack with her knives, but the men who had grabbed her quickly stopped her hands. The others managed to seize her knives and threw them far away. Still Kagami did not give up, as she kicked and thrashed wildly. But the five men were too strong for her and although she managed to deliver some nasty blows she soon found four of them securing each of her limbs. The other one pulled out a short sword and pressed its blade to her neck.
“Should we help her?” Kou, perching unnoticed on the barrack roof, asked after he saw that Kagami had been captured. Kou, Niji, and Okiyo were at some distance from Kagami’s position.
“At present she’s irrelevant to our task, so we’ll just ignore her,” Okiyo said sternly, “I guess it’s her own fault that she was discovered. If she dies, she dies. If she’s smart, she’ll find a way to stay alive, and she might even help Taki by doing so.”
Kou smirked. “Then I guess I’ll just enjoy the proceedings. Too bad I can’t get closer.”
***
“Suck.”
Taki stared at the guard’s half-erect cock. She knew that it would come down to this. She had secured a deal with the guard that he’d help her escape safely in return of some sexual favours. She promised that if he could help her escape and return to her own place, he could sleep with her for free whenever he wanted. The man agreed to the deal, and for down payment he wanted a blowjob from her, right away. Taki agreed, on the condition that he released her from the ropes.
She took his cock into her mouth and sucked intensely. She wanted to make him cum as fast as possible. The guard couldn’t believe his luck as he felt great pleasure from her stimulation.
Of course the other guard did not just sat and watched. Thinking that his friend was monopolizing the beauty, he approached them, eager to claim his share.
“Hey, am I not part of the deal?” he hissed to the former ronin.
Taki stopped and said, “Of course sir, I would also need your help.”
“Then I also get a part of this,” he said, pulling his pants down. Taki’s fingers caressed his balls, and his manhood got stiff. At the same time, her mouth returned to please the former ronin’s cock. He pumped his member in and out her mouth to add speed.
Taki felt the former ronin’s body tremble as he shot his cum down her throat. “Heh, you’re great,” he whispered in pleasure. He pulled out and shot the rest of his load all over her face, himself disbelieving his own luck that he could spread his cum over such a beautiful face. Quickly Taki moved to the other guard’s penis, shifting attention from his balls to his tip, kissing and licking it before sucking his whole erection.
***
“Well well, look at what we got here.”
With her arms and legs held tight by four men, and a blade menacing her neck, Kagami could not do anything when her captors ripped away her mask and revealed her face.
“…Aren’t she Lady Mayumi’s young servant?” one of them remembered.
“Guess she is. We’ve been chasing her from the officers’ room. She’d been hiding behind the ceiling,” another one, who had chased Kagami after she escaped from Tanegashima’s room, said. He then explained the events that happened to the two men who weren’t around at that time.
“You mean she, and Lady Mayumi, are assassins?” one of them asked.
“I think so. Officer Tanegashima’s injured; Mayumi stabbed him. But that woman’s already captured alive.”
“So what do we do to this one? She’s clearly dangerous, she killed Sawa on the spot,” another asked, pointing to their dead friend, whom Kagami stabbed when she ran into him earlier, “Should we kill her, or keep her alive?”
The soldier who ripped her mask looked at her face lustfully. The 17-year-old kunoichi was simply beautiful. The only exposed part of her was her whole face, delicately figured with dark eyes, a cute small nose, and lavish lips around her tiny mouth. He reached forward to stroke her cheek, and his fingers discovered her soft skin. The girl was frightened, but she could not break free, not with four men holding her limbs and a sword near her throat. The soldier heard his friend’s question. What should we do with the assassin? What should we do with this… pretty young bitch?
He grinned and said, “You know, I think we should kill her. But I’ll ask you first: would you waste such a cute thing right away?”
The others laughed as they knew what he meant. One said, “Yea, at least we could have fun with her first. But don’t you think it’s dangerous? I mean, she could kill people easily.”
“Not if we could keep her from doing so,” the first soldier answered, “Just like what we do now. She’s harmless if she can’t move like this, right? And I’ll check if she has other weapons hidden.”
“No….no… umfff!!” Kagami’s protests were muffled as the soldier in front of her used a piece of cloth that was her mask to gag her. Then he checked for hidden weapons, which involved him slicing away her clothes, exposing her torso for them to see. Parts of her outfit still clung to her limbs, because the other soldiers did not release their grip when their comrade stripped the girl. Otherwise she was naked. The soldier behind her, that was holding her arm, also pulled her head cover, revealing her long black hair. Kagami’s body were in the process of becoming feminine, with compact-sized round breasts, a thin waist, small but firm buttocks, and shapely legs. The soldiers were rewarded with the dazzling sight of her body, and their mouths watered as a result.
“You mind if I go first?” the soldier in front of Kagami asked his pals.
“Just get on with it, and then it’s my turn,” the man holding Kagami’s left leg said, “Wha… Hey! Stop moving so much, bitch!” Kagami was getting desperate and she put more effort into trying to release herself from their hands. One of the soldiers slapped her, cussing, “Don’t move, cunt!”
But Kagami saw no reason to stay still. Especially when she saw that the man in front of her had pulled down his pants and placed his erection on her crotch.
***
“Mmmnmm,” Taki mumbled as the guard pumped her mouth full of his cum. He grasped her head tight, not letting her go, and she was forced to swallow his load. The other guard, the former ronin, walked to her behind. Apparently he was trying to get more than what he bargained for. Taki could not protest because she was busy handling the flood of cum coming into her mouth. Before she had anything to say he was already getting his member into her pussy. She complained but both men did not hear. They were busy making the best of what little chance they have with the first class courtesan.
The banging sound of the dungeon door being opened forcefully shocked all three of them. Tanegashima, accompanied by several soldiers, entered the room. His wound has been tended and he wanted to check the prisoner. But he was surprised at the sight in front of him. The courtesan Mayumi was between the two guards, one fucking her from behind and the other has his cock in Mayumi’s mouth.
“What are you doing? And why is she not tied up?” Tanegashima asked angrily. Without waiting for their answer, Tanegashima ordered the men that came with him to break the threesome and tie up Mayumi again.
“Take her away. I want to know who sent her to kill me. And you two… dammit, what should I do with you!?...”
***
Kagami was determined to do anything to escape. The soldiers who were holding her had a hard time keeping her down, although she could only manage tugs and pulls. The soldier that was going to fuck her touted the sword he carried near Kagami’s face, but to his surprise, the girl moved as if she wanted to grab the sword with her teeth. This should have been difficult, because her mouth was still stuffed with her own mask. Clearly she was that desperate.
The sword was put back. “Oh no, you can’t die that easily,” the man holding it said, “This isn’t working… Well, then I guess we’ll have to handle you some other way?”
“Know what?” the soldier said to Kagami, “If you can just stay still and enjoy it, then it’s better for you.” As he said that he started running his index finger into her genital folds. She tried to move away, escaping the sensation created by his fingers.
“She’s got a great body, don’t you think?” the soldier who was fingering her said to his friends. They smiled in agreement and began to work their hands all over Kagami’s body, caressing her face, thighs, stomach, breasts. Kagami’s protests were muffled by the gag, and the soldiers could only hear whimpers and moans. “Hehe, she likes it,” one of them said, misinterpreting the muffled protests. As they play around with her body, Kagami felt her body became tense. She’s losing control of herself and her breathing became quicker.
Seconds later, Kagami’s muffled protests disintegrated into heavy sighs and pants, out of her own control. Her bodily instincts had betrayed her and welcomed the touch of the strangers. Their caressing and fondling had stimulated her desire, and this only made her feel ashamed. She could not break free from their hold, and she felt less in control of her own strength.
“Right, she likes it,” another said, “See that? Her nipples are getting hard.” He pinched her nipple, causing her to scream in surprise. Another one got hold of her other breast and started massaging it. He then bent forward and used his tongue on its teat.
Kagami wriggled around, feeling disturbed and aroused at the same time, gasping like mad. She could feel that her pussy was getting wet, and she couldn’t believe that these men succeeded in arousing her. She struggled to defy her surrendering body and not allow the soldiers humiliate her further, but how could she escape?
The men take turns in molesting her breasts, licking her neck, teasing her labia, tenderly and roughly, never missing a second without giving her some kind of stimulation. Kagami’s body responded properly to such intense teasing and she could not suppress the moans of pleasure it brought about. Sweat broke on her skin as she felt the heat of passion raging across her body. She wished desperately for them to stop and let her go or just kill her instead of using her, anything but this. She felt a wave of passion getting bigger within her body, torturing her mind, pushing her to the limit…
At last Kagami could not handle it any more. Her body arched and stiffened as she experienced her first orgasm. The soldiers laughed as they saw the girl made a mess of herself. They even pulled out her gag just to hear her scream in pleasure.
“Mmmmm… Oohhh!!!”
“Heh heh heh. How’s that? You really like it don’t you?” one of the soldiers commented. Kagami was reeling from her climax, breathing hard, trying frantically to regain control of her body. The soldier in front of her scooped up her juice with his fingers and tasted it.
“Hold her, I’m going in,” he said while prying over her fold open, his cock throbbing in anticipation. It’s been a long time since he had been with a woman, not since he enlisted to be a soldier for the Urakami clan, and he had forgotten that the girl in front of him was a ninja, a suspected assassin. All he thought was to release his load into her cunt.
Kagami tried to pull away from the man in front of her, but she couldn’t, she was worn out by her previous orgasm and she’s still in the arms of four other men. She could only stare in dismay at the approaching cock. She felt sick, yet her aroused body pushed her to submit.
The soldier licked his lips as he set his eyes on Kagami’s drenched cunt. He reached down and grabbed his bloated cock. There’s no stopping now. Kagami moaned in mixed pain and pleasure as the soldier plunged his erection into her cunt, destroying her virginity in the process. His hard shaft broke through easily, due to the wetness.
“No…,” Kagami whimpered weakly, unable to resist the humiliation. The other men were not satisfied by just watching, as they started working on her body again, flooding Kagami’s senses with stimulation she had never experienced before. Her breathing stopped short as the man in front of her started pushing and pulling, his stiff cock making its way back and forth her vagina tunnel.
“Damn this bitch is tight,” the soldier whispered. To this Kagami could only respond with a weak groan. Instinctively, her hips moved to meet his movements, giving him extra arousal. She was shocked to realize her body’s betrayal; however, it felt so good… She winced at the thought that she could enjoy this embarrassing experience.
“It’s your fate… Our fate.”
Those words of Taki flashed through Kagami’s mind. Taki had reminded her about that when she commented that she’d let Shoi have her if it’s relevant to her mission. It was her fate to be born in a ninja clan. It was her fate to be blessed with such qualities that made the clan entrusted her to be Taki’s apprentice, to become a seductress-kunoichi, to perform specific tasks that required her own body. In her earlier training sessions, Taki always told her again and again that the ninja should always be resourceful at all times, turning disadvantages into advantages, and making use of any advantage however small. Kagami had watched her mentor having sex with Tanegashima, who was a mission objective, and she knew that she would do the same in the future. Although Kagami had never witnessed her mentor engage in the more extreme acts, Taki had shared and discussed some of her exploits, and she’d scold Kagami every time the girl showed some kind of disgust or fright. She should expect not just easy things, but she should also be able to endure capture, pain, torture, and humiliation. She should have no inhibitions in order to be able to accomplish every kind of mission entrusted to her.
Taki also told her that unlike the samurai class, who believed that death is the only way out after losing honour, the ninja must always be able to survive. Death was worthless if not relevant for the mission, and it’s better to stay alive to fight another day. The ninja need not be worried about status or honour, for it only made things complicated, like the affairs of the samurai class.
And now, Kagami decided that it’s better to submit to fate. If she struggled some more she might be killed. That way she could escape being humiliated but it’s all over for her. But if she gave the men what they want, a hot cunt to dump their sperm in, she might be able to escape death. She had decided her short-term mission for herself, to stay alive and keep the five men busy until she can find a way to flee.
The cock thrusting in and out Kagami’s vagina had seriously worked her up. And she had made a decision to stop resisting and join playing, savouring her first experience of sexual intercourse. She revelled in the pleasure overflowing through her youthful body. The soldier fucking her was getting intense, his balls banging against her hot crotch as he moved even faster. Her hips were wet from the unending flow of honey from her excited pussy. Kagami was pervaded by the sensation of having a cock fill her inside, sending messages of desire and pleasure to her brain. She could see that the cock’s owner feel quite the same. His face displayed tension, and it could only mean one thing. As he was pushing as deep as possible inside her, he came.
A little surprised, Kagami sensed the soldier’s cock tighten and explode inside her. She yelled loudly as her womb received the man’s ejaculation, shaking helplessly as he shot his thick white load into her.
After discharging his whole load, the first soldier pulled out of her cum-filled vagina, fighting for breath, satisfied with the unexpected entertainment provided by Kagami. He grinned in satisfaction as one of his friends told him to hold her left leg; it was his turn now.
Kagami was still, relaxed, trying to catch her breath after an intense first session. No, it’s not over yet, there are four more men and she must endure their lust too.
***
Taki was taken by Tanegashima and his men to the large hall in the main building, where Tanegashima greeted her arrival yesterday. Her hands were tied behind her back and the soldiers pushed her roughly, occasionally taking a chance to spank her buttocks. Tanegashima looked as if in great pain. His wound had been dressed, but Taki knew that the poison in his wound was not to be easily neutralized. It won’t kill Tanegashima, but it would cause him pain and disorientation.
The soldiers secured her as they untie her hands and re-tie her between two wooden pillars in the middle of the hall. She was forced to kneel, her arms spread as each hand was secured to each pillar. Tanegashima sat in front of the nude and bound Taki while his men surrounded her.
Taki tried to keep herself in control and stay calm. She was expecting this. It was no coincidence that she failed to kill Tanegashima and got captured, because after all killing Tanegashima was not part of her plan. But to be captured and questioned was in her plan. She hoped to deliver vital information to them, something that would make her client satisfied with her job. And she was curious of what they would do to her…
The soldiers were not just securing her hands. Some of them had other ideas in mind. They wrapped the rough rope around her body several times, above, below, and between her breasts, and tightened the knots. Then they pulled the rope downward to her crotch, running it over her cunt and pulling it from behind so the rough material sunk into her folds. Then they secured the rest into a knot behind their back. They were satisfied with the position she’s forced to take. Her big jugs protrude obscenely forward, constricted by the ropes around their base, and the rope also settled between her folds.
Tanegashima walked forward and crouched, his eyes straight into hers.
“Who sent you?” he asked calmly.
Taki said nothing and stared back at her captors defiantly. No, she won’t answer them that easily.
The highest ranked soldier that accompanied Tanegashima in the interrogation was named Igata, a former prison guard in his late thirties. Before joining the army he served under the Bizen court as a prison guard and executioner, and he was familiar with these situations. He was a violent man who enjoyed his former job, torturing people into giving confession and delivering death sentences. He signed up for the gun squad because he was curious about the new weapon--could it be used for execution?--but after seeing Tanegashima in action these few months, he was disappointed with Tanegashima’s weak leadership. And now he found an opportunity to take charge.
Tanegashima felt sick. The pain caused by the poison was overwhelming his mind, making it hard for him to concentrate. Seeing Tanegashima’s unfit state, Igata offered his service.
“Officer Tanegashima, you’re not well. Leave this to me. I will make her reveal who is behind this plot.”
Without waiting for Tanegashima to agree, Igata walked to Taki. Then all of a sudden he slapped her face hard.
SLAP!
“Aah!” Taki yelled in surprise. Igata slapped her again, causing another scream. Then he grabbed Taki’s cheeks and forced her to look straight to his face. Taki was surprised by the former executioner’s brutal actions. The slaps left red marks on her cheeks. She saw Igata’s face, his wild eyes radiating cruelty.
“Answer him, woman. Who sent you?”
“I won’t speak. Just kill me,” Taki managed to keep her stance.
Igata went to her back and grabbed her hair, pulling her head back to him.
“You don’t understand your circumstances do you? Answer me!”
Igata kicked her uncovered crotch from behind. Taki screamed in pain and slumped forward on her knees. But Igata forced her back as he pulled her hair.
“Cheap bitch,” he said, “Just say it or we won’t go easy on you.”
Taki yelled back, “NO!!”
Igata smirked and gestured for something to one soldier. The man went outside the building and returned with a bucket of cold water, which he then splashed to her face and chest. The sudden coldness made her nipples erect. Igata smirked at the sight. It was an unexpected bonus. He seized her nipples and pulled them hard.
“Listen woman,” he hissed, “I’m gonna ask you again and you’ll answer. If you keep quiet, I’m gonna do whatever I want with you until you spill it out. Now, who sent you?”
Still no answer. Igata pinched and twisted Taki’s nipples, making her squirm.
“Answer me!”
“Get your hands off me bastard! Aaaah!!” Taki’s answer, which of course did not satisfy Igata, and resulted in more torture to her nipples. The other soldiers were getting horny watching the kunoichi’s body being abused by Igata and listening to her screams and moans. After several minutes of tormenting the false courtesan’s teats, Igata stopped and slapped her face two times.
“Who sent you? ANSWER ME!!”
“Uhh…” Taki whimpers, dazed by Igata’s assault.
“Do you want me to continue?” Igata asked.
“N…no…”
“THEN ANSWER ME! Who sent you to assassinate officer Tanegashima?”
Again, Taki ignores him and said nothing, just staring blankly into her interrogator’s eyes. Igata was losing his patience. The woman was really obstinate, but that would not stop him. He had extracted information from several tough male prisoners before, and he wondered if he should use more brutal ways. However, the case was different with this woman. He knew that it was important to keep her alive; otherwise the interrogation would be useless. Would she survive more violence?
Igata came up with another idea. He walked to her back and pulled down his pants. As he grabbed her ass cheeks and parted them, Taki knew what he’s going to do, and she started to thrash about. Trying to cause as much pain as possible, Igata opened her asshole forcefully and rammed his member into her. Taki screamed as Igata’s short but thick cock forced its way into her unwilling asshole. She usually didn’t mind being fucked in the ass but he wasn’t doing it gently, not without getting her ready first. Of course that was not Igata’s intention. Taki’s body tensed as Igata slammed deep into her ass. She jolted and cried in protest, her body moving about trying to escape but her bondage keep her from doing so.
“Ohh! Oww! Noo!!” she yowled.
“You like it, slut?”
“N…no more! No more!”
Igata ignores her and continued pounding into her ass. His strokes were short and rapid, due to his compact-sized cock. Taki panted furiously, her ass painful and her stomach twitching.
Tanegashima was dumbfounded seeing Igata fuck Taki’s ass. Was it really necessary in order to make her speak, or was the former prison guard just taking advantage of her? But he was clearly feeling weak, and he didn’t feel like stopping him. After all, Taki’s attack had caused him great pain, and all the admiration and respect he had for the courtesan had vanished. This woman, Mayumi, caught him off-guard and almost made him pay with his life--if he had not been warned by Miyamasa. The old advisor was right.
Where is Miyamasa? Tanegashima thought. He had sent Shoi to get him, but Shoi had not returned.
“Hey, Igata, can we have a go at ‘er? You don’t mean to keep the slut for yourself, aren’t you?”
The other soldiers saw Igata fuck the prisoner and thought that they too deserve their share. “Let us play with her too, will you?”
Igata grinned, and then said that they could join. One of them approached Taki and started to tease her cunt. He cut away the rope that had been tied around her crotch, noticing that it has been slightly soaked with her juice, and drove the head of his cock into her cunt. While doing so, his fingers sought her clit and pinched it, almost causing her to jump.
“Hey look at me, I’m fucking a First Class whore!” he exclaimed to his friends. Igata adds, “What’s the difference? A whore is still a whore; this one’s just more expensive.”
“Wait till you try her down here, Igata, then you’ll know the difference from a cheap whore’s loose and dirty cunt,” he spoke as he began to fuck her hard. The other soldiers came to surround her, and two start playing with her tits, causing her to jolt and squirm as they wrench her nipples. Another walked up to her face and pushed his cock into her mouth. As he began to pump, she grunted and choked, struggling for air.
Igata could not hold his load for long. He quickly lose his load inside Taki’s hot anal passage, but as soon as he pulled out another man got in her ass, his meat bigger and longer than Igata’s. On the other end of her body, the penis in her mouth also exploded, filling her mouth with sperm. Another soldier, who were just wanking his cock because all her holes are filled, discharged all over her face. She shut her eyes as his load surged all over them. She was forced to suck on another cock as the first one pulled out, unable to do nothing except letting him rape her mouth. Her cunt throbbed and tightened around the hammering cock inside it. Soon after, it was filled with hot semen.
The gang rape continued until all the soldiers there, ten of them, had their cock enter at least one of her holes. After the last one pulled out from her cunt, Taki was a mess, her body covered with perspiration, her face coated by sperm, her asshole and cunt leaking cum. Igata asked her again.
“Now, who sent you?”
Taki was tired and she still didn’t want to answer. Secretly, she’d decide that if these men were able to make her cum, which Tanegashima couldn’t do in the two occasions he had with her, then she’ll talk. But even after they do her, she still hadn’t reached climax. Possibly it was because all of them were doing it so hastily.
So let’s see, can you do more than that? she thought.
