Light Upon the Darkness (A Your Lie in April Fanfiction)

Chapter 10: Same as Always

Tsubaki Sawabe's POV

A new day as always, with bright, harsh light went through the small window of our cell.

The only positive thing from being drugged to sleep yestersay was that my sore muscles were granted an opportunity to rest. Apparently, along with sleeping drug, they had administered us with anti inflammatories, most probably on the drink they had given us yesterday.

The second thing Kashiwagi and I noticed that our restraints was only by a chain attaching collar to our bed. Each with one.

"About time girls" Michiko announced. "Rise and shine. We have a clean up to do."

No one of us could comprehend what it means.

"But before that" We looked at the source and found Keizo-san. "Don't fucking move." He went to Kashiwagi before removing her chains, followed by Michiko.

"You'll take a shower together. People don't want you with a stinking wreck," he explained roughly. Even with our long rest moving was a chore for us. But again, we better be grateful for their allowance for us to clean up. Once, cold water was something taken for granted. But not anymore. Much more a drink.

Shepherded to one of the bedrooms, which recoiled me as the particular room they sent us was where I was given away and used yesterday to the point that few shivers wracked me and I was about to cry.

From the wardrobe Keizo-san called us for what he brought for us.

Two set of lingeries. Michiko wanted me to wear the white one, while Kashiwagi was to wear the blue one on Keizo's left hand.

Looking at my hesitancy, Michiko approached me closer. Instead of by force, he gave me what could be passed as "assuring" hug, which helped me to accept the only way.

And in front of the mirror, both of us put our assigned clothes on before heading for the kitchen.

Not long they dragged us to the kitchen.

"Make us breakfast, please."

More like a plea rather than a commanding boss, even with our ungagged mouths we know better than to speak as their eyes were trained on us every single minute. Plus, they got us collared and also in Michiko's case, his waist had a certain wicked looking stick.

Serving food with scantily looking robes for them and cleaning the house afterwards was at least marginally better than being raped all day long.

Oh, nothing we can do to even think about escape, or what it seems on our captor's eyes.

Glancing for few minutes when they are distracted was how we tried. With our mouths gagged after breakfast, they thought they had really muzzled our desire.

All in all they managed to make sure we did our part; scrubbing the floor, cleaning the windows, even cleaning the kitchen and garage to the point that they left us without holding the chain.

Some business. Whatever that was.

Occassionally as the sun went higher, they were stopping in occasionally to make sure there was progress from Kashiwagi and I, sometimes make the whole thing be done over again, and otherwise ogle us - their "lovers"

Of course the natural reaction started to kick in, just as Michiko returned and in front of me, he set a metal bowl filled with some type of swill on the floor....

"You've done well today. Lunch time. Eat up."

Knowing it was futile to resist, I obediently crawled to the bowl, then started to pick it up.
