I awoke in the same room. Still tied to a chair, and still looking at Taihou.
Y/N: Taihou...
Taihou: Rise and shine commander~ I've been waiting for about 4 hours now you know~
Y/N: Please... stop this.
Taihou: I'm afraid I can't do that commander I've waited far too long for an opportunity such as this to arise. And now, I'll take full advantage of it~
Y/N: ... ... ...
Taihou: Still not wanting to cooperate huh? That's fine like I said we have all the time in the world. Even if those royal pains in my ass do go looking for you, they'll never find this place.
Y/N: Where even are we? How far did you take me from base?
Taihou: Oh we're still at Azur Lane HQ. You see, we're in a sub level of the plaza that was originally supposed to be used for storage but the idea was scrapped now all that remains is this room.
Y/N: That's absurd I've never known about this room. In fact I've never seen it on any blueprints or layouts.
Taihou: That's because it was never on any blueprints. At least not on any that were officially documented and filed away.
Y/N: So how did you come about this place then? You said it wasn't documented.
Taihou: it was purely by chance. As I said before we're currently below the plaza. The only way to get down here is through a ladder that goes up to a trapdoor. That trapdoor is being covered by a stone slab that we use for the road in the plaza. I was taking one of my evening strolls after sneaking out of your quarters when I tripped over said slab. After that the pieces just fell into place.
Y/N: I see
Taihou: Anyways, enough about that. Let's get to the good stuff shall we~
She went to kiss me but I turned my head in response
Taihou: (sigh) How many times are we going to have to do this? I believe a little punishment should encourage you to understand who you belong to.
She walked out of vision behind me, and came back with a long needle-like tool. Though it looked more like a glorified toothpick.
Taihou: you ever wanted a tattoo commander?
Y/N: I'm no expert on tattoos but I don't believe that's what they use.
Taihou: Oh, I know. This is going to be a special kind of tattoo. One you can't remove~
That last part sounded especially sinister. And with that I started catching on to what she was gonna do.
Taihou: So what should I write? Maybe something simple like property of Taihou or maybe something daring like Taihou's owner.
Y/N: I don't get it, why would you want to hurt me when you were going on a whole spiel about your feelings for me.
Taihou: You just don't get it. I already told you that you needed to be punished for being a bad boy~ And besides once the bleeding stops and it scars, it'll be a symbol of our everlasting love.
I was in shock by how crazy she was. Well I knew she was crazy, but to go this far...
She began to inch the tip of the needle to my chest. Once it reached my chest she pressed down hard enough to just barely pierce the skin. She began dragging the needle to make a heart shape on my torso. I was feeling an unbearable amount of pain as she wasn't just dragging it, but doing so slowly as if she meant to hurt me as much as possible.
Y/N: Gah!! TAIHOU PLEASE!! STOP! IT HURTS DAMMIT!!
Taihou: It'll all be over soon commander~ Please just bear with it a little while longer-
Before she could go any further the trapdoor bursted open revealing an extremely pissed off Sheffield.
Sheffield: Get your hands off my master you big chested bitch.
—To be continued—
How did Sheffield know we were here? Find out in the next chapter. Don't worry the whole chapter wont be a flashback.
