The Broken Ninja

Chapter Three

Chapter 3

To Kanami's misfortune, Lia herself had come to see Kanami. Apparently, Lia had learned what had happened to Kanami, at least what happened in town, Kanami was unsure if Lia had known what happened with the masseuse. The story was so embarrassing, as Lia was repeating what she had heard from citizens and the maids Kanami couldn't help but feel ashamed about it all. The one person she wanted to protect had heard that she ran through the town naked, and...

"Do you like being seen naked? You're such a naughty girl, perhaps I should punish you. After all, we can't have the people think we're perverts, that would be bad for our image hehe~" Lia began to tease Kanami. Kanami didn't know what to do, she wasn't foolish enough to call Lia ignorant, but if she didn't correct Lia then her life would be over. The princess herself would think Kanami is just a perverted ninja who needs to embarrass herself to get off and get attention.

"Y-you misunderstand! S-someone stole my c-clothes and I had to come back... n-naked..." Just saying that sentence out loud was enough to make Kanami want to hide beneath her sheets and never emerge again.

"So you took off your clothes for someone and they stole your clothes? That still shows ignorance and we still need to find a punishment for you~"

Kanami didn't know what to say, no matter what she said Lia wouldn't believe her, it all sounded like an excuse, there was no way she could go free. Kanami began to wonder if Lia had set her up, after all, she was paying for everything, she certainly knew where Kanami would go at all times, a simple excuse if Kanami found out would be that she was making sure Kanami didn't spend castle funds on things that would make them look bad, it wouldn't be difficult to set Kanami up. Accusing the princess of something like this would only get her in a worse position, however, and she desperately wanted to believe that Lia hadn't done it, she trusted Lia.

"D-don't be too harsh with your punishment... I promise I didn't intend for you to look bad..."

"Oh don't worry, even if I call it a punishment I am sure you'll enjoy it after what I've learned about you today~" At this comment, Kanami was both confused and scared. Lia was rich and powerful enough to make pretty much anything happen. Kanami wondered if it would be something she truly enjoyed, or if it was just more of Lia's teasing, either way, she was already dreading what might happen just thinking about it.

"W-what do you mean. What do you have in m-mind?"

"Oh, you'll see~ I'll need to set it up first. I'll be back in an hour, in the meantime you should probably shower, you're sweaty after running all the way here hehe."

With that Lia left Kanami's room. Kanami was extremely skeptical of the final message and then remembered how her clothes had been taken from her twice. If it was Lia's doing then why would she hesitate taking them a third time? However, it was true Lia wanted to bathe after running all the way there. She came up with an idea.

Kanami walked to the bathroom, even though there was a group bath, Kanami had already been around too many people that day, she wanted to be alone. She carried a spare change of clothes in her arms despite having just gotten into new clothes, as well as a towel. She reached the baths after a little bit of walking, it was a much calmer walk than either time before, which she was grateful for. When reaching the bath she opened the door, walked in, and closed it behind her, making sure it was closed tightly and locked. She sighed, grateful she was able to bathe with no one seeing her. She set her change of clothes next to the bath so she could keep an eye on them before walking over to the side of the room she could put her dirty clothes in. She began stripping, sliding her top above her head, leaving her in only a bra and her leggings. She reached behind her back and undid the bra, letting it fall to the ground. Her breasts were exposed to the warm, humid air in the room. She then bent over and pulled down her leggings, her panties following shortly afterward. She was completely naked, in nothing but her birth suit, however, it was different this time than the previous two times she had been that day, she was finally alone! She could actually enjoy it and not feel ashamed about anything. She would be able to enjoy a bath without anyone seeing her! She never thought she would be so happy at that fact before, but it didn't matter because she was happy now. She giddily got into the bath.
