A New Beginning Ch. 05

Kiryu woke up with a start as he felt something touching him. Obviously startled by this, he looked over to see his sleeping slave doing her best to move towards the warmth of his chest. Recalling the events of the night before, he felt a pang of guilt in his chest. He wrapped her in his arms, and the girl relaxed and absorbed his heat, as she would've had to be freezing. Kiryu hadn't used the comforter last night, and hadn't thought of it, leaving the poor girl to have most likely shivered through the night, so he pulled it over the both of them as she slept.

What was he going to do? He really needed to start new training if he was going to help her, but he had no clue how. He had only wanted a slave to cook and clean for him because he was too busy to do it for himself with such a ridiculously big house for one person, but this slave had caused him more trouble than helped him, yet he could not even fathom giving her away..

He tried to think, but he was pulled away from those thoughts when the girl stirred next to him. She seemed just as disoriented as he had been when her eyes first opened, but when she saw her Master, she stilled.

"Please forgive me Master... did I wake you..?" She asked fearfully.

"No, no." He lied, sitting up and rubbing his face.

Ana laid quietly, afraid of doing the wrong thing by moving without his permission.

"We should get up." He said as he stretched his arms.

Ana nodded and sat up herself, but the silence that followed was confusing to her. Was he waiting on her to do something? If so, what was she supposed to be doing... Those thoughts tormented her until she glanced up at his face, then felt she had a pretty good idea.

She removed the thick comforter from herself, then draped herself over her Master's lap sadly, but bit down on her lip to refrain from crying.

"I'm sorry I'm a bad girl... You should just send me back Master.." She whispered painfully.

"Why would I do that?" He asked her, rubbing her back gently.

"To trade me for a slut who isn't as stupid as me.. Master deserves a good girl.." Her voice shook, but she was glad she hadn't cried saying it.

"You are not stupid, Ana." He lifted her up gently and pulled her into his lap, where Ana moaned softly. Kiryu was taken aback, and Ana panicked.

"I'm so sorry! Please forgive me Master, it was an accident! I swear, Sir! Oh please believe me!" She begged, pulling away and clasping her hands together.

Kiryu cursed himself as she had once again turned him on, and he had to resituate himself to attempt to get comfortable again.

"Ana, I'm not angry. Please calm down.." He exhaled, trying to compose himself.

Ana whimpered and rubbed her thighs together before crawling back toward him fearfully.

"I'm a worthless stupid cunt... I don't feel pleasure, I only please Master..." She cried a little as she approached him.

"Whoa whoa whoa.." Kiryu lifted her chin. "You don't talk like that young lady." He scolded lightly. "Have I ever called you worthless or stupid?"

She shook her head silently.

"Then you don't say it either. You don't talk about my property that way." He looked so stern, it made a lump in Ana's throat as she nodded.

"Good... now take a minute to calm down, and tell me what happened." He said much more kindly now.

"I... Oh please don't make me Master.." She looked up sadly.

"Just tell me what happened. There's no reason to be upset or embarrassed." He promised.

She looked down and swallowed hard.

"I didn't do it on purpose.. It just felt warm in Master's arms.. and.. and..."

"And?" Kiryu pressed.

"I.. I brushed against Master... and it felt good..." She buried her face in embarrassment, and Kiryu honestly couldn't blame her. "I'm sorry for feeling it. I won't do it again, and Master can whip my pussy if he thinks it will help me not to forget..." She whimpered into his lap.

"That won't be necessary. I believe you, and I know you didn't do anything wrong on purpose." He said, trying to seem firm, but inside he wanted to scoop her up and make sure no one could ever hurt her again, but he decided that what she needed was someone to be firm and strict with her, but slowly show her that she wasn't worthless, and help her see her value.

"Thank you Master..." She cried, sitting up and wiping her eyes. "It hurts so bad.. thank you for not punishing me..."

In a matter of mere days she had melted his heart, and made him want her in ways he had never wanted another human being, but care for her well being, and morality gave him no choice but to ignore his carnal desire and try to help her instead.

"Why don't you start a shower for me, and then we'll both get cleaned up and start the day."

The girl nodded and slid off the bed, still wearing the clothes from last night, except that her dress had slipped upward, and her ass was nearly fully exposed besides her fishnet tights, but she never noticed, besides, if it were a problem, she knew her Master would tell her to fix it.

She disappeared into the bathroom, and Kiryu got up and made the bed, even though it was really Ana's job. He sighed, removed his shirt and went into the bathroom tiredly, but stopped when he saw Ana kneeling next to the shower door.

"I didn't know if you would want me, Master. Please forgive me if I was supposed to be ready for you, but I assumed you wouldn't want me to bathe you after how I behaved already this morning." She said quietly. It was definitely some improvement. At least she wasn't half naked again except for her dress exposing her underwear, which Kiryu was able to mostly ignore this time.

"No, I can shower by myself, thank you." He said, and Ana nodded sadly.

"Go take a long shower, and make yourself presentable for me, then come downstairs and kneel in the main room until I give you your next instructions." He attempted to pet her hair to assure her he wasn't upset with her, and she leaned into his gentle touch, but as soon as he sent her away, she was dejected again at his dismissal.

If it hadn't been for her exclusive training for years, she could understand, but years of brainwashing stole away her ability to understand her Master's inhibitions, and she felt unwanted and unpleasing.

She went to her room and turned on a cold shower to punish herself for her failures, then stripped down and lay on the bathroom floor, curled up on the rug. At first she had been so happy to come here, but it seemed that no matter what she did it was wrong. It wasn't like she wanted to be raped and beaten at the hands of another man, but the toll taken on her mind would be nothing in comparison to the stress and self loathing she felt with Master Kiryu.. With another man, she could go through the motions like she had been taught, and she could be a good girl, but here, there was no script to follow, everything was new to her.

She knew better than to waste so much water, so she guiltily got up and stepped into the icy spray, her penance being felt to her very core. She wanted to take a fast shower and get it over with, but her Master's words repeated in her head.

"Go take a long shower and make yourself presentable for me.."

She knew he hadn't meant a long cold shower.. he wanted her to feel better. She knew it.. but she couldn't feel better until she felt like she had been reprimanded.

Still shivering under the water, Ana knelt on the floor of the shower and cried. "Help me be a good slave.. to know how to please Master when I feel like I can't.. I don't want to mess everything up, but I know I will if I don't learn something fast.." She prayed, wishing for the cleansing of the whip, for her Master to just tie her up and punish her for her shortcomings, and then she would be okay again..

She stood and turned the water to be warm again, but still kept it cooler than her ideal temperature, just to help herself not feel as bad about using Master's hot water, but other than that, she did her very best to make herself perfect for him. She washed her hair and conditioned it, then washed her body thoroughly, and shaved any and every stray hair on her body before getting out and wrapping herself in a towel. The warmth from the thick towel comforted her, and she felt a lot better once she had brushed her teeth and washed her face.

She found another dress she knew that Kiryu liked, so she put it on and combed her hair, then looked in the mirror and smiled faintly. She felt kind of pretty, even though nothing was different about her. A little bit of makeup helped too, and she wore a little more than usual in hopes that it would please Kiryu, and she wore lipstick which was a very rare occurrence if she had a choice. Lastly she grabbed the heels from last night, and went downstairs to the main room.

It was empty, so she knelt near the chair where Kiryu usually sat and waited patiently for him. It was only a few minutes before he came downstairs and found her waiting just like he'd asked, and he smiled to see that she had made herself up. Not that she needed it, but because she spent time to feel pretty, and that was what he'd asked of her.

"Sorry I took so long. I didn't mean to keep you waiting." He apologized as she peeked up from under her long lashes.

"It was perfectly fine." She replied, playing with the hem of her dress.

Kiryu stood in front of his chair and Ana waited patiently for him to give her next instructions.

For a moment there was nothing but silence, until Kiryu's voice changed completely, breaking it.

"Stand." The command was clear, and relief washed over Ana as she obeyed, standing up straight, eyes still downcast.

"Good girl." His voice remained low and authoritative, but it was still praise. He pet her gently and she closed her eyes in comfort.

He cupped her chin, then pulled away to look at his slave. He smiled at the dress she chose, and her hair was lovely and shiny, and of course her makeup looked very nice. It wasn't too heavy at all, though it was visible, and Kiryu smiled.

"You did very well, slave." He complimented,

"Thank you Master.." She kept her eyes closed, savoring a moment when she somewhat understood what was expected of her.

"Did you enjoy your shower?" He asked gently, lifting her chin and wordlessly telling her to look up at him. She obeyed and swallowed, but nodded.

"Yes Sir, thank you very much." She wouldn't mention the first cold half, knowing it would disappoint him.

"Good girl.. Because you did what I told you so well, and as an apology for last night, I am going to take you out to breakfast so you don't have to worry about that this morning." He said, searching her eyes for any sign of resistance.

Ana remained still like stone except to nod her head, so Kiryu had no idea what her actual opinion was as he walked to the door. Ana followed silently, and Kiryu stopped at the coat closet. He removed his jacket from its hanger, then grabbed the leash as well and turned to Ana.

"Come here girl." He coaxed gently. Ana didn't protest or do anything to change his mind, but he still felt a slight pang of guilt about leashing her. "Can you be a good girl and stay by me? You can't try to run off, or else I'll be very upset. I will catch you, and you will be punished. I know you still feel the belt biting into your ass, but I can promise it is nothing in comparison to what I'll do if you lie to me and try to make a run for it. Understand?"

She nodded quickly, jumping at the chance to escape the humiliation of the leash. Kiryu placed it back in the closet and Ana smiled genuinely for the first time that day, and Kiryu had to smile too.

"Good. Good." He smiled and held her by the makeshift chain collar around her neck. "Now lets get something to eat."

~*~

After a somewhat long and quiet drive into the city, Kiryu pulled into the parking lot of a small Diner, and Ana waited patiently for him to come to the backseat and open the door for her so that he wouldn't think she was trying to run. He opened the door for her and let her out then took her by the collar, but even though the girl never complained, he reluctantly released his hold on her.

"You walk with me and stay close." He reminded her, and she nodded obediently.

Without any further talk, they walked up to the door and Ana reached for the handle so that her Master wouldn't have to touch it, then opened the door for him.

Kiryu smiled at her as she entered behind him, then turned to the hostess.

"It will be just the two of us." He said, and the girl nodded, grabbing two menus. She checked the seating chart in front of her and marked a table off, but when she looked up she noticed the chain on Ana's neck and blushed. She placed one menu back in the stack, then turned to Kiryu.

"Please follow me."

She led them through the fairly crowded place to a small table near the back wall, then cleared her throat.

"Gina will be with you in just a moment. Please enjoy." and with that, she walked away.

Kiryu sat down and turned to Ana as she stared at the floor, but she looked up quickly when he snapped his fingers.

"Sit down." He told her, but she hesitated.

"I'm not arguing.. but I need to clarify.. Do you mean to sit in the chair, or on the floor, Master.."

"In the chair." He gestured to the seat across from him. "The floor is dirty, and you've been a good girl. You don't have to kneel out here in public."

"Yes Sir." Ana sat down and looked at the table so she wouldn't say anything else that wasn't necessary, and Kiryu opened the menu and began looking.

Another girl walked over to the table and smiled at Kiryu, then opened up her notebook.

"Good morning sir, what can I get for you to drink?" She asked pleasantly.

"I want a cup of coffee, and an ice water." He answered without really looking up.

Gina glanced over at Ana, but the sight of the chain sent a message to leave her alone, one that she acknowledged, looking back to Kiryu.

"Alright, let me go get those for you and I'll be right back." She said, then walked away again.

Ana remained silent, so Kiryu looked over at her and set his menu down.

"Are you hungry, slave?" He asked her.

Ana shook her head hesitantly.

"I don't need anything..."

"Are you hungry?" He asked again, interrupting her.

"Yes Sir.." She whispered.

"Then what do you want? You may have oatmeal, or biscuits, or just bacon and eggs, or you may make a request to have something else if you choose." He said, looking back at the menu.

"I really don't mind, Master... whatever is the cheapest.." She seemed nervous at the thought of him paying money just for her food, and she wanted no part in choosing for herself.

"Very well then, you may have oatmeal and toast." Kiryu said, uninterested in arguing with her at the moment, so he set the menu down as Gina returned.

"Alright, here you go sir. Now what can I get for you to eat?" She asked him, setting the two cups down.

"I want the steak and eggs, but add bacon as well, and a small bowl of plain oatmeal with toast." He said easily, handing her the menu. She scribbled something down, then took it from him and stepped back.

"I'll get those put in for you." She said pleasantly, then walked away.

Kiryu turned to Ana and cleared his throat, causing her to look up at him.

"After we finish eating, I'm taking you home and then we are going to have a little talk." He explained, taking a drink of his coffee, and placing the glass of water in front of Ana. "Drink." He prompted, and she complied gratefully, taking small, polite sips, but often which Kiryu knew was good for her, and he was glad that she was hydrating because he wanted her to be energized for later.

The pair sat mostly in comfortable silence until the food arrived, but the silence then was much more reasonable as Ana eyed her bowl, waiting for her Master to start his food.

Kiryu waited to pick up his fork and start eating, not to be cruel, but to see if the girl really was waiting for him to begin, and when he realized that she was, he was truly impressed with her behavior. He let his fork down on the white of one of his eggs and took a bite, at which Ana tried to politely start her meal as well without seeming too eager.

As hungry as she really was, she managed to eat like a lady, and she behaved as such for the rest of the meal as best as she could, savoring the toast, as bread was a rare treat amongst most slaves because of the 'unnecessary' carbohydrates.

Ana finished her food and waited patiently for Kiryu to finish his, and she found herself fiddling with her dishes, stacking them so as to make it easier for the waitress once she came back, and to help with her own guilt for being somewhat served in a restaurant.

"You ate very well Ana." Kiryu praised lightly, placing his silverware in the middle of his empty plate, beside his napkin.

"Thank you very much for my meal, Master. I promise to be very good today and prove that your money wasn't all wasted on me. I promise to work hard." The girl nodded her head as if to reinforce her words, and Kiryu shook his head as he stood and laid two folded bills on the table.

"I certainly expect you to be vigilant in your efforts today slave girl, however I would be careful in future about what kind of promises you make, because you'll find that Master doesn't appreciate lies, sweetheart." His gaze hardened momentarily, but went back to normal as he led the girl out the door and into the car again.

The drive, although still quiet, seemed much shorter this time to Ana, and her heart began to race as she entered the main room and knelt again in front of her Master's chair.

Kiryu followed behind her, and sat down, finally looking down at his beautiful slave who knelt in silence.

"Pretty girl." He reached down and pet her gently, and she leaned into his hand a little too easily. She was getting a little bit too comfortable with him and they both knew it, but neither wanted to do anything about it.

The girl kissed his fingers softly, and Kiryu was tempted heavily to do something he knew he'd regret, but he managed to pull away, much to Ana's disappointment.

"You did well, and I am pleased with your effort to look nice for me today. Good girl."

Ana nodded, but what she really wanted was for him to have kept petting her and letting her touch him instead of breaking their contact for a conversation she somewhat feared. What if she was about to get in trouble... what if he changed his mind and wanted someone else..

"Now, we need to talk." He began, sitting up straight and becoming visibly more cold. "After how things went last night and this morning.. I think we need to address some things."

"Yes Sir.." Ana looked down. He was upset with her for the way she had behaved.. exactly like a whore..

"I did not purchase you for sex. I don't know if you know this or not, but I have no need of a used slut to fulfill my pleasures. There are plenty of real women out there who I can establish a relationship with, and I have no interest of forcing you into something that is so serious."

"But I'm not-"

"I don't want to hear it right now, and I believe I was talking if I'm not mistaken." He interrupted her irritably.

Her mouth closed, and her head hung in shame that she had done it again. Why couldn't she just keep her mouth shut..?

Kiryu let her sit in silence for a moment before he continued.

"Your duties consist of what I put on your list. Cooking, cleaning, and whatever else I tell you to do, but nothing more. I understand what your training might have included, but I am telling you no." He said firmly. "I suggest you go start your chores, and not speak to me again until dinner if I even give you the privilege of opening that mouth of yours again." He lowered his voice threateningly.

Ana nodded sadly, having not meant to disappoint him so.. She obediently left the room and began cleaning, and Kiryu went upstairs to his office and didn't come back out until dinner time.
