Toofy Ch. 06

The neko sniffled weakly, "O-okay. Toofy gets it."

"Oh, for..." The succubus growled, and the black tail whipped around over the bath, "Here."

The neko shook her head, "Not hurt the Elia. Toofy is just... She doesn't want to remember things. Not right now. He... He's going to hurt her. Just like the bastard elf. No one to save her."

Sai's jaw tightened.

Elia ran a hand through the catgirl's hair, "Sshh. I can't make things better. No one can. The best you can do is enjoy this whilst you can."

"Toofy hates baths."

Sai felt his knuckles crack. His mistress sounded broken. Damaged, maybe beyond repair, by what had been done to her. And now... Now the emperor was forcing the same thing on her again.

If she resisted, or tried to guide him, the man probably would paralyse her. Not to death, like Elatham had tried, but the reminder might be enough to finish shattering her mind.

If he did anything... What would be done in retaliation would be far worse.

"Does the Elia know about nekos?" Toofy asked hopefully. "She didn't seem to know about her own race."

The dark-skinned woman sighed heavily, "I'm still a temple girl. I might not be able to make someone cum at the drop of a coin, like you, but I know enough. Do you want me to distract you? You might have to take another bath."

"Nekos are different." Toofy half-whispered, "We do... Play, with whoever we want. Whenever we want. Which is most of the time. But... But... We choose our masters. No one can choose for us."

Elia brushed the hair away from the catgirl's face, "You chose Lord Sai. So this... Feels like a betrayal?"

"Toofy isn't choosing to play. Doesn't want to play." The cat cried, "She just wants her Sai back. She doesn't want to fuck the stupid human. He hates her. Wants to hurt her. She could smell it."

The succubus sighed, "You know that referring to him as stupid is enough reason for him to execute you, right? Someone's spying on us. Probably one his lackeys."

Sai breathed in sharply.

He hadn't expected his scrying to be so easily noticed. All the same, he had no reason to cut it off, yet. Even if the woman was misled about who was doing the spying.

"His magic." Toofy said quietly, voice shaking, "All green and angry. Smelling of blood and war. That's my Sai. Worried about his Toofy. Wanna kill anyone who hurts her. She loves her master. Belongs to him."

She'd... Noticed it?

He wanted to promise her that everything was going to be okay. Wanted to reach out to her, and nobody else. To protect her from everything that was about to come her way.

The succubus laughed, "Your master is spying on you in the bath?"

"Of course!" The cat said loudly, "He misses fucking Toofy as much as she misses him. But emperor would be so mad if she turned up with his seed in her, and Toofy wouldn't want it anywhere else."

Elia shook her head, "And they say succubi are horny. Do you ever think about anything other than sex, cat?"

"Always. But nobody is ever willing to talk about sex. Which makes it easy for Toofy to make them say things they don't want to." She grinned, before jerking out a hand to snag the black tail out of the air with a splash of water.

"Oh, gods." Elia muttered, "You're incorrigible."

The cat grinned slowly, "Can... Can Elia help Toofy? She wants to give Sai a show."

"Fine. You can suck my tail." The red-eyed creature glowered.

"Uh uh." The cat shook her head. "She was thinking..."

Elia grabbed her tail and pulled back, "No! You can't just suddenly decide to fuck my bloody tail! I don't care if you're my mistress. That's too much. I am not some vegetable you can shove inside."

"Little Saia would like it." The cat mewled, "She really, really would. You think her mouth is fun on the tip of your tail. Little Saia doesn't know what fun is."

"I am not tail-fucking you." The succubus crossed her arms. "That is gross and you could not pay me for it. No groups, no tail-fucking. I am not a total slut."

Toofy stuck out her tongue at the slave, "Too bad. Elia would have liked it. Sai would have liked to watch. Toofy will just have to put on a show by herself."

With that, the cat sat up onto the edge of the bath. She gave a small shiver, and then slowly spread her legs. He gave a small gasp as she looked directly at him, with those glowing golden eyes of hers.

Sai didn't understand how she could see his spell. She was just a lowly temple slave. So little about his little neko made sense. She would never stop intriguing him.

Right at this moment, however, she was showing him something else.

She gave a soft little moan as her fingers rubbed gently on the outside of her mound. Her other hand reaching up to squeeze one of her breasts. Her eyes, however, were locked on his, as if she could see what he was feeling.

"How are you wet?" Elia leaned in curiously, "You were just in the water."

The cat shoved the succubus to the side, "Shh. Master is watching. Toofy can teach you how to fuck, later. Mmm. Do you see it, master? Her wet little cunt, just for you?"

The hand on her chest moved down to spread out her sex, make it easier for him to see her pink moistness. She rubbed herself gently, the lewd liquid beginning to drip from her and towards the bath.

She moaned gently into the air, a soft and purring sound. Gentle on the ears, and describing the passion that joined her to another.

This was Twenty Four's love tale, just for him.

Sai didn't know whether he should be getting excited, and starting to rub himself, or to be so moved as to find himself in tears.

He hadn't known exactly what his mistress had felt. Their relationship had been one of claims. Both of them, owning the other, in some way or another.

With bright and golden eyes, with crying and breathless moans, she was telling him that though her flesh might become despoiled by the ruthless figures of this land... Her heart belonged to him.

"Fuck." The succubus swore at the scene in front of her.

Toofy's hand movements became more intense, more than one finger finding its way inside her twat. The deftness of his cat was undeniable, as she so quickly brought herself to the edge.

Crying out, her head going back.

Her stomach muscles rippling and heaving as the orgasm rushed through her in waves. Her tail stood bolt upright, and her knees shuddered.

Droplets fell from her snatch into the water below.

Sai watched her, mouth dry.

His beautiful neko.

---

Toofy felt the light fade from her eyes, and she leaned forward, chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath. Shaken by the intensity of her orgasm, the incredible feeling of having her master watching her.

An ear flicked, and she smiled as she looked over to see Little Saia sucking on her own tail. The succubus glared back at her, and muttered, "Shuddup. It was sexy."

"Toofy thinks that Elia would like it more if she played with one of her horns, too." The cat said, stepping out of her bath, and picking up a towel.

She rubbed her face into it for a moment, before she began to try and dry her fine fur and skin. Enjoying the background sound of the succugirl making herself cum.

She tossed aside the wet and hair-covered towel, and picked up the robes that the emperor had arranged for her. His design for her clothing, his foreplay.

They were elegant, after a fashion. Long and flowing. Silk that slipped easily around her shoulders, tied neatly at the waist. Simple to don, simpler to remove.

She didn't like the colours.

They were were grey and bland, making her look like a grimalkin, instead of a young and virile neko. Clashing against her black hair, her white fur and skin. Turning her into some forlorn shadow.

She grinned over where Elia was letting out one more loud moan, "Fu-uck!"

That one would always be fun to have around. She might claim that she had to recharge, but her sex drive was almost as strong as Toofy's. She couldn't wait to get the succugirl, Arina, and Sai all into the same bed with her.

That would be... Messy, and loud.

She skipped over happily, nuzzling the neck of the woman, and kissing at it gently. The succugirl pushed her away, "You just had a bath. You can't go ruining your smell with me."

"Don't find a guard to fuck, whilst Toofy is gone." She pouted, tail working its way out of the bottom of her robe, "You belong to her. Remember it."

Elia laughed at her, "Aw. You care whether I eat at home?"

"Toofy cares if you give emperor an excuse to kill her, or her master, or the Elia. He hates us. Hates things that aren't human." The cat growled angrily, and turned away, "Hates succubi a lot. A lot, a lot. This place isn't safe, Little Saia. They despise us, here. Toofy... Doesn't know if she will be coming back."

The woman's tail flicked with annoyance, "I was trained by Lord Yu. No one is about to sneak up on me, mistress."

"You cannot fight them. Is crime." The catgirl said in irritation, "Have to run. Have to hide. Have to be... Unseen."

Elia shivered, becoming a mirror image of Toofy. She spoke with her voice, sarcastically. "Always have to hide. To be afraid of the ones who might kill her."

"Take that look off my face!" Toofy snarled angrily, "Or I will beat you to death, myself!"

The succubus shivered, her red eyes staring at the anger of the cat, "I... Didn't mean to hurt you that much, mistress. I was just... I'm an assassin. Politics and not getting killed, that's my job."

"If the Elia ever wears Toofy's face again, she will sew her cunt shut." The catgirl snarled at her, "To begin with. Toofy's image, is Toofy. You don't want to steal from Toofy. Don't want to become her enemy."

The woman raised her hands, tail dropping to the floor, "I didn't... I don't want you as my enemy, mistress. I'm yours. Always."

The cat growled at her, and then turned to the doors of the bathroom, shoving them open as she walked out into the main section of the house. To the servants there.

A dozen other women, dressed in similar grey robes of silk. Hair adorned with metalwork that looked like silver, delicately shaped into vines. Pink crystals embedded in it like blossoms.

One of them stepped forward, "Are you prepared, little one?"

"Madame Sai." She snarled, baring her teeth. "Not a whore, like you. Not in a good mood, either."

The woman laughed and flicked her bell. "A slave."

Toofy's golden eyes flashed and her magic surged over her, burning at her skin as it did. She vanished from their sight, just for a moment. In that moment of confusion, she punched the woman in the throat.

The whore dropped to the ground, gasping and clutching at her swelling and closing throat.

Toofy reappeared and shoved her aside, striding forward confidently. "I am Madame Sai, mistress of Lord Sai, and none of you are worthy of my respect or attention. I have been called before the emperor. To see him, as I see you."

"Enough!" A loud and male voice declared.

The women spun, and then fell to their knees, bowing. The catgirl looked at them derisively, and then up at the man approaching them. He wasn't going to make her mood any better.

He bowed slightly, "Madame Sai. I have come to escort you to our most beloved emperor. To protect you from the jealousy of his concubines, such as these."

"Toofy needs no protection. Certainly not by the hand of Lord Westcolm." She said as respectfully as she could.

The man smiled in amusement at her, "I can see that. A neat trick, disappearing. Is it true you can cast death, like Elatham?"

"Mention the bastard elf to Toofy, again, and she will cast it on you." She said honestly, "The spell... Requires hatred. One of the two must hate the other, know but the hate. The attendant hated Toofy. She hates the elf above all others. He stole from her, hurt her."

Westcolm raised his hands, "I meant no offence, Madame Sai. Come, this is the path, and the emperor is waiting for you."

She followed him, pausing only to look back at the concubines of the house and let out a threatening growl. Mostly because there was still a succubus in there, and she cared what happened to Elia.

"I was surprised to hear a slave accompanied you, Madame Sai." Westcolm made conversation, "I expected it to be your handmaiden."

"She had the Arina's image, when we came." She replied quietly, "Somebody sent her to kill Toofy. So... Toofy bought her from Lord Yu."

Westcolm laughed, "Well, well. That is a... Unique approach to dealing with an assassination attempt. I suppose we should expect that of you, Madame Sai. I must confess, I expect great things of you. You have a way of seeing things, that others do not."

"Toofy is still considering whether the Westcolm hired the succugirl. He would do it, just to try and fuck with her."

The man smiled at her, "Perhaps. Yet, perhaps it was my doing to bring you before the emperor. To see what would happen when the greatest in the land views the little cat."

"That was Lord Castelle." She rolled her eyes, "He assumed the emperor would have her put to death. Might still, once he has had her as his pound of flesh."

Westcolm sighed, "It is possible. I wish I could say it wasn't... There was a Lady Westcolm, once. Until she caught the eye of the emperor. He did not allow her the joy of childbirth."

"Yet, you serve."

"We all the serve the emperor, cat." The man said tiredly, resigned to his fate.

There was something there, useful to her, if she survived. Though, playing with Westcolm was not something she desired. He was too enamoured with her exotic nature.

Especially now that she had a succubus as a servant.

It would not surprise Toofy if the man headed back to try and play with her Little Saia the moment that he left her. Though, she wasn't sure why he was guiding her.

The path they were on led to the largest of the houses within the palace walls. Ostentatiously adorned with gold, silver, and bronze. Statues of the gods standing guard on the entrance.

"Here, I leave you. None but those invited may enter." Westcolm bowed to her, "May we meet again, Madame Sai."

She frowned, "A moment, Lord Westcolm. The emperor told Toofy something, that she does not fully understand. He said that you trained him in the ways of war, and that you also trained her Sai. How is this so?"

"Ah. Days, long gone." The man replied tiredly, "A lifetime ago. One I have left firmly behind me. To speak of it is a crime. The emperor may do as he wishes, but I cannot. Know only that it is of the days of the northern wars. The war with your people, for example."

Toofy winced, feeling the memories of her ancestors bubbling, out of focus and out of reach, but filled with rage. Her tail fell to the ground, and she nodded quietly, "She thanks you, Lord Westcolm. May she meet you in better days."

He bowed again to her, and moved away.

The catgirl turned her eyes back on the temple, and the hell that awaited her inside it. She swallowed nervously, and mounted the steps.

---

She curtsied, bowing her head, as the woman looked across her new estate. The lady turned her attention to the staff, and spoke firmly, "Which is the handmaiden who served Madame Sai? Step forward."

Arina took a half step forward, and curtsied again, "M'lady."

Lady Castelle looked at her haughtily, "You will now serve in my entourage. Transfer your belongings immediately, and report to my handmaiden by sundown."

She curtsied, and when the woman stopped paying attention to her, she made her way to the servant's sleeping quarters. She didn't have much to pack, but she was surprised.

She had expected that her mistress would become the property of Lady Castelle. It seemed that the lady was attempting to protect Arina, as well.

She gave a deep sigh, "Isaac."

He emerged from behind her, creeping hands going around her waist, and then up to hold her breasts. "I will miss these. You are soft, you little bitch. How did you earn a place with your new lady, so quickly?"

She felt terrified.

There was no one here to protect her, this time. He had done worse, when she'd first met him. Assumed that he could do anything, because he was the right hand of Lord Sai.

"Tell me, Isaac... Why is it that Lord Sai went to the temple, without you, when he purchased my mistress?" Arina's voice shook as she spoke, amazed she was poking the wasp's nest.

He pinched one of her nipples, "Bitch. How dare you?"

"Why, Isaac? Didn't he trust you to choose his bride?" She swallowed, "Until he met her, it was just so that people would leave him alone, wasn't it?"

The man shoved her onto her knees, drawing his belt. "I will teach you some manners, you whore!"

There was no one to save her.

---

The emperor was younger than Toofy expected. Clean-shaven, but as if he could not yet grow a beard. Only eighteen or nineteen years old. Younger than she was.

His hair was even longer than hers, and the smoothness of it made hers look downright scruffy. It smelled faintly of lilacs, roses, and other blossoms she couldn't identify. Precious oils, and soap as well.

His eyes were a dark blue, and though he wore some kind of powder to try and hide it, his skin beneath his eyes was sunken and darkened from a lack of sleep.

Her keen eyes picked out dozens of scars beneath his silk shirt. His muscles, as well, showed signs of battle fatigue. She had thought an emperor would have a soft life... His hair was certainly that of luxury... But everything else about him screamed warrior.

His soul had the same stench of blood, death, and guilt that she had smelled on Sai when she first met him.

The catgirl let her clothes slip from her shoulders and to the ground. She stood naked before him, "Does it please you, m'lord?"

"To an extent." He said with amusement, "Do I please your eyes, little exotic?"

She frowned, "You remind her of Sai. He runs from his guilt... Not the emperor. You seem to have grown comfortable with it. Wears the blood like a cloak. Remember the horrors like old friends."

"Insightful. Are you peeking inside my mind, little cat? Like you did with my mouthpiece?" He said with amusement, still not even bothering to look at her. Not even her breasts.

Toofy sat down in front of him, crossing her legs to give him a view, and spoke quietly. "She doesn't do that. Doesn't know how. She could see his thoughts, on his face. Easy emotions to read, hatred. The hate of one who would rape and kill, instead of talk."

"Is it true that you remained pure? Lord Sai was your first?"

She smiled at the memory. "Yes. He was so kind to her. He filled her, and she loved it. Loved him. She... She wants him back."

"Did he taint you?" The emperor demanded.

She cocked her head, "Taint? She isn't about to have kittens, if that is what the emperor means. But... Not for lack of trying. Sai and Toofy enjoy each other. She likes it inside."

"If I were to spill my seed into you, then you would be killed. I thought I desired that." The emperor said quietly, "But now... Now, I think I would like to set a cat amongst my pigeons. The lords of this land grow complacent. You are... Exotic. Dangerous."

Toofy swallowed.

"If I were to spill my seed in your rectum, then you will have fulfilled your duties adequately, and I would have no reason to kill you." He offered.

Her golden eyes went wide and her hands clamped over her backside. "Inside Toofy's butt!?"

"Surely the temple taught you of sodomy." The emperor teased her. "They teach you the finer points of heraldry and how to make a minotaur spill his seed, but not that?"

"They... Taught her." She said slowly, hands not moving from beneath her tail, "But Toofy did not like. Not like! She will, if she has to. She has no choice. But Toofy not want."

He laughed at her, "Would Toofy scream if I pulled her tail? Would she howl if I dragged her by the ear? I know how to make this painful, if you would prefer it. I do want that. We could find pleasure and delight in each other."
