Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

??? POV

Looking at the woman who was hiding her anger because I was given as a gift I felt that maybe she wouldn't be like the others, too bad I was, once again, wrong. As soon as she closed the door and turned around she stared at me for a while and told me to strip.

Guess she was just like the others, as I slowly removed my clothes I thought 'How am I gonna kill this one?' When I finally removed my clothes, I stood in the middle of the red and white room, scanning it to look for a weapon, but while doing so I apparently didn't hear my new owner as she soon kneeled down to get to my eye level and said "Even if you don't like me, I expect an answer when a question is given." And after saying that she picked me up and carried me to the bathroom.

'Why is she taking me to the bathroom?' I couldn't help but wonder because surely she wasn't gonna give me a bath, none of my owners care for me, why would she? She turned on the water, tested the temperature, brought out a little tub, set me in, and to my surprise she started washing me. 'Why is she washing me does she not want to play with a dirty toy? If so that makes sense.' While I was questioning my life choices she continued washing my body and scrubbing my hair and I'm not gonna lie it felt good, coulda sworn that I almost fell asleep.

After she picked me up from the tub, she placed me on a stool and wrapped a towel around me and manually dried my hair. After that she picked me up and placed me on her red and white checkered bed. "What size are you ?" "Medium." I mumbled in a daze to her question. When I looked up I saw walking to the door and asking for something from a servant before they left and she sat on the bed next to me.

"My name is Kousagi Takeru, what is yours?" She asked me gently. "I don't have one, none of my previous owners gave me one." "Hmm, well then I'll name you.... Chiyo. Chiyo means 'bloody night', because your eyes are red like blood, and your hair is black, like the night." She finished looking proud of herself. "Then what does your name mea-" I started before I was cut off by a knock on the door and a servant handing her some clothes and she thanked them before sending them away.

"Here are your clothes." She said as she handed me a night gown and outfit like hers but red and black with the mask frowning instead of smiling. "Now what was your question?" "What does your name mean?" "Kousagi means 'little rabbit' and Takeru means 'furious and wild'." "Why 'little rabbit'?" "Because my hair is white and my eyes are red, like a rabbit." "Oh." I finished the conversation and stared at the clothes. "You know you're supposed to put the night gown on right?" She questioned with the same smile I've never seen leave her face.

As I stood up to put the gown on she pointed to the bathroom and told me to change in there. When I put the gown on I was surprised to see the red gown and the underwear that came with it fit me. As I walked out, I saw that she was in a gown similar to mine except it was black. She pointed to the couch and told me I would sleep there. Seeing the confusion on my face she said "You think I didn't sense your killing intent? You're sleeping on the couch." She then giggled when I blushed red from embarrassment and I walked towards the couch and sat on it not ready to sleep yet.

She noticed that I wasn't sleepy and offered to talk to me until I could, I declined as I wouldn't talk to a total stranger about my life story, owner or not. I think she got the hint as she turned around and went to sleep leaving the lamp on for me. 'Now how the hell do I get out of here?' I questioned myself after checking my owner was actually asleep and noticing the window was locked, as I tiptoed around the room looking for a way out. 'I guess I can only try the door, though I doubt it'd be unloc-...' I cut off my thoughts after trying the door finding it was unlocked.

I sigh while continuing on my way, not noticing the smile on my owners face got wider. As I sneak through the hallways of the castle, I arrive at one of the doors I assume is one of the so-called 'summoned heroes', and hear moaning, which absolutely disgust me, because I knew that all of us delivered to them weren't even teenagers. 'Disgusting bastard.' I think.

I scowl in disgust before continuing on my way. I take a right turn through the hallway that I am currently in, seeing all of these expensive things that I'm honestly tempted to steal, but I know that if I do take it I'm more likely to get caught and also I don't have pockets. As I make it to the main hall where the door is located. I get excited and slightly rush forward before getting tripped and caught by the collar of my gown causing me to choke a little.

After I was caught the person who did so lifted me up and placed me down in front of them so I could see their face, and surprise, surprise, who other than my owner, with the very same smile except a little brighter. I sigh in defeat as she carries me back to her room not saying anything but noticing my surrender.

I wonder what my punishment will be. Hope she'll go easy on me, not that they ever have.
