"Ẏ̷͈ë̶̞s̵̢͛." Shiki answered. Her lips moved on their own as she found herself staring deeply into his eyes. There was no thought as to why she had suddenly spoken. The words had come into her mind, and she felt compelled to speak them. It was devoid of anything else at the moment. Nothing else seemed to matter other than this man, as she kept staring at him, and him staring down at her own eyes. Every second those brightly shining blue azure eyes stared down at her own, Shiki felt her own will and mind being worn down. A part of her, lingering on in his presence, tried to move, as her fingers twitched, aching to reach for her blade. Yet, Shiki felt as if doing so was a terrible, terrible action to take. After all, a **** wouldn't rebel against her Master.

"I've been looking for you, Ryougi Shiki." The man reached out and caressed her chin. "I've heard about you, about your eyes, about your innate struggle with your desires and your gifted connection to the root. It's such a shame that you've gone through so much, without a man to look over you, to take care of you and make proper use of you. But worry not no more. A lost lamb like you belongs to me."

"Ah... yes..." Shiki mumbled. He was right. It sounded so right. Despite her impulses driving her to fight against this man, she didn't have any conscious will in her to push him off, let alone resist. Just then, he leaned in, and after using his fingers to spread her lips open faintly, pushed his mouth right in, and slipped his tongue into her mouth.

Slick... slurp... slurp...

The two kissed, with the man holding her tightly and closely around the waist, before he pulled off, stringing a piece of saliva across their mouths before he let go, never breaking eye contact with her. At this point though, the mysterious man grinned, as he stared into Shiki's dazed eyes.

"You're so beautiful.... you'll look quite nice in my home... Ryougi Shiki, girl of the root... your eyes and body will serve me well."

He tightly pulled around her waist, as he hugged her closely to his body. Her body staggered, and stumbled, as she followed him wherever he took her.
