Yoshino and you argue.

The guard continues to march you up the winding network of hallways and stairwells. You grow winded from your journey and know that you must be getting close to Master's bed chamber. Finally, you arrive at the end of a hallway with large heavy double doors. Beautiful, but strong female guards stand at attention on either side. They tower over you and, despite their clearly augmented strength, struggle to open the heavy doors for you to enter.

The doors open revealing a grand outer chamber with two additional doors at the far end. Those obviously lead to Master's inner bed chamber. Yoshino is already present. She waits in a kneeling position facing the doors. She is dressed in a similar night gown as you, but the purple color compliments your red. The sheer nighty clings to her augmented curves. Beneath the fabric you can see the dragon tattoo wrap around the small of her back and disappear down one of her legs beneath her. Her amethyst adorned collar is locked to a floor anchor by a chain leash.

The guard pushes you along side your rival and you immediately kneel. A similar chain is locked to your ruby collar and you are tethered to the floor. The guard verifies you are securely attached with a few violent tugs on the leash and exits behind you. The doors close with a loud bang.

You and Yoshino are alone. Through the thick doors in front of you you can hear a woman moaning from within Master's bed chamber. It is difficult to tell if the moans are from pain or pleasure.

A chill creeps up your back.

"It took you long enough!" Yoshino hisses from beside you.

"Are you for real?!" you exclaim in an exasperated whisper back.

Neither one of you dares to unlock your eyes from the door in front of you. You kneel on the cold marble floor like good little concubines.

"Of course! You want to throw me off on my most important night with Master! You are such a Fushidarana on'na!" Yoshino continues.

"Common tongue, please! How many times do I have to tell you that I don't speak Japanese?" You complain back a little louder, "I'm so sick of this! I'm so sick of you trying to challenge me on everything!"

Yoshino responds with more Japanese insults.

Suddenly the doors in front of you open!
