Ko-chan’s Chronicles

After Kogamo left the room and the door closed, the ancestor appeared inside in an instant.

"It won't be enough. If you want her to overcome her nightmares, she has to face them head on. Your ideas so far have been good, but they can only take you so far." The ancestor bluntly stated her opinions.

Matsuko sighed. "I don't want her to go back to that place. She was trembling so hard. Some scars you can't recover from."

"She certainly won't overcome it by running away for her entire life. You may shelter her, but are you okay with her being your shivering little guarded pet forever? If you want her to be accepted as your mate by all who look, she needs to be able to stand on her own without your guardianship." The ancestor's cutting words continued.

Matsuko slapped the table. "Do you think I don't know that!?! But who could bear to see their loved ones suffer like that so soon after such a painful tragedy?"

The ancestor smiled slightly. "You certainly have the passion, but do you have the conviction? It sounds to me like you believe she will crumble to dust when facing her fears, instead of being reborn from the ashes."

Matsuko growled, her eyes lighting on fire. "You dare doubt my devotion to her? I will burn down the world for her, and I won't let anyone hurt her. Even you."

"You're afraid. You saw how she reacted the last time she was in a crisis, and you think it will happen again, and this time, she won't make it back in one piece." The ancestor pressed down even harder.

"You dare!" Matsuko's flames grew even hotter, and this time a beam of flame shot towards the ancestor.

The flame beam was caught by the ancestors hand and disappeared like it was nothing. She laughed even harder. "Very good. If you feel so strongly about her, then give her the chance. She deserves to prove herself capable enough to stand by your side, not behind your back."

With a bang of her staff, the ancestor disappeared without even waiting for a response.

Matsuko slumped into her chair looking absolutely distraught.

* * *

I was slid into the meeting room by a guard who was breathing heavily as she shoved me along the floor. "We're here, Young Miss." The guard bowed and closed the door as she left.

Matsuko looked up from her chair. "Well, look who's having fun in her new car seat."

"Hey! You were the one that came up with this, not Naruyo, right?" I immediately accused Matsuko when I saw her.

Matsuko looked offended. "Why I never, why would I commission such a cute and effective way of locking down my favorite little fairy~"

"Gah! I knew it! Hurry up and free me!" I struggled, but I was held down exceedingly well.

Matsuko's playful smile faded. "Not before you hear me out. Are you really sure about training? If you go back to that nightmare, I won't be able to save this time. You have to save yourself. If you can't... you'll be manipulated and helplessly tormented forever."

My playful complaints instantly faded. "...If I don't go, I'll be weak and helpless forever. I've already been targeted twice because of it. I know you want to protect me forever, but what about me? I don't want to just be a prized fairy kept in her glass cage. You might not know but I've picked up some ideas of the outside world from listening to the guards and the ancestor talk. I know. Even if you crush the whole world, there will still be people that don't accept me at your side."

Matsuko clenched her hands as I spoke further. "...So you knew."

"Do you know what your guards are doing outside? They're preparing to fight the world on your behalf. They know you're willing to fight anyone who objects to us being together, and they are ready to follow you to the end. If they can do it, why can't I?" I made my final stand to Matsuko.

Matsuko sighed and dropped back into her chair and slumped back. "...Ugh...I hate when she's right. She's going to remind me of this until the day she dies."

Matsuko's eyes teared up. "I really don't want you to do this. I can't bear to lose you again. You have to promise me that you'll return."

I didn't think I had ever seen Matsuko like this before. The cool queen in my heart was crying, begging me not to go. But I knew, this was my only chance. I have to soar into the sky in order to stand proudly next to her.

"Of course. I'll be back in no time!" I tried to sound as confident as I could to make her feel better.

She pushed the box on the desk forward, opened it, and tilted it up so I could see inside it.

What was inside made me tremble at first sight. A white, Flame Latex hood with no openings and fox ears on top.

"This is...why is it?!" My voice shook.

Matsuko sat up and leaned forward. "Do you understand now? If you want to conquer your nightmares. Make them your power. If this scares you off, then please just stay as my little fairy forever. I won't let anyone harm you."

I grit my teeth. I could see the magic radiating from the hood. The strongest law I had ever seen Matsuko create. [You will be isolated.] The waves of power radiating off it were making me feel stifled even from this distance with it in the box. I couldn't imagine putting it on and having all that power focused on me alone.

Matsuko picked it up and kept speaking. "This was the last thing she used on you in your dream, right? At the last second she said she would prove that you were never a fairy, you were always just a pet on a leash."

Matsuko shuddered slightly as she held it. "I'll be honest, this hood even scares me a little. I can't imagine being closed off from the world forever. Which is why I don't want to let you do this. But I know in my heart that if I crush this desire of yours, you will never be able to fly completely free."

I made the biggest decision of my life so far. "...I'm going to do it. I'll find my own power and come back to you. Just wait here for me."

Matsuko started to tear up again. "Hold still. Once I put this on.. it will fuse with the rest of the petsuit. Remember, I can't destroy this, so... you will stay there forever if you fail."

I gritted my teeth as I prepared to face the greatest trial of my life. "Ah, wait, get me off this car seat f--". She slid the mask over my head before I could finish my sentence and it immediately tightened over my head. I could feel it compressing me everywhere and then, the law hit me and I felt nothing.

* * *

It was like the world was deleted. No sound, no sight, no touch, no connections, no powers. I was drifting in the void for what seemed like forever when I suddenly woke up.

I was hanging from my wings and the vibrators were growing even more powerful. The light that guided me out of the dream before was now fading away, the door to freedom slowly closing once more, leaving me alone, blind, paralyzed, at the mercy of my greatest enemy.

Zetsuna laughed. "So you came back. Even your new master didn't want you anymore. How pathetic. You know, I knew another person who was also thrown away by two masters. You knew her too, her name was Asami. Do you know her fate?"

Zetsuna cackled with glee. "Bound eternally, alone, with no hope of escape forever! JUST LIKE YOU!"

I shivered as I orgasmed again, but my convulsing couldn't seem to cloud my mind from listening to Zetsuna's words.

Zetsuna laughed more. "You know. I gave you this cute little hood to remind you that you were a pet, but I don't think it was enough. Shall we go for an upgrade? I love getting new clothes, you know~"

In a flash all of my restraints were gone. I could feel my freedom returning, but despite that, I was still floating helplessly in the air.

"Ha ha, did you think losing your restraints would make you free? You are bound by things much stronger than physical restraints. I also did you a favor and let you keep those contacts you seem to love so much. The most poetic thing about you. Blind eyes that have stars in them, I could laugh about it all day." Zetsuna's voice came from all around me. I kept trying to move or reach something.

"Now now, don't get too excited. I am just about to give you my gift, after all. You know, I've been watching. You got quite some elaborate 'armor' from your owner didn't you? I hate to be left out of something like this, so I made you some armor of my own."

I could feel a chill wind blowing around me, one that was sucking the warmth from my body. Ice cold ribbons wrapped my limbs, forcing them to bend and be bound that way. The ribbons overwhelmed my body, until I was buried in them.

Wait! How did she know about Matsuko's gear? I couldn't avoid the ribbons at all, they came from every direction at once..

"Don't worry, I'm nowhere near done. You had some nice little binders, didn't you?" Zetsuna's mocking voice penetrated my mind no matter how much wrapping there was over my ears.

Binders made of ribbons laced and strapped onto my body, crushing my limbs and waist and locking tight. After that, a full suit made of ribbons followed, just like the one Matsuko made me. A big bow tied itself behind my neck, like a gift waiting to be opened.

This... it can't be... she copied Matsuko's design perfectly, but inverted its purpose... I can't... I have to escape... but I'm so cold...

The ribbons themselves drained my strength and vitality just like before, and the binders took my mobility. Finally, the suit took away my hope.

"Now, that's a look I could get used to. All neatly packed, and tied up with a bow. Now, let's put you back in the frame how you were." Zetsuna spoke triumphantly.

I could feel something latch onto my limbs, waist and neck, then yank tight. In seconds I was pulled into a spread eagle position with no movement whatsoever.

I tried my hardest, but... I don't know what to do... I have no chance to escape this dream... It's even worse than before...

"Don't worry, I didn't forget your entertainment, I was just waiting until it would make you suffer the most" A cruel voice hit my ears as I felt huge vibrators start to thrust in and out of all three of my holes rhythmically.

"Now, shall we talk about eternity? Namely, the fact that you will be here, having orgasm after orgasm while you shiver from the freezing cold, forever, until you fade away?"

"What if I cut off even that little shred of hope that you have? You are thinking, maybe, if I last long enough, someone will come save me? But what if they came and saved you, but they couldn't free you? You would be trapped in your shell forever, despite being in your lover's arms you would never know!"

"I learned a new trick from your Mistress outside. That latex she made is quite intriguing. I decided to make my own, but instead of keeping power inside your body, mine will drain the power outside your body, and never let a single shard of warmth enter again." She cackled maniacally and I felt something impact my body.

Oh no... it can't be?! But that needed all four of their laws, how could Zetsuna create it all on her own? Is she truly that powerful?!

The goo slid over my body and easily covered me, after all, I was completely immobile. I felt it harden and compress, and even more so than before, I felt like I was encased in a block of ice that would never melt.

Just like before, as soon as the latex hardened, I could start to feel every touch from the outside again. I could feel her caress my face and blow into my ears.

"How is it? Even I can't free you from this prison now, what makes you think anyone else can? Just surrender and wither away to nothing~"

She groped my body mercilessly from head to toe as I was slammed from all directions by vibrations. I convulsed in continuous orgasms as I felt my mind start to dim.

Was this really it? I failed? Was I... too confident? Am I truly unworthy to be by My Lady's side?

Zetsuna laughed in my ear. "Of course, the answer to all those questions is 'Yes~' Just surrender to the cold embrace of oblivion and I'll make you feel so good~"

That.... I orgasmed again and again, each time interrupting my thoughts. But the one question that I couldn't get rid of was... why?

Why was she here in my dreams? Why did she know everything that happened to me? Why did she have so many powers?

Zetsuna laughed "Of course, the answer is easy. That's because I'm actually..."

Her voice changed... to mine.

"That's right, I'm you. Now, we both know you don't belong in a world as great as Matsuko's, right? You're just a mortal, a duck, an easy mark. It's in your name after all, you can never rise above it." She?...I? groped my body as she spoke into my ear.

"Do you think you can be a fairy tale princess? Picked up from your shitty life and carried off to be adored and cherished by everyone? Get a clue! Wake up to reality! Nothing like that ever happens. That's why it's a f-a-n-t-a-s-y."

"Just stay here with me, where you can be right in the position you deserve. Alone, in the dark, in the cold, being abused and tormented forever."

"I...didn't know... wasn't this the truth? I really wasn't worth it.. after all..."

My consciousness dimmed until I could barely think.. and that's when I could sense it. The only thing left when everything else was stripped away.

In front of me appeared another me. Made of black light, and adorned in white flames. Twirling around like a little fairy. Undeniable proof of who I was and who I belonged to.

"Ah! I can't take this anymore! I want to see Matsuko right now!" The tiny version of me stopped twirling and flew right up in front of my face. Then her eyes opened, and a blinding white light filled my mind.

"G-Gahh...No...you can't leave me...think of all the scary things! Your doubts! You'll be hurt again! Matsuko will get hurt again! It will be your fault!" 'I' screamed to myself as the light grew even brighter. 'My' voice faded away to nothingness, and all was silent.

The light seemed to reach some kind of barrier it could not penetrate. When I reached out, I could feel it. The barrier of laws that Matsuko had created. The strongest law: [You will be isolated.] It created a supreme barrier that forbade everything from leaving, even light.

"Grr... This... This is the opposite of what I want! I want to be connected. FOREVER!"

As if by some supernatural rule, the law shuddered and then suddenly reversed polarity. The light was sucked out faster and faster until I couldn't think any longer.
