Katsumi heard footsteps approaching her. It must have been three or four men, moving decisively.
“She was after the Princess,” said a voice hunched over her. Katsumi heard the voices of the men muttering to each other. “Do not untie her unless there are at least two of you and you are armed,” said the voice as its hands searched her body, stripping her of her tools and weapons. “Strip her completely naked and make sure that she is not hiding anything- ANYTHING.”
Katsumi's blood ran cold. She had, in theory, always been prepared to one day be captured, and possibly ill used, but now that she was actually facing it she was more scared than she thought she would be. Her training kept her from panicking; she didn't struggle or make any noise, even as the man's hands ran all of her body, taking the liberty to enjoy themselves here or there. Still, the thought of being stripped naked by these men and then used however else threw the world into a focus that she had never experienced before.
The man completed his search and stood up. “This woman is highly dangerous. However you deal with her, do it quickly.”
He was obviously not simply one of the guards; Katsumi could only guess as to who he was as she was picked up and dragged off. |
