Hyperion had made an executive decision to bring Higanbana with him. There were stinging memories, but he was on a schedule and he knew he had failed Dalia. He would correct some of the mistakes he believed he had made with his apprentice. For the beginning, he would also have a two pairs of collars for the two he had brought with him, Manaka and Higanbana. He had already told the newest recruit that she was his slave, but now this was a formality for her, but for Manaka, Hyperion would have to indoctrinate her.

They would meet in a private house that Hyperion had rented from the Kogata so he could more easily do his business with a bit more privacy. It would be important to consolidate his forces before he took things further by diving into the 'enemy' territory of the Hinamoto. He had manacles for the two of them, but he would call for Manaka first, since she had some catching up to do in terms of her new status, one that had been in the works quite some time. Hyperion had always planned for Manaka to be a slave since she was separated from her sister who she spent his time with Altan.

In the room was Naruto and Sasuke, ready to carry out any action he had desired. Hyperion had called for Manaka earlier, wanting to see her privately. Later in the day, there was a knock at the door, and through the peephole his new slave was quickly identified. When she entered, the door was closed behind her by the Kogata helping hands. Manaka wasn't all that startled, she seemed slightly resigned to her fate. Naruto and Sasuke would come from behind her, restraining her arms, then forcing her to her knees with a kick behind her leg targeting the joint. Tears would start to form and swell at the corner of her eyes

He would snap his right hand, which jangled with chains from his vessel. While Naruto restrained Manaka, Sasuke would put tight handcuffs on her that left no room for her to separate them. Those tears would start to drip and streak her face. She was unsure of what she did to get what she deserved but she would not fight back against Hyperion. "You promised to show me true strength... And you have... but is this also what you meant?" Her words were full of pain, but not spite. He would not hurt her since it was clear she had respect for him. Hyperion would draw the skeleton key from his pocket, staring at Manaka's face as she hung her head looking up at her. Hope filled her eyes as she saw what was going on.

The key slipped into the lock that binded her arms and with the twist of his wrist. The manacles would come undone falling, crashing to the floor. Hyperion would touch Manaka's face with the same hand that held his vessel. "That is your key so you can have a taste of freedom, despite being mine. And you will be helping me with Higanbana."

WC:520/1500

A house pet, her current status at the moment. She used to be a locked up animal in her family that both fortunately and also unfortunately ended up being freed by a man who took her as his slave. Higanbana didn't catch his name and she didn't have the time to ask either, but she would try to ask soon...although… how to be a slave anyways? Can a slave know their master’s name? That was quite confusing to be honest. But this, her freedom at the moment felt slightly better than being locked inside the cage for years.

Sarcastically speaking, her master felt like a knight in silver armor, who saved her from her evil family. It gave her a chill on her spine, the very thought of that joke made her want to puke and she would playfully stick out her tongue as if she was gagging.

Using her old memory when she was free to explore the world, Higanbana could recognize that they were in Kogata's territory now. That would imply that this man was a guest of Kogata after all… not only that, he was able to even rent a private housing from that clan as well, so he might not be just an ordinary guest. But come to think of it, she overheard those servants gossiping about how a lot of foreigners had been paying a visit to each clan and aided them to achieve their goals. He might be one of those foreigners…

As Higanbana embraced her freedom outside of the building, she would take a deep breath, letting the cold wind to be inhaled into her lungs. It was a weird feeling, even when she was outside the cage, she didn't feel suffocated at all. Usually when they let her out due to some official matters, she would still feel like she was walking in a bigger cage. Oh well, this might be just another cage as well, although way much bigger. But she was quite surprised that the man wasn't afraid that she would run away from him, he didn't chain her or anything. What a strange man… but she would like to see what kind of madness hidden under those empty eyes.

"Oh there's that girl as well… she looks meek… dont you think so?" The white haired girl looked towards her flying beast, mentioned about Manaka. That girl looked very obedient from what the cat eyed girl saw, not only that she looked kind of quiet as well. Was she a slave too? She couldn't really tell, but that Manaka girl would definitely be the one of his slaves no matter how weird it might look. She looked… very obedient, very willing to do everything that the man desired…

The man, the little girl and the other 2 guys that she didn't recognize were all in that house and only God knew what they were doing there… With a sigh, the catgirl would climb on the nearby tree, just in front of the housing to sit on the branch to wait for the man to finish whatever businesses he had in the house.

The Kogatan ninjas would leave after having witnessed Hyperion's forceful way on the young girl. Leaving her unscarred physically, but her mental and emotional states would definitely remember this. Hyperion had asked his shinobi subordinates to bring Higanbana into the building so she could experience the same fate as Manaka. He wanted to let Manaka handle this exchange so she could also become a little tougher, to replace the softness in her heart.

His Kina henchmen closed in on Higanbana and gave her explicit direction on entering the building where Hyperion was residing. Their shared demeanor was abnormally unfriendly for the pair, as if warning her about her upcoming fate. However, they would wait around until Higanbana had entered the building before leaving her presence to continue their work for Hyperion.

Manaka would open the door for Higanbana, but would be unable to look at her when she came in. There was a sense of guilt, but for Hyperion, there was a flash of an old memory. Just sitting at a desk full of paper work, he imagined Lilithia, the last time they met when he was under the influence. He had turned her away because she didn't understand slavery. One who only experienced dominance should never own a slave, and her thoughts would only believe in the end result. Turning someone into a slave was more than work or suffering, it was a tragic artwork. Painting and styling the behaviors of a human, chiseling their responses into their mind and body. Hyperion could only smile as he looked back fondly on Lilithia's potential.

His mind returning to the moment, Hyperion would wave to Manaka with a quill laced between his fingers. the motion would get Manaka to close the door behind Higanbana, and she could hear a padlock latch down, imprisoning them all with the building. The snow-haired girl still struggled to even make eye contact and trembled in fear of what her actions would do to Higan, but also what her inaction would cause for her. During the paralysis, Hyperion would call to Manaka. "Get the handcuffs." Manaka would get the same handcuffs that were used against her.

Manakas hormones were raging, these hormones would fill anyone near her with anxiety, distracting them as well as intimidating, warping Higanbana's thoughts. During these moments of panic, the new slave would twists and join Higanbanas wrists behind her back, locking them together. There was a sense of defeat in the young girls eyes having shared this fate someone else, but eventually a sense of relief came over the young girl. Now she would have someone to share her experience with, especially since being separated from her sister. Maybe... Higan could be her new sister?

Manaka now stepping back, unable to bring Higan to her knees. The master would rise to his feet, approaching Higanbana just as he did on the day of their first meeting. "I perhaps have rescued you from your old life. But I don't believe your life will get any easier. In fact, henceforth, you shall be challenged further than you have before in your life. But you shall be granted the opportunity to grow. "

Hyperion would take a step forward, sweeping her off her feet to the ground. Pinning her to the floor, a palm against her chest as his other hand frisked her, exploring her waist, down her hips. Upon reaching her thighs, he found what he was looking for, the key that had granted her freedom.

Retreiving the crystal key and flipping her onto her stomach to unlock the manacles. He leaned down against her back while he slipped the key back into her pocket. "I am your master."
