Secrets [Action; Akiha's memory]

[fionna_time]

It had been a long, confusing time. Fionna was still stuck in Kanako's body, and keeping the ever active libido of hers in check was getting to be a regular thing: the moment she saw exposed body part of a woman, she had to immediately think of ugly things, and even men, despite the risk of hives. It was really annoying, and right now, she knew it would be a bad idea to see Amimiya in this state. So right now she was by herself, kicking around the foliage, when took the opportunity to look up and see a falling leaf. It had been suggested they might want to grab one, to see if they could get back to their own bodies. Fionna sighed, and said aloud, "here goes nothin'" and grabbed one.

At first, nothing happened, and then it was like a movie reel going off in her head.

She could feel how different she was from herself: she was more in control, and possessed an ability to think quickly. She heard the noises from her father's room, and understood in mere moments what was happening: he was forcing sex on one of the servant girls, and Fionna felt a level of rage she had not felt before, not like this. She had also never thought of anyone forcing anyone to do something like that. It was a villainy that she knew even Ice Queen was not capable of.

“What is is, Akiha?”

“I wish for Kohaku to take over the duties as my personal attendant.”

Her father frowned. “You already have a personal attendant.”

“She is incompetent and cannot make my tea properly. I want Kohaku, Father.” Akiha said that with a darker tone as her anger slipped a bit into her voice. “She is to be mine, Father. You know that. As of tomorrow, she will see to me, not you.”

Akiha. The girl that scared, angered, mystified her with how she seemed to dominate people in this place with her rules and her tone. Now she could see why. The heavy oppressive ways of Akiha's family was not something she could shrug off and, more importantly, with the demon blood there was always the fear of losing control. Akiha dominated it, even now when her father angered her to the point where she clenched her hands so badly it drew blood. But-

“...you are the heir to the family. I will allow Kohaku to see to you from now on. But in exchange, we will increase your schooling. I won't have you chasing after that boy and have Kohaku. Starting next session, you will be attending a boarding school.”

Shiki. He was intentionally punishing her by keeping her away from him. She could feel Akiha's pain and anger mixed with her revulsion for what her father was doing, and the helplessness there. She could only wait until he died, so she could better manage the family.

“That is acceptable. I will leave you be now. Good evening, Father.”

And when he left, she washed up, and was finally able to cry. Shiki was out of her reach, but she had to protect Kohaku, she was...her own age.

The hives broke out, thinking of what Ahika's father was done, but Fionna was hardly thinking of that right now. She was on the ground, trying to hold herself, crying silent tears.
