My Precious Pet

This chapter takes place after Kid Buu Saga but way before Goku meets Uub

Part 2: The Middle

Warning: Toys, B-mod (piercing), Tort

“I am the World Champ! I am the one who beat Cell and now I beat Kid Buu!” Videl shifted uncomfortably in her seat at the café she was at as she saw her father on the TV screen. Across from her Gohan, her boyfriend, was sipping away at a soda. “Gotta love your dad huh?” Gohan said happily. Of course, Gohan knew the truth of who had defeated both Cell and Kid Buu, but Gohan didn’t care at all if Hercule took credit.

Videl once again shifted in her seat. Her hair was now cut short, much like that of a tomboy’s, for she wanted to appeal to Gohan’s taste for girls with short hair. She was dressed in her normal outfit of a white tank top, over a long pink t-shirt. Underneath that were her black spandex shorts. However, unknown to anyone other than her and 18, was what Videl wore underneath her outer garments. Underneath her clothes, Videl wore a makeshift bra that 18 had designed. This bra was made completely out of rope, but did not cover much at all. Instead it wrapped tightly around Videl’s breasts, causing them to enlarge from pressure. They formed a cross of rope on each of her perky breasts, which met in the center with a knot that pressed uncomfortably against Videl’s nipples. She also wore a makeshift thong, also made of rope. This was composed of a rope that wrapped around her waist, that had another series of thin ropes attached to it that ran between Videl’s legs and pulled upward into Videl’s ass crack and between her labia. No doubt, it was very uncomfortable to move wearing this.

Videl stood up suddenly, and the ropes pulled upward into her vagina, causing her to groan. It was her first day wearing these, as well as her first day taking rules from her Mistress outside of the chamber. Videl bent over slightly, then readjusted her posture. She felt the knots rub roughly against her nipples and gave a little grunt, causing Gohan to look at her awkwardly. “G-gohan…I need to go somewhere,” she said hastily. “I forgot I have to s-something to do.” She said all this without looking at Gohan.

Gohan stared awkwardly at Videl. “Videl are you okay?” he asked. “You’ve been acting strange today.” Videl blushed, for obviously her jerky movements from the discomfort of the ropes on her caused her to move strangely. 18 had not only ordered Videl to wear these garments, but also expected Videl to not make eye-contact with Gohan unless he spoke to her, as well as not start a conversation unless spoken to. Videl had violated both of these rules, for she normally acted rather bossy and loud around Gohan. Normally she would have done so today too, had she not been distracted by her uncomfortable garments.

‘18 wouldn’t know if I didn’t follow her rules out here anyway,’ Videl reassured herself. ‘It’s not like she follows me everywhere and watches me.’ Videl turned to Gohan and replied, “yea I’m fine. I just need to get going. I’ll see you later!” With that, Videl awkwardly stumbled out. Despite her reluctance to obey her Mistress in public, Videl was sure that if she did not get back to the mansion in time, what awaited her was not going to be pleasant. She had learned this many times in the past year.

Videl reached the front door of her home and opened it. She did not bother to check for the key under the mat, because now 18 had decided to keep the key on her at all times, causing Videl to constantly be at the edge of her seat watching for her father’s boasts. Hercule would not be home today, for she had just seen him on TV. By now the idea that it was Hercule who got her into this predicament in the first place only existed in the back of her memory. Now, her relationship to the once estranged 18, no longer had her father’s lies as its base, though it did prompt their meetings. 18 had trained this one well.

Videl entered her room and lowered herself into the underground chamber. The chamber had changed in the past year, as 18 added more toys and items to it. Now the chamber was lit brightly by lamps that stood in all four corners of the room. To Videl’s relief, she saw that 18 had not arrived yet. ‘Good, I’m early,’ Videl thought to herself. ‘That should be favorable for Mistress, and should also help cover up for me ignoring those other stupid rules she set.’ Though Videl had learned to be loyal by now, her first time being slightly submissive in public was not enjoyable. She did not intend to submit that far to 18.

Videl did as she had been trained to do in the past year, and she removed all her clothing, except for the rope undergarments 18 had made for her. She folded them neatly and placed them in a chest that was open in the room. From that same chest, Videl pulled out her black collar, which she had been given on her first day in here, and placed it around her neck. She then attached a large chain through the ring on her leash from which her name tag hung. Videl then shut the chest, which automatically locked on its own. Only 18 had the key to open it, for 18 decided when Videl was allowed to wear clothes and when she was not, and clearly in the chamber, Videl was not allowed to wear clothes. Videl then walked to the center of the room and knelt, facing away from the chamber’s entryway. She was to kneel here until 18 arrived, just as she had been trained to do.

After a few minutes of awaiting, Videl’s heart skipped a beat as she heard the familiar footsteps of 18 coming down the stairs. “You’re on time today pet,” she heard 18 say from behind her. “Yes Mistress,” Videl replied dutifully. She then listened to the rustling as 18 removed her clothes and began slipping on her normal dominatrix outfit, the same one she had worn since the beginning. By the time she was done dressing, Videl could hear the familiar clicking of 18’s heeled boots as she began to walk toward Videl.

“Have you been a good girl today?” 18 asked in a taunting manner as she stepped in front of Videl. 18 had initiated the conversation, and Videl knew that she now had permission to look at 18. Videl looked up from her kneeling position and replied, “yes Mistress.” 18 got down on one knee and gave Videl a soft kiss. Their two tongues interlocked for a brief instant and then 18 backed away. “We’re not here for pleasure yet,” she said. She stroked Videl’s short hair and then placed her hand behind Videl’s ear, on her neck.

“I see that you wore the clothes I told you to wear. But did you obey my rules?” 18 asked sternly. Videl gazed back into 18’s eyes. ‘Have to sound positive here,’ she thought to herself. “Yes Mistress, I obeyed every rule. I did not make eye contact or initiate conversation unless spoken to. Gohan thought I was weird,” Videl said innocently. 18 gave a little smile, removed her hand, and stood up.

“Ah so you saw Gohan today. You’re in love with that boy aren’t you?” 18 asked playfully. Videl did not know how to answer this. Over the past few months, Videl seemed to look forward to seeing 18, and sometimes even hoped for her father to begin boasting out loud again in order to meet with 18. It was almost as if Videl had grown fond of 18, though she could not admit it. But at the same time, Videl did have Gohan, whom she knew she loved as well. “Yes Mistress,” Videl answered softly. “I think I do.”

18 gave a light laugh. “That’s good pet,” 18 said, much to Videl’s surprise. Videl looked up at 18, for this was not the answer she expected. “I know,” 18 went on, “you must be confused by how I support your relationship with Gohan. But keep in mind I too have a husband whom I love dearly. Just because you are my pet, does not mean I am going to keep you sheltered from living your own lifestyle as well.”

Videl could not help but feel thankful for 18’s words. “Thank you Mistress,” Videl replied, and then faced the floor once again. “Follow me,” 18 ordered her pet. Videl crawled obediently after 18 once she felt her chain being tugged, still facing the ground. She was not allowed to stand on two legs in the presence of her Mistress. They stopped near one of the chests in the room, and Videl resumed her kneeling position. 18 produced some rope out of the chest, proceeded to securely bind Videl’s wrists behind her back. Videl did not complain, nor did she resist at all. She had become accustomed to this.

Once she had finished binding Videl’s wrists, 18 began to undo the rope bra and thong set that Videl wore. Videl gave a moan of relief as she felt the pulling against her crotch become released, and she felt her nipples stand erect without the feeling of pressure in her chest. The rope marks remained on her skin, but the relaxing of her muscles gave more relief than anything that Videl did not notice these marks. “Videl,” 18 addressed her pet. “Yes Mistress?” Videl asked as she looked expectantly up at her Mistress. “Around how many months has it been since you fell in love with Gohan?” The question took Videl by surprise. “Um…about 8 months Mistress.” Videl answered, blushing slightly. “I see,” 18 said. And how many times have you two seen each other so far this week? As well as how many times have you kissed thus far this week?”

Videl could not fathom the reason behind her Mistress’ questions. “Um…we’ve met three times so far this week, but only kissed twice.” 18 resumed to rummaging in the chest, while Videl lowered her head once more. She looked up once again when 18 addressed her. “Today we will have some fun,” 18 said, as she produced four large dildos. Immediately Videl knew the reason behind 18’s questions. “Here we have 8 inch dildos, three of them, each one an inch in diameter. And lastly a two inch diameter dildo. Prepare yourself pet,” 18 ordered.

Over the past 12 months, Videl’s vagina and anus had expanded slightly in size, and were capable of fitting many toys. Mistress 18 had taken the pleasure of constantly testing Videl’s capacity, slowly increasing it over time. Videl did not need to be ordered now, after so much experience with these toys. She turned around and placed cheek against the floor. She then straightened her legs and rose her ass into the air, facing 18. “Do you want them?” 18 asked. Videl answered from the ground, “yes Mistress. Please put them in me as you desire.”

Videl let out a moan as she felt the first, lubricated dildo, slide gently into her. All 8 inches became enveloped into her vagina as she felt it slip through and penetrate her cervix. It fit in easily. The second one followed soon after, also sliding in easily. The third one took a small amount of force, but was not too much trouble to fit in. Videl grunted as she felt 18 push the third one into her vagina. Videl’s anus was still rather tight, considering all it had been through, and Videl gave a loud moan as she felt the 2 inch dildo being forced into her ass. Her muscles tightened around it as it slowly entered her. When she felt they were all in, she felt her muscles contract around all the toys inside her. She resumed in her kneeling position, tensing the muscles in her lower regions to keep the dildos from falling out of her.

18 was holding a remote in her hand when Videl looked up at her once more. The remote clearly was the trigger to Videl’s pleasure. “Beg,” 18 ordered. Although this was an order, Videl could not help but actually want the pleasure. “Please Mistress,” Videl begged. “Please give this dirty slut her pleasure, though she does not deserve it.” Videl then bent herself over and kissed the tip of 18’s boot. She then looked up expectantly, but before she could look at 18’s face she felt her body jerk and spasm.

The four dildos had gone off simultaneously, causing her muscles to tense further as she felt them begin to vibrate within her. Videl began to let out a moan as 18 watched her precious pet writhe and squirm from the sensations. Videl could not help it. Her body continued to give in to the pleasure, as it began to glisten with sweat. She felt the waves of pleasure spreading throughout her, from her lower regions. Her breathing became ragged as she felt herself growing hotter. Meanwhile, 18 had proceeded to remove her one-piece dominatrix suit, which she rarely did.

18 cast her garment aside and stood over Videl. “Pleasure me,” 18 ordered. Hungrily, Videl lifted her head and reached with her neck. She stuck out her tongue and skillfully employed it to 18’s labia. 18 moaned as she felt Videl’s wet, hot tongue begin to circle around the outer rims of her vagina. The ragged, broken breaths of Videl were audible through her open mouth now as Videl used her tongue to slowly wet the surfaces around 18’s vagina, before she slowly began to reach forward, and allow her tongue to proceed into 18’s pussy.

18 let out a gasp as she felt Videl’s tongue enter her. “More,” 18 gasped as she bent her knees slightly, and took a firm grip of Videl’s short, black hair. She then forced Videl’s full face between her legs, causing Videl to give a muffled moan as her tongue began rubbing deeper along 18’s inner walls. “Much better,” 18 moaned aloud as Videl’s tongue began to wriggle itself along the inner linings of 18’s vagina.

Videl meanwhile could feel her own body beginning to reach a violent orgasm. The vibrations within her were sending off sensations of pleasure in all directions, to the point that Videl knew she would have an orgasm soon. However, Videl knew she could not release until given permission. Instead Videl tightened her muscles and attempted to ignore the feelings within her body, and focused her attention to her tongue, which was beginning to taste the sweet juices from within 18’s body.

18 herself was moaning aloud, enjoying the reverberations of pleasure shooting upward within her. Videl had learned to master using her tongue in such manners recently, and 18 was always the victim of its skill. The warmth that was filling 18’s own, tight space, was beginning to become unbearable, and 18 knew she would climax soon. 18 felt a sudden jerk, and looked down to see Videl writhing, and her legs trembling. ‘She must have reached her orgasm,’ 18 thought to herself. And just then, 18 lifted her head and gave a moan of ecstasy as she felt her own orgasm rip through her. 18 felt her fluids release quickly from her, and into Videl’s gaping mouth.

Videl was taken by surprise as she felt 18’s sweet cum spray out onto her face, and bathe her tongue and lips. She let the warm liquid flow into her mouth, and cover her cheeks, and slowly it filled up her oral cavity. She did not swallow though, nor did she reject it, she just left it there. As soon as she heard 18’s cry tone down, she felt 18’s presence vanish from above her. Videl opened her eyes to see 18 standing in front of her once more, her vagina dripping some remains of her own cum.

Videl’s legs were trembling now, for she felt the intense, painful desire to release her own cum, as the vibrations with in her continued. However, she continued to stare up at her Mistress, with her cum-filled mouth gaping open, allowing some precious drops to slip out. However, 18 turned her back on Videl, and rummaged through the chest. Videl agonizingly continued to hold herself. She felt as if she would explode from within. 18 finally turned back around, with a bowl. She placed it under Videl’s gaping vagina, and then proceeded to remove each of the vibrating dildos one by one.

Videl gave a muffled gasp as she felt her muscles loosen from within. However, that tempted her to release her own cum as well. She felt herself becoming dizzy, and forced her muscles to tense one more when she felt the first few drops approaching their exit. She shut her eyes tight to focus on holding herself in. Finally she heard it. “Release,” 18 ordered. Videl let out a loud moan as she felt her own fluids spray messily out from within her and into the bowl. The stream of cum filled the bowl partially, and Videl continued to breathe raggedly as she felt her dripping pussy finally feel its pleasure.

“Swallow,” were the next words that Videl heard. Obediently, Videl shut her mouth and allowed her Mistress’ hot juices to slide down her throat. The sweetness turned to bitterness as it glided past the back of her tongue, but Videl did not complain. She took her time, and swallowed every last bit of it. When she finished, she took in a deep breath. “Thank you, Mistress,” Videl said between breaths.

Videl knew her job was not done yet though. As 18 grabbed a towel, and wiped herself off, Videl proceeded to lick the stone floor, and remove any leftover traces of cum that were on the ground. When she had done so, she remained still, kneeling and facing the ground.

“Did you enjoy that you little slut?” Videl heard 18 ask as if toying with her. Videl now knew the truth, for she did enjoy it. “Yes Mistress,” Videl replied. “Thank you.” She felt her wrists being unbound as Videl undid the ropes. She cast those aside. 18 then picked up the bowl of Videl’s cum. “Do you have anything to say to me, pet?” 18 asked with a serious tone at this time.

Videl did not know why there was a sudden change in 18’s manner. She had become used to seeing 18 drastically change her mood from one moment to the next, and as always, they were unpredictable. Videl was unsure how to answer at this point, and thought that 18 was referring in some way for Videl to beg. “Please Mistress,” Videl responded. “May I be pleasured further?”

What came next was a surprise to Videl. 18 turned the bowl over and splashed Videl’s own cum messily onto Videl’s head. Videl gasped as she felt her own hot fluids mat her hair and begin to slide down her face like drops of sweat. She did not know what had brought forth 18’s anger. ‘What did I do?’ Videl wondered to herself in fear, as she continued to look at the ground. “Do you take me for a fool? Didyou think I really wouldn’t realize your lies and would just allow you to enjoy yourself today? You are a stupid whore to have fallen for such a trick” she heard 18’s angry voice yell. “Do you think you can lie to me as you did earlier?”

Videl felt her mind go into shock. ‘She knows! She knows I did not follow her rules. How?’ Videl wondered. Videl attempted desperately to play along, and said “what do you mean Mistress?” However, this did not play well with 18. 18 violently tugged at Videl’s chain, and began guiding her to one portion of the room. Videl stumbled afterwards, her face dripping with her own cum, as it ran down her cheeks. She felt disgusting.

“Do you forget I was once an android?” 18 asked angrily as she yanked Videl’s chain, indicating for Videl to stand. They were in one portion of the room where Videl was commonly punished. And Videl knew to expect punishment once more. 18 bent down and grabbed one of Videl’s ankles, and proceeded to attach a shackle to it that was emerging from the floor. “Do you think I could not detect that you were lying to me when I placed my hand on you and you told me you obeyed?” 18 continued to inquire.

Videl then remembered 18’s gentle stroke earlier, as Videl lied to her Mistress. She felt 18 begin to shackle her second ankle to the ground, leaving her legs spread about 3 feet apart. 18 then stood up and retrieved a stool. As she did so, Videl muttered, “Mistress I am sorry. I am sorry I lied to you.” Videl was weeping now. “I was just so afraid to do anything in front of Gohan. Please Mistress,” Videl pleaded.

18 returned with a stool and stood atop it, and proceeded to restrain Videl’s wrists with shackles from the ceiling. As she did so she spoke, “Did you forget who you were serving? I may have offered you to live a life that you want, but aside from all that you still serve me. You are my property!” 18 yelled. She finished shackling Videl’s wrists, leaving Videl spread eagle but standing up.

Videl continued to weep apologetically. “Mistress please forgive me. I won’t do it again. I will obey you, even in front of Gohan.” But Videl knew her pleas were to no avail. 18 proceeded to open up a third chest, and returned to Videl’s side with a black box. “You will be punished, my pet,” 18 said coldly. “You need to learn your place.”

Videl whimpered as she saw what was inside the box when 18 opened it. The box contained as many as one hundred golden clips, each one with small alligator teeth. Videl had only been through these once before, and she did not enjoy them. At that time she only wore two, one on each nipple. They were heavy and weighed down on her, and the teeth on each clip was painful, though not so dangerous as they would be capable of breaking the skin in any way or cutting Videl’s skin.

“Disobedience is not tolerated,” 18 said as she took the first golden clip and rubbed it against Videl’s left nipple. Videl felt her body betray her, as her nipple grew erect from the touch of the cold metal. Once her nipple was standing up like a small bead, 18 quickly attached the clip, causing Videl to give out a groan of pain. “M-Mistress…please,” Videl whimpered with her tear, and cum-stained face giving a pleading look. But 18 ignored this, and attached a second clip to Videl’s other nipple, causing her to whimper pathetically once more as she felt the clip bite down on her nipple and begin to weigh down on her breast.

At this point, Videl thought 18 was done, but then she saw 18 lower herself between Videl’s spread legs. 18 took a clip and brushed it against Videl’s unshaven pubic hairs, and then let it rub around her labia. Videl began panting hard, and pleaded, “Mistress…please not there,” but this too was ignored. 18 pinched Videl’s labia and pulled it out slightly, then attached the clip. Videl let out a cry of pain as she felt the permanent pinching sensation on her labia. When 18 let go of the clip, her labia moved back into place, but was heavier by from the painful feeling of the teeth digging into her flesh.

18 continued to apply clips all over Videl’s body, despite Videl’s whimpers of pain. When she was done, 18 let the empty box fall to her side. She had applied one clip to each nipple, then four along each edge of Videl’s labia. She had also placed 5 more surrounding each of Videl’s nipples, and 20 in random areas along Videl’s belly. 20 were placed all over Videl’s ass, and another 10 on Videl’s back. 2 were positioned on each of Videl’s armpits, and then 14 were used to align both Videl’s arms, and the remaining 14 on both Videl’s inner thighs. Videl was groaning in pain now, and panting heavily, from the biting sensations all over her body. Her nipples and labia had gone numb now, as they were the first to have clips applied to them.

“Have you learned your lesson?” 18 asked. Videl nodded her head vigorously. “Y-yes M-Mistress,” she answered painfully. “I-I’m sorry I disobeyed y-you.” 18 nodded her head in response. “Do you want me to remove the clips?” she asked, to which Videl nodded in response once more. 18 walked off and went to the chest, she returned, and observed Videl, while holding an object in her hands. The golden clips glistened all along Videl’s body. “I will remove them,” 18 answered as she stepped up in front of Videl. “With this,” 18 said, and she held up the same nine-tailed whip she had used on their first session.

Videl whimpered. Tears developed once more, and began to run along the dried cum on her cheeks. “M-Mistress I’m sorry,” she wept. But in her head, Videl knew she deserved the punishment. “For each lash,” 18 said, “I want you to count it out loud. You will then apologize for being disobedient. Lastly you will thank me.” Videl nodded her head in weak agreement as 18 continued to circle around her, waving the whip around methodically.

18 stopped behind Videl and began to lightly flick the whip against the clips attached to Videl’s ass cheeks, in preparation. Videl braced herself for the strike of the whip. 18 continued to flick the clips lightly, and Videl could feel their teeth digging hard into her buttocks and pulling down on her skin. Then Videl let out a yelp of pain as 18 lashed the whip hard. Videl felt two clips pull against her skin, and finally release, and she heard them fall to the floor. The pain was sharp and it stung, but she did not feel like any skin had been broken. 18 observed the pink markings on Videl’s ass, but there was no bleeding.

As soon as Videl had stopped screaming she gasped, “one. Mistress I am sorry for disobeying you. I thank you for punishing me like I deserve.” 18 was not satisfied. “Louder!” she shouted as she struck Videl’s back, removing a few more clips and causing Videl to scream aloud again. “Two! Mistress I’m sorry for disobeying you! Thank you for punishing me!”

Another crack echoed in the room as 18 moved in front of Videl and lashed at her breast, removing a few clips on her left breast but not the one on her nipple. Videl screamed as she felt that clip tug on her nipple. “Three!” Videl cried in pain. “I’m sorry for disobeying you Mistress! Thank you for punishing me!” Just as soon as she finished, 18 whipped at the clip on Videl’s nipple once more, and Videl screamed once again. The clip tugged at her nipple but did not fall loose. “Four!,” Videl cried with tears. “I’m sorry for disobeying you Mistress! Thank you for punishing me like a whore!” Once more 18 lashed at the clip on Videl’s nipple, and this time it came loose. Videl let out a piercing scream of agony. “Five! I’m sorry Mistress! I’m sorry!,” she cried desperately. The pain was almost unbearable. “Please stop!”

18 did not stop though. “Count!” she ordered. And this time she swung the whip upwards, between Videl’s spread legs, and lashed at her labia. Videl let out a long scream, as she felt the clips tug and jiggle her labia. None of them fell loose. As soon as her scream resided Videl gasped, “Six…”

This process continued, as Videl’s skin turned a pinkish shade. 18 was very good at controlling her whip. She was able to lash hard enough to remove the clips, but not enough to break any skin on Videl. Normally welts would form easily on the skin, but Videl was a trained martial artist, and she was strong. Her skin was lined with muscle, that made it a bit more difficult for welt formation. The final clip fell after 3 hours of this torture. “Two-hundred sixteen,” Videl gasped painfully and weakly. “Mistress I am sorry for disobeying you. I thank you for punishing me…I learned my lesson,” Videl gasped.

18 dropped the whip and proceeded to caress Videl gently with her hands. “Good girl,” 18 said half amused. “I hope you have learned your lesson.” Below her, the mess of clips lay randomly surrounding Videl’s body. Videl was breathing heavily, her body was sweating. 18 walked off to the chest, and Videl could hear her rummaging. ‘More?’ Videl wondered to herself. ‘I can’t take anymore.’
But 18 returned once more, with another black box, and a lit candle. ‘Waxing?’ Videl wondered. This was another popular technique 18 used to teach Videl a lesson or two.

“M-Mistress please,” Videl cried weakly. “No more…” But 18 opened the box and pulled out something that caused Videl to be alert. “Mistress! Please!” Videl exclaimed. 18 walked over to the candle, and began to heat the tip of a needle. “Consider this to be a gift,” 18 said.

Videl trembled in fear. ‘I don’t want piercing!’ she protested in her mind. But her body was to weak to resist. 18 finished heating the needle point, and walked over to Videl. “This will be over in a second,” 18 said. Videl whimpered anxiously, and struggled to escape from the needle. But her restraints prevented her from doing so. 18 took a firm grip of Videl’s left breast, and licked the tip of Videl’s nipple, causing it to betray Videl and stand erect. Videl shut her eyes tight, then let out a scream as she felt the needle pierce through her tit. The pain she felt was agonizing, as the needle ran through her tit and came out the other side. The hot burning sensation filled her entire breast.

18 let go and left the needle there. It was a very thin needle, but painful nonetheless. Videl was breathing raggedly once again. Her body was sweating all over, and she was crying in pain. The painful process repeated itself once more before 18 pulled the two needles out from Videl’s nipples and discarded them. She then carefully observed the piercing she made, as Videl’s chest heaved up and down quickly from her fast paced breathing.

Finally Videl felt her muscles loosen and she fell to the ground as 18 stood atop the stool and released her wrists. Videl lay there, tired and unable to move. She used her hands to cup her now pierced nipples, and massage them to remove the pain. “Don’t touch,” 18 ordered, as she proceeded to unfasten the shackles at Videl’s ankles. Videl weakly removed her hands. 18 then knelt beside Videl, and caringly took Videl’s head into her arms and held it against her breast.

18 held Videl’s body affectionately close to hers, like a mother carrying her baby, and Videl shut her eyes and continued to weep. “Mistress…I’m sorry,” Videl said weakly. But 18 only shushed her. “You made a mistake today, and you have learned for it,” 18 said softly. She continued to hold Videl’s body to hers. “Let’s hope it never happens again. You know I do this only because I love you."

Videl nodded weakly. “Yes Mistress…your pet is very thankful that you care for her,” Videl said softly.

"Also," 18 spoke. "Don't cut your hair like that. I liked it better when it was long," she said smiling.

Videl was surprised to find 18 smiling. She had never seen it before, but somehow it made her feel very warm inside and happy. Then her world faded to black. Videl passed out from all she endured, and 18 held her their in her arms, and would continue to do so until Videl woke up.
