Game Between Two Women; Possession

The night was as black as ink, and the cold wind wailed across the ruins.

Suiko sat cross-legged beside a broken Stone Tablet, her hands folded over her knees and her eyes tightly shut.

A faint spiritual glow lingered around her as she circulated her Spiritual Power, trying to suppress the cold, unnatural sensation within her.

"Useless."

Kaguya's voice echoed in her heart, carrying a lazy hint of amusement.

"Now that I am inside your body, nothing you do can hurt me."

Suiko did not open her eyes. She merely said flatly, "Then why don't you take the chance to devour me?"

"Devour you?"

Kaguya gave a soft laugh.

"Silly girl, if I devoured you, I would have to face your master alone.

"With what remains of my soul, he could crush me with a single finger."

"So you need me."

Suiko opened her eyes, the star-filled sky reflected in them.

"You need me as cover."

"Smart."

Kaguya's voice held approval.

"Your master..."

"He is merciless toward his enemies, but he protects those around him fiercely."

"Before he left, he even planted black flames to protect his little disciple."

"People like him are the easiest to hurt through those close to them."

Suiko clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white.

"You want me to... hurt Master?"

"Not hurt him."

Kaguya's voice was as gentle as a lover's whisper.

"Men, especially powerful men, often find the tenderness of those around them the hardest thing to resist."

"If you can make him develop different feelings for you, make him see you as more than a disciple..."

"Shut up!"

Suiko cut her off sharply, rage blazing in her eyes.

"Master treats me as his disciple, and I regard him as my master. Do not even think of using such despicable methods!"
