The next morning I slept in, knowing I had nothing to do, and Matsuko would be gone all day. Finally, the sun woke me up and I rolled over in bed. "A day off from everything.. I wonder what I should do?"
I dragged myself out of bed and over to my wardrobe. I grabbed a set of gold bikini and accessories without even blinking and put it on. It had been long enough that I had become completely used to this kind of "style" and didn't get embarrassed or think twice about wearing and being seen in it. I left my room, and found my usual assailant waiting for me. Today, though, was different, and I was able to shove her away and run a few steps down the hall before confronting her.
"Wow, the commoner girl learned some new tricks. Are you not doing your stupid little training anymore? It made you so easy to bully when you kept your arms locked away like that. That's fine, I've been wanting to try something a bit more.. effective, anyhow."
"What's your problem with me anyhow, Asami? I didn't do anything to you. Why do you hate me so much?"
Asami seemed to get even more angry that I didn't understand why she was angry. She pointed and started yelling at me. "It's all you. Your existence makes me hate you! Until you came, Matsuko-sama relied on me for everything. I was her right hand girl, and I took care of all kinds of matters for her. Now, all she talks about is "Ko-chan this", and "Ko-chan that". She barely even speaks to me now, and it's mostly in contempt or to yell at me for something regarding you. So, until you get out of the picture, I can't have Matsuko-sama back!" She got progressively angrier as she ranted, and by the end, her face was red and she was heaving heavy breaths.
"That's why, I challenge you, Kogamo, to a duel!" She walked down the stairs to the foyer, and yelled up from the bottom. "That is, if you aren't the coward I know you are."
The self-doubt inside me swirled more strongly as I listened to her grievance. Was I actually just getting in the way? I didn't come to the student council with the intention of messing things up. All I knew was that she wouldn't stop harassing me until I defeated her in this duel.
I walked down the stairs somewhat in a daze. "Fine.. It seems like nothing can stop this. What are the rules?"
"Hmph. We will have one chance to escape each, and the fastest will win. Of course, if the first person cannot escape, there's no point to a second round, it will be an automatic loss after fifteen minutes. As for the forfeit, I'd love to say "The loser must leave." but the crystal is not strong enough for that. Instead, I'll have to settle with something that will make you miserable. The loser will have to wear rings and vibrators at all times. Of course, the winner holds the remote."
The rules seemed reasonable to me. I had been practicing the "one rope instakill" move that Naruyo showed me, and she even gave me some tips to make it even more effective. As long as I got a chance, I was confident that I could make Asami tap out without much trouble. "The rules are fine. Who will go first?"
"Coin flip. I'll flip a coin, heads means I go first, and tails means you go first." She held out a coin and tossed it in the air a few times.
"What about everyone else? Shouldn't they watch?" I looked around, but I didn't see any of the other girls.
"Matsuko will be gone until tomorrow. I heard the other three mention they were going out to do some shopping for an event coming up soon, and they won't be back until late tonight. It's just you, me, and the crystal, Kogamo."
I was a bit nervous, but I didn't want to always let others fight my battles for me. This time, I would solve my own problem. "Fine. Let's do it. Flip the coin."
Asami grinned maliciously and flipped the coin. It landed on the floor with a clatter, and we both leaned in to see what it landed on. Heads... my spirit sank. That meant I had to escape from Asami's tie before I got a chance to use what I'd learnt. Hopefully she wouldn't be as skilled as Naruyo.
"Well, it looks like I won. Hurry up and strip off, Kogamo, I want to get this over with." She snapped up the coin and put it back in her pocket, then started unwinding a rope from the stash under the table.
"Wait, why do I have to strip?" I was getting unhappy now. This wasn't in the rules.
"What do you know? Every serious challenge can only be done when neither side has the ability to bring in outside tools or help. This is a challenge between two people, not the contents of their pockets!" She sounded self-righteous enough and I didn't have any evidence to refute her statement, so I had no choice but to leave my clothes on the couch and come over to her.
"Hah, so it's true. You really screwed up your ankles so much you can't even bend them anymore. How pathetic. I guess it does make it a bit easier for me, though. Now, kneel down."
I clenched my teeth, but still did as she asked. Once on my knees, she moved around behind me and started wrapping rope around my elbows. After a few wraps, she cinched it off and then repeated the process below my elbows. She passed the rope up around my shoulders and then back down, anchoring it to the elbow ropes to keep them from slipping down. "That's one down." She idly spoke as she was tying.
"Wait, why are you getting another rope? What happened to the rules?" I tried to struggle a bit, but she was sitting on my legs, so I wasn't really able to do anything effectively.
"What rules? I never said this was a one rope challenge. I get to use as much as I want, and you have to sit there and wait patiently until I say I'm done. Now, let's do something about those pesky hands." She reached over to the supply box and brought back a thick roll of tape.
"Wait! This isn't fair, you can't do--gha" My complaints were interrupted when she grabbed my hair and pulled back sharply. The pain was severe but short-lived, because she only needed a second to use the muzzle she intended to use this morning. With a gurgle of pain, she shoved it all the way to the back of my throat, and with a quick press, clamped my mouth onto it.
"I knew you would bitch and moan the whole time, so I kept the muzzle I was unable to use earlier. Now, shut your trap and let me finish." She grabbed each of my hands one by one and wrapped them with the sticky fabric tape in multiple layers most of the way to my elbows. "Should feel right at home, considering how much you've been wearing those mittens lately, huh?" I groaned in pain. It was true I had worn mittens a lot lately, but the tape stuck to my skin and that made it painful just to try and move my hands and fingers. Next she started tying my wrists together with the second rope, and this made the tape grip even tighter. By the time she had the rope around my wrists cinched, I already knew I probably wouldn't be able to free my wrists or hands.
"Now for the secret move. Have you heard of a chicken wing, Kogamo?" She tied a rope around the wrist cinch and fed it up to the rope between my shoulders. She slowly pulled on it, which pulled my wrists up towards my shoulders and made my elbows stick out at an angle. As she pulled more and more, my shoulders started to hurt from being bent back at such an angle. "Kogamo is flexible, so you should have no problem holding this kind of position, right?" She pulled it a little more, forcing my hands to be pressing on the middle of my back, then tied it off tightly. She added more cinching ropes around my chest and arms, which reinforced the position and meant that my arms would be stuck even if the main rope was severed.
Next she moved onto my legs, tying them together in half a dozen places above and below my knees. A rope around my waist turned into an excruciatingly tight crotchrope, which was also tied to my arm ropes. My arms were already aching from the extreme position, but Asami wasn't even close to done. I whined and groaned in pain, but the muzzle kept all my complaints silent and unintelligible.
"Here comes the next part. How far can you bend, Kogamo?" She threaded a rope between my ankles and through the rope between my shoulders and started to pull. I knew it was coming, but there was nothing I could do to stop it at this point. It wasn't so bad at first, but with each pull, my body arched a little more. Soon my torso was pulled significantly off the table, along with my knees, causing my eyes to water with pain. "Oh, that's not bad, but I know you're much more flexible than this." She kept pulling until my feet nearly touched my outstretched elbows, then tied it off. Not quite satisfied though, she then tied another rope connecting the hogtie rope to the crotch rope, causing it to tug on it every time I struggled.
"Well, just one more thing, Kogamo." She brought out a head harness with a big panel on the front. "This doesn't have a gag on it, but it doesn't need one since it's going on top of the muzzle you're already chewing on." She smiled cruelly and started to strap it onto my head. It went under my chin and over the bridge of my nose, strapping shut on the sides of my head as well as behind. "The main reason I need the panel gag is just so I can do this." She tied a rope to the ring at the top of my head and pulled back, forcing my head back with it. She tied the other end to one of the ropes on my arms, pulling my head painfully far back.
She knelt down right in front of my sight, since I couldn't even move my head anymore, let alone the rest of my body. She brushed the hair out of my face, but I could still barely see her through tear-stained eyes. "How is it, Kogamo? Are you feeling your inferiority yet? You don't belong here and you never belonged here. You're a pest and if you want this pain to stop you can just leave at any time. Now, I just thought of a way to make this just a little worse for you."
I heard the sound of tape peeling behind me, and a whisper in my ear. "Close your eyes if you know what's good for you." I saw something come down from above my line of sight and I closed my eyes, knowing what was coming. She pressed the tape over my eyes and wrapped it around my head several times. She continued to wrap, and wrapped it over top of my mouth too, covering the lower half of my face. Finally, she wrapped it vertically under my chin and over my head a few times.
With a slap on each side of my ass, she said loudly "You have fifteen minutes to escape, and then you will be the loser. As we agreed, the loser will be forced to wear nipple rings and vibrators at all times, as controlled by the winner. I'd wish you good luck, but I think we both know you need more than luck."
I whined and groaned, but I knew it was futile. I couldn't move any part of my body, but especially my arms and hands. The tape mittens meant I had no chance to try and pick at a knot, and the hogtie had taken every last shred of my mobility away. Even if the challenge was "Move 3 inches from your current spot", I wouldn't have a chance at completing it. But the worst part was my body was starting to ache more and more with every minute. All I could do was try and block out the pain and last the fifteen minutes until I lost and could be released.
* * *
Time ticked by like I was in purgatory. Everything hurt, I couldn't move, I couldn't see, I couldn't ask for help... All I could do was hope it would finally end. Finally, I heard a voice, like a savior. "Fifteen minutes is up. You've lost." I groaned and struggled a bit, hoping to get freed finally.
I felt my neck heat up like every time a law is created. It gripped tighter and tighter onto my neck until it turned into magical rune tattoos on my neck. A few seconds later, I felt something squeeze my nipples, and two large intruders forced them inside me in between my legs. I wasn't expecting this so soon, and all I could do was try and clench up to keep it from happening. It was futile of course, they easily forced their way deeply inside me and then started to grow until they were uncomfortably large.
I heard a chuckle from next to me "Kogamo-chan. Now you can never forget your position. The laws of the crystal are unbreakable, so you will be, forever and always, just my little bitch. Now think about what you've done a little longer for me." She cranked the remote up to max, and I could hear her laughter fade into the distance. The next second, All four of the instruments in and on my body burst into motion, blasting my thoughts away with sheer pleasure.
I wasn't sure what was worse, the pain and solitude I felt during the challenge, or the non-stop sensory overload I was feeling now. I was sure I had just experienced my half-dozenth orgasm, but the stimulation from the vibrators was unceasing, and it wasn't long before I was feeling hot once more. The uncontrollable squirming and shivering I was doing was getting painful, and it felt like my bondage was getting even tighter over time. Worst of all, the tape over my eyes was making it hard for me to understand how long I had been here. I expected to be released after the challenge, but now that Asami left me like this... I had no idea how long I would be here. Was I wrong to think things were going well? Can I actually be student council president? Why did I think I could defeat Asami, who wasn't even playing the same game as me? My purgatory would continue for some time, it seemed.
