Luna Leviosa

"How are they doing?" asked Marx with a smirk, as he sat with his legs crossed.
"Not very well I'm afraid..." answered Tohru, standing over the two girls. He playfully kicked at Nanami who whimpered in blind pain. "Poor kittens...look at them squirming..."
"What's happening to them!?" Shizuka was about to run to Rika's side, only to be stopped by the Twins who hissed.
"Let them be" they chorused cruelly. "This is just what they deserve"
"But, but what is...?" Shizuka stared emptilly at Rika's eyes which were widened and frozen.
"...Oh, excuse our rudeness" said Tohru who bowed to her handsomely. Though he was like a courteous gentleman there was still a sadistic spark in his eyes. There was a chill about him as he proudly explained the candy's properties. "You see my dear, these are called Nightmare Pills, cleverly concealed as syrupy jellybeans; they're sometimes used in the Demon World as a sort of, how do you say...a sweeter punishment..."
"It's only been recently used in the Court of Suffering, but it's grown in popularity because it emphasizes attack on the senses instead of hurting them physically" added Marx. "I mean you could go old school and just rape the living daylights out of them"
"We don't want to" pouted the Twins turning away in disgust. "That's why we let their nightmares do it"
"Their...nightmares??" Shizuka looked to Rina who was moaning uncontrollably.
"Yes...and they come in different fears, or should I say flavors...." Marx chuckled at the ease of it all. "Just think, no need for messy tools, or blood all over the floor...as long as you know your victims weaknesses, the candy will simply do the rest"
"I imagine you chose the Cinnamon Rape Candy just to fit the occasion" Trax added with a knowing smirk.
"Yes I did" Marx chuckled. "There's Chocolate Despair and Lemon Loneliness...but this is just us being lazy I suppose"
"On the bright side, I'm sure that the Court of Suffering would be proud to hear that their tools are being used in the human world too" said Kyo with a nod.
"But..." Shizuka bit her lip in silent horror. "I can't...." She was terrified.
"What do you mean, you can't?" for the first time in a while, Marx seemed slightly offended at Shizuka herself. "We are demons afterall, this is just how we do things"
"Indeed" Tohru nodded. "Its a simple equation really and that's how things are..."
"You don't seem very happy..." echoed the Twins, but it was hard to tell whether they said it out of concern or not.
"..........." There was a frozen silence that was only pierced by Nanami and Rika's suffering moans.
"Hehehehe...." the men were laughing quietly to themselves.


"I wonder what she is seeing..."


"It must be...deep.."


"Quite..."

"Must be having a great time in there..." Marx whistled cruelly. "They'll never be the same after this..."
"P-p-p" Shizuka stammered. She nervously formed her words as never before was she so scared to speak to him. Not since that first night. "P-p-please....d-d-don't..." The girl's body twisted like mad, it was almost too much for poor Shizuka herself. It seemed like an invisible puppet master was toying with the girl's body, torturing them like amusing playthings.
"What are you talking about Shizuka babe? Anyone who does that to you deserve nothing less" Marx said this last line with a hiss.
Shizuka was about to swallow her fear inwards, not wanting to annoy Marx any further. But this went out the window when she saw Rika almost howl in severe pain. Nami was not much better as whatever she was seeing was leaving her in a puddle of urine and God-knew-what-else. They were almost swollen at this point, something horrible was definitely inside of them and Shizuka knew that if she didn't run out of the room as fast as she did she would have vomited all over the dance floor.


Most disgusting of all, was how Marx and the others seemed to take delight at the sight. For them it was entertainment.

She didn't have the heart to say (stutter) anymore.


She turned to her heels ignoring the chorus of surprise from behind. Shizuka almost trampled down the staircase and into the cold streets outside.

~~~~~~~

The streets were just as they were when Shizuka first started coming to this place. Suspicious characters shuffling back and forth to their business and flying trash that resembled almost birds at this point. Shizuka turned a couple of unknown corners, hoping to bump into a friendlier street walk somewhere.
"Horrible, horrible, horrible" was the only words circling her head. "Horrible horrible horr-" She paused at a sleepy looking tea house lit up by lazy paper lamps that hung outside almost as an after thought. The outside of the establishment was painted in dizzying bright colors of pink and yellow. And it was still open for business. Thinking it was a place that Marx and the boys wouldn't be caught dead in, she looked about just to make sure she wasn't being followed and entered.
There was a small twinkle of bells as she entered and Shizuka thought she stepped into a completely different world. There were folksy songs humming along a radio speaker that blared it to all four corners of the cafe. The tables were pastel white with pink checker table cloth and strange little art pieces sitting at the center of each table. All around were shelves and shelves of tea sets, towering tea cups stacked haphazardly and proud shining tea pots ready to be used. Shizuka just barely scanned the front counter (which also had a display of sweets and candies) when she heard a voice from behind it. "Just a minuuute~" it was a female voice, and one like that of honey. Shizuka almost jumped back when she realized two protruding white rabbit ears from behind the counter seemed to be occupied in thought. "I thought it was heeeeere" The figure finally rose to her full height. For some reason she was rather tall. And not just because of her high heels. The girl seemed only slightly older than Shizuka perhaps in her early twenties she had long ruby hair and deep eyes of violet. Her clothes could only be described a deep magenta ensemble of lolita and cosplay. (if such a thing should ever be conceived) Her dress was of frills and lace but the fact that her small top hat sat among rabbit ears and her rear ribbon had a large puffball tail made it look very much like cosplay. "Can I help yoouuuu?"
"Um....is this...a tea cafe?" Shizuka nervously questioned. The girls' face looked sleepy.
"Yeeeees" she replied with a wobble of her head. Her violet eyes only seemed half awake.
"Oh...um...." Shizuka looked even more nervous as the girl tilted her head in wonder. "I'll have-"
"You're not from around heeeeere......neh?" the rabbit girl said.
"EH!? Er...I'm...." Shizuka had to think about it. "...not"
"Ooooohhh....." The rabbit girl turned behind her to some water heaters. ".......eeeehhh...Earl Greeeyyyy?"
"Y-yes please" Shizuka couldn't do anything else but plop into an open seat.
"It will be one momeeeeeent..." the girl announced rather quietly as she started to put Shizuka's order together.
"H-how did you know I like Earl Grey tea?" Shizuka asked as she couldn't think of anything else to talk about to her.
"Marx told meeeeeee" she said simply. As she was emptying leaves into a strainer used for a teapot. "He says you love drinking tea, particularly Earl Greeeeeyyy"
"Oh he did he?" Shizuka giggled, until she realized that there should be something else she should be asking about. "Wait-how do you know him?"
The girl giggled this time. "Oh silly-willy, everyone who's anyone in this part of town knows hiiiiiiiim"
"R-really?" Shizuka stammered. She watched as hot water was spurted out of the heater and into a waiting tea pot filled with leaves.
"Yes..." She arranged them along a neat tray. The teapot, teacup, an additional pot of sugar and another of cream. "Almost readyyyyyyy..." the girl trotted over to Shizuka's table and placed the tray down in front of her. "For you I pick this oooooone."
The set was a darling pink ensemble and Shizuka noticed it suspiciously resembled her dress that she wore on her first visit to Luna Leviosa. It was dotted with white spots that looked candy and Shizuka had to admit, she couldn't wait for that tea. "It's...cute" Shizuka bowed her head neatly as the girl proceeded to pour the steaming black tea for her. Another thing that struck Shizuka was the fact that the girl seemed to know how much sugar she preferred, as she didn't ask when she proceeded to plop the sugar in neat spoonfuls. "Ummm....how did you know that I like two and a half spoons of sugar? Did Marx tell you that too?"
"He diiiiiiiiiiid" the girl grinned, this time showing teeth. As she did, Shizuka almost jumped from her chair as her teeth seemed a bit razor sharp. "Tee-heeeee, perhaps I should stop being ruuuuuuude and cut to the chaaaaaaaaaaase" Even as she said this, she turned about briefly to her counter. She returned with another smaller tray of assorted treats. Shizuka recognized the little bon-bons and chocolate syrup bottles.


To her horror, the familiar red jelly beans were there too.

They lay in a small candy bowl, glaring up at her.

The girl giggled as she saw how pale Shizuka became. "My naaaaaaaaaaame...." she went extra slow this time and her voice went a couple of notes lower. "is Raaaabiiiiiiiiit"
"I've heard...of you..." Shizuka gulped, shrinking back. Now she wondered why she never asked any of the other men about her. "They......"
"Buuuuuy stuff from meeeeeeeee" said Rabbit fluffing her hair and plopping down into a chair across her. "It's niiiiiice.....I liiiiike moneeeeyyy"
Shizuka didn't have the heart to drink the earl grey tea anymore as it sat steaming under her. She was considering making a dash for the door, but was afraid that her leaving might trigger something else. "Don't gooooooooooo, at leeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaast drink your teeeeeeeaaaaa fiiiiiiirst...."
"Y-yes mame" Shizuka quivered, taking hold of her cup while trying her best not to make it spill over. Thankfully the tea was really just delicious earl grey. Despite this Shizuka was still on edge as Rabbit's eyes were eerily large. She watched Shizuka drink the tea with such fascination that Shizuka turned pink. "Wh-why does Marx buy from you?"
"Everyone in thiiiiiiiiis area of the countryyyyyyyyy does....." said Rabbit still in her lower voice, and her eyes wide as saucers. "For youuuuu seeeeeeeeeeeeeee....." she paused, taking one of the bon-bons and gobbling in an instant. Though Shizuka was holding her breath, nothing could have prepared her for what Rabbit told her next.

"Heeeeeee is a Prince of Helllllllll and Iiiiii'm a merchant from Helllllllll......it's only naturaaaaalll that weeeeeeeee do busineeeeeess" Rabbit's eyes were not only large now but dark. "Iiiiii'm verrrrrryyyyy fleeeeeexibllllle....almooooooosst anyyyyyyy currency will doooooo....or anyyyyyy item of vallllluuuuuuueeeeee" Rabbit's shark grin was really wide when she said this. "Caaaash....Crediiiiit.....Gooooollld....Silllver....Loyaaalllty...deeeaath.....hummmman soullls arrree vallluablllee in Helllllll"

Shizuka was too scared to even faint.
