Chapter 349 349: Let's make the call
Kelly felt awkward as she stood in the middle of the hallway even after Yoko was gone. She could not bring herself to put her prey down since she had worked hard on catching it.
But at the same time, how could she wish to match the heavy tribute that had been laid out on the ground in front of Yoko? That was just not fair to her or the others.
"How long are you going to stand there for? The beast has already been cleaned off the floor. If you are done, then you should head back as well now. There is nothing for you to see here."
Sakura's words were provoking. Kelly could tell that Sakura did not like her for a reason. But she did not remember doing anything to her.
'Maybe Sakura is afraid that I will take her cousin away from her. She does have a very thick smell that coats her body and belongs to Yoko. I am certain that her relationship with Yoko is not normal.'
But then again, who was Kelly to say anything about anyone's relationship? Her family tree had been twisted generations ago to keep their bloodline 'pure.' Somehow, no genetic disorder had emerged because of this and that was a miracle.
"You cannot tell me what to do, Lady Sakura. I would advise you to keep your thoughts to yourself for the time being. I am just trying to express my gratitude to your cousin here. But I can see that I will need to try harder from here on."
Kelly admitted as she made plans to hunt more prey. It was clear that she would have to go out of her way to hunt this time. Maybe outside of their family territory as well.
'But will it be safe? I can feel that my condition is not the best right now.'
Kelly could feel the fever and the heat coming back. At this rate, retaining her sanity would not be easy.
"Ha! Do you think you can buy Yoko away with bribes? If you think so, then you do not know Yoko well. If anything, you should focus on controlling yourself because then we can head back home early."
Kelly knew that there was no point in getting triggered by what Sakura was saying. But she still felt triggered anyway. It was almost as if Sakura was belittling all the efforts Kelly put into catching her prey.
"Think what you want, Sakura. But I assure you that the one Yoko will like by the end of this week will be me. Your tyranny, I will not let it continue any longer. You are manipulating your cousin to remain single, right? What a selfish jerk you are."
Kelly was afraid that she would trigger Sakura by saying these words. But instead of looking angry, Sakura looked surprised. And then she broke down into a pearl of laughter.
"You think I-? I can make Yoko do anything. Oh, you poor delusional soul. You spent time with Yoko but you do not even know how she thinks? All I feel is pity for you."
Sakura admitted before she broke down laughing even more. Just looking at her was enough to make Kelly feel bad about herself.
That made the intense feeling inside Kelly's heart burst out more and more. It was getting difficult to hold herself back now.
'Tsk, this is annoying. No! Stop laughing at me or else I will get annoyed.'
Kelly knew that she did not have enough self-control right now. What she needed to do was to distract Sakura so that she would stop talking to her.
Or, Kelly could walk out of the hallway and find a way to get a bigger prize in the mansion. The plan for the hunt was on once more.
That was when Yoko showed up in the flesh and stood in front of Kelly. Her body emitted a weird energy and before Kelly knew it, she lost control and attacked Yoko. But her desire was not sexual or needy.
No, it was dangerous and predatory. Something in Yoko's scent had provoked Kelly's instincts and she had ended up attacking Yoko.
In return, Yoko had bound Kelly before her attack could go through. Now Kelly could not even move her arms in response.
"Tsk, are you sure you want to offend me, Kelly? I am not a forgiving person and you know that."
Yoko asked but Kelly could only growl in response. She wanted to ask for forgiveness but her mouth did not move the right way. Not that it mattered because Yoko had no intention of letting her go.
'I am sorry. I did not mean to attack you.'
That was what Kelly wanted to say. But her mouth and her body had different ideas. Her body continued to try and attack Yoko outright.
"Your condition this time is not being caused by heat or instincts. It is something else that stimulated you into attacking me, I think we need to go to the bottom of your problem this time. And I know the way to do that."
Yoko assured everyone before she dragged Kelly back to the room and knocked her out using her powers.
Everyone looked to be a little on the edge as they watched their lady be strapped down and held hostage. They all knew that it was for Kelly's good for her to be restrained and put to sleep.
"Yoko, what are you thinking of doing? In the first place, we do not even know what happened to Kelly. How do you intend to treat her?"
Sakura asked the question that was on everyone's mind. But Yoko only smiled patiently back at her.
"Well, I saved a memory extractor some time back. I think I cash in on that favor. Ehn would not mind me asking him a favor."
Yoko assured Sakura and the younger female looked surprised. She had forgotten all about Ehn and how Yoko had brought him home once he was exhausted.
The poor child had been in their care for some time now and he was flourishing.
"Ah, that child? I think we can ask him to help us out."
Sakura assured but she was more than sure that the child would help them out. The child had gotten a crush on Yoko after she had saved him and brought him home.
If Yoko asked the child for stars, then Ehn would do his best to get it for Yoko. That was how tight Yoko's grip was on that child.@@novelbin@@
'What's more? It all happened naturally. Yoko did not even have to seduce the child to make him fall for her charms. Yoko is just built like that.'
Sakura felt proud and jealous of her cousin's incredible powers. She was a victim of that as well but Sakura did not mind.
"I will call Ehn and retrieve him as well. You all can relax here now."
Yoko assured and Sakura was surprised to hear that. Usually, Yoko would have sent anyone else to receive their guests and not bothered herself.
The fact that she had decided to go out herself meant that she was restless. There was bothering Yoko right now.
"Yoko, is everything alright?"
Sakura asked but she did not have any expectation from Yoko. And as she expected, Yoko did not show that she had a problem for now.
"I do not have a problem. I just wanted to stretch my legs out a little and this was the perfect opportunity for me to do so. I'll be back soon so do not wait around for me."
Yoko assured before she picked up her phone and made a call. Sakura's sharp senses could hear that puppy-like excited voice coming from the other end of the phone.
As she had said before, Ehn had a small crush on her cousin and he would do anything she asked him to do. (With-in reasons)

Once the call was cut, Yoko turned toward the guards and gave them a commanding look.
"Take me to the front gate right now. I will wait for Ehn there and return with him."
The guard had gotten used to Yoko's authority over time and they no longer felt awkward in front of her. They quickly turned around and did as they were asked. Sakura watched it all happen with a heavy heart.
She had no idea why, but everything about this situation felt annoying to her. It was as if something big was about to happen but she had no idea what it could be.
"Yoko, something is weird. I do not have the best feeling about our situation."
Sakura spoke her feelings out loud. But Yoko remained unbothered by her concern.
"I am sure that everything will be alright Sakura. What you are feeling might be a byproduct of your consciousness trying to warn you about something. But if I am here, nothing will be able to harm you."
Sakura tried to calm down a little bit. But it just made the feeling inside worsen. She was sure that she was concerned about Yoko now.
But she did not want to make Yoko alarmed by her useless worry so she just smiled briefly.
"Hmm, you might be right. There is no need for me to worry about useless things. I am sure things will be alright."
In retrospect, Sakura should work on trusting her instincts more. But at this moment, she chose to trust her head over her heart. And that might be what caused the future to roll out of control.
