"But why would you want to help her? She has done some very bad things to me and..." Nathan complained.

"For the last time, Nathan. I did it to help myself as much as her. Shit, I'm hungry," I said as we reached the base of the mountain. "Hey, how did you guys know I was up there, anyway?"

"When your link thing broke with Nathan, he came running to us saying he thought you died or something," Gordon said with a grin. "When we couldn't find you, we went to Grandfather and found out you were up there with Lea."

"Grandfather wouldn't let us go up there until after our shift," Jonas added.

"Not that Nathan got much done in his shift," Gordon teased.

"I worried very much," Nathan admitted without looking at me. "I do not wish to find another partner."

"Sssshhhiiit," I said before hooking my arm around his neck and saying, "Same here, amigo. Mucho gracias for trying to come to my rescue."

Nathan gave me an embarrassed glance before smiling and saying, "Next time I shall not be so forgiving."

I let him go and gave him a friendly shove which he immediately returned. I shoved him again, knocking him into Jonas, who shoved him back towards me. After three or four more shoves, Nathan got tired of being the pinball and took off running. We chased him around the town until he surrendered, then he let us carry him above our heads like a trophy all the way to the slut house.

We split up to go to our rooms, and the reception I received from Nana and Sakura when I went into mine almost made me forget how hungry I was.

"I missed you sooo much, master," Sakura said hugging me while Nana went to prepare dinner.

I lifted her up and carried her to the bed, then carefully laid her down on her back and crawled up to her face.

"Sakura, I want you to do me a big favor. Something that probably goes against everything you've been taught to believe, but would mean a lot to me."

"What is it, master?" she said innocently.

"I would really like you to call me Joey instead of master when we're alone or when Nana is with us. Do you think you can do that for me?"

Her face paled, and for a moment I thought she was going to cry when her lower lip started quivering and her eyes filled up with tears. But my concerned and loving expression made her realize I wasn't rejecting her, and then what I was truly asking her must have suddenly sunk in.

When I saw the acceptance in her eyes, I smiled, then received the biggest hug I could ever imagine from a girl only thirteen.

"I love you, Ja-Ja-Joey," she said experimentally, soft enough that only I could hear.

"I love you too, Sakura," I said with emotion.

She relaxed her hug and gently pushed me up so she could see my face. When she saw the wetness around my eyes, she smiled before her own eyes formed more tears which I gently wiped away.

I knew from the expression she wore that she was about to try and kiss me, and sure enough she suddenly started rising up to do so, but then stopped and laid back down.

"What's wrong, Sakura?" I said confused. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No, ma.. Ja-Joey," she said nervously. "I... You didn't say.."

"Sakura, look me in the eyes and do what you what you want from what you feel. I don't have to give you permission. You'll know it if I don't want something, okay?"

Her eyes were looking deeply into mine the moment I spoke it, then when I saw her hesitating still, I simply moved forward and kissed her myself.

It took a couple of kisses before she let herself act freely, letting go of her little slave girl self and embracing the young woman instincts we had worked so hard to control.

I was too hungry to do anything beyond kissing, and after we had our fill of that, I got up and checked on dinner while Sakura stayed on the bed with a fresh lover's glow.

Shit, I was hungry. I had two servings of everything, then was so full I just laid down next to Sakura on the bed and relaxed instead of helping Nana clean up the mess.

I was surprised when I realized I had dozed off, for I had practically slept the whole day already. Sakura was curled up against me asleep, but Nana was wide awake watching us from the foot of the bed.

"I'm sorry for waking you, master, but you said you wished to shower before going to bed," she said after a moment.

"I guess I did, didn't I," I said, knowing I hadn't that day, but many days in the past.

I carefully got out of bed without waking Sakura, then followed Nana to the bathroom, stripping my shirt and shorts off as I went.

I helped Nana remove her T-shirt and panties which I had made the girls' official outfit during the day, then surprised her in an embrace just as she turned to turn on the water.

"You know what?" I said tenderly.

"No, master, I do not," she said openly pleased.

"I think you're just a bit jealous of Sakura," I said after a light kiss on the lips.

"Yes, master, I am."

I hesitated from the shock of her frankness, but then gave her a generous kiss before letting her go and turning the water on myself.

"Master?" she said uncertainly when I didn't resume the embrace we had been in right away.

"What is it, Nana? Tell me what you want. What you want and not what you think I want," I said firmly standing before her without letting us touch.

She opened her mouth but couldn't quite find the words.

I reached out and caressed the face that resembled my beloved Suzi's, but finding in my heart that everything about Nana was just the opposite from Suzi on the inside.

Without needing to say anything, we simply got into the shower and washed each other lovingly before I fucked her cunt like the sex slave she was. Nana didn't want things like the privilege of calling me Joey or initiating the kiss first. Benjamin made her desire nothing but pleasing her master in every way, and had felt she had been failing to do that from seeing all attention I had been giving Sakura that day and in the past.

As Nana finished sucking my seed out of my shaft, I finished exploring her mind, finding nothing about the three years she had spent with Benjamin, no trace whatsoever in fact. There wasn't a hole in her memories, for according to them she had been my slave for that period of time. I was really impressed. Not only did Nana speak perfect English which before she only knew a few words of, but her memories of her enslavement and training were just as I would have probably have done it if I had really been doing it back then.

So from that moment on, I stopped comparing her to Suzi and accepted Nana as what she was. She was my servant, my sex toy, my slave, and I would use her as I sought fit knowing she would only be unhappy if I didn't.

As she was drying me off, I explained to her that I had no intention of enslaving Sakura, something which I hadn't really realized myself until I spoke the words.

Nana accepted my wishes and promised not to be troubled over what I did with Sakura anymore, then to prove she meant it, she insisted she sleep on the couch that night which I didn't allow.

Sakura was awake when we returned to the bed, then as I cuddled with her and Nana both, I tried to rationalize how I felt.

Lea's words, "... he needs you to live your life as best as you know how," kept popping into my head, and it troubled me thinking I was doing what I thought Tim would want instead of what I wanted myself.

But then Sakura lips attached themselves to my left nipple as she laid on top of me part ways, and it just seemed to hit me that I was doing what I wanted. I just hadn't allowed myself to do it until now.

Watching Sakura make oral love to my chest brought my true feelings for her out again, and the concept that her feelings for me would be used to make her into someone's toy gripped my heart and started squeeze.

My exact thoughts were, "I can't let that happen to her. I just can't let my little girl be enslaved. We have to get away from here... We have to leave this God forsaken place. Shit, what about Nathan? I can't just leave him without trying to explain. Shit, what a fucking mess."

At that point Sakura climbed on top of me, and after a few deep and passionate kisses, she looked me in the eyes as she prepared to mount me.

When I didn't object, she worked my girth into her young cunt, and I could tell she was pleased that it didn't hurt a bit this time.

While Sakura rested a moment with her eyes closed, I looked over at Nana and saw she was for the most part content after already getting hers in the shower. I reached over to her right breast and gave it a healthy tweak, sending waves of pleasure through her body with my magic fingers doing their thing.

Sakura was momentarily distracted by Nana's gasps and wiggles, but quickly returned her attention to her own pleasure from feeling my dick pulse within her stuffed cunt. I loved the way her mouth formed an O whenever she pushed herself back down onto my cock in her slow but steady humps. She lasted a lot longer than she had in the past, probably from building better muscles in the legs from her previous fuckings.

I really was enjoying her tight cunt fucking me like that, and was kind of glad that she had to stop and rest a few times just so my urge to cum would go down. She tried her best at bringing herself and me to orgasm, but after four tries, she gave up and just sucked my chest some more while squeezing her pussy muscles around my dick to keep me hard.

Finally in a surge of frustration, she said, "Could you fuck me master?"

I hesitated a moment before realizing calling me master had just been a slip of the tongue, then rolled us over and started the humping motion.

I went as slow as I could for as long as I could, but when I experimented in going faster, she came, hard. When she didn't object to me continuing, I fucked her a little faster, and ended up having her orgasm twice more before spurting my load onto her chest and collapsing on top of her.

I rolled us over when she wiggled uncomfortably, then laid there a while basking in the moment before realizing she had fallen asleep with my cock still inside her.

I spent most of the night thinking how I could get the three of us out of there without getting caught, and also trying to figure out how to break it to Nathan without him somehow giving us away. I dozed off a few times, and at one point Sakura rolled off me without waking me, for when I did awaken, I found her laying between Nana and I with one leg still entwined with mine.

I'll always remember watching them sleep beside me while the sun began lightening the room. I would lose myself in my thoughts, but every few minutes I would take another look at how far the shadows had moved across their naked bodies. Once, Sakura woke while I was studying her, but went back to sleep after giving me a hug.

Nana awoke at her regularly scheduled time, giving me a smile from finding Sakura's arms still around me. She dutifully got up and got dressed before preparing breakfast, then was patiently waiting for me to finish eating for our morning shower and fuck.

Sakura was clinging to me the entire morning, insisting she join us in the shower and promising she only wanted to watch. Nana was a bit upset about this until she saw I was delighted that Sakura was speaking her mind, then simply accepted it as the way it was going to be.

Nana and I went through our normal routine, then we both washed Sakura before getting out. I was being dried off by the pair of them when Sakura suddenly sighed and quit, then when I asked what was wrong, she admitted she had hoped to watch me fuck her in the ass.

I saw right though her. Despite everything we had been doing the past twelve or so hours, Sakura was still driven by the desire to complete her training. She hoped I would take her other cherry soon, but couldn't bear to ask me after all the loving we had been doing.

After trying to talk her out of it, I loosened her up as much as I could before putting it in, then ended up blocking the pain when she couldn't stand it very long.

Sakura was all too pleased to go with me to walk around the town. What I actually was doing was looking for a way out that wouldn't be detected, but it became pretty clear to me our only hope was walking out the front entrance.

We stopped by the pit and chatted a while, Gordon and Jonas having joined Nathan in a gang bang with Hye and were getting cleaned up when we arrived.

I was really starting to feel guilty about planning to leave without him, but seeing how well Nathan was getting on with our peers reinforced my guess that he'd want to stay. This was his home, the only home he's known for years, and now that he fit in and made peace with the rest, I couldn't imagine him leaving it just to go with me.

And to be honest, taking him with me would jeopardize our chances of getting away. While I could be gone for a day or two without being missed, they would be searching for Nathan before lunchtime if he didn't show up at the pit one day, and the first person they'd want to talk to would be me.

It took me until that Thursday to work out all the details for our escape, yet I still had no idea how to break it to Nathan and just decided to get it over with.

I waited until I figured Nathan would be getting ready for bed, figuring if anything went wrong and he tried to stop me, I could put him to sleep and then have that night and part of the next day before anyone would start looking for us.

He was already in bed when I knocked, but was just enjoying his sister's mouth on his cock before calling it a day.

"What is wrong, amigo?" he asked when he saw the stress on my face. "Has Sakura..."

"She's fine. In fact she better than fine. That's why... Shit, Nathan," I sighed, sitting down on the bed beside him. "I want you to know that you're the best... partner I could ever have, and I've more fun with you than I've had in a long time."

"Si, I feel the same way," Nathan grunted. "You have given me so much, amigo. I could never begin to repay you..."

"Shit, you gave me just as much as I gave you. At least you had voice before I came along. We helped each other equally, you know?"

"I still feel mucho gratitude for you picking me to be your partner," he said honestly.

"Well, the others were being jerks to me just like they were to you, just weren't being as obvious about it. You were the only choice, amigo. I'd make the same choice again."

"I'm am very happy to hear that. For the past few days I felt as if you were upset with me. You seem very tense when around me. Why is this?"

"Shit. Yeah, you're right. It's because I... Shit, I don't know how else to say it but to say it... Uhm..."

"Then say it," he said, getting a bit tense himself.

I looked him in the eyes and said, "I'm leaving. I'm taking Nana and Sakura back to the states with me, but I couldn't go without telling you."

"When?" he said softly after the color returned to his face.

"Tonight," I simply said, now avoiding his eyes.

"Do you know what would happen to you if Grandfather catches you?"

"Yeah, I know. I'd probably forget my name and everything..."

"May I ask why you want to leave?"

"There's lots of reasons, I guess. But one of the biggest is to get Sakura away from here so she can grow up like a normal person and not as a slave. I can't bear thinking..."

"I will get my things..." Nathan sighed. "I trust you have a plan on getting outside?"

"Huh? Yeah, I do. What do you mean you're getting your things? You're not really going to..."

"I can not let my best amigo wander around my country and get caught watching a sunrise," he said matter of fact like as he got out his pack from our two week excursion and started selecting clothes to take.

When I was too shocked to reply, he turned around and said, "And without you to protect my secrets, I would also not know my name by the end of the week."

"Shit," I finally said, realizing my mistake. "I'm sorry Nathan. I didn't think about them finding out you knew before I left. But what if I..."

He walked over to me, put his hands on my shoulders, looked me square in the eyes and said, "You wish to leave, then I wish to leave. You wish to stay, then I wish to stay. I owe Grandfather nothing now that you have shown me what I can do. He did not give me the one thing I desired, and that was respect. You did. Now the others respect me, and yes I will miss them and the pit, but we are partners. We shall have these other things no matter where we go together."

All I could do was smile and nod, but when he released my shoulders to go finish packing, I was overwhelmed by my feelings and grabbed him and hugged him.

At first he resisted, but he relaxed a moment later and gingerly returned the hug. I probably would have done anything he asked of me right then. That's how touched I was by his... loyalty? I guess that's what it seemed to me at the time. Now I believe he didn't wish to lose the power the share link gave him as much as any feelings of loyalty he had towards me.

I was surprised when he considered out loud whether or not to take his sister with him, but I insisted he should otherwise he may never see her again.

Two hours later, the five of us were outside waiting for a guard with a dog to move on before we tried to slip through the front gate.

While we waited, Nathan nudged me and said telepathically, "Promise me this one thing before I risk all I am for your sense of honor."

"What's that?" I thought back to him while concentrating on the situation at hand.

"If when we get to your homeland you make up with your girlfriend, you suggest to her we have a... double penetration?"

That got my full attention, but when I saw the wicked smile on his face, I had to muffle my chuckle so the dog wouldn't hear.

Just as I finished giving Nathan a friendly punch for making me laugh, the guard left his post to go pee. This was exactly the break I was waiting for.

While the guard was pissing down into a drainage ditch and the dog was waiting its turn to do the same, we snuck past the first check point and were out of sight by the time they were done.

The next obstacle was an electronic alarm which was very similar to the one my parents had installed after recovering from Steven's brainwashing. I had the door to the maintenance access crawlway open in less than a minute, then spent nearly a half an hour having cussing fits while trying to unbolt another access door whose bolts had been wielded shut.

I almost called the whole thing off at that point, but luckily Nathan spotted another one further down the spider web filled crawlway, and after three tries it opened up into another crawlway branching away from the one we were in.

Unfortunately it was a bit muddy, but there was another access door that while it didn't lead out to the same place, it at least opened for us and we were closer to getting away than before.

You see, the crawlways were within the fortified wall, and while there was no way to get out that way, it did provide us with needed cover to get past a lot of security. I had to scout around in the dark a little to figure out where we were, then we carefully made our way to the last door between us and the main entrance.

It took me a little longer to open that door, for the lock on it was a lot more complicated and I wasn't all that experienced in lock picking. At least the alarm was as easy as the first one, and after ten minutes of sweating it, I had the door open.

As we walked down the tunnel like entrance, Nathan slapped me on the back and grinned at me for he knew as well as I that there were no guards or other detection devices beyond lookouts watching the entrance, and I was already taking care of the lookouts at that time.

But then just as Nathan reached the end of the passage, he froze. I nearly bumped into him before noticing, and was about to make a joke of it when I saw his face was blank.

I knew that expression all too well, and was in the middle of saying "Oh Shit," when two figures stepped around the corner ahead of us. I felt a familiar tingling before I imagine my face went blank as well.
