  “Lady Nakatoma Maiha, we are your personal ladies maids. You know that we do not talk of what we hear when in your presentence. You can tell us anything and it will never, I repeat never leave the confines of your chambers.” Nia said with some heat, she almost growled it.

  “Ok, I trust you, but please understand that if what I tell you gets out we could all be in a world of trouble.” When they saw the look on my face they quickly promised never to tell a soul. Before I began I step out the bath and start to dry off. “First of all, how much do you girls know about AP Suits?” Their blank looks told all I needed to know. “For starters, all Power Suits have an AI in them. You remember how I told you about my armor and my two AIs?” this time they nodded their heads yes. By this time we had moved to the changing and dressing area. Looking around I could see that the engineers have done wonders with the repairs. My bedroom still needs work though. As my maids began to help dress me for the rest of the day I tell them about Vicky, her sisters, and big bother Snow Mountain Guardian. “Well last night after I set up my mama and sisters with the nanites to become like me. I didn’t realize that the bio-feedback pilot suits they were wearing would transfer the nanites to the AP Suits. The longer they were in harness the more the nanites went back and forth.” When they heard this it was like a light came on for each of them.

  “Lady Maiha, do you mean to tell us that your whole family have all become Death Dealers such as yourself?” asked Kina.

  “What about the Lady Dai Etsu, is she one too? Because if she is then she will have to leave the Temple.” Gin asked of me in worried tone.

  “Yes please tell us if she is. I know that it is not our place to question your motives, but this could destroy her. The Temple is all she has ever had in her life.” This from Nia.

  “She was looking at having to leave the Temple because of me saving her life anyway.”

  “Lady Maiha, what on earth are you talking about?” Gin asked of me.

  “Yesterday, when the LEOs attacked us in town she was hit in the chest. To save her life I injected her with a full set of medical nanites. By the time they were done she became about forty to fifty years younger and a total MILF hottie. With all of that tech running through her she couldn’t stay with the Temple. And the she has more than just the Temple now.”

  “What does she have? I have been in the service of her ladyship for almost forty years and outside of the Temple she has nothing else.” Gin was so positive that she was right it was almost fanatical.

  Smiling I ask them “Did you see the armor plates of the Highlander that she was piloting?” When they looked at each other, and then nod their heads I continued. “Well how do you think they got damaged?” at their blank looks I could tell they weren’t making the connection. “She was the one piloting it when it received all of that damage.” When they still didn’t get it; I almost screamed at them. “She now has a whole family to protect and guide. Don’t you three get it? She now has a family and an APS lance to lead.”

  “You mean that she was the pilot of that APS when it was attacked?” asked Kina.

  “As a very good friend of mine would say ‘you got it in one.’ Yes my mama has taken to her new role as the leader for our family’s personal military unit quickly and well. Not to mention with a fierce determination to bring down those who have betrayed our House and the people of Hades.” I could tell that they weren’t completely convinced of what I was telling them. But then again I don’t think they recognized mama in the hanger. I mean she does look to be only in her mid to late twenties. That and the fact she climbed out of the cockpit of a one hundred ton war machine. Not something you would expect to see the Reverend Mother of a Temple doing. “Trust me ladies that twenty something young lady was none other than the Grand Lady Nakatoma Dai Etsu. I know she definitely doesn’t look like herself any more, but it was her. If you don’t believe me just help me finish getting dressed, and then we’ll all head over to her rooms. Oh and Gin mama said I need to practice my walk so the five inch geta if you please.”

  The look on their faces was priceless. The fact that I had asked for those hated things was enough to cause major realignment of the stars in their eyes. Then again I figure if I put them on without a fight I just might get out of them sooner rather than later.

  Once I was dressed I headed out to see how my family was doing. I found the twins busy setting up their room just down the hall from my own rooms. Nanase saw me first. “Hi sissy. Have you seen how big our room is?” the smile on her face was all I needed to see to know that she was going to be fine. “Nanami, Maiha is here to see us!” she yelled out, I swear that girl has the lungs of an elephant. Nanami stepped out of the changing area with a smile on her face. Yes my baby sisters were going to be just fine.

  “I see that you two are settling in just fine. Do you have everything or do you need to make a run into town?” I figured that if there were any problems my question just might bring them out. However from the looks on their faces and their answers they just might be alright.

  “Nope, we’re good sissy. Ain’t we Nanase?”

  “Sure are. We could use a hand in moving our stuff from the old house to up here though.” Commented Nanase to me and my maids.

  “Gin aren’t they supposed to have a pair of a maids assigned to them?”

  Gin got a very strange look on her face for a minute before turning to Kina. “Kina, do you know who was supposed to be the ladies maids for lady Maiha’s younger sisters?”

  “No. I thought that you were supposed to handle that. I’ll go find Geta, and ask her. I’ll be right back, my lady.” With a quick bow to Gin and the rest of us, Kina took off to go find the Household Head Maid.

  “Um… sissy, are we going to have ladies maids like you?” Nanami asked in a very shy voice. I could tell that she had not thought about having a maid nor had her sister from the looks of it.

  “Well, yes. Hey if I have to put up with them, then so do you. Besides it’s not all that bad.” I let her know. For some reason all the color drains from Nanase’s face. It is as if having a personal maid might be a problem for them. “Ladies if you’ll please excuse us for a few minutes.”

  “My lady you know that you can trust us not to talk.” Began Gin, but I cut her off with a flat no nonsense command.

  “I said leave us. What did you not understand, Gin?” I watched as she quickly understood that it was not me who needed the privacy, but my sisters.

  “We will be just outside the door if you need us.” And with a bow both she and Nia let us alone. Turning to look at Nanase I walk over to her and pull her into a hug.

  “Ok you two; it’s time for you to tell me what it is you’re hiding.” I tell them. “I can’t help if I don’t know. Now why don’t you two want the ladies maids?”

  “What do mean sissy? We’re not hiding anything. Ain’t that right Nanase?” demanded Nanami.

  “Nanami, you need to quit lying to me. I saw how frightened Nanase became when I mentioned the ladies maids. Please, now tell me what the problem is.”

  Trembling Nanase looks up at me with tears in her eyes. “Please, don’t make me. I know that you’ll just hate me.” I can tell that whatever it is it’s big. However I need to know what it is so I can help her.

  “Baby girl, listen to me. I know you’re scared, but I can’t help if I don’t know what the problem is. I promise I will not hate you. Nothing you do will ever make me hate you. Now what is your problem?”

  She’s trembling so hard that if I let go of her she’ll fly apart. I can feel the tears falling on my chest. I was expecting her to say something, but it was Nanami who spoke up for her sister. “Please understand sissy, we didn’t mean to deceive you.” She too started to cry. “Both of us have both boy and girl parts. We’re freaks of nature. That was why our parents sent us to the Temple school instead of the one in town.”

  Now of all the things she could’ve told me that was the furthest from my mind. I mean I saw them in the troop showe
rs in town. “Um… how do you… you know… um hide your… well your…” thankfully Nanase gives me my out as she understands what I need to know.

  “We can pull them up inside of our lower bodies. The doctors said that we’re intersexed or a something like that. Our mother said we’re what are known as hermaphrodites.”

  “Is that all? Listen up you two. I don’t care if you’re pink with purple polka dots. You’re my baby sisters, and nobody is ever going to hurt you without dealing with me first.” When they were both looking up at me. “I mean that. Now as for the ladies maids, please understand that no matter what you do, say, or what they see or hear it will never go beyond them.” at their blank looks I explained about ladies maids. Over next ten to fifteen minutes I told how a ladies maid is one of the most trusted of people they will ever meet. “So you see, you can trust them not to give away your secrets. As for you calling yourselves freaks I don’t want to ever hear that again. You’re not freaks. If anyone around here is the freak it’s me. Now dry your eyes because you need to meet your new ladies maids.” Shooing them into the bathroom to get cleaned up, I head over and open the door to let in our maids.

  When I open the door I find my three maids, and what looks like a six pack of maids. “Um… Gin I thought that there would only be one or two for my sisters not six.”

  “Oh my lady, they are not all here for just your little sisters. Only four of them will work for and with your youngest sisters. The other two are for your sister Fuyuko.” Kina tells me.

  “Oh, that makes sense. Gin would you go get Fuyuko for me?” she just nods her head and takes off. “If you’ll please come in ladies?”

  Once all of them are in my sister’s room I have them wait in the receiving area and go get them out of the bathroom. By the time we get back Gin has returned with Fuyuko. “Ok little sisters I would like for you all to meet your new ladies maids. Now there is one thing you will need to know. That outside of the dressing you are the one in charge, but from the door to the dressing room going forward they’re in charge. Trust me little sisters on this point. You do not argue with them in that area. Not if you know what’s good for you.” To emphasize my point I rub my backside. “I believe they all get trained the fine art of the hairbrush.”

  “Speaking of which, my lady; your mother said something about your use of foul language.” When I looked over at Kina she had my hairbrush in her hand and the look of someone ready to do battle. Oh shit, I think I’m about to become the object lesson for the day.

  Chapter 13

  Being a Lady of Death 101

  “Now wait one minute here, ladies. First of all we are not in my rooms. Secondly, I’m already dressed so I have no need to get changed. So you’re just going to have to put that hair brush away.” I told them rather smugly. I thought I had covered all the bases. Boy was I wrong, as I was about to find out.

  “Oh, there is no need for you to change, my Lady. We just need to take care of that foul mouth you seem to have outside of combat situations.” Kina smiled in a very smug way.

  The looks on the faces of my maids as well as the others tells me I have made a fatal miscalculation. What that was I hadn’t figured out yet. “How may I ask do you figure that, ladies? If I remember correctly I said that I would follow your orders in my rooms and submit to your orders there. From what I can tell we are in my sisters rooms.”

  “Oh that is correct, my Lady; but until your rooms are repaired you don’t have any private rooms.” Gin told me. “So until then we will just have to make do by using your sister’s.”

  “Dee De, are you going to fight me on this when I try to use my armor?”

  I hate to tell you this hon, but they have you backed into a corner. Also this is not a military situation so Charley can’t help either. (Dee De)

  I’m afraid she is correct Commander. (Charley)

  “Are the two of you telling me that I’ve got to get my ass tanned here?”

  ………. (Dee De)

  ……… (Charley)

  “I ASKED YOU TWO A QUESTION!” I scream at my two most trusted advisors in a panic. When the two of them don’t answer me, I realize that I’m on my own. Taking a quick head count I realize that the odds are three to one. With the one being a Death Dealer it was more like a baby trying to stand up to a full grown adult. With a smile starting to form on my face Dee De quickly shows me a different set of odds. These are nine to one. “Dee De where did you get nine to one?”

  You forgot the other six maids, hon. (Dee De)

  “They wouldn’t get involved. This is between me and my maids, not me and all the maids.”

  That is a miscalculation of the situation, Commander. This is not just between you and your maids. This is a show of force by the maids to instruct your younger sisters in the fact that inside of their rooms that the maids are in charge, not them. (Charley)

  “So you’re telling me that I either let them tan my backside or my sisters are going to think that they can just abuse their maids?”

  I believe that is the lesson your mama wants to impart to your sisters. (Charley)

  “What; that their maids have the final say inside of their rooms?”

  You got it in one hon. You have to remember that in a few weeks that all four of you will be attending a private all-girls school. Where corporal punishment is still used, this just might be a lesson for you as well in remembering that you won’t be in charge there? (Dee De)

  Damned when they laid it all out like that I knew I couldn’t fight back. I knew that I would need to take one for the team as it were. If I were to show my sisters how easy it would be to use their Death Dealer abilities to intimidate their maids, it would set a very bad example. So with a very heavy sigh I walked over to one of the foot rest stools. Looking over at Kina “Come on let’s get this over with, Kina”

  The look of surprise on her face and all of the maids was worth every one of the painful blows of the hairbrush that was to come. “Well, we don’t have all day here, ladies. I have a meeting with more than a few members of the task force that has come to our aid in two hours from now. I do not want to look like I just had a crying fit when we meet. So let’s get this done.” Finally Kina moves toward me with a look of suspicion.

  “You’re not going to fight with us on this, my Lady?”

  “No, I know that I have in that last forty hours behaved in an unladylike manner. I know that some of my language was not Lady-like. So I’ll take my punishment like a Lady and not put up a fight.”

  Whispering quietly to me. “Are you ready for this, my Lady?”

  “I know what my mama is trying to teach my sisters, Kina. So please let’s get this over with, and make sure to not to hold back. I want my sisters to understand the rules between a Lady and her maids, ok?” I whisper to her.

  “As you wish, my Lady.” In a tone loud enough for everyone else to hear. “If you’ll assume the position, my Lady.”

  I just can’t help myself “You know you don’t have to appear like you’re going to enjoy this.”

  “Why, my Lady, how can you say such a mean thing? I believe an additional ten strokes are in order for that. What do you say ladies, forty in total?” she asked of her counter parts.

  Holy shit! Their talking about forty strokes of the hairbrush on my rear end. Just what the hell have let myself in for here? “Excuse me ladies, but did you say forty strokes?”

  “Why yes, my Lady. Your mama told us that there was a total of three times that you used very unlady like language.” Gin told me.

  “Ok, ok. I’ll accept the punishment. Man, what a girl has to do to keep the peace around here.” I mumbled.

  “Thank you, my dear. I’m glad to see that you’re not arguing with your maids anymore. Kina, if you would be so kind as to deliver the punishment?” looking up I see mama walking into my sisters’ room. Here I am bent over Kina’s lap on the foot stool with my ass in the air and she has a smile on her face. Talk about being embarrassed, oh well at least she didn
’t correct the number of swats I’m about to get. “Oh, and by the way, Kina, you need to deliver a total of sixty swats. Not the forty you were.” At my look of horror and shock she explains. “I know of another three times my dear. Would you prefer we go for the full ninety?”

  “No, ma’am. I’ll take the sixty.”

  “Very good then, Kina if you please.” She says.

  And with that I feel the first blow of the hairbrush. “OW!” from there on the just kept coming. First on the right check, then on the left. By the time she reaches ten I was starting to cry. By the time twenty was reached I was a blubbering mess. From then on I just quit counting and let my tears fall. For the next ten minutes my ass was on fire. I swear if I live through the humiliation of this I will never again use foul language where anyone but me will hear it. When the hairbrush landed for the last time I know that fact without any doubt.

  As I stand up mama crossed the room to give me a very desperately needed hug. “Shhh, child I know that hurt, but it had to be done. Now your sisters know that even they must follow the rules, and not misuse their Death Dealer upgrades to intimidate their maids. I’m sorry that you had to be used to set the example.” She whispers into my ear.

  “I know mama, trust me, I know.” Sniffling I wipe the tears from my face. “I just wish it didn’t have to be so painful. That hairbrush hurts like a major son-of-a- ….gun.” I almost said son-of-a-bitch, but the look in mama’s eyes made me remember my pain filled promise. “Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go wash up and repair my makeup.” I walk past the stunned looks of my sisters straight into their bathroom. While I was cleaning up I hear a very fast conversation take place out in the bedroom between my mother and sisters.

  Nanami was the first to confront mama. “Mama, why did sissy have to be beaten like that?”

  “No child she was not, I repeat, not beaten. She was spanked for unladylike behavior.”

  “That was wrong to treat her that way.” Nanase almost yelled.

  “No child. What that was, was a lesson. Did you not see how she accepted her punishment? She knew that she had done wrong.”
