As she starts past Izumi places the riding crop against her chest to halt her. She's willful to a point but probably not as physically strong as the other girl.

“So you're taking a gamble?” She sighs a little at that and looks the girl over up and down quickly. Then she focuses on her features, squinting a little at first then gazing at her.

“You're not a ...” she colors a little, determination changing into embarrassment. “Of course not …”

"I need a reason to submit, and you've been less than forthcoming about your reasons. Besides, I only show that kind of respect to those who've earned it. I'm not saying you're not being honest about your abilities, but you said so yourself it doesn't always work out the way you want." Mildred explained.

“It doesn't matter … if you're not in-” she pauses and shakes her head a bit. “I'm sorry, Milly, I misread … well, not so much as misread but projected ...” she sighed and glanced back out the window. Perhaps she could get her to submit after a week of bad luck but she was hoping to avoid that with her.

Her resolve falters a little and she flicks her attention back to her …

Wait a sec … a slow smile sweeps over her face as Mildred's words finally sink in. A reason to submit … did that mean that she wanted to submit? Well, the girl wasn't running towards the door but had been in the process of leaving when she stopped her.

“Because if you do not submit you will have the most terrible of luck for the next two days. I will give you the opportunity again to submit or it is another two days. Then another. After six I will assume that you are not interested and will give you the run of luck for the next week to make up for the first week. So, you may wait, or avoid your fate if you like.”

"You still don't understand what I'm asking for. You said you wanted to teach me a lesson, but for what? What did I do that made you decide I needed to submit to you?" Mildred couldn't understand why Izumi wouldn't just explain it. Did she even really have a reason? Or was this just her way of saying she was interested?

She misunderstood the question, the smile fades from her lips a little as she distracts herself through looking out the window again. She watches Saira for a long moment recalling how she dominated the girl thoroughly to save her skin.

Eventually she looks back though. “I … I ...” She goes quiet after a sigh. “I always thought you were attractive Milly, even before you joined class today. I saw you talking with her,” she nods towards Saira, “and I knew I couldn't compete. She's better looking, better connected, bigger boobs … I can't compete with that and I guess that I thought that even if I took you, even if it were in play that was the only means in which I would be able to acquire your interests. I know, kinda stupid, right?”

"So you don't like me talking to that girl? I already told you I'm not looking to be with other girls, and her body alone isn't going to make me change my mind." Mildred explains. "Or are you not convinced of that?"

“I am ...” she let out a breath that she was holding and once again gazed out the window. “She can be a bit … determined … and I … well I didn't want to take the risk that she'd change your mind before I at least sucked it up and took a chance of some sort.”

She shakes her head a little. This certainly hadn't gone as she imagined. She had one thing in mind with the girl and she though it became obvious to her that it wasn't going to work out the way she had envisioned it so she had to assess how badly she had screwed up here.

She gave Mildred a weak smile before glancing away again. “Let's just forget this, OK? No luck or probability. We might get lucky and see a shooting star too … “

She tried to change the subject thinking that the other girl would appreciate things much better that way. If she ever did change her mind though Izumi believed that she was going to simply choose Saira, she was the obvious choice after all for this sort of thing, confident and strong with a better selection of friends. Who had she know, really known? Clearly when had envisioned thins a bit differently in her mind though she knew considers, then reconsiders that error.

"Why did you pick this method to make me choose you though?" Mildred asks referring to Izumi's outfit and dominating behavior. "Is that how you like to do things normally or just thought it would be more effective?"

“I never ...” She thinks about the girl's question though before choosing to answer that. “I guess I wasn't ready for that but wanted to please you … I thought if I just dominated you I could show you such things though ...” She didn't think she was making too much sense here though.

“I figured that if I did nothing then Saira was likely to keep being persistent until getting what she wanted and I didn't want you being number Six that she just chews up. She's had her share of bad luck but never learns from it … nor does she like me too much either. If she knew that I, yeah, if she knew she would seek you out even more just to spit me.”

"I won't be Saira's sixth victim. I have a lot more willpower than that." Mildred said then shakes her head at Izumi's suggestion. "Another night perhaps. For now I think I'll go to bed." She starts towards the door then stops and looks back. "If I ever do change my mind, you'll be the first to know. Good night." She leaves Izumi's room and heads back to her own.

Well, that could have gone better but it could have gone far worse too. She considered though. Before coming here she hadn't even thought of other girls in such a way. Then she had a taaste of what it was like to control and found that thrilling. She tried that now but failed … she wasn't daring enough, and yet …

Izumi wasn't seeking pleasure for her own sake mind you but to pleasure someone, to reduce them to such a state that she could dominate them better. She considered. It had taken her a good deal of effort to collect her tous after Wraith had last visited her. She wasn't certain if he had been coming back without saying anything, checking up on her and seeing her memories either. Sort of like popping in a DVD to watch for the next 90 minutes or so.

That could be the case. He could have been silently watching because he had been pleased thus far. So she had to consider both the known and unknown.

Perhaps tonight or tomorrow when she had more time she would by Milly a visit and put many of her toys to use. Perhaps … she debated on this for a moment. She liked the girl. A lot. There was something appearling about pleasuring her, in dominating her though if Wraith controlled her she knew that it would be far worse too.

“Give me until tomorrow night ...” she said to no one in particular in case the shade was listening, she then grinned going back to her room to put the riding crop away.
