******************************************************************************
Kirsten is spending her holiday in a part of Japan. Everything has been going well for her recently. She has been promoted to a very high rank in her company; the youngest so far to attain such a position. She also won several championships for her rowing club. A prestigious rowing institution had invited her to take part in one of their camps, and from then on her potential will be limitless. This trip to Japan is meant to be a relaxing break before she dives back into her busy routine. She had already explored the majority of England, so she decided to try somewhere that is completely exotic. So far she is enjoying her trip, a lot.
Everything is new and fresh, and fascinating. The culture, the people, the arts. Her healthy complexion shone under the warm sun as she strolled along the country path. People smiled and admired her powerful physique and well tanned skin. She never felt better in her life. At the age of 36 she is still at the height of her physical prowess. She is dressed in a white underneath, and tights that stopped just above her knee. Socks that reached just below the ankle disappeared into a pair of sneakers. Her shapely thighs and calves are powerful but feminine, and dangerously attractive.
Feeling thirsty, she involuntarily picked an apple from a nearby tree and took a bite. The sweet juice swirled around her mouth and cooled her cheeks. She is indeed a striking figure as she stood there. Her hips and buttocks showed through her tights, fleshy and toned. Her blonde ponytail gave her a youthful and girly appearance, despite her age. But make no mistake, she is a strong woman, both physically and mentally. Everyone respected her at work and in her rowing club. Even the more hardy members are afraid of crossing her line. Although fair, she is capable of making short work of anyone.
Suddenly a decreipt old man came hobbling at her, yelling something. He pointed at the apple she is holding, and continued his flow of Japanese gibberish. Kirsten stared at this ugly old man, with tattered clothing and an old pair of sandals. After a while of his nonsense she realized what he is trying to say. The apple tree belonged to him, and she had taken from it. In Japan this amounts to thieving. There are some strange rules in Japan. If a thieve is caught in the act, she will remain in full custody in the person she stole from. This means that the victim legally own her, and can do anything he want with her, until such a time as he wish to release her. Strange as it is, it is the law of the land. This makes things tricky for her, because all she did was take an apple by accident. It is such a trifle, surely he doesn't need to kick up such a fuss?
With a slightly apologetic smile she took out her wallet and offered to pay for the apple. The old man shook his head, and pointed at the ground. He pointed at her, then pointed at the ground. Repeatedly. Finally, through the jumble of words, he mumbled, "...kneel. Kneel!"
This angered Kirsten a lot. Who is this dirty old man, asking her to kneel? Who does he think he is! It is just an apple. Seeing this short, bent old man waving his arms at her and asking her to kneel made her incensed. She turned to walk away. This old man hobbles up behind her and places his wretched, muddy hand on her shoulder. This is too much to bear for Kirsten. With one powerful swing of her arm she sent him flying onto the ground. She looked at him, a crumpled heap on the ground, and cannot but feel disdain for this wicked old man.
"Get out of my way, it is just an apple, get over it."
Leaving him groaning in pain Kirsten again went on her way. However, her unique personality prevented her from simply leaving. She fiercely upholds rules. As one who has strict self discipline and follows a tight routine in life, she cannot tolerate breaking a law, no matter how non-sensical the law is. These principles are a part of her. With a heavy sigh, and against all her desire to walk off, she returned next to the old man on the ground, and kneeled down.
"Sorry... please forgive me."
Rubbing his back, the old man seemed surprised, then satisfied. He slowly stood up over her, while Kirsten remained kneeling, hands on her thighs, eyes downcast. From a distance he looked domineering, and she submissive, despite the contrast in their physique. With one hand still massaging his hip, and looking down on her with a hint of mockery, he motioned her to stay put. He walked a little distance to the left and begin tussling with something in the grass. Kneeling with ankles touching her bottom, and hands obediently still, Kirsten looked in wonder. The old man returned and dropped a sack of objects in front of her. A confused metallic clamour issued from it as it touched the ground. The old man was visibly tired from this task and was panting. Kirsten laughed within herself at his poor health. This type of load she can carry for days on end without breaking a sweat. He is indeed infirm and weak with age. What can he possibly do to her?
Kirsten looked inside and saw some rusty and used objects. A dirty leather collar with an equally dirty leash, dog hair intertwined all through it. A gag bit commonly used for horses. Two blunted hooks attached to a string rope. A long scarf like object.
Kirsten did not understand what the man expected her to do at first. But once she does, her temper flared. What is this disgusting old man thinking? He wants her to wear these unwashed animal restraints? For an apple? That is outrageous.
The old man pointed at the objects, then at her, with a stern face. Kirsten got up, pushed him to the ground, and walked off. "No old man, keep your dirty habits to yourself please!"
But it wasn't long before she turned around again. Her conscience just wouldn't let her. What he is asking is despicable, but it is the law, and she is in the wrong. She just couldn't walk off. Just couldn't. The old man had gotten back up again, moaning and holding his knees in pain. He did not give chase, he was visibly incapacitated from Kirsten's push. She strode forcefully back to the old man, head held high, back straight, as if readying for conflict. She towered over him and gave him a deadly look. Her fists were clenched tightly, as was her jaw. The old man suddenly wavered. He took a step back, and his eyes betrayed fear. He tried to turn around and run but fell to the grass. He stared with a frightened expression up at Kirsten. Unexpectedly, Kirsten dropped to her knees again. This time she touched her forehead onto the grass in front of him, her hair brushing against his dirty sandals.
"Sorry, I'm sorry. I will wear them. Please forgive me. I will do whatever you say. I will wear them now."
The old man was shocked through and through, then became bemused. A light of understanding flickered in his eye. He got back up again, standing directly atop the kneeling Kirsten. He was so close that her head was almost touching his thighs. She could smell the sweat and toil emanating from the old man.
