An aisle of kennel cages at least 25 deep was soon before the still recovering Nabiki. Inside were girls lying on their sides, resting on their thighs, crouching, squatting or crawling in their 4-by-8 ft. enclosures. None were standing. A few had clothes on, most were naked, some were furry costumes. At least she hoped they were just costumes, and those were fake dog ears on their heads.
They're being treated like animals, Nabiki thought. But they also sounded like them, arfing, yipping, and whining. They greeted her with no human words. She hoped they could still form those.
When a gate to an empty cage beside her was opened, it drove the Tendo martial artist out of her mental shock. She attacked. But was shocked again by the collar around her throat. Her punishment was severer than before. It reached down her spine, and made her limp, and lose bladder control.
She was picked up and tossed her onto the padded matt inside.
