"Cloud, get out here…" Kadaj yelled. He was waiting in his bedroom, hands on hips, tapping his foot upon the floor in an annoyed anger.

Cloud was in the next room…his stepbrother's bathroom. He was cleaning the tile floor after having cleaned the sink, toilet and tub. He had hoped that after this, being that it was so late, that he would be released to his quarters for the night to rest. Sighing softly to himself, he had lost those hopes the minute he had heard his stepbrother yell for him. Standing, Cloud looked at himself in the mirror. His pale cheeks were smudged with dirt and sweat, and his pale blue eyes looked worn making him seem older then he really was.

"Cloud….get out here."

The blonde flinched and dropped the sponge he had been using to clean into the bucket of dirty water at his feet. Then he turned and left the room. He froze once he saw the man before him. Kadaj was dressed in a black robe lined with silver thread, his feet bare on the wood floor beneath him. 'This was the robe he usually wore when…no…he was not going to think of it tonight…' Cloud hoped.

Kadaj looked up with fire in his green eyes and the minute he saw Cloud he pointed at the floor beneath his feet.

"What is this?" Kadaj demanded pointing at the ground.

"What is what?" Cloud dared to ask. He did not move any closer to Kadaj then he had to. For the moment he waited just outside the bathroom door. He was more then just cautious. On many occasions he was beaten or worse yet, used as sexual slave when he was called into a room in such a manner.

Looking at Cloud Kadaj sneered even darker. "This…this pile of dust…why is it here?" He demanded. Cloud looked down. He didn't see anything…what was his stepbrother talking about.

"Get over here…on your knees and look…you filthy brat." Kadaj cursed at the blonde.

Cloud flinched again and dropping his shoulders in utter defeat he stepped forward, his blue eyes never leaving the cold chilling green ones that were gazing upon him as he moved forward. Slowly, once he was standing before Kadaj, Cloud knelt down, placing both palms on the floor as he brought his face closer to the ground to see what the man before him was talking about. To his horror he did see a pile of dust. 'But wait, he had cleaned the floors…just an hour ago…there had been nothing…was this a joke…a test…something to get him by or to punish him by…why?' Cloud thought in fear. "It is dust…I will clean it right away." He said moving to stand again as quickly as he could.

Kadaj frowned and before the blonde could move away he snatched a handful of hair and yanked the boy's head back against his shoulders making him face upwards. Cloud tensed and bit his tongue to keep from crying out in pain. He desired not to give his stepbrother any pleasure at all that he had hurt him. Cloud's lips parted in a deep breath as his eyes were forced to look up into the angry face of his stepbrother. "Please let me clean it up for you…." Cloud begged, hoping to release himself from the man. He did not fight nor did he try to pull away. Doing that would only make things worse for him and he was tired… so tired… all he really wanted to do was sleep. Sleep was his only escape from the evils he had to endure day in and day out. Sleep was the only time where he could be himself…to pray until he fell asleep for release…to be saved from this horrible place.

Kadaj tightened his hold on the blonde's hair seeing the boy beneath him jump. "Lick it up…brat." He hissed. Cloud blinked and licked his lips in confusion.

"What?"

"I said lick it up!" Kadaj repeated even though he had not released his grip on the blonde's spiky locks. On instinct Cloud tried to move, ignoring the fact that he was being held back. His efforts were only to fail him as he winced in slight pain when his hair was pulled so tightly away from him in his efforts to do as he was told. He heard Kadaj laugh and his heart sank.

"Well…go on…lick it up." The heated voice said above him again. Cloud swallowed a breath and this time he remained still…unmoving.

Kadaj laughed again and still holding onto Cloud's hair he thrust his arm down, releasing the handful of hair, literally throwing Cloud face first onto the floor. Cloud threw his palms out in an effort to prevent himself from slamming into the floor…he barely missed. A small gasp escaped his lips and for a moment he remained there stiff like…staring at the floor on his hands and knees. He could feel cold eyes watching him, lingering over him and it chilled him to the bone, so much so, that he actually shuddered slightly.

Swallowing another breath Cloud slowly bent his head further down and very slowly he stuck out his tongue and started to lick up the pile of dirt. It was not as disgusting as he thought it would be…but this was highly degrading, but again it was not the worst thing he had ever done. It didn't taste bad but it was dirt for crying out loud…who in their right mind would want to eat dirt…yet here he was doing as such. There was silence as he worked lapping up completely the small pile of dirt. When he was done Cloud coughed in mild disgust and moved to sit back upon his ankles.

"Good…now go wash your mouth out and come back." Kadaj ordered.

Cloud nodded. He rose from his feet and then headed back into the bathroom. In the pit of his stomach he knew what would happen next and it sickened him. Once in the bathroom he looked at himself in the mirror again. For a second he stared at himself. 'How pitiful was he…weak…ugly…stupid…disgusting…unloved…' Cloud thought staring at himself. He fought back tears and quickly closed his eyes. He reached for the mouthwash in the medicine cabinet, filled the lid, and dumped the small amount of liquid into his mouth. Swishing it around in his mouth he stared off into space, letting is thoughts wonder. He then jumped, snapping back to reality as a voice rang loud in his head.

"And wash your dirty face…I can't have you looking dirty with me." Kadaj called out after him.

Cloud leaned forward and spit out the minty liquid from his mouth. Then without even so much as a second thought he grabbed the nearest rag…soaped it up…and cleaned his face off. He took his time. He knew what was coming next and his heart sank so low that he felt he could die. He would only be so lucky. As he stood there cleaning his face, his thoughts praying silently for release…he had no idea that he was in fact being watched. Cloud would soon find out that his prayers had been heard and by the most unlikely source he could ever imagine.

"Cloud…what is taking you so long?" Kadaj called out after him.

Hearing the man call for him again, Cloud sighed and threw down his washrag. Turning he grabbed a dry towel and rubbed it against his face roughly. Though it would take more then just one wash to get rid of the caked dirt upon his face…this quick one would just have to do at the moment. He faced himself in the mirror once more but then quickly turned away, not liking the saddened and defeat look he saw in his eyes. Cloud then stepped out from the bathroom again and stopped dead in his tracks. 'Heavens no.' Cloud thought, as the view of his stepbrother came to focus in his mind.

Kadaj was reclining upon his bed, his robe undone, his lithe naked body proudly facing the blonde who now stood shocked in the doorway. "Please sir…it is late…" Cloud said in a small voice.

Kadaj shook his head. "No no…you will stay with me tonight…it is my night." He said with a smile. He then motioned for the boy to come closer, beckoning him to his bedside. Cloud closed his eyes. It really was not his night, but to say so might cause more trouble then to just give in. Slowly Cloud moved forward not meeting the gaze of the man sprawled out before him. He was just about to climb up into the bed he felt a harsh touch against his chest.

"Please do remove those shreds of clothing you call cloths from your body before you get up here." Kadaj said waving his hand at the blonde.

Cloud nodded, he had no choice. He was silent as he slowly pulled off his tattered sleeveless top, his torn navy pants, worn boots, and then his white boxers. In minutes Cloud stood naked before his stepbrother and he was fighting the shiver that ebbed over his skin and deep within him.

"Mmmmm…you might be a lousy slave but you are quite something to look at Cloudy…come on." Kadaj cooed darkly as he reached for the blonde's wrist pulling him up onto the bed.

Cloud didn't fight and he let Kadaj help him up. He felt the man pull him directly onto him and felt him entwine his legs around his, holding him tightly against him. Immediately Cloud felt his stepbrothers hardened sex press against his inner thigh and he felt sick. Cloud closed his eyes and bit his lower lip…he was really in no mood for this…and yet…what choice did he really have…fighting would only make it worse. He had tried it once and had ended up so badly beaten he could not walk right for a month. He certainly did not want to end up like that again. Resting now upon Kadaj, Cloud did not move. He merely let things happen as they would anyways. Cloud was now lying across the length of Kadaj's body. His head was beneath the man's chin and his legs were tangled within his.

Kadaj kissed at his still somewhat dirty forehead as he let his hand trail down Cloud's back tracing the line of his spine. "Simply delightful…I knew the price for you would be good…but how good I didn't know. I am quite pleased. Cloud darling…" He said taking Cloud's hand and moved it to his hardened sex between them. "Would you please…"

Cloud felt his hand grip Kadaj and at his words he turned his head up meeting the gaze of his stepbrother with nervousness.

"What?" He questioned. Kadaj slowly smiled, but it was not a kind smile, no not in the least, …it was a dark…cruel and very chilling smile.

((Kk I know it was short but I am kind of feeling it out…to dark you think? Please let me know. Interesting or not…maybe? I am not to keen on having Cloud so weak but he won't be for long. Please RxR and let me know. ))
