Next Day…

/Sora's POV/

I was having a very good dream but the sun's rays started to dance on my face. I groaned and slowly lifted myself up from where I laid. I looked around 'where am I?' I asked myself- oh…that's right.

Lord Riku's bedroom. I was about to huff down from where I was but there was something preventing me from jumping down; I looked over and saw a silver haired Master sleeping right beside me. I smiled as I blushed as I gazed at his chest going up and down as a sign that he was still sleeping.

I actually didn't notice last night that he was wearing a lot of fancy garments: a black/silver/dark green of what it looked to be a men's kimono.

I looked closely at him as he slept but he then stirred and moved to the side making the neck area of his clothing fall by the side of his shoulder.

I blushed deeply but then I noticed something…a symbol or a scar that looked like a crest with a half moon in the middle.

It seemed kind of interesting but just when I was about to move away my hand was over the scar and gently touching it making him stir more.

His eyes fluttered open and looked up at me and then smiles at me "Good morning, Sora- kun" my cheeks grow redder 'he just gave me a pet name' I thought making my heart do a flip-flop in my stomach.

I smiled trying to conceal my nervousness "Good morning, Master" he sits upwards and stretches out his tense muscles and softly yawns "Would you like me to get anything for you?" he looks over towards me and pats my head.

Such a good feeling…I look at him just when my tummy started to rumble with the protests for food. He chuckles "well it seems that your tummy is in the mood for some chewing down"

I blush and look down at my folded legs. "Aw don't feel bad, hey tell you what…how about you accompany me to the kitchen and I can make the cooks fix us something to eat?"

The thought of food was very delightful but the thought of not serving him was another one. My mind began to get filled with my ex-master's screams and yells.

"You have to always fulfill their every need!"

I try to shake it off but it was in vane

"You have no reason to live, only to serve! That is your purpose"

I look at Riku with a smile on his face as he sat there looking very tempting. I gulp down hard and clench my fists on my legs

"Do it!"

My body moved like if it had been shocked with electricity and jumped towards Riku toppling him over as I hovered over him. He looked at me shocked; my head began to pound as I started to take off my clothes but suddenly something pulled my hands down to where they were.

I look down and see Riku's hands on mine "What are you doing?" I gasp and quickly look at him "I'm so sorry, Master!" I quickly get off of him and sit down on the floor as tears welled up in the corner of my eyes but I didn't even bother to wipe them off.

I hear him shift his position as I just sit there not wanting to face him right now. I knew that I had made him mad and I really didn't want to see him like that…his face was too angelic to be- what? Did I just say that?

"What are you doing now?" I hear him ask but that time I heard annoyance in his tone. I gulp down "I-I…you have to…punish me if you…didn't like what I did"

"Punish you?"

"Yes…" I then start to take off my shirt but just when I do I heard him gasp out loudly like if he had seen a ghost or something.

/Riku's POV/

I was actually very sleepy but a warm touch on my shoulder woke me up. It was Sora, the little slave…the cute slave from last night. I smile at him "Good morning, Sora- kun" it seems that my mind was right now thinking on its own.

I chuckled mentally as his cheeks start to flare up. Okay now I knew that he was really cute…I also knew that somehow along the way of my childhood and life I had figured out that I was actually kind of…well…different from your regular boy.

"Good morning, Master" he says as I start to sit up and stretch out with a yawn. My back starts to hurt "Would you like me to get anything for you?" he asks but I just pat him on the head as he then smiles but then his stomach softly growls making him look down at his legs.

I chuckle "well it seems that your tummy is in the mood for some chewing down" I notice him blushing still looks down with a sad look on his face "Aw don't feel bad, hey tell you what…how about you accompany me to the kitchen and I can make the cooks fix us something to eat?" his head slowly I smile at him but he seems to be spaced out and then after a while he suddenly jumps on me and begins to take his clothes off.

I am in shock; how and why was he doing this I don't know but I really don't want to take advantage of him like this. My hands find a way to seize his hands "What are you doing?" he looks at me and gasps "I'm so sorry, Master!" he then sits down on the floor with his back turned towards me as he softly sobs and sniffles.

I would really like an explanation about why his actions changed so suddenly. My eyes narrow upon him as I sit down at the edge of the bed "What are you doing now?"

"I-I…you have to…punish me if you…didn't like what I did" with a shaky tone as his body slowly tilted

"Punish you?" I didn't know what he meant by that

"Yes…" plain and simple 'yes'. I just stare at him a while wondering on the words that just came out of his mouth. Why did he want me to punish him? I really don't understand but then it hits me. They used to punish him didn't they? The ones that went before me…the ones that…used him…as a tool…not a person. His hands then start to travel by the sides of his shirt 'what is he doing now?'

I ask myself as I watch him closely but instead of doing anything else he makes the back part of his shirt fall off and the only thing that I can see…is scars. Big scars, small scars new scars and old scars. My jaw drops at the sight of all of them and I actually don't know what to do or say

/Sora's POV/

It had been a while since either of us had said anything and my heart was not hurting. My head was being tormented by past events and scenes. My body began to shake; why was I having a nervous breakdown now?

I never acted liked this before and I had never thought of the past. Maybe being with my new Master was changing me…no, it can't be. I slowly turned towards him and he looked very pale "What…what's wrong, Master?"

"Did…did they do that to you?" he asked as I notice that some tears were almost at the sides of his eyes. Those eyes shouldn't be allowed to shed tears. I crawl over towards him and I look up from the floor "Yes…yes they did" his hand travel to my cheek and softly starts to touch it

"Why would they do such a horrible thing?" I look away from him leaving the warmth aside "well…I was…bad-" I am suddenly off the floor and in his arms. My heart starts to race "You are not a bad person, Sora…you're not. They are the ones who are bad. Not you"

"But…I am bad-"

"No you are not and I will not allow you to say that you are. I disagree with all of the ones who think otherwise" I smile as my cheek rest on his shoulder. Such a wondrous feeling…I never had felt this way before. It's like no one or nothing can touch me while he's near me. No…it can't be what I'm thinking. It can't be…love…can it? He clears his throat as I pull away from him and look down "And do me a favor" I look up at him with a confused look on my face "Huh?"

"Don't look down anymore" he smiles "it doesn't suit you" he then stands up and walks towards the door but just when he's about to walk out "Hey…are you coming or not?"

"Oh! Y-Yes!" I say as I quickly stand up from where I'm sitting and rush to his side. He opens the door and then we start to walk down the castle hallways.


That was a bit crappy but I think that the next chapter might be good R&R, and thanks for reading!
