Master

Part Ten

"Master seems to be in a bad mood." Isabel commented shortly after she began following me again once tea was served. Kaku had whispered that later he would thoroughly clean me. It only caused me to shiver at the thoughts that came to mind, that only made him smirk in a pleased manner.

We were heading to Lucci's room at the moment as it was time to wash his sheets and if enough time, Kalifa's as well. Blueno's were washed earlier along with Kaku's and then tomorrow would be the last couple of guest rooms bedding. The extra two rooms were washed only every few months unless someone stays over, so it was about time to.

"Just a troublesome meeting, but everything worked out fine in the end."

"Ah? Do you actually pay attention to those, Zoro-senpai?" The question made me shrug out as the door was in sight.

"No, not really." My hand moved to knock on the door before me and this voice came out with 'what?' This had me open the door with a slight incline of my head towards the man as he seemed to be looking for something.

"Oh, it's you." A hand waved out as he went back to whatever and I stepped into the room with Isabel.

"Are you misplacing something, Lucci-san?" I asked out, the woman gave a questioning look to me. Maybe since on how casual I asked it to a well-known man in the house that no servant wanted to misplace a word or step around.

"One of the servant boys came in to clean and my damn charger is missing along with a few things from my wallet!" This pissed off look found me as I was surprised before gritting teeth and looking to blue eyes.

"Who cleaned in here today?" The tone startled her as she frantically shifted around before hands together in front of her.

"I-I think it was Gilly!"

"Get him now."

"Yes, Senpai!" Isabel was frantic as she quickly ran out of the room like hounds were nipping at her ankles. A hum was heard before clapping and I looked over to Lucci as he was showing a… proud smirk?

"Bravo, boy!" Feet shifted in a nervous action as I looked to the ground with arms crossed. "Taking command like so…" The words made me grit teeth as I never realized how I was. It didn't feel right to do that. "As expected of the head servant, making sure the others are in shape." Those words sort of made me feel better as it sounded like what I was actually supposed to do, not trying to be some owner.

I was trying to help.

"Here he is!" Isabel had a tight grasp on the blue haired male as he was held down in a bow.

"I didn't do anything!"

"Was this the male you seen, Lucci-san?" I asked out whilst shifting so he could view the now tensing servant.

"Yes! You little bastard!" My body shifted to tug Isabel back as Lucci made a beeline for the servant. The blonde woman voiced confusion, but merely stayed by me as a whip snapped across the male's face. The servant, Gilly, fell to the ground with shock as he grasped his face and gave me pleading eyes.

"Did you take his belongings?" My body shifted to peer down at him and the trembling began. Lucci stood with arms crossed and viewed the scene.

"N-never!"

"Isabel." My hand was out and she shifted to the hallway as I noticed another servant hand her the belongings.

"I had Myki search his room, Senpai." The charger, some cards, and cash found my hand. I took it whilst crouching down next to the terrified servant.

"Explain." Lips shifted but no sound came out and I had a sad expression to him.

"I have no excuse, Zoro-senpai…" The voice was low as he looked down to the ground with this horrified look of realization on what he had done. I stood up to move and place the items on the table. Lucci stood with a livid stance and I shifted to the side to wait.

"Boy, take him to one of those rooms." Grey slated eyes flicked to me as he had teeth gritted and I could tell he was going to unleash Hell any moment.

"Yes, Lucci-san." This bow left me as I shifted to push at the woman to go to the hall.

"By the hair." Surprise found me when I was going to grab the collar of the troubled servant. No hesitation left me as I gripped into blue locks, I didn't want to be on the other end of that whip. A whine left the male as I tugged him to follow with teeth gritting. We walked down the hall as Lucci would probably put his things away first before going to the task.

"Isabel, go to Kaku-sama's room and wait there. You may explain if you like." The words left me as she soon stopped to break off down another hallway.

"Oh gosh, oh gosh…" The words left the servant as I walked with gritted teeth of not wanting to drag him like this. Some servants had retreated back into the rooms as I headed for the stairs. Whispers flourished as I took him down into the basement and kept my other hand in a fist, trying not to grip blue hair too hard. We reached a room and I took him in whilst letting go once reaching the middle.

"Gilly." The name left me as he was already a pooling mess on the ground at what he knew was going to happen. "I hope this will be a lesson for you."

"S-she told me to do it!" The fear of him had words spill and I blinked in surprise before leaning down to him.

"She?" I asked out quietly and wide eyes looked to me with a quick nod.

"She told me that I would be rewarded! Rewarded with something greater from her boss!" The complete seriousness of this made me lean to him as I listened intently.

"Boss? Who is she?" The noise of feet tapping had him shake and I looked to him to continue.

"Isabel. She told me to do it. Said I-I wouldn't get c-caught! Said that her boss would save me!" A slight frown found me as I knew many would take any chance of freedom.

"Thank you." Another choked sob left him as the steps were close and I stood up before noticing Lucci at the door.

"You are dismissed, Kaku's boy." A bow left me as I exited the room, closing the door behind me as I went down the hall to leave quickly. Snaps broke through the air as I heard screams follow and took the stairs quickly to leave and close the door. This shuddered sigh left me as I soon moved to master's room.

As I approached and knocked on the door, the voice never came. My eyes looked to the door and down each way of the hall. Something unnerved me as I swallowed before staring intently at the door. "Kaku-sama?" The name left me loud enough before I heard shifting, but nothing else. Something muffled sounded and I opened the door. Staying in the hall, I opened the door all the way as I gazed in.

No one.

Strange.

My feet shifted into the room as I felt a cold chill travel my spine when I looked to the far left of the room. Kaku was sitting in a chair, tied to it with brown orbs gleaming to me. A quick hand moved as I felt the presence and smacked the hand away that held a gun before sweeping to knock legs out. This yelp left the woman as she landed ungracefully and I stomped on her wrist to release the gun.

"Bitch." The tone left me as I glared down to her and this laugh left her.

"This is your chance, Zoro-senpai!" The other hand moved to line up my calf over my clothes and she smirked wildly. "He promises your desire if you so wish it!"

"Desire? Did your senses cloud you, woman?" Confusion flickered in her blue orbs as I growled to her. "No one messes with Kaku unless they have a death wish."

"I thought you couldn't handle someone owning slaves?!" A grip was on my leg as she was trying to get me to move.

"I couldn't handle owning slaves! What Kaku does is his business!"

"Don't you want to be free?!"

"If it means being apart from Kaku, then no!" The snap left me as I pressed harder on her wrist and this shocked look came upon her. "What? Did you think our little talk would convince me otherwise?"

"You sounded completely—!" A cry left her as my foot pressed and she screamed some name out.

Someone else?!

I quickly leaned for the gun, shifting to put it in my pants band on my backside before grasping my two swords that rested just within the closet. Feet moved and I began running towards Kaku as he had a surprised look before towards the door.

"Don't move!" My feet didn't listen as I quickly slashed at my master and turned to stand in a defensive stance before him. A man with crazy dirty blonde hair and blue eyes gleamed to me.

"Bellamy!" The woman whimpered the name as she was sitting up rubbing her wrist and glared to me. A gun was pointed at me as a grin was on his face and he laughed out.

"He said to make sure the green haired boy lived, nothing else." Hands lined my back before shifting to go under my shirt and grasping the gun.

"I had a feeling you were a part of the Hyena family." Kaku spoke out with a gun pointing past my face as I stayed in my spot. "Tell me, was it his wish for you to come here?"

"Brother, we are to avoid any deaths." Isabel spoke out as she stood behind the man and I began to wonder what about the others in the home? Couldn't they hear the commotion?

"Listen, I'm supposed to take the boy and be on my way. No issues, no deaths. Simple, neh?" This man, Bellamy, spoke out with a grin and then a hum was behind me.

"How about no? I've made it very clear that no one touches my lover." A flutter left me at the words, but kept my focus. Nothing will distract me from this, and then that's when I saw eyes in the hallway. As I did, the figure moved and I watched as Isabel was kicked to the side. Arms went around Bellamy's neck as he tried to wildly buck the man off. My feet moved as I slashed at a leg and Saga fell off the man, then began holding the woman back. The gun shifted, but he was shot in the shoulder causing him to stumble into the doorframe. My hands shifted to slash at him, nothing life threatening, but I should have.

The gun went off as I soon felt sweat fall, thinking I was lucky he missed, but the cry of pain caught me off guard. I shifted to slowly look and see Kaku leaning against the wall grasping his side.

Blood.

Oh god, blood.

The laughter filled my ears as the man began to taunt out and that was it. Rage burst through my whole body as I felt like my whole being went cold with any remorse from here on out. My body moved on its own and sent a swift blade into his chest. This gurgled noise left him as I felt a fierce force push it farther in. The gun was pointed at me, but I merely held his eyes as I seen the fear in them.

"BELLAMY!" My arm shifted out as I pointed the blade to the side before letting a quick slash go across his throat. The finger never pulled the trigger as his arm fell and the last of his breaths coughed out blood as a hand grasped desperately at his neck. My foot found his chest as I pressed harshly to pull my other sword out. "Oh god, Bel-Bellamy!" This small stagger left me before letting my eyes find the woman. "N-no!"

"Z-Zoro!" Saga's voice was faint in my ears as I raised my weapon as the woman was released to cower onto the ground. My arm shifted to begin slashing her down.

"That's enough, Zoro-kun." The blade stopped next to the pulsing vein in a pale neck as tears streamed her face and I'm sure she had urinated upon herself.

My teeth gritted as I glared down at her and nothing but fear was flared across her face with a shaking body. This stiff movement left me as I shifted back with one last look before moving to Kaku. Fear and worry was in me as I got closer and let my swords drop as I soon kneeled by him. My hands frantically took my shirt off as I soon pressed it to the wound. Fingers found my hair as he gripped with a groan at the pressure.

"What in the actual hell?!" Lucci's voice came out, but I didn't turn to him as I pressed my face into Kaku's neck.

"Call Kalifa and Blueno back and that doctor." My master spoke out as he used his free hand to wave out and I felt blood line my neck. It seemed the hand in my hair was the one he was using for his wound.

"Oi, you, get her tied up and that body to the side so we can maneuver better." Lucci was off on orders as he began addressing the other members over the phone and this hum was softly by my ear.

"Good job, Zoro-kun. I knew you would protect me." My body began to shake as I felt a sob rattle my body. "I'm going to be fine."

"I didn't do enough…" The words were a whisper and this had him quiet before gripping my hair aggressively. My head was tilted back to look up at his face that smirked down at me.

"Nonsense, they were planning to kill me." A light chuckle left me at the words before I was pulled to kiss him. Fingers pulled me soon after so I could view glazed orbs. "You truly are the only one."

"Don't talk, you're not in the right mind, Kaku-sama."

"Says the boy who would never leave me even if it meant freedom." Silence found me as I did not have anything to reply with. It was true, I would not leave this man unless he abandoned me. "Behave while I am at the hospital."

"Yes, Kaku-sama."

"Tell that Saga-boy that I have a treat in store for him when I get back for such a splendid job he did."

"Okay." The word was soft as he kept smirking and then he gazed away and released me so I could look.

"We need to carry him to the front door so he can be ready to go." Lucci claimed out as I soon moved to pick up my master, him complaining lightly of having to be. The two brothers argued down the hall, a soft smile finding me as I was glad things were back in order from the differences felt a few weeks back.

Heal quickly, Kaku.
