Thanks to Kate, Mistress Sakura, leonela, SakuraandLiforever and SPINEL for the kind and generous reviews and guesses as to whom Kero-chan lost the game to. I decided to have a twist and have Touya win instead of the much favored Spinel. Hope you readers won't be disappointed. I thought that Touya is much more capable of torturing Kero-chan than Spinel, and special thanks to leonela who gave me that inspiration in the first place. Also thank you very much, Mistress Sakura, for reviewing both my chapters!

Previous Chapter:

"The Chinese brat is wearing a dress! A dress!!!" Kero-chan howled and thumped his tiny paws on the floor.

But his laughter stopped abruptly when his opponent said. "Oh, I guess I'm the winner."

Chapter Two: Touya and the Stuffed Toy

"Nooooooooooo! I can't be losing to YOU!" Kero-chan protested loudly, glaring at his opponent, Touya.

"YES, you lost." Touya grinned widely, as he enjoyed the look of indignation on the stuffed toy-guardian beast's face.

Kero-chan deflated like a balloon that had lost all air and life. His beady eyes filled with tears. "Why, why do I have to lose to you of all people? Ah!! What did I do wrong to deserve this!"

"Don't worry stuffed toy, I won't make you suffer too much." A wild gleam came into Touya's eyes as he added. "But that would depends on your behavior."

"Who are you calling a stuffed toy! You better watch your own behavior…..you…you MONKEY!"

"Monkey? I see you are not going to behavior nicely. So let's train you up a bit in the manners department, shall we?" Whipping a rope from nowhere, Touya started tying up Kero-chan.

"What do you think you are doing! Ah, let me go you barbaric monkey!" Ignoring Kero-chan's jibs, Touya gagged him with the remainder of the rope and dragged him out of the room.

"Hey Touya, wait up." Eriol walked to Touya and whispered something that sounds like "torture chamber" to Kero-chan. They smiled conspiratorially at each other. Touya nodded his thanks and headed to one of the other rooms in the ski lodge.

"Phophore Shimber?" Kero-chan asked through the gag in his mouth. He started sweating profusely. He had a really bad feeling about this. Really really bad.

"Yes, it's exactly the type of facility we need to get you house-trained. I'm sick and tired of you snacking on whatever you want, especially on MY desserts, and having the television on an inhumanly loud volume whenever you are playing your stupid video games. It's payback time." Touya chuckled evilly. He took the gag off Kero-chan when the guardian started turning blue in the face.

"YOUR desserts? I don't see your name on them. Loud volume on the TV? You can just stuff your monkey ears with something. I don't hear Sakura or Mr. Kinomoto complaining." Kero-chan huffed and threw a disgusted look at Touya.

Touya kept quiet as they entered a small dark room lighted by a dim, flickering light in the ceiling. Lined on the walls were cuffs, chains, whips, iron rod, candles and some other weird stuff. It looks like something out of a horror movie, or Kero-chan's worst nightmare. He gulped, feeling a sense of impending doom. "Ah, don't forget I'm Sakura's guardian beast, your sister wouldn't want to have a dead guardian at the end of one week?"

The cuffs snapped and closed around Kero's tiny wrists. Touya replied, "Don't worry, a dead toy's no fun. Mwahahahahaha!"

"Ah? Touya? We don't have that deep a grudge, do we? I mean, it's just trivial matters! I'm sure we can settle this peacefully, like civilized people, right?" Kero-chan tried to smile but his lips cracked.

Touya's eyes darkened with anger. "Nothing comes between me and MY desserts. And I hate noise! Especially late at night when I'm having a particularly wonderful dream and it gets shattered by your stupid game beepings and wailings! And now, welcome to HELL!" He threw his hands up in a dramatic fashion as Kero-chan shuddered in fright.

"Let's see now, what tool should I use first? The candle? Or…..this thing looks rather interesting, I wonder what it is?" Touya studied a metal device that had sharp jagged edges and a few colored buttons. Putting aside the device, Touya finally chose the leather whip and cracked it in the air. Kero-chan fainted.

After some time, he woke up and found himself still in one piece, untouched. "Huh? That monkey didn't do anything to me?"

"Not yet, stuffed toy." Touya walked towards Kero-chan and lifted a metal tray filled with delicious and aromatic sweets, cakes and desserts.

"Wow! For me?" Kero-chan salivated and craned his neck to reach the food.

Touya sat down in front of Kero-chan and started eating with relish. "Hmmm, this is marvelous! Yummy, I have never tasted anything so scrumptious!"

"Oh, please have mercy on me and give me a tiny bit of that? Pretty please?" Kero-chan pleaded.

"Nope. This entire week you won't be eating ANYTHING, since you don't really need food to survive, you won't die. But you get to watch me eat, day after day, hour to hour, all these lip smacking food."

"And that's not all, I'm going to play the classical music you hate most, all throughout the week. From now on, I will not be talking to you, so enjoy the sights of tasty snacks and great music, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. All brought to you by Touya, the ingenious house-pet training. Tools and facility are sponsored by the kind Eriol." Touya laughed maniacally and continued eating, torturing Kero-chan with much enthusiasm.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Sakura, help me!!!"

Back in the living room

"Sakura-chan? What's wrong?"

"I thought I heard Kero-chan wailing………hmmm……..I hope Onni-chan doesn't go too far." Sakura had a worried look on her pretty face.

"Well, I hope you won't go too hard on me because I just lost to you, Sakura-chan."

"Hoee?"
