Ok, so here I go again. See first chap for disclaimer etc.

POV: {yadda yadda}

Private thoughts: /yadda yadda/ (while not in POV mode)

Telepathic communication: [yadda yadda]

------Schu and Jei Conversing------

Schu and Jei are sitting in a private lounging room. "So where did you find her?"

"I won her in a game of cards a few years back. Her former master had said she was a handful, but if found a reason she could be fairly complacent."

"A reason?"

"He said she was fond of being outside. Being allowed to go out every once and a while kept her obedient, or so he said."

"I take it that wasn't the case with you."

Jei chuckled softly. "It worked for a while, but she decided to piss me off and I revoked her privileges. That is when she started to escape."

"Does she have a name?"

"She wouldn't tell me if she does. She isn't stupid so I doubt she would take a beating just to keep silent about her name. Her former master didn't know her name either."

"The collar device … is it removable?"

He fishes around in his pockets. "Ah here it is. This is the key to the collar. If it is removed without this it will probably kill her."

"Probably?"

"She is quite resistant to pain, there are only a few things that truly bother her. I would tell you but finding out is half the fun of a new slave."

"Yes I am truly looking forward to finding all her quirks."

------Slave in Her Room------

{Ok, if I ain't stated it before, I say it now. This sucks. I was just getting comfy with Jei. I learned all of his buttons, and damn but that took a while. He has way to many; at least some of it wasn't too bad. Anyway let me see what all is in here. A bed, dresser thingy, toilet, a tub. Hold on this may not be as bad as I thought. The cute blond said this was my room, so maybe I get to sleep in a bed for once. Fuck it, I may not get the chance anytime soon, I have heard this King has a definite sadistic streak. I am gonna sleep for a bit, on a bed. Hehe. }

------An hour or so later------

The slave woke to an unfamiliar tingle in her head. /That's strange. / She let her mind go blank as she imagined walls around her thoughts and feelings. /I wonder how long I have been asleep. I don't hear anyone around; I wonder who was trying to read me. My walls should be ok while I sleep. /

------Meanwhile back with Schu and Jei------

"Shit, why didn't you tell me she had powers?"

"Powers?" Jei looked caught up in his thoughts. "She never used them as far as I know. I didn't know she had any."

"She felt me reading her and shielded me."

"Did she realize it was you?"

"No."

------Her room again------

Schu opened the door to his new slave's room quietly. She was lying on the bed apparently sleeping, but a quick check (even through shields there is a difference in a mind between sleeping and awake) he found her to be awake. "What is your name child?"

"I do not know it if ever I was given one Master." She did not stir from her very comfortable position on the rather soft bed.

Schu pulled out the key to her collar and sat on the bed, she was lying with her back to him.

He leaned forward to unlock her collar.

She jumped.

"I have the key, child, it will not hurt you." He reached for the collar once again; she sat still this time. He slipped the key into the locking mechanism and the girl winced. "What now?"

"Even with the key it is still painful, Master."

With that Schu turned her around to face him. He found himself staring briefly into deep emerald eyes. She quickly turned her gaze down. /I thought her eyes were blue. Ask about it later. / "Do you want it off or on then?"

/Ok, why the hell is he being so fuckin nice? Screw it I hate this thing, if I have to hurt to be rid of it then so be it. / "Off please Master."

Schu once again put the key in the lock and quickly removed the band from her neck. A single tear signifying the pain it had caused its wearer. "When was the last time you bathed?"

/Now I am getting nervous, when was the last time I had an actual bath? The last time he beat me unconscious I think. / An abrupt pain to her face brought her out of her thoughts. "I asked you a question child."

"I am sorry Master, I have not had a bath in while. I have lost track of time Master so I really am not sure."

Schu sighed, and went over to the tub in the room there. "How did you learn to construct such powerful shields child?"

A/N: I know what a great place to end this chappie. Reviews make me really happy and want to write more. I have like 3 other fics to work on and I usually work on the one that has gotten the most reviews, so I know this one kinda sux so far, but it will get better.

A/N#2: Ok, I took like a 9 month hiatus and I am kinda sorry for it, but if I am still asked to continue my fics and well writing in general, I will do so.
