Yuki: Well this is chapter eight, thanks everyone that has reviewed.
Madam Jinx- You'll find out soon what happens with Kile, I think, it might be a little longer than I originally planed. As for Kage staying as a pet, I can't tell you the answer with out explaining everything else, it's kinda complicated and I wouldn't want to ruin the story for you.
Evlin- Sorry about stopping there, I was getting tired and someone didn't stay awake to keep me awake… anyways, as for Kage have to have music to sleep, that is only for a peaceful sleep, because she uses the music to block noises that bring back the memories.
Disclaimer: I do not own MP but I do own Kage and Gwen
Kile was glaring at me, "I see you brought your little pet Mikhal." He went and took a seat. I looked around I didn't see Gwen anywhere; it only made me worry more. Was she lying in Kile's room hurt? Was she with another trainer?
Mikhal smiled, "Yes, I thought maybe she should get out of her room for a little bit." He ushered me to where he was going to sit, Sit at my feet Kage, and please say nothing or do anything that will upset Kile. I did as I was sold I sat at his feet, Kile's eyes followed my moves.
"She seems very well broken; it's amazing, even Jaguar had trouble with her when she was first brought to Midnight." He leaned back into his chair.
"She's not completely broken, just obedient," Mikhal smiled down at me, "It's amazing what happens when you don't beat one to a bloody pulp." I had to play on the comment, I laid an arm across Mikhal's lap and laid my head on it, then looked up at Kile innocently.
Kile growled slightly, "Anyways on to business," he took a moment to retain himself. "Jeshickah would like you to take a job here at Midnight, not just trainer."
Mikhal thought for a second, "What job does she want me to take?" He brushed my cheek with his hand.
"She wants you to take the job of culling the weak humans that have been brought into Midnight." Kile laughed as Mikhal tensed.
"Jeshickah knows that I do not want that job, tell her I will do something else that does not include killing the humans." He continued to brush my cheek.
This conversation was extremely weird for me; a trainer like my master should have no problem culling the humans, unless it was something personal. That was it! That had to be it, there was something personal for him that had to deal with humans.
"She thought you would say that," Kile shook his head, "There are a few other jobs you can do, but you can not take your pet with you, she will have to remain alone all night."
It was my turn to tense, but the calming strokes of my master moved from my cheek to the top of my head, "I do not wish to work for Jeshickah, I will soon be going back to my home with my pet, so I will not have to be here."
"You aren't suppose to leave until your serves to Jeshickah is over, you know that, and there is still two more years until your serves to her is over." Kile sounded like he was chiding my master.
Mikhal cursed slightly, great now I had another clue to his past he had serves that he owned Jeshickah.
"Then what other jobs are there Kile?" Mikhal's voice was harsh.
"Well there is breeder, that used to be Kyomi's job, but he was killed." Kile glanced at me like he knew it was my fault.
"I'll take that, it doesn't include taking innocent life." My master stood and I followed.
"'Doesn't include taking innocent life?'" Kile laughed, "You're a trainer Mikhal you take away human lives all the time, you just leave the soul attached."
Mikhal shook his head, "I save the poor creatures, I teach them how to act so that they aren't killed by careless vampires like you." He sounded angry, "Come Kage, we're done here."
"Yes Milord," It was moods like this that I learned not to aggravate vampires, because to do so could mean much more unnecessary damage done to me.
"Oh no little pet, you're mine." Kile grabbed and held me close to him, "Like you should have been a year ago."
I screamed, and that set Mikhal off, not at me, but at Kile. He grabbed Kile's wrist, "Let her go Kile, she is mine."
Kile laughed, "Care about the little bitch do you?" He tightened his arms around me.
"She is my pet Kile, let her go or I will snap your wrist." Mikhal's muscles tensed.
Kile laughed, "The fear in her is worth a broken wrist." He tightened his arms more, and this time it was actually painful so I whimpered, suddenly there was the shattering sound of crunching bone. Kile screeched, but didn't let go of me.
"She's mine Kile, I've paid Jeshickah for her already." Mikhal stepped closer.
"Master, help," I whimpered. Hold on Kage I'll get you from him. Mikhal's voice, even in my head, sounded angry.
Kile was suddenly on his knees in great pain, at first he took me down with him, but then he shoved me forward and I landed at Mikhal's feet. I knew what was going on, Mikhal managed to attack Kile's mind, I wasn't aware that Mikhal was that strong.
My master helped me up in I basically cuddled into his arms, he held me tight but not painfully like Kile did.
"Let that be a lesson to you Kile, do not touch what is mine!" Mikhal's voice was still sharp, "Come on my pet, we need to pay a visit to Jeshickah." He kept an arm around my shaking shoulders as we walked out and down to Jeshickah's office.
Mikhal knocked hard enough that people outside probably could have heard it.
"Yes?" Jeshickah sounded annoyed already, great it's just a day of annoyed vampires.
Mikhal opened the door and I dropped three steps behind before bowing.
"Mikhal, what are you doing here?" it seemed to be two voices, both I recognized, one was Jeshickah and the other was Jaguar.
"I need to talk to Jeshickah about the behavior of one of her vampires, and what, Jaguar are you doing here?" Mikhal pulled me close to him, and I didn't care, for two reasons, I had finally come to face the fact that I am his pet, and I was still shaking from what happened with Kile.
"I'm here to get papers for," he glanced at me and I glanced down, he continued, "For a pet."
Mikhal brushed my head still trying to calm me, "I see." He turned to Jeshickah, "You need to keep Kile in line, he tried to steal my pet today."
"And that is my concern how? If you could keep track of your pet yourself I wouldn't have to keep an eye on Kile." Jeshickah didn't even spare a glance at me as she rummaged through some papers.
"My pet has done nothing wrong, we were simply leaving and he grabbed her, I think he is still upset that Kage is mine and not his." He played with the ends of my hair.
"She was suppose to be Kile's, Paris was going to sell her to him." Jeshickah threw some papers at Jaguar.
"Have you considered my job offer Mikhal?" Jeshickah walked up to us. I glanced at Jaguar, he smiled sadly at me and then disappeared.
"I will take job of breeder, but not of culling." Mikhal placed his arm around me again as Jeshickah stepped up to me.
"You still refuse to cull the humans," she was laughing there was obviously something that I was missing on this subject.
"Yes," Mikhal sounded upset still, but I suppose I could understand why.
"You can have breeder, but unless you'll be breeding Kage, I suggest that you leave her home, understand?" Jeshickah patted my head, and for once I managed not to flinch. "She's beautiful, like I told Jaguar she would be good for breeding but not obedience." She tapped her nails gently down my cheek, I swallowed trying to stay still and be good.
"You know I will not breed my pet, especially if it is still the same way that it was. That was barely short of rape, Jeshickah, you know that it isn't good for the health of the female pets that bare the children to have it done that way. I will not have an unhealthy pet." Mikhal eased me away from Jeshickah.
"You have very strange views for a hundred year old vampire," She laughed slightly, "Honestly, I thought your memories of being a pet would have faded by now."
Mikhal glared at her, I did a little bit of math in my head, if Mikhal was older than a hundred just by a few year that would mean he would have been changed around the time of the original Midnight, and if he was a pet that means he would have been a pet the same time I was.
"You start tomorrow night, and keep your pet in line." Jeshickah snickered slightly.
"Just keep Kile in line Jeshickah," he turned to leave and took me with him.
"Kage my pet, you are not to repeat anything that you heard today understand?" We were on our way back to his part of Midnight.
"Yes Master," I nodded slightly.
"Are you alright Kage? After what Kile did? Be honest." He unlocked the doors that lead into his main room.
I shrugged slightly, "No physical damage done, milord, I'm just shaken, every time he touches me it is like the bad memories come flooding back. He almost killed me while Lady Paris was on a short trip to New Mayhem, I can't forget the pain that he caused me." I started shaking again, I tried to control it, but I wasn't able to.
He opened the door to my room and walked me to my bed, I sat on it and he sat in front of me, "Kile will not harm you like that again, and if he does he will pay. If he claims you have done something wrong then he will have to come to me for you to be punished, I don't approve of his way of punishing." He started to get up and collected the bowls of fruit, "I see you ate last night's fruit."
I nodded slightly, "Milord?"
"Yes Kage?" He turned around to face me.
"Can you go to Lord Jaguar's and get something for me?" I was preparing myself for pain for even asking.
"What is it you need that is there Kage?" He was near the door now.
"My music, it will help me sleep if I have it." I looked away so that I wasn't even facing him.
"How does it help you sleep?" he sounded curious.
"I have horrible nightmares that can be triggered by the smallest sounds, the music blocks it out." I looked out the bay window.
"Alright, I'll be back, I'll leave the door unlocked if you want to wander around my area, just stay out of trouble." And with that he was gone. He actually agreed with getting my things for me, good that means I was back on his good side.
He appeared in my opened door, I was sitting in the bay window looking out on the grounds.
"Do you see something interesting Kage?" He looked out the window as well.
"That's the grave yard Milord," I pointed out the obvious, "The one that all the pets are buried in."
"Yes, that is right, what about it?"
"Nothing really," I sighed.
"Do not lie to me my pet." He sat next to me.
"Sorry milord, my mother is buried there, along with a good friend of mine. I was just thinking about how I missed them, just stupid human things." I shrugged.
"If you want to visit them while I am at work, you may, if you promise not to go anywhere else but there." He sat a CD player, a few CDs and my panpipe me.
"I promise Master." I smiled at him.
"Go to sleep Kage," He walked out of the room but left the door open. I shut the curtains and took the CD player and a CD and crawled into my beanbag bed. I huddled in the blanket wondering what to think about Mikhal.
Yuki: alright that's where I stop for tonight, I have a few things that I need to do, I hope you enjoy.
