Disclaimer: Own nada. I wish I owned Kougaiji like Homura does now. But he'd come willingly...very willingly...hee hee hee...
Homura shoved Kougaiji into his castle, causing him to fall to his knees. Zenon and Shien approached. Shien raised an eyebrow.
"Lord Homura, why do you have a chained man with you?" Kougaiji's hands were shackled in front of him. He snarled at Shien. Zenon grabbed his hair and forced his head back to look him in the eyes. Kougaiji clenched his teeth, fighting the hold on his hair. Zenon smirked.
"Homura, is this the prince you're always talking about?" Homura petted Kougaiji's head, making the slave attempt to pull away.
"It is, Zenon. This is Kougaiji. He's going to be our little slave." Zenon dropped Kougaiji's hair, allowing the slave to hang his head. Homura pulled the boy up.
"Now, Kougaiji, the first thing I need you to do is clean the throne room. It's getting absolutely nasty in there. Go." Kougaiji got to his feet, wobbling a bit. Then he collapsed, chained hands not breaking his fall. Homura knelt next to him and turned him over.
"I forgot he hasn't eaten in probably three or four days. He's unconscious. Everything must have just hit him." Zenon picked the boy up and slung him over his shoulder.
"Where do you want him?" Homura thought a moment. A smile slowly crept across his lips.
"How about my quarters?"
Kougaiji woke slowly. He was lying on something soft. His hands were free, and there was FOOD next to him. Forgetting his slave predicament, he grabbed the meat and bread and started stuffing it down like there had been a year's famine. He forgot all rules of etiquette, all politeness as the pain in his stomach was abated.
"Feel better?" Kougaiji looked up to see Homura standing in the doorway. The slave dropped what was left of the food and scrambled off the bed, standing in front of Homura.
"Yeah, I feel better. What do you expect?" Homura walked to him quickly and slapped him savagely. Kougaiji hit the ground hard.
"You need to learn something, Kougaiji. I am your master. You are a slave. Insolence will not be tolerated from you. Do you understand?" Kougaiji growled at his master, only to recieve a harsh kick in the stomach. As he curled up, gasping, he heard Homura calling Zenon. As the orange-haired god came into the room, Homura kicked Kougaiji again before he even had his breath back.
"Take him to the throne room and make him clean it. He will learn to obey."
