Ash's PoV

It must be hard being locked in a basement; confined to a dark, cold and lonely place; especially with no food! That's why I go to a coffee shop and pick up a coffee and a toastie for Clemont - cheese and tomato. His favourite. But the service - oh god, they could've been in slow motion honestly! Just getting the order nearly took half an hour or so - they had a problem with the coffee! Rushing back to my house, I wanna kill... but I can't. I've been out of the house for nearly 2 hours now (Korrina took up some time, I had to order the food, and I took a little detour to Clemont's room for a little bit to relax and get him some changes of clothes. I also wrote a little goodbye note to his father, which should stop people wondering where he is. Of course - I wasn't stupid enough to tell them that he was at my place - I said chase Clemont had gotten a bus and moved towns due to a ether opportunity to advance in science. I wrote it so it looked like Clemont himself had written it; we have really similar handwriting.) Wow; I've been busy! When I get home with the clothes and the food, the first thing I do is take it to the basement. Calling through the door, I yell:

"Clemont: I'm coming in. There's no point in trying to escape as you've seen that I'm a lot stronger than you. Move against the back wall." I can hear him call that he's already there, and sure enough, when I walk in he's huddled in the corner, trying not to cry. Oh my senpai...

"Hey: I got you some food, and here's a change of clothes." Clemont stares and yells: "You went in my room?!" I nod and say evilly: "Don't worry about it - I have permission!" I play the recording of Bonnie and the inventor goes pale. He looks at me and whispers; "I-If you touch her, I swear..."

"I would not dream of it - that would hurt you!" I say seductively, learning in to his face as I sit beside him. I grin as he begins to drink the coffe hesitantly; he closes his eyes and smiles at the taste of it. After he's finished, he took my hand whilst looking at me as he said strangely; "Is it bad that I missed you when you were gone?!" I shake my head and hold his hand: he doesn't pull away. This feeling between us... it's getting stronger!

"Do you love me Clemont?" I ask quietly. He trembles and looks at me, whispering; "I don't know! I shouldn't love you, but I might!" 'Be gentle Ash' I think as we sit closer together. He's clearly still scared of me but that's to be expected: I did kidnap him! Having an idea, I say: "Sit tight babe! I'll be back in a second." Running to my dark room, I rummage for my senpai box and when I find it, I take it to him. He looks shocked as I hand him the box, saying:

"You did this... all of it... for me?!" I nod as he looks in the box and - SHIT he found my enemy documents. I freeze as takes one out and reads aloud;

"Name: Lilia Shaw. Threat level: very high. Crush: my senpai confirmed, and possibly a keeper. Very smart but incapable of self defence. Eliminated? Check." He hands Lilia's small bit of paper back and asked incredulously; "How many of these are there?!" I sigh and say: "I've done it for everyone I thought would hurt you. Why do you think you stopped getting bullied by those 6th formers after school each day?! I took care of it; and I took care of you." Clemont stares at me and whispers: "Y-You really care about me?! I don't know what to say. Nobody's ever showed me this kind of affection before! It's nice... but still creepy and wrong.. but is it? You did it for the right reasons... I'm sorry for hiding my dealing. Let me be yours Ash!"

"Aww!" I whisper as he looks at me with adorable eyes and burrows his head in my chest, holding my arms for support. He's too cute for this world... I want to just lock him away where nobody can touch him! Oh wait... I've kinda already done that, haven't I?! Oops...

My senpai then tries to back away as he yells at me; "Why do you make me feel like this?! You're a BAD guy, yet you're almost so bad to me it's good! I'm so conflicted... and I want to hate you but I can't! I love you... I want you!" He began sobbing into my chest so I grin and say: "Now; don't go telling me that if it's not true! I only want you if you truly love me!" He nods his head and stammeres: "I... I do."

I laugh maniacally as he looks at me with a devoted look, saying:

"Ash... how can I serve you?"


My senpai is mine now! Oh wow... I could only dream of it before, but as he's laying doen with me on my bed, I feel... complete! I showed him my house as he's doing well, but I have to test his love to check that in not getting played. Having an idea, I roll him over so he's facing me: I look at him and say:

"I have a task for you to prove your love for me! Will you do it?" He looks at me strangely and replies: "Of course I will!" I get out of bed and take his wrists: I tied them together so he wouldn't hurt himself by doing something stupid: we also tried a gag on him, but it didn't suit my senpai at all, so we left that in the basement. He's like my own little pet but he needs training before I let him walk without a leash.

We go to the kitchen and he stares into my eyes, asking in his adorable cute manner: "Ashy; what is it that you want me to do?!" I grin and say: "Look; I don't want to find out that you lied to me! I want you to do something awful in my name to prove you'll go all the way - I want you to kill someone." He stares at me before closing his eyes and saying: "For you, I would do anything! Do you have someone in mind?!" I stare at him, trying to fighter out what the catch was, untill I have a slight suspicion about something.

The coffee.

He only began acting like this after he drank it! Looking at him, I ask him sweetly; "Babe, will you go back to the basement? Let's call it your room..."

"I wil go wherever you tell me Ash!" He replies as he bows and runs off. I run along to the coffe shop and went up to the lady on the desk, asking:

"Hi. Were you working here today 5 hours ago please?"

She doesn't get a chance to answer before another voice said: "No - I was." I turn abruptly to see a girl with the lightest blond hair, and black eyes. She extends a hand and I see all sorts of rings on her fingers.

"I'm Lillie! Let me tell you about your order." She said, dragging me to a seat. I look at her and said: "What's with the coffee?" She giggles and said: "I was hoping you'd figure it out! You see, I've always interested in myths and magic. My brother too! I happened to see you watching your Senpai so I began watching you - just in case you needed a little... help. I slipped a love potion in the coffe - I assumed you were giving it him. The spell was so that you'd drink the coffee and feel devotion to the first human you look at. I trust it was successful? That's all I have to say really. Oh yeah - I forgot. It wares of after 24 hours each time, but providing that he has is 7 days in a row, he'll be under the effects permanently. Would you like a supply?"

A way to make my Clemont love me clever?! It's too good to be true, so I asks suspiciously; "What's in it for you?!" Again, she giggles lightly. I'll admit - she's cute! If I weren't living for my senpai, I might have even asked her out!

"I just want to see you two happy! I've seen the sacrifices you've made for him, and I don't want your efforts to go I rewarded. But... there is something I'd like..."

"Anything!" I say, waiting for some kind of demand. She looks at me and said:

"I need some sacrifices for a ritual. 5 will do nicely. Can you help me get some please?!" She states intensely at me so I nod: she grins and hugs me tight, saying: "Thank you Ash!" I don't ask how she knows my name: instead I smile at her and say: "I'll have the bodies to you as soon as possible: where should I drop them?"

"You know behind this shop, there's an incinerator? If you hide them nearby, nobody but me really goes there."

Again, I nod and she hands me some bottles of red liquid. I grin and say; "So, do I have to use them - "

"After each dose wears off, yes. Using a potion when he's always under the effects will just be a waste, and it will harm him. Be careful!" She warns. I grin and slip them into my coat pocket - wwe shake hands, and I return home, to check on my little senpai...
