It's been a while, anyway, I don't own DearS or any of the DearS characters.

She's Just A Slave

Takeya presses the side of his face onto his fist as his elbow rests on the checkout counter of the video store. His eyes become half lidded as he stares straight ahead, lost in his thoughts…..

'Great,' Takeya thinks to himself,

'Four fun-filled hours of checking in and checking out movies. I really need to find a job that pays more, otherwise; I won't have any time to study. I won't be able to spend any time with Ren.'

Takeya opens his eyes a bit wider as a realization suddenly hits him.

'I want to spend time with Ren. Why should I? It's not like we're a couple or anything. She's just a slave.'

Back at Takeya's apartment.

"Honestly Ren, I don't know what to do with you," Miu lectures as she stands over the sink, washing vegetables.

Ren slowly walks over to the kitchen counter, picks up the metal strainer and starts examining the small holes with a look of intrigue on her face

"I agree that you are improving but what will you do when you stumble upon new situations," Miu continues, "You will not simply get by with the help of your ignorance."

Ren seems oblivious to the conversation that Miu is having with herself and places the strainer on her head after not finding any other use for it.

Miu turns to the left as she begins to look for the strainer.

"It is my duty to train you properly so that you may represent the DearS community in a dignifi……"

Miu pauses in mid sentence when she sees where the strainer disappeared to and begins to yell as she points to Ren's head,

"What did I tell you about that!"

Much to Ren's disappointment, Miu angrily walks up to her and snatches away her new hat.

While Miu begins to strain the vegetables, she barely hears Ren's soft voice say,

"Ren does not remember."

Miu turns her head to look at Ren and notices her sad face,

'This gives me the perfect chance to start my new plan for getting rid of Ren,' she calmly thinks.

" You don't remember! I can't believe you already forgot," Miu responds as she faces away from Ren.

'Here we go,' Miu thinks to herself with an evil grin on her face,

'She's like putty in my hands.'

Miu straightens up as she fights the threatening laughter working its way up to her throat.

"You know Ren," Miu begins

"If you are not able to retain the information that I am generously giving to you," Miu pauses as she turns to face Ren,

"You will not be able to please your master." She simply states.

Ren suddenly feels the urge to defend herself. She boldly walks up to Miu and states,

"As long as Ren does her best, Takeya will praise her."

Ren stands with her hands on her hips and feels confident that she will always do her best when it comes to Takeya.

SMACK!

Miu strikes Ren hard on the side of her face after visions of her dieing master run rampant through her mind.

'Doing my best wasn't enough for my master. My best didn't do a god damn thing.' Miu violently screams in her head.

Silence.-----

Only Miu's receding pants can be heard in Takeya's tiny kitchen as Ren brings up her right hand to nurse her stinging cheek.

As soon as Miu finishes collecting herself, she decides to continue.

"Do you know what happens when a slave can't properly please her master?" She sneers at Ren as she asks this question.

"No, Ren does not know," Ren says sadly as her cheek burns like fire

"Well then," Miu speaks in a sinister tone, "Let me instruct you what will happen if You Cannot Please Your Master," she emphasizes.

"You'll have to sever your certification rite with Takeya."

Miu taps Ren's crimson cheek and then begins to walk around the astonished Ren as if inspecting cattle.

"Perhaps," Miu begins as if deep in thought

"If you're lucky, you may even be chosen by another master who will accept you.

"With all of your defects," she adds.

"But Ren wants to stay with Takeya," Ren says loudly, her stinging cheek already forgotten as her eyes water and all of her thoughts go to her sweet and wonderful master.

"It doesn't matter what you want Ren," Miu says softly as she places both of her hands on Ren's face and caresses it.

"We are just slaves. Nothing more, nothing less."

Ren backs away from Miu and looks at her with puppy dog eyes

"Ren only wants to serve Takeya," Ren says to herself.

Annoyed once again, Miu sternly states to Ren,

"Don't you get it? If you can't properly serve your master then you will not be in his service. Is that simple enough for you to understand Ren?" Miu asks ready to end this discussion

"Understood," Ren sadly says. A lock of green hair slips off of her shoulder to her front as she slightly bows her head in submission to Miu.

Now satisfied, Miu says,

"Cheer up Ren, we need to get dinner started, we want Takeya to be pleased, right?"

Ren straightens up with a determined look on her face and happily says, "Yes, Ren will make Takeya the best meal he's ever had so that he will want Ren to stay with him."

"No! Miu yells as she comes up to Ren and covers her mouth roughly with one of her hands

"You can't tell Takeya about anything that we have spoken about tonight. Do you understand?" she asks in a troubled voice. "You will make this meal because he is your master. Not because you want to stay."

"But Takeya should know that Ren is going to try even harder to please him so that Ren can stay with Takeya," Ren says in a pleading voice as she clasps her hands with Miu's.

"No," Miu simply says, "You must proove yourself on your own, otherwise; you don't deserve to be Takeya's slave."

"Ren understands." Ren says as she walks hurriedly to the stove

"Ren needs to prepare Takeya's dinner before he comes home from work," she states to Miu as she begins filling a pot with water.

'Yes,' Miu thinks to herself in a sly voice

'Go make your precious Takeya his meal, but little do you know, I will be making most of it and he will surely see how inadequate you really are. AH HA HA HA HA!"

A/N

OK I only read through the chapter once for errors so pardon me if there are any. Also this chapter is not light like the previous ones but I kind wanted to make Miu more evil and this was the only thing that came into mind after my writers block. Thanks for the reviews.
