Chapter 13 - Seto's Question

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Seto awoke from the first good night's sleep he'd had in a while. Stretching his body, he sat up in his chair and decided to take a break from typing. Today was the day he was going to make his bunny tell him her power. Tristan told him that she had no abilities, but he didn't believe that.

Staring at his door, he hoped she would arrive soon.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Serenity clutched her filthy shift tightly. The frosty weather was getting colder, slowing her down as her joints froze. She took a deep breath and watched a puff of air come out of her mouth.

Looking up at the leafless trees, she fought to move forward as the wind blew her back. Of course, she didn't want to upset her master by being late.

Then she remembered what Tristan said last night. "I think you still have a crush on Moneybags." She thought back to her unspoken response. Why would I still have a crush when he doesn't even remember me?

The answer was simple. No matter how cruel Seto was, she liked how he was sensually torturing her. The way he lifted her chin and made her look into his eyes, and when she was on all fours, she did feel like a bunny. Fortunately, he didn't hit her… yet and she hoped he never would.

"I can make Seto remember, but how?" Feeling her body start to numb, she made a run for it.

He saw her catching her breath at the front gate. The security men opened the gates and she ran to her master. "I hope… huh… I'm… uh… not late," she panted.

"No. You are rather early," Seto saw she was shaking. Not caring that she was cold, he decided to give her, her first order, "Kitchen, now! I expect breakfast in my office in 15 minutes."

She bowed in respect, "Yes, Master."

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Hearing his door open, he looked to see Serenity carrying a tray. The aroma made his nose tickle. She set the plate that contained scrambled eggs, small sausages, hash browns, pancakes, and coffee in front of him. He took a bite of the eggs, which tasted as good as they looked.

"I hope the food is to your liking, Master."

The food is to my liking.

"To tell you the truth," Seto pulled her onto his lap, "I haven't had a home cooked breakfast in a long, long time."

Serenity was trying not to fidget on his lap due to the fact that she was anxious at her new position. Luckily, she didn't lean back, so the tension wasn't that bad. Clasping her hands together and placing them on her lap, she tried to keep her mind preoccupied on other things.

He leaned forward, that way her back was touching his chest, she lightly gasped. Looks like my bunny is thinking dirty thoughts. Seto smirked as he felt her tense just a little. He was to about to say something when he noticed blue-purple spots on her wrists. "What did Spike-boy do to you?"

"He asked me how you torture me, and I lied to him, Master," she replied.

"Oh? What did you say?"

"I told him that you torture me physically like he does, Master," she answered.

"I see." At least he won't be able to tell where I torture her physically since her body is full of wounds. Since he asked that question, I have a feeling that he's up to something.

Serenity tried to leave his lap, but his hands held her in place. "Don't you want me to do chores, Master?" she asked nervously.

Ignoring her question, he leaned close to her. "Bunny, I know what kind of power you have."

Does he remember my ability? Oh! He must! "I'm glad you remembered my ability to heal," she said excitedly.

Seto rose an eyebrow. Remembered? What exactly does she mean by that? "I didn't know you had a special ability."

"But-" she started, but realized she accidentally revealed her power.

"Why did you think I remembered this ability?" Seto asked curiously.

"I apologize, Master. You remind me of someone I knew when I was little," she tried her best not to panic.

"Really? Who was this person?" he asked.

"He and I used to play together when we were both at the Domino Orphanage. He had black dragon-like wings, brown hair, blue eyes... like you," she gulped as Seto's sapphire eyes locked with hers, "I wasn't able to fly, but he encouraged me and helped me."

"Are you sure this person isn't me?"

"You do look alike, but he was warm-hearted." she said.

Seto quietly made a fist and saw a flash of blood on them. He blinked and turned his hand over, but nothing was there. She saw him look at hand and became worried. "Master, are you okay?"

"Bunny, I need you to do a few things before you start doing your chores," he didn't hear her question as he continued observing his hand. "Go buy some fresh clothes. After that, wash up, and start cleaning."

Serenity got off his lap. I hope he's okay.

"Here is the money. Now, go!" he commanded.

"Yes, Master." She ran out of his office.

Woot! Serenity on Seto's lap! Woot!
