Disclaimer: I do NOT own Mobile Suit Gundam Wing and it's characters. If I did there would be at least another 49 episodes extra, and Milliardo would appear more often ;)

Previous time:

Treize had just taken his pants on when someone knocked.
'Your Excellency, I have something of you.' Said Nathan.
'Come in.' answered Treize.
When Nathan came in the Arian smiled.
'Where did you find that stray cat? If I remember right I already have one.' He teased.
'Okay, okay, I get the point.' Said Milliardo. 'Could you let go of my tail now?'

Chapter 2

'Okay, okay, I get the point.' Said Milliardo. 'Could you let go of my tail now?'
'You can let go of him Nathan. He won't try anything stupid, will he?'
Nathan let go of the blonds tail. 'By the way, breakfast is ready sir.' He said.
'I'll be down in a few seconds. Could you bring Milliardos breakfast here?'
'Of course your excellency.' Said Nathan and left.
'Come here.' Ordered Treize
The blond reluctantly obeyed.
'Nathan was stronger than you thought, wasn't he?' asked Treize continuing taking his clothes on.
'Much stronger than I expected yes.' Said Milliardo climbing in bed again.
'You know…Nathan wasn't always my butler…' said Treize chaining his slave again. 'He was captured in the war. Though
he didn't gave up without a fight. He has a black belt, so he gave me quite some trouble.'
'He has a black belt? How did you win of him then Master?'
'I'll ignore the fact that you don't think I'm strong enough to beat someone who's very good at karate, but I had a sword, he
had nothing, and was exhausted. He had murdered half of my crew when I saw him for the first time. The duel didn't even last
five minutes, he was too exhausted, but I must admit that if he hadn't fought before he fought me I would've lost.'
'But I surrendered myself.' Said Nathan when he came in the bedroom. 'I was held captive during the rest of the war. When
the war ended I got the offer to stay alive, as a servant, or die.'
'I would've chosen death.' Said Milliardo bitterly.
'Now, now, what a rash decision.' Said Treize 'Are you so eager to die?'
'No, but everything is better than being someone's slave, someone's puppet.'
'But there's one difference between you and Nathan.' Said Treize patting the blond on the head. 'Nathan isn't a slave. He's a
servant, my butler.'
'But mostly war captives are killed or turned into slaves, not servants, aren't they?' asked Milliardo confused
'True.' Said Treize. 'But at that time I already had a slave.'
'O…and where is he now?' asked the teen carefully, starting with his breakfast.
'She.' Corrected Treize. 'I freed her not so long ago.'
'Am I the only one here at the moment?' asked the teen.
'Slave, no, bed-slave, yes.'
'Shall I ask him to come over?' offered Nathan.
'Only when he's not busy with something.' Answered Treize.

Milliardo continued with breakfast. Just when he was finished a boy with long brown hair covering one part of his face, came in.
'You requested me Master?' he asked politely.
'Yes, I want you to meet Milliardo. Milliardo, this is Trowa, Trowa, meet Milliardo. Trowa takes care of all the animals
around the house.' Explained Treize to the blond.

He's cute…those eyes…they're beautiful…dreamed Milliardo.

'When you want to take a ride on one of the horses, you can ask Trowa to help you.'
'I can take a ride?' asked the blond surprised.
His voice…is charming…and those ice blue eyes…he's very pretty…
'Of course you can.' Said Treize smiling. 'I'll leave you two alone so you can talk. I have to go to the airport. I'll be away for
the week. If you need help kitty, just ask Nathan or Trowa.' He said kissing the blonds forehead.
'I will Master, bye.'
'O, and Master?' asked the brunette
Treize turned o his younger slave. 'Yes?'
'Where have you left the key to the chains?' asked the brunette.
'On the usual place. But there are still two days left for him.'
'Don't worry. I won't free him to soon.' Said Trowa smiling. 'Just in case…'

'Any change you're going to help me?' asked Milliardo when Treize had left. He leaned against the headboard, looking at the
boy in front of him.
'Maybe.' Answered Trowa. He sat down next to Mil on the bed. 'May I?' he asked reaching his hand to the older teens ears.
'Sure.' Sighed Milliardo. In time he got used to people touching his ears when they first saw him.
Trowa gently touched the blonds ears. 'Just like real cats ears… Have you always been a neko-jin?' asked Trowa leaning against the headboard as well.
Milliardo shook his head. 'Just a few years.'
'I see…'
The two boys were quiet for a while.
'Master Treize…what kind of person is he?' asked Milliardo to break the silence.
'He's a fine person to live with as long as you keep to the rules. He won't hurt you unnecessary, if that's what you're worried
about.' Answered the brunette sincerely.
'And…in bed?' asked the blond carefully.
'That's not a question you should ask me.' Said Trowa kind. He looked over to Milliardo and said: 'Hey, don't worry. Just don't fight him. You're gonna have one sore butt if you do.'
Milliardo smiled faintly. 'Thanks, I guess…How long have you been a slave?'
'Almost five years. Master Treize caught me when I was twelve.'
'Caught you? How?'
'Well…'

Flashback

A.C. 191
The Alliance had gained control a few years ago. Little Rebel groups had formed from the beginning, but there were two new,
bigger groups. One of them was OZ. The other groups didn't have a name. It worked mostly in the underworld, and often succeeded to attack the Alliance. Both the Alliance and OZ were searching for that group. The Alliance wanted them to get rid of them, OZ wanted to make them their allies.
Trowa was part of the 'unknown group' and although with the age of twelve, he was one of the most important persons in the
U.G. He was very bright for a boy his age, he was very athletic and with his looks he could fool the enemy perfectly.
There was only one enemy he couldn't fool.
The U.G. had planned another assault. But this time the assault wasn't directed at the Alliance, but at OZ, to make clear to them that they didn't have the word 'cooperation' in their dictionary. The mission backfired. One of the U.G's was a traitor for OZ.
'Triton! Come back! Abort! We have a traitor amongst us. I repeat, ABORT!' heard the boy in his ear microphone.
'No way! I'm to close to the colonel to go. Over and out.' He made his way to Treize's office, managing to avoid guards or
video cameras.
'Triton! Abort! NOW! If you don't you'll be ki…….' The man who tried to contact Trowa was killed.
Trowa was foolish enough to smash in Treize's office and start a fight.
'Boys your age shouldn't be here.' Said Treize pointing his gun at the teenager.
'And you shouldn't interfere with our battle with the Alliance!' the boy snapped. He approached Treize.
'Surrender if you want to stay alive.' Warned Treize removing the safety of the gun.
'I'll never surrender!'
Treize shot, Trowa dodged.

He's fast…this might get difficult… thought the colonel.

Trowa dodged all bullets until Treize ran out of them. Not thinking clearly Trowa approached Treize immediately with a knife
ready in his hand. He didn't know that Treize held a sword behind his back. Treize cut Trowa in his upper arm so the boy let his knife fall on the ground. He held him on the ground with his sword on his throat.
'Go ahead. Just kill me.'
'You aren't one bit afraid to die, are you?'
'If I was I wouldn't be here in the first place. Now get it over with.' He said closing his eyes.
Treize kept his sword on the teens throat and cuffed his hands on his back.
'It would be a waste killing you…'he said retrieving his sword. 'And don't try anything stupid.' He said pulling the boy on his knees. Trowa gave Treize a death-glare but didn't say a thing.

End Flashback

'Bummer.' Remarked Milliardo.
'You bet…but that wasn't all…The first year I was just a prisoner, but after that year he took me here. He decided to make
me his slave.'
'But didn't Master Treize already have a slave back then?'
'A few months after he 'degraded' me he bought her…Anyway, my first two years of being his slave were awful…'
'What did you have to do then?'
'Keep him company.'
'But I thought you didn't…you said I shouldn't ask you…' said the blond confused.
'That's because I fought him. I fought every single second. It hurt, yes.' He said immediately when he saw the concerned look on the oldest teens face. 'But in the end I somehow persuaded him to let me become 'just a slave.' But that was after long talks and…sessions.'
'Pore you…How's your 'relationship' with him now then?' asked Milliardo interested.
'Good I guess. He treats me well, doesn't force me into anything. And I just treat him as a slave should treat his master, with respect and loyalty.'
'I don't think I'll ever treat any of my masters like that.' Said Milliardo stubborn and a bit annoyed. He lay down on his back.
'Not all people are bad Milliardo. Give Master Treize a chance. You'll change your mind in the end. Trust me.'
'Easier said than done. You know what I don't understand?' he added after a few seconds of silence.
'Hit me.'
'You were born as a free person and yet you gave in to Treize…' said Milliardo turning on his stomach, chin resting in his hands, tail swaying from left to right. 'I was born as a slave, so technically I don't know how it is to be free, but even so, I never give in.'
'Are your experiences with your previous masters that bad then?' asked Trowa stroking the blonds tail.
Milliardo purred. 'Sorry, what did you say?' he asked
'If your experiences were that bad…'
'No!' said the older teen immediately. 'I don't want to talk about it.' He quickly added.
'Sure, that's fine with me.' Said Trowa smiling, taking the blond on his lap. The blond stiffened but relaxed immediately.
'Trowa?'
'Yes?'
'Now often…Master Treize?'
'I don't know exactly. I share my bed with him about once a month, but I'm different than you are…'
'I thought you didn't want to go to bed with him?' asked the neko confused.
'It's the least I can do to thank him for changing me more a servant than a slave. You probably don't want to hear it, but Master Treize is good. If you don't fight him you will enjoy it, I'm sure.'
Milliardo hmphed and closed his eyes, but still remained resting on Trowa's lap. They sat on the bed until dinner. They hardly spoke, the only thing that could be heard were Milliardo's purrs. Trowa had found a spot on the blonds stomach that was very sensitive, and he kept stroking that place.

Nathan came to call Trowa.
'Dinner is ready Trowa.' He said.
'Could you bring it op here together with Milliardos?' asked the brunette.
'Of course. I'll be back in a few minutes.'
'You don't have to stay with me you know…' said the blond looking Trowa in his eyes.
'I know. But eating alone isn't any fun.' He said smiling. He brushed his fingers through Milliardos hair, making him purr,
again.
A few minutes later Nathan brought dinner.
The two boys ate in silence.
'How long did Master Treize give you?' asked the youngest of the two all of a sudden.
'You mean at night?'
The brunette nodded.
'Three weeks, why do you ask?'

Three weeks! He gave me three days, and she got a week…I wonder…did he give three weeks because…

'Hello! Earth to Trowa!' remarked Milliardo.
'Huh? What? Sorry, what did you say?' asked Trowa innocently.
'Never mind.' Said the blond smiling.
After a short time of silence Trowa said: 'I'd better be going. The horses still need to be fed.'
'Now already? Can't you stay a little longer?' said Milliardo with huge shiny eyes.
The brunette smiled. 'I've been here since this morning and the horses really should be fed.'
'Will you come back? It's boring all alone.'
'That's part of the punishment, but sure, if you want to. I'll be back in an hour or so.'
' 'key, thanks Trowa.'
'No prob.' He said and left the room.

Why am I so attracted to him? I can't fall in love with him…He's Master Treize his pleasure slave…he's the only one who should…I have to try to get him out of my head…

JUST GREAT! Just two days here and I've fallen in love with another slave! No doubt he'll sell me if he finds out….but I can't just go and ignorer my feelings that easily

About an hour later Trowa returned.
He found Milliardo half asleep. He softly closed the door behind him and walked over to the bed. He was covering the blond
with a sheet when he saw that Milliardos hand had changed into paws.
'He's transforming?' He gently woke the blond up.
Milliardo yawned. 'Hey, you're back…' he said rubbing his eyes, immediately seeing paws.
'What! I shouldn't be transforming…what date is it?'
'August 13th…'
'The thirteenth? I thought it was the third…Great…a well…I can't stop the transformation…'
'Is it normal that your hands change first?' asked the youngest concerned.
'Yeah…it won't take long until I'm fully transformed… and seeing my paws it'll be a white panther again…'
'Do I have to help with something?'
'No, that won't be necessary, thanks for offering anyway.' Said Milliardo. Suddenly his eyes changed and the rest of his body
started to change as well…After less than fifteen seconds a white panther laid on the bed.
'Wow…you're beautiful.' Said Trowa stroking Milliardo.
'Thanks.'
'You can talk? Amazing!' said Trowa excited. 'How often do you transform?' asked Trowa admiring the with panther lying
on the bed.
'Every full moon…and sometimes on free will…'
'Cool… Just a sec, I'll be right back.' Said the brunette suddenly and left.
'Hey!…a…whatever…'Milliardo rested his head on his paws and waited for Trowa to return.
After a few minutes of waiting the panther got bored and started chewing the chains.
'Don't bite the chains!' said Trowa when he came in.
Milliardo was startled. 'But Trowa, I'm bored…'
'I know. That's why I called Master Treize and asked if I could free you.'
'You did what?' asked the blond surprised.
'Master Treize gave me permission to free you, so you can spend the night as panther on your way.' He said searching for the
key in the nightstand.
'Wow, thanks…How can I repay you?'
'You don't have to.' Said the youngest unchaining him.
Milliardo jumped of the bed.
'You sure? What about I'll take you outside with me? Normally I prefer to be alone, but I think you'll find it awesome.'
'I'd love to! But won't I be spoiling your night?'
'No, not at all. I really don't mind.'
'O.k. then. I'll come with you.'
'Jump on my back then.'
'What!'
'Don't worry. I can handle your weight. It'll go faster when you're on my back.'
'Uh…okay…' Trowa carefully sat on Milliardo.
'Where should I hold you?' he asked unsure.
'Just grab something. But NOT my ears! Just grab some skin or my collar or something like that. And don't worry, you won't
hurt me.'
'If you say so…'

Milliardo first slowly walked in the direction of the door, making sure Trowa wouldn't fall off. When Trowa had find his balance the blond quickened.
He practically jumped down the stairs and almost bumped into Nathan.
'Trowa? What on earth?…'
'Don't worry Nathan. Milliardo transformed. We're going outside!' he yelled back at Nathan while Milliardo made his way
outside.
'You tow can't go outside when it's dark!' warned Nathan but the boys hadn't heard it.
