Discaimer: the hell with the disclaimer, you all know…
Previous time:
Treize took Milliardo in his arms, and Trowa followed them to Treizes bedroom.
'Are you okay with sleeping together with me and Trowa, Milliardo?'
'Yeah, I don't mind.' He said, more asleep than awake.
Treize lay Milliardo down on the bed, and the boy immediately fell asleep. Treize and Trowa followed, both falling asleep rather fast as well...both cuddled close to the blond boy between them...
Chapter 11 (Not revised)
Milliardo woke up with a moan. Trowa smiled. 'Good morning love.' He said still caressing the blonds nipples with his fingers. The teen replied with another moan. 'Good morning to you too…' said Milliardo. He sat up, but immediately fell down on the bed because of a pain shot in his neck. 'Aw…Shit, that hurts.' He complained.
'What's wrong?' asked Trowa concerned.
'My neck…it's all stiff…reaction to my collar I think…'
'Shall I give you a massage?' asked Trowa kindly.
'Yeah, a massage would be great.' Said Milliardo. He rolled over on his stomach. The brunette placed himself on the blonds backside, and started giving him a massage.
'Your collar is in the way…' he said. 'Shall I ask the Master if I can take it off?'
'It can't be removed…not without the right tools that is.'
'Not removed? How come?' asked Trowa continuing the massage, only now the blonds back.
'Dermail…he let this collar be specially made for me. It can't be taken off without some tools, and there's only one way to do it. If its done on the wrong way…well…I don't really know what will happen, but Dermail told me it wouldn't be pretty…and I think it's best for me to believe what he said.'
'I see…Well…than we've got to ask the Master if he can send someone over to take your collar off.' He said smiling. 'C'mon. Let's go downstairs. I heard Nathan had planned something special for breakfast.' He kissed Milliardos collarbone and stood up from the bed.
'What about my massage.' Complained Milliardo teasing.
'You'll get it another time. I'm starving!' said Trowa.
The boys took more than fifteen minutes to dress, because they couldn't stop touching and kissing each other. 'I've missed you.' Said Trowa when they were both dressed, walking downstairs.
'I know. I'm sorry.' Apologised the blond.
'No, don't be sorry, I understand.' Said Trowa when they entered the dining room. 'Good morning Master, miss Noin,
Nathan.' He said.
'Milliardo! Wow, you turned back?' said Noin. She hugged the boy tightly. 'It's good to have you back.' She joked. 'So, I heard of your plans. You want me to stay a bit longer?'
'Plans?' asked Milliardo, still half sleeping. 'O, right, the kittens…yeah, if you don't mind Master?' Said the blond while sitting down at the table next to Noin and Trowa.
'Not at all. You can stay as long as you want miss Noin.'
'Thanks you your excellency.' She said smiling.
'By the way…' started Trowa. 'Do you know someone who can take off Milliardos collar? He really needs a massage…'
'A massage?' asked Noin. 'How come you need one there?' she asked curious.
'I…the collar…when I got zapped, it apparently wasn't that good for my neck muscles…' said Milliardo softly.
'Can't it be done where you've been trained Milliardo?' asked Treize.
'No, I don't think so. Dermail called someone special to make me this collar. If it's removed incorrectly it'll probably kill
me…He was afraid I would try and take it off…' he said while starting with his breakfast, not wanting to talk about it any further.
'Do you remember who put the collar around your neck?' asked Trowa.
'No, I was unconscious from the operations…that was the only time I didn't attack anyone who came near me…'
'Do you know who it was miss Noin?' asked Treize to the young woman.
'No, it happened before I started treating Mil. I could call Dermail…' she offered.
'You don't have to do that. I'll call him myself.' Said Treize. 'I was by the way already planning to get the collar switched with another. I'll ask some people I know.'
Treize first of all called Dermail, but as he already expected, the man didn't want to say a thing. 'It suicide if you take of the collar!' warned Dermail.
'Well, maybe I want to die.' Said Treize irritated. 'Just let me make my choices. Will you please tell me who made that collar around Milliardos neck?'
'Sorry cousin, but I'm not in the mood to tell.' Said Dermail and hung up.
Treize sighed.
Only one option left, cal the STI… (Slave training institute. Will be explained in myfinishedand soon to beposted sidestory)
He called the STI.
'STI, how can I help you?' asked a female assistant.
'I'm searching for the person who is in lead of the STI, can I speak to him?'
'I'm afraid that's not possible sir, he's in a important meeting at the moment. Can I leave a message?'
'No, that won't be necessary. Do you know when he'll be finished?'
'No sir, I'm sorry.'
'That's ok.' Said Treize disappointed. 'Thanks anyway, bye.'
Treize hung up and let himself sink deeper in the chair.
Great…now what…guess we have to go there to speak to him then…
The man rose from his chair and looked outside.
Trowa, Milliardo and Noin were playing outside again, just as a few days ago.
'He looks so happy now… I don't know if he can take it to go back to that place…' After a few minutes of watching the teens play he decided to call them inside. He opened the door to the veranda and called for them. A few minutes later all three of them came.
'Is something wrong Master?' asked Trowa while Noin and Milliardo were still chasing each other.
'No, nothings wrong. I just wanted to tell you that I'll be going to the STI in a few minutes. Milliardo?' he asked.
The blond froze. 'The STI?…why?'
'I called, and they said the man in charge was busy, but I didn't believe it. The only way to reach him is to go by. I don't
know anywhere else I could go for you collar.' He said.
'But… I don't think they can take it off either.' Said Milliardo, really not wanting to go back to that place, though it wasn't
really that bad when he was trained there.
'I understand you don't want to go there, but we've got to get your collar replaced.'
'Can't we wait just a little bit longer?' tried the blond.
'Delaying it is of no use love.' Said Trowa giving Milliardo a hug. 'I'll come with you if it makes you feel better.'
'Yeah, think so…still… I don't wanna go…' complained the boy hugging his lovers arm.
'Shall I come too?' asked Noin.
'If you want to. I won't mind.' Said Treize.
'Milliardo?' asked Noin.
'Sure. When are we leaving Master?' he added.
'Now. Nathan already drove the car in front.'
An hour of driving later. They arrived at the STI.
'This might take a while Nathan. I don't expect us to be back for at least an hour.' Said Treize as the teens got out of the car.
'Don't worry about it your excellency. I'll just wait here.'
'Thanks Nathan.' He said. 'Are you okay Milliardo?' he asked when he saw the blond stare at the building in front of them.
'Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Just remembered my first day here…Shall we go inside? I want it to be over quickly.' He said to his
Master.
'Exactly what I had planned.' Said Treize smiling.
When they were inside a young woman immediately came to them.
'How can I help you sir? Ma'am?' she asked, not including Milliardo and Trowa in her welcome.
'I want to talk to mr. Tubarov please.' Said Treize. He had asked Milliardo the man's name on the way.
'I'll see if he has time for you. If you could wait here…' she said nicely and left.
'I don't like her.' Said Trowa while hugging the slightly shaking blond. 'Are you okay love?'
'Yeah, I'm fine… I just don't have really good memories with Tubarov, that's all…' he said while his tail curled around
Trowa's wrist.
After a few minutes the woman came back. 'I'm sorry, but he wishes not to be disturbed at the moment.'
'Then when can he be contacted?' asked Noin before Treize could.
'I'm afraid I can't answer that miss.'
'Master?' whispered Milliardo. 'Ask for lieutenant Imes. He'll help.'
'Then if I can't talk with mr. Tubarov, can I see lieutenant Imes?' asked Treize making clear to the woman he was annoyed.
'Imes sir? If I may be bold, why do you want to speak with a trainer?' she asked curious.
'That's none of your business. Could you call him please?' snapped Noin.
'I'm sorry, follow me please.' She said leading them to a part of the building Milliardo recognised all to well.
'He's still using the same bedroom?' he wondered out loud.
'He trained you?' asked Trowa interested, still not letting go of his lovers hand.
'Yeah. He's quite nice.' Answered Milliardo.
'Lieutenant Imes? There's someone here who wishes to speak with you sir.' Said the woman knocking on the door.
'I'm busy.' He called. 'Tell him or here to wait.'
'Busy? Ma'am?' asked Milliardo to the woman. 'Do you know if he's changed his schedule?'
'No, he hasn't. Why do you ask?'
'Well, if he's training someone at the moment, that person would be in the training room at the moment. May I?' he asked approaching the door.
'You…I…' the woman looked at Treize. 'Sure.' She said while Treize gave her a death glare.
'Lieutenant?' called Milliardo. 'It's me, Milliardo. Can I come in please?' he asked. They didn't hear an answer at first, but suddenly the door swung open.
'Milliardo? Is it really you? Come in…you can all come in.' he said when he saw the group.
'Thanks Emma.' He said to the woman, making clear she could leave.
'Your welcome sir.' She said and silently left.
'Close the door behind you, would you miss?' asked Imes when Noin entered the room as the last.
'I can't believe it's really you.' Said Imes giving Milliardo a hug. 'You did change since the last time I saw you though…when you left you weren't as cute as you are now…and not to forget you have a Master who is perfect for you.' He said. He
directed himself to Treize.
'It's an honour to meet you your excellency.' He said shaking hands. 'I couldn't have thought a better person for Milliardo
than you sir.' He said.
'Well thanks.' Said Treize sincere.
'I'm Lieutenant Imes, but I'm sure Milliardo has told you so far.' He said smiling. 'Lucrezia Noin.' She said shaking hands.
'It's a pleasure to meet you.' She said politely.
'Likewise.' Said Imes. 'And you are..?' he asked holding his hand out to Trowa. The brunette was a little confused. He
wasn't used to people offering to shake hands with a slave.
'Trowa.' He said bowing slightly instead of shaking hands.
The blond trainer smiled. 'Don't worry, I'm not like other trainers. Anyway, what brings you all here?' he asked while ruffling
through Milliardo's hair. 'It's probably not because this little squirt here wanted to see me so badly.' He joked.
'No, actually, I wanted to talk with Tubarov, but he says he's too busy.' Started Treize. 'May I?' he asked while gesturing to
a chair in the corner, opposite of a desk.
'Of course. Have a seat. And that's Tubarov, he doesn't want to speak with anyone unless it fits him. I could call him, and say
it's about my slave…'
'That won't be necessary, I don't think Tubarov and I would come to an agree anyway.' Said Treize. Meanwhile Milliardo
sat down on the king size bed, and Trowa and Noin followed him.
'An agree?' asked Imes.
'Yes. I need to find someone who can take of Milliardos collar.'
'You need help with a collar? With a simple screwdriver any collar can be removed.'
'Except for the one Milliardo has. Do you know about a man called Dermail?'
'Who doesn't.' said Imes. 'I lost some good slaves to him, only to be brought back beaten and broken. Why do you ask?'
'He was once Milliardos Master. His third if I remember what he told me. He is the one responsible for him being a Neko-jin. During the operations to make him like he is now, he needed a stronger collar, because as you might think of Milliardo, he wanted to kill anyone near him at that time. I now need a way to remove the collar, but my dear cousin,' he said sarcastic. 'won't tell me who made that collar. I was wondering if you might know a way to get it off, since you've trained Milliardo for a while.'
'Maybe…I have to see the collar first. Milliardo? Could you come over please?' he asked.
'Sure, just a sec.' He said. 'Trowa, could you get of off me?' he teased.
'Only because you're needed…' said the brunette kissing the blond, and letting him go.
'Thanks.' Joked Milliardo and went over to Imes.
'Sit down on my lap.' Ordered Imes.
'Sure, but…why?' he asked while looking at Treize, asking for permission. Treize nodded and the blond sat down.
'I need to see what kind of collar you have…' he said removing the blonds hair. 'Man, you grew…you're heavy.' He joked, but his smile immediately disappeared when he saw the collar.
'Is there something wrong?' asked Milliardo, wanting to say "Master" out of habit. 'Lieutenant.' He said instead, when he noticed the blond man he was sitting on going quiet all of a sudden.
Imes hmmd. 'I don't think I can remove this collar.' He said softly giving the blond a small massage in his neck, seeing how tense the muscles were. 'It's a really difficult collar to remove. It must have hurt when it was put around your neck…' he said letting long blond hair fall back on the boys back.
'I…I was unconscious back then. I never knew Dermail changed the collar until the first time after I disobeyed him and he pushed some sort of button. I always had an electronic collar, but the shock that came that time put me out cold for over a week. I never tried to disobey him afterwards, but with my sudden change in hormones and blood, it was really hard not to.' He said. He felt two arms encircle around him, trying to comfort him. He leaned back in the warmth, welcoming the warmth he knew all to well.
'Do you perhaps know someone who can remove the collar then?' asked Treize, a bit uncomfortable with someone else holding his slave like that. In the meantime Trowa and Noin had come to Treize's side. Trowa stood behind his Master and lay his head in the mans neck. 'You still got me.' He whispered teasingly. 'Give those two a break.' He added.
Imes couldn't hear what Trowa said, but he had a slight idea, and he smiled.
'I'm sorry if I'm making you feel uncomfortable your excellency, by holding your slave like this. I just missed holding him.' He
said.
'Don't worry. I can share him.' Teased Treize back.
Milliardo laughed. 'That's the first time two men fought about me, other than who wanted to buy me…it doesn't feel that bad.' He joked.
'I think you spoiled him too much your excellency.' Said Imes. 'Anyway, you could try and go to the place Milliardo was before he was brought here…maybe they can help you out there.'
'O no, I don't want to go back there. If there's one person other than Dermail who I don't want to see again, it's Une.' Said Milliardo.
'Une isn't that bad, is she?' asked Imes. 'She was just doing her work when you were there, just as I did when you were here.'
'I know, still, I don't like her…' said Milliardo stubborn.
'Do you perhaps know someone else then?' asked Treize, not wanting to displease his blond slave any further. He found it even a miracle that Milliardo had agreed to come to the STI.
'I don't thi… o wait, maybe… I know someone who previously was a doctor in OZ. She was specialised with war slaves, thus also all different kinds of collars…I'll give her a call right away…Milliardo? Could you get of me please?'
'Huh? O, yeah, sure.' Said Milliardo standing up.
'Sally's residence.' Answered the woman Imes had mentioned. Imes had the phone on the speaker, so all could hear.
'Sally, it's good to hear your voice again.' Said Imes.
'Nice to hear your voice too Mike.' She said.
'Could you help me out? I've got a bit of a problem here.'
'A problem?' asked Sally. 'What's wrong? Is something wrong with your slave?' she asked
'No, ex-slave. You remember Milliardo?'
'The blond you couldn't stop talking about? Of course I remember.' She teased. 'What's wrong with him?'
'Nothings wrong with him, his Master asked me to remove his collar, but I can't. I thought maybe you can. It's one of those special ones… Only twenty of them around the world and colonies.' Stated Imes dryly.
'That one? Has Dermail been his Master of something?'
'In fact, yes, he has.' Anwered Imes.
'O, sorry about that. I'll come immediately. I'll be there in about half an hour.'
'Thanks Sally, I really appreciate it.'
'No prob. By the way, who's his Master now? Not someone like Dermail, I hope.'
'No, not at all. I think you might even know him.'
'Know him? Who is he?'
Imes lay his finger on his lips, making clear he didn't want Treize to tell. 'I'll tell you one thing, you once, indirectly, served under him. Thanks for coming over.' He said and hung up.
'Still the same tease as you were a few years ago.' Said Milliardo hugging his old Master from behind. 'You never change, do you?'
'Nope, should I?' he asked a bit too innocently.
TBC
OMG! This chapter was such a pain to write! I really was stuck this time, anyway, srry for the delay! At least it's a bit longer than all the other chapters…
I won't be updating any time soon I think…the exams are coming up, and if I don't pass them I don't think I want to live anymore XD So, it might take quite a while for the next chapter. The side story is slowly coming along, might post it before my summer holidays start in a few months, but I won't promise anything.
Next chapter:
Sally comes by and with a lot of effort manages to take the collar off. But with taking the collar off Milliardo has to tell about one more thing about the tortures he went through with Dermail.
I'll maybe even let Trowa and Milliardo start the prosess of trying to get kittens, not sure yet, depends on the length of the chapter….
BTW! Does someone know how long it takes for cats before the kittens are born? I thought a few months, but I don't know for sure…………
O, one more thing… I NEED NAMES FOR THE KITTENS!
I have one already, thanks to El Terrible Fizzy : Frannin…. (I really LUF that name :D) but I was planning on four kittens…not sure yet how many boys and girls… I could use a little help!
One more thing…(again? Yeah, again.) I was thinking of letting Quatre appear as well, but I'm not really sure yet about how to let him appear. I had planned to make him a Neko, just as Milliardo is, but I still need a way for him to come in touch with 'the gang.' Any suggestions?
I think that was all…no wait! One more thing (REALLY!) Thanks for all who took the time to review. It really helped me out!
SIDESTORY PART APOSTED!
"SAVE THE TEARS FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT"
Might not be on FFN yet, depends on how fast they are…
