New chapter, finally. Simple but essential :P

"Ah-ah-" came her hoarse gasps.

Her body rocked with the steady thrusts of her servant. His gentle hands were firmly holding her arms above her head as he sinked lower and lower inside of her. Amshel and Joel watched from the end of the room as the servant rutted Saya. It was only an experiment to them.

His pale skin dripped sweat onto her thighs causing a wet sound to ring in her ears as he continued to penetrate her. The snake that stretched inside of her was growing thick and stiff making her squirm and pant harder. Suddenly it softened as release came and flooded her being. It leaked out onto the two which was when he understood he need stop. As he began to sit upright he felt her teeth sink into his wrist.

"Nnn-Saya...?" came his startled voice.

She batted her lashes before letting go, "Why did you stop?"

"Hagi isn't here to play with you, my dear. He is simply helping us check to see that you are well."

"If I am well?"

"Procreating is essential, my dear." Amshel said with an indifferent expression.

"Oh... but wait- I thought this was-"

"If you are looking for affection, I'll see to it that it is from someone of higher quality. Not a servant we attained in exchange for a loaf of bread."

Hagi stood up looking at the teeth marks she left in his flesh and then down at her. She appeared to be let down. He was only following orders... It wasn't his fault.

"Hagi! Hellooooo?"

He shook free of his daydream and turned to see Kanade looking down at him. Her eyes were full of concern and she was still in her pajamas... Oh-it was still night time. He had lost track having been indoors for a few days.

"...?"

"Why don't you play with us anymore?"

"What?"

"You don't take us to school, you don't come to our meets, you don't even tuck me in."

"You're in high school."

"Gigi!" she snapped.

"...I know." He stiffly rose to his feet and rubbed his forehead with the back of his hand.

Without warning, she took hold of his deformed hand and led him upstairs. When they were in the doorway of the bedroom he pressed his forehead to the wall. Saya was sleeping in her bed.

"She won't move her lazy butt." she whined.

"Why weren't you in bed before her?"

"Uhh..."

"Don't sneak out if you're going to be home after 10 at night."

Kanade swallowed realizing her teen tendencies hadn't gone unnoticed. "Yes sir."

He rested a hand on her head and then left the room. Hagi let her into Saya's room. He usually hated when anyone but he or Saya were in there but at the moment he was fighting himself free of his attachment. Obviously she couldn't recall him behaving as her faithful Chevalier. Maybe he needed to just act on his own wishes.

Kanade pulled a blanket off of the bed and laid on the floor. Hagi raised a brow and nudged her with his foot.

"Stooooop, I'm trying to sleep."

"On the floor?"

"I know you wouldn't like it if I used her bed."

"..."

"Huh?"

The man sat down on the side of the bed and tapped the mattress, gesturing an invitation to join him. She hesitantly got up and crawled onto the bed before kissing him firmly on the cheek.

He closed his eyes and laid her down with her head in his lap. After gentle caresses, she dozed off. He couldn't help but wonder why Saya was asleep. She started falling asleep earlier and earlier... It couldn't just be him acting paranoid. Was he already running out of time?
