Trowa listened silently to his Master crying… for the third night this week… Quatre was in his bed, sobbing … Trowa's instincts kept telling him to go and soothe his master… but he couldn't. It would be breaking the rules the man in white had taught him before Quatre had bought him… the rules that were set to keep him alive.

Quatre was searching for someone, someone, according to Heero, was highly important to him. Trowa didn't know what the man's name was, but he knew that Quatre missed him greatly. Trowa slowly slinked over and whispered, "Master…?"

Quatre jumped slightly and looked at him, "Oh…Trowa…"

Trowa whined softly, looking worried, "Master…? Are you okay…?"

"Oh… Yeah, sorry for keeping you awake…" Quatre said softly, sniffling.

Trowa whimpered and said softly, "May I?"

Quatre smiled and nodded, "Come on, Trowa."

Trowa climbed into the bed and hugged Quatre gently, soothing him, "Everything will be fine, Master… You will find the friend you are searching for…"

Quatre smiled and yawned, "I know I will, Trowa. I have Heero, one of the best researchers out there helping me… and I have you there to support me." Quatre hugged him and fell asleep.

Trowa blinked and smiled at his Master, proceeding to curl up and fall asleep.

The next morning, Trowa awoke to Quatre going to take a shower. Trowa said, watching him worriedly, "…Master…?"

"I'm fine, Trowa. And thank you for comforting me." Quatre called, sounding happy.

Trowa smiled to himself, preening at Quatre's praise.

Quatre smiled and walked out of the bathroom, pulling a silk shirt on and a pair of khakis, "Come on, Trowa. Let's get some food."

Trowa nodded rigorously, smiling happily, "Yes sir!"

Quatre chuckled and walked off, leading his Pet down stairs; where Heero was feeding Max, "Is Max okay?"

"He's calmed completely now." Heero nodded, "He was awake before me."

"Really? That's odd…" Quatre said softly, "So, Max, are you feeling better?"

Max blinked at Quatre, his emerald eyes wide and slowly nodded, saying shyly, "Y-Yes, Sir."

Quatre smiled at Max, looking pleased, "Great. Trowa?"

Trowa looked up at him, his ears pointed in different directions, "Yes?"

"Could you help Max out today? Duo, Wufei, Heero and I have to go out town and buy some more food." Quatre smiled at him.

Trowa bowed his head, "Yes, sir."

"Thanks!" Quatre said, smiling happily.

Trowa nodded, smiling at him…

A few hours later, Max was lounging on one of the couches, his tail swinging back and forth a content expression on his face. Trowa walked over and sat down, staring at him, "So… you're finally talking?"

Max opened his eyes, yawning, "Why? Didn't do nothing to you."

Trowa snorted softly, "How do you know that? This is my home."

"….Mine too…" Max whispered softly, "Master bought me."

"Heero just bought you because my Master made him. He doesn't want you." Trowa said. He didn't understand why he was suddenly so defensive of the place he'd called home for two years… and he didn't really care.

Max's green eyes had widened in horror at Trowa's words, "W-what…? Master is so…so…kind…"

"Hmph. He's just waiting for the chance to kill you." Trowa said coldly, ignoring Max's whimper…and ignoring the fear of punishment wailing in the back of his mind.

Max's jade eyes were staring in horror at Trowa, part of him…the loyal part shrieking that his master wouldn't hurt him… another part, a part that was less loyal and trusting crying that Trowa was right.

Trowa watched the smaller Pet, a part of him that he didn't know existed pleased with the boy's reaction… this part of him was cruel and his Master would punish him for what he'd just done.

After a few hours of Trowa tormenting Max, Quatre, Heero, Duo, and Wufei walked in. Heero walked in first, and, upon seeing Max hiding behind one of the couches, walked over, "Max?"

Max whimpered and latched onto him, crying, "I not like him!"

"Who, Max? What's wrong?" Heero asked, worried, "What happened?"

Max's face was streaked with tears, his small body shaking, "Trowa! I not like him! He mean…"

Heero frowned slightly and glanced at Quatre, "Quatre?"

"I don't know Heero… I'll see if Trowa did anything." Quatre walked out of the room, leaving Heero to calm Max down.

Max shuddered and curled into a ball, sobbing softly, "Sorry, Sir…Max is bad…"

"Max… You didn't do anything." Heero said, now concerned, "What happened? Did Trowa say something to you?"

"T-Trowa say that Master hurt Max… Master kill Max…" Max whispered, shaking.

Heero stiffened, "What?! QUATRE!"

Quatre walked in, looking livid, "I know what he told him. And it's absolutely terrible. Trowa, get in here. NOW."

Trowa walked in, looking uneasy, "…."

"Tell Heero what you told me." Quatre ordered, looking angry.

Trowa looked down and said softly, "I told Max that you didn't care about him and that you would kill him when you got bored with him."

Heero's eyes flashed with rage, but he visibly restrained his rage, "Quatre? He's your pet."

"I'll handle Trowa. You take care of Max… Come, Trowa." Quatre said sternly, leaving the room.

Trowa whimpered softly and followed him.

Once they were gone, Heero kneeled down to Max, saying softly, "Max? I will not hurt you… No matter what Trowa says."

Max stared at him, whining softly, "Promise…?"

"Yes. I promise. I will not hurt you unless I have no choice." Heero said, "Alright? Now, get up."

Max nodded and stood up, whimpering softly, "Master…? Max is sorry…"

"It's fine, Max. Come on, let's get you something to eat." Heero said, standing up.

Max slowly copied him and whispered, "Master….? Will Trowa be punished?"

"Yes." Heero said, nodding, "He had been told to take care of you, not upset you."

Max looked down at his feet, then glanced back up, "And Max, sir?"

"You did nothing wrong." Heero said, "Come… You need some food and you shouldn't have to hear Trowa's punishment."

Max nodded slowly, looking down, "Yes sir."

Just as the two entered the kitchen, Max's ears caught the faint sounds of yelps echoing from another room…
