Okay, here is the next chapter. Sai might not appear yet, but he will. Don't worry.

I looked up at the white office building.

Godai and I had it knocked down and rebuilt two years ago, it looked much more professional and attracted way more customers.

I sighed as I walked in the front doors.

"Ah, Yako-san, good morning!"

I nodded in acknowledgment at our blonde eyed green eyed receptionist, Meiru-san.

It was really just a front though, all she did was turn away unwanted guests since Akane, being hair, wouldn't go down too well with customers and looking like you had no secretary was unprofessional.

I pushed the button on side of the elevator door and rested my head against the silver doors.

I was in no mood to be receiving clients, but I didn't want to leave Godai to drown in a sea of angry email reply's either. He didn't handle them too well and I didn't feel like losing customers today.

I almost fell in face first as the cool metal door slid out from beneath my forehead.

I sighed and rubbed my temples with one hand while pushing the floor button with the other.

I watched wearily as the number rose two. An electronic ding sounded from the ceiling and the doors slid open.

I walked out into a narrow hall and into the door across the hall.

"Godai," I started, but then something came rushing at my head.

I ducked to the side as it smashed into the wall and fell to the floor. Another one came at me, I caught this one and looked it over.

"A paperweight?" Yet another paper weight flew towards me and I grabbed this one as well.

"Hmph."

Wait, that voice...

"Your reflexes have improved slave."

My eyes widened. "Neuro?"

He peeked over the red leather couch. His eyes showed me his hunger.

"I am sensei's humble assistant!" He said mockingly.

I sighed and turned to look at the wall. There was a sizeable dent.

"Geez, that's going to have to be repaired." I turned towards an astonishingly calm Godai. Were his anger management classes finally paying off?

"Godai-san, would you go make me some coffee? I've had a rough day." Godai grunted as he got up.

"There's more comin' too, you've got enough clients to keep you going for a year."

I groaned.

Godai chuckled a little as he left.

I tossed the paper weights in my hands so that they landed upright in their respective positions.

I leaned over and grabbed the one on the floor and tossed it as I sunk into the couch opposite Neuro. It landed a couple inches off.

"Ah, I missed." I sighed.

I turned to look at Neuro. I saw a look of surprise on his face. "Neuro, what's with that expression,"

I twirled my finger at him as I propped up my arm on the couch. "It doesn't suit you."

He smirked. "Heh, You've gotten disobedient during my absence."

I turned to face the couch and folded my arms around my face. "Sorry." I mumbled into the couch.

I felt something descend on my back.

"Oh? It only means I'll have to train you again." Neuro's voice came from above me now. He was very obviously sitting on me.

Under any normal circumstances I would have been trying to shove him off while screaming bloody murder but I was so tired and, he was so..... warm....

"Oh is that all." I mumbled, my mind growing fuzzy, that was until Godai practically knocked the door down and marched in carrying the coffee in a very red looking hand and swearing under his breath.

I started up when he came in and Neuro made a quick escape to the ceiling as I slid out from under him.

He handed me my coffee with a scowl.

"Thank you, Godai-san" I said sipping the hot coffee and already starting to feel re-energized.

Godai grunted and stated sucking his burnt thumb.

"I have to go back to my office now, Yako." He said in a much calmer, but still brash voice.

"Yup, thanks for your help." I said cheerfully.

He slammed the door behind him.

Neuro released himself off the ceiling and I slid out of the way before he could crush me.

He seemed disappointed.

Suddenly his blank face came out and I heard claws unsheathe.

I prepared myself mentally.

Suddenly a gloved hand grasped my neck and lifted me up.

"Slave, I sense a mystery, you were lucky."

I nodded weakly and Neuro shoved me through the door, following me while chuckling sinisterly.

I was insanely happy, even through the torture.

I thought Neuro was gone, yet here he was, gripping me by the neck.

I was glad.

Do you think I made Neuro too soft? I hope not....

Review or Sai will kill you!
