Hey guys sorry I'm late with this chapter, I know it's short so I'm sorry about that. But unfortunately I'm having a stressful time with school now starting and a new tennis tournament too. So from now on I'll be a little late with chapters and might have to do them on weekends. My bad but that's how it goes. Oh and for all you 07-ghost fans you should go to my profile and read my new co-written story! It's awesome so far if I do say so myself.
And I have the ever lovely Lord Kharl to thank for that! Ha-ha she's such a great person and a spectacular writer too.
Well anyway on with the chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own Natsume yuujinchou
Matoba watch as Natsume slept, his poor bird had been sleeping for three days now. He had not minded though it gave him the chance to watch Natsume without his bird's timideness affecting his actions. It gave him the chance to see Natsume with his guard down.
If Natsume were awake right now, he would probably be sitting quietly glancing at anything but Matoba himself.
That's what Matoba didn't like, He liked to be all Natsume saw or thought. Matoba though thought his next plan would teach Natsume a lesson though. One he would never forget.
Humans aren't so kind in the face of something they can't understand.
When Natsume's school experience was over he was sure his bird would never leave his nest without Matoba.
After all Natsume was his, and no one was going to get in the way of that.
Natsume shifted in his sleep, he didn't want to be awake yet. If he were to wake-up now He would see Matoba.
Natsume wanted to be normal. He wanted to be free, but Matoba would never let him be free.
Natsume decided then he would reluctantly wake-up, he would play it quiet and not entice Matoba's anger. But when opened his eyes Natsume didn't expect to see Matoba watching over him. He watched with weary eyes as Matoba leaned other to kiss his forehead.
Natsume flinched; he didn't know what to do. Not ever after a beating had Matoba been so nice. A gentle kiss meant something was up.
Natsume got his courage up and looked at Matoba, as the man pulled back from his kiss.
"Why? "Were the only words Natsume could ask? Matoba appeared to have been amused as he chuckled wholeheartedly.
After the man was done Natsume waited, he hoped he wasn't to be hurt again. Matoba while he needed Natsume for missions was never one to go easy Natsume EVER.
Matoba seemed to have noticed Natsume's tense posture and decided to take pity on him.
"Natsume do you want to hear something you'll like? "The man asked joyfully.
Now Natsume was on full alert, never had Matoba ever said those words. Natsume was now really frightened. Matoba had really cooked up something bad for him, something that would surely hurt Natsume in the end.
"Well Natsume, do you want to hear it or not? Or is it your too speechless to talk?" Matoba asked Natsume again. Natsume just couldn't form words, but he attempted to by opening his mouth.
Once again Matoba's deep laugh broke Natsume from his thoughts.
"Natsume I'm going to do something nice for you, okay? I'm going to send you to a human high school with other children." Natsume froze his entire body stiff from absolute shock. Never had he ever, thought Matoba would utter those words to Natsume.
Matoba looked at him with amused eyes, but said nothing as the two of them stared at each other. Natsume really thought Matoba was messing with him .so he did the only thing that came to mind, Natsume let it go. He no longer cared Matoba could hit him all he wanted after Natsume said what he needed to say.
"…Do you think this is funny? Don't you think you've messed with me enough, RAPED ME ENOUGH?!"Natsume had never talked, no yelled in his entire life. It hurt his throat; He coughed for a bit after saying yelling. His eyes hidden by his long bangs. He waited for Matoba to say something, to do something. But nothing happened, Natsume lifted his head.
Matoba was smiling at him, as if Natsume hadn't yelled at all.
"Are you done now? I must say you've never raised your voice to me Natsume, and let me tell you this Never do it again. "Matoba's face turned into one of anger at his last remark.
Natsume flinched and looked down again. He waited for Matoba to speak again; hoping hadn't angered the man too much.
"Now that we've settled that, Natsume you will begin school on Tuesday of Next week. From what I've gathered you're ahead of their classes." Matoba stated lazily.
(A/N: just a quick note I'd like to say in this story Natsume is home schooled, only because Matoba wanted him educated.)
Natsume nodded dumbly not knowing what to say, so instead he listened as Matoba talked.
" You will be not be alone though your homeroom teacher is one my servants .If you misbehave ,and I find out the punishments will be…severe." The words rolled off of Matoba's tongue easily.
Once again Natsume could do nothing but nod.
"Natsume this is a privilege, do not take it likely .I already don't like the idea of you out of my sight, much less miles away. "Matoba's voiced said roughly.
Natsume looked at him finally; he knew what he had to do. He knew the only way this would go smoothly was if, he followed Matoba's orders to the letter.
Natsume although he didn't want to speak, spoke anyway despite his own feelings.
"..Thank you…" tears ran down Natsume's eyes as he looked at Matoba gratefully.
Matoba looked shocked for a moment, before he smiled at Natsume and ruffled his hair.
Natsume smiled back as he looked at his lap again, finally something good was happening.
Matoba looked at Natsume smiling, he too smiled. Natsume was sure to obey him now; he was finally going to get what he never could get before.
Natsume's obedience, it was a glorious day for him. Soon Natsume would obey him unconditionally.
And as soon as Natsume was having fun at school, Matoba would rain down on him. He would make sure Natsume would cling to him; it was only a matter of time and patience.
Cliffhanger again! Ha-ha sorry guys and updates from this story may be slow , as I mentioned above a tennis tournament is staring and right now I have little time to write , but when I do ill surely update this first . I promise until then please am patient with me! *Bows*
