Severus sighed as they ate breakfast the next morning. Again his little bunny, Aya is still dressed in his bunny footie from the last chapter, was scared of him and trying to keep his distance. He stared at the boy hard. Aya finally looked up with tears running down his face.

'God dammit.' Severus scolded himself. 'This isn't fair his crying face is just to cute! Everything about him is just too cute! '

"What is it?" Aya shook his head and sniffed he went back to his food. "Why are you crying, Aya? Do you not like your Pj's?" he knew what the problem was. He was the problem in the span of four days he'd raped the child twice. He lit a cigarette. " I told you I wouldn't be able to control myself didn't I?"

"I was wondering if you even bothered to try." Aya replied, then got up and ran into the bedroom and slammed the door. He ran into the bathroom and locked himself in. He curled into a ball in the bathtub to hide. He knew it was stupid but he'd always hid in the tub when his parents fought. "That was stupid. i'm an idiot. He's my master now I can't talk to him like that. He's going to punish me by doing it to me again when he comes back. I just know it."

Severus stood at the door and listened to the boy talk to himself. He sighed to himself. He was doing that a lot lately. He took the elevator down to his office. Sirius and Remus greeted him.

"Remus , I have a new job for you."

"Sir?" Remus blinked, "A job?"

"Just for today you're going to be running around town picking up things for me." Remus let out a sigh of relief he thought he was being reassigned like their friend James had been. "Keep your phone on but for now." he had been writing a list as he talked he handed it over. "Go get these things for Aya. The best money can buy spare no expense. "

"Sir." Remus blinked stunned he looked at the list and smiled lightly. "Right away , sir. Shall I deliver them as well?"

"Yes." Severus replied getting to work. " I don't want strangers going up there he's rather fragile right now and scared of his own shadow at this point."

Remus gave a sharp nod and left.

Aya stared awake and peeked out of the tub blinking he'd heard noise in the room. He got out and padded over to the door. He unlocked it and heard something drop then footsteps as he opened it he saw the bedroom door close except for a crack. Aya's eyes got huge and he ran to the pile of books that looked as if they'd been dropped. He grabbed one and was soon on his stomach reading. It was Sherlock Holmes.

He was soon so engrossed he didn't see Remus open the door just wide enough to put a small speaker down. He turned it on and JPop filled the room. Aya's feet were soon kicking to the beat. Remus smiled and left.

"I thought I told you to cater to my every whim today, Remus." Severus replied without removing his foot from a mans head. The man was James Potter who was obviously begging once again to be transferred back to this building to work. "Why are you here?"

"To hand in my report." Remus replied, acting ever the professional. " Aya, came out of his hiding place when he heard me it looked as if he had fallen asleep. " Remus kept the comment about the bunny Pj's to himself. " He spotted the books I dropped in my haste to keep him from seeing me. He is now reading Sherlock Holmes. I was able to put his new stereo in I had preprogrammed it to a JPop station as it's very popular now a days. He is happily enjoying himself at the moment ."

"Good ." Severus replied, "Good, " he pulled his cell phone out and sent something. "Now that's your next task and they had better be in proper Japanese or it will be your head. Now excuse me I must get back to my torture ."

"Sir!"

Remus turned and left.

Remus peeked into the room Aya was still reading his feet still kicking to the beat. Only this time he looked at the door. He crawled over and turned off the music. Remus slid a bag of food into the room .

Aya blinked at it but opened it. He pulled out a can of juice and some Alfredo in a take out container another container had steamed veggies.

"Thank you." he said and sat down to eat. They had even got him chopsticks for this meal too. He began eating. Not caring that someone was sitting eating lunch on the other side of the door. "What are you eating, Remus?"

Remus almost chocked on his Alfredo.

"How did you know it was me?"

"You seemed the less intimidating of the two I have met that work here." Aya replied, "So I assumed he must have sent you."

"I'm having the same as you." Remus replied, though he didn't move to join the boy in the bedroom. "He really isn't that bad."

"You are saying that out of obligation." Aya countered. "Plus, you should not speak of matters you know nothing about."

Remus smirked to himself. How many times had he heard that from Severus through the years.

"True enough." They ate in silence. Aya passed his trash back to Remus. "Okay, here's you next batch of gifts." He passed a bag of books into the room. "I hope they are right. I have to go now."

"Okay." Aya called back, "Thank you for working so hard."

Remus started a bit. That was something Remus hadn't said in years. He smiled a bit as he headed for the elevator the only way out of the apartment. His last thought before getting on was that he hoped that Aya could change Severus for the better.

Where should I have James be working at?

1. Severus owns a sex slave business and James manages it.

2. Severus owns a sex slave business and James works as body guard.

3. James is working at Severus' Otaku store

4. James is working as body guard for Severus' Cafe where everyone is men who cross dress.

Severus takes various forms of payment including businesses and turns them into successful businesses. Weather Severus sees it like this or not he really runs something akin to a mafia and he is the Godfather. That's how I see it anyhow.
