"I will not be selling Aya back to anyone." Severus sneered at the man. " there is no way. I payed for him so he is mine. " he glanced over at the boy. He was now reading to James who kept pointing to the pictures. "The boy is mine. " He could see Ishi watching his son. "You wanted your son didn't you, Ishi? Did you want him to love his daddy more than anything? Did you plan on being his first?"

"That's gross he's my son!"

"Not your biological one though is he?" Everyone in the room froze and he felt Aya take his hand. He held it. " Aya isn't your real son. Your wife was unable to have children or more like you weren't able to get it up when with her so you adopted a baby that was born right here in London. I say this because I know who Aya's real mother is. I also know what you did to your wife. " As if on cue the door opened and a woman in a kimono was escorted in. "Aya, look."

Aya's eyes got big and tears began falling.

"Okaachan!" he ran to her and slammed into her hugging her. "Okaachan!"

"Aya!" she fell to her knees hugging him. "Oh, Aya. I thought I'd never see you again."

Aya bawled into her shoulder and Severus felt a pang of jealousy. He doubted Harry would ever want to be around him so much or cry for him if they'd been apart for a long time.

"I will however play for Ishi." Severus continued. " I plan to have him pay off his debt. You may choose the game."


"Eh?" Aya pulled his mother over to Severus as they sat at a poker table. "But, what if they rigged the deck? What if they count cards? You should get a never before opened deck of cards and get an impartial person to shuffle and deal for you!"

"You are no longer allowed in my library." Severus patted his head. "Don't look at me like that. I've already thought that through." he snapped and Remus pulled out two decks of cards in a joint box. " Red or Blue, Aya?"

"I like red."

"Then you shuffle and deal, Aya. " Aya took the deck from Remus and opened it. " Only Ishi is on the hook here not you or Midori so don't worry about anything."

Aya shuffled and delt he'd seen kids in class play poker. So he knew how it was done.


Aya couldn't believe it he was playing fair with them and Severus was still up over half a million lbs.

"Last hand." he called, "Last hand."

He watched them bid. The man looked as if he was going to we himself with happiness and put everything in. Severus played along and put all in.

"Four of a kind. "

"Royal flush." Severus sneered. "Remus, the money, Sirius, Ishi. James, Midori."

Remus quickly packed the money into briefcases. Sirius twisted Ishi's arm behind his back and James took Midori's arm.

"Come, Aya." Severus picked him up bridal style making him yelp. "Lets go home. You can teach me to read your Japanese Manga."

"These are in Chinese." Aya replied, Remus sweat dropped, "See they have a CH on them on the side. Japanese ones have JAP. But I can still read them so they're fine. (I say this a lot but. My Manga my rules and you know what they should really do that. No manga I've ever read, that wasn't on the web, has ever had that.) What are you going to do with Okaachan?"

"Is she good at house work?"

"Yes." Aya replied, " She makes great food and the house was always clean. "

"Then she will work as a Maid at one of my Hotels and come once a week to clean the apartment." Severus decided. "don't worry, Mrs. You wont be working off Ishi's debt any longer. You are free to come and go as you please. " Midori thanked him and bowed. her eyes strayed to Aya. " Aya, is staying with me. You may see him once a week for two hours no more no less. But he is not working off Ishi's debt either. Ishi will be doing that himself. " he slid Aya into the car. " James take him to your work placement. Sirius to her to Hotel 5 and get her set up in a room. I'm taking Aya home. "


Aya's head fell back hitting the pillow, his mouth wide open with drool coming out. Tears running down his cheeks. He was of course once again at the mercy of Severus who was trying with all his might to be gentle this time around. It still hurt though and he couldn't catch his breath no matter what he did.

"It's okay, Aya." Severus kept hissing over and over once again kissing him until he felt like he was going to pass out. "It's okay. " Aya didn't think it was. He knew that sex with another man was okay he read BL Manga but the way Severus took sex. That wasn't okay was it? Maybe he would have to leave a few clues for Severus to follow. Show him the proper way to do things. "Its okay."

He came with a loud cry. Severus sucked on his neck as he too came. He then cleaned them off. He redressed Aya in another pair of PJ's and covered them up.

'If i keep this up there is no way his bruises are going to heal.' Severus growled to himself as he spooned Aya. 'I managed to be gentle this time but he still has bruises from the last two times. Dammit!'

He cursed at himself over and over until he fell asleep. He didn't notice Aya was still awake. When Aya was sure Severus was asleep. He grabbed the cell phone and sent a text of a few Manga titles and emphasized that they should be in English and delivered to Severus. He signed his name and thanked Remus for his hard work before falling asleep as well.
