~~**Forever Caged**~~

“Ouch, ouch, FUCK!”

“Suck it up V.” Riki laughingly said with his arms and ankles crossed he leaned against the metal door frame of Jade's cabin.

“Why the hell aren't you doing this too!?” V yelled, straining against the body lock the twins had on him.

“Don't be a bitch V. Me and Keito did it now it's your turn.” Fidget grinned behind V, tightening his hold on the larger Mongrel's arms, his legs wrapped around his waist.

“…It doesn't hurt that badly…Just think of something pleasant.” Sky calmly said sitting on V's stomach to keep his thrashing to a minimum and also holding his legs down.

“Just a little more.” Jade whispered soothingly, looking upon the attractive Mongrel with sympathy.

“Please, please tell me why I have to do this again!?”

Riki chuckled. “This piece of shit ship wont make it if we don't stop to next planet so Lilly can get parts for the scrap heap you all call an engine. He says if we don't then we better be prepared to stick our thumbs out because hitching a ride is the only way we will get anywhere.”

“But this?” V whimpered.

“Just a few more I swear.” Jade rubbed V's leg to try and comfort him.

V tensed. “Wait, wait one sec-“ Ripp. “AHHH DAMN IT! FUCK!”

Jade quickly applied the cooling agent on V's leg he just waxed.

“Kill me…I beg you…”

Jade looked worriedly at Riki as he massaged V's smooth, half waxed, leg. “Riki…”

“Do it, Jade. Harden your heart and rip it all off.”

“Why the hell isn't this you in my place!?”

Riki shrugged a shoulder. “Cuz I'm going to wear pants.”

V's eyes widened then shot to the twin's mischievous stormy gray eyes. “You bastards tricked me! You said we had to wear skirts!”

“We never said that. What we said was that we have skirts.” Fidget said. “It's not our fault you took it as we only had skirts.”

“Assholes!”

“You know they say that when you bite a virgin on the ear it distracts them from the pain of being taken for the first time.” Fidget said grinning.

“…Do you want us to bite you V?” Sky asked.

“NO! I want to wear pants! PANTS! It hurts too much!”

Jade bit his lower lip, hating that he had to hurt the kind Mongrel that had surprisingly Violet hair and not dark brown. Now he understood even more so on why he was named thusly. Not being able to take his sobs and begging to be released any more; Jade rubbed the Mongrel's calf and called out his name soothingly in “that voice”.

“Stop Jade!” Riki snapped.

“Sorry…” Jade whispered blinking back tears.

Riki sighed. “Don't be so sensitive kid. I'm not mad at you but at them.” Riki said stepping forward and smacking Sky, Fidget and V on the head.

“…I don't understand.” Jade looked at V and the twins grinning faces, even V had stopped his pathetic whimpering and was grinning as well.

“…We couldn't help it.” Sky said with a shrug, rubbing the back of his head.

“That voice of his is ecstasy man!” V said.

“Like fucking having the best blowjob you've ever had. You can't blame us for wanting to hear it again.” Fidget pouted.

“You mean you-“ Jade blushed furiously.

“Played on your gentle, kind, nature to try and get what we wanted? Yeah we did.” V said winking at Jade.

Angered Jade ripped off all the strips on V's leg.

“FUUUCCCCKKK!”

“Oohh, kitty has claws!” Fidget yelled to be heard over V's scream of pain.

“Okay, for real now. No more.” V said panting.

“Keep going Jade.” Riki laughed. “Don't stop and for crying out loud Violet be a man and stop that whimpering.”

“Let's see how you would handle it if you were in my position!”

“I have been why do you think I said I was going to wear pants.”

“Is this really necessary!?”

“We are landing on a planet that is dominated by females. Think of Amoi except with women not men. What do you think will happen if they found out we are from the meat department instead of the seafood section of the supermarket?” Fidget said.

“How crude Keita…but very true.” Sky said to V. “It's not that bad V, like Keita said we had our legs done.” Sky turned around on V's stomach and pulled his pant leg up to show a smooth bare shin.

“Oh yeah, like I'm going to listen to you, you probably were moaning in pleasure every time Jade ripped one of those evil strips off. Hell your probably trying hard not to blow your load by seeing me in pain cuz you're a freak like that.”

“Bad, bad move.” Fidget whispered.

“…Jade, love, pass me the hot wax please.” Sky asked as he smiled sweetly down at V.

“Wait!” It was a joke! I was only joking with you- SHIT MY NIPPLES!”

Riki laughed as he left the room and once away from prying eyes all traces of humor disappeared. He tried to keep from everyone how he truly felt, how leaving Iason hadn't devastated him and even now he wanted to go back, had wanted to the moment he had gotten on the ship. It was only because of the responsibility he had towards everyone, the danger they would be in if he caved and went back, even if it meant calling Jupiter's wrath down upon them, Iason and all in Ceres.

Checking on Luke who was taking his shift watching the controls and everything on the main deck, Riki talked to him for a few minutes before jogging down to the engine room to see how Lilly was doing. Everyone took it as a god sent and didn't question why Lilly somehow knew how to rebuild an engine. The only thing pets knew where now to give and take pleasure, the only thing they were taught. They didn't even know any living skills having to rely on Furniture to do even the basic of things like wiping their asses when they went to the bathroom.

Everyone thought Mongrels were the stupidest creatures on Amoi that was because they didn't consider pets to be anything but toys. Something they could play with then discard once they lost interest in them. If they took the social shade away from their eyes and saw pets were human beings with thoughts and feelings, had the capability t learn would it change anything? Probably not Riki thought looking at Lilly through the open door.

Being without any change of clothing the boy's had opened their closet doors to them. Jade wore Sky's, Lilly wore Fidget's and he in V's. He fit into the twins clothes better, Violet's were a tad to large but Fidget had this thing were if you were wearing something of his when he wanted to then he would physically throw you down and strip it off you while Sky…well he was scared to see what he had in his closet.

Stepping farther into the large room Riki looked at how happy Lilly was covered in grease. Besides being terrorized by his Blondie, having a secret like Jade's and being a beautiful face he had thought there couldn't be anything else that the pet could surprise him with as he cleaned and turned over parts in his hands. “You look better with short hair.” Riki said startling the pet, ex-pet.

“Oh!...ahh, thanks.”

Ripped up jeans, faded T-shirt that had holes everywhere the only thing that clashed with the beggar look was the jeweled pet collar Lilly still wore. “You seem at home here.”

Lilly smiled as he wiped the grease off his hands. “This is what I use to do, once upon a time.”

“What you use to do…I thought you were a pet? Born, raised and academy schooled?”

“I am.”

“Well do I have to beat it out of you?”

Lilly slowly gathered the tools from the floor he had been using and busied himself by outing them away.

“Lilly.”

“For almost two years I've been forbidden to talk about myself to anyone…I just need time.” Lilly said slowly.

“Sorry kid but times not a luxury I can give you. I know jack shit about you and Jade. I owe the both of you that is why I took you both with me. I plan on having a good talk with Jade later but right now I want to know more about you, what you can do that's like Jade's and about the.” Riki said throwing his hand out to the engine Lilly was fixing. “If I'm to begin to trust you then you need to fucking be up front with me or-“ Blinking Riki inhaled sharply to the scent that suddenly filled the air. All his anger and frustration melted away. “What the hell…”

“That…that is what I can do…”Lilly whispered.

“This smell…”

“Is coming from me. “Lilly said turning to face Riki while nervously gripping the dirty rap in his hands. “I can control people in certain ways with scents I can emit from my body. I have ultimate control over some “mixtures” I guess you could call them, but others I do not.”

“So while Jade can control people with his voice you can with your smell.”

“You make it sound like I stink the way you say it but yes. Jade can control everyone, almost everyone, looks like your redheaded friend, you and me can't really be controlled by him if we fight it. Even three of your four friends have a tad immunity to his voice. Why I don't know but I think that even you could fight what I can do if you try hard enough. I learned control of some scents I can throw out like lust from the academy and peace from my time with Sir Mikhale. Jade's skill is still weak, which is why he needed my help that one time with the waiter but with enough practice he could be unstoppable, dangerous.”

Riki lifted a doubtful black brow at that. “Dangerous? This is Jade we are talking about.”

“And that's why I'm not alarmed.”

“What makes your control shatter? I'll need to know this if we need you to use your skill.” Riki said when Lilly looked like he was about to clam up which he could understand, he wouldn't want to tell anyone his weakness.

“…If I'm really nervous or scared my perfumes can mix together and the outcome can become unpredictable…making me vulnerable.”

Riki was quiet for a moment, thinking. “Your Blondie knew about what you could do didn't he?”

Lilly tugged at the collar at his neck. “He knows more about me then I do.”

Riki sighed at how depressed Lilly became. “Look we are in this together and both you and Jade will be a great benefit for us. We all will be pulling our weight and you have more then shown how lucky we are having you here with us, although I will be wanting to know soon how it is you know how to look at that junk and be able to fix it. Both of you will have ample opportunity to learn control because, like it or not, we will be needing it.”

Lilly looked down at the rag he held and nodded.

“We land in about an hour. I suggest you get washed up dressed.”

“I heard that we will be pretending to be females.”

“Yeah. I thought it would be best since Iason would be looking for males.”

“Don't you think he wouldn't think of that?”

Riki laughed sadly. “Knowing my Blondie he would think of everything but I also know that he wouldn't believe I would ever allow someone to paint my face and stick me is a dress.” Riki motioned Lilly to walk with him back up to the living quarters of the ship. “Jade should be ripping the last of V's pride away so if you need him to he can wax you up.”

“I was born without body hair so there is no need.”

Riki stopped and stared at Lilly. “All body hair?”

“Yes.”

“Every where?”

“…yes…”

Riki whistled. “That would be interesting to see but not now. Go and get ready. Sky and Fidget have every ones outfits ready in our cabins and we will also be taking some Gazer to alter our coloring.”

“'l won't be long I promise.”

Half and hour later everyone convened in the dinning area. Dressed embarrassingly as the opposite sex and looking damn good not that anyone would be bragging to anyone else about it.

Riki scratched and the harness that Sky had put around his chest that covered his peeks, holding in the cups were silicone so that if everyone thought to touch him up there they would be deceived into thinking he was a female as long as they didn't try to grab him between the legs not that they would live long enough to shout an alarm if they were stupid enough to do that to him, female or not.

“You have all this shit in your closet Sky…?” V asked trying to pull the short skirt; the twins forced him in, lower.

“Leave your skirt alone. You're wrinkling it.” Fidget said slapping V's hands away.

The twins were dresses exactly the same, the only difference was that they hadn't taken the Gazer, deciding to instead wear different colored, long haired, wigs. Both had their wigs were in pig tails. Sky picked pink while Fidget picked lime green. They both even went as far as to temporary color their light blue brows the color of their wigs to be more convincing. Tight tops, fake boobs and short skirts the only funny thing about their outfits was that they wore army boots.

All of them had gotten their faces painted by the twins and with the Gazer V, Jade and Lilly were sporting new hair and eye coloring. Riki looked at the candy he held in his palm, he still had not taken his. The others yapped to each other but he could see that they were waiting in for him to take it.

“I look strange…” Jade whispered fingering his new black locks and his cheeks were pink as he self consciously held the blue sweater closed to hide his fake cleavage.

“You look fine Jade.” Lilly said even as he looked at his blonde hair in the large mirror the twins had brought in but turned away when the new color of his eyes upset him. Of all the colors it could have changed to it had to change to a color, to close for comfort, to that of his master Mikhale's.

“You kinda look like Riki with your hair like that.” V side even as he fought with Fidget to stop raising his skirt higher and Sky as he tried to put his new blue locks up in pig tails like them.

Not one to look at himself in the mirror to study his face Riki turned Jade to face him. “…You do look like me a little I think.” Riki smiled and rubbed Jade's head. “Well we can tell everyone that you're my little sister how about that?”

“Don't mess up his hair!” Fidget huffed in anger pulling the small pet away from Riki and bushed Jade's black locks back to its original smoothness.

“It is uncanny the resemblance isn't it though?” Sky said tilting Jade's face up and comparing it to Riki's. “The same shape of your eyes…his lips…they're the same…”

“As I said, we can tell everyone he's my baby sister.” Riki said popping the Gazer in his mouth and chewing on it. Never having taken a pigmentation drug before Riki didn't know what to expect but he thought he would have felt something more then just a slight tingling on his scalp and in his eyes.

“Damn…” V whispered.

“Talk about scary.” Fidget mumbled.

Frowning Riki went over to the mirror and blinked in surprise. His coal black eyes were now flaming red and while he still had his black hair it also now had streaks of red in the trees.

“…He's more of a femme fatale now.” Sky said turning Riki over to him and held him still as he applied dark red lipstick to Riki's lips.

“My face feels heavy with all this crap on it.” Riki grumbled. Looking at everyone he sighed. “We all look like freaks.”

“Sexy freaks though.” Fidget said grinning, batting his fake long eye lashes at him.

“If you drag queens are done we are about to land in five minutes so I suggest you all take your seats.”

Everyone, but Jade, glared at the intercom where Luke's voice can from. Thanks to Jade they were given permission to land and had unlimited access to the world's Market, something outsiders weren't given unless they passed series of security clearances that could last, from what they had found out, for weeks. Luke was left behind, in charge of the ship, as Riki and the gang headed to the shops and merchant stands.

Riki had never seen so many females in his entire life. He couldn't stop his staring and noticed that almost everyone was staring back at him as well. “This isn't uncomfortable at all.” Riki whispered dryly.

“Just smile.” Lilly said behind him.

“He said smile not bare your fangs at them.” V snorted then sobered when those red eyes swung his way. “Shit that's just spooky.” V said with a shiver.

It took them about an hour before they found a shop with all the parts and equipment Lilly needed and only two minutes for Lilly to convince the large, physically fit woman to let him have everything he wanted for, basically, free. Then another five minutes to convince the kind hearted Jade that they weren't stealing it from the poor woman, that they just couldn't afford to pay so much for it if they did they would be using all their currency and be penniless.

“Let's split up and get the rest of what we need.” Riki asked ignoring the repeated ass pinches from the crowds of giggling females.

“The females here are…are very aggressive.” Jade whispered as he backed p to get closer to Riki, staring at a group of women that stared back at him with a predatory gleam in their eyes.

“That's because those doe eyes brings the beast out in them Jade, dear.” Fidget said in a high tone, fanning his face with a delicate white laced fan. “That and all six of us are damn hot!”

Riki sighed as another hand from the crowd caressed his leather covered ass and put his arm around Jade's shoulders. “Jade and Sky are with me. Lilly you're with V and Fidget. Please make sure they keep them selves out of trouble Lilly.” Riki looked at his wrist watch. “They are delivering all the equipment and parts to the ship now so let's all met back there in three hours.” Riki turned away. “Don't do anything stupid.” Riki said over his shoulder as the crowd parted for his group, letting them pass without comment.

Lilly rubbed his arm as he shivered. He wasn't cold, far from it, the need was upon him. They had been on the ship for so long and he'd never went without physical release for such a long length of time. He had gone a two months before but His Blondie had always been there to take some of the edge away.

Walking away from V and Fidget, Lilly back tracked until he got the street they had passed earlier. Women called out to him from porches wearing almost nothing. Lilly walked slowly up to one of the whorehouses, heart racing.

“Love the detour Lilly, baby.”

Lilly turned and blushed when V and Fidget were standing close behind him. He never heard them. “Ahh…”

V winked at Lilly. “We all have needs. Why not indulge while mother has his head turned?”

“All the rules to the game don't apply here.” Fidget said to V grinning and waving at the girls that called out to them.

Smiling in relief that they weren't going to brag him away the three of them allowed the girls to pull them into their establishment.

“Wow you're so beautiful.”

Lilly gasped as the woman bit his earlobe then froze when fingers discovered that he wasn't really a girl, heard Fidget and V swear as their secret was discovered as well. Being so caught up in his own need he forgot until that moment what they were suppose to be females.

“Lock the doors! They're all males!”

Lilly looked at V and Fidget who were surrounded by females just as he was. “Are you going to turn us in?” Lilly asked to expertly painted faces around him.

“Turn you in?”

Laughter filled the air.

“We are just making sure you can't escape until we've had our fill of you. Males are a luxury only the richest of our planets females can afford.”

Lilly threw his head back and gasped when dozen of hands began to caress his body. Unable to contain it Lilly let a scent out, filling the small room and everyone with uncontrollable lust.

oOoOoOo

Iason looked around the room at the faces of five of the most powerful Blondes on Amoi. Even though two weeks had already passed since Riki had escaped with help from his, now know mongrel friends, hostility still filled the air. Only one Blondie was missing and Iason took no insult that Raoul did not show up…Katze had still not awoken from his slumber and Raoul would not leave his side until he did. His friend had locked himself away in his apartment but being a true Elite he did not stop working but instead had everything brought to him so he could work from home.  

The men that had put Katze in his current condition were still in custody with armed guards watching them around the clock. Not even he had the energy to talk to them, only to get through what he had to do for the day, keeping the world from thinking that he was anything but the fearful and ruthless Syndicate leader. To think that Riki would go this far…he still did not know why Riki would do it especially not after they had tenderly held each other in their arms and had whispered their love to one another.

Alex had told him that Katze had found something that had to have been big and had rushed back to Eos to probably see him but the disk with the information  had been nowhere in sight. The only thing he and Raoul had agreed on was that Katze had hid it thinking to come back for it when the show in the lobby was over which meant that whatever was on that disk was of great importance. The majority of the files Alex had were still locked, the files of Riki, the ones he wanted, but even the ones that hadn't been protected by passwords had been disturbing. He and Raoul still had yet to discuses it, which he planned to rectify today.

Turning his attention back to the Blondes waiting for him to speak first, Iason nodded in greeting to them all. “I'm sure you all know why I've asked you to come to my home. And I'm sure in these weeks we all have had ample time to think of what happened. Before we start I want it to be clear with everyone here that Orphe was in no fault for what happened and I want his name to be cleared of any malicious gossip that our brothers may be circulating.”

Orphe's silver eyes widened slightly before narrowing in suspicion. “Please do not be insulted, Sir Iason, but why.” Orphe demanded.

“Maybe he did it to hide the embarrassment that a Blondie was outsmarted by mere trash.” Marcus said.

“You-“

Iason held his hand up, stopping the verbal tongue lashing before it could start. “I'm sure that you have reviewed, step by step, everything that “Lawrence” took while under our employment?” Iason said to Orphe.

“I have…”

“And you know doubt have entertained suspicious thoughts on the work he was commissioned to do, correct? Upgrades in which he could not have done himself, not even with the help he had with our on staff Technicians.”

“Your point?”

Iason looked around the room, meeting all the Blondes in the eye. “These two Mongrels were able to infiltrate Eos without being detected. I say two but there were more, unfortunately we can't be sure how many more because surveillance was down, in the lobby and the surrounding area. Then there is the question of how the other or others were able to get pass the front doors without being directed to the hand scanner to record and identify who they were before being allowed entrance.”

“Considering what Orphe's mongrel had access to it is not impossible that he could have set it up so that at it would go off line at an appointed time. It is also not hard to believe that he had the intellect to do all of it himself even if he were just “mere trash”.” Mikhale said looking at Marcus. “I have always held to the belief that Mongrels, selected Mongrels, were a threat that we as Elites never took seriously enough.”

“Maybe but it still does not change the fact that Orphe was not doing his job as he should have to let something of this magnitude happen. From your comment that night Orphe it looked like you were watching his body more then what you should have been.” Aisha said.

“And what of the both of you?” Orphe said looking ant Marcus and Aisha. “Both of you seemed to know Lawrence's accomplice intimately for him to call you by your first names.”

Aisha and Marcus looked at one another then turned their heads away, snubbing one another.

“What are you trying to tell us Sir Iason?”  Gideon said ignoring the bickering of the three Blondes.

Iason waited until all eyes were back on him again. “Orphe I understand that you had doubt's on the Mongrel's creditability and sought to test him?”

“Yes I did.”

“And I can stand witness that he did so as I had walked in once he was done.” Gideon said.

“What did you find?” Iason asked.

“He was as he said. All his information was there confirming his identity.” Orphe said passing Iason a manila folder. “This is everything that I had on him.”

“Tell me…What made you suspect him?” Iason asked opening up the file.  

“His mannerisms were not consistent of someone that would have been born on Amoi; even if it were from a city far from Midas or Tanagura he should have been taught who we were and how to conduct himself around us.” Orphe said with a straight face.

“I would hold those words Marcus.” Iason calmly said not even looking up to know that the Blondie would have a snide remark to say. The room was silent with only the noise of rustling the papers as Iason turned the pages in Orphe's report. “Tell me Marcus, Aisha, what is your relationship with that Mongrel? The both of you seemed to be determined to cast all wrong doing towards the Technician and none on him. Why is that?” Iason asked softly tapping the folder on this knee and leaning back in his chair.

“And for that matter you,” Iason looked at Mikhale. “You seem to not be concerned that your pet was involved, quite the contrast to how you acted that night and you as well Gideon with the Onyx's pet that disappeared, who we can also confirm took part as his pet ring was found, broken on the lobby floor. I'm also surprised that you are allowing Marcus and Aisha to gang up on Orphe, Gideon, considering how close the both of you are.” Iason smiled when he was met with nothing but silence. “Are you going to make me repeat myself?”

“I may have placed uncalled blame towards Orphe. I'll admit to that.” Marcus said. “I will also be truthful in saying that I want the other mongrel and have in fact laid clam to him-“

“As have I.” Aisha interrupted.

“We will discuss that later.” Iason said stopping the argument he knew were to come if he let them go. “What of you Gideon?”

“I want to take ownership of the Onyx's pet. I am not blaming Orphe in any way either. I myself have suspicions on the amount of things the Mongrel, Lawrence, was able to complete in such a short amount of time.”

“Mikhale?”

“Quite frankly I don't care who I have to sacrifice so that Lilly can come back to me unharmed. You have my unquestionable support in anything you do as long as he brought back to my side.” Mikhale said calmly, looking at Iason, reminding him of their deal.

“Jupiter won't allow your pet to come back not after his part in the embarrassment he helped show Amoi that we Elites were helpless to stop a few pesky Mongrels.” Marcus said to Mikhale but looked at Iason as he talked. “It doesn't matter that Gideon had almost his entire fleet mind cleansed of the incident or how Aisha, Orphe and I did the same to all that had been invited to that ridiculous show, the pets and the security that failed to capture the Mongrels.”

Everyone knew that Marcus was referring to Riki but hadn't dared to voice it.

Iason smiled. “All of you have felt it, haven't you? Jupiter's withdraw the day Riki left? And by doing so she had left all decisions and power to me. To us.” Iason uncrossed his legs and leaned slightly forward. “In these long and tiresome two weeks we have worked quite hard, harder then we ever have to control and contain the damage that was done. It is only right that we pick the punishment once we have captured them.”

“Jupiter's law is clear on acts of this kind Sir Iason.” Orphe said shaking his head. “Once we bring them home they will be executed.”

“No one remembers but the Blondes that attended and the Onyx.” Gideon quietly said. “It is they that we have to stop from spreading rumors and with Iason's name as a threat we can do it.”

“As Sir Iason said Jupiter is not here, has no been since they left. She left everything up to us to decide and if we all stand as one she will back us up once the decision is made so that we are not made to look like fools and have other Blondes attempt to take our spot on the high seat.” Aisha said looking at Marcus waiting for him to agree with him.

Slowly Marcus nodded. “Fool that he is, Aisha is correct. If we stand together Jupiter will have to accept it if we take the Mongrels in.”

“Can you not hear what you are all saying!?” Orphe glared at the Blondes. “The lunacy of all of your words!?”

“Did you not think it strange that the controller the Tech had worked?” Iason asked leaning back in his seat and crossing his legs again. “My remote was the main controller and once I turned it on and used it for the first time that night that is when yours would become operational. His stolen one should not have worked as it would also need to wait until I used mine to become operational.”

Orphe was stunned into silence.

“Did you also not notice that the doors run a different security system then the one the Mongrel worked on and should have completely locked down the moment the alarms were sound? Someone that knows our systems helped them escaped but when I tried to find who might have been the hacker that did it I came up with…no one.”

Iason noticed that everyone wore a shocked expression that soon filled with denial when their extraordinary minds came to only one conclusion…All but Mikhale who sat back unsurprised.

“Jupiter would not do something like this and for you to suggest such a thing.” Aisha whispered angrily.

“Jupiter is an entity that is not bound to laws and restrictions that we are. She could have helped them escape out of curiosity for all we know and as we speak is reviewing what happened and creating different scenarios of it as well.” Mikhale said backing Iason up.

“If that's true then she purposely set you up to be the fool Orphe.” Marcus said exhaling.

“If it is true then she made all of us look like fools.” Gideon said frowning.

Iason smiled. “I think we have a few things we need to speak about. Changes to make so that when we bring the Mongrels back to their home world there will be no whispers from our other brethren.”

 

oOoOoOo

Cursing Niko picked up the container of yogurt that he dropped while putting the groceries in the back seat of the car. Globs of the rich cream was splattered everywhere. Looking at his hand covered in the goop Niko shook it off behind him.

He had left while his Master rested with Katze wanting to get to the Market to buy what they both loved to eat before they woke up…Hoping that Katze would wake up. He still did not know what happened that day only that he awoke with a splitting headache.

“You should look at who is behind you before to make sure there is no one there before doing something as unbecoming as a Furniture Niko. What would Raoul think if he knew?”

Niko stifled a groan and turned, grimacing when he saw that he has flicked yogurt on expensive buffed black boots and cream colored slacks and bowed. “Sir Gabriel Lazen… forgive me I did not see you there.”

“Yes and as I said you should have looked first didn't i?”

Niko wanted to roll his eyes at the Blondie Elite. “You are right Sir I should have been looking but considering that I parked are from public in a, almost, deserted parking lot I did not think that I would have a need to.” Niko looked around him and sure enough there was only one other car on the lot and of course it wasn't the Blondie's.

“Clean it.”

Before he could stop it Niko smirked for a slit second, long enough for the Blondie to see it, then smoothed expression from his face to that of an obedient Furniture. “Absolutely Sir Gabriel, have your clothing sent to the cleaners and I will be sure they have them cleansed.”

“And if I were to tell you to get on your knees and clean them now?”

Niko stared blandly up at the Blondie. “I'm afraid that I would have to respectfully and regrettably tell you that that is impossible. As Furniture to Sir Raoul Am, one of the leading powers of Amoi, it would bring shame to him if someone were to see me doing such a thing.” Niko did smile after saying that knowing that it irked the Blondie to know end hearing how Sir Raoul was much more powerful then he was even though they were both Blondes. The damn Elite always tried to get him in trouble whenever possible. One could even call him his nemesis.

“Such rebellious eyes.”

Niko froze when, for the first time, the Blondie touched him, grabbing his chin firmly and tilted it up to stared up into his. “I should bring Sir Raoul's attention to your disrespectful demeanor.”

Smiling tightly Niko stood still and let the Blondie study him. “Again I beg your forgiveness Sir Gabriel if you think my conduct towards you or if you thought anything I may have said to you was rude in any way. And I will be sure to inform my master of everything that has transpired here to save you the inconvenience of having to do so.”

“Will you?”

Niko glared at the Blondie then smiled. “Yes Sir Gabriel. I'll be sure to tell my master that you wanted me to get on my knees before you and clean the cream that stained your pants and how you took it as your right to touch me.”

Grunting when his hand got stuck Niko yanked at the object that blocked his hand from escaping. Pulling with all his strength Niko stumbled back. “What the hell is this?” Niko whispered looking at the clear case in his hand and the disk that lay within.
