Chapter 3 - Coming Home

Arriving at the Ichijouji residence, my escort and I made our way through the large iron gothic front doors. These doors opened with a small push from Ken and creaked on the way. The open doors showed a large room with a staircase on the opposite end and doors on the ground floor, large doors at the end of the red-carpeted stairs and there were doors along the upstairs red-carpeted hallways. I stood in the middle of it all with awe. The artwork was all light and sunny, yet somehow depressing and dark. It didn't quite capture the true sunlight.

"Do you like it, Dai-chan?"

"Yes! Of coarse. It is just beauti..." -Pause- "..Dai-chan?"

"I am sorry," he apologized quickly, "I meant no harm in saying that. I will not call you by that name again. Please forgive me."

"It's okay. You can call me by whatever you like. I am at your mercy, am I not? You prisoner, ne?" Something about that idea made me flush but I quickly pushed it down.

"You are not a prisoner," he caressed my cheek, "You are free to come and go as you please. My mercy is for all who are pure and innocent, as you are."

"'Ch. Innocent," I spat.

"Ah, but you are, my dear Daisuke. Can you not see how beautifully pure you are? So much more than me. I lost my innocence when I became this foul and vile thing I am now. You've been hurt, Daisuke. Therefore, you do not trust. It is a pity too because all I ask of you is your trust of me."

I was about to reply but I felt soft, cold lips brush against my cheek and disappear as quickly as it came. He was then out of sight. I glanced around and he was nowhere. I sighed with dissapointment and confusion as I caressed the spot his lips had touched.

Out of a door to my right, a butler-type person came forth. He quickly drew toward me and directed me to follow him. His blonde hair, slightly messed, complimented his blue eyes. Still, there was something a bit too familiar about him that I defiantly did NOT like.

I followed him up the stairs and to the left. The eighth door on right was opened. I assumed this is where I was to be bedded for the night. He directed me to go in wordlessly. The penguin-suited man lit the candles in the room, brought out sleepwear and left the room. I sat down on the bed lost in thought.

'What am I doing here? Why am I not a corpse somewhere. A victim of a vampire's blood kiss,' I thought to myself, 'What is my purpose here? This is all so confusing to me. And Ken...' I sighed dreamily. I decided to put on my pajamas and crawl into the lace draped bed. The sheets were of the softest silk and the feather pillows were easy to sink into. I fell into a deep slumber quite fast.

I awoke with a start. Someone was calling their master and telling them it was time for them to awake. Only then did I see the magenta-haired vixen standing in my doorway. And only then did I realize that I was the master she spoke of. She was dressed in a high cut French maid's uniform. Her eyes smiled at me. She moved into the room and opened the long black velvet curtains to reveal a late afternoon sky. Just about the time I usually get up for work. Its not as though I didn't think she was pretty, it was beyond that.

"Good Afternoon, Master Motomiya. The Master has instructed me to treat you with the utmost care. I now yield to your every wish," she bowed.

"Oh? What is your name," I asked.

"Tachikawa, Master Motomiya."

"No, no. Your given name. I'd prefer to address you by that. Please?"

"Yes Master Motomiya. It is Mimi," she bowed again.

"Well, thank you Mimi. Is there anything that I need to do? Any plans?"

She nodded, "Many plans. I am to bathe you, dress you, and get you ready for The Master's special feast he has made for your arrival. I am also to show you the grounds so you do not get lost and introduce you to the other servants of The Master. Does this suit you, Master Motomiya?"

I nodded and she led me to the bathroom. She filled the round tub with lukewarm water and undressed me. I was quite uncomfortable with this but could do nothing about it. Mimi instructed me to get in. Picking up a sponge and wetting it, she began washing me.

I felt so helpless, child-like. My independence was nearly stripped from me. She was now dressing me in the finest of clothes and putting jeweled, golden pendants on my neck and jeweled rings on my fingers.

"It is time for the tour and introductions," Mimi stated bluntly.

She led me out of my room and down the grand staircase. I noted the clock. It was almost 5:30p.m. She had finished the upstairs tour and I had learned where 'The Master's' bedroom was. The first room we came to downstairs was the kitchen. There was a young woman with short strawberry blonde hair. She bowed to me.

"Daisuke Motomiya," I held out my hand in the popular Western style.

"Takenouchi," she lightly, but firmly, touched my hand.

"Sora," Mimi corrected her coldly.

Sora stood there confused. She glanced at me then Mimi. Mimi nodded.

"Master Motomiya wishes to call us by our given names," she addressed Sora. I nodded. Sora then bowed again and went back to washing dishes and preparing a meal. Mimi and I exited the room. The door shut behind us. We continued on to the large iron front doors. Mimi struggled to open the doors that opened for Ken with ease.

Out about fifty feet by a patch of flowers stood a tall brown haired man. He was holding a hose. We walked toward this man.

"This is the Master's guest, Master Motomiya," Mimi introduced me.

"Yagami Taichi," he bowed.

"Pleasure to meet..." I stopped halfway through my bow. The name hit me.

"Yagami," I spat, "Would you happen to be related to Hikari Yagami?"

"'Kari," he sounded pained, "I disowned her as my sister a long time ago. Therefore, I am not. Only on occasions such as these I will admit that, yes, she is my blood, Master Motomiya."

"I see, Taichi. Well than I shall not consider you a foe as I do her."

"Would it be permitted to ask how she has wronged you?"

"More that one way, Taichi," I put my hand on his shoulder above me, "She and Takeru have convinced hundreds to be against me."

"Oh. Takeru? Yama-chan's little brother?"

"Who is this 'Yama-chan' you speak of?" Taichi blushed and adverted his eyes.

Mimi spoke, "Ishida Yamato. He is the man who takes my place on the night shift. You have already met but not introduced. Taichi and Yamato are a 'thing.'"

"Ishida? That is not Takeru's family name. It is Takaishi."

"Takeru and Yamato are only half brothers," the gardener stated, "They have no spoke in over 10 years because of their differences."

"I see," I hung my head.

After a few long seconds, Mimi Tachikawa put her hand on shoulder and spoke to me. Thank god she broke the silence. Who knows how long that would've gone on!

"Come now. It is long past dusk. The Master is now stirring and it is time for me to be off. I need to get you back inside. Goodbye Taichi," and we all bowed.

She took me back to my room and instructed me to stay in my room until further notice from Yamato. I laid myself on the bed, put my hands behind my head and daydreamed about the blue-haired devil that had 'captured' me. Or was that angel?

*****Mimi's POV*****

I made my way up to the sidewalk of my little suburban house. I followed the same ritual as I did everyday. Open the door, take off my shoes, put on slippers, change, and then I go to the kitchen to make tea.

It was tea for my love. I have so many choices. Blackberry, Black Cherry, Chamomile, Lemon, or Green. I grabbed the green tea from the cupboard. I filled the pot and started boiling water.

I heard the door open and close. The clatter of shoes and a uniform filled bag being thrown about gave me a start. The pot started whistling. She called me from the living room.

"Mi-chan, I'm home!"

"I could here, Miya-chan. You're being so noisy in there! Did you have a worse day than usual," I called back.

I fixed the tea and made my way into the room where Inoue Miyako, my girlfriend was reclining. She looked worn out and exhausted. I handed her the tea and sat down next to her.

"Tell me," I prodded.

"Well yesterday, a co-worker went into a hospital with a dead body we had to drop off. No one saw him leave or come out, but he isn't there. No one can explain anything that happened. And now he didn't show up for work today. You know how busy it can get picking up drunks and bodies the day after Mardi Gras, and then there are the people who think they were raped but can't remember. All this filing and paperwork has worn me out. After paging Motomiya 60 times, no one can find him."

"Wait... Motomiya? Motomiya Daisuke?"

"Yes! Do you know anything about it?"

"Well, he is staying at my employer's house currently. I think I should know. I had to show him around the house and introduce him to everyone else there."

"You mean he is staying in this big mansion and never told anyone where he went. I was so worried about him. And Takeru and Hikari are madder than hell because we had to force Iori to work with us and he isn't quite skilled. I don't think they really care, but he should have called me! I was so damn worried about him."

Wow. Daisuke does have people who care about him unlike what he thinks. Miyako doesn't hate him. I put my hand on my girlfriend's shoulder and tell her to calm down and drink her tea. She does and kisses me.

"And just think, a second ago you were so upset," I mocked her.

"Oh shut up, Mi-chan," Miya-chan said pulling me out of the room and down the hall to our bedroom. She giggled the whole way there. I guess I go for it tonight. I laugh and pin her down on the bed and undress her.
