Love and Friendship

Chapter Four: Fragile

By Kelly

Juri watched her master with great pain in her heart. Lady Ruki had to go with her cousin (Lee). She tried so many times to convince her not to go but it was no use. Prince Lee had no choice but go either. He really wanted to just stay home and get to know his new slave ... well more than a slave. When Lee saw him, he saw something that he saw or felt before. A sense of passion.

"Are you sure that there's nothing that will convince you to stay?" Juri asked as Ruki zipped her bag up and headed to the door.

"I'm not doing this with you ...."

"But Ruki-chan ..."

Before her love could get a hold of her, Ruki turned and slapped her. Hard. Shit! Ruki thought watching her love lower her head saying that she needed to get something's done in the kitchen. With no other words, Juri walked out closing the door behind her leaving her master standing there.

"You're leaving?"

"I have to, Takato. Princess Cathleen wants me to come stay with her at her place. I almost said no but since my parents where right there, I couldn't."

"Oh."

"Hey, why are you so sad? I'm only going to be gone for a week."

"I better help you get ready." Takato said not even looking at his master.

"Takato look at me!" Lee demanded as his slave turned back with fear in his eyes, "I'm sorry for raising my voice. I don't want to go either ... I'd rather stay here ..."

"I wish you could stay here too, Lee." The slave admitted.

"How about this .... We'll write to each other." His master offered putting his slave's hands together.

"I ... I would appreciate that."

"Come on. I have to get ready."

"Right!"

With no other comments, they went into the closet and started to pack some of Lee's clothes into a big duffle bag in silence. It took awhile and before long it was time to go to bed for Lee. He walked into the bathroom and sat on the toilet seat and looked up at the ceiling. His body started to tense up as he felt tears in his eyes. Why do his parents make all the decisions for him? It made him feel soo powerless.

"Lee, are you okay in there?" Takato asked knocking on the door.

"I'm fine." The Prince replied wiping the tears away with his write band.

"You sure?" The slave asked walking in to see his master looking his way still tears coming down his face, "master, you're crying! What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Let's go to bed."

They both walked to the room, Lee walked in the closet while Takato laid on the cold floor. He rolled over pillowing his head with his arm. I don't think my master's happy here, the slave thought, if only there was a way to help him. Takato closed his eyes and fell asleep. Lee walked out of the closet to see his slave sleeping on the floor shivering in his sleep. He quickly walked out pulled the covers back picked the shivering boy gently laid him down pulling the covers to his shoulders.

**************************************

Ruki laid awake waiting for Juri to back. Fine, she thought, if she wants to ignore me .... fine! Bitch. Ruki sighed feeling really guilty that she thought that. The door opened one moment later; pale light came streaming in. Juri's silhouette moved along the wall as she made her way to the bed. She took her shoes off moved the covers back laid down pulled the overs to her waist.

"I'm sorry, Ruki-chan .... I shouldn't be so selfish." Juri apologized.

"I'm the one who should be apologizing," the other girl responded turning around, "that wasn't right for me to slap you like I did."

Ruki leaned closer kissing her cheek where she slapped her. Juri closed her eyes letting her lover gently touch her. Ruki smiled kissing her again, this time on the lips.
