Keith didn't extract his face from her chest. "Hit me and I won't tell you very vital things about the war and your role as a master."

Neron took the frying pan from her hands and set it down. "Perhaps...we should let him talk."

"Not here," he said, finally moving his face from her bosom. "You're coming to my place. I've got some costumes that would work wonders on Mia."

Mia whimpered. "I don't want to wear a costume..."

Sophitia laughed hard. "Join the club."

Keith smirked. "Well, if you want the information you'll wear one." With that he began whistling as he led Sophitia out to his car, Neron and Mia following after him.

"First I want to stop by the farm house. I need to get my clothes from there. I don't have any extra for Neron or myself...obviously this skirt and shirt are old...they are tight," she said and grabbed Neron's hand. She wasn't wearing a bra either and she knew it was obvious.

Keith waved his hand. "Don't worry about clothes, I've got stuff you can wear...or not wear. Either way it's fine."

Neron looked down at her, and swallowed heard at the tell tale signs of her not wearing a bra. He pulled her into his chest as they got into the back seat of Keith's car and started for his house.

"I like my clothes...they cover things I like covered."

Keith shrugged. "Yeah, not my problem. You've got great boobs. You should flaunt them."

Neron's blade rested by Keith's head. "Leave her chest out of this discussion."

Keith laughed at this. "Oh, a might bit touchy are we? What, it's not like she's your girlfriend. She's your master. She's free to fool around if she wants."

Mia narrowed her eyes. "I don't want to fool around. And so what if I want to be with him. He's not your pet, so back off."

Keith smirked. "So he's your pet?"

"I said he's not your pet. There is a huge difference."

"Well, if he's not my pet than he has to be someone's pet. Sophitia is my pet. She's a good one too."

Sophitia groaned. "I hate my life."

Mia laughed. "Yes, well, Neron and I have an equal-ness in this relationship. Because I've had to do a lot on my own and his memory loss...we've only had to rely on each other. I don't want him to feel like he has to be forced to be with me. I want to be with him and he wants to be with me."

Keith laughed as he stroked Sophitia's very exposed legs. "It's not that bad. At least the sex is great."

Neron rolled his eyes and pulled Mia closer to him as if in an attempt to protect her from Keith's perverseness. "Fair warning. You get anywhere near her with your thing and I will cut it off."

"Fair warning. I don't wear clothes around the house."

Mia shivered lightly. "Keith...I don't want your help if you are just going to blackmail me into doing what you want me to. I've been doing ok with just me and Neron."

"Trust me, Mia, you may not want it, but you're going to need to know what I know." The car slowed as they pulled up to his house. While it wasn't enormous, it was obvious that he came from wealth. Getting out of the car, he slapped Sophitia's ass as they walked inside. Turning on the lights, he motioned to the living room. "Make yourselves at home. Me and Mia have to talk."

Neron's blade slid from his arm. "I'm warning you."

"Don't worry. Nothing's going to happen that she doesn't want to happen." Pulling Mia along he pushed her into a room. While she sat on the bed he opened up the closet and pulled out some costumes. "Okay. What do you want, bunny girl or sexy nurse?"

"I'd rather you kill me," she said crossing her arms and glaring at him.

"Okay, a compromise. Pick a costume, skimpy underwear, and some pictures...and in return I'll tell you all about Neron's past," he said as he looked back at her.

"Again, death is sounding rather pleasant," she said pulling at her skirt, wishing it was longer.

Keith smirked and tossed the bunny costume onto the bed. "Okay, do it this once, and no more perveted jokes from me for as long as you stay here."

"No pictures or video cameras. I won't be another one of those girl, Keith. I want to be more than just some girl you fool with and use. Our friendship means a lot to me."

He pouted. "Fine, fine, but you gotta wear it for the rest of the day till I can get you some more clothes. I'm certain that Neron won't mind the outfit."

She pointed to the door. "You aren't getting a show while I change."

Keith's jaw dropped. "What!? Why!?"

Mia glared at him. Opening the door, she pushed him out then locked it. Her eyes fell on the bunny costume. "Sophitia was right...this life sucks." Stripping, she changed into it quickly adding the thigh high stocking and the high black heels. She put on the little tail and the bunny ears then unlocked the door with a scarlet face.

Keith whistled as he saw her figure in the revealing costume. An instant hard on was his reward. "Very nice," he smirked as his eyes ravaged her body.

"Stop staring and start talking," she said turning from him.

The back view was even better as the back of it equated to a very thin thong. He shuddered, trying hard not to rub himself through his pants as he walked and sat down on the bed, motioning for her to sit beside him. "What do you want to know first? Bad news. Good news. Worse news. Past news. What?"

She chose to sit in the chair across the room and pulled a blanket over her. "All the news."

Keith pouted as she did this. "Fine," he muttered. "Well, the good news is that as long as you're screwing Neron there's no chance of you getting pregnant." He reached into his pocket and lit up a cigarette. "The bad news is that Neron's probably going to die really soon." With that he exhaled.

Mia paled. "Don't pause like that. Tell me everything."

"During the last tournament, Neron did something which pissed the gods off. Well, he'd been doing a lot of things to piss them off. They said that it was unfair for him to keep winning, so this time they decided to punish him. To make it to where he couldn't win."

"I said don't pause."

He smirked and took another draw of his cigarette. "Well, its because of that, that's why he was punished. First by being delayed thirty years and secondly by being placed with you. Everyone else got a master that was a congressman, world leader, dictator, whatever.... He got you."

Mia's heart fell. So he wasn't meant for her. It was just placed that way as a punishment. Reaching up, she took the ears off her head. She didn't care if Keith would object. At the moment not a lot mattered except that Neron was 'stuck' with her. She looked down at her ears and brushed at them sadly. Her heart was breaking. "What did he do?" she whispered.

"He tried to defy the gods," he told her. "After winning his third tournament, the gods grew weary of Perses always winning. Evidently he got outraged by their judgment, and they used that as an excuse to wipe his memory and keep him from winning again."

"Instead of punishing Perses, they punished Neron? How stupid is that?" She couldn't help the tears clouding her eyes. Maybe she was better off not knowing that she was a punishment. How would she be able to tell Neron?

"They cannot use their powers against each other. If the gods were to fight it would destroy the universe, hence the reason they use the warriors which are the vessels for their power," he explained to her. "When Neron won the last tournament, he had a human master that he'd fallen in love with. After winning the tournament, he asked the gods why they did not free him. Why they did not make him human once more."

Keith frowned as he looked at her. "Their response was that they had no intention of freeing him. He tried to attack them, but there was really nothing he could do. His master, whom he loved stood by, and when it came time to make her wish she wished that her life would go back to exactly how it was before she met him. The gods did as she requested, and then they cursed Neron."

Shaking his head, he ran his fingers through his hair. "That being said, I don't see how he can win if all the gods want him to lose."

Mia couldn't help but cry now. She clutched the blanket tightly against her while thinking of wrong everything had suddenly turned. Not only was she a punishment for him, but she wasn't the first master he cared about. And that master didn't even want to spend her life with him. She just wished to go back to her normal life. What was the point in risking her life when she was just a pone for the Gods little tricks? She would never get to keep him even if by chance they did win. If she wished for his freedom, she most likely wouldn't be granted it. It was just her luck to fall for a person who was doomed to die.

Placing her hand over her heart, she could literally feel the cracks taking form and pulling at everything.

Keith got up as she started to cry. "Hey, I'm sorry," he said. "This is the reason I didn't want you to fall for him."

Neron pushed the door open as he looked at Mia. Seeing her attire and seeing Keith, he quickly shoved Keith to the bed. Kneeling by her, he took her face in his hands. "What did he do to you? What's wrong?"

Mia looked at him. "I'm a failure...I'm your punishment..." she whispered. She buried her hands in her face as the sinking feeling washed over her. Was she the worse person the Gods could think to stick him with?

Keith sighed. "I'll leave you two alone." Shutting the door behind him, he whistled for Sophitia. "Mia started something and now you have to finish it," he said as he motioned to his pants.

Neron lifted up her mostly naked form and set her on the bed. He leaned over and stroked her face. "What do you mean you're my punishment?"

Mia curled up in a ball and covered herself with the blanket. She hugged herself as she went over everything Keith had just told her. She emphasized the love he had for his master and how she was his resulting punishment for his rebellion. She cried the whole time with her eyes shut tightly. Everything hurt so much. "I'm guessing she was Elyssa..."

"I see." He laid beside her and pulled her close to his chest. "I do not wish to believe what you are saying is true. I have won the tournament, yet I have never been granted by freedom." His heart hurt, both because of his inescapable situation and because of Mia's pain. He stroked her back and pressed his lips to her forehead. "I cannot remember my own past, so I can only hope that what Keith told you is true. Even if it is an awful truth, it might be one of the few truths that I have."

She pulled from him. "Don't act so calm about this, Neron. It changes everything. All of it changes everything...everything we have been working for everything we feel." She turned from him while letting the tears stain Keith's costume. "Keith was right...it's all just the bond we are feeling. The next master you have you will forget all about me like Elyssa...she didn't even wish to be with you."

"So because she did not wish to be with me, neither do you?"

"That's not what I'm saying!" she yelled. "I'm saying that even if we by some chance win this and I wish to keep you, do you honestly think they will grant my wish?" She turned to him. "You loved her and you forgot her...I don't want to be just any girl. You know that."

"You make it sound as if I had a choice in any of that," he said as his eyes narrowed. "I'm fairly certain that the fact that I remember her name even though the gods wiped my memory should attest to the depth of my feelings. I do not do things frivolously, nor do I give myself easily."

"How would you know? You don't remember anything!" she snapped. "For all you know, you could have been with every female master you have had and I am just another girl. A girl the God's gave you as a punishment, and so far I'm doing a great job as a screw up."

"Forgive me for being cursed by the gods!" he snapped. "Forgive me, for not having a memory. Forgive me, for now knowing, that in addition to losing my family, I also lost someone I cared deeply for, someone whose face I can't even remember now, and for now losing you! Forgive me, for actually believing that we had a chance after I've tackled two immortals with thirty years on me." He began to pace in the room, trying to keep his emotions in check. That was all he needed for his anger to pour out onto her.

"I'm so sorry you're life is so freaking hard! Do you think I asked for this!? Do you think I just woke up and said 'hey, I think I'll find a demi God, become his punishment, fall in love with him, and break my heart?' You are not the only one that got fucked over, Neron!" she screamed. Grabbing a pillow she threw it at him. "You are the first guy I let do a lot of things! Do you think I just wanted to torture myself!? You can't just expect me to sit here and be ok with all this when you can't even tell me how many woman you have slept with or cared about! It hurts to know that you not only had a wife before me, but another lover! God! Did you think I would just shrug it off!? This is my heart they are fucking with!"

Neron stopped and looked at her. "You fell in love with me?"

Mia froze and pulled the blanket tighter around her. "Out of all that yelling...that was all you caught?"

"Everything after that was sort of mumbled," he told her as he walked back toward the bed.

She blushed and turned her face from him. "Don't look at me like that. Makes me feel funny..."

He sat down on the bed and made her look at him once his face was inches from hers. "You mean like this? How does it make you feel funny? I cannot feel it, so tell me."

Her eyes scanned his as she took deep breaths. "That's because I've made sure to keep most my feelings in check..." she said lowly.
