Yes Master~! (18+)

[Shizukan]

------------------------- a few days later -----------------------------------------------------

It was early afternoon, and Shizu had returned to the grounds from a meeting at the Palace, retiring to his personal study, an old room that was kept clean and livable only due to the diligent work of Aijou, its shelves were in disrepair, and the old desk seemed as though it woudl crack under the weight of the books and documents that were always piled upon it. Almost more library than study, it was Shizu's favorite place to escape to. It was also where he entertained specific kinds of associates, when the discussions needed to be away from the many eyes of the Manor. It was also one of the few places his wife would never bother him at. He had been dressed finely, the meeting was with many court members of high rank, yet upon reaching the study he had released a few of the ties and bindings of the almost uniform looking dark long sleeve high collared top, discarding the short cape all together. He ran his hand through his hair, shaking it free a bit of the combed back look, to its more natural fall, not that it was very long at all.

He was not alone, but had a guest, a man with quite the ill look about him, sunken eyes that gleamed with a sadistic sort of glee, a smile that curved up just wrongly enough to be unnerving. Shizu had no real liking of the man, however he did appreciate certain talents he possessed, talents there we useful to someone trying to play the chess game of the powerful. Shizu had no qualms about using people if it suited a greater purpose in his mind.

"Make yourself at home, Ikkeda, and now that we've lost that stuffy group we can discuss some real business?"

The meetings were a necessary formality, but most of those attending, including the King, didn't want to know the details of what Shizu was up to and especially what sort of tasks he might have for someone like Ikkeda, they preferred ignorance, which in fact suited Shizu just as well, much easier to act without someone looking over your shoulder, and the King had been doing that much more than normal lately, so it was good to have something not be directly overseen again. Shizu was focused on business, however there was a moment's thought spared to the boy, wondering if Aijou was going to be about this afternoon and if he would be coming to the study. Usually one of the servants would come to offer refreshments, and most of them didn't come into the study if Aijou was around to do it. Still, they also knew their Master's work was confidential, and they might not come at all.

It didn't matter, except that he found himself hoping to see the boy, not having done so since morning. could he miss his servant? It was an idle thought and distracting from the matter at hand, so he pushed it aside. But that was only a temporary solution, for little did he know something was building much deeper within him, something that could not be pushed aside in the long run.

[TrueBeautiflDarkness]

Aijou had woken up early that morning like any other. His jobs being the first on the list, cleaning, dusting, washing, drying. The normal things that he tend to have to do while his master was away at meetings and all that. Though, most of the time he found himself often dazing off, wondering when the lord would return, while also trying to keep out of the mistress's way, who was taken the absence of her husband as a chance to have a little get together with some old friends. A few of the servants also took this time to slack a bit, not all that worried on having someone see them not working now that both party's of the house were to busy to notice their mistakes and laziness. But this all just Meant that Aijou had to work a bit harder, doing the work that the others were not getting done. It wasn't until later, when he'd gotten word that Shizu was back, that he finally felt a sigh of relief for the fact that others, too, now where doing their jobs. Chewing on his lip, Aijou tempted himself a short stop by his master's study, sure that he was there, to see him..Of course he'd play the respectful servant just wishing to see if he'd want anything...but Aijou knew the master had someone over.

Maybe he'd wait a bit? It most likely wouldn't take that long for the meeting, but he wasn't completely sure. He spent a good 12 minutes just trying to keep his hands busy, going over things he'd already cleaned, double checking the washers or to make sure the chief was preparing, or starting to prepare dinner for the night. Some times, Aijou would do it himself, but they did have a cook as to give Aijou more leeway to do the other things that called his attention.

But as fate may have it, Aijou found himself at the door to the study, standing there with a blank expression for a good handful of minutes before shaking his head and giving himself a light smack on the cheek to get back into work mode, his hand reaching out to fold over into a fist before giving a soft 'thud, thud' to announce that he was there, and stop all private conversations before he opened the door a crack and stepped in, head bowed in respect, " I have come To ask if you'd like anything to drink or something to snack on til dinner." he stated.

[Shizukan]

He turned his head, lips rising in a genuine warm smile as he spied the servant entering, finding himself all too happy to see him, suppressing it. It wasn't seemly for him to feel such warmth at the simple sight of a servant, and he certainly wouldn't be having romantic feelings about male. Shoving the confusing twinges into the buried depths, he simply nodded, the smile still there on his lips.


"Yes, I think some brandy would be in order. Ikkeda?"

He looked to his associate, whose gaze was decidely fixed upon the boy. Eyes that glinted with demonic wickedness stared as if t hey could look right through the servant, and the smile on his lips was a hungry one, like a cat spying a mouse. There was the hint of lust, while images of the terrible things he could do to such a lovely male played through his mind. His voice spoke, dripping with an undertone of deviance.

"well, how thoughtful, such a lovely....pet. Yes I'll take a brandy, I'm sure you are most adept at tending to your.....duties...."

His tongue licked his wicked lips. Shizu caught the reaction, but was more focused on Aijou, and having never bothered to find out Ikkeda's personal hobbies, finding this official ones distasteful enough, he wasn't aware of what Ikkeda did to young men. He simply focused on Aijou.

"Two brandies please Aijou."


Ikkeda's smile widened.

"Aijou, such a delicious name."

[TrueBeautiflDarkness]

Aijou raised himself up from his bow like state to look at his lord with a respectful smile about his face. It was one that showed how much he truly did care for his job, as well as how he honestly cared for making his master happy. No matter what one saw in him. Shizu had always been one to make him feel much more greater then anyone else. Giving Aijou a reason to have some purpose, and if that showed in his expression, he was damn well proud to show it.

Hearing the comment on branding, Aijou gave a light nod before turning his gaze over to the other male. Waiting for what he wanted.

Head tilting to the side slightly. Aijou felt the others stare on him, as well as the odd glint in his eyes. The whole situation causing his skin to crawl slightly as he reached over to rub his arm, It could have been the odd look in his eyes, the set of his mouth, or simple the feeling that rolled off the other male, but this... Ikkeda, or whatever his name, was giving Aijou the creeps. Maybe he shouldn't have come into the room after all? Oh well, he got to see his beloved Shizu after all. So he wasn't at all regretting it fully.

Aijou was about to state that he wasn't a pet, but held back. Feeling no need to be rude to his lords guest, there wasn't a reason to speak out to him...Besides, for all Aijou knew, His lord might really think him a pet, it was wrong to say he wasn't.

The other males reaction was just to weird, so at some point he turned to look back down at the floor, feeling safer looking at the unchanging ground then the oddly sadistic grin that was on the company's face. Maybe if he didn't look, the feeling would go away? Though..it didn't seem to be working so far.

"To Brandie's it is then" He stated with a nod before turning slightly to walk over to the bar that was built into the wall. Opening the doors he began to move about mixing the drinks up into glasses of ice, making as little sound as he could before heading over to give his master one glass, reaching over with the other to hand it to his friend.

[Shizukan]

He shot a sideways glance at the Ikkeda, as the man's lecherous attitude did not subside, but Ikkeda's gaze was fixed upon the boy. There was a flash of something in Shizu, something he didn't recognize, and pushed aside as he focused on Aijou as he brought him the brandy. His fingers brushed the boys, and there was another flash of something, that tingled up and down his spine. He smiled, before taking the glass and sipping some of the liquid, warm on his tongue as it burned slightly mixed with that slight sweetness.

He enjoyed the taste for a moment, then turned to Ikkeda to discuss business, however was stopped by another knock at the door. A pretty blond girl, one of his wife's personal servants, if you could call them that since about all they did was sit around and fawn on the woman, or fetch her things. Or int his case, deliver messages. She dipped down low, offering the Lord a full view of her cleavage, before giving a winsome smile and fluttering her eyes up at him. His devil of a wife encouraged her girls to flirt with him, in an attempt to lure him into an interlude and use it against him. Shizu had seen right through that ruse, and the rare times he did indulge in a woman's flesh he was careful and discreet, his wife never knowing. However even such as of late was becoming unsatisfying, and it was frustrating him. He never lay with his wife since shortly after their marriage. The woman was so vain and shallow he found her manner too disgusting to share a bed with, even if she was extremely beautiful. The girl spoke soft and sweet.


"My lord, the Lady requires your input on a decision for the renovations of the garden, and she stressed that it could not wait."

Which mean it he didn't go it would be hell to hear later on. So with a heavy sign he looked to Ikkeda with a nod

"Excuse me, I'll be just a moment."

He might later scold himself for not dismissing aijou first, but he did not, simply following the youn maid out the door to go deal with his wife, leaving Ikkeda and aijou alone in the room.

[TrueBeautiflDarkness]

Aijou felt his heart racing as he felt the Brush of his hands against his masters, His face flushed in a light shade of read as he glanced away, lowering his now free hand before turning to the other male to hand him his drink. He was going to leave right after that, but before the oddly creepy man could take his drink from Aijou, a maid came in with a slow bow, one to show as much as she could and then requested Shizu to go with her to his wife. Aijou felt his heart sank slightly as he realized he would never be able to tempt his young master such as she'd just done...Then flustered that he'd even want to become so lewd as that girl. It was very shameful indeed.

Shizu agreed to go with the lass, most likely to keep from hearing about this from his wife more on later. Lowering his head, Aijou gave his master a nod, giving his good bye to him, most likely going to leave right after him once he was sure the lord guest was happy and comfy for a wait to continue whatever talk it was they were having when Aijou had interrupted. He'd go back to cleaning what every needed to be cleaned and making sure dinner was coming along nicely, just before retiring for a break before night duties came to be needing done.

Letting out a sigh, Aijou turned to the male, his gaze tiring as he held the drink out. "is there anything else I can get you sir? As you wait for the master's return? I'm sure I have some snacks you can eat or something to read?" He asked unsure as to what the male would want to pass his time with. Aijou didn't really even know what all he had to give the male. It wasn't like he could just randomly dig through his lords things and hand the guy something to do. It had to be something that Aijou was allowed to hand out to someone else, which most likely would end up being something of his or something for all guests.

[Shizukan]

"A snack, something tasty....I think I might be in such a mood"

Ikkeda's words dripped with double meaning as the man stepped menacingly towards they boy, lust glinting in his eye. Long cold clammy fingers gripped like a vice around Aijou's neck and then suddenly the other dropped to the boy's crotch. HIs thumb stretched up, nail scratching along the boy's jaw. Ikkeda leaned in with surprising speed, tongue slipping out to run long and slow along the boys cheek, tasting and smearing the tiny bit of blood that welled.

"Indeed, I'm quite sure you will be a tasty snack....."

The boy's arms and legs were free for struggle of course, if he wished, but Ikkeda had that strangely strong grip on his neck. It was noting compared to the thoughts the evil man was having.

[TrueBeautiflDarkness]

Aijou swallowed slightly as he tried to back up before feeling the others hand grabbing onto his neck and pulling him closer and foundling him in a way that made Aijou feel sick. "s-stop it please" he gasped as he felt the others tongue moving over his cheek. The feeling that washed over him was nothing of pleasure or embarrassment, but rather disgust from what this guy was doing to him. His arms moved up to try and push the other off him, one hand pushing against the males shoulder, his other trying to get his hand off of his lower half. Still trying to struggle.
