Pink Candy Neko

Still holding the sobbing boy, K kisses his temple. “They paid me a fair price and I can’t say no or it will be my head. Now let’s stop this and get in the cage,” he says into his ear. He gets up and opens the pink barred cage with a soft, fluffy purple pillow inside.

“But K!” Shuichi says with a quivering lip. He didn’t want to go and would make this as hard on him as he could. He squirms out of K’s arms and runs for the closet. He hides inside behind the pink fluffy clothes and props. K comes over to the doors rolling his eyes and notices the chain connected to Shuichi’s collar. He reaches down and yanks him out into his arms.

“Now, Shuichi. Now! Before I get your paddle!” he says, thinking if he’s mean, Shuichi will be more willing to leave him.

“NOOO!” He grips on to the clothes and pulls the whole wrack down. Code and Ryu hear the crash outside and wonder what they could possibly be doing in there. “But K! I wanna say goodbye to Hiro!” He wiggles as K opens the cage and tosses him in lightly. As K tries to shut the door Shuichi pushes back trying to get out; K thought he was extra strong today.

“Bad, Shuichi! Bad! Let go!” K takes his knuckle rap and cracks him on the fingers making him let go. Shuichi cries as he falls back and sits in the corner of his cage holding his hurt fingers. “You can see Hiro another time, I promise. The lord and the prince are waiting; we don’t want to make them angry.”

K’s heart breaks when Shuichi shuts his ears and closes his eyes. “I don’t wanna look at ya or hear ya! I HATE ya K!” He cries and wraps his tail around himself as K puts the cage on its’ wheels and pulls him out.

“He is all yours lord. Do you want to know anything? Perhaps what he likes or what he eats? He’s really just a child. To be honest he has many different mind frames; when he’s not performing he’s like a child,” he tells them. Code holds up his hand for him to be silent.

“I think we can ask and find out later K. It will be fun. The surprises of the new pet that we may have to train out of him,” Code says as if this was no big deal.

“What do you mean by that?” K wonders fearful now, looking at the scared hurt neko boy.

“It is no longer any of your concern,” Ryu responds looking at the club owner. “Don’t worry. He’ll be coming back for visits,” Ryu says patting him on the shoulder.

Code smiles as K reaches into the cage to pet Shuichi on the head. “I’ll miss you. Be good!” he calls after him as the cage is pulled away.

Shuichi sits on his hands and knees to look back at his beloved master. “I’ll miss you too!” he calls as the cage is pulled out the back door and loaded on to a big truck.

“You’ll love it with us little kitty,” Ryu grins, letting his sharp fangs hang over his lips.

“Please, I’ll be good. Ya don’t have to keep me in the cage. Can’t I sit on yer lap as we drive?” he asks giving them a very cute look.

“Perhaps the next car ride. This time you’ll be in your cage,” Code answers as Shuichi starts to whine.

“Please!” He reaches over and pulls on Code’s robes. Code raps him on the hand with his cane; Shuichi moans, sucking on his poor hand.

“I said no, naughty boy. When I say no that is final,” he says shaking his cane at him, making the cute neko flinch. They get into the truck and drive back to the manor.
