Master And Servant

Chapter 6

"Hey Nemesis?" Rito looked up at his captor, who was currently sitting down on her couch.

Nemesis raised her eyebrow, "What is it, my servant?"

"It feels like it is getting late, I can't exactly be sure what time of the day it is though since we are so far away from my home, and you have blackout curtains hung up. Where will I be sleeping while I am here?" Rito asked his question, while looking around at his surroundings. Even though Nemesis has furniture up in her place, she does not have much up in terms of decorations. She has one singular picture of Mea that is framed, and she has a stuffed black cat sitting on a shelf in her living room.

"Well, I am not going to answer anything that you just asked me, servant." Nemesis bluntly responded.

Rito's eyes opened a bit wider at the response he just recieved, "Why won't you say anything back about it?"

"Well, you are my servant and I think that you need to address from the position of a servant. I will not answer anything that you ask me unless you call me Master." Nemesis got a devilish grin on her face as she glanced away at the stunned boy sitting next to her.

"You can't be serious, right?!"

Nemesis did not say anything to his comment and did not even look in his direction.

"I can't believe that she is really going to make me address her as Master! I am probably going to have to do that if I am going to get any kind of answers out of her, I don't want my time here to just be me getting bossed around and also being ignored." Rito thought to himself as he watched the tan girl just sit on her couch with a slightly annoyed look on her face, "I guess I should just do it to get it over with." Rito began to fix his posture and sat upright, "Master, could you please answer my question?"

The fake cat ears that were on Nemesis's head perked up when she heard Rito address her as her requested title, "Yes my servant. I have a small dog bed that you can sleep on. Aren't I such a benevolent master?"

Rito's jaw dropped a bit before he shook his head, "You want me to sleep on a dog bed?"

"Remember what I said about how you should address me"

Rito let out a big sigh, "Fine, Master. You really want me to sleep on a dog bed?"

"Good boy." Nemesis let out a laugh as she stood up from her couch and began walking to another part of her apartment that Rtio has not seen yet. "You can follow me into this room servant." Nemesis opened a door that led into a bedroom.

Rito followed Nemesis into the bedroom and saw that there was a queen size bed in the middle of the room, and next to it on the floor was a dog bed that looked like it could fit a dog of about 70 pounds or so on it. "You wouldn't happen to have any other bed in this apartment would you Master?"

Nemesis got a very wide smile as she heard Rito call her master for the first time without having to remind him to call her that. "No. This is the only bed that is in here, besides the dog bed that I have specifically for you. You don't have to worry about it being dirty or anything like that. If you are a good boy then I might let you sleep in the bed with me sometimes, but you'll have to do the things that I say to you for you to get that privilege."

Yuuki Residence

"So where do we want to look first?" Mikan asked the motley crew of aliens that reside with her.

"I think that maybe we could find out some clues around here in town. I don't think that Nemesis would just leave one clue of a desert and leave it at that. That's not a game that way, it would take way too long for anyone to find him if that were the case." Momo quipped, while curling a strand of her hair around in her fingers.

"Maybe we could get our father to help us find the beast?" Nana looked at Lala.

Before Lala could answer her younger sister, Momo interjected, "Absolutely not Nana. That would likely not go well. Father already has issues with Rito. I don't think that it would be a good idea to tell him that Rito has been abducted. He would just see that as a sign of weakness and might try to make it where Onee-Sama can't marry him again."

Nana let out a sigh, annoyed that Momo had a point, "I guess you're right. Then what are we supposed to do then?"

"Maybe we could go to my apartment and see if there's anything that was left there? Master knows that I like to be around Rito-Senpai, so there's a good chance she left something for us to see there." Mea unwrapped a lollipop and placed it within her mouth

"Alright then! Let's go to Mea's place and see what the next step to this game is! I'm still really excited, we're on our way to find you Rito!" Lala was jumping up and down in excitement.

"Man, Lala sure is excited." Mikan glanced over as she saw everyone getting their things ready and began putting on her shoes, "Momo and Mea are probably right though, Nemesis probably won't hurt Rito, but I can't help but think that she is still going to do some bad things to him."

The group began their walk from the Yuuki household to Mea's, formerly empty, apartment. "We are probably not going to find him in one day." Lala spoke out loud to no one in particular as they walked and got closer to their destination.

Momo looked at her older sister, "What makes you think that?"

"Well, Nemesis wants this to be a game. A game where we eventually do find him. She probably just wants to have fun with him before we do find him, or else she wouldn't have given us a chance to find him." Lala looked up into the sky with a slightly more serious expression on her face, "I don't mind playing this game, since I don't think Rito is going to get hurt, but I realized that this will be the first time since our father made Rito prove himself that we will be going to sleep without Rito there."

Momo looked at her sister with an understanding look, "It'll be alright. We will find him, and when we do you can spend a lot of time with him to make up for the lost time that Nemesis hid him for."

Lala stopped and gave Momo a hug while Mikan and Nana watched, "Thanks Momo. I'm going to try my best to get him back here as quickly as possible, and then Rito and I can go out and then get married and never be separated ever again!"

"We'll find him Lala, I want my brother back too." Mikan smiled as they walked into the lobby of Mea's apartment building. "Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever come to your apartment before Mea."

"Nope! I would invite you over, but I can't cook like you can, so I wouldn't want to let you down with my cooking." Mea sounded kind of sad with that second part of her sentence.

"It's ok you know? I don't need you to cook me a restaurant styled meal. If you made me anything I would be grateful and eat it without complaint Mea." Mikan smiled at the red head in front of her.

"Do you really mean that!" Mea had a twinkle in her eye and she ran up to Mikan and grabbed both of her hands.

"Of course I mean it. I do care about you, and you are my best friend's sister after all." Mikan laughed as Mea jumped up and down.

The girls continued their various conversations as they entered and ascended in the elevator. "Well, the rest of you have been here at one point or another, but here is my humble abode Mikan!" Mea welcomed the group into her apartment as they began to look around for anything that might have seemed out of place.

"Hey Mea, this is a cute stuffed cactus. Did you always have this?" Nana picked up the stuffed cactus that was sitting on a shelf and brought it to her friend.

"Actually no, I don't ever remember getting something like that. Can I see it?" Mea looked at the Cactus that was in Nana's hands.

"Sure thing Mea."

Nana handed the cactus over to Mea, who began to squeeze it and flip it around in her hands. "Hmm there's a zipper here, let's see if there is anything inside of you, my cute plushie friend" Upon opening the zipper she saw that there was a Polaroid photo inside of the cactus. "What do we have here little buddy."

By this point Momo, Lala, and Mikan had gathered around Mea to see what was inside of the plushie cactus. "Is that a picture of a collar?" Nana asked, not quite understanding why that would be in there.

"Just who does she think she is!" Momo began yelling out when she saw the picture.

"Why are you so upset, it's just a picture of a collar?" Nana looked at the younger sister.

"She put that in there because she is treating Rito like a pet, she is probably putting that collar on him right now and making him wear it. She acts like she owns him or something." Momo began grinding her teeth and was fuming while thinking to herself, "That girl thinks that she just owns Rito or something. I can't tell if she actually wants to have him as a pet, or if she just wants him because she wants to get in the way of my harem plan. Either way I think she is extremely annoying.

"So we have a picture of a desert, a picture of a collar, and a plushie of a cactus. So we can assume that she does have him in a desert somewhere and he's most likely wearing a collar." Lala thought to herself for a bit, "Well at least we have a few clues, we have to keep looking on the bright side!"

"Um Mea?" Mikan said softly as she looked and saw something materializing on her coffee table in the middle of her living room.

"Hm, what is it Mikan?"

"There's something appearing on your coffee table." Mikan pointed over to the table and the group went to investigate.

"It looks like it's a note. From my Master!" Mea said in an excited voice, while holding the note up.

"WHAT DOES IT SAY" The whole group yelled in unison.
