Chapter 11

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ryou looked at the window miserably. It had been two weeks since he had come home with Pegasus and someway or another; the oversized ribbon had found its way back around his neck... the dreadful bunny outfit back over his nudity. He longed to go outside and at least bask in the warm sunlight... but Rem would have nothing of it, and Pegasus did nothing to stop her. He sighed softly and rested his chin in his arms, watching the clouds float by. 'I bet the grass smells so good... and the dirt is so warm...' He'd slowly been losing himself in the 'training'… day by day he seemed to lose another piece of himself... the life he once lead. It bothered him, but he just didn't have the will to fight it anymore, not when it meant something else dying because of him. Ryou sniffled softly, lowering his eyes at the memory of Marik, convinced now that it was his fault.

Pegasus walked into the room and over to Ryou, picking him up.

"C'mon... Miss Rem will be here any minute.” he said, taking Ryou to the Bunny Room. But this time, he didn't put him in the nesting box. To Ryou's despair, he found himself in the exercise ball. So Ryou wouldn't feel left out, Pegasus put Tuc (who had finally gotten out of his bandages) and Nod into their balls too. And the bunnies were rolling all over the room.

Ryou lay in the ball and pouted silently, sniffling at the situation. "Please let me out...” he whimpered softly “I don’t like the exercise ball...”

"No Ryou, that's what today's lesson is, remember?" Pegasus said as the doorbell rang. He went down the stairs and opened the front door, admitting Rem and Rex, who was looking particularly eager this morning.

"Good Morning." Pegasus said, brightly. "His behavior has improved so much... but as soon as I put him into his ball he started to whine.” he said.

Rem smiled and nodded. "Well Rex will fix him right up." She said patting his head. "Won’t you sweetie?" She said handing him a small treat to chew, while she unclipped the leash from his collar. "Now be a good boy and fix our little delinquent bunny." She said watching as he rushed off eagerly to begin his 'work'.

He charged up the stairs, leapt over a bunny rolling down the hall and into the Bunny Room. He charged over to Ryou's ball and began to circle it, chuckling darkly.

"Good morning....” he growled, grinning. "Heard you aren't being co-operative in your ball."

Ryou's ears drooped and he whimpered. "Please... don’t hurt me I'm sorry...” he whispered, trembling softly. "I... I'm a g-good bunny...” he whimpered again.

"Then move your furry little ass...." Rex snarled. "Your little friends have gotten the hang of it." And he watched as Tuc rolled out the door after seeing Nod pass by. Both bunnies rolled up the hall and away from the stairs (after Pegasus had caught Nod before he had rolled DOWN the stairs)

Ryou sniffled and slowly sat up, slipping slightly in the plastic ball. "T-the gloves... a-and booties make me slip...” he whimpered, holding up his hands, the bells on his gloves jingling at the motion.

Rex blinked, then nodded, and turned looking at Rem. "He can't with the gloves and booties on.” he said.

Rem frowned. "Of course he can, he's just being whiney. Give him a push." She said smiling. "Not too hard though, we don’t want to hurt the little bunny."

Rex grinned and looked at Ryou. "Guess you'll have to learn to do it with them on. Now MOVE!!!" And he put his shoulder to the ball, getting it rolling.

Ryou yelped and scrambled to stay upright, slipping and sliding every which way, unable to keep his balance between the motion of the ball and the poor grip he had from the gloves. Though he did look absolutely darling scampering desperately to not fall over.

"See? There you go." She said clapping her hands, as Ryou finally lost his balance and tumbled over a few times until the ball stopped rolling, looking utterly dizzy.

Rex was roaring with laughter and Pegasus had covered his mouth and was "coughing". Rex circled Ryou a few times, and then charged.

"ROUND TWO!!!” he roared, and got the ball rolling again.

Ryou whimpered and once again scrambled to stay upright, toppling over his own limbs after a moment, and yelping softly when the ball collided softly with the wall, leaving him laying on his back, panting softly and looking positively miserable, though still unbelievably cute. "P-please no more...” he said in a soft pleading voice.

Rex looked at Rem. "Man... He really doesn't have good traction with those gloves and shit. Maybe we should take them off....” he said.

"Only if his master thinks we should, after all he's the one in charge." She said turning to Pegasus. "Would you like to take his gloves off? Or is he fine how he is?" She asked petting Rex, watching Ryou slowly sit up and look around dizzily.

Pegasus nodded. "I agree with Rex. I think we should remove them before he hurls all
over the ball... and himself." And he quickly opened the ball and snatched off the gloves and booties before Ryou even knew what had happened. He closed up the ball again and backed off, waiting for Ryou to get his bearings back. Rex grinned once Ryou managed to focus.

"Round three!” he announced, and gave Ryou a shove up the hall, in the direction that Tuc and Nod had gone.

Ryou gasped and scrambled, this time to stay up due to the ball's movement. He was doing fine for a while, until he noticed he was heading straight for the stairs. "H-help!” he whimpered, trying desperately to stop the ball's movement. "I-I don’t know how t-to s-stop!” he wailed toppling over and curling into a tight ball, as the ball rolled dangerously close to the edge of the stairs. Ryou sniffled, waiting for the impact of the ball's inevitable roll down the stairs.

Pegasus, Rex and Rem raced after him, eyes wide. "STAND UP!! BRACE YOUR FEET ON THE BALL! RUN BACKWARDS!!!" Rex was advising in a loud shout, while Pegasus merely repeated "stop stop stop stop stop!"

Ryou's lack of movement did nothing to stop the ball, but by mere luck the ball stopped, though it was teetering dangerously over the edge of the stairs, seemingly ready to fall at even a wrong breath. Ryou was curled up in the bottom of the ball trembling violently and whimpering loudly.

Pegasus Ran over and heaved the ball away from the stairs, opening it quickly and scooping Ryou into his arms, cuddling the shaking bunny and talking to him, soothingly.

At Rem's order, Rex climbed inside of the ball and trotted it back into the Bunny Room.

After it was put away he returned to Pegasus and Ryou.

"The ball moves as fast as you do.” he told Ryou. "If you run fast, it will roll fast. Walk and it will roll slowly. Turn, and so will it."


"I think I'll take the ball to a large closed off room for him to have his lesson in next time." Pegasus said, kissing Ryou's forehead. "My poor little bunny...."

Rem nodded. "It may be better to do it downstairs as well, just in case." She said patting Rex's head. "Good boy...” she said calmly, relieved that Ryou'd managed to stop.

Ryou sniffled and clung to Pegasus, shaking. "P-please... n-no more ball... n-no more b-ball...” he whimpered softly, tears rolling down his cheeks. "I-I'm a g-good bunny n-no more ball.... I-I'm good!"

Pegasus smiled sadly, and rocked Ryou as Rex and Rem left. "Shhhhh.... easy, Ryou...” he crooned. "I have a special surprise for you....." And he set Ryou down, putting the booties and gloves on him. "Follow me.” he said, and walked down the hall.

Ryou followed slowly in perfect bunny fashion, still shaking slightly, and he tried not to move too slowly. Ryou sniffled, as he jingled down the hall after Pegasus.

Pegasus took Ryou into the Bunny Room and got something off of a high shelf. He turned and smiled, holding a leash and harness.

"You've been such a good boy that I've decided to take you outside for lunch today. I know you've been missing the outside.” he said, kneeling and putting the harness and leash on his pet bunny.

Ryou held still, his trembling slowing to a stop. "T-thank you...” he said softly, lying down and waiting as Pegasus finished harnessing him, and got Tuc and Nod. Ryou nuzzled them and led by Pegasus, they went to the kitchen while the white haired millionaire gathered the materials he thought appropriate for their outside picnic lunch.

Ryou's ears perked slightly, once again resting beautifully against his hair. "w-will... there be strawberries? And... And cheese? And cookies?"

Pegasus looked at Ryou and smiled. "As you wish.” he said, gathering strawberries and a few cheese cubes. He then got one of the gingerbread cookies that Ryou so coveted and slipped it into the basket before taking Ryou's leash into his hand and leading him to the back door. He opened it and for the first time in so many weeks, Ryou faced the warm sun and the green grass.

Ryou grinned broadly and scampered out, tugging Pegasus along the massive well tended back of his home. "Ohhhh!" Ryou squeaked and stopped abruptly, and began sniffing in a patch of wildflowers that were placed in many areas forming a garden that was tended every day. "mmmm...." Ryou hummed sniffing them, before sneaking in a nibble.

Pegasus chuckled as he was tugged around the back yard by his eager bunny. "Easy, easy!” he laughed. "Don't pull, I'll drop the food!" And he gave Ryou a firm tug to make him stop. "Find a place you like, and we'll eat."

Ryou looked around, his ears twitching lightly, seeming to look for danger for a moment, before tugging Pegasus to a tree and lying in a sunny patch. "I like here...” he said softly, stretching in the sun and nibbling a bit in the grass that was tickling his nose. He giggled softly as Tuc and Nod romped in the grass, playing and seeming overjoyed at the warm sunshine and the wide open spaces.

Pegasus also watched the little rabbits play as he sat down, petting Ryou gently. He pulled out a carrot stub and offered it to Ryou.

"Have you missed being outside?" Pegasus asked.

Ryou nodded, chewing the treat eagerly. "Yes... so much....” he said in a dreamy tone. "It's so nice outside... it smells so fresh and alive....” he mumbled stretching. "It’s warm and wonderful....” he added slowly sitting up and looking around. "Roomy... and the birds... oh it's nice outside."

Pegasus smiled and offered Ryou an apple slice. Once Ryou ate it, he unclipped the leash from his harness.

"Would you like to go play with your little friends, Ryou?" Pegasus asked.

Ryou nodded eagerly, scampering out into the grass and playing with Tuc and Nod. They played what seemed to be tag, and hopped around in the grass, tumbling and rolling around gleefully. Ryou tuckered himself out slowly and stretched out in the sun, watching the clouds eagerly. "Mmm... outside...” he breathed happily, beginning to groom his ears a bit, giggling a bit when he noticed Tuc and Nod mimic his actions.

Pegasus leaned against the tree, watching. THIS was the kind of life he had envisioned when he had conceived the idea of making Ryou his own pet. There was only one thing more that would make things perfect. Pegasus smirked at the idea.

"RYOU!” he called, and when Ryou turned, he held up a tantalizing cheese cube to tempt him over.

Ryou's ears perked up, and spotting the cheese cube he immediately rose and hopped to Pegasus, sniffing at it lightly. "For me?” he asked sweetly, breaking out the big bunny eyes, the eyes Pegasus had trouble saying no to. "I'm a good bunny, is this a treat for me?" he asked softly, looking at the treat eagerly.

Pegasus laughed and ruffled Ryou's hair, affectionately.

"Of course it is!” he said, and held the cheese cube out to Ryou, who fixed his messed up hair before nibbling it from Pegasus' fingers. Pegasus smiled and pet him, before giving him a strawberry.

Ryou nibbled it eagerly, licking Pegasus's fingers clean of the yummy strawberry juices and beginning to groom his ears again calmly, looking utterly content. "Thank you." he said, eagerly accepting another treat from his master. "I like treats.” he added, smiling brightly. "Good bunnies deserve lots of treats!"

Pegasus smiled and pulled Ryou into his lap. "Yes they do.” he said, petting Ryou. "And who's a good bunny?"

Ryou nuzzled into Pegasus's arms and batted at his own ear, which was dangling in his face. "I'm a good bunny, a very good bunny.” he said yawning a bit, content in the warmth of his master's arms. "I'm a very very good bunny.” he said grinning as Tuc and Nod seemed to be snuggling together, to take a catnap in the sun.

Pegasus chuckled and hugged Ryou, kissing his nose. "You,” he said, tapping Ryou on the nose. "Are too cute. Are you ready to back inside, or do you wish to stay out longer?"

Ryou yawned softly and nuzzled into Pegasus's arms. "Can we come outside again tomorrow?" He asked, not willing to leave the outdoor paradise unless he could come back soon. "Oh please? I'm a good good bunny and I love outside!” he said pawing at Pegasus's shirt and looking eager. "I love outside so much, we have to!"

Pegasus laughed again, setting Ryou on the ground and clipping the leash onto the harness. "Of course you can. Now... back inside we go, get your friends, it's bath time."

Ryou hopped over and gently scooped his friends up and, carrying them in one arm, hopped awkwardly back into the mansion, unwilling to wake them from their slumber. He set them down once they reached the den, and looked at Pegasus.

"Can they sleep? They're very tired...” he said softly, looking them over. "Worn out...” he added yawning a bit, his ears once again lying against his hair.

Pegasus nodded. "Of course they can sleep.” he said, removing the harness from Ryou and scooping him up, carrying him into the bathroom and running a bath into which he plunked his bunny into.

Ryou laid his head on the side of the tub wrinkling his nose a bit, at the feeling of water on the fur of his ears. "Ick...” he mumbled, as Pegasus began scrubbing him down. "Wet fur...” he grumbled, batting Pegasus's hands away when he scrubbed his hair, trying to fix it despite it being soapy and wet, out of habit, wrinkling his nose at his own foolish behavior. "Wet hair...” he mumbled, letting Pegasus scrub his hair again, before once more trying to fix his sopping soapy hair.

Pegasus laughed at Ryou's futile attempts to fix his hair. "You're fighting a loosing battle there, Ryou.” he said, pulling Ryou's hands away from his hair. He dumped water over his head, rinsing the suds from it, then lifted him from the tub and rubbed him down with a fluffy towel. He then took a blow drier and dried Ryou's hair.

"There you go. NOW you can try to fix it!” he laughed.

Ryou looked in the mirror and shrieked at the over fluffed mass of his hair, ALL in the wrong place. "NO!” he squeaked, and madly began combing through it with his fingers, flattening it in places until he was satisfied, and looked once again, like he always did. He looked himself over, sitting on the counter in front of the mirror, inspecting closely for what seemed to be even a single hair out of place, before smiling and nuzzling the mirror a bit. "Ahhh...” he said grinning. "All fixed."

Pegasus laughed and picked Ryou up, carrying him from the room. But this time he did not take Ryou to his nesting box in the Bunny Room... he returned to his own bedroom, sitting Ryou on the bed.

Ryou blinked a bit, looking around confusedly. "I'm not going to sleep yet?” he asked softly, looking around the room a bit having never actually been taken into Pegasus's room before. The bed was exceptionally soft, and the carpet was deep crimson, and probably soft to the touch. Ryou inched near the edge of the bed and looked down at it, before giving Pegasus a quizzical look.

"Why did you bring me here?” he asked blinking a bit, and slowly crawling off of the bed to sit on the floor, not wanting to cause trouble by sitting on his bed.

Pegasus chuckled and placed Ryou back on the bed. "I thought I could use company, tonight." Pegasus said. "I miss you at night."

Pegasus smiled at Ryou's quizzical look and sat on the bed, pulling him into his lap. "You have your two little friends to keep you company, but I am left all alone."

Ryou blinked a bit and nodded. "It... Is ok to sleep on the bed?” he said sounding confused. "Because... Rem said that it was NOT ok to sit on the furniture, or sleep on the bed.” he said proudly announcing the rule that he'd committed to memory. He nuzzled into Pegasus's arms and sighed contently.

Pegasus smiled. "It's okay if I give you permission.” he said, kissing Ryou's cheek. "And I give you permission." And he kissed his other cheek. "You're such a good boy, I think you deserve some special things, like the trip outside."

Ryou blinked and nodded. "Special things....” he said softly, tilting his head to the side a bit, before grinning. "Then I am a very good bunny, and I am glad that you are so pleased with me.” he said proudly, nuzzling Pegasus's cheek and sighing. "I am happy when you are happy."

Pegasus smiled and nuzzled Ryou’s cheek, bringing a giggle from his little bunny. Pegasus chuckled and laid Ryou back on the bed, tickling him mercilessly.

Ryou squealed and squirmed. "Ahh! Tickling! Not tickling!” he giggled, tears leaking from his eyes. "Ahh ahh! Stop master please! I give up I give up!” he cried, trying to curl into a ball and escape the tickle torture that caused the fits of giggles. "S-stop!” he giggled rolling around and squirming to escape.

Pegasus laughed and ceased the torture. "Not much in standing up to a tickling session, are you, my little cotton tail?” he asked, still chuckling as he kissed Ryou's cheek again.

Ryou gasped for breath, still giggling softly. "I'm very ticklish...” he giggled again, and rolled onto his side and slowly sat up a little. "It's cheating to tickle me, you know I will always beg to stop!” he said, trying to stop the remaining giggles. "But if it makes you happy, I don’t mind begging."

Pegasus grinned. "Oh really?” he said in a sly tone. "Does the situation matter or will you beg for anything?"

Ryou blinked and thought. "If you want me to beg master, then whatever it is, I will beg.” he replied thoughtfully. "I like to please you."

"Good to hear." Pegasus said, moving Ryou and himself more to the middle of the bed as opposed to the foot. "You're a very good bunny." And he gave Ryou another little kiss... this time on the lips.

Ryou blushed softly, watching Pegasus closely. "Good bunny...” he said softly, his cheeks painted a lovely shade of pink. He sat up slightly and gave Pegasus a confused look, bringing a paw up to feel his own lips, looking amazed at the idea that he had received a kiss.

"Yes." Pegasus said, petting Ryou's head and kissing him again. "You're a good bunny. Do you want to make me happy?"

Ryou nodded. "Yes. I'm a good bunny, and I want to make my master as happy as I can.” he replied obediently. "I'm good; please let me make you happy master." Ryou added, blushing softly and once again raising a paw to feel his own lips.

"You're such a good sweet obedient little bunny... what do you think you deserve for being such a good bunny?" The man asked, staring at Ryou intensely.

Ryou blinked and hunched down slightly under the gaze. "Good bunnies get rewards… right?"

Pegasus smiled and pet him. "Indeed they do. But I wonder what your reward should be. What do you think?" Pegasus asked, rubbing Ryou's back in a sensual manner.

Ryou blushed and peered over his shoulder, spying the hand. "ah... I... I...” he stammered, not sure what to ask for or say, as this had definitely not been covered by Rem's training. “I... I don’t know..." he mumbled softly, feeling suddenly ashamed. "A-am I a bad bunny... for not knowing master? I'm sorry!"

Pegasus chuckled and shook his head. "No, you're not a bad bunny. I don’t expect you to just know these things... I just want to know... what do you want?" And his hand drifted down and flicked Ryou's tail.

Ryou eeped slightly and jumped, his ears shooting straight up. "m-master!” he yelped, tugging his ears down and squirming slightly. "I... I...” he swallowed hard and tried to hide the slight quivering in his ears. He felt strangely and Pegasus seemed to be the cause of it. "I... m-master... you.... I...” he stammered, trying to form a cognitive sentence.

His cheeks burned darker and he found himself squirming away from the hand that was tweaking his tail, and into Pegasus's lap. Ryou blinked, surprised and slightly confused as to how he'd managed to get there without noticing.

Pegasus laughed and caught him, greatly amused by the look on his face. "Oh, you want more, do you?" Pegasus asked, patting him on the tush. "Do you like that?"

Ryou squirmed and nodded lightly. "y-yes...” he mumbled bushing darkly, his ears quivering despite his attempts to hide it. "m-master I..." he squirmed and tugged his own ears. "Ahh...." he whimpered shaking his head. His body was becoming very needy and his genetics were making the feelings all the more intense. "please...” he mumbled leaning into Pegasus, trembling slightly from sensations he'd not felt since before Rem and Rex's little lessons.

"I thought you would..." Pegasus mused. "You like it when I touch you?" Ryou blinked his big red eyes and nodded. "Do you want me to keep touching you?" Ryou nodded again. "How do you want me to touch you?" Pegasus asked a wicked gleam in his eye.

Ryou nuzzled into Pegasus and moaned softly, even the slightest touches seeming to fill a deep void. "Please master... touch me... anywhere just... please!” he whimpered licking Pegasus's neck and clinging to him. "I'm a good bunny... g-good bunnies should... should be petted.” he reasoned, his breathing already shaky and uneven from so many weeks of neglect, his heart seeking a mate to fill the void left behind... "Master please, oh please...” he mumbled, suddenly kissing Pegasus and seeming slightly startled by the action he'd taken without his own consent.

Pegasus smiled and rocked Ryou, petting him all over. He moved down his back and arms, to his chest, and to his legs, nuzzling his cheeks, kissing him every now and then.

"You're such a very good bunny, Ryou. Is this enough? Or do you still want more?" At Ryou's little squeak, he smiled. "I'll take that as you wanting more..." Pegasus said. "But I think I've petted the good bunny enough. If you want more, I think you will have to earn it. Convince me that you deserve more, Ryou..."

Ryou panted softly and looked at Pegasus confusedly. "H-how shall I?” he asked, shaking his head trying to sober himself from the drunken state he'd entered when Pegasus touched him. "Please master... I want more... how can I earn it? Anything!” he pleaded softly, whimpering at the need that wracked his body. "I need...” he mumbled softly, gazing at Pegasus longingly.

"What do you need?" Pegasus hissed. "A good bunny has to ask nicely if they want to get what they want...."

Ryou whined softly. "P-please master... I need you to touch me... I... I need you!” he whimpered, trying to sound polite and submissive, despite the urgency in his body. "P-please master!"

"How do you want me to touch you?"

"However you want master just please! I need you!" Ryou moaned. "I want to feel you... I... I...” he stammered shaking his head. "Please I am your good bunny! Let me be YOUR good bunny!” he whimpered. "J-just your good bunny... just yours...” he mumbled pawing at Pegasus's shirt once more. "Please...."

Pegasus chuckled at Ryou's inability to voice exactly what he wanted. "You are not making this easy, fluffy.” he said, flicking Ryou's tail again. He ran his hand over Ryou's bottom and tilted his face towards him, kissing him gently and slipping his tongue into his mouth. Then his hand fell from Ryou's face to suddenly grip him between the legs. "Is this where you want to be touched?” he asked at Ryou's startled yelp.

"Y-yes!" Ryou yelped, nodding. "Please.... t-touch me there....” he breathed, his voice shaking slightly. "Master...” he kissed Pegasus and nuzzled into him. "Please... touch me there...” he breathed, shivering slightly, thrusting into the touches, eagerly soaking in the attention. He blushed darkly and looked away from his master's eyes. "... I...” he started. "I... want... to touch you back...” he said softly biting his lip and looking back to Pegasus, eyes pleading for permission.

Pegasus grinned at that. "Oh really?” he asked. "You're a very bold bunny, but I would like that very much." And he transferred Ryou out of his lap and reclined against the headboard. "First you have to find it." And he waved a hand, gesturing to his body.

Ryou mewled softly and pawed lightly at Pegasus's pants. "buttons...” he mumbled slowly working the button free and tugging the zipper down, rooting through the rich clothing desperately, wanting to please Pegasus and free him of the nuisances. "You wear too much..." Ryou mumbled giving up for the moment, gently stroking his length, through the remaining clothing.


Pegasus laughed at that and ruffled Ryou's hair. "Having a bit of trouble?” he asked, grinning at the pout Ryou gave him. "Well, you have to work for what you want, my little love bunny. I'm sure you can do it."

Ryou whimpered and tugged at the pants, glad when Pegasus helped him slightly, to remove them. Next he fumbled to remove the shirt, glad to have not nearly as much trouble. Ryou grinned and nuzzled Pegasus's lap, glad to see the only remaining clothing, was his undergarment. "I'm a good bunny....” he said gently relieving Pegasus of his final article of clothing, after what had seemed like an eternity to Ryou. Ryou looked at Pegasus proudly, gently stroking him at first. "I... figured it out” he whispered lovingly. "I can have a reward?"

Pegasus grinned and pulled Ryou up next to him. "Yes you do. You're a very good bunny." And he kissed Ryou's nose and flicked his tail before rubbing his bottom. "What does the good bunny want?"

Ryou shivered and licked Pegasus's cheek softly. "Master Pegasus... I want to be yours.” he whispered and gently ran his hand down Pegasus's chest, mimicking petting, as Pegasus had done to him so often. "Is... Is it ok for you to be a bad master? I... want to be a bad bunny.” he said sheepishly.

Pegasus blinked and looked at Ryou. "You want to be a bad bunny?” he asked, fondling his pet bunny. "And how do you want to be bad?"

Ryou moaned softly, stretching and arching into Pegasus's hand. "Oh please don’t ask me so many questions... they're too complicated for this small bunny..." Ryou murmured nipping Pegasus on the arm slightly, his ears quivering from arousal and excitement.

"Hey!" Pegasus yelped at the nip. "No! No biting!!" And he gave Ryou a little swat on the behind.

Ryou whimpered slightly and shrank back, giving Pegasus the most innocent eyes he could. "I'm sorry...” he said softly, licking him in apology and nuzzling into him. "Please don’t let Rex come back... I'm a good good bunny!” he added fearfully.

"You are forgiven." Pegasus said, kissing Ryou's nose. "You have been such a good bunny recently.” he pulled Ryou into his lap and pet him, flicking his left ear. "What does the bunny want now?"

Ryou nuzzled Pegasus and smiled lovingly. "I want anything you want....” he said softly, sitting up and stretching seductively, before crawling on top of Pegasus, looking down at him longingly. "What do you want master Pegasus?" he purred.

Pegasus chuckled. "Don't you turn this back on me...” he said. "You're a bunny, not a fox. I believe you said you wanted this..." And he gestured to his own arousal as he played with Ryou's.

Ryou giggled and kissed Pegasus. "Such a mean master... won’t even let the bunny play...” he said softly, gently fondling Pegasus's arousal with one hand. He closed his eyes appreciating the feel of Pegasus touching him.

Pegasus grinned and cuddled Ryou closer, petting him as he continued to gently stimulate his erection. "Oh? Do you think I am a mean master?” he asked, kissing Ryou's shoulder.

Ryou nodded softly and squeaked, shivering at the kiss. His mind was more than a little muddled with everything going on around him, and he desperately wanted to be dominated in the worst ways by his master at the moment, but didn't dare ask for it.

"Horrible, mean... torturing...” he whimpered softly, ears quivering.

"Horrible? Mean? Torturing?" Pegasus repeated, smirking in amusement. He pulled Ryou's face down against his chest and lifted one of his ears. "Tell me... how am I mean... horrible... torturing... I want to hear you tell me how I am these things..." And then he traced his tongue all the way up Ryou's sensitive ear, caressing his inner thighs at the same time.

Ryou gasped and froze, not moving, panting softly at the sudden strong stimulation Pegasus had caused him in those actions. "M-master.... oh master y-you.... you torment me!” he wailed softly. "I need to feel you.... touch.... oh p-please!” he whined softly. "Master Pegasus... I need you to pet me and stroke me.... good good bunny... I need to feel you on me.... everywhere!"

His ears were quivering sharply, and it was everything he had to remain still in Pegasus's arms, and even then he couldn't help the shudders and quivers that raced over his body at the touches. "Oh please... d-dominate.... good bunny..." Ryou murmured dumbly, grinding his hips against Pegasus's.

Pegasus blinked. Okay, so Ryou hadn't answered his questions, but even that jumbled speech left no mistake as to what he wanted. Pegasus chuckled and transferred Ryou out of his lap, grinning at the frustrated wail his little pet gave. He opened the drawer of his bedside table and looked at the several tubes of lubricant he had stashed in there, waiting for that very moment. But the dilemma was... which scent to use? He frowned and poked through them... strawberry... cherry... vanilla... grape... banana... pina colada? He sighed and just closed his eyes and grabbed one. Hah. Apple. Okay. He returned to his bunny, petting his lower back, flicking his tail, then rubbing his bottom again.

Ryou whimpered and moaned, a strange combination but he was fearful of this… but god did he need it. He desperately wanted to feel love... to have a mate. He'd been empty and depressed since he'd lost Marik... and Pegasus was a good owner... a good mate. He moaned softly and laid his head down, raising his rear slightly to give Pegasus better access to preparing him. His tail flicked slightly from excitement, and from Pegasus's constant playing with it.

Pegasus smiled and held up the tube. "Do you know what this is?” he asked. Ryou blinked and shook his head, making Pegasus grin. "I'm going to put this on you... umm... under your tail." And he squirted the gel onto his fingers, reaching around Ryou and smearing it around his entrance, making the bunny jump and yip. "Sorry. Guess I should have warned you that it would feel cold.” he snickered, wrapping his free arm around Ryou to keep him still. "Shhh....” he hissed, and then kissed Ryou, slipping his tongue into the bunny's mouth. And as he did he slid the first finger into Ryou's other end.

Ryou squirmed slightly, trying desperately to provide friction, to ease his need. He let Pegasus dominate the kiss, though not without a playful fight. Closing his eyes Ryou moaned softly into the kiss, and gasped as Pegasus added another finger, then another, preparing him. Ryou had to resist the urge to nip him for his discomfort, but was rewarded for the efforts when Pegasus stroked just the right spot.

Pegasus grinned and pulled back, letting his little bunny breathe... or pant, in his case. He looked him over and thought to himself that perhaps he should ditch the one piece bunny suit and just have the little guy hop around in his gloves, booties and a little white G-string. He chuckled at the idea and removed his fingers from Ryou. He then shoved the idea out of his head; he would have plenty of time to consider it later, and right now he was enjoying the sight of a very horny little bunny in nothing at all. Suddenly he set Ryou to the side and leaned back.

"There you go.” he said with an evil grin. "Did you like your reward?"

Ryou looked at him with such surprised hurt that it could have sent someone into a fit of crying. "Please! don’t stop!” he wailed, tears beginning to form in his eyes from frustration, need and hurt that his master had just suddenly stopped halfway through a reward. "Please! I've been a better bunny than just that!” he said shaking his head, trembling harshly from his own need. "Master Pegasus please! Please keep going!” he whimpered trying to slow his panting and quivering to give better reasons than that to continue.

Pegasus raised his eyebrows. "Oh have you now?” he asked. "I don't know, Ryou... I can be very stingy when it comes to giving rewards... and maybe I'm thinking of your continuous reluctance to use your exercise ball. But how about this... you promise to be a good little bunny and use your ball and I will promise that we can do this again sometime. But for now... I think you will have to convince me that you deserve...” he traced one finger up Ryou's erection. "More...” he finished.

Ryou whimpered and looked at Pegasus desperately. "P-please! I'll do anything!” he whimpered. "I'll use the ball! I'll eat those yucky pellets that are 'good for me'! P-please Master Pegasus! I am a good good GOOD bunny!" Ryou sniffled softly. "How...please I will do anything please! How will I make you most happy? Happy enough to keep rewarding me?" Ryou pleaded softly, giving Pegasus the most desperate look he could muster.

Pegasus chuckled, amused more than anything at Ryou's agreeing to eat the 'yucky pellets'. "You don't have to eat yucky pellets, baby.” he laughed. Then he looked down at himself. "I seem to be naked. And I do believe that it was your doing... I think you wanted something... maybe... this?” he smirked and played with his erection. "You asked for it... come and get it... you must learn to finish what you start. And once you have, you will get your reward..."

Ryou looked at it and whimpered longingly, he nodded slowly mewling softly. He crawled shakily over to Pegasus and nuzzled his erection lovingly, beginning to lick the full length as though he were tenderly grooming it. Slowly at first, almost torturing, because he could be just as provoking as his torturous master.

Pegasus groaned and was barely able to hold still. "Aaahhh.... good bunny... good good boy... ohhh....” he moaned, and was no longer able to hold still. He had to admit it, inexperienced or not the bunny was good at giving head. But suddenly Pegasus found himself wanting more. "Enough!” he barked, sitting up and seizing Ryou by the ears, pulling him away then throwing him down on the bed and moving over him. "Your master has been convinced that the good bunny deserves a reward...” he hissed, pinning Ryou down. "Do you want it?"

Ryou whimpered softly remaining perfectly still beneath Pegasus. Part of him was excited at the dominance and part of him was frightened. He nodded silently, not daring to open his mouth to speak. He couldn't help but feel frightened and somehow something seemed very out of place...

"Spread your legs..." Pegasus ordered, his single seeing eye glittering in his lust.

Ryou obeyed immediately, moaning softly and squirming slightly beneath his master.

"Good... good bunny....” he whimpered softly to Pegasus, his cheeks stained pink, his eyes closed tight and his ears quivering giving away his state of need.

Pegasus' smirk widened to a leering grin. Finally, after all these weeks... after thousands of dollars... he was getting what he had been after this entire time. He looked down to savor the moment... the sight.... he blinked. Ryou's fluffy tail was tightly tucked under, and was in the way. Pegasus snorted and pushed it back, but as soon as he had released it, it tucked itself right back in again. He frowned down at the quivering fluff. "Your tail... move it....." He ordered firmly.

Ryou nodded and moved his tail, at this point his ears had flattened against his head, and he whimpered and swallowed hard. Something wasn't right... something was.... wrong. He bit his lip softly and whimpered softly to himself, feeling very tense and at ill ease.

"More... wider.... there you go. Good bunny..." Pegasus crooned, but his voice was rough. He reached out and pet Ryou's head as he mounted him and moved into position. "Good little bunny..." Ryou was used to hearing those words from Pegasus, but they didn't sound the same this time... They usually sounded sincere, and filled with affection. But the way they were said this time sounded... sounded like how Rex would say it... a fierce predator to his helpless prey, not a loving master to his precious pet. "Here's your reward, little bunny...." And Ryou was startled out of his thoughts by the sudden rough penetration.

Ryou gasped sharply, biting down on his lip hard to prevent a pained sob from escaping his lips. His eyes burned and he gripped the sheets tightly, unused to this harsh pain, and rough treatment. Something about Pegasus had changed... and it was frightening him more with every second. His mind raced, trying to think of what he might have done to cause his master to suddenly turn fierce and predatory towards him.

Thinking however, was not easy as he was in more than a little pain.

Pegasus closed his eyes and groaned; this was better than he had ever hoped for. But he opened his eyes and looked down to see the pained grimace on Ryou's face. He bent over and kissed him, gently.

"Shhhh....” he whispered. "It's okay. I'm sorry. I know it hurts. Just wait, it will feel better. This is your reward, remember? I promise it will be a good one..." And as he kissed Ryou, slipping his tongue into the boy's mouth, he began a slow rocking motion with his hips, drawing out and pushing back in, this time being gentle and trying to eliminate as much pain as he could. He wanted Ryou to love him... to be loyal too him... and if that was to work properly he could not hurt the boy and leave him fearing the act of intercourse.

Ryou whimpered softly, slowly relaxing as Pegasus seemed to suddenly become gentle once more. "g-good bunny..." he whimpered softly, his ears still back slightly, signaling he was still on edge. But the blush was slowly returning to his cheeks, and his ears were slowly relaxing as Pegasus moved, and in time, the soft pant returned to the beautiful bunny beneath him.

Ryou moaned softly; despite how good it felt, something still bothered him... something was still wrong....

"Yes..." Pegasus murmured, placing gentle kisses all over Ryou's face. "Good bunny... and master is sorry for hurting you... scaring you... ahhhh... master loves his bunny. Because he's such a good sweet little bunny... Aren't you?” he asked, smiling down at Ryou, petting his hair and face.

Ryou nodded, gently licking Pegasus's hand and moaning softly. "I'm master's good bunny.” he replied obediently. "I forgive my master.” he said softly, moaning suddenly as Pegasus struck his sweet spot. "Ahh!” he yelped, shivering and nuzzling into Pegasus's arm. "g-good bunny... goooood bunny."

"Y-Yessss...." Pegasus hissed, craning his head back as he began to move faster, and harder, and thrust in deeper, hitting Ryou's prostate over and over again. "Good bunny... My good bunny... yes.... mine.... you are mine!” he growled, panting in his pleasure. "Say it..."

Ryou was panting harshly, trying to form words between his moans. "Yours! I... I am YOUR bunny!” he mewled arching slightly beneath Pegasus. Ryou felt dizzy, and shook his head slightly, feeling strange and not liking the increasing sense of danger that he couldn't seem to shake.

Pegasus smiled at Ryou's words and showered his bunny with kisses, caresses and praise. He rubbed his chest, then stroked his cheek with one hand while the other moved down between the bunny's legs and seized his erection, pumping and jerking it.

"Does... does my bunny... like that?" Pegasus panted between kisses.

Ryou moaned loudly at this and nodded. "Y-yes!” he moaned, panting harshly. He loved the feeling of Pegasus's hands on his body, how they felt perfect, and could instill fear in him, or stroke his fears away...

Pegasus was panting harshly, getting very close to reaching his orgasm. He placed both hands on Ryou's face, making the boy look at him. "You are my bunny... my precious little baby bunny...” he gasped, kissing Ryou. "And I love my baby bunny... my sweet little bunny.... master loves his bunny.... such a good little bunny... good little bunny...” he closed his eyes and grit his teeth, thrusting into Ryou at a frenzied pace, almost more than the poor little bunny could handle. One thing was certain; he'd be too sore to run in his exercise ball tomorrow...

Ryou gasped as he reached his orgasm, a release he'd been desperately wanting since the beginning. He arched and released his lust over the comforter and Pegasus's hand, panting as Pegasus continued to strike his prostate, adding to the mind numbing waves of pleasure.

Pegasus continued his harsh thrusts, which became short and erratic. Then he suddenly thrust in hard and deep and held, groaning out his own climax, filling his bunny... claiming him. Then he collapsed on top of Ryou, who let out a little squeaky grunt. But Pegasus didn't hear it, nor did he move. He lay there for a few minutes, then lifted himself off of Ryou and moved back, slipping out of his body. He then rolled onto his back and pulled Ryou into a gentle embrace, cuddling and stroking his bunny, nuzzling and kissing his face. "Good bunny...” he breathed, closing his eyes.

Ryou trembled, his ears flattening back against his head once more. He couldn't shake that feeling.... something... something was terribly wrong! He whimpered and began trembling more, feeling uneasy and frightened.

Pegasus cuddled him closer. "Shhhh...” he crooned. "Hush now.” he opened his eyes and looked at Ryou. "Are you okay? Is something hurting?” he asked, looking worried.

Ryou whimpered and inched back, away from Pegasus slightly. Wrong... something was wrong. "I.... I....” he stammered softly, ears flattened against his head, fur beginning to bristle slightly. "I...."

Pegasus sat up. "Are you okay? What is it? What's wrong?” he asked, anxiously. He grabbed Ryou by the arms and pulled him into close. Ryou crouched down and ended up with his head and shoulders in the man's lap. "What is it, baby? What's wrong?" Pegasus asked again, petting his ears and hair with one hand and running the other up and down his back.

Ryou whimpered and shook his head, squirming to back up more. "N-no...” he mumbled backing up, eyes widening at Pegasus, filled with fear, shock and hurt. "N-no...."

Pegasus blinked and watched the boy backing away, his ears back and tail tucked down, his entire being trembling. "Ryou?” he asked, frowning slightly. "What? What is it? What's wrong?” he asked, getting up onto his knees and crawling after Ryou, reaching out and petting his cheek. "What's wrong?"

Ryou shook his head. "N-no... i-it... it was you!” he whimpered shaking his head. "It was you!” he felt tears welling in his eyes, his body shaking violently from his trembling. "Y-you... y-your ha-hands!” he whimpered. "Y-you're the one who.... who...."

Pegasus blinked. "My hands...? I'm who...?"

Ryou felt tears sliding down his cheeks. "Y-you're the one... who... who had me kidnapped! I remember!” he accused softly, backing further away. "I... I could n-never forget those hands....” he said, trembling sharply. "Y-you did th-this to me!"

Pegasus blinked, and then looked down at his own hands. His eye widened for a moment then narrowed and he frowned. He was suddenly hit with his own words. 'I want no one touching him but me. I want him to be able to recognize my touch.' Well... he got his wish. Ryou had recognized his touch. Ryou had recognized The Hands…

Ryou backed up further, yelping when he fell off of the bed, in his own lack of paying attention. "I-it was you....” he whimpered shaking his head. "Y-you.... b-but why?” he sniffled shaking his head, almost too afraid to move. "Wh-why? Why d-did you do this to me?"

Pegasus frowned and grabbed his pants, standing from the bed and pulling them on. "Because,” he replied. "I wanted you. I wanted you to be mine. Forever. You're beautiful... innocent... gentle... you were flawless... then they made you this. And you were perfect. Everything I had dreamed of. And now, you are mine." And he moved around the bed and strode quickly towards Ryou. "So come to your master."

Ryou backed into the wall whimpering and shaking his head. "n-no... p-please....” he muttered softly. "P-please... d-don’t say that...” he said looking away, tears rolling down his cheeks. "I.... please....” he trembled softly, despite the immense hurt he somehow couldn't form hate for the man that... for every reason he should despise. He could only look at him in deep sadness... and fear.

Pegasus saw this, and knelt before Ryou. "You are my bunny now, Ryou. And I love you....” he pulled him close and cuddled him. "You are my precious little bunny, and I'll never let you go. I will keep you here with me forever. And I will take care of you. You will never want for anything. You will never be hungry, because I will feed you. You will not freeze in the winter for I will keep you warm. You will not have to work hard to make a living... I will do that for you. I will care for you for the rest of your life, and you will be my devoted little bunny. Is that so bad?"

Ryou trembled, despite his longing to hate Pegasus; he couldn't form the anger... the hatred at all. "I... didn't want to die....” he whimpered softly, letting his master hug him. "I wasn't.... ready to die....” he sniffled. "I... wanted to travel... t-to... see the world...” he sobbed into Pegasus's shoulder, clinging to him for comfort. "Why did you... you have to kill me b-before I was.... ready t-to die?” he sobbed shaking his head.

Pegasus frowned and stood, holding Ryou in his arms. "Kill you? I haven't killed you. I have given you a life of luxury you could only dream of. You want to travel? Okay.” he smiled. "I am a rich man. If you ask it, we can be on a plane to Paris by sunrise. Wherever you want to go, I will take you. Would you like that?” he asked, sitting on the bed and rocking his bunny.

Ryou sniffled softly. "P-Paris...." he mumbled softly. "I... I wanted to go there....” he looked at Pegasus with tear filled eyes. "P-Paris... I... I wanted to see it from the top of the tower.... e-eat... the food.... s-see the sights....” he sniffled.

Pegasus smiled. "Then you will. I will take you.” he said, kissing Ryou's nose.

Ryou whimpered softly, sniffling. "P-Paris...” he said hiccupping softly. "b-but they won’t let me... I'm not human.... I can’t go to anything....” he whimpered burying his face in Pegasus's neck and shoulder. "Not... human..."

"Of course you can, sweetheart." Pegasus smiled, and moved up the bed, climbing under the covers and tucking Ryou in beside him. "What else could you ask for?"

And Ryou’s mind was suddenly assaulted by an image… an image of a tan, lean body with golden hair and a loving smile… an image that disappeared as quickly as it had come…
