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

Chapter 14

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

Ryou whimpered and nuzzled into the pillow as Pegasus tried to wake him, he didn't WANT to go to the vet. The bed was so warm... and his body ached. All he wanted was to lay still on the soft warm bed and sleep until his body wasn't so sore.

He yelped when Pegasus chuckled and simply plucked him off of the bed and began dressing him in his bunny suit, which had been repaired and washed, and looked as good as new. "I don’t like the vet!” he pouted crossing his arms as Pegasus finished putting on the final bootie.

"I know, I know...." Pegasus said, fixing the harness onto Ryou. He clipped the leash on and headed out the door, Ryou limping after him. They went down the stairs and out the front door to find the car waiting for them. Pegasus picked Ryou up and placed him inside, then climbed in with him.

"I have a special treat for you...” he said, then reached into the little refrigerator that was in the car and pulled out a baby bottle. "A fruit smoothie, just for you.” he said, and pulled Ryou into his lap, offering him the bottle.

Ryou looked at him and warily began sucking on the bottle, glad that he was getting a treat... but still frightened from the last car ride they'd had. 'Please don’t hit me....' he whimpered in his mind as he suckled the fruity substance from the bottle, closing his eyes and nuzzling into Pegasus.

But Pegasus did not hit him. On the contrary, he cuddled Ryou gently, kissing his face and petting his hair and ears and back, and just fawning over him in general; quite a different man from the one Ryou had crossed the previous night. When Ryou was finished with the bottle, Pegasus set it aside and kissed his little bunny.

"There's my good little boy....” he crooned, then looked up as the car stopped. "We're here.” he said, and got out of the car, coaxing Ryou after him. They walked into the vet's office, many people in the waiting room staring at Ryou, and Pegasus signed in then sat down in a chair to wait. Ryou crawled under his chair once he found himself the subject of the intense stares of several large dogs within the room.

Ryou whimpered. "They're staring at me...” he whispered as a large hunting dog began sniffing at Ryou from under the neighboring chair. Ryou looked at the dog fearfully and began sniffling, afraid it would be like Rex all over again. "d-don’t bite me...."

Pegasus glared at the dog's owner, who gulped and pulled their dog away from Ryou. Pegasus went back to filling out paperwork. Finally, the door opened and the vet tech walked out.

"Mr. Pegasus and... hybrid Ryou?" She called, and Pegasus stood and walked towards her, Ryou hurrying after him. They were led down the hall and came to a platform. "Please get him up here so we can weigh him." The vet tech said, and Pegasus looked down.

"Come on, Ryou. Hop up.” he said.

Ryou pouted. "I'm not fat!” he grumbled, hopping onto the scale and letting the woman get her information. He was already irritated by the strong scent of chemicals and cleaners. He pouted and waited for the woman to tell him whether or not he was fat.

Pegasus chuckled at Ryou.

"Why on earth would you think that you're fat?” he asked, and the woman smiled as well, scribbling down Ryou's weight.

"Do you know how tall he is, standing upright?" She asked, looking at Pegasus.

"I'm not sure..." The man said, and she nodded.

"Okay then... c'mere, sweetie..." She said to Ryou, smiling. Ryou hopped after her. "Lay down with your feet against the wall and stretch out as much as you can." she said, taking out a tape measure.

Ryou blinked, but did as he was told, letting his ears flop back straight, wondering if she would be including them in his height. "I'm not small either.” he mumbled pouting, feeling exposed with his belly in the air unprotected

Pegasus knelt and stroked the unprotected belly while the woman measured his height, not counting his ears. She scribbled the information down, then nodded and smiled. Pegasus nodded to Ryou, signaling that he was allowed to get up, and then they followed her into an exam room.

"Dr. Inogawa will be with you shortly." She said, leaving Ryou's veterinary file on the counter top. Then she left the room. Pegasus took the folder and opened it, flipping through it.

Ryou blinked and sat on the table calmly, watching. "What does it say?” he asked softly, tilting his head in curiosity

"Hmmm? Oh, not much, just your species, age, color, sex, height, weight, the basics..." Pegasus said. A moment later the door opened and a middle aged man walked in, pulling a cart behind him with numerous instruments on it that made Ryou's eyes widen.

"Hello, Mr. Pegasus, I’m Dr. Inogawa. Well now, what do we have here?” he said, shaking Pegasus' hand and turning to look over Ryou. "A rabbit, hmm? Never had a rabbit hybrid in my office before. What are we doing today?"

"A checkup, shots, and I want him microchipped." Pegasus said, smiling proudly at his bunny who was huddling nervously on the exam table, ears back and tail tucked down.

"All right then." the doctor said, smiling and petting Ryou's head. "He's certainly a skittish little thing."

Ryou whimpered inching back until there was no more table to scoot back to. "D-don’t hurt me...." Ryou whimpered looking at the doctor fearfully. "W-what are all.... the.... tools for?” he asked pointing to the cart and sniffling.

Ryou gave Pegasus a pleading look, hoping once more that he'd change his mind.

Pegasus, however, simply laughed.

"He's quite upset about this entire thing. Hid under the bed last night when I mentioned that I was bringing him this morning.” he said, and the vet nodded.

"I see. Yes, many hybrids make it quite clear that they don’t want to be here. If need be, we can move to another room where we have installed some effective restraints made to contain hybrids. But I only use that room if needed. It often frightens the more timid ones." Pegasus nodded in acknowledgement.

"We may have to, but I hope he will co-operate.” he said, looking at Ryou. The vet nodded and picked up Ryou's chart and flipped through it.

Ryou whimpered. "r-restrained?” he whimpered, staring at the vet with horrified eyes. "I.... I...” he hopped off the table and hid under Pegasus's chair. "Please don’t hurt me!”

Pegasus blinked and bent over, looking down between his legs and under the chair.

"Ryou...” he moaned. "Come out from under there and co-operate."

"Does he bite at all?" the vet asked, and Pegasus straightened up and looked at him.

"Well... Yes.” he said, hesitantly.

"I think it best if we move to the other room then." The vet said, nodding. Pegasus sighed and stood.

"Very well.” he said, and pulled on Ryou's leash. The people working in the office all stopped and giggled as Pegasus trudged after the vet dragging Ryou, who had all four paws firmly planted on the floor, after him. They entered a slightly larger exam room and Ryou found himself staring at a larger exam table sticking out from the wall with four posts, one at each corner, and a ring on the wall right above the table. Leather and chain straps and hooks hung from the posts and the vet began looking over several other straps and harnesses that were hanging on the opposite wall.

Ryou whimpered and shook his head. "Please no!” he wailed backing up as far as the leash would allow. "M-master please! l-lets do something else!" Ryou pleaded shaking his head. "It's scary in here!" Ryou looked at the table, the straps and the harnesses hanging and swallowed hard. "I'm... I'm not a bad bunny please!” he said struggling to back up more. "Don’t hurt me! I'm a good bunny!"

"Sorry, sweetie." Pegasus said, and pulled Ryou over and picked him up. He turned and tried to set Ryou on the table, but the bunny was now clinging to him as if to life itself. "Oh, for heaven's sake, Ryou!" Pegasus howled, and the vet chuckled as he watched Pegasus try to pry the hybrid off of himself.

"Here....” he said, helping the wealthy man to get the terrified bunny off. "CAN WE GET SOME HELP IN HERE?!” he called. Several techs ran in and tackled Ryou.

A few minutes later and they all left and Pegasus was staring at his poor terrified bunny, ears as far back as they would go and his tail was tucked down so far he was almost giving himself a wedgie. The straps were clipped onto his harness keeping him up on all fours and unable to huddle down. A smaller harness was fit on his head with a bit in his mouth to keep him from biting, and this was tied to the ring in the wall to keep his head up. All in all, Ryou could barely move and was looking ready to wet himself.

On one side, Pegasus felt sorry for Ryou, but the other half was thinking about how entertaining it would be to screw Ryou all tied up in that thing. Pegasus shook his head. No! Bad Thoughts! Bad!!!

Ryou whimpered, trembling visibly, trying to squirm out of the restraints and looking around the room with wide eyes full of fear. He couldn't even plead with Pegasus anymore, thanks to the bit in his mouth, and he couldn't hunch down, he was utterly exposed and at the doctor's mercy, and he'd never been more terrified in his life.

Ryou gave Pegasus a pleading look, frightened and unsure of what would happen next.

And what happened next only made things worse; the vet stripped him. Took his gloves and booties, and then, his entire bunny suit. And Pegasus just sat back and watched.

"Shhhh..." The vet crooned. "Easy, little guy... It's okay. You'll be done before you know it. I'll be gentle, I promise.” he said, stroking Ryou's back. "And then you'll get to go home, safe and sound, okay?"

Ryou whimpered more, shaking all the worse. He nodded as best he could. He shivered and whimpered louder, the chill in the room did nothing to ease his fears. 'Help me... I'm scared... it's cold and he's touching me...' Ryou thought, frightened.

The vet nodded and smiled, backing away. "Okay, let's get started...” he said. "Looking over his chart, Mr. Pegasus, I'd say he's a bit under weight. He's skin and bones. You need to get a little fat on this bunny of yours. And... mind telling me about all his bruising and these bandages?"

"Ryou jumped out of a moving car yesterday and ran afoul of a lion hybrid." Pegasus said. The vet nodded.

"I see... he's lucky to be in one peice, then."

Ryou looked at Pegasus with wide eyes and shook his head. 'That's not what happened! It was Rex!' he thought shocked. Ryou whimpered loudly however as the doctor gently prodded one of the bruises. 'Ouch! stop stop!'

The vet frowned and began to remove Ryou's bandages, checking his bite wounds.

"Hmmm... they're not too bad.” he said, and cleaned them thoroughly before bandaging them up again. "Okay, little guy. What do you say we get this over with?" And he put the earpeices of his stethescope into his ears and pressed the disk against Ryou's chest, listening to his heart. He frowned. "Hmm... poor little guy's scared to death. His heart's pounding...” he said. "But it sounds fine...” he turned and scribbled something on Ryou's chart, then listened to his back. "Okay, Ryou, take some deep breathes for me."

Ryou whimpered but obeyed, breathing deeply as the vet listened to his back, shivering and trembling from fear and cold. He stared at Pegasus, pleading with his eyes the whole time, to be rescued from the vet.

But Pegasus still did nothing. The vet nodded and scribbled again, then took a long pad with a tube sticking out of it and wrapped it around Ryou's upper arm. He began squeezing the little lemon shaped ball and the pad inflated tightly, making Ryou wince as it began to hurt. Then the vet pressed the disk of the stethescope to Ryou's inner elbow and looked at the guage on the wall, checking the boy's blood pressure. Finally, he released the little ball and the pad deflated.

"Blood pressure is good.” he said, removing it from Ryou's arm. "Let's check his temperature..." And Ryou let out a pained and horrified yelp as the vet stuck a thermometer up inside of his rear end... AND LEFT IT THERE!!!!

Ryou whimpered, beginning to struggle violently with the restraints and make angry clicking noises. His back end was particlarly sore; that THING was coming out, and it was coming out now! The fur on his ears bristled and he struggled all the harder. 'Master Pegasus's only!' he howled in his mind, managing to squirm his mouth loose of the bit and lunge for the doctor, though with the rest of the restraints still in place he didn't get far.

He was however a loaded pistol, and glared at the doctor, his ears back defiantly, fur bristled just DARING him to come near again.

"JESUS!!" The vet yelped, leaping away.

"RYOU, NO!!" Pegasus shouted, leaping forwards and forcing the bit back into Ryou's mouth and buckling it even tighter than it had originally been before Ryou even knew what had hit him. Pegasus grabbed his face and forced him to look at him. "NO!” he commanded. The vet shook his head and moved back over, picking up the thermometer that had fallen out in Ryou's struggles.

"Quite a little spit fire...” he said, amused, looking at the little broken peice of glass. "I have to go get another thermometer. I'll be right back." And he turned and left the room. Pegasus glared at Ryou, then gave him a firm swat on the behind.

"That was out of line, Ryou!” he snapped. "Do NOT do that again! Do you understand me?!"

Ryou gave Pegasus a heartbroken look. 'but... he was touching me... y-you said I was just yours... I was just trying to...' he whimpered in his mind, looking down at the table and sniffling. His rear was even more sore now, and his pride hurt terribly.

Pegasus heard Ryou's thoughts, and sighed.

"Okay...” he said with a smile. "I'm sorry. Yes, you are mine..." Ryou's eyes widened when he realized that Pegasus was answering his thoughts! "And I am the only one allowed to touch you... but this is a special case. He has my permission. I want him to touch you because he is making sure that you are healthy." And he pet Ryou's head. "Okay? Can you be good for me?"

Ryou stared at him shocked and puzzled. '....did he just hear me?' he thought puzzled and tilted his head slightly, nodding a bit agreeing to behave for the doctor. He whimpered. 'it...can’t be true...people can’t read minds...' he thought slowly, head still tilted at Pegasus. 'can they?'

Pegasus smirked and bent over Ryou.

"Maybe...” he whispered into the boy's ear, then backed away as the doctor came back in.

Ryou gasped softly, his ears shooting up in sheer surprise. He stared at Pegasus shocked,. '....I th-think....he can...' he thought dumbly. 'b-but how....?' he whimpered as the doctor suddenly gave him a cold surprise up the rear once more. Ryou yowled and twitched, trying his best to not attack the vet again.

'I wish we could just leave...' Ryou whimpered in his mind, his ears slowly falling back to lay flat against his head, the fur beginning to bristle again, the angry clicking noises returning, but he made no movement to attack the vet, just simple warning signs that he was greatly displeased.

The vet chuckled at Ryou and picked up an instrument. He grabbed one of Ryou's ears and lifted it, poking the thing inside and peering through it, looking deep into Ryou's ear cavity.

"Hmmm.... You should probably start cleaning his ears out, Mr. Pegasus, there's a significant amount of buildup in here...” he switched to the other ear. "Yep... same in this one... nothing alarming, but you should clean his ears regularly.” he moved around and shone a light into Ryou's eyes, waiting for the thermometer to beep. Ryou tried to pull away, but the restraints would not let him. The doctor then checked his nose, which Ryou was none too pleased about.

The thermometer beeped and the doctor quickly removed it, bringing a squeak from Ryou, and wrote Ryou's temperature down on his chart.

Ryou blinked a few times, the light having left spots before his eyes. 'ugh....' He groaned softly, his ears drooping a bit. The temperature seemed to have warmed up, and his trembling had ceased, but he was still unnerved. But most of all humiliated that his master was allowing this strange man to touch him so much.

"Has he reached sexual maturity?" The vet asked, and Pegasus slowly grinned. "Hah! I'll take that as a 'yes'. I'm guessing that is one of his purposes?"

"You could say that." Pegasus said.

"He's a young one... have you used him yet? Penetrated him?"

"Yes." Pegasus said, smirking at Ryou who was turning bright red. The vet chuckled, also seeing this, and pulled on a pair of latex gloves. Then, to Ryou's horror, he reached between Ryou's legs and fondled him.

"Yeah, he feels fine. Everything has matured properly. Sometimes with younger hybrids, the progress of reaching sexual maturity is slowed or stopped by the genetic transformation. To put it bluntly, sometimes I see young males facing the problem of only having one of their balls drop." Ryou closed his eyes and Pegasus grinned at the mental groan. "But everything feels fine with this little guy. Everything has properly... fallen into place, pun intended."

Ryou whined and sniffled, twitching more, the clicking noise becoming louder at the horrible joke. 'I want to go home!' he whined loudly in his mind, wanting the man to just send them home. 'I'm not sick! I'm fine!'

Ryou sniffled softly, feeling more than a little violated at the doctor's uninvited fondling.

But poor Ryou found that it wasn't over. Pegasus winced at the mental shriek when Ryou saw the doctor grabbing a tube labeled 'STERILE WATER BASED MEDICAL LUBRICANT' and squirted some of the gel onto his fingers.

"How many times has he been penetrated, and how long ago?" The vet asked, frowning at Ryou's tail that was tucked down against his bottom, defensively.

"Twice." Pegasus said. "Last night, and the night before." The vet nodded and snorted as he fought with Ryou's tail, finally grabbing it firmly and pulling it up and away from Ryou's rear end.

"Okay. Was any preparation or lubrication used?"

"The first time both were utilized." Pegasus responded, calmly. "The second time neither were used."

"Alright." Dr. Inogawa said, and slipped two fingers into Ryou making the bunny yelp. That gel was COLD!!! The vet chuckled as Ryou turned bright red and began thrashing, so he wrapped an arm around Ryou's waist, trying to hold him still. Pegasus stood and moved over, also holding Ryou still, but also petting him and talking to him, quietly.

"Shhh... it's okay, Ryou. He won't hurt you.” he said as the vet frowned and concentrated, pushing his fingers in further.

"Hmmm.... I am feeling some damage inside of him... You really need to utilize both lubrication and preparation. If you don't want him injured, that is. And if he's injured, he runs the risk of infection, and that can lead to illness, sexual misfunction... Not pretty." And he released Ryou and his fingers slipped out of the hybrid. He stripped the gloves off and threw them out.

Ryou whined softly wanting nothing more than to crawl into Pegasus's arms and cry. He was so utterly humiliated. 'he keeps.... touching me....' he whimpered. 'please.... make him stop please....' he whined pathetically.

Pegasus smiled and let go of Ryou, petting him gently.

"Almost done, baby.” he said, softly. Then, the vet rolled his cart over and Ryou turned and stared; it was covered in several hypodermic syringes, bottles, and what looked like a gun.

"Okay Ryou, you're almost done." the vet said, cheerfully, pulling on another pair of gloves.

Ryou whined loudly, his ears drooping lower than they had in a while. He began trembling again and sniffled at the idea of the pain. He'd been through enough pain yesterday! he didn't want or NEED more.

Pegasus continued to comfort and encourage Ryou with loving pets and cuddles as the vet grabbed the first needle, stuck it into the bottle and filled it with the liquid.

"Okay, here's your rabies vaccine." The vet said cheerfully, and to Ryou's horror, jabbed the needle into his sore bottom.

Ryou wailed in pain and clenched his eyes shut, tears beginning to well in them. 'it hurts! I'm so sore still! It's not fair!' he sobbed in his mind.

The vet removed the needle and tossed it into a labeled bin, then filled the next syringe and jabbed this one into Ryou's arm. The next two also went into his arm, but the next, unfortunately, went in his thigh, and the next into his rear again. Ryou squealed at each shot, and especially loud at the ones in his backside, for that was just adding insult to injury. Two more shots later (both in his aching bottom) and the vet was done.

"Okay, Ryou. One more thing to go." And he moved Ryou's hair to the side and swabbed the back of Ryou's neck with an alcohol soaked swab. Then, he picked up the gun-like object with, to Ryou's horror, a needle on the end of it. But this was no ordinary needle. It was as big around as a pencil!

Ryou whimpered and began struggling violently once more. 'No! NO!' he wailed in his mind, lunging at the doctor, despite his restraints and making furious clicking noises. 'Don’t!' he hissed in his mind. His ears were flat against his head, the fur bristled his teeth bared around the bit, as though he had found a way to bite, despite it.

Pegasus quickly got up and moved over, wrapping his arms around Ryou and holding him still. The vet poked his head out the door and two vet techs came in and also held Ryou. Then, the vet came up next to Ryou and grabbed the loose skin on the back of his neck and lifted the gun.

Ryou clicked and hissed, spitting and struggling fiercely against the vet techs and Pegasus and trying desperately to get loose. 'I don’t want it!” he whined in his mind shaking his head and slamming the back of his head into the gun, knocking it from the doctor's hand. 'It hurts!'

"AH!!" The vet yelped, startled.

"RYOU, NO!!!" Pegasus shouted, grabbing Ryou's ears and holding them firmly. The vet picked up the gun and ran back over, grabbing Ryou's skin and pulling up, then quickly jabbing the large needle into his neck and pulling the trigger, shooting the microchip cartridge into him. Then, everyone let go and leapt away from Ryou.

Ryou whimpered weakly sniffling and mewling in pain. He hurt in several places due to shots, and that last one was the worst of all! 'It hurts.... it hurts....' Soft tears began filling his eyes and he whimpered softly, giving Pegasus a pathetic look.

Pegasus smiled and pet Ryou, gently, as the vet slapped a band-aid on the back of Ryou's neck.

"Well, Mr. Pegasus...” he said, scribbling on Ryou's chart. "I think that's it." And he walked over and unbuckled the harness on Ryou's head, removing it and the bit in his mouth. "I'm sorry, little guy, I know it hurt...” he said to the bunny, petting him on the head.

Ryou sniffled and hung his head, trying to escape the vet's touch. "Please... I want to go home...” he sniffled. "I don’t like you....” he added pouting and whimpering in pain. "You're mean."

The vet chuckled and released Ryou from the restraints, then went to a jar in the corner of the room on a counter top. He returned a moment later with a little biscuit.

"I'm sorry, little fellow.” he said, petting Ryou gently. "Here's a cookie for you. Just think... you never have to get a microchip again... hopefully. And you won't have to see me for another four months, provided you stay healthy, okay?" And he held the cookie up to Ryou's mouth.

Ryou sniffed it slightly and pulled away. "... I want a celery...” he pouted not liking the cookie's scent too much "Do...you have celeries?” he asked, hopping to the edge of the table and looking down, wanting to hop down.

The vet chuckled. "I'll see what I have...” he said, and left the room. Pegasus smiled and walked over, pushing Ryou back into the middle of the table.

"Careful.” he said. "Don't fall." And he picked up Ryou's bunny suit and dressed him. He was putting Ryou's booties on when the vet returned and held out a stick of celery (that a tech had donated from their lunch) to Ryou.

"Here we go. Some celery for the good little bunny." The vet said, holding the celery up to Ryou's mouth while gently petting him.

Ryou gladly bit into the celery, and holding it between his two hands and began to nibble quickly, much like a gerbil. He was feeling very tired and hungry now, and the Celery was a good treat for all the shots he'd just gotten. He hopped back to the edge of the table, not liking the fact that the vet had started to pet him.

Pegasus smiled and clipped the leash onto Ryou's harness, watching as the vet picked Ryou up and gently set him on the floor.

"You be a good bunny, Ryou." The man said, watching Ryou hop out of the room gingerly, feeling strong aches in his behind. He chuckled and shook hands with Pegasus who took Ryou out to the waiting room, wrote a check, and then carried him out and into the limo. the car pulled away from the office and onto the road.

"There now. That wasn't so bad now, was it?" Pegasus asked Ryou.

Ryou sniffled and looked at him, pouting. "It was horrible!” he said pouting, laying on his tummy in the seats. "my poor behind...” he added sniffling.

Ryou's ears perked up a bit and he looked at Pegasus remembering the strange occurrence in the vet. "... c-can Master Pegasus read minds?” he blurted.

Pegasus slowly grinned and turned his only visible eye on Ryou.

"Whatever makes you think that?” he asked, chuckling.

Ryou blinked and tilted his head. "but... how do... you always know just what I'm thinking? or what I want?" Ryou asked confusedly.

Pegasus grinned and pulled Ryou onto his lap.

"I should always know what my little bunny wants.” he said, rubbing Ryou's hind end and flicking his tail.

Ryou twitched. "Please don’t... so sore...” he whimpered pouting. "You... never answered. Can master Pegasus read my mind?” he asked once more, sniffing him slightly, wondering if it was just his imagination, or if this Pegasus was not the real Pegasus.

Pegasus grinned and lifted one of Ryou's ears and whispered into it.

"Of course I'm the real Pegasus..."

Ryou squeaked and tumbled off of Pegasus's lap surprised. "s-see! Y-you can! you can can’t you?!” he blurted staring at Pegasus shocked.

Pegasus smiled and pulled Ryou back into his lap.

"That is how I was able to give you what you wanted when you couldn't speak, when you were blind, and deaf, and....” he kissed Ryou, gently. "I love my bunny. And I want him to be happy. But I don't read your every thought... I promise. I really only read your mind when you are unable to speak to me." And he cuddled the bunny.

Ryou blinked and nuzzled into Pegasus after a moment. "... b-but you can? I... didn't think humans could do that...” he mumbled sleepily. "Master Pegasus... can you sit in the back yard with me... s-so I can take a nap in the sunshine?” he asked yawning the largest yawn Pegasus had ever seen. "all those shots... made me sleepy..."

Pegasus smiled.

"No, Ryou... No outside. I told you that.” he said, petting his bunny. "When we get home, I'll put you to bed, okay?"

Ryou pouted softly. "But... I like the sunshine...” he said nuzzling Pegasus's leg. "I promise not to run.... please? You can hold me in your lap the whole time!” he added quickly giving him the cutest most pleading puppy eyes ever.

"I have things to do, Ryou." The man said as the car stopped. He climbed out of the limo and picked Ryou up, carrying him into the house. "And I can't keep you with me all the time. It's time you got used to staying in your cage more often." And he carried Ryou up the stairs and into the Bunny room. There, he stripped Ryou naked and placed him into his nesting box, closing and locking the door.

"You sleep tight, now." Pegasus said, smiling.

Ryou pawed lightly at the side of the cage and pouted. "But... but I want to sleep with you!” he said sniffling. "It... it's lonely without Tuc and Nod!” he said ears drooping. "... I don’t like to be alone..."

Pegasus turned and looked down at Ryou, his face suddenly hard. "Well, you should have thought of that before you jumped out of the car yesterday, hmm?” he said. "Now you'll just have to live with the consequences. I'll be back later." And he flipped off the light and left the room, leaving Ryou alone in the dark.


*~*~*~*~*~*

okay. There have been questions in regards to the fic. I am now going to answer them.

1. How big are the hybrids?

They are normal sized.

2. So how come Rem can pick them up?

Rem is not a small woman. She is quite tall and VERY strong. I thought it was wierd that she could pick them up, but my co-author insisted on it. The woman is an Amazon, okay? lol

3. Do the hybrids have fur or not?!

lol they have fur on their animal parts, like ears and tails. other times we mention them havin fur... ummm well... let's just say it adds to the animal affect.

4. Are we going to make Joey a dog?

NO!!! We are NOT gonna make Joey a dog!!!

5. If Ryou doesn't have the Ring and Yugi doesn't have the Puzzle and there are no yamis or magic or anything, why does Pegasus have the eye?!

Hey now... we never said he DID have the eye. We said he was missing one eye and could read minds. But no, there is no Millennium Item magic in this fic.

I think that's all for now. Please review!!!!
