Previous Part:Four

Sakurai leant against the door after Ninomiya had gone inside, at some points he had been tempted to go in but Matsumoto had grabbed his arm tightly his fingers like a vice. Masaki sounded so lost and frightened, his voice trembled when the brat said that he had to go home,

“Nino knows what he’s doing” Matsumoto hissed in his ear, and Sakurai nodded slowly though he really was worried. Wouldn’t doing things this way just hurt Masaki more? And why was he so worried, he didn’t know the boy, but he thought he would take someone truly heartless not to care when they saw the cuts and the fear in Masaki’s eyes. Though Sakurai was also moved by the way Masaki’s eyes had lifted with a small amount of happiness too when he had eaten the food and the tiny smile when he had called him ‘Good Boy’, he could imagine him with a lot bigger smile and he decided that he really did want to see it.

“And did you want to leave?” Nino was asking in an almost emotionless voice and Sakurai wondered how anyone could stay as calm as Ninomiya was in this situation.

“Yes” He heard Masaki answer and he could guess that it was against his will, by the way he suddenly started crying. He tried to pull against Matsumoto’s hand but his friend continued to hold him tightly “He hurt me… I wanted to go…I deserve to be punished…Master was good to me and I wanted to leave… I have to get back to him, he will need me to cook for him… He will be so cross…”

More anger crept into Sakurai’s heart, even after all that Masaki still believed that he had to go back. This had to be a part of his programming but he would have thought that Masaki would have been glad to be free. Matsumoto saw the confusion on his face and put a finger to his lips,

“It’s okay, Masaki” Ninomiya’s voice had changed, it was no longer cool and calm but trembled slightly and this time Matsumoto tensed. “It’ll be okay… Do you remember anything about your master? What is the last thing you remember before Sakurai-sama?”

“I… Um…” Masaki’s voice sounded faint, as if he was remembering something, a loud scream filled the air and then “Blood there was so much blood”

“Matsumoto-sama…” Ninomiya said and Sakurai and Matsumoto came into the room quickly. Masaki had fainted again slouched over Ninomiya and Sakurai quickly lay him back down on the bed stroking the tears away from his face while Matsumoto pulled Ninomiya to his feet and dragged him out of the room. Sakurai sat on the bed watching Masaki’s face, thinking about what he had just said ‘Blood… There was so much blood…’

Although there had been a lot of cuts on Masaki’s chest none of them had been fresh, so whose blood was he talking about? Having Ninomiya talk to him had only given him more questions. Once he had made sure that Masaki was sleeping peacefully, he left the bedroom and was about to go into the living room but stopped when he saw what was happening.

Ninomiya was on his knees in front of Matsumoto, his head bowed deeply, his shoulders were shaking and for one brief moment Sakurai thought that he had caught them in the middle of an intimate act. Slowly Matsumoto reached down and tilted the smaller guy’s face up and the CEO saw that Ninomiya was crying slightly.

“Stop crying” Matsumoto said, in a commanding tone and to Sakurai’s amazement, Ninomiya did just that. Wiping his eyes with the back of his hand quickly “I’m the only reason you’re allowed to cry or did you forget that?”

“No, Matsumoto-sama, I’m sorry” Ninomiya breathed shakily.

“Get up off the floor” the lawyer said moving away from him looking at Sakurai as Nino got to his feet. Sakurai had never seen Matsumoto acting so much like a ‘master’ and after Masaki that thought terrified him “Make us a drink”

“Yes” Ninomiya said nodding his head and rushing off into the kitchen. Matsumoto gave a half smile playing with the key around his throat

“So what do you think?” Sakurai asked ignoring the question that as going around in his head, Matsumoto dropped the key and pinched his nose

“I don’t think this is just programming… I think the kid might have killed his master” he answered “Or at least his subconscious thinks he did… I think his master finally went too far and he had enough…”

“Would it surprise you if he did?” Sakurai muttered and Matsumoto shook his head

“No it wouldn’t surprise me” He agreed “But we have to find out where this guy is”

“I know…” Sakurai said though he couldn’t imagine what would happen to Masaki if they did find out that he had killed his former master. Even after everything that had happened on some level Masaki treated his master as if he was the beginning and the end of his world.

“If you keep pushing him he’ll snap…” Ninomiya said softly coming back into the room carrying a tray of drinks. “Masaki… He trusts Sakurai-san, I think you would have more joy out of him than even I would… But you have to be nice to him, that’s what he needs right now”

“Nino…” Matsumoto said in a steady voice and Nino fell silent his eyes going to the key around his throat.

“I’m sorry, Matsumoto-sama…”

“You have a good point though… I do think you should do this slowly, get him to trust you, if you force it he might never recover...” Matsumoto told him stroking his cheek lightly before taking a cup from the tray, Sakurai took the second one that was offered thinking about Masaki and how he was going to get through to him. He half wished that he didn’t have to, the way the teenagers voice shook when he talked about it he didn’t want to keep pushing things and hurt him anymore than he already had been hurt.

“Just focus on getting him to trust you, the rest should come naturally and you won’t hurt him…” Matsumoto said and Sakurai blinked wondering if his old friend and lover had somehow developed the ability to read minds. “If he talks about wanting to get home to his master, tell him you’re doing everything you can and that he was a big help… At the moment he feels like he’s betraying his master, you have to reassure him that he’s trying more than anything to get back to him”

“But why? Why would he want to do that? After everything?”

“His master is the only thing that is on his mind” Nino mumbled keeping his eyes fixed on the floor “Even though Matsumoto-sama is completely different to the man that did that to Masaki… It is a little the same, your life belongs to your master… They are the only thing you can think of… I think that for Masaki that feeling is intensified completely because his life really wasn’t his own… I gave my life freely to Matsumoto-sama but Masaki… He never had the choice… If he really did hurt his master…” Ninomiya gave a shudder his eyes fixing on Matsumoto’s face. Sakurai nodded slowly, it made sense that because of his programming Masaki would both love and hate his master.

“You’re saying I have to reprogram him?” He asked and they both nodded in unison.

“Good luck”
