A/N:: Since my lack of attention, I already had this finished *nervous laugh* so I wanted to post it. This story is finished for two reasons: 1. I was already planning on it because Zoro is not really much of a slave anymore so I was already thinking on changing title and continue on as a different title 2. I am seriously lacking in any other pairing at the moment. So if I get inspiration to do more then I will just make sure to collect chapters and put it under a second part story.

I apologize for cliffhangers, but this kind of was just something I wanted to play around with anyways, it has been seriously fun and I have a little more typed, but I am just claiming this as complete. Like I said, if I get back into the pairing I will make a second part story.

Thank you for reading!

Enjoy~!

Master

Part Twelve

"What's going on with you two?" Sanji leaned over the counter as I was eating, just missing Saga since he ate and ran.

"With who?"

"Well, I don't know… suddenly you just say Kaku." A hand was out in confusion plainly on him and this realization hit me.

"He asked me too." A shrug left me as I began eating some more of the chicken dinner thinking about how I was supposed to help with questioning.

"The casual talking?"

"Huh?" This look was at me as if it was obvious on what he was talking about before I nodded to respond. "Look, I'm not too sure, but Kaku is making it more like I am his lover than actual servant." Surprise was in the blue eye before seeming to realize something.

"He has been a bit different since being with you." The comment was made and I tilted my head in question before the door opened.

"Are you done, Zoro-kun?" A teasing tone came out as brown eyes found me and this huff left me as I ate the last bit. Covering my mouth, I pushed the plate over for the blonde and got up. "Good," the response left him as I walked to Kaku as he began leaving the room and I made a wave to Sanji whilst leaving as well. A blue eye rolled at me before I fully exited and swallowed my food by the time we reached the basement door. "I want you to find out what exactly are his plans that was ordered on her since she is silent with me." One of my swords was handed to me as we shifted down the last bit of stairs and turned down the hall for a door.

Kaku went through the door we stopped before and then I followed as my sword was attached to my pants since I wore jeans today. The blonde girl was chained up to the wall with angry lashes on her and bruising as legs were connected at the knee but feet sprawled out. Shifting occurred after I closed the door and blue eyes found me. Fear strained through her as I stood with arms crossed before she looked to Kaku.

"Wh-what do you want? I already told you everything I could!" She spoke up hastily and I noticed a hand flick out for me to go ahead. I really wasn't sure on what to do, but I shifted towards her and she tried to pull away with labored breaths already finding her. "N-no! I can't!"

"Isabel." The name left me as she soon froze on the spot and I shifted to crouch before her. "What exactly was your mission?" I asked out first to begin and lips trembled as hollowed eyes viewed me. She looked like she didn't want to speak, but the voice left her in desperation.

"We were supposed to take you."

"Where?" Her throat bobbed as she swallowed hard and tried to look away, fidgeting.

"Back to the main house."

"Back to Doflamingo?" Blue eyes stared intently on the name I used before gritting teeth and nodding stiffly. "What does he want with me?" There it was, the door closing in her eyes as I got to the main questions and I quickly grasped her throat whilst pressing her to the wall. Sputtered gasps left her as I glared hard with a growl. "Tell me." The stern tone had her whimpering and I heard feet shift behind me before stopping as lips fluttered open.

"For personal uses!"

"Personal uses?" The voice behind me asked as I was sure Kaku was going to stop me in case I pushed too hard to have her actually close up, but that wasn't the case.

"I-I don't know! He just mentioned how he was looking for an M for his personal uses!" My eyes snapped open as I pulled my hand away and she had confusion written all over her.

"I see, you don't know about that then." I spoke out before pulling away and looking to my lover as he was glaring to the wall with gritted teeth. "Kaku," I spoke out as he soon snapped those angry eyes to me. Eyes melted lightly as I just stared to him in a calm manner before he sighed out roughly whilst throwing his head back. Shortly it came back as he looked to Isabel with a stern look.

"What should I do with you now?" Kaku asked out with venom in his voice as the woman began to tremble again.

"Nothing, for now." I stated and could feel blue eyes find me in confusion. "Any action right now would be out of anger for the man." A smirk found him as he viewed me before humming out and then turning with a hand out.

"Ah, it seems the gods love you, Isabel. You live another day." I looked to the woman as she was viewing in confusion before seeming to relax her fear a bit. "Oh, we returned Bellamy's body back to your family. Hopefully your boss will be coming to visit soon." Blue eyes widened at the words spoken out before seeming to sputter.

"He's going to be upset!" She protested before whimpering as I had my sword to her throat.

"We could upset him more."

"Zoro-kun, so mean." A chuckle left Kaku as he found it humorous, but I merely snorted before putting my sword back.

"I'm done for now." I turned to leave and I heard her shifting roughly.

"W-wait!" Feet stopped as I soon turned back to look to Isabel as she swallowed hard. "Were you even a servant to begin with? Or was I being fooled too?" An eyebrow raised up at the question before I felt a hand line along my back and pulled to a body.

"Zoro-kun was just promoted and just likes the pain, hm?" A blush reached me as I pushed to the chest lightly with a glare.

"Don't say such things!" I hissed to him and a chuckle was there as he tapped under my chin in an affectionate manner.

"Ah… it really is like having two masters." We both looked to her at the words before I frowned.

"Oh? Two?"

"Yeah, it felt like Zoro was also a master to us all…" Guilt filled me at the mere thought of it before shifting to leave. It wasn't something I wanted to talk about since she was probably right in the matter.

"What seems to be eating you, Zoro-kun?" Lips pressed against my shoulder blade as the room was dark and I wore only boxers to bed.

"I didn't want to seem like everyone's master." I spoke out truthfully since he was right to ask that. It was eating away at me. The body shifted so he rest against me, chest exposed since he was able to go without the bandages now. A hum flowed into my ear as arms were around my waist to hold me.

"You merely took from example, you only want the best for the others. You are more along the lines as a mentor of sorts and even this mentor has trained the master." Lips trailed my neck as I huffed a breath in confusion before he chuckled. "This Senpai," a hand lined along my chest as I snorted out at the word, "has taught his master a little more on human value."

"Human value?" Hands began shifting me as I soon laid on my back with him hovering over me with a hand lingering along my cheek.

"All of them will be free to their own devices and I will hire any who wish to stay and show them the integrity as if they are a maid or butler." Surprise found me before feeling my chest lighten up and the hand shifted to let his body rest against mine.

"Wha? How did I change that?"

"I love you, Zoro. As a person, as my lover, and I'd be damned if I ever let that beating I did ever occur again on you." This tremble left me from the words as I felt arms shift to wrap around his neck and lips found mine chastely.

"Saying such things…" I muttered in embarrassment causing a chuckle to leave him before lips pressed to my chin.

"Stay with me forever, Zoro." I gripped him close as hands lined my sides and I rested my head against his.

"Of course, Kaku."

"What?!" Sanji looked in confusion as I stood with Kaku as a hand was out.

"It's as I say, if you wish to leave you can or you can work here for actual pay and are obligated to leave at will." My lover spoke as his other hand rested in a pocket and this blue eye found me.

"We could help find Nami." I spoke out lightly as I soon noticed the strain in him before a confused noise next to me.

"The tangerine girl? How do you know Nami?" Eyes flicked to my friend as I soon saw hope swell in that bright blue eye.

"Y-you know Nami-swan?!" If we were in a comic hearts would be swelling around him as he grinned foolishly.

"Ah, yes, she is a very competitive stock representative, I have worked with her on occasion." Kaku spoke out with a finger tapping his chin and was looking over my friend's reaction. "I will contact her later to have her pay a visit."

"I will make the most exquisite meal!" Sanji made a fist as he smiled widely with nostrils flaring and I felt this pain in me. He was so happy that it almost saddened me that this was truly the first time I had seen it.

"Well, let's see, Saga-boy should be next and then I will gather the rest to inquire their decisions." My lover thought out loud as he began moving to leave the room and I smiled towards Sanji.

"We are free…" The words had him snap his head my way before I began moving to leave the room and I heard a noise behind me. It was obviously a choked cry as I knew he needed a minute and I went to go look for Kaku as I heard him shouting for my other friend.

Approaching the two as Kaku made a tease to the male as he had a strand of hair arched up on his head from a poor job at putting his hair up. Brown eyes found me as a hand instinctively went out and I came up to grab it into mine. Grey found me in confusion as I smiled to Saga as I felt the grip in my hand.

"Saga, do you wish to leave or work for me?" Confusion left him at the question heard before crossing arms.

"It's easy, idiot." I barked out playfully as I shifted to him with a kick to a shin and he whined to me. "Do you want to go out to pursue something or actually work here for an honest living?" A smile was wide on me as he soon realized it was a serious question before grinning to us.

"Whaaa? No way! This is awesome! Though I am definitely working here! Got to stick with my best friend and help protect this home! You guys would be screwed without me!" A laugh left him as I began punching his arm in a playful manner and I actually notice Kaku snort with a smile as he tried not to laugh.

"Very good then, pick an extra room that you want. You are responsible for washing and cleaning your own belongings." The words left my lover as I let go of his hand and Saga grabbed it to shake it roughly.

"Of course! Of course!" Laughs still left him as he let go and began shifting to run towards the rooms that were free. It seems that Kaku would only be able to pick a select few, but by the look in his eye, he wouldn't just kick them out straight away.

We went to gather people (there wasn't many, like ten to twelve) as we continue to ask them all and the question of living without much already was out in the air. Kaku agreed to help get them on their feet, help them find a job and pay a couple months' rent if they chose to be free. Most picked that and began inquiring amongst each other on what to do. Myki ended up staying and that he would want to work in the home with some mutters of 'Senpai' thrown in. It didn't bother me much as it felt better now. They would be treated like actual butlers and type of housekeepers with better room conditions and being paid so they could go out if they wished.

This warmth filled me as we soon returned to our bedroom with him groaning in exhaustion and I chuckled out whilst pulling him to the couch. A nudge to sit had him following before moving to rest along it with his head in my lap. Brown eyes found me as he smiled whilst hands shifted along my face before gripping hair tightly.

"You are forever trapped." The words left him as I soon flushed red at the thought before grinning.

"That's fine."
