My Master's Desire

by Ryuuza

Epilogue

The next morning found the five occupants of the castle gathered around the table for the morning meal.  Cori was enthusiastically downing his breakfast, but he was the only one to do so.  Chris was poking at his food, face tomato red, and refusing to look at anyone.  The breakfast roll was that interesting.  He considered the complex intricacies of the process of yeast and dough and such.  (He'd never cooked in all his life.)

Erutis, on the other hand, was broadly smirking at both Raenef and Eclipse.

Eclipse, not blushing because demons didn't blush (Rule #631), was merely flushed with, er, anger, as he glared venomously at the smug knight.

Raenef was oblivious and perfectly himself.  The only reason he wasn't partaking of the meal was because he'd already finished.  He found that exercise made him quite famished.  He was currently amusing himself by seeing if he could steal all the food from Erutis's plate without her noticing and feed it to a ravenous Cori.  He was succeeding.

He giggled.

"We don't mind," Erutis announced at long last, batting away some of the flowers that had appeared around Raenef.

Eclipse continued glaring.  "Mind what?"

She raised an eyebrow at him.  He, er, flushed again.  Angrily.

Chris muttered, "Speak for yourself."

Raenef immediately turned on him, his puppy-dog eyes in place, watery and sparkly, in his don't-you-love-me mode.  "Don't you love me?" he whimpered, his voice wavering with the brink of tears.  "Aren't we friends, Chris?"  More flowers sprouted out of thin air.

Silence.  Then, grudgingly, because no one could resist Raenef in his don't-you-love-me mode, Chris sighed, "Yes, Rae, we're friends.  I'm okay with it too."  He plucked a flower and started tearing its petals off.  Plants.  Fascinating things.  Photosynthesis was quite entertaining. Chris refused to look up.

"Yay!"  Raenef wagged his tail and glomped Eclipse happily.  Eclipse flushed again.  But, um, you really couldn't say he was angry.

"Master Raenef!" he protested.

"Kinky!" squealed Erutis happily.  "Master-and-servant, wooot!" She giggled insanely then intelligently ran for her life.  Chris ran after her, not precisely for his life, but for the innocence of his eyes.  After all, Raenef had taken it upon himself to save Erutis by distracting Eclipse.which he could do easily as he was in an exceedingly convenient position on Eclipse's lap.

Cori blinked, blew a jet of flame out (toasting the already toasted toast), and continued eating.

In a village not too far away, in a large, fluffy, pink bed surrounded by sparkly flowers that matched, buried under warm fluffy pink blankets that somehow sparkled as well, a young girl in a pink nightgown jerked her head off her lacy pink pillows and screamed.

And screamed.

And screamed some more.

Then she ran out of breath.  Her maids rushed into the room.  "What's the matter, Miss Leeche?  Are you alright?  What happened?"

She sobbed and wiped her eyes on her pink nightgown.  "I had a nightmare," she pouted, suddenly very composed.  She sniffed.  "It was such a terrible nightmare."

"Was it the one where there was suddenly no pink in the world?" asked one of her maids, very sympathetically.  The other maid rolled her eyes.

"No.  It was almost as bad though."  Leeche cuddled her pink stuffed bunny and pink teddy bear.  "I dreamed that that pretty demon lord, Raenef, didn't wait ten years for me and instead fell in love with that other demon.the mean one.  Eclipse."  She stuck her lower lip out petulantly.

Her maids exchanged speculative looks.  Hmm. (Unknown to Leeche, both maids were as ecchi* as Erutis.  Oh boy, oh boy, now they had a new obsession.)  "I'm sure it was just a dream, Miss Leeche," the maid who'd rolled her eyes earlier said.  She patted Leeche on the back.  "Come on, now, go back to sleep.  How could a demon lord not wait for such a pretty girl like you?"

"That's what I thought."  Leeche nodded in confirmation and settled happily back into her pink bed.  "I'm sure it was just a dream.  Just a dream. Raenef loves me, he'll wait for me."

-x-

Raenef suddenly sneezed.  Eclipse paused in his mission of kissing every bare inch of skin (he was right above the bellybutton, at the moment).  "Are you alright, Master Raenef?" he asked conscientiously.

Sniffling, Raenef nodded.  "Keep going," he ordered cheerfully.

Eclipse smiled, his garnet eyes half-lidded.  "Your wish is my command."

_End_

Krayon appears.  "Ahem."

Mei-chan stares at him.  "Er." She thinks fast. 

And Lord Krayon of Egae the Third no longer bothered the happy couple because he felt no need for Eclipse's services any longer.  He, in fact, found himself happily distracted by his own Raenef-Raenef IV, who had suddenly appeared from "not being dead."

Anyone curious should read Damp Leaves and Birthdays which is now officially the sequel to My Master's Desire.  Or perhaps the third in a trilogy if Mei is bored enough to insert a second story in between.

Krayon raises an eyebrow.  "Raenef IV, eh?"  He taps a finger lightly against his chin.  "We'll see how this turns out, mate."  He disappears.

Mei-chan heaves a sigh of relief.

Krayon reappears.  "How come we didn't get a lemon?" he demands.

Mei-chan sweatdrops.

"And why am I a pedophile?" he wails.

-By the way, another DD ficcie is coming.promise.it might turn out different from past fics though.  I is experimenting. *nod* Perhaps some dark angsty stuff or whatnot.  Oh yes, speaking of, go read Between Us.  Beautifully written EAR ficcie.soooo sad (I cried!) but incredibly beautiful nonetheless.

*Japanese pronunciation of the letter "h" which basically stands for "hentai" which.er.yeah, go from there.  I'm not responsible for any corrupting, remember?
