The master's pet (Berry)

Ai looks at him "near do something..."
Oni glares at shin and picks him by his shirt "I think I'll put a tougher collar on you.."

Near looked at Ai then at Shin and Oni. He didn't know what to really do.
Shin looked at Oni. Seeing into his eyes he could easily tell he was beyond mad. "Go ahead then master..." Shin said.
Near got up. "Let him go." Near said seriously.

Oni looks at him "excuse me?! Did you just tell me what to do?!"

"Near, you don't have to do this.." Shin said weakly.
Near was going to say something but looking at Shin, he saw that Shin didn't want anyone else to be caught up in this.

Ai looks at him and coughs more "please don't be mean to shin.. You can put a collar on me the real me is in the locket so am just a zombie..it won't matter if I have collar.."
Oni smirks "how sweet.. Ok I'll do it.."

"Master please don't do anything to Near or Ai!" Shin hugged Oni tightly. "You can do what you will with me just as long as you don't do anything with them.." Shin pleaded.

Oni looks at him "but I'll help Ai I'll make her not sick.."

Shin didn't know what to do now.. He just wanted Ai and Near back together and it seemed to all blow up in just a few words. "I know what you would do... You'd heal her but you'd also put a collar on her..." Shin said. Shin looked at Oni with tears in his eyes. "Please master... Just... Just heal her and leave it at that.."

Oni looks at him "but the collar would be for near.. She said she was a zombie am going to help her.."

Something clicked inside of Shin after Oni had said that.. and it wasn't good. Shin looked at Oni. "You don't care do you... You don't care who you have to step on or what it takes so long as you get farther ahead..." Shin grit his teeth and some tears fell. "To you everything is just a toy or a game... Nothing matters to you because you think you have everyone wrapped around your finger..." Tears kept falling. "All you are for that is a horrible bastard!" Shin didn't want to have had said any of that but he was serious when he said it.

Oni looks at him "call me what you want but I was going to help her break a curse.. After the curse is broken the collar will fall off.. I have no use for a zombie that needs love.." He looks at Ai and near "would you like a collar to help with the curse?"
Ai blinks and looks at near.

Shin was surprised that Oni was completely unfazed by what Shin had said. Shin threw a punch at Oni and it landed square at Oni's jaw.
Near was going to answer but by the time he had made up his mind Near saw Shin hit Oni. He had to admit that he hadn't seen that coming.

Oni looks at him "your being bad!" He punches shin back "go home and we'll talk later!" He looks at near "what were you going to say?"

The punch had knocked Shin to the ground.
Near grit his teeth. "If you treat your servants li their nothing like you do with Shin then I'd rather just take Ai anywhere else. Just as long as she's' away from you."

Oni sighs and throws the collar to Ai. "I got the collar just in case here's the book to tell you what to do.." He picks up shin and begins to walk away.
Ai blinks and looks at him and the collar "near.."

Shin looked at Oni. "Master... Why.. Why are you like this..." Shin asked. He couldn't really think of a better way to fraise the odd question.
"I promised I was going to keep you safe... I know that I could keep that promise the first time.. but I'm going to keep it a second time." Near promised looking at Ai.

Ai nods "ok.."
Oni looks at him "what do you mean?"

Near looked at Ai and kissed Ai. "I'm just glad to have you back.."
Shin looked at Oni and tried to ask the question again. "Why are you like the way you are... Why do you only care about yourself..."

Oni looks at him "I got hurt to much so I decided to care only about myself.."
(do you want to make another topic for Ai and near?)

"Do you really think that little of other people? That no one could ever care about you?" Shin asked.\
(I think we should)

Oni looks at him "if people care about me they can but it'll take a long time for me to open up.. Koyuki got a divorce from me because of how I act.." He looks up at the sky.
(do you want to make the topic?)

Shin hugged Oni lightly. He couldn't think of anything to say for how sorry he actually felt for Oni.
(Sure)

Oni looks at him "don't show me pity.."
(oKz!)

Shin kept hugging Oni. "Maybe it's not pity."

Oni shrugs "why did you punch me?"
