Chapter 228 - Return To Ishgar {6} The Morning After

The door leading out into the hallway opened up and out from the darkness of the room stepped Lupus. Soon after her came Jugo and he was slightly out of breath. Lupus hair was dishevelled and her cheeks had a rose colour to it, enhancing her overall beauty. She looked back at Jugo with affection, "Jugo, if Sebas kills me for this, I just want to say that you have helped give some interesting colour to my life."

Jugo chopped her on the head, "What are you talking about? We have masters blessing. Do you seriously believe Sebas would ever go against him?"

"Oh, right, I forgot about that" Lupus smiled innocently, causing Jugo to facepalm.

"Still, I am grateful to you, Jugo. You have no idea what this means to me." Jugo looked away and said, "Now, that's enough of that. Where did my apathetic Lupus go?"

Lupus leaned out, straightened out her maid outfit, then put on her stoic smile once again, "I see. So you wish to be whipped instead. That can certainly be arranged." She said.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I am just not used to seeing you act this innocently. Aren't you the same Lupus that has a list of top ten most exciting torture victims?"

"Of course I am, but that doesn't mean that's all I am. I don't consist of just loyalty and brutality. I have other feelings inside here," She put her hand over her heart. Her actions coupled with her words caused Jugo to stare in slight shock at her.

"I am sorry, I think this is the first time I've seen this side of you, so I was just taken by surprise." Jugo apologized sincerely.

"Don't sweat it, big guy." Lupus winked at him, then she grabbed his hand, "Let's go to the kitchen and I'll make you some breakfast." Lupus dragged him towards the kitchen while he stuck in a daze.

"Thanks, I could really use some of that," Jugo said and cracked his neck. "My neck hurts really bad too. I was stuck in a horrible position in there for so long. You think breakfast comes with a massage too?"

Lupus shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, maybe. We'll see!"

When they arrived in the corridor leading to the kitchen they started hearing noises of someone cooking. They hurried their steps and when they arrived at the door and opened it to look inside the kitchen, both their jaws hit the floor. Inside the kitchen stood Amell with an apron on and making breakfast. Lupus was beyond shocked. She couldn't register what she was seeing, the emperor of the Gotei, and the God of this island in an apron making breakfast.

"Don't stand there like statues, sit down, breakfast is soon to be served," Amell said happily as he was ravaging the fridge for something.

Lupus maid instincts finally kicked into gear and she started panicking, "Lord Amell! Let me, you should not bother with these trivial tasks!" She ran over and blocked the way so Amell couldn't get to the table, "Give me the food lord Amell, I will take it from here." her tone was serious and strict.

"This day is about you guys, so just sit down and relax, will you."

"No! How can I relax when you have been forced to take up my tasks because I indulged myself in the pleasures of the flesh." Lupus screamed out her words. Her nostrils were flared and sweat was running down her forehead.

Jugo facepalmed at her behaviour, but Amell smiled brightly, "So, you guys finally did it! Fantastic! Jugo, congratulations on becoming a man."

"Thanks, I guess," Jugo walked over and sat down at the table. He was too tired to deal with this, and it was too early for him to care so he simply sat down and waited for his food.

"This is not okay! Lord Amell, please allow me to take over!" Lupus refused to give up.

"Not happening. Now go sit down," Amell moved his index finger and like strings to a puppet, he took control of Lupus body and forced her towards the table. "Lupus, this is your day off. That's an order, young lady!" After settling Lupus at the table using blood bending, Amell started serving them food.

"I hope it is to your liking." He said and walked out of the kitchen when he was done setting the table for them. Before he closed the door he gave Lupus a stare that said, "sit down and eat without complaint" and Lupus hung her head in guilt.

"Sheer up, Lupus, this all looks delicious, so let's just eat up." Jugo didn't even look at her while saying that. He was devouring all this food at light speed.

"How can I enjoy this, knowing that my lord made it. I am not worthy to eat any of this," She looked like a frail little girl lost in the park.

"Don't let it bother you. Master does such things all the time, you know this. Once he decides to do something, no one can stop him so there is no use in blaming yourself. Now eat before I eat all of this, I seriously can't stop myself." Jugo said and he bit down on a giant tomato. "Delicious!" He said cheerfully.

"No need, I don't need to eat, my body doesn't require it to survive." Lupus slammed down her head on the table in frustration.

"Fine, more for me!" Jugo started eating with even more ferocity. He devoured every food item on the table and within minutes it was all gone.

"That was absolutely splendid!" He rested against the chair with a satisfied smile. "Master should totally quit this whole God business and just become a chef instead." Jugo had to tilt his head to dodge a plate thrown by Lupus.

"Do not be rude towards lord Amell!" She said sternly.

"I wasn't! If anything, I was complimenting him on his great talent for cooking."

"That's not what it sounded like," Lupus looked out the kitchen window at the beautiful garden outside. "Jugo, I'm going to bed, I need to rest my head."

"Okay, want some company?"

"No, you can stay here and make love to this food you love so much." Lupus said and slammed the door shut on her way out.

"Ouch," Jugo laughed out loud and closed his eyes.
