IT'S ABOUT TIME (RUSH!)

Saiyuri hadn't even been drunk, yet she'd managed to kick in the headlight of some poor guys car. She'd attempted a trouble-free getaway, but the car's owner had grabbed her before she could leave. A couple of comments and remarks later, and Sai had planned her second getaway. It had worked, actually. She ended up losing her bag, but she'd made it home in time to slip into bed and pass out. There she was, pretty much dead on her bed, her body diagonal across it. It was 9:00am, and she'd only had three hours of sleep. That wasn't usually a problem for her, but previous to that, she'd walked around all of Oxford. Her muscles were sore and tight, especially the ones in her thighs and calves. It felt like she'd ran a marathon. Groaning, Sai rolled onto her back, her eyes fixed on the ceiling. She was still troubled about the previous night. Seriously, how much of an idiot was she? She should have just been content kicking around the litter. Any normal and sane human being would. Licking her lips, Sai slowly rose from her bed. Ah. As she sat there, she felt her muscles contract and groan. Rolling her head, she stretched, purring lightly in the process. Honestly, she deserved the sore muscles. It was her own fault. She'd never been athletic, anyways. The longer she was awake, the more her senses began to sharpen. She smelled like dry sweat. Presumably, it was from her sprint around all of Oxford. Might as well shower. I've missed my first class, anyways, Sai thought, mechanically getting up and dragging herself into the shower. Fifteen minutes later, Sai was cleaned up. She proceeded to brush her teeth and moisturize her face before peering at herself in the foggy mirror. "This is the face of a criminal, huh?" Saiyuri said to her reflection, frowning. Never had she expected to get her mug shot taken; hopefully this wasn't going to be the time. Flitting around her room, she slipped into a pair of thin sweatpants and pulled on her Pikachu t-shirt. Today, Saiyuri would just relax. Stay at home, relax her poor muscles and forget all about the previous night. Well....Someone knocked on her door. Damn.

[RUSH ALLEN DUCKETT]

After finally returning to his apartment the night before, Rush had dropped the bag on his coffee table, took a shower and fell on his bed, almost instantly padding out. At five o’clock his alarm clock went off and he did as he always did, dressed for his morning run and left the apartment. When he returned he walked from the kitchen drinking a bottle of water, stopping when he noticed the bag again. He Google mapped the address he had found the night before and discovered it to be an address from the dorms. Good, he can stop by there before his first class.

Rush dressed for the day, jeans an Abercrombie shirt, baseball hat and black boots. He had contemplated a suit and looking all lawyer, but he didn’t want to scare the girl as much as he would have the night before. Rush had actually put some thought into it during his morning run. She was a college student, and the typical college student didn’t have much money. He was a spoilt rich kid that liked things delivered to him on a platter. So, he would strike a bargain. If she didn’t like it, then he’d have the bill for the headlamp sent to her.

Leaving his house he looked over the damage again before climbing in the car and taking it to an autobody shop. He called his insurance company while he was there, getting an estimate on the repairs, and the setup for a rental car. Finally at about ten, he had the estimated price written down and a rental car for at least the next week. On campus Rush had little problem finding the dorm he needed. Most everyone was in class, so it was barely noticed that he was even there.

Outside her door, Rush paused a moment, thinking of how to approach the subject, wondering if he should mention her boob comment again. Smirking, he knocked on the door, holding her bag so that it’s be in clear view, waiting patiently for her to answer the door.

No one but him would be looking for her. No one cared if she skipped a class. She placed the chip in her mouth, biting down on it slowly. Maybe if she ignored the insistent knocking, it would eventually go away. The Sai pictured him busting down her door, two cops at his side. She wanted to save herself the embarrassment. For a few seconds, Sai's eyes ran across her room. It was a complete mess. She looked like some lazy hobo college student who probably spent half her day gorging on snacks. Well, whatever. This guy wanted to get her in jail, anyways. There were more important things to worry about. Biting her lips, she dusted off her hands and crept towards the door. Sai placed her hand on the handle, leaning in to it and pressing her eye against the peephole. Whoever it was, they were wearing a baseball cap. Hmm. Maybe it was just a mailman or something. Opening the door a crack, she popped her head out, only to be greeted by the same guy from last night. "Uh..." Sai squeaked, not sure of what to do. She slammed the door, staring into the peephole once again. She'd just have to man up. No, she'd beg on her knees. That's what she'd do. Opening the door in a wide arch, she stood before him. "OK, look. I'm terribly sorry for what I did to your car. My heart goes out to you," Sai started bravely, her voice firmer than she'd initially thought. "I'm a poor, poor college student, and if you have a car that amazing anyways, you can afford a new headlight." There, she'd said it. It came out rushed, but she really wanted to get this over with. "Just, please don't send me to jail."

[RUSH ALLEN DUCKETT]

Rush waited, getting rather annoyed at the fact she wasn’t answering the door. Maybe she was in class and he should come back? He was about to leave when he heard shuffling inside and could see a shadow below the door. He smirk and waited for the door to open. Soon enough it did, he looked straight at Saiyuri and then found himself staring at the door. Oh hell no.

He knocked again, with a little more force this time. He knew she was there now and wasn’t going to leave, even if it mean missing all of his classes. The door finally opened again, but before he could say a word, she went on a long rant. When she finally stopped he arched his brow. ”Do you even know how much that car cost me? It cost more than you could ever dream to make in your entire life.” But that really wasn’t the point was it? He pushed her bag into her chest then walked past her into her room. There was nothing quite like invading someone’s personal space when you were trying to be threatening. ” You see, the problem is, I’m a bit of a daddies boy, and big shot lawyer daddy would be very displeased with his only child to back down from with this without getting anything in return.” Actually, he dad could probably care less if he got anything in return, so long as the car got fixed without demand out of him, Rush’s father wouldn’t be bothered to speak of it.

”So, I’m sure you can see the dilemma I’m in. I don’t plan on having you arrested, however, you now owe me about 2000 pounds. Seeing as you’re a ‘poor poor college’ student, I’m willing to come up with an… arrangement, if you wanna call it.” He tilted his head to the side, looking straight at her as he waited for her response, and was in all honesty checking her out. This might actually work out to his advantage.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=width,400,true][atrb=style,border: #912525 solid 5px;][atrb=style,-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;][atrb=style,border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;][bg=c0c7cd] [atrb=style,text-align:justify; ] Way to be affirmative. He took her quick ramble with an air of complete un-touch. Of course her rant wouldn't affect him; he seemed like he was a bit colder than forgiving her just because she was a poor student. There he went, boasting how damn rich he was. "Woah woah woah. Calm down for one minute, I'm going to be a neurosurgeon, so really, I think I'll at least make a nice amount of money" Sai retorted. She had to say it. Did he really think she would be cleaning the streets or something? The weight of her bag was pushed into her. She grabbed it, hugging it to her chest protectively. She decided to open it, sifting through it's contents. Wow, he was pretty nice to have left everything in there. She only caught the last end of his words. Something about his father being a lawyer. Wait, what? His dad was a lawyer? Oh, hell no. She'd get sued and never be a neurosurgeon. Who wanted to hire a girl who broke someones headlight and refused to pay for it. She gaped at him, her heart thrumming in her chest. Saiyuri pictured her life; she'd end up getting kicked out because of the bad publicity the school would receive. She'd have to go back home, where her parents would beat her up and then throw her out onto the street. She'd join a group of crack whore strippers and end up getting killed by some crazy drunk man. How pleasant. Saiyuri softened, relaxing her shoulders at his oncoming words. OK, an arrangement. She could deal with that. The words 'two thousand pounds' were like screeches. That was a lot of money and Sai honestly did feel bad for ruining his car. It had been a really gorgeous car. His sudden stare made her self conscious. Fidgeting on the spot, she nodded quickly. "As long as it doesn't involve going to jail or getting sued, I'm up for it," Sai rushed. She wasn't going to take the chance of him changing his mind. Now that she looked at him, he was a lot less foreboding. Actually, he even looked handsome. For sure younger than her, unless he was just naturally young looking. She ran to her side of the room, throwing her backpack on the bed before she cleared some space on the small couch. Never again would she just throw clothes about. The state of the place was embarrassing. "Uh...You can have a seat if you want," Sai murmured. Someone as rich as him would probably look down on the filthy room of hers. She wasn't a total slob, but she'd just moved in and hadn't felt like cleaning up.

[RUSH ALLEN DUCKETT]

Rush really couldn’t help himself, he smiled. And then he quickly wiped the smile from his face and pretended as if it had never been there. She had actually agreed to an arrangement, but would she agree to his terms… considering the frantic state she was in, Rush had no reason to believe that she wouldn’t. Besides, he could use a… servant. Though she would probably call it ‘slavery’ once she heard his terms of service. Oh well, he still liked being waited on, and it would be fun getting to boss someone around for a while. Who knows, maybe she could benefit from this arrangement as much as him… yeah probably not.

Looking around the room, noting the messiest half had “Asian” written all over it, he decided she might need some training on how to clean properly. He wasn’t about to let someone in his apartment to mess things up. Then of course he also wondered if it would be a smart thing to let a random stranger into his home for any reason. She had after all smashed his headlamp for no reason what so ever. Maybe he’d just have fun with her around on campus for a while, and if he found her to be trust worthy, and not smashing anymore of his things, he might let her ‘upgrade’ to working in his apartment… maybe.

He watched Saiyuri move around the room, throwing things this way and that, clearing a spot on the couch and inviting him to sit. He probably would have too if something laying on the base board of the bed hadn’t caught his eyes first. Acting as if it were no big deal, Rush moved to the end of the bed and picked up the piece of clothing formally known as a bra. He held it up with one finger and turned to face her. ”Now I see what you mean by ‘bigger boobs’. A cup?” he asked casually. He was pretty sure he had a correct guess. Looking around the bra he looked directly and openly at her Pikachu covered chest. ”Yes, definitely and A.””

[SAIYURI UCHIDA]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=width,400,true][atrb=style,border: #912525 solid 5px;][atrb=style,-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;][atrb=style,border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;][bg=c0c7cd] [atrb=style,text-align:justify; ] Saiyuri couldn't even say anything. Did he really just say that? Sai glared at the bra in his hand. It was true. Her boobs were small. She ran towards him, snatching the bra from his hands and throwing it under her bed. "You...You've guessed wrong. I'm bigger than I look," utter lies. Nothing could save her face, now. Blushing furiously, she covered her chest and sneered at him. "Do you have a fetish for Pikachu, or do you just blatantly stare at girls chests all the time?" Saiyuri snapped. She had never been one of those overly self-conscious girls who worried about their looks constantly. Usually, she was rather carefree about that and didn't care how males viewed her. Yes, she had small boobs and no ass. Yes, she wasn't curvaceous. Still, no one had ever outwardly told her that her boobs were small. It was simply a known fact. No need to state it. Saiyuri made a show of starting at his pants, widening her eyes in mock horror before looking up at his face. "Is...Is it even there?" she asked, smiling smugly. Shrugging her shoulders like she didn't really expect him to respond, she walked over to the couch and sat down. If he wasn't going to take the seat, she might as well. Saiyuri was a bit curious as to what this 'arrangement' meant. What was he intending to do with her? What did she possibly have to do to get rid of her two thousand pound debt? The longer she thought about it, the more freaked out she was. Did she just get herself into some prostitute ring scam? Slowly, her eyes trailed from his feet to his face. "Are you going to tell me what this arrangement of yours is?" Sai inquired, cocking her head to the side and staring at him. Hopefully it was something easy like doing his homework for a month. Very unlikely, but still, the girl could hope.

[RUSH ALLEN DUCKETT]

Rush arched a brow at her comment on being bigger than she looked. ”Doubtful,” he mumbled to himself. He didn’t have to see her without a shirt on to know she was only a couple steps up from being completely flat chested. ”I’m not partial to children’s anime really, hentai’s another matter though.” He actually didn’t sit around and watch much of any TV, he was usually too busy, plus when it came to hentai and porn, he’d much rather do it life.

When she began to openly look at his crotch, he shifted slightly. Honestly, he didn’t like being sized up in such a matter… not that he hadn’t just done it to her, but still. It was a man thing after all. And her comment almost threw him for a loop if he hadn’t caught himself in time. Besides, they were baggy jeans. ”Unfortunately, you won’t get to find out. I don’t make a habit out of sleeping with girls who beat up my cars.” Okay, that was a lie, there had been that one girl who kind-of-sort-of bumped her door against his. A barely noticeable scratch, but a fun night in a hotel room… Yeah, Mr. Playboy was smooth.

He watched her sit down in the spot she had cleared for him, but he didn’t really care, he was used to being on his feet. He did however move to lean up against the wall, crossing his arms over his chest. Thinking of how to word his arrangement.”Well, in order for me to keep my mouth shut about you being the one who damaged my car, and for you to pay off the debt you now owe me, I want you to become my servant for the next thirty days.”

[SAIYURI UCHIDA]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=width,400,true][atrb=style,border: #912525 solid 5px;][atrb=style,-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;][atrb=style,border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;][bg=c0c7cd] [atrb=style,text-align:justify; ] This boy was getting more ridiculous as the seconds ticked by. Hentai? That was so Asian of him. "How can you get off on drawing? That is absurd," Saiyuri grumbled. Hentai had always freaked her out, and this grown man was telling her he found it appealing. Maybe he didn't get enough girls. It would make sense for him to lust over drawings, in that case. "If girls beat up your cars so often, you must be doing something terribly wrong," Sai snapped. This guy was really getting on her nerves. Why couldn't he just be civil? Why did he have to piss her off so much. Saiyuri was good at holding in her temper. She'd always been a levelheaded person, and it took a lot to get her mad. The madness was evident on her face. Agitated, she kicked some crap off her couch to make room and spread out her legs. Might as well get comfortable if he was just going to lean against the wall like that. Saiyuri raised her eyebrows, pouting her lips and listening to his request. At first, she wasn't sure if she'd heard him correctly. Did he just say that? Become his servant for a month? Sai laughed, covering his mouth with her hands before abruptly turning silent and glaring at him. This guy must be completely crazy. "Are you fucking insane?" Sai yelled. Her temper flared, and when that happened, Sai went into a violent rage. Jumping to her feet, she stalked up to him, getting into his personal space. She was a lot shorter, but still she glared up at him. "Are you joking? I'd like you to stop," Sai didn't allow him time to respond before she shoved him. Maybe she was small, but she'd gotten into a couple of fights before and knew how to handle herself. Saiyuri grabbed a pillow, aiming at his head, and then grabbed a random piece of clothing and threw that at him too. What the hell! A servant?! She was pretty much ready to throw the table at him before she took a deep inhale and pushed the hair out of her face. "Sorry. You kind of deserved it," she tried to regain her composure, still taking deep breaths. Sai thought it over. This wouldn't be too bad. Clearing her throat, she looked at him again. "Since it's a lot better than my first option, I'm going to accept your ridiculous offer." Trying to act as normal and civil as possible, she stomped over and held out her hand. "I'm Saiyuri Uchida. I think I should at least know your name, too."

[RUSH ALLEN DUCKETT]

Rush took her temper tantrum in turn, even when she walked up to him to glare, possibly even sizing him up. If she thought she could win a fight against him, then the bruised cheek and stitched eyebrow probably didn’t hint to much. He was a born fighter, almost literally. But it wasn’t like he had come there expected her to be completely okay with being used as a servant. ”No I’m not joking,” he said casually, catching himself as she shoved him. Huh, she did actually have a fairly decent push. Maybe if she worked out, she could improve that some.

With his boxer reflexes, Rush snatched the pillow out of the air before it actually got anywhere close to his person, and then ducked the flying clothes. At least it wasn’t a mini-bra being thrown at him. And then, as quick as she was throwing things at him, she was calmed. Breathing deeper than she had before she started her rage. Maybe she was bi-polar and Rush was getting in over his head? ”Understandable” he agreed to her apology. If he was in her situation, he might act the same way… except he might have also gone beyond throwing pillows.

When she agreed to his offer however, Rush felt like he should dramatically fall backward in shock. He should have, but didn’t. instead he tossed her pillow back on her bed. ”It’s a much more agreeable offer than prison food.” He just had to taunt a little bit more. It would be out of his nature if he didn’t.

Rush took her hand, but he did shake it, instead he gave her a quick yank forward, placing his hand on her lower back to hold her in place. ”We’ll have to get more acquainted later. I’m late for a lecture, and I must Rush off.” Just to see if he couldn’t get her temper going again, he gave her a quick kiss on the lips before releasing her and turning to the door. Yeah, he’d admit it, he was a cocky little bastard.

[SAIYURI UCHIDA]

you've got me going crazy you've got me going crazy you've got me

Saiyuri had calmed down considerably. His taunts didn't seem to help her, though. She wondered where her usually kind and good natured self had run off to. No one really had gotten her this mad before. She'd never hit someone outside of the few times she was drunk. A violent drunk; that's what she was. She watched in amazement as he fluidly grabbed the pillow in mid air and threw it on her bed. What the hell did he do for a living? She highly doubted he was just some gangster from off the streets, but the bruises might prove otherwise.

He did make a very good point, however. Being a servant to him was much nicer than eating prison food. The reminder that she'd been this close to spending her young years being locked up terrified her. Looking uninterested, she shrugged at him, not willing to admit to him that he was correct. Saiyuri felt like she should be grateful to him, even for a little bit. Instead of just throwing her into the courtroom, he'd taken the time out of his day to come up with another course of action. Albeit, a rather annoying one, but Sai wasn't in the position to pick and choose.

Saiyuri hadn't expected him to pull her forward and lay a kiss on her like that. it happened so fast that she barely registered it. What was that about rushing off? Was his name Rush. The way he said it, Sai guessed. Sputtering, she went up behind him and stood on her toes to wrap an arm around his neck. "Wanna die? Do that again, and I'll really choke you to death," Sai said through gritted teeth. It didn't help that he had rather nice lips and the kiss had been pleasant. Detaching from his back, she didn't wait for him to leave before turning around.

First things first, she needed to clean up. Saiyuri didn't think there would be a guy in her dorm room so soon or she would have cleaned up. Groaning at the task at hand, she started picking up clothes and throwing them into a dirty laundry bin. There were a few CD's she almost broke, not noticing them in the mess. Those she put on a rack before vacuuming. A good two hours later, Sai had broken a sweat but was happy with her work. There was a nagging thought at the back of her head that wondered why she was trying to clean up for some bastard. Wanting to make it to her next class, she quickly put on some jeans and a cardigan before exiting her dorm.

Through out the rest of the day, Saiyuri pretty much forgot all about her second encounter with Rush. It was much like any other day, and by eight she was done with everything and headed home. "I'm feeling some cravings coming on..." Sai mumbled to herself, stopping in front of a convenience store. The girl had a major sweet tooth and occasionally craved sweets. Stepping in, she bought some pocky and a large amount of sour patch kids. Excited with her new purchases, she rushed home, planning to have them for dinner.

Yes. Sai ate snacks for dinner. Deal with it. Unlocking her door, she stepped inside, slipped off her shoes and reveled in the neatness of her newly cleaned place. Wow. It made a huge difference. Sighing, she inhaled the deep, fresh smell of febreeze and spilled the contents of her plastic bag on her table.

you've got me going crazy you've got me going crazy you've got me

[RUSH ALLEN DUCKETT]

When Saiyuri let him go, Rush smiled and basically ignored her warning. She just made it more tempting to test her threat. He left her room and went to his lecture. Law was boring enough, lectures on law… well at least he managed to stay awake? And it wasn’t the stimulating lecture that kept his eyes open, it was his devious thoughts and plans on how to torment Saiyuri and the cruel and unusual things he could make her do… at three in the morning. He was a genius in his own right.

After the lecture, he went to the student lounge with a couple classmates to have lunch. They discussed his boxing match the night before, one of whom had gone to see the fight. Rush told them of his next match in two weeks. He didn’t mention the details of his car or the girl who had messed it up. He was going to keep that matter private, at least for the time being. Besides, he didn’t want to make his classmates jealous of his new toy, mechanical or otherwise. After lunch he had two more classes, and then had to go to the gym for practice. By the time he left the gym he wondered if his busy schedule would allow him to keep a servant.

After leaving the gym he went to his parents house. They were still having dinner when he arrived. He kissed his mom on the cheek before sitting down at the table, checking his watch. 7:30, he still had plenty of time that night to discuss matter with Saiyuri. ”Missy called,” he father said between bites, ”say’s you claimed a broken headlight on the R8.” Of course, nothing got around his father. ”Hit a sheep coming home from the fight last night,” Rush stated, grabbing a roll from the basket in the center of the table. ”That’s what she said.” Rush held himself from rolling his eyes, and he couldn’t believe her why? Instead, Rush shrugged it off. ”I’m gonna take Max home for a few nights,” he said still chewing on his roll. His father gave him a questioning look before waving him off.

Rush stood and kissed his mom on the cheek again before going out the back door to the backyard, where Max stayed in the shed with a fenced run attached. Max was the son of a champion Golden Retriever, but he was the runt of the litter and was deemed un-showable. Rush’s nanny had brought him Max, and as much as his father protested, Rush was allowed to keep the dog. But with time constraints as they were, Max had to stay at his parents house, and Rush visited whenever he had the chance. Max heard Rush coming and ran from the warm confines of the shed, barking, jumping and wagging his tail frantically. Rush smiled and walked into the shed-turned-kennel, and pulled Max’s leash off the wall and clipped it onto his collar. ”Let’s go meet your new care taker.”

When they arrived back at the dorms, Rush was thoroughly chilled from Max’s demands to have the window rolled down. Max was very well trained though, behaving for Rush only, and stayed beside Rush’s heel through the dorm building before stopping where Rush instructed, placing him right in front of Saiyuri’s door. Rush knocked on the door and stepped off to the side so that Max would be the only one at the door.

[SAIYURI UCHIDA]

you've got me going crazy you've got me going crazy you've got me

Saiyuri had opened one of the pocky backs and was nibbling on the chocolate coated cracker stick, a book in her lap. It was one of the huge biology textbooks she'd bought. She was trying to concentrate, but her mind kept on drifting to other places and soon the stuff she was reading flew out of her ears. Literally, she could not remember a word she'd just read. Deciding it was best to just put the book aside and do something else until she was better concentrated, Saiyuri grabbed her laptop off of the table and opened up her internet. A quick check of the usual, like her Facebook and email, then Sai unconsciously found herself googling servant.

Why, she didn't even know. All she got back were some definitions and other boring crap she couldn't bother with. Then the word master caught her eye. Uhm, what? So, this guy was now her 'master'. She couldn't even say the word out loud. Her lips pressed into a tight line. Her dignity and pride was flying out the damn window. Sai bit the skin on her thumb, letting the heat of the laptop warm her thighs as she drifted in her own thoughts. I'm now a servant to some guy who kissed me before 'rushing' off. Ah damn. Her life sucked pretty hard. Huffing, she closed her laptop and put it back on the table. Grabbing a bag of sour patch kids, she ripped the plastic open and glared at the colorful candy inside. Sai imagined them as little tiny Rush's. Picking one out, she grinned. "This is for trying to sue me," she mumbled before chomping the candy in two. Delight at this small task filled her. It was kind of fun, trying to kill these sour patch Rush's.

As she continued killing the Rush's in many ways, sometimes ripping their limbs and sometimes devouring them whole, she heard a knock on her door. Finishing her last sour patch Rush, she dusted her hands of sugar and went to open the door. To her shock, she only saw an adorable Golden Retriever. Aww. "Aww, and who are you? How did you knock?" she cooed, leaning down to pet the dog. She saw no one, and for a split second wondered if the dog had knocked himself. That's ridiculous, she told herself. She continued to pet him, until her slender hand froze over his golden head. Sai didn't even want to look outside, knowing that she hadn't made close enough friends with anyone yet for them to invite themselves into her house. Sai's eyes darkened. What if the owner was searching for the dog? Sai didn't want to give him, or her, back so soon.

In fear that someone might be walking up and would spot the dog, she grabbed it's color and quickly lead it into the room. "Here puppy. Chill with me for now and I'll post up fliers...This week," she said to the amazingly cute dog. She'd always liked dogs. Most animals, actually, but her Asian parents never let her own any. Squealing in delight, she wrapped her arms around the puppy and hugged it tightly. "I'll name you...Wait, are you a girl or a boy?" Sai murmured, letting the dog roll over to scratch its belly. Boy, it was. Sai couldn't think of anything but Lucky, and that wasn't unique in the least, so she quickly decided to name him later.

you've got me going crazy you've got me going crazy you've got me

[RUSH ALLEN DUCKETT]

Max looked up at Rush with his tongue hanging out of his mouth looking more like a comedian than a dog. Rush smiled at him, and placed his pointer finger to his lips to remind Max to behave. After all, Rush wasn’t too sure of the rules on animals in the dorm, and the last thing he needed was to be caught in the girls hallway with a dog. But it wasn’t before long Rush heard the door begin to rustle and click open. He dropped Max’s leash, and moved a little out more out of sight.

To Rush’s amazement, Max stood up and wagged his tail at Saiyuri’s cooing. Max didn’t do that too often… maybe Max could smell the female on her; he was after all a male. Rush could see from around the corner he was hiding that Saiyuri was instantly taken with the dog. Good, then she wouldn’t have any problem taking Max for walks… at six in the morning. Rush smiled at the devious plan he had laid out before. But the smile vanished when Max was pulled (aka, went willingly) into the room with Sai and the door shut behind him. Why that dumb dog. Went with anyone who gave him any amount of attention, was he really that deprived? Mumbling to himself, Rush began to think of what to do and how to get his dog back. Finally, he decided.

Rush stepped back in front of Saiyuri’s door and whistled. Max, as if on cue, started to bark, and Rush could here him run to the door and paw at it. Good boy. Rush whistled once more, then knocked on Saiyuri’s door again, this time leaning against the door jab waiting for her to open it. When she finally did, he smirked at her. ”Good to know you like dogs. Meet your new ward.”

Saiyuri was spending wonderful time with the cute puppy when he started going crazy. Oh my god. Please, don't have rabies or something. The dog started barking frantically and scrabbling at the door. Getting up, she backed away from the crazy, rabid animal. Sai was about to call a shelter when she heard a knock on her door and opened it cautiously. The dog seemed to stop barking and started wagging his tail. It was Rush. Of course it was him. Who else wanted to torment her?

Grudgingly, she welcomed him in. Sai realized how alike Rush was to the dog; cute at first glance but a crazy rabid animal later on. "What do you mean, 'new ward'?" Sai asked him, closing the door behind her. She was unsure of the dog now, who seemed to be bi-polar. She clenched her fists, throwing fake punches at the back of Rush's head. He'd get eaten later, that's for sure. Still, the dog was adorable, that she could easily admit. Leaning down, she gave the dog one more cautious pat on the head. Clearing her throat, she folded her arms over her chest and glared at Rush."What is this bout him being my new ward? I have to take care of your dog?!" you belligerent bastard she added in her thoughts.

Her parents had taught her to be courteous, so she walked over to the mini-fridge. Yanking the door open, the cooler air slid across her face as she pulled out some fruit beverages. "I don't want to give you alcohol as that might cause you to get drunk and molest me in your drunken haze, but I can offer you these," Sai said sarcastically, pointing to the bottles she'd laid on top of the fridge. If he went around kissing girls without being drunk, she didn't want to know what he did drunk.
