I was shaking, but it wasn’t from fear. The smell of the bidders was disgusting me and I couldn’t stop my body from moving against my will. Kazuhiko sensed my distress and turned to me.
“What’s wrong milady? Why does your body tremble so?”
“Why do they smell so bad? I can’t stand it. Their auras smell like they belong in a sewer.” Kazuhiko seemed shocked with what I had said.
“You can smell that? It’s the tainted auras that they possess, many of those out there have long since been destroyed by greed and their souls have begun to rot. Concentrate on my aura and the smell should dull down.” I did as I was told and indeed the smell began to dull and my body calmed down.
“Thank you Kazuhiko.” He nodded at me but a voice captured both our attentions.
“Lot 154.” I felt a nudge in my back.
“That’s you milady. I’ll be stood at the back so you can still sense my aura.” I watched as he bowed to me before leading me out onto the platform and leaving me in the centre. I followed his movement as he walked down the few stairs at the side of the stage, finally catching sight of the crowd in front of me. My breathe caught in my throat. There were so many of them. The auctioneer approached me from the side and my head snapped towards him, my nose wrinkling in disgust when I felt his breathe on my face.
“Such a beautiful girl like you will bring us a vast amount of money. Don’t do anything stupid or Kazuhiko will have to pay with him life.” I’m pretty sure I paled because he smirked at me before grasping my arm and dragging me over to where he had placed the podium for me to stand on.
3rd person POV
The crowd watched with hungry eyes as the young youkai with white hair was dragged across the stage. Her scent filled their heads, a mixture of cinnamon, rain and rose water. There was no fear in her eyes, only disgust and many in the audience picked up on that. The beautiful creatures capture hurried to the back of the room, making sure he was in her line of sight. The youkai he positioned himself next to regarded him with curiosity and amusement.
“Where did you find her?” Kazuhiko jumped in surprise as he looked up at the figure beside him.
“Oh Lord Sesshomaru, it’s good to see you. I found her in Lord Akito’s castle. It would appear as though he lied to the entire land milord.” Lord Sesshomaru glanced at the young girl on the stage who was currently glaring at the man who was circling her, pinching and poking her body.
“Lied? How so?”
“It seems that this is his ’deceased’ daughter, Lady Hisoka, twin sister of the current Lord Yuki. He held her in a room deep under the castle. To ensure her ’protection’ apparently.” Kazuhiko averted his gaze from the great lord in front of him back to Hisoka. The look he saw in her eyes worried him. “Don’t do anything stupid milady, please just hold out.” The young hanyou whispered, unaware that Sesshomaru was listening to him. The lord looked back towards the stage to see the young wolf demons face becoming thunderous as the auctioneers roaming hands grew closer and closer to places that they should not wonder.
“What is going to happen if she steps out of line?”
“I die.” Kazuhiko whispered, not looking at the youkai beside him, keeping his eyes on the scene before him instead. “Don’t do what you usually do you idiot, don’t you dare.” Kazuhiko watched in horror as the auctioneer grabbed Lady Hisoka’s hips and slid his hands downward.
“Great child bearing hips.” He yelled at the same time as the action. The look in Hisoka’s eye went from disgusted to murderous in 2 seconds flat.
“Baka.” Mumbled Kazuhiko. “There goes my life.” However a smile graced his lips as he watched his ward act upon her instincts. Her foot rose the dropped sharply on that of the auctioneer causing him to let go of her arm and bend over. He however didn’t get very far down because the youkais elbow made contact with his face, causing a loud crack to sound through the room as she broke his nose instantly. He staggered backwards and fell off the platform, hitting his head on the stone floor and rendering himself unconscious. The crowd flew to their feet just as she jumped off the platform. However 4 feet hit the floor instead of two, she had transformed during the jump so instead of a fragile looking girl, a huge black and white wolf stood in front of the crowd, a snarl forcing it’s way from her mouth. Many of the bidders shrunk back in shock, leaving a clear path in between them for her to make a break through. She wasted no time in bolting, her sharp claws clicking against the stone floor as she made her way toward Kazuhiko who held a look of pure awe on his face. Upon reaching him she transformed as she continued running grabbing his hand as she ran by and dragging him along after her. Sesshomaru watched in amusement as she ran toward the locked door, trying the handle only to find it refusing to budge. She cursed but didn’t stop moving, opting instead to run along the wall ensuring a distance was kept between the two of them and the advancing crowd.
“Hisoka what are you doing?” Kazuhiko asked as he ran along behind her.
“We’re getting out of here. I’m not getting sold and you’re not getting killed.” Just as the words left her mouth Lord Sesshomaru appeared in front of her. Had she been going a bit slower should would have been able to stop but instead she ran straight into him, snarling as his arms wrapped around her and he picked her up. Kazuhiko’s hand was ripped from her own and a bag of gold was placed in them instead. Kazuhiko was about to protest and reach for Lady Hisoka's hand but the lord stopped him.
“This is for the girl and your life.” With that Sesshomaru vanished from view, a dull bang being heard a few seconds later as he left the place altogether with Hisoka still held tightly in his arms.
The TVs set to mute,
the people standing everywhere,
the smell of lust is in the air.
And yet it's just not fair,
you're the one who'll end up here,
crying on your precious hair,
six dollar call girl tears.
It's alot longer than the other one but I don't think I'll get any out for a while so yeah
This si to tied to over until the next one :)
