In the time of Feudal Japan, war, violence and devastation took over the land over. The age of samurai was great and money was king. Treasures would have to be hidden from blood-thirsty bandits. One treasure however, was hidden in the heart of Japan. A city that was peaceful during day, then at night, completely glimmering with red lights. The smell of alcohol, drugs and lust could fill any humans is mere seconds. Beautiful women would sit on their legs formally, hair tied up in buns and thin-revealing kimonos behind wooden bars inside small buildings. All one would have to do is give money and select one of the damsels. They would walk up the stairs, the man making a dirty smirk before slowly closing the door...

Thus is the life of a prostitute...

Chapter One: The Girl With Hazel Eyes and A Heart Of Gold

"HEY! COME BACK HERE, YOU THEIF!"

The usual ruckus of the city has suddenly been muffled by one man's voice. The angry cart-owner wildly waved his finger out in the direction in front of him, his face filled with rage. One could not help but stare at the scene with curiosity.

"THAT WICKED WRETCH IS AT IT AGAIN! GUARDS! GUARDS!" he shouted, keeping his arm still to point accurately at the direction in front of him. The town's folk blinked and turned to the direction, revealing a small child with long brown-hair and a silky blue kimono race down the pace, a pile of apples in her hands.

"For the love of Buddha..."

"That girl is at it again..."

"Mommy, can I have another dumpling?"

"Someone should lock that girl up for good..."

The girl continued to run, ignoring the pain of her bare feet from the rocky ground below. Sweat dripped down her face, her big brown eyes squinting from tiredness. Oh how she longed to just sit down and enjoy the treat she had stolen, but she knew it was impossible, considering the guards running after her closing-in.

Quickly thinking, she took a barrel and pushed it down. The guards yelled as they slipped on the now swarming fish on the ground, falling atop of another. The girl gasped and quickly turned around with a worried expression.

"HAHA! LOSERS!"

The rest of the shopping townsfolk laughed along with the boy, cheering and applauding for the girl's success. The worried expression that was once on her face quickly faded away as she laughed along with the townsfolk. Then she turned around to walk...

BUMP

"NYU!" The brown-haired girl squeaked. She had looked up to see what had blocked her way. A tall man with dark black hair, pale skin and icy blue eyes looked down at her with a monotone look. The girl's eyes widened in surprise.

"So, at it again I see, Ms. Tohru?" The man smirked, patting the girl on the head.

"Oh! Umm... Hatori-kun! Umm...Ummm... H-How can I help you today?" muttered the little girl, her face flushed in embarrassment.

"Have you seen the mess you made?" Hatori asked coolly. He put a hand on Tohru's head and turned her toward the opposite path. There was fish, barrels and apples (and an angry stand-manager) spread across the marketplace streets. Tohru gulped, clutching the apples in her arms. Hatori then turned her back facing him and gave her a "Wanna explain?" look. She just stood there, wide eyed.

"Wanna apple?" She giggled nervously, ignoring the look and holding an apple up in the air toward Hatori while smiling. He sighed and blushed lightly bonked her on the head.

"NYU!"

------------------------------------

CRASH!

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO REPEAT MYSELF TO YOU!"

The dark night took over the town, the red lights now shimmering everywhere. In a certain small building Little Tohru Honda sat in the middle of the room, eyes weakened and sitting on her knees on the tatami mats. Her manager (more like master) paced around the room with widened anger-filled eyes. She jolted her head to look at Tohru and gave a cold smirk, then walked towards her, breathing down her neck. Tohru kept her fear inside.

"My beautiful little, Tohru..." She smiled and took a stand of Tohru's hair, slowly stroking it. "..You know I love you right?"

Tohru's eyes widened in horror, but she still didn't dare look up. The master gently dropped the piece of hair and smirked evilly. She then slowly walked to her table and took out lipstick and a mirror. Then, slowly and coolly, she applied it to her thin lips. Tohru was trembling while trying to keep her fear away. Sweat started pouring from her head and hesitation. Finally gaining enough courage in her soul, she spoke with a trembling voice...

"A-Akito?"

Akito quickly threw her mirror and lipstick at Tohru with extreme force. She yelped in pain and fell backwards, now trembling on the floor with tightly shut eyes. She managed to open an eye-slightly, whimpering, just to get a glance of the open door of a room. There sat a woman with long raven-black hair and eyes with much cleavage showing with half her face hidden by the sliding door. She stared at Tohru on the floor with monotone eyes. Trying as hard as she could, Tohru managed to mouth the words "Help Me" to the woman. The woman replied just a dark glare and slammed the door shut. Tohru could feel tears forming.

"R-Rin..."

"TOHRU, GET UP!" Akito kicked Tohru hard on the side, and then grabbed her up by the hair. Tohru whimpered in pain.

"You address me as Madam-Akito and that alone, DO YOU UNDERSTAND!" Akito screamed.

Tohru stood silent, crying and trying the free her hair.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND DAMNIT?" Akito pulled her hair tighter, this time making the poor girl scream. Tohru nodded weakly.

Akito cackled and dropped the girl on the floor. She was covered with bruises, tears and a badly scrapped and bleeding cheek.

"Get out of my sight." Akito said with cold eyes and no expression. Tohru trembled, got up and did what she was told.

---------------------------------------

Tohru slowly closed the door of her room and dropped to her knees, engulfed by darkness. She rubbed the scar on her cheek and gazed at the oozing blood.

"Onee-Chan?"

Tohru glanced over with a slight smile at the direction of the sweet high voice. A small 5 year-old girl with short bright orange hair and eyes looked at Tohru with deep concern.

"Kisa-san, how are you today?" Tohru asked with a smile, trying to get Kisa to ignore her scar and bruises.

"D-Did, Madam-Akito, hurt you, Onee-chan?" muttered Kisa. Tohru took a deep sigh and smiled at Kisa.

"No, she didn't hurt me, Kisa-san." Tohru said softly, she gave Kisa a big smile. But the little girl just started at Tohru with sorrowful orange eyes. Tohru looked down at the floor sadly and sighed deeper, shutting her eyes. Her eyes sprouted open quickly and she grinned widely, making Kisa's eyes pop with confusion. Tohru quickly reached insider her kimono and took out a shining red apple and handed it to Kisa.

"I got it for you today. Your favorite, Kisa-san!" Tohru squealed. A big grin spread across Kisa's face and she gently took the apple and bit it with pleasure.

"Thank you... Onee-chan." squeaked Kisa pecking and taking small bits of the fruit. She and Tohru laughed together.

----------------

The room was engulfed by darkness, Kisa slept soundly next to Tohru, the apple still in her hand and a small smile on her face. Tohru however, lay awake, the moonlight shining on her face. She though deeply...

"We will have to get rid of the girl... she is a nuisense to us now..."

"I here that people nowadays can sell people to the Red Light District. The reward money is said to be very handsome"

Laughs rang inside Tohru's mind, followed by a split-image of Akito's rage. And with that, Tohru shed tears and whimpered...

---------------------

Author's Note: God, how can Akito abuse a girl as sweet as Tohru like that? So sad... Don't worry Kyo fangirls, He will be appearing in either Chapter Two or Three. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review(I'll update faster that way).
