A lovely way to die on the inside

Disclaimer- I do not own samurai Champloo!

Warning-this will become a bit smutty yaoi later1

Some people seem to think that being beautiful is a gift, from what I have learned it is nothing more than a cruel joke, a curse set to bring you into a type of slavery that is not out in the open. For me though I was openly enslaved, My name is Jin. When I was around Twelve I was sold to a brothel, my parents never really meant to hurt me they were just poor and they figured since I was pretty I would make the most money for them this way. Still though to a twelve year old no one could seem more like the devil at the moment, though I sure they were not told what exactly would be done to me, but I am also sure they knew on the inside what was going to happen.

I do have to say I am vain though, men always calling me beautiful and lovely...a angel on earth, Like any angel would sleep the likes of them. I may have been vain but I still did not have the choice to be choosy...who ever could afford me could have me. That gave me a odd sense of self esteem, I knew I was Beautiful but at the same time I thought this was all I was good for. For a long time I remained uneducated, except in the ways of speaking to the customers and anything I needed to know to bring money to our house. Though I became lucky, we had a new addition to our pen where we were kept during the day. He was a teacher, handsome and slightly feminine, I think I was around fourteen at the time. The teacher, who had me call him Mr. sakon, though I heard his real name was Yuki and I wanted many times to call him that, to have that kind of friendship with him. He saw me as a student though. He had gone broke when his school house had burnt down and he turned to a life of crime for about three months before he was turned in. They were going to kill him but the brothel owner, Lady Vina saw him and snatched him up pulling a couple strings.

Mr. Sakon became my teacher, we did not have books but he taught me grammar and math. I soon started to get more confident and Lady Vina began to take notice. At first she did not mind she said it suited my appearance since I wore glasses, but those thoughts quickly faded. For the time though I spent my free time with Yuki Sakon.

At some point I began to notice he was very handsome, he almost seemed to dominate my thoughts. When we were sleeping in the large room where about five of the other Prostitutes slept I curled up next to him taking my time to slid my body closer and closer, until my head was against his chest. For a moment he did not move but he eventually looked down. "Jin...what are you doing?" he said a bit worried, I just gave a light chuckle, "Do you love me Sakon Sensai?" I asked and sat up a bit so my face was very close to his. Yuki didn't answer, he just turned his head away until he spoke "I'm not gay Jin" He said pushing me away slightly. To say my heart broke was an understatement, I could have died the only person I had ever liked had rejected me so easily. It was not long after that, that Yuki was sold to another brothel.

For the next few years until I was twenty-two I spent them in silence, how smart I had become was soon forgotten and I became somewhat of a living doll not caring anymore of what these men did to my body. On the day of my twenty-second birthday I heard a voice that I am sure changed me forever and the owner of that voice was Mugen.

Mugen's POV

"Crap! You guys saw nothing now let me go before I slice yer damn heads off!" I yelled as two strong men pinned my hands behind my back and my sharp sword dropped to the ground, I thought they said this was chumps work? I had been hired to rob a Brothel and bring the money to the rich mogul whom they owed it to. "easy" He had said "even a dog like you could do it" he had assured and now look at me my arms behind my back and bent over like some whore from their whore house. After A while they drug me to a large pen and threw me in, "you work for us now! Your job is to watch the boys,help them escape and we kill you!" The muscular men muttered as they stomped away and I gave them dagger eyes. This was freaking lovely, now I had to watch over whores! How demeaning! I just looked around the room until my eyes fell on a beautiful man who looked back at me with dead eyes, what was it about those dead eyes that made me want to bring them to life?
