Side of the Spectrum

Chapter One

Riku's been acting like a real downer after his last break-up. All he does is whine over his past relationship. For Christ's sake, I did not like the guy. He was way to emo and he only made Riku's already dreary mood worst. He needs some excitement in his life.

That's why his best friend, Axel Inferno, had decided to get him a little companion from the local market. It was nothing really; this is one of the perks of being on the good side of the Spectrum. Everyone on this side have generations of wealth on their belt since they were born. The people on the other side have to live in caves. Literally, caves, that's how they got the name, Mole-people.

Sometimes, Mole-people become rowdy or if they become orphans; they get taken in and sold to this side. There's a whole revolution going on about it, but I can't give you details about that.

Anyways that's off topic. I was talking about moody, depressing Riku. I brought him to one of the auctions to get him a little companionship for him. Of course he protested all the way here. He looked at me with the most uncomprehending look imaginable and said, "This is a slave auction."

I tried to compromise, "I don't like that word; think of them as a houseguest."

He rolled his eyes, "A houseguest who can't leave the house?"

"Don't try to make it seem so ugly? We've all heard stories where the Mole-people preferred this side other than their side and lived a better life. And if you were so against it, why did you come?"

Rike squinted at me, "Because you made me."

"Since when do you listen to me?"

Rikus looked to the front of the hall. They were setting up a pedestal for bidding. Riku shrugged his shoulders, "I guess I could use some entertain for a while."

"You mean you want a fuck buddy."

Riku elbowed me in the arm. It was true; he didn't have to hit me so hard. A loud bell calmed the audience. An man in a black and silver suit came to the stage and introduced himself as the auctioneer. He kept an upbeat attitude through the opening curtains. Then the people in color coded handcuffs were all piled to one side of the stage. These kinds of auctions were really cut throat. The cuties were usually the first to go. Thankfully, Riku and I are gay and the males are easier to win.

The first one on the pedestal was a woman with long blonde hair and her arms were bonded with a green cuffing. The auctioneer would give a quick speech with this information; her name, some background info, her beauty, likes and dislikes. He also included that the green cuffing means that she is mellow and timid. Then, he started the bidding.

The bids started to fly from different parts of the halls. Every time a new person bid on her, she would desperately look at the guy's face. It was clear that she was very nervous and that only made the bids more aggressive. This is a defining moment in her life. In mere seconds her bids reached over one hundred grand, then was finally sold. That's great, now onto a male.

The next person was a tanned, toned male. He had brown spiky hair and a baby face to go with it. He was wearing a sleeveless top mixed with the colors blue, red, and black; with matching shorts and shoes. When he looked up, he revealed deep sky blue eyes. He seems like Riku's type. When I turned to him, I noticed that his face was frozen in infatuation. It was disgusting.

I nudged him to snap him out of his gaze, "If you like him, bid on him."

"I agree he's gorgeous, but something is off about him." RIku was way to picky.

"What do you mean? You said it yourself; he's gorgeous."

"But he's smiling." RIku answered. "He looks too confident up there."

I took a second look at him. The guy did have a half smile on his face. It looked like he was trying to stop himself from bursting into laughter. But it only made him cuter to look at. "He's just what you need; a bubbly personality to pull you out of this mood."

The auctioneer examined the paper nervously and started, "I can't give you his name or any information about him. All I can say is he is easy on the eyes and have great eyes. He could be host and server to your parties. Let's start the bidding at a discount rate."

He forgot to mention the red cuffing that bonded his wrists. That means that he must have done something serious to receive that color. However, Riku wanted him and that is all that matters. I turned to him and said, "Either you bid on him or I will."

"Really, anybody, he is not a hard criminal. With a little teaching, he could be a great housesitter."

The bidding was dead and all RIku had to do was raise that pedal that has his number on it. Just one little wave and the little ass is all his. I did the only thing a friend could do. I started to poke his arm repeatedly until he raised the hand in anger.

"Sold to number 254!"

Riku looked at me like he was going to cut me open with a rusty knife. There was no turning back now, that brunette was his now. I said, "You should take a look at your new fuck buddy."

Riku turned to his new houseguest. The guy was staring Riku wide eyed in shock. I guess that he was not expecting to be sold. Riku kept his eye on him when he was pulled to the different corner to be tagged with Riku's number. Riku had a smirk on his face and whispered to me, "I swear that I saw him flushing at me."

I grinned to myself; that was way easier than I thought. "Was I right or was I right?"

"Shut up." That means I'm right.

The next one was a girl that was around the last guy's age. She had the same blue eyes, but she had short black hair was wearing a black dress with a white highlights. She also had a red cuffing on and she didn't look too happy. There wasn't much information about her either and she was stood there with a scowl on her face.

The auctioneer was a little bit confident that he was able to get a decent rate for her. But the red cuffing and the look on her face prevented her from being sold and the auctioneer was forced to move her to the other side of the stage without a number. That means another male will be up.

"Maybe, I could get lucky too."

"I thought this was about cheering me up."

"I did that. Now, I want a prize of my own."

Riku huffed. I am always willing to get a little new fresh meat for my bedroom. What can I say? I get bored with them very quickly. The prize came in the form of a tanned sun haired beauty that was lifted to the pedestal next. He was perfect; small structure, toned, tanned, and eyes that I could stare at all day. I pay anything to run my hands through his sun-kissed spikes right at that moment.

I keened to Riku and gritted through my teeth said, "He's mine."

The autctioneer started again more nervous this time. He rubbed his head and began, "We have another no-name here. Don't mind the red cuffing this time; can that face look like he could do any real harm to anybody?"

I bit my lip trying to fight my temptation to go and throw him over my shoulder right now. That isn't protocol and I could be thrown out on the street for that. Then, I will lose my only shot to get that perfect being.

"Let's start the bidding." Finally.

I raised my pedal as far as I could and waved it around to make sure the auctioneer could see me. He smiled at my enthusiasm and went on anyway, "Can I get a higher bid."

No one flinched. I'm getting such a good deal. "Sold to number 255!"

Yes. I'm the shit. I was able to pull Riku out of his funk AND get a new piece of ass for me. I accomplished a lot today. The blond beauty stared at me stunned before they pushed him to the other side of the stage. He looked a little frightened; it's the cutest thing.

"I thought you were here to cheer me up and not get something for yourself"

I couldn't believe this guy, "You expect to drag you to a candy store and not get anything for myself. You're being a little selfish. Don't give me that lecture, I see you ogling your new little houseguest."

"I'm about to spend good money on him. I can't look."

"Don't you know what happens next?" The dumbfounded look he gave me was my answer. "You get to go talk to them, then they will hosed them down, dressed them up, and tie them up with a big bow just for us."

"You're kidding."

"Okay. They don't use bows. But the next part, we can talk to them before their shipped to our house. It will be great, trust me."

Riku did not look very convinced. I did have a track record of screwing shit up for him. But nothing could go wrong this time, he's overreacting.

"They must be friends. This is disgusting." Roxas was groaning again. He's been like that since we got here.

Sora and I did get him into this mess. I kept my voice low so I don't attract any attention. "It's going to be okay, Roxas. We will be out of here in no time."

"Easy for you to say; you weren't sold like a piece of meat," I don't think that Roxas is going to cheer up until we were safely away from this hellhole. He just doesn't believe in me.

"I'm surprised that you two sold too. And I did not get one bid; it's insulting. I'm cute enough, am I?"

Roxas glared at me like he had heat vision. "This is not about you. We were just sold as slaves, Xion. I can't believe that is all you can think about right now."

I need to remember about Roxas's sensitivity to this subject. I think that this is his first time in an auction. It must about have been my tenth time, but I was able to run away every time. I tried to calm him as much as I could without hugging him because I'm handcuffed, "Remember what I said, we will be back home by eight o'clock. Just in time for taco night and this never happened, you got that?"

Roxas kept his hard stare, "You better be right. I'll kill that guy."

I chuckled, "I know."

"He keeps staring at me."

Sora caught both of our attention. He was staring at his red cuffs, a little afraid to look up to lock eyes with his new master. I shook my head, "Then stop blushing."

"I can't. I can feel his eyes staring at me."

I rolled my eyes at him. Sora needs to get a grip. We can't let him go to with that guy. His big brother would on a killing rampage if that happened. Come to think of it, all of older brothers would if they knew we were here. I would be saving those idiots' lives by getting Sora and Roxas away from them.

A/N: Complete shot in the dark here. This is not going to be a all lemon story. I actually have a plot planned out already. I will continue this story if you are interested. Just show me a sign that you want me to keep going. All I need is one person.

Well, thank you for reading this story. It is my first one Kingdom Hearts story and hopefully not my last. ;)
