Prologue

The rain poured down heavily onto the dark, cold city streets of Azumano. It was unusually quiet for a Friday night, even for a rainy one, as people hurriedly scampered through the city and into their homes. Even the clubs had closed for the night, but the bars were open and in full swing, welcoming anyone who wanted or needed a drink.

A small purple haired boy named Dark wandered aimlessly through the wet streets, looking for any place to hide from the storm. Bars, restaurants and convenience stores wouldn't allow him inside because of his age and homeless appearance, sending him back out into the rain. So he continued wandering, only wanting a dry place to sleep for the night.

Dark had no home, no parents, and nobody really seemed to care what happened to him or even notice that he existed. Azumano was full of homeless people, adults and children alike, and there were very few who cared for either of them.

Dark walked past one of the city's most popular bars, turning into the alley next to it that he frequently visited, dragging his dirty stuffed rabbit toy along with him. The owner of the bar would normally throw away perfectly good food. Or if the man saw him outside, he'd give the small boy any leftover food that hadn't been thrown in the trash yet. But the door was closed and the lights were off in the back that usually lit up the alleyway.

The side of the wall along the bar was dry and safe from the rain. Dark sat down next to the dumpsters along the wall and curled up on the concrete with his stuffed rabbit, using it as a pillow.

"Goodnight, Wiz…" he smiled, snuggling his face against the soft fabric. The rain continued to pour, making a quiet, calming lullaby for the purple haired boy, helping him sleep soundly despite the chilling wind that gently blew through the alley.

"Man, see what the hell you did…" A short, blonde man stumbled out of the backdoor of the bar, pushing his friend angrily, "I told you not to start a damn fight with that guy about those women. You got us kicked out and now we're not getting laid tonight. Thanks to you, dumbass."

Dark stirred awake when he heard voices from the back door of the bar. He sat up and glanced over a few cardboard boxes to see two men drunkenly stumbling down the alleyway towards him. He gasped softly and ducked back down, trying to hide from them.

"Yeah, yeah," the other man, a taller brunette, said, kicking his way past the trash and boxes in the alley. "It's not like we were gonna get laid anyways. We've been in and out of bars and clubs all week." He stopped by the dumpster and unbuttoned his pants.

"Hold on, I gotta piss."

When the man came to stand over the corner of the dumpster, Dark scrambled to get to his feet, grabbing his stuffed toy before stepping out into the middle of the alley. He turned to stare at the man who had jumped surprise, backing away only to run into the smaller blonde man.

"What the hell!?" The brunette yelled in shock as the boy ran past him.

"Whoooa," the blonde smiled as the boy bumped into him, putting his hands on Dark's shoulders, "What are you doing out here, little man?" His smile was full of malice and Dark pulled away quickly in fear, holding his rabbit toy close to him for comfort.

The brunette zipped his pants up and turned to his friend, "Check it out, Carl… It's a kid." The man said, raising his hands slowly to try to convince the boy he wasn't frightening. "Sure is cute…"

The blonde nodded, stepping forward and reaching out to feel the boy's purple locks. Dark jerked away, his eyes wide in distress as the men moved closer to him. The brunette groaned, with a small grin on his face as he turned his head to his friend, Carl.

"I haven't had a woman in weeks… and I bet we could get a good sell off of this one at the slave market as well…" The brunette, Brian, said as he continued to hold his hands out to the boy.

Carl nodded in agreement, "Maybe we could play with him for a while. Keep him for a couple months, you know?" When the blonde was close enough, he reached out and grabbed the boy's arm, making Dark squeal and attempt to pull away.

"Stop, please! Leave me alone!" The men looked at each other for a moment, grinning as the same thought went through both of their minds.

"Cute face and voice! This kid's the genuine article, we could make a fortune off of him!" Brian smiled and grabbed hold of the boy's other arm, causing Dark to drop his stuffed toy. He pushed Dark onto the ground to hold him still before grabbing the rabbit and tossing it out of Dark's reach, towards the front of the alley.

"We just need to train him before we sell him or we won't get very much." Carl said as he brought his elbow down hard onto the boy's temple, knocking him out. If they were going to carry him through the city, they couldn't have the kid kicking and screaming the whole way.

"Chill out, Carl," Brian said as he picked the boy up and carried him bridal style, "Stop getting so excited about selling him. Let's just enjoy him first."

That was normal in Azumano. Slavery, especially sex slaves were all the rave. Disgusting people would find homeless kids everyday and take them home, abuse them and turn around and sell them for a large profit. The unconscious boy had no idea the kind of humiliating, terrifying, and painful childhood he was about to experience.
