Deceptive Purchase

By: Silverwolf

Dingy blonde hair is unbraided by a mature woman. She speaks in a tongue the azure eyed child in front of her doesn't completely understand. The child stands silent with someone else speaking. The language barrier prevents the youngster from understanding everything stated. Though the house marvels at the velvet and silk wrapped around the child. The woman nods as she decides to keep the child.

Deidara stands unsure if he should even be afraid. After all he'd been sold from house to house several times all ready even though he was only four. The difference this time is he understood little of what was being said.

After the seller retreats another woman makes an appearance. Deidara stares around as he's examined almost as if an animal would be. Was it possible these people had never seen a gypsy child before?

The woman begins to yell and then goes to strike Deidara only to have the slightly younger of the pair grasp her hand. The woman expresses the fact that the pair were dupped when it came to the newest purchase. The child before them was beautiful, but was also a male.

The pair begin discussing amongst each other. Deidara stands silently watching. Both of the pair are still surprised Deidara isn't having a tantrum over being left with them. One of them wraps a hand around the child's wrist and begins to shove him up a steep stairway. They lock the door after he is placed in the care of a second child within the room. The girl expects Deidara to be screaming, but the blonde is silent. The blonde child turns slightly as he hears a bolt lock tight from the other side of the door.

Deidara remains silently staring about the room. He wasn't quite understanding a bit of where he was now. He did realize that he was now alone without anyone to understand a word he stated. The child pulls his knees against his chest to sob silently. The female child in the room looks at Deidara. She rattles off words the same language he could hardly comprehend. She goes silent as the pair hear the bolt along the door open. One of the women Deidara had seen before pulls him from the room and down the steep stairway. The pair soon realize that their first step with the blonde child is to teach him their language.

The woman takes Deidara along with her by his wrist. The blonde ends up being scrubbed down by the female that once pulling him along. The clothing the blonde child is wrapped in is nothing like the revealing silks or the velvets that once covered Deidara. He's pulled along once again with the other woman rattling words

Deidara blinks as he's shoved back up the stairway with the woman speaking to the girl within the space. The blonde crawls over to the corner of the room and pulls his knees up to his chest. Slowly azure eyes fall shut as the blonde child accepts his situation.

Truthfully everyone in the house was quite surprised when the child didn't have a tantrum and scream at the top of his lungs when he was once again locked in the room. Though the pair running things still weren't sure if they could hide the fact that the blonde wasn't a female while teaching him to be a geisha. And if they did succeed in making the boy they locked away into a geisha how long would it be before they were caught?

A/N: I'm not even sure if this idea will come out interesting. I got the idea after reading an article from an college Anthropology textbook and some reseach for that class. Anyway I decided I'd post it though I doubt it will become popular.
