I had this idea in my mind ever since last week. Finally, the idea hits me again, stronger than ever. So I decided to make it true. Once again, I'm pulling characters out of a anime and giving them personalities and a past, without butchering them too much. I don't know much FB fans like lemons and limes but this will have a little of both. No worries, the first chapter has none. Lol. As this is the first chapter, please tell me what you all think.


Penniless Love

Chapter 1 - Auction

Kyo walked alone on the bridge that night. Of all problems he had to think about, he worried about his cigs the most. He was down to his last two. He kept them tucked in his jean pocket so they wouldn't dampen from the harsh rain. He realized that it was dark out, much too dark to go venturing for more cigarettes. He wondered once he got them, where would he go then? He had no home, no friends… and his family shunned him.

Two weeks ago he worked as a dancer at a private strip club. It was a popular joint uptown where all the rich class hung out and bought pleasure they couldn't get anywhere else. It was the only way to keep money in his pocket. Soon, he came to the conclusion of going broke before going back there. So he quit without telling a soul.

It was apparent that his boss would notice and come after him. He worried about that when it came time for it. For now, he just walked along the road, his arms tightly groping his body as the rain rapidly poured down on him. On second thought… forget the cigs— he needed to find shelter. It was hard to believe, just a year ago… he lived in a decent house with his cousins, Shigure and Yuki. Shigure was a local author who made a plenty of doe to support him and Yuki. Back then, he went to a decent high school. In which, his older cousin Shigure happily paid for.

…Back then… he never worried about his next meal, or a decent bath… He wasn't exactly happy there but he didn't have to worry about anything. But it wasn't long before all that was wiped away from him. Akito forced to Shigure to kick him out. If he didn't, Akito would have Shigure's house seized. Akito had that type of power. In a Sohma's point of view, she was god. Kyo hated her. It was because of her, he was forced to quit school and live life alone and homeless. One minute you have a content dream, another minute you're completely abandoned.

"Bitch…" he mumbled as the rain poured. Because of her, he lived a life he was ashamed of. Reality suddenly slapped the young man in face, realizing a long dark limousine that seemed to be following him.

"Damn it…" He had a feeling that ride was for him. His eyes widened as the car sped passed him. The tires screeched on the wet pavement. He froze in place as the back door opened— two men dashed out and lurched for him.

"FOUND HIM!"

"…GRAB HIM NOW!"

Kyo gasped and turned the opposite way to run but was aggressively pushed onto the ground. His head hit the pavement while, his arms were pushed against his back and his hands were cuffed.

"Kyo Sohma…" one man dragged him to his feet. "We finally found you. No one runs away from the boss… there's price to pay when that happens…"

Kyo frowned at men, "You can tell that bitch, Shino to kiss my ass! I rather die than go back to that sorry excuse of a hell hole!" he was rewarded with a punch.

"Wrong answer…" they dragged to the car, placing a white cloth over his mouth.

The smell was horrible and strong. "What the fu— what is this…" The last thing he felt was the firmness as the seat as they forced him inside… then… darkness.


The blood rushed from his head. A bad dream he hoped. Suddenly a blindfold was violently ripped off his face and harsh light poured into Kyo's darkness. His vision was blurry when he opened his eyes.

"Damn it…" he heard a familiar female voice say. "I said to capture him— you could hurt him but leave no marks!" Shino began to yell…

Then she grabbed Kyo by the hair, "Tell me! What's this?" she questioned the men.

"Sorry ma'am." the men bowed.

"I promised his family that I would return him undamaged…" Kyo was dazed but he heard his formal boss say his family? What the heck? His family wanted him? For what? Akito was the one who kicked him out to begin with? Was Shigure here to get him…? How shameful on his part. He never wanted Shigure to see him like this. And what about Yuki…? Damn it…

"Forget it… just get him cleaned up." the woman let go of him and walked out of the room. Wasn't the purpose of this capture was because he decided to run away? Now his family wanted him back? It didn't make any kind of sense.

He was taken to a stage where he was made to stay on his knees— on a platform. The room started spinning even more when a sudden cloth covered his face. This smells like… soap? His body felt heavy and with the little energy he had, he tried to move. His hands were still cuffed and to add to the frustration, the men put something in his mouth to keep him from making any kind of noise. For the commotion he heard passed the curtain, it seemed that he wasn't back at the job, thankfully. He could hear what sounded like jazzy lounge music. Then it was soft laughter and chattering.

"Ladies and Gents!" And just like that, the small group audience detained their conversations.

Then the curtains shot open…

Still dizzy, he looked around. This seemed a lot more classy than his job. It was private café or lounge. It couldn't have been a bar for all he knew. What was going on…

"…We will start off the night with a hell of a deal… He's one of a kind… " His boss was there, speaking into a microphone. Seriously what the hell was going on?

"It's not like me to give my best workers away, as much of a profit he gives me," Shino smiled lustfully at Kyo, "I decided to pass the joy to another… Please let me introduce to you— Kyo Sohma…"

Pass to another?… Kyo couldn't believe it. Was Shino… selling him? Was that the consequence for quitting and running away? He was so… ashamed. And of all unfortunate things, being sold to someone was the worst.

"And please, Ladies and Gents— take a look." Shino pulled Kyo forward, "Isn't he handsome, daring ruby eyes and look at that skin… quite smooth to the touch. He's the only one, amongst my men that has orange hair… and it's natural."

The crowd roared. Most of the crowd consisted of women. There were a few men present. Kyo assumed they were gay rich men. Shino turned and ripped the orange - haired man's white shirt open. "Just look at that naturally toned body…"

The crowd roared louder.

"He's just what a sex god should look like, am I right, eh?" She chuckled and others chuckled with her.

Kyo frowned— he had to escape. Someway… some how… but he couldn't with all eyes staring at him. Eyes of lust and anticipation. Women screamed left and right, practically drooling over him.

"Alright, lets get this bid started! We will start at 80k... Good enough?"

"85,000..." an older woman stood up instantly.

"85,000— from Lady Ichigawa…"

"90,000.…"

"Ooh 90k from Mrs. Inoue…"

"200,000!" they were getting desperate now.

"Keep em coming, yall." Shino laughed, "Make me rich…" she thought as more bets were being offered. "200k from Matsuyama!"

"500,000." A familiar face Kyo thought he'd never see again. "500,000 …for the little runt." Akito smiled. He couldn't believe it. That damn woman was here. No one had said anything for a brief moment. Please … not her

"I got half a mil for, Kyo Sohma… anymore?" there was silence, "Going once, going twice—"

"700,000..." came a giggle from the corner. All faces turned and the light projector flashed on a young brunette woman— perhaps in her twenties. She looked up as she smiled, waving a single hand in the air, diamonds shined so gracefully.

Akito turned to her and frowned, "800,000."

"Hm… 900,000." she said again.

Akito had to top her. This wasn't the deal. Shino told her it would be easy to outbid this crowd. Yet, this woman was beating her at her own game. "1.2 mil." the dark haired woman smiled. A million was even a lot for buying one person. Going 200k more should stop this brunette at her game.

The brunette giggled again, "1.5 mil…" the woman stood up, "If I need to, I don't mind going 2 million." she smiled again, her brown eyes gazed at Akito. He couldn't believe all these people wanted him. Was he really worth 2 million bucks? Kyo's head was spinning, the drugs they gave him still lingered.

"…Perhaps 3 mil?" the woman edged on.

"So final bid 1.5 mil for Kyo Sohma?"

"She's just messing with me… she knows she cannot win. That's why she's trying to threaten me…" Akito frowned again, "4 million for Kyo Sohma…" her eyes glazed over in desperation.

"Damn it why does she want me so badly…" Kyo wondered. There was no hope now… he was being sold. Not only that, he was being sold back to the family he got kicked out of.

"Very well." the brunette sighed, she proceeded to walk to the front. This dark - haired woman must have not believed her. "I bid 6 million for the young lad."

It was dead silent.

"Going once… going twice! Kyo Sohma SOLD TO— TOHRU HONDA!" Kyo's boss grinned lustfully, "How nice… Some how I knew I'd make a profit off of you." she raised his chin laughing, Kyo's ruby eyes glared evilly at her. "Even though Akito didn't get what she wanted… I still got what I wanted…"

Whoever this woman was, she approached the stage, smiling. She was quite beautiful. Medium height, pale skinned with long braided brunette hair. Her face was filled with compassion and her cheeks were pink and rosy. Her eyes told nothing as she pulled out her checkbook and a shimmering gold pen. "6 million." her natural pink lips parted into another delightful smile. "Hope you were worth it…" she mutters in her mind.

"THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Akito shoved people out of the way and got in Shino's face, violently pointing at the brunette, "THAT WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL SHINO! YOU SAID—"

"I know what I said. And Miss Honda out bided you…"

Tohru giggled again. Suddenly Kyo's ruby eyes met hers for the first time. Kyo grimaced, proceeding to growl at her through the mouth fold in his mouth. Pretty or not… she was no different. She was here for the same reason all these people were here— to buy love…

"IT'S NOT FAIR DAMN IT!"

"Please… I'm not looking for trouble." Tohru smiled at Akito. "I'm very sorry Miss Akito to upset you— but I bet fair and square on this young man…"

All Akito could do was growl. With a heavy gruff, she shook her head. "A harmless bitch like you? What are you going to do with him!" Akito grabbed a bottle from one of the tables and shattered it. Kyo blinked— she wasn't really about to kill this woman for him, was she? That's vile…

Abruptly, another woman— perhaps the woman's bodyguard— pulled a sword out, the sharp edge was just an inch away from Akito's throat, "You harm her and I'll slice where you stand!"

Tohru's eyes widened. Such profanity, "I'm sorry." she bowed, "He's my property now. I'm not obligated to tell you that much." And like that, she handed the check to the pleased Shino. Kyo shook his head, someone that nice had to be lethal. The nice, quiet ones were always the dangerous ones. Tohru tugged on the orange - haired man who was still in a daze. "On your feet." she demanded. She smiled one last time, turning around, "Lets go Uotani ."

Still, after all that, Kyo couldn't believe he was sold for "…6 million dollars!"
