You useless imp!" Seimei shouts, slapping Ritsuka across the face. I give you one simple task! Do the laundry and have it done by the time I get back! And you can't even do that right!"
"I'm sorry, Seime I-I" Ritsuka was cut off.
"Oh, you will be!" Seimei snarled as he stalked over.
He slapped him across the face, again, this time, knocking him to the ground.
"I'm sorry!" Ritsuka cried.
"I know you are," Seimei smirked. "But you dissobay me again, and, how can I ever expect you to learn, if I keep letting you off so easy? However, your punishment today will be minor."
"Oh thank you! Thank you, Seimei!"
He started to stand up, when Seimei turned around, and pinned him to the floor.
"Wh-what are you"-
"Just save yourself the trouble, and don't even bother struggeling."
"Wh-what?"
Seimei, forcefully, began ripping Ritsuka's clothes off.
"No!" he screamed, as he struggled to crawl out from under the older boy.
Seimei just laughed, and pinned the boy's wrists above his head.
"No! NO!" Ritsuka shrieked.
"Shut up, or you'll regret it," Seimei threatened, scaring the boy silent and motionless.
That was no fun at all," Seimei sneared. "Can't you even do that right?'
Ritsuka just huddled in the corner, as far away from Seimei as the small room allowed, crying silent tears.
Seimei looked the shaking boy over. "You've hardly been used, so you should still fetch a good price. I'm taking you to the auction, tomorrow."
Ritsuka gulped. He hated the auctions.
All neko's did.
He cried himself to sleep, fearful of tomorrow.
Ritsuka watched quietly, as Seimei and a man with chin length blond hair haggled over the price for him.
After a while, they shook hands, and Seimei walked away.
The blond man called to a woman, with pigtails, who put shackles on Ritsuka, then led him down a long, narrow stairway. At the bottom of the stairs were half a dozen cages, most held a young neko boy or girl.
Ritsuka was shoved in to one, near the wall, opposite the stairs.
He wasn't sure how much time had passed, while he was imprisoned there. He knew what little food they got, was discussing, and barely able to be considered edible.
Occasionally, the pigtail woman would bring down another neko.
Then, one day, she started to take them away.
She came down the stairs, threw open the door to the cage of the pink haired girl, who said she had gotten here right before him, and hauled her up the stairs.
He began shaking, knowing he would be next.
About five minutes later, she came, and led him up the stairs, by the shackles on his wrist.
At the top of the stairs, Ritsuka was stood on a small platform, on a small stage.
"4"11', black hair, purple eyes, good tempered, only twelve so he's still trainable. Let's start the bidding at $50!" the blond man called.
Various men and women shouted out prices until a man shouted out $200
"Going. going. Sold!" the blond man called.
Ritsuka couldn't see the man yet and shook as he heard the footsteps come towards him.
