Chapter 2: The Auction

I stared at my reflection, looking myself over. He had given me a silk snow white nightgown, with nothing underneath. It fell down to my ankles. My nipples were visible through the thin material. My feet were left bare, except for a simple anklet. I was told not to put on any makeup. He wanted me to look as pure as possible. "It'll boost up the sales" he'd said.

"My god you look delectable." I heard him say.

I turned around looking him straight in the eyes. I wondered how long he had been standing there. I shivered, I could feel his eyes roaming over my body. He walked towards me, brushing my hair behind my ear.

"You are the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on. I would've loved to had tasted you before you left." He whispered into my ear.

I wanted to throw up. The feel of his hot breath against my ear was disgusting.

"Then you wouldn't have earned as much money as you're about to," I said.

I mentally rolled my eyes. Earned, I had to stroke his ego. He was a wild card. I wasn't going to mess up my chances of getting away from him.

He grinned. "Exactly. I always liked you 199337. Not only are you more beautiful than the others but, you're smart as well, beauty and brains."

"Thanks," I said rather dryly.

I had to hide the disgust I felt from being in his presence. Being in the same room as he made my skin crawl. There was this terrible feeling that came from him. You could feel the evil rolling off of him in waves and, those ruby red eyes. It's as though they could burn holes through you.

"Come, it is time." He held out his hand to me.

I took it. "Yes, Naraku."

My heart was pounding. I could hear it drumming in my ears. It felt like it was about to jump out of my chest. I was standing behind a thick velvet curtain on a stage. The voices coming from behind them were chattering away. As if they weren't here to buy the rights to someone's life. It was probably a bunch of rich snobby men. Who believed that they could do anything, as long as they had money. I was nervous, it was like I was going to throw up any given moment.

"Now, for the main event, you have all been waiting for. A rare beauty, untouched by any man." Naraku said.

I rolled my eyes, as I listened to him. Introducing as if I was some sideshow attraction. The curtain was drawn. I had to cover my eyes to shield them from the bright stage lights. I heard gasps coming from the audience. They gawked at me like I was some spectacle. I crossed my arms, trying to somewhat shield myself.

"I'll start the bidding at ten million."

I just simply stared at my feet. Listening to the pigs as they drove the price up higher and higher. It amazed me how much men were willing to pay for something like this.

"One hundred million!" I heard someone say.

My head shot up. Who would be willing to pay such a high price for me? I searched the crowd until I found him. He was sitting in the front row. He was fat and balding. A girl sat at his feet, a collar sat around her neck. God please, I'm begging you, anyone, anyone but him. I could see the liver spots climbing up his double chin. One of his eyes was clouded with gray. He smiled at me, I could feel the bile rising in my throat. I had to fight just to keep it down. His teeth were jagged, a few of them were yellow and brown. The look on Naraku's face made me feel even worse. He looked like a kid who had just walked into a candy store.

He grinned. "Well then," Naraku began. "Going once, going twice s-"

"Two hundred million dollars."

I tried to see the man's face. The man who had just bought me but, he was too far away and, the lights were blocking my view. I could practically see the dollar signs in Naraku's eyes.

"SOLD! To Mr. Taisho for the amount of two hundred million dollars."

I was dragged off of the stage, in a matter of seconds. They put me back into the room I was in before. A few minutes passed before Naraku came in, along with another man. I watched as they exchange paperwork. The man wrote what seemed like a check and, handed it over.

"Well Mr. Taisho I hope you enjoy your product," Naraku said grinning and, exiting the room.

This man, he was tall and very regal. He had a certain air about him, it was overwhelming. He looked me over. His amber eyes locking with my blue ones.

"What is your name?" His voice was so deep, it made shiver.

"199-"

"Your name girl, not your number." He said cutting me off.

"Kagome... Higurashi." It had been years since I'd said my name. It had sounded so foreign on my tongue.

"Hn. Has anyone touched you in any sexual way?"

"No," I said.

I see he was just like the rest. He wanted to get his rocks off. Just to get a taste of a virgin girl. I slipped off my straps letting the nightgown drop to the floor. I could feel the blush spreading across my cheeks. It was impossible to hide my embarrassment at his point. He looked me over once more with his amber orbs. I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"So, how are we supposed to do this?" I asked him.

I watched him as he grabbed a bag that wasn't there before. He held it out to me.

"Put your clothes on Ms. Higurashi. I'm here to take you home. I will be waiting outside." He said as he exited.

Oh god, I buried my face into hands. How the hell was I supposed to look him in the eye after that? I must have looked like some slut who was able and ready. Then what he said had hit me.

"Where was home supposed to be?"
