Behind Those Eyes- Chapter 1 Master and Slave

Everyone gave a series of silent claps as the man walked away. The door to the cell opened, with the guard heading towards the boy. "Now it's your turn…" The guard said, dragging the boy away like the children before him. The boy knew not what to come, but he looked ahead, past the dark hallway into another room. There appeared two young ladies, both smiling when he appeared before them.

"Oh, and who is the lucky geezer that bought this lovely face?" One of them asked, sticking her tongue out like a snake. The boy noted that the lady was only looking at his legs and body. Not once did she make contact with his eyes.

"Zabuza Momochi." The guard spoke, and from the look of things, the lady was not pleased.

"That creep? He'll tear this girl up before the day even ends." She commented. "I could always buy you from him I suppose." Leaning down, the lady tilted the side of the boy's face. She smiled by what she saw though the boy was not entirely sure what it was.

"I wouldn't get your hopes up. The guy paid 100 million ryô for this one." The look of the lady dropped, most likely surprised by the amount as the boy noted.

"Shit. Guess I'm out of luck…too bad, I would have like to take a bite out of her." She shrugged before looking over the other lady. They looked like twins, though the other lack the vivid personality that this one had.

"Well, before anything else… we need to make this one extra presentable. Right Hina-chan?"

"Right Aoi-chan." They both grabbed each of the boy arms and forced him to a shower stall on the side. They turned on the shower and forcefully removed all he had. From there, they cleaned his body in a matter of a few minutes before putting a towel on him. Then the twins dragged him from one side of the room to another. This time to sit on a chair where they began their project. At first, they examined his body more closely and when they found unwanted hair, they would either pluck it out or use wax for better measure. This went on until they reached his face. Lucky for him, his face was flawless.

Several minutes passed, and after some slight pain all over his body, they released him. It hurt more for the boy when he walked but he said nothing.

"Tsk… what a downer. She turned out to be a boy." The lady from before said with a disappointed look. Before the boy could comment on that, another guard pushed him to the next room where another girl did his nails and his hair. This one hardly said a word and lack the personality of the first. In fact, her face was stoic throughout the entire time he was with her. She would mostly say one worded phrases like "Sit. Hands. Eyes."

While the girl was scrubbing his hair thoroughly, the boy looked around the room. There were no decorations of any kind on the wall and the room only had one light source from the ceiling in the center. Overall, this place gave a dreadful appearance but mainly because of the girl. The boy wanted to say something but whenever he tried, the girl would order him to do something, ceasing his efforts.

"Stay here." The girl said, the first that the boy heard her say something with more than one word. He nodded as she left for a minute, before returning with something in her hand. She presented a box to which he opened and found a dress. Before she left, he made sure to thank her and gave her a slight smile. The girl stopped for a moment, but the moment ended and she was gone.

Then he stood there in a new kimono, obviously for a girl, but he did not complain. It was significantly better than those rags he had before.

One last person came to him. This time it was a lanky old man with glasses. "Here, these are for you." He presented the boy with some new wooden sandals. The boy nodded as he took the shoes from the man's tired hands. All that was left was the room ahead of him as the man pointed out to him. The boy had an idea on who was standing there. Wishing to not waste time, the boy quickly putted on his sandals and walked on ahead through the curtain door.

"You finally arrived…boy."

The boy saw the man leaning on a wall though a chair was clearly there for him. The man looked only to the boy's eyes and continued to do so as he began to walk towards the boy. Each step the man took, made a sudden beat as the boy's heart began to synchronize with them until he stood in front of the boy, looking down. The boy could clearly see what was behind those eyes and was sure it was the same for the man.

"Come, we have some work to do." The man said, turning around and heading towards the exit.

Your eyes remind me of mine. Thought the boy as he followed obediently alongside his master, not minding the huge sword upon his master's back.

-To be continued...

The format would be similar to My husband is a Ice Dragon in the sense that each chapter will be short. The next chapter will officially introduce the two of them and the type of life the boy will be living.
