Summary: While attending a slave auction with his father, the son of the richest man in the world had no idea that he would actually have his interest captured by one of the young men put up for sale. There he comes into the possession of a world-weary young man, who possesses a strange view of the world around him. Making his plans to take over ShinRa, he had no idea that this one person would be the key to helping him with his goals. Not to mention saving their world from the fate that was written down for them.

A/N: Well I am certainly happy that everyone loved the first chapter of this story. Plus I felt motivated by all of the reviews that I received, and hopes that this continues. I've decided thanks to the nagging of a friend of mine, that if I get a lot of reviews then I will work extra hard on updating the chapters more frequently when I can. College has me in a stranglehold right now with only two weeks in the quarter left, and the inevitable amount of projects that shall be shoved down my throat. Thankfully, I'll be spending a lot more time on the computer due to this.

Also I've come to notice that a lot of people are talking about the length of the chapter, and I have to say sorry but I will make the chapter longer or shorter depending on how long I want the chapter to be. That's just something you are going to have to accept. I don't have a lot of time to be working on fanfiction already, and so if it's short then you're just going to have to accept that.

LOL, anyway I hope that you enjoy this chapter as well.

Prologue, Part II

Leaning back in his seat with an air of indifference, Rufus Shinra, the Vice President of the ShinRa Electric Power Company, took in the people around him. The handsome blond had no idea as to why he allowed his worthless father to talk him into attending one of these abominable events.

Really now?

A slave auction?

What exactly is entertaining in the least about this situation?

Allowing his icy aquamarine eyes to scan the others that came, he snorted as he took in their different behaviors. His father, Rufus Shinra Sr. and the President of ShinRa was currently being entertained by a woman, whose dress put even their 'beloved' Scarlet's to shame in skimpiness. Bringing his glass to his lips, he turned his attention to the woman in question. The head of the Weapons Development Department was currently talking to one of the many young men, whom were positioned around her feet as if she was some kind of goddess. He couldn't help but be amused as she ignored the attentions of Heidegger, the head of the Public Safety Maintenance Department, and Palmer, the head of the Space Exploration Department.

Swishing the wine around in his glass, he glanced over his shoulder and wasn't surprised to see the disgusted look that Tseng, his personal bodyguard sent in the direction of the trio. After all, the latter two of the trio were nothing but jokes in ShinRa despite their positions. Heidegger was a braggart, whom loved to make himself seem more important than he was. Just thinking about that god-awful statue he had built, made him contemplate whether he should have the Turks blow it sky high every day.

The Space Program, which should've been a point of pride for their company was a catastrophe under the incompetent man. Rufus still didn't know why his father allowed the man to continue being the head, when it was obvious that he had no idea what he was talking about. Bringing his glass up to his face, he lightly sniffed the wine and hummed softly. One person he could thank Gaia didn't attend was Hojo, the Head of the Science Department. He gave Rufus the creeps, and didn't believe that the only experiments the man did were the ones he made reports on for their monthly meetings.

But the most surprising guest of their little party had to be the SOLDIER Director, Lazard Deusericus, and the three Generals of SOLDIER Angeal Hewley, Genesis Rhapsodos, and Sephiroth. All four men seemed to be extremely uncomfortable with the situation, even though Sephiroth showed no such thing. Angeal showed his displeasure with a deep frown as he scanned their surroundings, he was dressed in pressed blue dress shirt and black slacks. Genesis was too busy reading his Loveless novel, and seemed to be trying to block out the sound of people placing their bids on the people being auctioned off. He was wearing a red and black dress shirt, and black slacks.

Sephiroth sat in his chair and watched the proceedings with impassive cat-slitted green eyes. His silver hair over his shoulders, and he was dressed in a pair of black slacks and black dress shirt. The man was basically sex personified, not that he was better looking than him though.

Lastly there was Reeve Tuesti, the head of the Urban Development Department, whom looked just as uncomfortable here as he did any time he was around the rest of them. He was there sipping his drink, while shifting slightly as some women threw him kisses. Chuckling slightly, Rufus threw back the rest of his drink and motioned for another. It was going to be a long night, he could tell that already.

Thankfully Hojo hadn't decided to show up, and that was something that everyone was grateful for. Everyone was creeped out by that man in one way or another. Sipping a bit of his new glass, he let his eyes drift over to the stage where person by person was being sold to the highest bidder. Rufus couldn't help his lip curling downward in disgust at the people clamoring left and right to outbid each other over the life of a human being disgusting. All of the people on stage either were scared of the life ahead of them, angry, or resigned. He felt the most pity for those that were resigned. After all, that meant that they knew there was nothing they could do.

His father of course clapped as he laughed boisterously at every person that was sold. If he wasn't already disgusted enough of his father, he would swear that he had reached a new level of hatred for the man. The President of Shinra had done the exact same thing with his many lovers even Rufus's mother. Rufus Shinra Sr. seemed to still believe that he knew nothing about that piece of information.

"Alright everyone, this is one of the more exotic pieces of merchandise that we have available this evening!"

With those words, all eyes seemed to snap to the auctioneer whom had a smug smirk on his face. Obviously, he had known that this was the part of the show that everyone was waiting for this whole time. The overhead lights shined down on the stage, and a delicate young man was being brought onto the stage. For some reason, he had strips of leather covering his eyes, and there were shackles on his wrists and ankles. Raising an eyebrow at this, Rufus wondered why exactly they used these kinds of measures. He had seen them do the same with the more built slaves, but this boy didn't seem like he could hurt a fly.

'But looks are deceiving…'

After all, not many knew that he could wield a shotgun with one hand. Just because he was the favored son of the President, many thought that he had been raised with a silver spoon in his mouth. They were right to a certain extent, but unfortunately, with that silver spoon there was a gun pressed against the back of his head as well.

"This one is a real beauty with an unknown origin, a slender almost delicate build, skin as pale as the moon, and hair darker than the night sky itself…but that's not all-"

Rufus traced the boy's body with his cold aquamarine eyes, and then he looked over everyone's reactions. Brushing his hair away from his face, he was amused to see that out of everyone, Sephiroth seemed to be the most interested in a way besides perversion. The latter interest being what was coming from Palmer and Heidegger. Turning his attention back to the man, he watched as he pulled the strips of leather away from the boy's face and his eyes widened a little at the brilliant green eyes that were revealed to them all.

"-and eyes as bright as the very substance that fills our planet."

Instead of the fear or even rage that was expected, the young man only seemed to stare at them nonchalant at the fact that he was about to sold to the highest bidder. Don't take what he was saying wrong; he wasn't saying that he was broken. Oh there were several before him, whom looked like they had been, but he looked as if this didn't matter to him. Almost as if he was used to this, and didn't very much care for what was happening because he couldn't care less.

"So should we start the bidding at One million gill?"

Sipping form his wine glass once more, he couldn't help but feel curious about the jaded glint in this boy's eyes. Chuckling softly at this turn of events, he turned to Tseng while the others in their group watched the auction commence. The tall Wutainese man leaned over the back of the chair, and didn't move as the blond Vice President of ShinRa whispered something into his ear. After a few moments, the man nodded and stood back to his full height before walking back through the curtains behind their section.

Letting his eyes drift back to the stage, Rufus ShinRa Jr. had made a decision. He was going to buy this boy, because something was telling him that he will make things interesting. Not to mention, he wanted to know what gave someone so young those world-weary eyes. The prices that were being shot out were getting higher and higher, and most of those who had initially been betting had backed out as it went past the amount of money they possessed. One man in particular, a grotesquely large man seemed to be salivating at the sight of the shackled boy.

The corner of his lip curled in disgust, and remembered the name of the man. Don Coreno, a man whom was on his father's payroll in the slums was a known lover for beautiful things, especially women. But it seemed that this boy had caught his eye. Unfortunately for Coreno, he wasn't going to get his way this time. Smirking, he saw Tseng come back from behind the curtain and a metal briefcase was in his hands. It was set next to him, and he grasped the handle as he stood up.

No one noticed his movements but the SOLDIERs, Lazard, and Reeve. Once he was making his way towards the stage did everyone else at the table notice him. The closer he got to the stage, the more he could see that the boy was so bored with the situation that he was lost in his thoughts. Almost laughing, he stopped in the middle of the room.

"A hundred billion gil."

He knew there was no turning back after this. Continuing his path to the stage, he watched as the slender male was brought out of his thoughts and looked him directly in the eye. The smirk that slithered onto his face couldn't be stop as he saw the amused expression on the other's face. Getting up onto the stage, Rufus kept his eyes on the other's as he unlatched the top of the suitcase and slung it open. Paper gil fluttered around the stage like snow as it surrounded them. The widened green eyes that looked into his own caused Rufus's smirk to widen.

"This is enough right?"

Not a moment later, the shackles fell from the smaller male's wrists and ankles, before clattering to the floor beneath him. The pale 'merchandise' rubbed his wrists, while he continued to lock his half-lidded eyes with Rufus's. Otherwise, he didn't make a single move. Making his decision, he held out his hand to the other and his eyes hardened to show he wouldn't take any disobedience.

"Come."

Something flickered within those emerald green eyes, but then they were blocked from his sight as they closed and a delicate hand was placed in his own.

End of Prologue, Part II

Well that was the second Prologue and now we are onto the official first chapter, which I had been working on before this so it should be done soon! XD I've also started back working on Pretty Poison, because my hatred of Nibelheim has fired me up and forced me to work on it. Some thanks can also go to Gloxi, since she had asked me about it. Plus I was bribed! D8 I can't help but comply when I am being bribed with chapters~! =A= Once again, as much as I would like to make all these chapters long, I don't have that much time. So if they are short then they are short, and you're going to have to deal with it. I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter, and will stick around.

Ja ne,
