The raven haired man pushed the doors open. The blonde followed, a bit uneasy as he scanned the building carefully.
"Naruto you act like you've never been to one of these." Sasuke chuckled as he turned to the blonde. Naruto glared uncomfortably at the taller male as they entered a dark room with fancy décor and a large stage at the front.
"Cause I haven't, you dragged me here." The Uchiha smirked and sat down at one of the tables in front of the stage.
"True, just try and bid. There might be one you like." Naruto scanned the room and saw in was mostly full with old rich men and a few fat guys, making him sit down and shiver.
"Hey, Sasuke what am I supposed to do?" The blonde asked as the lights began to dim. The Uchiha lit a cigar and took a deep inhale of the burning tobacco.
"Well, they'll bring one of the products on stage and if you like it you try and bid more money than anyone else bidding." The raven haired boy answered blowing smoke out, causing the blonde to cough slightly.
"And you've done this before, right?" The Uzumaki asked a little quieter as a man walked out on stage.
"Loads of times don't worry." Sasuke turned to the stage and blew out another puff of smoke.
"Welcome Gentlemen to tonight's private auction!"The man called out from the stage.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Naruto sat in horror as slaves were sold off. He'd never bought one before; he only had the one that had already been serving his family before he was born.
"300 pounds!" Sasuke called out startling the blonde. He turned to the stage and saw a, clearly drugged, girl sitting there, wearing barely anything but two cloths sewn together.
"350 pounds!" someone called out from somewhere in the large room.
The Uchiha sighed and laid back in his chair. "Aren't you going to bid more, Sasuke?"
Naruto asked making the raven haired boy smirk. "Nah, if that guy wants her that bad to pay over 300 for her, he can have her."
"Sold for 350 pounds!" The man called from the stage. A guard to the girl to the back, so the man who bought her could pick her up. The man on stage looked down at a list and yelled out. "Now our prize auction of the night, a young 16 year old male."
Another guard literally dragged a long haired brunette onto the stage, the boy was kicked and trying to yell through the gag they had secured on him.
Naruto blinked softly and starred at the feminine looking male. His skin a pinkish-white, long straight chocolate hair and his eyes! Soft clear lavender. The Uzumaki's smile faded softly as he saw all of the bruises and cuts on the boy's body.
"I'll start the bidding at 200 pounds!" The man called. Several voices filled the air. The number kept rising as quickly as it could before Naruto could even break his gaze at the boy someone yelled out.
"900 pounds!" the room grew quiet. A man stood up, he had a cigarette in his mouth and a nasty looking scar across the front of his face. He smirked as he eyed the boy on stage. The brunette blinked and started thrashing around again.
"1-1-1000 pounds!" Naruto called out without even thinking, he stood and raised his hand slightly.
"1000 going once!" the man from the stage called. The blonde glanced at the man with the scar.
"Going twice!" The made with the scar sat back down and the blonde smiled softly.
"Sold for 1000 pounds!"
Naruto collapsed in his chair and sighed. "How was that?"
Sasuke chuckled and just replied, finishing off his cigar. "You're an Idiot."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Hyuuga had fallen asleep after they pressed a cloth to his mouth, forcing him to inhale to the powerful fumes. As he starred into the darkness behind his heavy eyelids, he felt someone tugging softly at his hair. He forced his heavy eyes opened and saw a soft cream colored pillow.
"Careful, you might wake him up, Lisa" A boy's voice called and a little girl's giggle followed. The Hyuuga sat up and heard the two gasp.
Neji blinked and looked around the room, it was covered in expensive fabrics and furniture, he was wearing a button up shirt, which someone had neglected to button even one of the clear colored buttons, and two dark skinned children were sitting next to him.
"H-Hello" His voice cracked softly as he tried to smile a little, his face hurt all over from being hit repeatedly. The younger girl was the first to speak.
"Your eyes are really pretty!" She pointed and smiled, standing up she walked over to Neji and grabbed the Brunette's face.
"They look like milk" She giggled as the boy grabbed he hand and pulled her back down. He glared slightly at her and scolded.
"Lisa, that's not polite."Neji chuckled softly, but just ended up coughing. She reminded him of Hanabi, His youngest cousin.
"Hey Mister, You want a glass of water or something?" The boy asked as he leaned closer. Neji nodded softly as he got his cough to calm down. "Y-Yes, Thank you…"
"Kay, Lisa you wait here" He ordered the girl and jumped off the bed and out the door.
"Hi, my name's Lisa Uzumaki" The girl exclaimed happily as she climb into Neji's lap. She wore her curly jet black hair in a pony- tail; she wore a soft pink dress with black shoes.
"H-Hi Lisa, I'm Neji." The Brunette said with a pained smile on his face. First he needed to find out where he was. He looked around the room and through the open door. He saw an old Man with snow white hair, all the way down to his waist, leaning against the door sill. When had he gotten there?
"Ah, !" Lisa called, causing the man walk into the room. He grinned and sat on the edge of the bed. "Good morning Lisa, Has our new family member woken up?"
She nodded and ran off Neji's lap jumping onto the man's back. He laughed and picked her up.
"Well why don't you go play downstairs for a little while, so I can have a word with him?" The man set her down; she hesitated but soon left the room waving goodbye to Neji.
The Hyuuga waved back softly, but quickly returned his attention to the white haired man; 'Jiraiya' was what Lisa called him.
"She's really cute huh?" The man said as he walked over to the brunette. Neji felt the mood change to one he wasn't sure if he liked that much. He needed to play this one a little bit more carefully than he had in the past.
"Yes, sir" He could see by the way the man smirked slightly, that he had made somewhat of a good move.
"You remember anything, kid?" Jiraiya said as he leaned down, as if to get a good look at the other male's face.
"It's a little bit foggy but yes."
"That's good." The Hyuuga couldn't help but notice the man was getting closer to him. He put one hand beside him and leaned slightly in the other direction. But Jiraiya grabbed his chin harshly and forced him back over. Neji winced as the man drug his finger into a soft faded bruise on his cheek.
"You'd better understand your place here, Kid." The man growled as he pushed the brunette down against the bed with his free hand. Leaning over the smaller male as he continued.
"You've been bought, and for a pretty large amount no doubt; which means you are owned now." The man's grip got harder and the Hyuuga's defenses were back, he quickly smacked his hand away and at least tried to push the man off him.
The man glared down and grabbed both of the Brunette's arms, holding them above his head. He leaned down closer, closing up any space behind them.
"Or do I need to explain to you just exactly what that means, kid." Neji didn't respond he just sat there and starred back at the man, waited to see what he did next.
The larger man brought his hand down and punched the Hyuuga in the stomach, causing his to gasp out and start coughing again.
"You answer when someone asks you a question boy." Neji's get in the way pride was back as he glared at the man.
"Fuck you" The Hyuuga regretted saying it the second it left his mouth.
The next things happened fast; Jiraiya threw the covers of the bed to the ground and wrestled the brunette flat down on to the middle of the bed. Neji's eyes widened in fear as the man smirked and literally ripped what little of a shirt he had, off. The Hyuuga struggled to get away and started yelling, he knew he didn't like the way this way going to end.
Jiraiya slammed a hand over his mouth and grabbed a good handful of his hair in the other. Pulling the brunette closer as he said in a hushed threatening tone. "You'd better be quiet you dog."
The door swung open, causing Jiraiya to fling his head around.
"Isn't it a little early for you to be wreaking the peace of the world." A tall man walked in, he had shoulder length, fiery red and orange hair, tied back into a pony tail. He grinned and had the most frightening eyes, the Hyuuga had ever seen. Blood red with cat slits-like pupils.
"Ah, Kyuubi. You're usually asleep at this time." Neji winced as the Man pulled his hair harder. The man sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Kinda hard to sleep when you're trying to play with Naruto's new toy, At least before I get to." The man smirked and looked at Neji. The brunette felt a shiver go up his back; he recognized the look the red haired man gave him was the same as the jail's warden.
"No one's playing with him, and he's not a toy, you assholes." A blonde man pushed Kyuubi and walked into the room. He glared at the two of them.
"Who said you could come into my room? Let alone my house? Cause frankly I don't remembering hearing a knock." The red haired man Smirked and ruffled his blonde locks.
"You're said I always welcome here." The smaller man smacked his hand, clearly pissed off.
"When you were a bum, not mooching off every rich bastard you could. And you." The blonde turned and glared harder at Jiraiya.
"Get the hell out of my house, both of you. Or else I'm gonna get really pissed." The white haired man let go of the Hyuuga and sent a look at the blonde as he and the red head left.
The blonde sighed and shut the door; he grabbed the blanket off the floor and spread it across the bed, throwing it over the Brunette's head. Neji pulling the thin cotton off his head and looked at the blonde, he'd walked over to a cabinet. He pulled out a white shirt identically to the other.
"Here" He offered the shirt and sat at the end of the bed. The Hyuuga nodded softly and took the shirt. He put his arms in and button in up leaving the top two undone. A knock at the door made the Brunette flinch slightly; the blonde noticed this and went over to the door.
"What is it?" Neji could see Lisa and the boy through the blonde's legs. He took something from them, and then sent them away.
"They said this is for you." He set a glass of water down on the night stand. Neji nodded and carefully grabbed the cup. As he lifted it to take a sip he froze, What if he'd slipped something into it?
"Do you want something to eat?" The blonde asked. Neji held the glass in his lap and shook his head slightly.
"Do you want me to have a doctor come and treat your wounds?" The blonde asked looking somewhat sympathetic.
"W-Wounds?" Neji coughed slightly, he didn't care if there was some crazy drug in it, his throat was killing him. He took two large gulp of the cold water and exhaled softly. He set the glass on the night stand and then realized the blonde had gotten closer to him.
"Here" he extended his hand and wiped the Hyuuga's face with a warm wet cloth. Neji stiffened first, but soon let his face enjoy the gentle cleaning. The blonde reached a hand around and held his head steady, he massaged the brunette's scale softly as he swabbed away the sweat and dirt from the smaller man's face.
"I could have one of the maids help you if you wanted to take a bath." The blonde lowered the cloth and picked up a hair brush, He softly ran it through the Brunette's long straight hair.
"Um, w-what's your name?" Neji asked as the blonde brushed.
"Naruto, Yours?"
"Neji"
