Short Author's Note : Hello! This is my first time writing a fanfic story. By the way, I'm not that familiar to Japanese honorrifics and I'm still confused on when to use it, so I chose not to use it since it may cause confusion to others who know how to use it. Hehe sorry! PS. I am not affliated with any haikyuu characters and I do not own them as well.
EDIT: I made some revisions since I received a review that 'you' based stories aren't allowed here. So, I made some original characters. Names, characters, or incidents are products of my imagination only. Any resemblance to actual events and persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.
Chapter 1- New Master
*
Misaki's POV
I'm Seno Misaki, I'm a college student and I became a slave after I failed one of my subjects. In my school, there's a protocol that if a student failed one of his/her subjects he/she'll be a slave to somebody who belongs to the top rank or what they call 'elites'. The failing student is lucky if somebody chooses him/her because if he/she hasn't been chosen, he/she'll get kicked out. The master have the right to abandon or sell his/her slave to other elites if the master isn't satisfied with the slave's service. The master can do anything to the slave except killing him/her. If they fall inlove with each other, the master's position will be terminated and both of them will become slaves until the end of their college year.
Here I am now, being sold to another elite. My former master have found satisfaction in other slave that's why he wanted to swap slaves with his co-elite. I think his name is Kei. Tsukishima Kei. By the way, slaves can call their masters in first name basis, however they should always include 'master'. I don't have a say in this so I just hope that my new master would be different from my previous master, Kuroo Tetsurou.
My former master is aggressive, he tends to get mad easily at my slightest inconvenience so he punishes me by making fun of me in public or commands me to do some chores or errands for him. I don't have a choice because my job is to satisfy him so even if it hurts most of the time, I just cry it out when he's done using me. He's really scary when he's mad so I guess swapping masters isn't bad after all, maybe my new master will be kind. Nah, who am I kidding? All masters aren't kind, that's why they're called master for some reasons.
"You can do anything to her, Kei. I don't give a fuck about her anymore. I bet your slave is more useful than mine. I'm sorry for you but I'm glad that she's not mine anymore. Adios!" My former master left me with my new master. I didn't know what to do so I just bowed my head because this is what I do all the time when I'm with master Kuroo.
"What can I do for you, m-master.. Kei?" I'm not sure what to act, I don't know him though.
"Come with me." He said with a blank expression. I did what he said. We just walked through the hallways of the building. I'm not too far but not too close behind him.
He's wearing a black suit with silver chains. His blonde hair was slicked back. He looked like a son of a mafia but he really looks handsome.
He opened the door of an empty classroom and pointed his hand inside it. He wanted me to go inside so I obeyed his order.
He sat on one of the tables and put his hands inside his pockets. He looked at me from head to toe. I'm used to it so I didn't mind.
"What's your name?" He asked, still checking on me.
"Seno Misaki, master."
"Why did your master sold you?" I looked down on my shoes and placed my hands on my back.
"He said that I wouldn't be able to satisfy him anymore."
"Doesn't he treat you right? You look like you're beaten. You're so skinny and you look awful." Well, that's because he never let me rest. He always order me around to do everything that he likes. But ofcourse, I can't complain. I have no right because I'm a slave.
"No.. master"
"Ugh. That moron. He has no mercy." He crossed his arms." He's really an asshole. I'm glad he sold you to me. You know, I'm not like the other masters. I treat my slave nicely." He pulled out something from his pocket and gave it to me. It's a chocolate. Why did he give me this? "What's this for, master?" I accepted it but I'm still in shock. "Consider that a complimentary treat from me because you're now my slave." He's kinda weird but maybe he's not so bad after all. He offered me a treat, no master do that to their slave. I guess? Or I'm really unlucky that master Kuroo is my former master?
"Well, in that case, I'm honored to be your slave. I promise to satisfy you with all my might." I bowed to him after I put the chocolate inside my pocket.
"Good girl." I think my heart skipped a beat. Why did I get so worked up with that?!
He proceeded to go outside so I followed him.
"I'll send you the file of the contract. Make sure to read it before dismissal. What's the time of your dismissal?"
"4 PM, master."
"Alright. Fetch me in my room, I still have class until 5:30." He waved goodbye and I was still left dumbfounded. Do I really have a good master now? Did I became lucky all of a sudden?
I was startled when my phone vibrated. Master Kei added me in his private account! He sent the contract so I downloaded it immediately. I still have some free time so I read it on my way to my classroom.
Tsukishima Kei's Slave Contract
*This contract is good for the whole academic year. It will only be terminated if and only if I was dissatisfied with your service, or I agreed to sell you to other elite.
Here are the conditions of being my slave:
1. You should live with me since I live on my own. You can serve me better if we live under the same roof. I consider your service as payment for the rent, amenities, and other maintenance fees.
2. You'll have to cook for me. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Ofcourse, you got to eat with me since I'm not a heartless master.
3. You'll have to take care of me when I'm sick. I always get sick so yeah you need to skip school as well. I can teach you your missed lessons so you don't have to worry. Be grateful.
4. Update me your whereabouts. I need to know it since I don't know whenever I'll need you so it's important that I know where you are and who you're with.
5. I can do anything I want with you but I won't force you if you don't want to, but ofcourse I'm still your master so you don't have a say in whatever I want, unless when it comes to things that require consent. I still have respect, you know.
6. I won't sell you to other elite if I don't want to. It's my right as an elite.
7. I can excuse you from your class whenever I want.
8. You should always wait for my dismissal but I won't wait for yours so go straight home if you were dismissed later than me.
9. You shouldn't keep secrets to me, it goes the same for me. It's important to have a healthy master-slave relationship.
10. Lastly, you always need to abide the rules, unless I told you not to. And also, I'm the only one who can break the rules.
So, will you be my slave?
- end of contract -
I was really surprised because I didn't expect these kind of rules. My gosh, did he really put the living together in the first number?! I mean, I don't understand. Why does he really wanted me to live with him? I have my own flat! I just couldn't believe this man. He's a weirdo.
I messaged him. 'Is it really necessary to live together?' He replied yes, and I was really stunned for a moment.
He asked me to put my e-signature on the file already so that the contract will be valid starting today. What can I do? I don't know if I'm going to be happy with this or not. Well, atleast I'm not gonna be treated like some wild animal.
I put my signature on the contract and I forwarded it to him. I returned to my classroom, only to find out that my bestfriend is crying. She also has a terrible master. Damn you, Ushijima! He's more terrible than Kuroo.
"Hey, Kaori! What did Ushijima do this time?!" Teshima Kaori, my bestfriend, the one who stayed with me when everybody left me. We're both slaves. We both failed in the same subject because some people framed us that we had a cheat sheet on our final exam.
"He slapped me again infront of everyone." He always slaps Kaori everytime she does clumsy things. Kaori is a clumsy girl and Ushijima hates that so he always slaps her even infront of everyone.
"Why don't he just sell you to other elites if he couldn't put up with your clumsiness? Tch." I clicked my tounge out of annoyance.
"I don't know. Maybe he just wants to see me suffer so he doesn't want to sell me." I sighed. What did we do to deserve this? We just failed a subject, we didn't commit a crime. In fact, we're only framed by someone.
"Don't worry about me, Misaki. I'll be okay. How about you? I heard you have a new master. He's from the 3rd rank, right? Tsukishima Kei?" I nodded. Kuroo's in the 5th rank and Ushijima always remain in the 1st rank.
"So, what's he like?" I suddenly remembered what he did in the classroom. My cheeks turned red immediately. This is making me crazy.
"He's different from Kuroo. Way different. His contract is also different because he said I should live with him!" Kaori giggled as I said that I should live with my master.
"I'm jealous, Misaki. Your new master is probably gonna treat you right. I wish my master will also sell me to other elite." I pat her black and shiny hair. I also wish the same so that she would get rid of Ushijima.
Our professor entered the room so everybody stopped talking. He started with his discussion but I don't have the will to listen so I just stared at my notes.
The bell rang as a sign that it's already lunchtime. Kaori and I went to the cafeteria to buy our lunch. Slaves also come last when it comes to falling in line, while the masters can skip the line because they're all VIPs here. This discrimination pisses me off but what can I do? I can't afford to lose my education.
"Hey, Misaki." I was startled when I heard a familiar voice. I slowly looked back and infront of me was a tall blonde guy. No other than my master, Kei.
"Yes, master?" The other slaves infront of me were shocked that I now have a different master. They all wanted to be Tsukishima's slave but he doesn't terminate his contract with his slave that easily. So, I understand where they're coming from.
"Eat with me." He ordered. I looked at my bestfriend's eyes with guilt. She nodded at me saying that it's okay and she's fine if I leave her.
I obeyed his order and I followed his lead. Fellow students were looking at us because it' s new that a master would let his slave follow him when falling in line. Most of the time, masters leave their slaves at the end of the line while they relentlessly go straight at the starting line.
Master Kei ordered a strawberry shortcake paired with strawberry milk. He ordered me to order on my own while he's waiting for me to get my order. I ordered the same thing because it's my favorite.
"What? Do you like strawberry too?" He asked and I nodded.
"I guess we have the same favorites." He answered.
He sat down in one of the vacant seats and told me to sit beside him. I ate my food quietly but I wonder why did he ask me to have lunch with him?
"Master, why did you let me follow you to the starting line? I thought that slaves were expected to be left behind." He ignored me as if I didn't spoke. He's so salty sometimes.
I just pouted and didn't bother to ask again.
"I told you I'm not like the other masters." I was startled when he spoke. I felt warm flushes in my cheeks. Is he really a good master?
"So, can you move to my house right away? And what I mean by right away is later." I almost choked on my food. Why did he have to bring that up?! I'm still not thinking about it but he just asks me like it's not some sort of a big deal!
"But master.. I have my own house, you know. I can just come over anytime you want but I don't want to leave my house. I paid for it." He drank the last drop of his milk before he face me.
"You can't fulfill your duties if we're not living under the same roof. Are you dumb or something? I indicated that in the contract. Everything that follows in rule # 1 are connected to it. So, if you don't abide the 1st rule, how can you do the other 9?" He clicked his tounge and whispered something to himself.
"Then, how about my house? What am I gonna do with it?" I know I sound demanding for a slave but I can't really abandon my house.
"You can visit it sometimes, but your things should be at my house. End of discussion." He stood up and left me alone. I'm starting to get annoyed! He's so rude.
I stomped out of the cafeteria and went to the school's open field. I rest here sometimes under the shade of the tree. I needed to relax my mind.
I sat on my favorite spot and enjoyed the breeze of the wind. I was startled when I heard some rustling sounds from the bush.
"Is anybody there?" I asked. After a while, a green-haired, freckled guy appeared.
"Am I bothering you?" He asked. I shooked my head and let him sit beside me.
"I'm Seno Misaki." I introduced myself and he just stared at me.
"O-oh! I'm Yamaguchi, but just call me Tadashi." Tadashi? Oh, he also belongs to the elite. He's rank 6, next to Kuroo.
"I see, you belong to the elite." He gave me an awkward smile. Why? Doesn't he like to be an elite?
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"I just.. don't want to belong there" I looked at him with confusion. What's not to like about being an elite? I mean, besides of having a slave, you have many privileges and benefits. You can be exempted in your final exams if you maintained your high grade in the first two major exams. Also, you can participate in camps, and have free summer getaways.
"Why? Isn't it nice to be privileged? It's better than being a slave you know." I kicked the small rocks infront of me. I just want to be a normal student even if I don't have the chance to be an elite. Being a slave sucks.
"Y-you're a slave?" Why is he shocked? I'm the previous slave of the person above him. Why is he clueless about me?
"Yeah. My previous master is Kuroo and my current master is master Kei. You don't know about it?" He was more shocked when I said master Kei's name. Is he his friend or something?
"K-Kei?" I nodded.
"Oh. I thought his slave was Yachi."
"Well, Kuroo swapped with master Kei, so I'm his slave now." He smiled bitterly. Is he hiding something from me? Does he know something that I don't? Is he friends with my master?
I have so many questions in my mind but before I could ask him, he already started to speak.
"Kei doesn't want to change his slave or swap slaves with another elite. He should've finish the academic year with Yachi being his slave, but I don't know why he changed his mind. Maybe you're special, Misaki." What does he mean by that?! I am so confused right now. I'm special? How? In what way? I don't freaking understand!
"What do you mean by-" He cut me off and stood up.
"I'm going, Misaki. I hope to see you again." And with that, Tadashi left me with strangled thoughts in my head.
Why does master Kei agreed to swap with Kuroo if he planned to finish the academic year with Yachi being his slave?
