Auctions Can Be Fun

Sesshomaru tapped his foot impatiently.

"Come now, InuYasha. We mustn't be late."

InuYasha rolled his eyes as he addressed his half-brother.

"Why do I have to go again?"

"Because you should see what we do to help the humans. I would have thought you, especially, would want to help save them since you are a half-demon."

Looking in the mirror, InuYasha watched his golden eyes turn red, fangs elongate, purple streaks appear, and claws get sharper as he put his ring on. It was the one thing that could conceal his human blood and give the illusion of being full demon.

"Yeah, yeah, just hurry up."

InuYasha walked out and into the limo.

Sesshomaru pinched the bridge of his nose, "I swear he will be the death of me one day, that is, if I don't kill him first."

Getting in the limo, his older brother gave him a cold stare.

"InuYasha, one day I hope you understand the severity of the situation and fully grasp exactly what we are doing."

The hanyou, just looked out the door at the various demons with their humans. The young women were used as sexual toys or maids, the men were always taken to a large company or corporation to do hard labor for them, and the little ones' fate was always up in the air, but most of the time they were sent to work in the mines. Yeah, he understood what was at stake.

Kagome woke up in a cage, the front was blue electric bars, and the sides were two iron walls. Touching it, she pulled her hand back as the magic scorched her.

"I guess this isn't a dream then."

Looking down, she was thankful to see that her body had not been messed with since her clothes were still in the same state as before, and her backpack was still safely secured to her shoulders. As she moved her hands over her shoulders, she touched something that wasn't there before…a collar.

"Hello! Can someone please help me?! what's going on?!"

The Lightning demon named, Hiten walked over to her.

"What do you want, human?"

"I want to know what's going on and why I'm in an electric cage?"

Reaching his hand through the bars, he grasped her chin.

"We're going to sell you to the highest bidder, and with those eyes and that body, we may not have to auction anything else."

Yanking her face free, she spat on him.

"I'm not for sale."

Wiping the saliva from his face, he smirked at her.

"You know, if I weren't about to sell you in perfect condition, I'd make you regret doing that. Then again, perhaps becoming someone's plaything will be punishment enough for you. I'm sure there's a demon anxious to break a strong spirited girl like you."

Kagome stared wide-eyed.

"D-demons? As in Feudal era folklore demons?"

He cocked a brow at her, "we're all demons here, silly human."

Before she could ask any more questions, Hiten walked off and Kagome could hear the auctioneer start his introduction.

Taking their seats, InuYasha held onto his number sign and waited for the battles to begin. Sesshomaru was texting on his phone, uninterested in any of it until the humans were up.

The auctioneer stepped up on stage, a lizard demon, how fitting.

"Welcome, welcome! Whether you are into ancient antiquesss with cursesss and enchantmentsss, or want the best of the best in humansss, we have it all! Now we don't normally announce these thingsss, but we have a very rare valuable gem coming up after the antiquesss, and believe me, you will want to stay for thissss one. Alright! Let the auction begin!"

Everyone clapped and the auction was off. They sold about twelve antiques before the auctioneer announced their first human bid of the day.

Kagome was thrust out onto the stage, shackled on her wrists and ankles and tears streaking down her face. She wanted to turn around, but the demon Hiten held her shoulders so she couldn't move. Instead, she ducked her head, wanting to hide herself, but alas they wouldn't even let her do that. Hiten yanked her head back by her hair so her face was seen by all.

The auctioneer cleared his throat.

"Thisss isss the gem of today'sss auction! Young and healthy, thisss girl can be a great maid, or even a welcomed bedmate. Her exotic look isss quite rare! Voluptuousss body with large breastsss, and pale soft skin, silky black hair, but most importantly, bright cerulean eyesss. Not to mention, one whiff of her scent isss enough to do you in, after all there'sss nothing better than a virgin. Shall I take the first bid for 500,000?"

Okay, if Kagome didn't want to sink into a hole before, the auctioneer announcing her virginity had her ready to leap into the biggest and deepest hole she could find. Not baring to look at who was bidding for her, she squeezed her eyes shut as the bidding over her life commenced.

So many number signs went up and InuYasha was mesmerized by the beauty on stage. He couldn't let any of these bastards have her!

"2.5 million!"

All the demons turned to him, shook their heads and sat down, all but one that is.

"3 million!"

InuYasha glared at the pale demon, and their battle kept going for a few more minutes, but InuYasha was tired of the game.

"10 million!"

The auctioneer slammed his gavel down.

"Sold for 10 million to InuYasha Takahashi!"

Walking up to claim his prize, he moved past Sesshomaru who had a pen in his mouth as he typed something, only to have it drop from his gaping mouth as he heard how much his brother bought the girl for.

Kagome was led off the stage and faced the handsome demon, that won her, with a forlorn expression.

He came up and ordered the shackles off her ankles, then took her by the wrists and led her out the building and into the limo.
