CHAINS
By: Maka
A/N: Ok this is something that I've had in my head. Zelgadiss is a slave and an origianl character named Tori is his master. Tori's from a Slayers rpg I'm in at the moment. Comments and critisism are welcome, I live on feedback. Nothing really horrible pwease...My poor ego would be shatterd.
Lord Aiko walked the small corridor with his young daughter beside him. They had some to buy her a slave; for she had turned seventeen just two days before and it was high time she took a slave of her own. Paying little attention to his daughter's ramblings about the cruelties of slavery Lord Aiko stepped into the main room and snapped his fingers. His daughter was silent now and she watched her father with angry eyes as he talked with the slaver keeper.
She had guess they were finished and they could leave when her father had come back to her, "I still do not understand..." She was cut off by the slave keepers' return and her father's nudge to follow the portly man. Lord Aiko followed behind and the three of them soon came to another smaller room, filled with what looked like human shaped birdcages. Lord Aiko put his arm around his daughter as he started to instruct the slave keeper exactly what type of slave he was looking for.
"This is my daughter," He looked at he keeper, "Tori Aiko. I'm looking for any male slave around the age of seventeen years of age." He continued. The keeper smiled and walked to the far right corner of the small room. Tori's frown depend but she walked with her father nonetheless and stood looking in to a cage with what she supposed were young boys all around her age.
"Here ya're sir," the slave keeper slurd grinning from ear to ear. He knew that with a Lord he would be making money. No matter what slave he sold he might even get rid of that one boy, his smile grew. "Take yer pick m'lady. They're all mixed right now but I kin show ya the innocents if that's what yer fancy is."
Tori watched the fat keeper with disgust, how could someone willingly sell over into slavery? Since she knew there was no way of getting out of purchasing a slave this time, Tori mentally sighed and walked up to the bars watching the slave. She felt so silly standing and wish with all her heart that she was home again. Tori walked slowly, looking at everyone of them. When she got to the end of the bars, she turned around and walked back again slowly.
"Who's that?" Tori pointed to the only boy sitting down. "What's his name?" She asked. Tori walked up to the bars opposite the boy, he just kept staring at the floor. The keeper looked at the one she was pointing and grinned.
"That one?" He asked talking out his keys, "Hrmm, well that one's name is Zelgadiss. Strange little thing isn't he?" Waddling over the slave keeper opened the door and gestured for Tori to follow him inside. She did so cautiously and stood the fat keeper, out of the boy's line of sight. She could hear whispering behind her back and wondered what that keeper was so happy. Moreover, why wasn't this boy standing with the others? Why was he all alone?
"Get up! C'mon boy, I got someone here interested in you surprisingly," The keeper turned to look over his shoulder at Tori, "This one here's been with me ever since I started this little trade, and that four years ago! No one seems to want this one for some reason." When the boy hadn't responded to the keeper order he nudged the boy hard in the leg, "I said get up boy!" The keeper pulled him up by the arm and Tori got a good look at the boy's features. Pushing the slave forward, the keeper stood behind putting a fat hand on the slim boy neck.
"Basterd." Tori heard it clearly, the contempt in his voice! Zelgadiss, that was his name. The keeper grumbled something and squeezed down on Zelgadiss' neck, the boy cried out and arched his back his hands coming to either side of his neck to try and get the fat man's hand off. Tori gasped at what the man was doing and moved to stop him.
"Eh, this one's got to learn his place." Said the keeper watching Tori, "He's stubborn, aren't ya?" He asked giving the boy a hand shake. Zelgadiss bit his lip, the was no way he could get the man's hand off him, putting his hands back at his sides Zelgadiss growled.
"I'm sorry master." He said in anger. Tori frowned as the keeper let go and motioned Tori over to him. He placed her hand over the where his hand had been, automatically she felt Zelgadiss tense again. "To get this to do what you want, you have to squeeze right here," He said, "At the base of his skull. After a few good squeezes, he should get the picture." Tori's frown depend and she let go of Zelgadiss. Looking at her father, she nodded and Lord Aiko snapped his fingers again.
"That one it is then." Her father said stepping out of the small room. "Get him ready, I wish to have this over and done with as soon as possible." He called from the other room. Quickly the keeper did as he was told and found a collar and leash leaving Zelgadiss and Tori alone for a few minutes. He came back and fastened the collar and leash and handed Zelgadiss over to Tori.
"What am I supposed to do with this?" She asked holding the leash out in front of her. Shaking his head, the keeper put his hands out his hips. "I don't care what you do with him now, his not my property anymore." With that said the keeper hurried to seal the sale.
Tori stood dumbfounded, "Well...now what do I do?" She asked herself aloud looking at Zelgadiss. "He's...mine? What do I do with him?" Zelgadiss cocked his head to the side to look at her. How strange...she wasn't like any of the other masters he had before.
"You could start walking so I could follow behind you and in turn get out of this hell." Zelgadiss suggested crossing his arms. Tori huffed and began walking with him behind her; it was so strange to own someone and she was starting to not the idea one bit. Tori walked out of the small room and past her father who was holding the door open for her and her new purchase.
"Ready then?" He asked as she passed by him. Zelgadiss kept his eyes trained on the ground, the last thing he needed to was upset his master's father. Lord Aiko sighed, "Tori-chan you knew that this day was going to come. Lets just go home shall we?" He asked stepping into the wagon that had brought them. Tori stepped inside followed by Zelgadiss who sat next to her. Tori's hands clenched her skirt as she watched Zelgadiss.
"OH! I cannot take it!" She said turning in her seat quickly and putting her hands on Zelgadiss' neck. Frightened that she was going to hurt him Zelgadiss flinched and pushed himself into the seat. "I...I wasn't going to hurt you." She said trying to calm him down, "I was only going to get that collar off." Tori moved again and Zelgadiss lifted his head up slightly for her to undo the buckle. The rest of the wagon ride when by quietly and in no time they were at the front of a white mansion. Zelgadiss stepped out and dropped his jaw when he saw the house.
"Well, Zelgadiss was it?" Lord Aiko asked Zelgadiss nodded slowly, "Welcome to your new home."
