CHAPTER TWO – Meet the Captors
Our favorite male shamans are now sulking over their bad luck back stage. "You! This is all your fault! If you hadn't been a stupid baka and signed us up, we'd be happy at home!" Ren pointed an accusing finger at Horo Horo.
"Hey! How was I to know you didn't want to go? Besides, Jun helped." the ice shaman pointed out.
"Save me! Don't let him take me away! I'm doomed! Why Anna? Why did you have to do this to me!" Yoh yelled hysterically at the sky, unable to keep still.
"Stop fidgeting before I go off the edge!" the Chinese shaman barked.
"Huh, none of us are going to survive the night at this rate. It's not even our dates yet and we're already bordering on complete pandemonium." Lyserg commented dryly. They lapsed into silence, each in their own thoughts, mostly going over mental survival plans.
"If I am traumatized for life, you are paying my bills." Ren informed Horo.
"You all, numbers one through five, this way!" called one of the assistants. They reluctantly stood and sluggishly followed him into another room, where their buyers were presently waiting.
Apparently, Anna and Hao were not on good terms, because two security guards stood between them, warily glancing at the unhappy girl. Hao smirked in triumph when he saw Yoh come in anxiously fidgeting, staring at his brother as though he were some kind of snake.
"FOOD!" the fat woman bellowed, grabbing Ryu's wrist and pulling him out.
"He's so hot!" a fan girl screeched and glomped Ren, who struggled to breathe in the choke hold. He managed to push her off and crossed his arms, lowering his face so that his hair hid his blush.
"Are you trying to strangle me! Let's just get this escapade over with, and stop treating me like a stuffed animal! What do I look like? A plushy?" he snapped after he recovered and had to continue to shove her off, as she refused to let go of his arm. He stumbled off, dragging his leg that she had a death hold on.
"Ahh, my little otouto. I expect to get my money's worth from you." Hao smirked mischievously and led the way out, knowing he was following. Anna scowled, then grinned evilly, and without a word, literally dragged Horo by his foot, out. Horo kicked and screamed and broke several nails trying to hold on to the carpet.
"Um, hi..." the girl who bought Lyserg whispered almost inaudibly. He blushed furiously and averted his eyes to the floor, scuffing at his shoes. Several moments passed and the guards finally shoved them out, where they walked in silence.
