its me again :)

I hoped you liked chapter 1, here is chapter 2. I am going to try to get Eisuke to be more In character, but this is really hard haha. Thanks for reading my story

Eisuke's pov

The rest of my time I spent looking for her. I didn't see her though. Soryu seemed distracted as well. That was odd. He was always focused and sharp. But then again, so was I.

We went into the auction room, when the manager came rushing towards us. I asked him what was up, and he started speaking very fast. About the selling of a woman, that was not presentable, so they got another one. I shrugged. "Whatever. As long as this one gets me the same amount of money, I don't mind". He stared all over again, this time with a lot of 'I'm so sorry, sir's and 'it will not happen again's

I scowled at him angerly. Did he not think I had better things to do? He whimpered and ran away.

Item after item came. I did not really pay attention. I was still looking for her. I wanted to speak to her, to know her name. But she had disappeared.

After an other hour I gave up. I would have to admit to myself that I would never see that unhumanly-gorgeous woman again. The Mad Hatter started talking to the audience again. "And last but not least, ladies and gentlemen, you can use her as a maid, hostess or your personal toy. ." He winked at the last word. "This beautiful woman!" He pulled the cloth of the item next to him. It was an enormous golden cage, and within it was her. The redheaded woman. She sat gracefully. She did not look scared at all.

"Shall we start with one million yen?"

The numbers grew bigger, too quickly for my liking. Next to me I saw Soryu. He looked troubled, as if he could not decide whether to bid or not. That was it. I had to have her. I did not want to wait, so when the bidding came stuck at five million, I simply bid twenty million. The audience became quiet. I even saw the woman in the cage look up, to see who was willing to pay that much money for her.

I woke up in a cage. Great. A bloody cage. I heard a voice next to me. It was a man, telling someone I could be their maid, hostess, or personal toy. I could not help but shiver at the thought. Quickly I sat up and rearranged my dress. Whatever happened to me, I would always look descent. Suddenly there was a lot of light, and I saw I was in a great Hall. almost everyone was wearing a mask. Pff. Weak. As if someone is going to call the cops on you...

I heard the bids going up, and up. Until it came to a stop at five million yen. Damn. Did that gross dude in the front bid five million? Damn. He is the type for 'personal toy' isn't he? Ieuw... I closed my eyes and swallowed. Suddenly I heard the man on the stage saying: "and that's a bid for twenty million yen, ladies and gentlemen, twenty million yen going once

I looked around. Who would possibly pay twenty million yen? I could only see the front row. They all looked back, so it couldn't be them. "Going twice..."

I should just wait for it then. Aah shit! I suddenly remembered I promised Marc I would call him after the auction. Shit. He He is He is going to be so angry with me... "sold! For twenty million yen! "

After what felt like an eternity, I finally saw two me walking towards my cage. One of them was blonde, and quite young. The other slightly older. He had brown hair, and wore a hat. I looked up at him. He smiled at me. "Hello gorgeous. " He said to me. Oh no he did not! I could barely manage to keep a straight face. Don't laugh. Don't laugh. Don't laugh. Just look at him with your bitchface, and everything will turn out great.

After the two men had introduced themselves as Baba and Ota, they took me to the VIP elevator. "You have probably never been here before have you?" Baba asked me. "I have actually" I answered in a cold tone. Idiot. I live right beneath the penthouse, just because the penthouse was taken when we got here. "Oh" grinned Ota. "So you have a rich boss, don't you Koro?" Wait.. did he just call me a dog? I eyed him suspiciously. "No that can't be, you don't wear a collar..." He went on. Oh hell no! He did not just? Yes. He did. He called me a dog.

Without thinking I hit him in his face. How dare he. He looked at me with an shocked expression. "Koro!" He yelled. "You can't do that!" I raised my hand once again. Luckily for Ota, Baba stepped in this time. "Calm down Miss." He gently grabbed me.

"That's just the way he talks." I stared daggers at him. He holder me way too close. Don't do this to me when I am in my mobster mode. Baba had seemed to realise his mistake and quickly let go of me.

Eisuke's pov

After what had felt like an eternity, I heard the elevator give a ping. Signaling that it was here. I felt afraid. What was wrong with me? I had never been so nervous before. I had never been afraid.

What was wrong with me? I am Eisuke the fucking richest man in Japan. I am more powerful than that woman. It gave me courage, saying those things to myself. That's right. That woman is just going to do what I said, because she doesn't have a choice.

However, When the elevator opened I was shocked. I saw Baba, his hands in his pockets (instead of on her body), and looking away. Ota also looked frigtned, and if I was not mistaken, I saw the beginning of a black eye. Yes. Shocked was the right word.

It had been silent for a very long time. Not Not the good kind of silence. The bad, incredibly awkward kind of silence. I looked at the woman. She stared right back at me. I saw her ice blue eyes. It felt like They could see right through me, and read my soul. I did not know what to think about that.

I was the first one to break the silence.

"Why does Ota have a black eye? " I asked her, while folding my arms across my chest. I looked at her with my 'I am going to kill you' look. Oddly, it did not seem to have much effect. Well that's uncomfortable.

After an other silence she started talking. She talked in a cold bossy tone. "Because he deserved it " she scoffed.

I raised an eyebrow. She snorted at that, but continued. "He told me I was one" she held up a finger as if she wanted to show me "He called me poor, and two" another finger was added "He called me a dog" "you hit him, because he insulted you?"

She nodded. "I did." She looked around. "So this is the penthouse, huh?" She smiled. Her eyes didn't smile with her though. They looked at me as if she was going to kill me any second. Not that she could, I mean, she was a woman after all. "I'm actually quite jealous. This looks way better than the VIP suites."

I could only look at her as she went on. "By the way, who of you bought me?" She asked, making a small hand gesture to the rest of the guys. I noticed her voice sounded even more serious this time.

I also saw that she looked every one of the guys in the eyes, except for Soryu. "I did." She looked up. "Alright." She sighed. "How much?" That confused me. "What do you mean?" I snapped. She looked at my eyes once more, and gave me a look like i was an idiot. "I mean, how much do you want for letting me go?"

She is joking right? No way that she has that much money. No way I am letting her go. "I don't think you are in a position to negotiate. " I answered coldly.

She raised a brow. "I see." She said, presumably more to herself the to me. I felt an other silence coming up, so I asked her name.

She smirked at me. "Ask Soryu, over there. He can tell you."

Joy-Anne's pov

Hehe. Total panic in Soryu's eyes. I winked at him, while the man before me looked at Soryu.

This man was weird. He was cold, but not as cold as I was used to. He also had a weird kind of look in his eyes. Like total panic. The way Marc looked when I told him he had to ask a girl out. Total panic.

Soryu stared at me. He was probably thinking of ways to kill me hehe. I smirked at him.

The man that stood before me started speaking again. In Japanese this time. I guess he thought I wouldn't understand. "Sor, who the hell is this woman. She is not even Asian! How the hell do you know her?" I don't think other people would have noticed, but I heard it. The slight panic in his voice.

Soryu sighed and answered in English. "Eisuke, she speaks Japanese, so this is no use." I started enjoying these awkward silences. Hehe. I am too mean for this world. "Her name is Joy-Anne Writer. She is from a small country in Europe, and is connected to, let's just say anyone with power."

The man, clearly called Eisuke, turned around again. I secretly hoped he would say, whatever he wanted to say, in English. I still had a hard time with Japanese. But of course, he did not. "And why are you so well connected, Miss Writer? " He asked, clearly interested. Pff idiot. He should know who I am. Soryu is his funking friend. I have done business with Eisuke! How can he not remember the deal he made wit the European Ice Dragons? "None of your business. " I scoffed. Before he could ask any more questions I went on. "can I have my phone back by the way? I really need to make some phone calls" from the corner of my eye I saw Ota searching for my clutch, clearly afraid I would hit him again if he would not give it to me.

He found it and came running forward, but Eisuke stopped him. "Hell no woman!" He said. Pff. Don't hit him across the face Joy, don't do it. Don't kick I'm in the crotch. I held myself back. "You can't get your phone. Or purse for that matter" "clutch" "doesn't matter! I am not going to give it to you, when the first thing you will do is call the cops!"

Now he really pissed me off. "Idiot." I glared at him. Eisuke turned red and started to look very angry. "How dare you! Do you know who I am? I am-" I ignored him and went on, completely cutting him off. "Do you really think I want to call the police?" I held my hand in a phone gesture next to my ear. "Hello? Police? Yes, Hi. I just wanted to say that I was at an extremely illegal auction doing some business, when I knocked someone out. So ehm, I am in trouble now, please come rescue me." I folded my arms in front of me, like I always did when I was angry with Marc, and stared at Eisuke. "Now, that is a good idea isn't it?" I added sarcastically. Hehe. Total panic in his eyes.

Eisuke's body language said 'I am tough', but his eyes betrayed him. His eyes darted from my mouth, to my hair, to my eyes, to my dress, to my hands, to my earrings.

Total panic.

"Who do you want to call then?" He finally asked.

"Marc my s.." Shit. Ehm. "Assistant. If I don't call him every twelve hours, he comes looking for me, with the help of thirty armed men." Did he notice? He did not seem to notice. I don't think he noticed.

After, once again, a long silence, he spoke. "Okay. You can call this, what did you say?, Marc. But he goes on speakerphone, and if you do anything suspicious, I will let you pay for it." I nodded.

Ota silently handed my my clutch, and then backed off immediately. Tsk. I dialed Marc his cellphone and put it on speaker. "Hey, it's Marc" "Hey Mark, it's Joy-Anne. " I started, hoping he would remember that if I did not start a phone call with 'hey honey', something was up. "Hey boss, what can I do for ya?" Pfiew. I let out a breath I did not know I was holding. "Tell him to get some clothes together en put them outside your door." Eisuke said. I looked up at him, making my glare as deadly as possible. "Joy-Anne? " I heard Marc call. "Oh ehm yes. Sorry I got distracted. Get my travel suitcase and put it outside the door will you? I'll be gone for a few days. " I saw Eisuke raise an eyebrow. Again. That man should really learn that the effect wears off if you use it too often. "Oh, and please take care of Maya for me will you?" He said he would and hung up.

Once again thanks for reading :) I hope you enjoyed it.
