The two teams that were to scope out the places were decided early in the morning. The Kyoto team with Yukio and Shiemi were to take the abandoned place while Masami, Etsuya, Izumo, Takara and Shura were to take the night club. Their only mission was to watch and observe, no engaging no matter what. They would get swarmed and then captured themselves if they interfered. That was what they promised as they went out and split up. 

It was late at night when they left the hotel. Yukio’s team ended up finding a good building with the perfect roof to camp out on, perfect to see what was going on from afar. Shura’s group found a good street corner that was both hidden yet in perfect view to see any suspicious activity. At first, nothing happened, but as the night progressed, Shura’s group noticed the night club’s music getting louder as people stumbled in and out drunk. It looked like a normal night club and Shura’s group was growing bored watching others have fun. 

Yukio’s team on the other hand was having the opposite effect. They were watching as shady people in suits were filtering in secretly through a back entrance, some of them carrying gurneys with hidden boxes on them. They were certain they caught the place that they needed, but before they could call the others, they needed more proof. A few hours passed with the same things happening, though it got increasingly worse the  more the night stretched. Around 1:30, they spotted who they wanted to see. 

Alistair stepped out of a limo in a lime green suit, his usually crazy hair slicked back with gel. He fixed his suit, looking around before his head stopped upon a beefier man in a grey suit, his curly hair slicked back and his muscles defined against the tight suit. He didn’t have a demon vibe to him which the group found a little unsettling. 

They exchanged a few words, Yukio wishing they were closer to the ground so that he could hear the conversation. They didn’t have to guess what was being said when Alistair pointed back at his limo with a content smile on his face. They watched as the limo driver opened the other door and bent down, grabbed something and pulled. They watched as the man yanked on a chain before the driver bent back in and tousled with something before he reappeared with someone in his arms. To their surprise it was Rin. 

He was in a white kimono, chains on his neck, legs and hands as well as his hair in a pointy tail behind him, though his hair looked like it was going to fall out since it wasn’t long enough to sustain a pointy tail for long. 

“Is that… Rin? What are they doing with him?” Shiemi asked. 

They watched as the man brought Rin to Alistair, stopping shy of the both of them. Alistair seemed pleased and they could tell Rin looked angry but according to his position, they could only assume he wasn’t able to say anything. Alistair walked over to him and pointed at Rin, his mouth moving but they couldn’t hear. 

The beefier man walked closer to Rin, looking intrigued, nodding at Alistair. That made Alistair jump with happiness, snapping his fingers. The driver turned back around and helped Rin back in the car before closing the door. Alistair bowed at the man before turning on his heel and getting in the car, closing the door. After a moment, the limo drove out of the parking lot before turning onto the main street. 

“Well that was.. Interesting.” Shima spoke, awkwardly scratching the back of his head. “What do you think that whole exchange was about?” 

“It was pretty obvious. He was letting them check out the merchandise.” Yukio said through gritted teeth. He was so disgusted and angry he couldn’t think at the moment. No one moved from their posts as they watched more people like Alistair presenting other ones that seemed to have the same features as Rin. Once the whole thing was done, it was nearly six in the morning and the last of the person had left, leaving the place completely abandoned. 

Yukio sighed. “Alright, now that we have confirmation, We need to head back and talk to the group.” Yukio explained, standing up to stretch. He looked over at the building, taking it in once more before heading to the rooftop door. The others shared a look before following as well. They had a lot to talk about, and now that they feasted their eyes on Rin, they felt the fire of determination light in their hearts.

Back with Alistair, Rin was carried back to his cage, practically thrown back in and hooked back to the cage. Rin growled, but the man only laughed. “Son of Satan my ass, such a weak little thing.” He mocked before walking away from the cage. Rin groaned, pulling himself together as he struggled into a sitting position. He spotted Rikyu leaning on the corner of his cage, a smirk present on his face as he watched Rin struggle. 

“Don’t you have something else to gawk at?” Rin mumbled. 

Rikyu shrugged. “Since we are the only ones close to each other in a cage with nothing but white and green walls to stare at all day I would say no. You are my only source of entertainment and if that entertainment is you struggling to sit up then so be it.” Rikyu chuckled. 

Rin stuck his tongue out at him before he finally situated himself comfortably on the cage bars. He collapsed against them, releasing a sigh of breath. “Glad someone is enjoying this.” He explained. 

Rikyu started fingering the gold chain on his hair, before looking side eyed at Rin. “So where did they take you?” 

Rin sighed, looking up at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling a few feet away from his cage. “He took me to the rendezvous point. It was basically a “check out what I caught” meet.” He explained. Rin knitted his eyebrows, deciding to bring up his concern from earlier. “I did feel my younger brother nearby the place. Was this what you meant when you said I could feel presence?” 

Rikyu snorted, sending Rin his infamous side smile. “No, I think that was just your freaky twin super powers. That ability only works on Demons. Unless you forgot to mention that your brother is a demon then yes it was what I was talking about.” 

“Yukio is not a demon. So it must be the twin powers.” They both started laughing, but it didn’t last long when the door opened to reveal Alistair. He was in a hot pink suit this time, his hair back to its crazy self. 

“Glad to see my favorite merchandise is getting along.” He walked in, stepping in front of Rikyu’s cage, leaning in the bars. “Its always nice to have buddies.”

“What do you want now, Alistair?” Rikyu snapped. 

Alistair clicked his tongue, looking mildly offended. “Now, now pet. Don’t speak to me in that tone of voice.” Alistair stepped away from the cage, walking over to Rin. Alistair was gliding his fingers along the bars making it even more intimidating as he came to a stop next to Rin. “I already have buyers lined up for you. I think the auction will take place earlier. Don’t want to keep them waiting.” He whispers, his eyes glowing at the last sentence that it actually made Rin shiver. He felt powerless in this position and the thought of being sold to some privileged dipshit as a play toy made him want to gag. 

“Won’t you want to make them wait? You may get higher offers from people who don’t want to wait.” Rikyu shot in, grabbing Alistair’s attention. 

Alistair glanced over at him with a wicked grin, his fangs growing slightly. “I didn’t even think about that. You seem to know how these people work, don’t you, Takai.” Alistair stepped away from Rin’s cage, before turning towards Rikyu once again. “It's almost like you've done this before. Don’t worry though, we will find you a new master.” His voice leaked with Venom as he walked away from  both of their cages. He stopped at the door. “A week. I'm changing it to a week instead of two. Pray your friends find you, but this place is soundproof. Your prayers will only fall on deaf ears.” Alistair laughed as he left the room. Once the door closed, the only thing in the room was the laughter bouncing off the walls before eerie silence.
