The Crystal Dragon (AkaNoYona fanfic)

Chapter 34

"How are the goods?"
"There are no problems." The guy who locks Yuriko, Yona and Yoon answer a guy who asked that.
"A short while ago, we got our hands on three that look like they'll fetch a really high price." The man continues, "Two of them are unusual girls, one with red hair, and the other one with grey hair."

"Oh..? Red and grey hair...? Well now, shall we got take a look?"

ー・・ー・ー・・ー ・ー・・ ー・ー・¬

"Get out." A man open the door in front of them then let Yuriko, Yona and Yoon get out from the cage they keep them in for a while.

The three of them stay silent in front of the door, looking at the other girls that have been captured. Almost every single one of them are trembling. Yuriko frown at the sight. 'How dare they.... So this is how they' ve been doing it... All this time.'

Since the three of them didn't move, the guy who let them out push them so they would get into the room, and the one who get pushed hard was Yona, she stumbled down, as she fall, she immediately groan while holding her left ankle. "Ow..."

"Ojou... Rina-sama. Are you alright?" Yuriko asked her, then checked the ankle she hold, "It's sprained. You must have hurt it when we fell."

'At a time like this! Given these circumstances, can we carry it out exactly as planned...? If we fail here...' Yona frown at her injured ankle with these thought.

Before they can say or do anything else, a man's voice can be heard from the door.
"Ku ku ku." This makes everyone turn their head at that man.
"It was a better catch than I thought. Awa isn't half bad, either."

'.... Yang Kum-Ji.... He come around this quckly.... That man must say something to him.' Yuriko glance at the man that lead them to the room at the first time.

"Lord Kum-Ji, what is going on? I heard I could find a job here..." A girl that has been captured asked in tears.
"Kukuku... There is a job. A very important job. You all need to wait here until tomorrow night." Yang Kum-Ji said it with a cocky grin.

"Yuriko, Yona. Lie low. Stay calm now." Yoon whisper to them softly.
But as soon as he say that, Yang Kum-Ji suddenly yank Yona's hair.
"!" Yona, Yuriko and Yoon obviously surprised by the sudden action.

"Red hair... I see. How very unusual." Yang Kum-Ji says as he smirk.
"Ngh..." Yona groan in pain, then Kum-Ji glance at Yuriko, who's been trying to hold her bloodlust in form the first time Yona's hurt.

He then release Yona, and walk to Yuriko. He then lift her chin up forcefully, making Yuriko wince a little, "A grey hair. This is also very unusual. Kukuku... Even with this veil on her face is beautiful. She'll sell high. No.... It would almost be a shame if I sold her. They wouldn't mind if I took... Just one to be mine, would they?" This makes Yoon look digusted at behind.

"I-I can do better! I can satisfy you better than that woman, Lord Kum-Ji." Yoon suddenly stand up and say this, making Yuriko immediately turn her head at him, 'Aaaaarrrgh! What the hell am I saying?!' He's panicking on the inside.
"Oh?"
"So drop that girl and let me be beside you ♡" He said in flirty tone and a confident smile.

'No, no! Who are you?! If he finds out I'm a guy, I'll be killed in an instant!' He then remembered Hak's face. 'But... I made a promise... So I'll protect Yona and Yuriko. I... Won't let Yuriko keep protecting me forever.'

"... You're right. You're quite a fine jewel, too." Kum-Ji release Yuriko's face, then walk to Yoon, "But–" He then suddenly kicks him hard, making Yoon falls back and coughing while holding his chest, the part where he got kicked. "Yo-!" Yuriko almost calls his name when she saw this, but she remember she should stay silent, so she grit her teeth hard.
"Don't interrupt me when I'm having my fun. I despise women who are impudent." He then grabs Yuriko's hair, making her stand up, but not fully.
