Into The Rose Garden (Seidou x Kanae/Karren)

Chapter Eight - Preparation

"Wow, I can't believe my own eyes, a half-breed! I thought they were works of fiction!" The male ghoul, Uta, scoffs. "Yeah yeah, just help us rank him." The female ghoul smirks down on the male lying down on his side. "Certainly~!"

Turning him over with her foot, she tilts her head. "Well he's quite handsome, adorable too~! He's got the right amount of muscles without being too beefy, or slim! Which makes him perfect as some kind of sex slave~! Or simply, the right texture to eat him in. Though, he looks as if he hasn't eaten in a while, so whoever buys him has to consider feeding him..."

The female touches the male's exposed skin, his stomach was smooth and soft but firm. "Hmm... Oh my, I like his skin~! Can I buy him~?" "Koko, this is serious! What do you think his estimated price is?!" 

The female sighed. "You're no fun~..." She pouted. "Let's see, his eyes are pretty wide, and his face and hair are fairly symmetrical; that's a good quality to have in a human pet." "Should we really be calling him that, I mean he's..." "Of course we should! He's a two in one! Or so... I mean honestly, there are so many options to go with here for him. He could be a meal, a bodyguard..."

She turns to Seidou. "Hey, you can fight right?" The male softly nods and she continues. "A sex slave, for male or female, dom or sub~!" "Does...he really swing that way...?" She scoffs.

"Does that matter?! He would be a sex slave, his preferences aren't relevant!" Seidou jolts up. "Wait-!" She kicks him playfully back down. "Quiet you!" She changes the subject. "And of course...a pet! I mean, look at those eyes~! And his hair, you can stroke it and pet him all day! Although...the white streak lowers that feature a bit. Looks kind of cool though." One of the other males rolls his eyes.

"Let's see... Add in all of that, and his status as a half-breed, which is a huge bonus. I would say he could start off at... 5 million yen!" One of the henchmen's eyes widen. "Whoa! That much is the start off?! Imagine what it could finish up as! You're getting a fortune Uta!" The male scoffed. "What do you mean 'I am'? We're in this together! We'll split up what we can. But first..." 

Uta walks up to Seidou and grabs him by the wrist, causing him to yelp in pain. "We should get him ready..."

And so, Seidou was then stripped down and washed over with ice cold water through a hose. One of the helpers scoffs. "Huh, weird..." "What is it?" The male shrugs. "Well, I'm just a little surprised by this one. Like, when we were removing his clothes for this, he almost acted as if it was...some kind of routine."

The other male chuckles. "That's good, isn't it? It makes it easier on the buyer." "Well sure, but...where in the world did he...?" The other male sighs and lays his hand on his bro's shoulder, with Seidou still sitting there silently getting hosed down.

"Listen man, sometimes you can't know about what happens to someone or something, and sometimes...it doesn't matter. This is none of our business anyway!" "I...I guess you're right. Yeah, you're right. I just can't help but think, you know?"

The other male scoffs. "Yeah, well whatever. Let's hurry up already, this is starting to make me feel a little uncomfortable..." 'Make you feel uncomfortable?' Seidou thought to himself.

Soon enough, the cleaning process is finished and Seidou is handed a new change of clothes. It wasn't anything special, in fact it was a lot like his older clothes, only...a lot cleaner.

Uta comes by. "There you are, come on I'll take you to your room." "Alright..." The male complied and walked over.

"Listen, there are some things you must follow when it comes to the auction. One, remain silent. I can't tell you how many times a human begged and cried on stage, so I wouldn't be completely stunned if you chose to make a ruckus. Two, try...looking a little nice. If you can't smile, than try posing or something. And lastly, once you're bought, actually try respecting your owner."

Seidou gulped down and nodded. "I-I...I guess I could..." "Well, I appreciate your lack of reluctance. That really makes things easier."

Seidou just stayed silent. What else was he supposed to do? His one chance of freedom was taken from him, and all because of a stupid wave.

His best outcome from this was that they just killed and ate him swiftly, not even considering the possibility that monsters like ghouls have the capability to show mercy, and it was very unlikely that he could become a bodyguard or even a pet.

The male sighed, looking down on the floor and thought to himself. 'What have I gotten into this time...?'
