[-][L-N+][P-1x1] Going Once, Going Twice, Sold! (Taken)

[BrokenScreamBox]

Shan burst through the doors, tripping over his feet as soon as he entered. He was breathing heavily from running and worrying, and he was sure that he had probably crashed into a few working slaves. Hopefully none of them were holding anything breakable, or by now they would be broken.

Nervously, Shan looked up and saw the master. If he didn't know better, he'd say that the older was irritated, and it was most likely so. Shan would have apologized right then, but he's a slave in the presence of his owner, so he just held his tongue.

When the boy burst into the door, Kanda looked up as the scowl on his face went deeper. He put his book down as he stared at the boy. "you late.." He said through gritted tetth as he tched.

He then got up and stood over the boy as he glared at Shan. "Do you know the time by any chance?" He asked but didn't wait for an answer as he went on talking. "Its five minutes past 9." HE said as he looked at the time then at Shan. "Comments?"  

[BrokenScreamBox]

"I... have no comments," Shan said, staring at the ground to keep from looking at the master's obviously annoyed face. "I just lost track of time." He didn't want to let the master know the reason to his being late. He had already disobeyed the master once, which he was keeping secret, but now was the second time.

He tried to keep from shaking, but the ominous aura brought great fear to him and so he trembled under the terrifying look of his master.  

[blessedheart]

Kanda tched again as he furrowed his eyebrows. "Get up." He said to the boy as he backed away and headed to a draw by the desk. "My orders for you were to eat then come straight here. I did NOT tell you to dilly dally." He said as he picked up something from underneath the desk. "Now you must pay the punishment."

He brought up his hand and in it was a paddle. He then went back to the boy and stood behinf him. "Remove your shirt." He said as he waited.  

[BrokenScreamBox]

"Yes sir," Shan said and he hesitantly did as ordered. He dropped his tattered shirt on the ground, looking behind him in fear. Seeing the paddle in his master's hands, he averted his gaze away from it and waited for a blow.

He trembled during the wait. He now wished he hadn't been so occupied in watching Nezushi. Now he was going to suffer a punishment, and on his first day as a slave to be exact.  

[BrokenScreamBox]

Eep!

Bleep

 

[blessedheart]

(Sorry>
Kanda waited as the boy too his shirt off. He then brought the paddle an inch from his back and hit the boy hard, leaving a red mark in his wake. He looked at the mark for a second then gave it the approval as he did it again.

He did this five times before he stopped. He put the paddle back where it was then looked at the boys back. It was very red and looked like it would hurt if he laid on it to sleep tonight. kanda then nodded his head again and stood in front of the boy as he looked at him. "Pick up your shirt." He said in a flat tone as he waited.  

[BrokenScreamBox]

(No worries)

There was the sudden, sharp wave of pain and Shan cried out, falling to his knees as if the feeling in his legs disappeared. Then there came another whack and he cried out again, and so on as there were others.

When the blows stopped, he was struggling to stay on his knees as his back seared with pain. He looked up at his master and waited for another order, which was to pick up his shirt. Shan went to do as told, but his limbs gave way and he collapsed completely to the floor.  

[blessedheart]

"Tch. Annoying." Kanda said as he went to the boy. He then grabbed his arm and pulled him up. He grabbed Shan's shirt off the ground and held it up for him to take it in his hand.

"Do NOT be late again." Kanda said as he furrowed his eyebrows. "If you are late again. I will double the paddling each time you are." He said threateningly in the boys ear. "Is that understood?" HE asked, a bit softer this time but with still the threat in it.  

[BrokenScreamBox]

Shan nodded fearfully at the threatening voice of his master and took the shirt from his hand, immediately putting it on. The cloth stung where it touched his impacted skin, but he knew he had to ignore it. The master probably would thiink it annoying if he didn't take the pain with a stoic behavior.

He was sure that he wouldn't be able to sleep comfortably tonight, since he could only sleep on his back. Well, it was better than not being able to sleep at all, right?  

[blessedheart]

"Good. Now go to sleep." Kanda said as he let go of the boy. "Tomorrow, you will help the other slaves make the breakfast." Kanda said as he yawned. He felt tired now and wanted to go to bed.

"You may go." he said as he yawned again. He then left the boy in the study and went to his bedroom to get ready for some sleep that he needed.  

[BrokenScreamBox]

Shan didn't really leave once the master left the study. Instead, he picked up a nearby book and began to read it. He was sure that whatever he was doing was wrong, but shouldn't everyone at least have a right to read?

Slowly, and quietly, he sat down on a nearby chair, which happened to be the master's chair, but he didn't pay much mind to it. He was so engulfed in the book. Coincidentally, the book was about a slave, but his owner was a kind person. It was actually hard to believe, but there had to be at least one kind slave owner in the world, right?  

[blessedheart]

Kanda entered his room as he sighed. He closed the door then sat back on it as he rubbed his temple in thought. "Why did I buy that boy..?" He asked himself as he sighed again. It wasn't like him to act on his emotions..He was always told by his father to plan and strategize. But here he was, with a slave he bought that has only been an annoyance to him so far.

Kanda stopped rubbing his temple as he opened his eyes. He sighed once again as he took off his clothes and dressed in some sweats. He was not one to sleep in a shirt since it bothered him to. He laid down in the bed and turned off the lights and thought of the boy. 'I could have punished him much worse as my father did to the other slaves...and yet I didn't..' He thought and wondered why he held back for Shan as he slowly started to fall asleep until he was out for the count.  

[BrokenScreamBox]

Shan found himself speeding his way through the book and before he knew it he was finished. It felt nice to be able to leave the real world once in a while. It actually made him believe that he was still somebody, not a slave that was owned by an apparently cruel master.

He was soon getting up from the chair and picking up as many books as he could find. He didn't know why, but he seemed overcome with the need to escape reality. The pain on his back seemed to have disappeared as he opened each book and took a peek at the imaginary world within. Before long, his eyelids began to close while he was in the middle of the book, and he fell asleep.  

[blessedheart]

Kanda was waken up by the birds chirping outside his window and opened his eyes slowly. He no longer felt tired since he least slept better than the night before when he had that throbbing headache he got from his mother.

He got out of bed and got dressed for the day; he wore jeans and a button down shirt. When he was dressed, he headed into the study to get a book to read unti breakfast was ready. He was expecting nothing to be in there like it always was...but instead he found Shan sleeping in there with a book open. HE blinked as he stared at the boy. After awhile, his eyes grew in annoyance as he went up to the boy and shook him lightly. "Oi." He said as he waited.
