BANG BANG!!! The hammering of the hammer was heard over the yammering over the people in the court.
“SILENCE! The court is now in session. The person considered guilty is the man right there.” The judge’s brown eyes stared at the man that stood in front of him. He man stood, but the man was inside a cage. The cage was made out of the hardest of metals. Made for demons it was, and indeed a dangerous demon was kept inside the cage. The cage had pointed sharp dagger like things pointing inward at the demon, so if the demon made a move the daggers would go right through his body and kill him instantly.
“A mass murderer lies in front of us all. He has killed five large villages, equaling to him killing one thousand, one hundred, and thirty two people including the old, woman, and children. This man has a bounty of two million on his head right now. We are lucky that he was actually caught. Today, here and now, this hideous beast will be brought to justice. What do you say we do?” The judge said aloud, to all his companions around him.
The man inside the cage could hardly be called a demon. He was tall, six foot tall to be exact. He had a slim build that was slightly muscular. His hair was silky and black, ebony bangs covered one side of his face. The one side of his face that shone had a blood red colored eye. The eye was filled with sadness and hopelessness. His skin was pale, and nearly an ivory color. It gave off a beautiful glow in the dim light of the room, making it seem as if he took very good care of his skin. It gave him the appearance of an angel, in fact he would have looked like an angel without wings if it wasn’t for his ear and tail. On top of his head, two black wolf ears stood up on end. A silver chain like earring with a blue orb dangling from it hung from his left wolf ear. His wolf tail was furry and black; it was tucked in between his legs. The mans’ name is Prince, the famed user of roses. He felt very uncomfortable right now, especially with the cold dagger points so close to his face that he could feel the metal pressing against him in the most unusual places. He wore baggy black pants that were held up by two leather belts on each side of his pants. He was bare footed, they had taken off his boots for they had thought that the heavy boots could be used as a “weapon.” They had also taken off his jacket, for the guards said the spikes on the cuff of the jacket could “kill” someone. All that Prince had left was his netted top that only covered his chest. He felt stark naked, with every human in the room staring at him with piercing accusing eyes. Prince knew that they were going to kill him. He, after all, did deserve to die.
Even though he knew he was, a cold hand gripped his heart. It made him so sad to even think about. He wouldn’t get to see anyone again, even though once they figured out that he was a murderer they would probably hate him forever. The one thing that killed him on the inside was how his lover would react when he found out what Prince was. He closed his eyes, trying hard to keep the tears in. Hiroko-kun. He had kept this horrible secret from Hiroko as long as he could, but now Hiroko knew. He did not get to see Hiroko’s reaction for he was already found by the bounty hunters. He had been taken away before the people told Hiroko the truth. Now that Hiroko knew what he was, it hurt him to think that Hiroko would never love him. That was what he thought. After all, if someone found out you were a mass murderer, who would love you?
It was true that Prince did murder many people, but it was a hundred years ago. The only reason he was here was because the one girl that he had left alive in a village decided to go and show the other bounty hunters that he was indeed a person that needed to be caught. Her whole life was filled with revenge. The girl wanted to place Prince in prison for he had killed her family. She had finally caught him, and now she would live a life filled with riches from the two million bounty that she would get for catching Prince.
“So! What should we do as punishment?” The judge roared.
“I say we hang him!” One man yelled. “No stone him to death!” Another man shouted. “No burn him on a cross!” One woman shrieked. “Drown him!” A person screamed.
“I SAY WE SELL HIM!!!” A voice roared above all others. Every other voice was immediately silenced. Prince’s red eye scanned the crowd of people, trying to find the voice that spoke. He finally found the person, and if he could move he would of taken a step back in disgust. The man that had said that was tall, but not as tall as Prince. The man wore an ugly pinstriped suit and a top hat. Not only that, but he was extremely fat. His nose was long and hooked, his eyes were black and small, giving the appearance that the man was always squinting. On the mans right eye was a monocle, the chain was made out of gold. Obviously the man had a lot of money. In the man’s gloved hands the man held a cane, while on one of the mans right hand fingers was a large ring with a ruby sitting upon it.
“I say we sell him.” The man said yet again. The judge gave the fat man a confused look.
“Sell him? To where? Ruben we should kill this murderer not sell hi-“ The fat man cut the judge off with a raised hand.
“Listen to me.” Ruben said sternly. “We indeed could sell him. He is very beautiful, I am sure my customers would take quite a liking to him. Even though it seems like an unjust punishment, my work place would set things right.”
“Your work place? Are you kidding us? This man deserves to-“ Again the voice in the crowd was interfered with a raised gloved hand.
“Do not fear, I know what is the best punishment for this beast. Do you know who I talked to about this hideous creation? I talked to this demon’s brother Xavin in person.”
Many gasps echoed throughout the large courtroom.
“Xavin...he’s Xavin’s brother. He talked to Xavin. Oh my, we really should listen to him. Hell knows what an acquaintance of Xavin could do.”
Ruben chuckled to himself.
“Yes yes. I know this beasts weak points. Just sell him to me and I will make sure he gets proper punishment.”
Prince’s eyes widened when he heard his brothers name spoken. His brother was the reason he had killed all those people. It was all his brothers damn fault. He frowned, baring his fangs in anger. His brother, this ugly man followed his brother! He would be sure to kill this man. He glared daggers at Ruben, as a growl started to well up from his throat.
“What kind of slavery is this Ruben?” The judge asked quite intrigued that a man who needed the death penalty could be taken into Ruben’s course of punishment instead.
Ruben let out a laugh. “A special kind. You may think that this slavery is nothing, but we grind down on the demons until they loose all hope. All they become are zombies that do whatever their master wishes. A complete pet. The job they do is strenuous and horrible, but they get use to it afterwards. It is called sex. This man will be sold to a sex slavery, my sex slavery. Soon he will be doing whatever I tell him to do, he will be the perfect slave. With a man like this, we will get tons of money.”
The judge stared at him in disbelief. “Nonsense! This man is a murderer! There is no way that what you say will work.”
“Yes it will. Xavin himself said it will. It will break down this poor demon to the very core.” Ruben answered.
Sex…what were these men talking about? Prince thought in his mind as his eye darted back and forth from the judge to the fat man.
“What is this “sex” you are talking about? Is it some kind of torturing device you are going to use against me and then kill me?” He asked confused. Everyone in the room burst out in nervous laughter.
“Hahaha. What a jokester. Yet think about this, Xavin himself said this was the best punishment for the demon. Xavin himself.” Ruben stated, his eyes glittered greedily as he thought about the new prize he was about to get. The judge thought for a moment.
“How are you sure that this…demon is good enough?” He asked raising an eyebrow.
“We shall see right now. This demon is hand cuffed right? Just take him out of the cage.”
“Take him out of the cage? Preposterous! What of his powers! He could kill us in a couple of seconds.”
“No. We have special weapons.” Ruben motioned with his hand to the guards. One guard carried a uniquely shaped thing in his hand, it was a stun gun. They the door, and pressed a button. Immediately the daggers retreated, allowing the guard to pull Prince out of the cage with the stun gun pressed against Prince’s back.
“One move and this will shock you hard. You will be immobilized for minutes on end.” The guard said as he led Prince to Ruben. Ruben was already near the cage, waiting for Prince. Prince did not answer. He had not clue what kind of weapon he had pressed against his back, but he thought best not to fight against it. Ruben was pulling his gloves tight on his hands. He had left his cane on the floor. The ring on his hand glittered. As Prince was brought up in front of Ruben, Ruben had to glance upwards for Ruben was short.
“Hmmm. His chest looks quite nice. Nothing wrong there.” He said as his eyes scanned Prince’s body. Prince would of wretched in disgust, but instead he decided it would be best to show no expression at all. Ruben nodded, and muttered a few words to himself.
“Alright. Hold him still. I’m going to have to check his crotch.” The man reached down. Prince’s wolf ears perked up his eyes widened.
“Wait…what are you doing! Stop! Don’t touch me!” He watched as the disgusting man’s hand drew nearer and nearer to his crotch, until he couldn’t take it anymore.
“ONLY HIROKO KUN CAN TOUCH ME THERE YOU ******** s**t!” Prince roared. A green vine came up from the ground and wrapped itself around the man’s hand and arm before it touched his private spot. He didn’t really know why he said that. Wasn’t it true that only people you loved were supposed to touch you there? That was what he read in his book. His brother had touched him in that spot before, he hated it but since his brother was his brother he was supposed to right? Hiroko-kun had never touched him there, but he wished he did. It felt as if it was… right? Well whatever it was, Prince wouldn’t mind it if Hiroko-kun touched him there at-
His mind’s thoughts were cut short with a loud crackling sound. The stun gun went off and hit him square in the back. His body convulsed, and fell to the floor immediately. The stench of burning skin filled the air. Prince gagged, his mind went blank. He saw nothing but blackness for a few seconds. Then he recovered, but he still couldn’t move.
What was this? His body was numb…he was scared. He couldn’t move, but he could see. The fat man’s arm was still stuck in the vine. A small grin spread across Prince’s lips. Heh heh. That man was stuck in his trap. The man struggled against the vine, but couldn’t get free. Prince watched for a few moments then felt the feeling start to return to his aching limbs. He heard voices screaming at him.
“Let go of him or else I’ll kill you! YOU DEMON! BEAST!” Insults swirled around him, but it didn’t matter anymore. He had the upper hand.
“You do anything to me and I’ll kill this man. I’ll tear off the fat man’s arm.” He said through chapped lips. He realized he was thirsty, but pushed that thought outside. He had to get out of here somehow, and run away. He used a small tiny vine that protruded out of the ground to start and pick the lock in his handcuffs. No one noticed for they were to busy screaming and panicking. A small click was heard as the handcuff lock came undone, and he made the vine slide back into the ground. Prince did not move. Instead, he closed his eyes, then suddenly let out a loud cry.
“HA!!!” He cried out, when suddenly out of the ground a bunch of thick vines came out of the ground, hitting the guards and random people in the stands causing them to go flying. Standing up, and throwing off the handcuffs on his hand, he broke in to a sprint.
“CATCH HIM!” He heard the fat man and the judge yell in unison. He continued to run, a smile formed on his face. If only…if only he could return and be with Hiroko-kun again. If only somehow he could explain that he had killed all those people a hundred years ago and had totally changed since then. If only he could tell Hiroko-kun that he loved him dearly and could live with Hiroko-kun for the rest of his life. He would be so happy, but he was sure that now Hiroko-kun would never accept him. A killer, a murderer, a beast, a demon. He could see the double doors in front of him, that was where the light shone, his freedom. The guards guarding the front door was sent flying by the vines that was conjured out of the ground by Prince. He used two vines to push the doors open.
He saw it, the bright light. He would be free! Suddenly there was a blur of red. He tried to slow down so that he could swerve around it, but the red blur was just too fast and he was just too slow. He collided with it head on. The thing he bounced into was soft, and took a step backwards as he rammed into it. The thing stopped him, and he fell backwards onto his rear end. Shaking his head, he glanced up at the thing that blotted out the light, his freedom. His hair was messed up from the running, showing both his eyes. Both his blood red eye and his emerald one with golden swirls widened to their largest extent.
The thing standing in front of him was better than any freedom or light he could wish for. The thing in front of him was even more beautiful then any god or goddess he had ever seen painted in children’s storybooks. The thing in front of him was better than the calm blue sky and the green grass that he loved to lay down on and watch the clouds pass by to pass time. The thing smelled better than any bloomed flower in the world. The thing had hair as red as the sunset, and a calm aura that surrounded him like a ever flowing river. The thing in front of him made his heart pump happily, yet also wrench in pain. It caused him to feel overjoyed, but afraid and worried at the same time. It caused his mouth to hang open in shock and disbelief, and caused his wolf tail to wag slightly and his ears to continuously swivel atop his head. The thing standing in front of him was a person, the thing in front of him was no one other than lovely Hiroko-kun himself.
