(Sorry it took so long I've bean really busy lately^^)

Sonzo wondered into the slave market not expecting much out of the dump as for the fact he had cot wind of a young girl who's owner would soon kill her if she was not sold. It had bean a few days that he had herd the roomer so he doubted that if it was Suki that she was still alive now. The screams of pain from the slaves mad him wonder why he always looked if he knew that the box that he had given her had never bean opened. Son looked threw each individual cage until a merchant came up to him and requested what he was looking for and if he could be of assistance. "Yes, I am looking for a young slave girl by the name of ,Suki Kazuno, might she still be here?" Sonzo asked as his eyes scanned across the cages once more with unsatisfying results. "Yes I believe she was just sold to a young woman in her twenty's by the name of, Hazel, I believe." The merchant said and Son nodded. "Might you by chance know if she is still present here?" he asked finally looking at the man standing before him. "Yes I believe they are over there." The merchant said pointing in the direction of the small group. Son nodded and started walking in the same direction as he was instructed. As he approached the small group close to a young girls cage that had the name of ,Memedorei Kou, on the tag that he could clearly see, he still wondered if this could be the woman who now owned his little sister. He soon noticed a woman who seemed to be a master who he assumed to be Hazel and then another young girl that he didn't quite recognize to be his little sister.

A little tourist party came up towards her cage as after they had left a boy who was beaten in his cage. There was only empty space between him and herself. "Now this is the only shadow demon we have, captured while she was walking along the streets. A street urchan we helped off the streets. You see? We can be kind as well by giving street urhcans homes" The woman said while the people stared at her. They smiled at her nodding their heads as if they got the point.

"Ill show you what kindness is went? Just take these chains off and well see who can win a battle." The people gasped as she spoke. She glared at all of them as she grabbed her chains showing the woman she was dead serious. The woman cleared her throat and looked at the group. "Some of them are a little ungrateful for it but they learn later on."

"Learn by what whips, chains and collars? Your a lying B****." Cora said. The woman glared at her with unyeilding eyes as if she were going to teach Cora a lesson. The group that was with her just stared as if they were bewildered that a slave talked back to its master. The woman led the group away and a bunch of the men that had taken her before unlocked her cage and walked in. Another grabbed the chain that connected to her collar and pulled it back behind the bars. She grabbed the collar to protect herself from choking and started fighting off the others who were coming after her with her feet. They eventually got her down and whipped her until she couldnt move. They had her arms suspended in opposite directions as they whipped her saying that this should teach her a lesson. She tried hard not to scream, so as to not give them the satisfaction of winning. The men got angry and just left to cool off. They had done enough damage to her. If they did too much then she wouldnt be sold. Her arms were released and she fell the the ground. Tears starte flowing out of her from the pain but they werent of sorrow. She had no time to be sorry. No they were from anger and she wanted to make these people pay. Whether by disrupting the tours or trying her best not to give in to the pain, she was going to fight as long as possible.

Alice gently nodded her head and glanced back at Dia, just to make sure that she was still alright. "Yes I think that would be a wonderful idea. Then I can treat some of those wounds. For that I'll probably require a bit of help from you too Mjrn so that it'll be over as quick as it can, since I'm sure it'll probably sting a bit Are you sure you'll be alright to walk?" the rabbit demon said gently as she first looked at fairyfly and then to the young fox girl. She really didn't want Dia to be in pain from her wounds, and she knew first hand that even cleaning or touching certain wounds could and would hurt, which is why she figured with Mjrn's help they'd be able to get the fox girl through it was quickly as possible.

Raven's attention was soon turned to the two slaves that had just been disciplined not too far from each other. He could both understand and yet couldn't why some slaves chose to rebel and go through such pains. His golden gaze drifted for a moment to his Mistress, noticing a new man had approached them, before returning to the two slaves although still keeping a close watch on the man. He didn't wish harm to come to his Mistress or Suki and if he made a wrong move...

Well he hadn't yet so there was no point in him dwelling on what he would do. Instead he calmly approached and knelt down before the cage of the female. Calmly he reached within his coat to withdraw a white handkerchief and gently offered it to her. He knew there wasn't really much he could do for her wounds since she was in a cage still, but he figured perhaps if she could move her arms a bit still she could at least wipe away her tears. "You know the more you resist the harder and more brutal they'll get. Eventually they may make a reason for you not to be sold and eventually just kill you under that pretense..." he said gently as he glanced over at the male slave and then back at the female.

Hazel noticed a shadow over her and turned around to look at a the man who seemed about her age. She stood so she was almost as tall as him and smiled slightly. "Hello. Can I help you with anything. Are you looking for someone?" Hazel asked quietly. It was strange, she hadn't ever seen this man before and normally you would have seen everyone somewhere even if you hadn't talked to them. At least that's what she found normal....but maybe that was just her and really she hadn't met as many people as she thought she met. Not that it really mattered.

"Yes... Your name is Hazel right?" Son said with a respectful bow. Suki turned when she no longer felt Hazel sitting by her side. She turned so she was facing Sonzo though nether of them recognized each other. Suki stayed close to her mistress though at the same time slightly behind her somewhat hiding herself from the unfamiliar man that stood before them.

"Hey! Stop it! Leave her alone!" Yelled Alexander, leaping up, ignoring the stinging in his back from his previous injury, angered by the men ganging up on and beating a slave girl in the cage next to him. He reached through the bars and grabbed the back of one of the men's shirts, yanking him back. One of the other guys smacked Alexander's hand away and punched him right in the gut, knocking the wind out of him. Alexander fell down to his knees, hugging himself around the middle and leaning against the bars between the two cages. He grit his teeth, catching his breath as a man came up to the cages and handed the female slave a handkerchief. Alexander eyed the man warily, and looked over at the woman. He would have asked her if she was alright, but he figured that that was a bit of a stupid question to ask, considering she had just been beaten.

Cora took the kercheif and wiped her eyes. She had only the tears and the pain for which she held with a little bit of pride. She handed it back to him. "I know.. and sooner or later ill break but i dont want it to be easy... No not for these kidnappers. as long as i give them bruises back im happy." She said feebly as she pushed herself off the ground still in pain. She leaned herself up against the bars there with one leg outstretched and the other bent like she normally did. She looked at the man in the cage next to her. He had been telling the men to stop beating her which she appreciated. "But thank you for the handkercheif...." She just stared at the guy who was in the cage next to her as if to say thank you to him as well.

Alexander's blue-violet eyes met the girl's for a brief moment, and he nodded, seeing the thanks in her eyes. He looked away, blushing lightly - as the girl was quite attractive - and continued to lean against the bars, wincing slightly as the large X-shape cut on his back bled. Alexander could feel the blood slowly trickle down his back at the same time that his healing abilities as a shape-shifter began kicking in. Even though he would probably be healed in a few hours, it would leave a permanent and rather nasty scar. Alexander's gaze directed itself and hardened at the male still standing outside of his neighbor's cage.

Cora caught the glance of the man who was in the cage next to her. She blushed as well for he was guite hot himself. Even with the scarred back that seemed to be healing itself, he looked even hotter. She had to turn away as her own shadow magic healed her up. That was just what it did, it wasnt her doing it but the shadow part of herself. There wouldnt be a scar unless she had been hit in the same place more than just a couple times. Lucky for her the men had wanted to make her get maximum punishment and pain so they would whip her in so many different places. The only problem was her clothing. She only had the cloth that wrapped itself around her chest and part of her back in order to keep her chest completely covered. They always seemed to miss that for some reason. Maybe it was because they liked it on her in the first place. They would always whip the lower back for her or even her shoulders. There was no need for her to have clothes if they were going to get ruined like they did. Or at least thats what the people had thought when they found out that she would fight back. All she was wearing was a pair of work pants and the wrap around her chest. She looked back up at the man who was in between the cages. "Anyways. You speak as if you know what we're going through but you dont have any chains on you. Are you a bought slave yourself?"

(Now we wait for Dino to respond so that the trip to Alice's house can be made. XD)

Raven gently took back the handkerchief when it was handed back to him and returned it to its place within his coat. Out of the corner of his golden eyes he caught sight of the look he was receiving from the other male slave, but chose not to worry about it too much. After all who could really blame him? There was a strange male here that held no chains, a group of people gawking at others, and the handlers who beat the disobedient ones so there was really no way to tell that he was a slave that was just sold. "I see so for freedom you'd rather it be a challenge? I suppose that could be understandable, although you'll want to be careful how you go about it. Their bruises won't amount to much if your the one that ends up dead as they'll eventually give up trying to break you and deem you unsaleable" he said calmly. He wasn't wishing to tell her how to be, merely just wanting to perhaps make things easier for her and maybe even the other male if he chose to listen.

At the woman's question the raven demon calmly nodded. "Yes the Mistress Hazel over there chose to purchase me despite my lack of chains" he explained and gently motioned towards the woman whom was his Mistress. He could see that she was now conversing lightly with the other male, though he still chose to keep a careful watch on him.

"Id rather give them bad buisness and show the slave owners that arnt worthy of being bought from." Cora put it in her voice that she had understood the male as he spoke. He had a master. He was just sold as he had just said. But why did he not have chains like the others? Like herself? They had put the chains on Cora because of her obsession with using her powers to escape this place. She had done it a couple times before the chains absorbed her attempts. This had gone on for as long as she had been in there. At least from what she had remembered. "What would one that has no chains but serves a master freely know about this kind of pain?" She asked as she turned away from the man. It was hard to believe that she had asked the question but it was legitament. Had this man even known what freedom was like? What not having to bend you will for anothers pleasure was like? She stared at the cieling. I had freedom once and they took that away. Im just trying to get it back without a price to pay for it. Even if that means death to me and their buisness. At least ill be at peace. She had thought to herself many times on this matter but it was slowly breaking day by day. Every day that she was tortured, she broke the vow she kept reciting in her head.

((^--- Ish being really emo lmao))

(I is board, broadway_princessxo34 hasn't replied and I can't until she does ><* GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR I hate waiting XP)

((Lol thats ok.... Im waiting for all of my rps including this one so i feel your pain lol))

(LOL oks ^^)

(Lol I'm replying as fast as I can, though one character on here that I have is on hold until Dino replies that way I don't powerplay her character in a sense. XD)

Raven cocked his head to one side slightly as she spoke. "Ah but if they are given bad business here then there's a chance that all the slaves you see in cages could very well be put to their deaths as well. A slave owner without business has no business keeping slaves alive. It's just merely a thought though" he said calmly with a shrug. He took another quick glance back to ensure that his Mistress was still alright before returning his golden gaze to the female slave. "I can admit I know nothing of the pain you speak first hand, merely from what I've observed of others who choose to rebel. The chains you wear I've only worn when it is desired for me to wear them" he said simply as his wings slowly wrapped themselves around his shoulders.

Raven was born into servitude and it was what he knew. There were times he didn't understand why some slaves chose to fight and harm themselves in the process. 'After all aren't we technically born to take our own well being first?' he thought calmly to himself. He would be as his master or mistress wanted him to be and he never really questioned it. He knew though that one whom was not born in the same environment as he wouldn't understand nor could he understand them. Though instead of trying to fight about which was right or wrong he would instead try and learn their side while telling of his own.

(Sorry. DON'T KILL ME!)

"Yes I'm Hazel. Who are you? Can I help you with anything?" She asked looking him over. He wasn't a slave but he didn't seem like a master. Hazel put a hand on Suki's arm hoping she would become less shy and glanced over to Raven. She didn't know this man and trusted if anthing happened Raven could help.

(Lol don't worry we won't kill you. XD)

(YET! MMMMMMMMMMWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA! ROTFLMAO! LOL! HEHE! HO HO! HA! ^^)
Suki looked up at Hazel sheepishly and then looked back to the boy. "Did you happen to have purchase a young girl by the name of Suki Kazuno?" Son asked hoping the merchant was right. "I'm Suki Kazuno." Suki said finally stepping out from behind Hazel hessitantly.

((ACK... Not fair not fair not fair.... I got writers block for this rp... Lets see what i can come up with while having writers block))

Cora looked up at the man. "The buisness would go out and the slaves would go to another trade so that the man who runs this place stays rich. Thats how i figure it but you may have a point. Im not just going to run and hide in a corner for someone to choose me. Id rather fight for my freedom even if i dont get it. I know whats out there and thats what im aiming for." She said a she stood up to the man. "to tell the truth, I feel sorry for people like you who are happy to be serving others like this. You were born into this, but the people i feel even more for are those who were taken from their families in the dead of night, walking home, only to become a slave and never see them again. To be suppressed by chains if they have powers just because the trade can use them to escape or even make more money for the person buying them. Those who cant do what they once did before all the cages and torture... and servitude."

Cora paused for a breif moment then sighed. "Thats why i fight. Because i dont want to be the one that turned into a slave when i was doing was walking home from my job." She turned away from him and sat down again. It was hard to believe that she had said all of what she had said with a calm voice. That calm voice was what scared her. Was it being a rebel against the actions that had made her speak of the slave trade with a voice as calm as the sea on a sunny day? Or was it that she truly believed the words of a person that refused to break but was breaking anyways? The feeling was shaking her bones. She had been here too long. It was getting to her.

((wow i wrote alot for having writers block... ?.?))

"And again I ask, Who are you?" Hazel said keeping a hand on Suki. It was kind of strange a random person popped up and asked for Suki...Don't you think?

(I have to go. It's 11 p.m. So I'll post tomorrow. Are you gonna kill me now?)
