Kazuya walked around the crowd trying to find Selene and the others.
Where did you go? Maybe I should use my spirit magic? No
Then he felt a sense of great fear. He turned and saw Kerek.
"You. Your part of my yard."
Kazuya heart Selene, she was calling out for him. "Don't focus on her elf. Focus on me." He grabbed Kazuya.
"Where are you taking me asshole?"
"Shut up and follow what I say."
Kerek lead him to another gate and when inside he saw a bunch of slaves turn their head quickly in fear.
Some got on their knees others hid behind the tall grass. Kazuya looked at Kerek.
Who in the hell is this guy?
A guy in a simple white button shirt and black pants walked in from the field.
"Kerek!" The guy's hair was Black with purple streaks. His eyes were a very light purple.
"Pluto."
Pluto patted Kerek's shoulder.
"Long time no see"
"We saw each other a couple of minutes ago before I went to get this lump of shit."
Kazuya gritted his teeth
Pluto looked at Kazuya "A female elf, how old are you? Cause I'm pretty sure they develop a more mature body around 13, I could be wrong."
"It's 25, asshole. Elves age slower and I'm a male thank you."
Kerek walked up to Kazuya ready to hit him, but Pluto stopped him. "I got it wrong about his people that's my fault. Relax a little Kerek."
"I'm 3rd in command of the Stockyard. Don't tell me shit!"
Pluto smiled and pulled out a pair of sunglasses.
"What are those?" Kerek asked
"A seller called them Sunglasses they got them from this woman with purple eyes. They're pretty popular now along with these single edged curved swords called katanas."
Pluto smirked "Want one?" He asked playfully.
"No" Kerek walked on and Kazuya began after him.
Pluto stopped him "Hold on Bud, your with me. Boss man has some work to do."
Kazuya looked at Pluto "Who are you?"
"Hm? Didn't I just say, or is this one of those "other meaning" questions?" Pluto asked
"I'm asking, why are you the person to take me, he's the yard master."
"... Yeah he is, however I'm his right hand man." He patted Kazuya head "Don't worry I'm more nice than he is."
Like hell you are, I'm not dumb enough to believe that.
"So what are you? High or Low?"
"Half breed."
"Damn that's rare right?"
"Rare?"
"Yeah like to have a half breed, one usually dominates the other right?"
"... Yeah, it is Rare. Why are you so interested in elves?"
"I'm interested in everything. Because you can't experience everything or know everything, so why not just do as much as you can. I want to experience and know as much as possible before I die. That's my dream."
"Your too friendly for a yard assistant."
They began to walk down the path through the field.
"Ah shut up, I'm not that kinda am I?" He smiled softly.
"That wasn't a compliment."
"Oh... Jeez your cold. Well what's your name androgynous elf?"
"Kazuya"
"Ka-Zu-Ya. Nice name. Mind if I call ya Kazu?"
"No, it sounds like the old language for Female."
Pluto palmfaced himself "Right, I forgot my bad. Wait you know Coryzimian?"
Kazuya glared at Pluto "I only know a few words."
Pluto sighed "Are you always this guarded?"
"When I'm around suspicious guys, yeah."
"Suspicious? I'm suspicious... Hm no one's said that one before. "It's usually to kind", "A Wolf in sheep's clothing." Stuff like that... Oh I guess that last one is suspicious huh?"
"All of them were, because your suspicious."
Pluto laughed "Well that's too bad, it can't be helped."
A slave suddenly ran in from the gras and bombed into Kazuya.
It was an Elf, she has long cream colored hair and big light brown eyes. "Owwie!"
She looked at him whom she was on top of "mmmm are those elf ears?" She poked at his ears.
He blushed and moved her off of him.
"This is Seiya, she's a half breed too, her mana capacity is pretty huge however."
"Is yours?" Seiya asked.
Kazuya brushed himself off as he stood and stepped away from Seiya "Yeah, it is."
She looked at him "I wonder if all half elves do."
"I don't know" his expression already showed irritation.
Pluto smiled "It seems you two will get along great. I'll let you be."
They both watched him go. Seiya turned to Kazuya.
She wasn't that short, but compared to Kazuya, she was pretty small.
"How old are you?" Kazuya asked
"Me?" She looked around "I'm 14... Mhm mhm"
"You act like a child." He said simply meaning it to be an insult and an end to the conversation.
He walked away
Seiya grabbed his sleeve "Hold on mister. You never said your age or name! Unfair, Unfair! And why are you so frickin tall!"
"I'm 14, Kazuya... That it?" He tried wiggling his hand but her grip was to strong he just got more irritated.
He grabbed her hand and pulled it off of his sleeve the continued on walking a little faster this time.
She grabbed his leg and hugged it.
"Why are you so boring? And you are definitely not 14, you are almost the size of the grass!"
"You're really starting to piss me off" He lifted his leg and tried to get her of.
She squeezed harder.
"GET OFF OF ME YOU LEECH!!!"
"NO WE NEED A PROPER CONVERSATION!!!"
"DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT PROPER MEANS?!"
"YEAH IT'S WHEN YOU TALK TOGETHER AND NOT ONE SIDED!!!"
"NO IT'S WHEN WE BOTH RESPECT EACH OTHER'S BOUNDARIES AND UNDERSTAND WHEN ONE WANTS TO STOP IT!!! NOW GET OFF!!!"
With one last fling of his leg she flew off into the mud.
Her eyes teared up he palmfaced. "ARGHHH!!"
Just one thing after another, here I was thinking my 5 days would be just slavery, but now I see. This is going to be torture!
He picked up Seiya out of the mud.
"Stop crying darn it."
He put her down and brushed the mud off of her.
Cursing under his breath for even caring.
"Why do you want to talk to me so badly?"
"Because your the only half elf I've met. I've never met another. I know I can be a little hyperactive, but I can't help it."
Kazuya sighed "I'm sorry, I'm not really in the mood for making friends after all I'm a slave now."
"Then let me make it a good experience for you... I can guide you."
Kazuya sighed again and combed his hair with his fingers. "Fine, just tell me about that Kerek guy first."
Seiya nodded with a smile. "Then I get a conversation?"
Kazuya nodded.
"YAY!"
Well maybe this won't be too bad. I hope.
"Well for starters, Kerek is the Yard master of the Yard of fear and dominance. He wants everyone to listen to him and fear him. Make him mad or disrespect him you might not be able to walk or move, that is if he doesn't kill you. He knows the bone structure, so he knows how to make the body immobile."
"Kerek also has an ability called Beast. He basically gains the instincts, strength, and speed of an Elderwolf. So everyone makes sure to keep themselves in check around him."
"However lucky us he is usually busy with paperwork and family matters. So he's not around much. Pluto is however, no one really knows his ability or really who he is. He always changes his reasoning for everyone. For me he was curious about elves, but the reason is he wants to know about every race so that he won't be clueless while talking to slaves."
Kazuya thought about that Why would he change his reason? Unless he is lying? Even then why lie about your reason for talking to us?
"Is that all you'd like to know Kazuya?"
"Yeah... Where do we sleep."
Seiya giggled and gestured for him to follow her.
She lead him through the grass which he had to had to be whacked by unlike her who could move a little more freely.
"Slow down damnit!"
Finally they got through and Kazuya saw a cabin.
He walked in and saw a poorly furnished living room with 5 doors.
"He hates us that much huh?" Kazuya asked
"Oh no he hates us way more than this. Pluto got him to do this. The original plan from what I heard was for us to sleep in the barn."
Well I guess that's one good thing about Pluto.
"We'll have to share a room the rest is taken unless you wanna go to another cabin?"
Of course there taken, I wonder why hyperactive elf.
She grabbed his hand and pulled him along making him stumble.
"I'm coming! Jeez hold on!!!"
They entered the room which has 3 beds on one side and a box with some other things around it on the other.
"Uh..."
"Don't worry the blankets keep us... Well their survivable with... I guess." She scratched her head.
"Well this is going to be hell."
"Well at least we get to wear rags instead of some weak clothing."
She grabbed an outfit for Kazuya to wear.
The beige long sleeve shirt and pants.
Kazuya groaned
Seiya sat on her bed "It's already getting dark. We should go to get dinner then go to sleep.
Kazuya nodded "As long as it's not horseshit."
"No it's... Um leftovers."
Kazuya looked at her as if she were a psycho. "SCRAPS!!!"
Seiya jumped, startled by the outburst "Y-yeah..."
Kazuya laid down with a loud sigh "Nevermind, I'd rather eat horseshit."
Seiya laid down too "Are you going to sleep then?"
Kazuya nodded and got under the covers.
It was a little cold after all they were in the frost kingdom.
However suddenly he felt warm feeling on his back.
He turned and saw Seiya snuggled up against him.
"SEIYA!"
"What? I'm cold" she pouted
Kazuya groaned and ran his hand over his face.
Just ignore her Kazuya just Ignore her.
Kazuya closed his eyes and wondered if this operation would even go well at all.
