A Hidden Spark

[Fluffybuttwannabe]

James Jones, wealthy son of one of the oldest families in the country scowled as he sat in the front of the stage, sitting next to his largely overbearing father. His father was a monster, plain and simple. No man should buy slaves for the purpose of working 17 hour shifts in a sweatshop to extend his own power. James hated slavery, seeing his father’s greed and corruption ensured that. You see, they lived in a world of two different kinds of people. You have humans, who were the dominant race, and a race of nekos, who were typically forced to submit to humans, and forced to be slaves. There were a few free nekos, but they were far in between, and were readily abused by society because of their DNA.

“Euw, James, take a look at one. Fine pair of hands she got,” He father hissed in his ear, causing James to frown even further. “Mmmmm, that’s a nice set of legs too, shame once she’s mine she ain’t gonna be walking on em. Sitting and pulling threads in the factory all day is what she’s got coming to er,” He said in a thick accent. “1000,” He shouted to the auctioner, smirking from ear to ear, evidently very happy with his new purchase of free labor.

James scowled at each of his fathers words. It hurt his eyes to even look at how uncomfortable the girl on the stage was. He and his father had never gotten along. While his father focused on business and money, James could never be that greedy. While his father spent all his time under mining the competition and robbing people of their money, James studied and read. Finally, James had graduated from one of the country’s top universities at the mere age of 20, the top of his class. But his father barely even cared, rolling his eyes and treating him like a dog. But recently, it seemed to have occurred to his thick-headed asshole father that he wasn’t immortal and someday he would need an heir to take over his company and fortune.

And as a result, the past few weeks had been almost nightmarish for James. His father had made him go through the sweat shops, and see how his fortune came to be. The sight of all the poor nekos who would never be able to do anything but sew and move machines had made him physically sick. He didn’t mind the finance aspect of it, but the rest of his father’s legacy disgusted him. Finally, not being able to take the idea of his father getting another worker, just as the auctioneer said the words “Going twice,” He raised his arm and shouted, “two thousand five hundred.”

That had been most of his own money he had saved up from working at school. But it didn’t matter, not to James anyway. He glanced over to see his father’s reaction, only to see an amused smirk on his face. His father didn’t say a word, as James waited patiently for the auctioneer to finish, before finally looking up to examine the female more closely. His face instantly turned red as he couldn’t help but admire the youth, finding himself slowly growing attracted to her and that beautiful body.

The Neko on the stage had black ears with a black tail. She had pail white skin and stood at a height of five feet and two inches. Her hail was black and her eyes were hazel in color. The cloths she wore couldn't even be called cloths as they were more of tattered cloths that hardly even covered anything. They just barely covered the upper portion of her thighs and, giving what was under there very, very little protection from being seen by any wandering eyes.

She had a family, had. She was torn away from them at a young age, and she was so young that she couldn't even voice her opinion on any of it. Once she was able to work, that was all she was doing, working in the mines with no break what so ever. Now she was being auctioned off like a tool. A fearful, trembling tool that looked at all of the buyers in front of her.

The sound of being told that she wouldn't even be able to walk made her look down at the wooden floor boards. The sound of a price being named by the man who said she wouldn't walk made her wince. She didn't like this at all, and the fear just kept building and building to the point of which she wanted to cry. She could run, but she wouldn't get far before she was either shot or immediately tackled down to the ground. Running wasn't something she wanted to do anyway because she couldn't even move her legs due to her fear, embarrassment and nervousness.

The sound of a different voice made her ears perk up and she would look at the man who named a higher price than the one mentioned. She was quick to judge off of his appearance and her heart immediately sank. James' father looked like a man of business, and to the Neko, she knew that was all he cared about, just like everyone else here.

However, she didn't only look at his father, she also looked at James himself and saw his blushing. Then she felt her own face heat up even more with embarrassment. She looked away from him immediately and was sure to adjust her "dress" slightly so that it would cover her front a little more.

James couldn't deny that she was very attractive. He looked around, and couldn't help but cheer when he won. Smiling, he glanced at his father, before walking away from him, towards the pens where she was being taken to. He frowned when he saw her tumble as she was led down the stairs of the stage. It hurt him to see one of the guards force her to her feet and push her into the dirt floor of the pens.

Frowning now, he went to the table in front of them, and reached in his pocket for his checkbook. "Ahh, young master Jones, it is a pleasure. But what are you doing here now, there are many more slaves to be seen, perhaps you might spot another one that suits your fancy," said the lady in charge of collecting money.

James however scowled and shook his head no. "I disagree. I've had about enough of seeing slaves for one day, and I've come to collect my property and head home. My father will be coming to get his new ones later, but for now I just want the girl."

"Understandable. You want to beat traffic so you can get home quicker to have a little fun trying her out, ehh," Said a man in a black suit, as he reached in to the neko pit and grabbed the female slave by the collar, forcing her out towards James.

James whinced when he saw the rough treatment, and quickly finished writing the check out, before walking over and taking her hand. "Is there anything I should know about her," He asked the lady, before returning to eyeing the young neko girl.

(By the way, I see all characters besides James and your neko as characters we can both play as. Meaning feel free to play as the money lady or the neko handler.)

[CalmlyEccentric]

The Neko cried out when she suddenly tumbled down the wooden steps of the stage she was on. Then she got back up onto her feet with the much unneeded, rough assistance from the guard. Then she fell to her knees inside of the pen. From there, she just looked down at the dirt she was currently kneeling on, tears occasionally dripping out of her eyes and to the ground below.

She listened to the people outside of her pen talk, wondering what was going to happen to her next in here. She knew it was going to be work, work, work once she got out of this place. She immediately looked up when the door to her pen was opened and she was roughly grabbed by her collar and forcefully pulled to her feet before, causing her to yelp in surprise.

(I'm fine with that.)

The lady gave her a good long look before going back to man and saying, "Lets just say that you're going to need a lot of padding for her as she has a few...problems that will lead to more problems if you leave them unchecked." Then she looked back at the Neko, who was blushing very hard right now.

[Fluffybuttwannabe]

"You mean that she is incontinent," James said sternly, before smiling some. "I don't mind. I think that's actually rather cute. Do I need to fill any other papers out, or can we be on our way," He asked with a gentle smile, reaching out and taking her left hand into his. He loved how soft, and smooth her hand was in his, and how her ears would twitch every time she was referred to. He couldn't help but stare at her silently, promising himself that nothing bad would ever happen to her again. He would be her protector, not her tormentor.

"No, you should be all good. She should be dry at the moment, though after being put on stage it couldn't hurt to give her a check," The lady explained, smiling as he led her towards the limousine that was parked outside. James ignored the cold stares of the other slave buyers, who looked at him with disapproval for not having her on a leash.

[CalmlyEccentric]

As the Neko followed him outside, she would be blushing very much as she looked at all the other slave buyers, knowing that more of her padding could be seen. She didn't know why these guys were nice enough to give her a diaper for her problems. She figured that their cold hearts would have left her in her own messy panties when she had her first accident. She wasn't complaining though as it was all fine to her.

Once inside of the limousine, the Neko would finally look up again, revealing her name to be Elissa, which was on the collar. She looked right at James and finally spoke in a soft voice that seemed to suit her quite well, "Thank you..." She asked, "W-Why are you being so nice to me right now compared to thr others."

[Fluffybuttwannabe]

He gave her a smile and, noticing that she was sitting on the floor and not on the leather seats, said, "I'll be glad to explain, but first please sit down on the seat. If your cold, I can have the seats be heated. Would you like something to drink, there are some bottled water in the compartment on the floor." Once he decided that she was comfortable, he smiled and said, "Well first off, my name is James Jones." Letting out a yawn, he said, "And I personally can't stand neko slavery. This might sound kinda crazy, but I only bought you because I can't stand the idea that my dad was going to. There was something about you that made me not want to see you in the hands of an asshole."

[CalmlyEccentric]

Elessa would go ahead and move to the seat, sitting down on the leather seats of the vehicle with an audible crinkle coming from the padding she wore. Of course, she knew James had heard that and couldn't help herself but to start blushing. She would promptly look away before she spoke, "Okay...Again, thank you for being so nice." Then she slowly looked back at him, still blushing as she did. "You...You aren't mad at me about these diapers, are you?"

[Fluffybuttwannabe]

He shook his head no, and leaned down giving her a nervous kiss on the cheek. Blushing, he pulled away and said, "No, why would I be. I, um, I find it extra cute. If that makes sense I mean," He said awkwardly rubbing the back of his head, a little embarrassed by his attraction. He felt like a kid with his first school-yard crush. Biting his bottom lip, he then said, "Also we aren't going straight home. I have to take you to the slave owners store to get you marked as mine. But then I'm going to take you straight to the Neko Barn. Thats a store that sells clothing made for Nekos. Hmmm, I'll have to ask where I can buy Neko shapped diapers. Those might be a hard find," He said a little nervous, looking her over with a smile.

[CalmlyEccentric]

The Neko would also blush from the sudden kiss to her cheek and would immediately turn away again. After hearing all the things he said, she nodded her head and said, "Okay." She then asked, "What kind of work am I going to be doing in your home, Master? I'm experienced with threading, cooking food, cleaning and managing the house while you're away." After saying that, she decided to get onto the leather seat, slowly, before looking out the window of the limousine, watching the buildings and people move by.
