There is a place out there, where homeless people stay.The owner of the building in which these people stayed, he'd sell the people that lived there.Find better homes for them, but he really just cared about the money he got.

It was a nice spring morning, and a young man stood at the window of his room.Looking out the window.Today was the day of the auction.He would be called to go to the first floor of the building soon.He wore a white button up shirt that the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and he wore a black vest over it, and a pair of black pants, and black shoes.He looked over his shoulder hearing a knock on his door."Come in.." in he said, and the door opened.The owner of the house stood there."Come on Aiko The auctions about to start." He said.The boy looked down.The man walked over to Aiko and pulled out a hat, and shoved it ontop of his head, making the its cat ears flatten against his head, and blend in with his hair, except for the ears blonde tips.The owner walked out of the room, and Aiko followed.They went to the first floor, where a bunch of chairs were, and a lot of people.Aiko looked down, he wasent very fond of the crowd.One by one people claimed maids, and butlers, apprentices, and helpers.
"Next up, is Aiko Kita!" The man announced.Awaiting People willing to take the young man.

Grace walked through the crowd, making sure not todraw any real attention to herself for she had no reason to attract any. As she looked around the room, she saw no one who peaked her interest until she saw the young man standing next to the owner of the house. "He looks about my age. I need a new butler at the house anyway." Grace made her way over to the two and introduced her to the owner of the house. "Hello I'm grace. What did you say this young man's name was?"

Aiko looked over the crowd with his dark green eyes, awaiting anyone willing to take him.The owner of the house looked over the crowd as well, some people offered.He heard a question in the middle of this, "Aiko Kita!" He announced."Any bids? Anybody? Anybody?" He scanned the crowd."$221" someone called.

"330." Grace retaliated. She didn't like to lose and definetely wasn't going to lose here.

"451!" Someone else called.Aikos dark green eyes went from person to person.So many people were bidding."565!" One said."566" another said.

"700." Grace called out. She was hoping she wouldn't have to use a lot of money today but if necessary she would. She didn't know why she wanted this particular boy but he just seemed to inerest her.

The crowd grew silent.Nobody dared try to outbid her with that high a bid, for such a scrawny looking boy."Going once!" The man said, the crowd remained silent."Going twice!" He said, still not any other bids."Sold! To the lady in the back!" He announced.Aiko stepped forward on the stage, awaiting his new 'owner' to come claim him.

Grace walked up onto where the two stood and looked at her new butler. "Hello there."

The boy looked at the girl.Watching as she walked through the crowd towards him."Greetings" he said, to his new master.

"I think its time to go. Come along aiko." She began to walk towards the exit and turned to see if he was still with her.

with a quiet nod, the young man, Aiko followed the girl just as the final bid for the final person began.When she looked back, he looked at her quietly.Not sure if she prefer that he speak, or remain silent.People were different,

Grace got to the front door and opened it. Waiting for her outside was a limousine and a man standing outside of the door. "Right on time." The man opened the door and grace stepped inside the car and beckoned for aiko to follow her.

Aiko followed her in silence.Once she opened the door, he blinked at what he saw.A limousine.She must have a lot of money, he thought.He followed her outside, and hesitated only slightly to follow her into the car.Making sure not to knock off his hat on the way in.

As soon as the two were inside the man closed the door and got back into the drivers seat. Grace settled down in her seat and looked at aiko. "So... You're name is aiko, huh? How old are you?"

Aiko looked at the girl, and nodder."Yes ma'am, that's my name." He said."And..im Almost 17" the boy answered.

"I see... So you're a little bit younger than me." Grace acknowledged. "Have you ever been a butler before?"

He looked her in the eyes, and shook his head."No ma'am I haven't..." he said.But he had been taught a few things in the time he lived at that house,

"How long have you been living in that house?" Grace began to question. She was curious about this young man she had decided to take in and she made no effort to hide it.

Aiko looked away to a moment to think, how long had he been there.He looked the girl back in the eyes, and answered with "Around a year or two" he said.Usually nobody bidded on him, cause he looked so weak..

"Where were you before then?" She continued.
