Amano
My Life As A Slave

Introduction

No-one knows how it happened; perhaps some thought the could break into the gates of heaven itself, or maybe it was the will of some powerful being that caused the Great Collapse. What is known however is now many different worlds have been crushed into one. And this world can be a dangerous place.

Our story takes place in the North, where the most powerful rule and the weak are enslaved. For many the life of a slave is common, but none more so than for young boys who are known as Chilra. There are two kinds; the Worker who slave away in mines and other such places, treated like animals and beaten as such. Then there are the Ero Chilra, boys who become sex slaves for the Lords of the North.

Blond boys are normally the ones who become Ero's as they are considered the most sensuous of children. Amano is a young blond boy, and the focus of this story, he is alone in a prison cell in the Chilra Hunter pen, where boys kept after being captured from various places around the North. This is where it starts, but not where it ends, Amano's journey now begins.

Chapter 1

My name is Amano and I am a Chilra, the translation loosly means Slave Child. Adults in this world control every aspect of our lives; boys are the most common Chilra, while girls are very rare to become Chilra. The adults use boys for everything: house work, heavy labour and even for… sexual needs. I have never been one of those kinds of Chilra. Ever since my village was attacked by slavers I have done nothing but work for ever increasingly mean masters. The last master wasn't happy with my 'work' like the others were so I was sent back to the Chilra prison, a few miles away from The Northern City.

At least I met some other Chilra I really liked and the funny thing is they didn't come from my world. A long time ago it is said a group of political and miltary extremists built a machine that could deconstruct matter at the most basic level, it was a true horror of a weapon but when they activated it something happened that they hadn't counted on. The machine sent a massive shockwave over the world and instead of destroying physical matter, it destroyed the barriers between worlds. Hundreds of different realities collided creating a whole new Earth, the technology of the different worlds was quickly taken by the strongest and most powerful people while the others were left with almost nothing. My family were one of the many left with nothing, we spent most of our years working for the sovereign of our village.

Then two years ago the village was attacked by mercs working for one of the Big Three Sovereigns, the ones who control the three biggest cities in the world. Everyone except the boys under 12 were killed and since then we have been moved from one place to another, I think right now I am going to be shipped back to the Northern City soon, the guards keep talking about selling us soon in one of the markets. Only the Big Three cities have slave markets and having known how long it takes to get to just one I guessed we had to be close seeing how long we had been moving. I shivered again, it was getting really cold in the cell and the rag clothes I was wearing didn't help keep me warm very well. Well… I guess at least I didn't have to give the guards anything…

I was deep in thought when the heavy metal door of my cell opened and two guards dragging along another boy entered.

"Here," one of them said, throwing the boy into the room, "this one will be your cell buddy until tommorow, when you are both sent to the market!"

And just as quickly as they entered, they were gone slamming the door and locking it. I looked down at the small figure who was crying softly, he was wearing the same slave clothes as me but he seemed to be fresh. I guess he had been captured recently, which meant this must be terrorfiing for him. I shuffled over and put a hand on his back, "Are… Are you okay, friend?"

He pulled away from me, moving into the corner of the room.

"W…Who are you? Where am I?"

Even though the light in the cell wasn't very good, I could see what he looked like. The boy was smaller than me, maybe younger, but apart from that we were very much alike. He was blond, had blue eyes and his hair was spikey just like mine.

"I'm Amano," I said, trying to calm the kid down, "It's okay, I won't hurt you."

"Where's my brother? Patamon?"

I raised an eyebrow, most wouldn't know what he was talking about but I knew. "You're… A Digimon trainer aren't you?"

The boy's eyes flashed and he sat bolt upright. "Yes! How did you know that?"

I moved in closer, trying to make him feel at ease. "I met someone like you once, in my village. It was a few years ago and she was only passing through. But her partner made a big mess in the food stalls."

He laughed quetly, "Yeah…Patamon loved food too… But I don't know… where he is…"

I sat by the wall next to his corner. "Whats the last thing you remember?"

The boy thought for a moment before speaking. "I remember… We, my brother and me, were going to a village in the jungle. Then these men came out of nowhere and started shooting…"

He brought his knees to his chest and started to hug them "An I ran…Patamon told me too. After that…I can't remember…"

"I'm sure they are okay. Maybe the got caught and are just… somewhere else." I was trying my best to give this boy hope, even though his brother and partner were most probably dead.

He looked at me, his eyes shining with a flicker of hope. "R… Really?"

I nodded, finally sitting right next to him. "Digidestined don't die easily friend, I know that."

The blond smiled slightly, obviously feeling a little better. "T…Thank you mister."

I laughed, "My name is Amano, not mister. What's your name?"

He looked at me for a little while, probably wondering if he should trust me, but then he spoke "T-Takeru… But my friends called me TK."

"TK, I like it. Its nice to meet you TK" I said warmly, offering my hand to him to which he shook weakly.

"Its nice to meet you too mister… I mean… Amano"

I ruffled his dirty hair, getting closer to him until my side touched his. "Did the guards hurt you TK?" I asked.

"N-No…" he said in a small voice, "They just pushed me around a lot… Chained me too…" He looked down at his ankles, which were chained like mine.

"Hey it's okay, I got those too." I chuckled lightly. "See?" I jiggled my feet, making the chains clink.

TK smiled, "Are we…going to be slaves?"

"I' not sure TK. But… I think so. Those people who captured me said things about the market."

"O… Oh…" he said in a small voice.

"But don't worry," I said, "I will protect you anyway I can!"

TK snuggled up to me, wrapping an arm around my waist. "I know you will.…"

I put my own arm around his back and closed my eyes and very soon, we were both asleep.

The next day everything moved quickly, the guards came in and grabbed us. TK was really scared but luckily we weren't separated, the guards pulled us through the building to what seemed to be a garage where a hover machine was waiting. We were forced inside the cargo bay where we saw atleast five large containers with air holes all over them, making me realise that is where TK and I would be kept for the journey. The guards opened the container closest to us and pushed us inside. There were two other boys who's chains had been linked to a large rung on the floor. The guards moved in and unchained one of TK's and one of my ankles and linked the now spare chain to the rung making us sit in a circle before closing the metal box.

Light. We heard the machine roar to life and take off but as there were no windows we couldn't see where we were going. The bay was really small just big enough for the four of us: me, TK, another small boy with black hair and bowl haircut and yet another small boy with light brown hair. The other boys were also chained to the floor, wearing the same rag clothes and they smelt even worse than TK and I did. I guess they had been in the prison for a long time, maybe waiting for a perticular buyer…

"Are you… okay Amano?" TK asked, breaking my train of thought.

I looked at him and smiled the best I could, "Yeah… And you?"

He nodded, shifting his weight on the cold metal floor. "Are we being sent to the market?" TK said.

"Of course we are!" the black haired boy said, his emerald eyes shining dimly "Why else do you think we are here?"

TK lowered his head, "S-Sorry…"

The boy sighed, bringing his legs together. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to snap at you… It's just… This is the third time I've been sent to the markets and everytime I get sent back. I would rather be working in the food fields then rotting in those cells!"

The brown haired boy whimpered, "But… If you don't work hard you get… punished…"

"I know that Tommy," the other boy said, "But I can work hard."

I turned my attention to the boy called Tommy. "Hello, my name is Amano. And you're Tommy right?"

Tommy nodded, turning his head away slightly.

"And you?" I asked the black haired boy.

"Cody, not that it matters. We probably won't be seeing each other again"

TK cocked his head to the side in curiousity. "What do you mean mister Cody?"

Cody looked TK straight in the eyes, "I mean, you two are going to be sold for sure! And Tommy and me will probably be sent back to the prison."

Tommy whimpered again, trying to cross his legs. "I don't want to go back there again! I don't want to be caned and I want a bath."

Hearing that, TK shuddered, "C…Caned?"

"Yeah, anytime a Chilra doesn't get sold they are caned for a whole day. An no matter how much you cry or beg, they just do it harder."

I saw that the poor blond was about to cry, so I shuffled over as close to him as I could get. "Its okay TK, I promise to protect you and I will!"

Cody looked at us for a while before asking, "You two will be sold. You are just the type the Lords in the City love. Blond, blue eyes and small. They hate Chilra like me and Tommy, not cute enough they always say. Even when they look at us… down there… They say we are not good enough."

I felt a chill go down my spine, "They… make you take everything off?"

Tommy nodded, "The Lords always want to see how healthy their slaves are going to be."

"Amano, you might get sold on your looks but what you have under those things is what could get you out of the hands of these… people."

I blushed, no one apart from family had ever seen me naked. "Are… Are you asking if you can look?" I said, hoping that would change the conversation quickly but Cody jumped at my question.

"Can I?" he asked, trying to get closer to me.

TK and Tommy were shocked but for some reason I didn't feel afraid of showing another boy my private parts, in fact it felt… stimulating. "Well…You have to show me yours!" I proposed.

Cody's brow furrowed in thought, "Alright, I will show you mine if you show me yours!"

I nodded, "Alright… hold on…"

I managed to get onto my knees which took quite a while seeing as the my chains were pretty ridged. Feeling the blood rush to my face, I grabbed hold of the bottom of my slave sack clothes, slowly and surely I pulled it up over my knees giving the three boys a view of my dirty legs. TK and Tommy were watching intranced by the sight and Cody was intently watching every inch that was revealed to him. I breathed slowly as the hem of my rags came up and over my boy parts, stopping just above my belly. All three boys sighed.

"Wow Amano…," TK exclaimed, "Its just like mine!"

I turned away, my face on fire and my eyes closed. I heard gasps from the others and when I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see Cody was bent down staring at my boyparts!

"W-What're you doing?!" I exclaimed, trying to pull away.

"You're perfect…" Cody said sadly, reaching out and placing a hand on my thigh. "So perfect…"

I slapped his hand away, making him pull back in surprise. "I don't want you to touch me!" I yelled.

"Get used to it!" Cody retorted, rubbing his hand, "You'll get poked and prodded more times than you can count."

"Alright! I showed you mine, now show me yours!" I commanded, crossing my arms and given the black haired boy a mean look.

He pouted, "Fine!" After a few moments, he got on his knees like I had and started pulling up his rag sack. I watched TK and Tommy, who both gaped at the sight of another boy showing off his parts.

"I don't care if you don't like what you see" Cody said, quickly pulling the rags up far enough that we could see his penis and small sack. "There, happy now?" he asked bluntly.

I looked at him and even though he was trying not to show it, he was nervous about showing himself off like this. Tommy and TK both looked at each other.

"I don't understand," the small blond said, "Mister Cody's is just like Amano's. Just because Amano looks like me…"

Tommy interjected, "Those parts are only half of what the Lords want TK, looks are the other half and they don't think me or Cody have that other part…"

I, like Cody, moved in so I could get a closer look at the boy's parts. It was really cute to say the least, his small penis resting nicely on his ball sack.

Sure he was really dirty down there, mud marks all over his legs and crotch but it was a nice sight.

"Hey, thats not fair!" Cody suddenly said, "You didn't want me getting close!"

I looked up at him trying not to laugh, he was really nervous and hearing his voice shake slightly was really cute! "Whats wrong Cody? Don't like me looking?" I teased, pushing my face as close to his crotch as I could get it. "Well I…You didn't…" I smiled slightly, maybe this was the last time any of us were going to have fun of any kind. Maybe… I should make the most of it.

"Cody… If you let me touch it, I'll let you touch mine."

TK and Tommy gasped, Cody just sat still holding his rag sack up with wide eyes. "R…Really?"

Those emeralds seemed to get brighter, like green stairs.

"Y-Yes…" I stammered, shifting myself on the cold metal floor.

Cody nodded, "Alright… But I get to touch your's first!"

Having guessed that would be the terms, I nodded too, "Alright, but be… gentle…"

I spread my free leg and lifted my rag sack again and pulled the hemline tight over my tummy. Cody whistled, "Its even nicer up close like this!" he said, almost sounding happy. He let go of his rags and brushed his hand over the top of my crotch, not touching my boy parts yet. I shivered, his hand was really cold and it sent the blood rushing back to my cheeks. "If I was a Lord, I'd buy you just like that." Cody exclaimed, tracing a finger down to my hairless boyhood.

This was unlike anything I had felt before, being touched by another boy shouldn't feel this good and I could tell Cody was enjoying it too. He was sitting crossed legged and was bending over but I could just make out a bulge in his rags, I had seen that kind of thing before. One of the things I had seen in my village was the Elders taking boys for 'special treatment', one time I managed to sneek into the Elder building and saw what that treatment was. The boys were naked and doing 'things' with the Elders, kissing and rubbing themselves against the Elders' bodies, it was unlike anything I had seen before and I found myself unable to turn away. What happened next… is a story for another time.

I hadn't yet noticed Cody was trying to pull my tight foreskin back, atleast until he gave it a really hard tug. Yelping I closed my legs on Cody's arm.

"Stop that! It hurts!" I cried.

"Okay okay! Just let my arm go!" the other boy yelled, I spread my legs out and Cody pulled away. "It was… nice though," Cody muttered under his breath.

"Yeah," I snorted, "I bet it was! I don't wanna touch your's now!"

I decided to forget about touching Cody in his private place for another reason other than the fact I knew I'd pull on his foreskin too, I had memorized how long it took the machines to get to the Northern City and we were almost there I figured.

"Well you guys…" I said, pulling my rags down back over my boy parts, "I don't know whats going to happen when we get to the City but… It was nice meeting you all… Even you Cody."

The black haired boy nodded slightly. "Y-Yeah… It was… But don't you worry Amano, at least you will get sold soon…"

I sighed and patted TK's leg, knowing that soon we were going to be split apart and what lay ahead was another slave life.

Chapter 2

Time passed quickly enough, before any of us knew it we felt the hover machine come to a stop.

"You think we've arrived Amano?" TK asked me.

"I guess so…" I replied. "But why haven't we…"

The sudden movement of the box cut my sentence short, it felt like we were being lifted. TK got to one of the air holes and peered through it, looking back at us in shock, "We're…flying!" he exclaimed.

"Don't be stupid," Cody muttered, "They use cranes to move our crates onto a hover trucks."

TK went red and lowered his head. "O…Oh…I'm sorry mister Cody…" he stammered, rubbing his hands together nervously.

There was a loud clunk and the crate shuddered, meaning we were now loaded onto the truck. Sounds of an engine powering up and a lurch forward siginaled we were once again on the move My little blond friend shuffled closer to me, "I don't wanna be a slave Amano…"

I put an arm around his shoulders, trying to confort him, "Don't be afraid TK, I said I'd protect you didn't I?"

He nodded slightly, cuddling up to me, "You won't let them… take me away will you?"

I shook my head violently, "No way in the worlds!"

The blond smiled slightly and stuck his thumb in his mouth.

"Oh please…" Cody sighed, "You really think you can get away? We're kept in chains all the time, even if you got away from the markets the whole city is surrounded by water. And I don't think you can swim with these things on your ankles!"

I felt a surge of anger go through me, this kid was really getting on my nerves! "Look Cody!" I said angrily, "TK is scared alright? And you acting mean isn't helping at all!"

Cody sighed and crossed his arms, "I' being realistic kid…"

"Kid? What does that make you?!" I exclaimed, "Wait I know, a brat! Thats what you are!"

Cody went red with fury and lunged at me, pushing me down onto the cold metal floor. TK and Tommy tried to get the black haired boy off me, the blond tugging on Cody's arm and Tommy trying to pull him off me by pulling back on his chain.

"You're stupid!" Cody yelled, punching me in the stomach, "Stupid stupid STUPID!"

I grabbed hold of Cody's rags, tugging hard on them.

"Lemme go!" I cried out and before I knew it I tugged so hard that I tore a chunk of Cody's rags away. The boy's eyes widened in shock and I just lay there looking up at him with the chunk of cloth in my hand.

"You… I…" Cody stammered, he was shaking like a leaf.

"I hate you!" Cody cried, violently pushing himself away from us and trying to get into the corner of the crate. The three of us stared at each other, not sure what to do.

"I'm sorry…" I managed to say after a while, "But you were hurting me…"

"I can't do anything right!" Cody cried, burying his face in his small hands "No Lord wants me… An my partner… my friend is gone… I couldn't save him…" He sobbed, this was the first time I had seen a more vunerable side to this boy.

TK looked at me with sadness in his eyes, "Mister Cody… is a Digidestined too?" he asked me.

"I… guess so TK." I replied, even though I wasn't really sure.

Tommy just sat and watched Cody cry not saying a word.

"Cody…" I said, trying to get closer to the boy, "I'll take the blame for your clothes… I should be punished not you."

Cody looked at me, tears running down his face, "W…Why? I hurt you… Why would you say anything to help me?"

I sighed and rubbed his leg, "Because… We're all in the same boat right?"

TK and Tommy nodded.

"Please… come back and sit with us… friend." I said, offering Cody my hand.

The boy stared at it for a moment, not sure whether he should accept it "O-Okay…" he finally said, taking my hand and squeezing it tight. We both shuffled back to the postion we had all started in and didn't say anything more… At least for a short while. TK prodded me in the side.

"Mmm? What's wrong TK?" I asked the blond.

"Amano… When Cody touched your… thingy… how did it feel?"

I blushed and giggled nervously, "W-Well… it felt… nice…" I admitted.

Cody giggled as well, wiping his eyes "An it felt good to touch it too," he also admitted.

TK sat back and spread his legs, giving me a little view up his rags, "Do you wanna… touch mine?"

I heard Tommy and Cody gasp, I guess the idea of seeing two boys who looked like they could be brothers touching each other down there could be… really kinky.

"If… If it's okay?"

TK nodded and with one hand pulled the brim of his rags up. For the first time I got to see TK's package and I have to admit, it was so much cuter than Cody's. It was smaller even than mine and I also got a look at TK's little pink hole, the light was intermintent but I could still see it quite well. I gulped loudly, "TK I don't think… I mean… We might stop any second…"

The blond ran his hand over his small balls and down his butt crack, "Don't you wanna touch it Amano?" He asked with those puppy dog eyes.

"Well… I…" I stammered, the fact was I did I really did but if the mercs saw us doing those kind of things we would get punished! But before I could say anything more TK had grabbed my hand and placed it on his cute boy parts, he blushed.

"Your hand… feels good…" he said with a little giggle.

His penis felt so soft and I found myself rubbing it gently. "Y-Yeah… Your thingy feels good TK…" I managed to say.

He smiled and I felt him shiver, but I don't think it was because he was cold.

"Try… going down more…" he said breathlesly.

I nodded and run my hand down to his bum, tracking my fingers down to his hole "Nnnn… thats…" TK gasped, "W-Wow…"

Tommy sighed, watching us two dirty boys.

"Amano," Cody said, "Trying poking it."

"TK?" I said to the blond.

"Do it Amano," he replied, spreading his legs as far as he could.

I prodded his boy hole, rubbing it gently.

"Nnn… A-Amano…" I heard TK gasp.

"Amano… put your finger in him," Cody said, grinning slightly.

"W-What?" I replied, looking at the black haired boy in shock.

"Stick it in… He'll feel good…"

But before we could go any further, there was a jolt as the hover truck came to a stop and our crate was opened up by two burly looking guards. Seeing me and TK in the position we were in, one guard laughed, "Oh boy, you two are in so much trouble now!"

We were all unchained and pulled out along with all the other Chilra who had been kept in the other crates out of the cargo bay and into the burning hot sun. We all covered our eyes to protect them from the searing light so we couldn't see the tower at the center of the city, the place were the Sovereign and the First Circle of Lords resided. I did manage to see however the never ending stretch of metal wall that surrounded the city.

We were shoved towards a door in the wall and into what I guessed had to be the lower class area were the most of the poorer families lived. This was the place were the slave markets were held as the Lords wouldn't want to have them in their upmarket area's. We were pushed and pulled down a long narrow street, I figured it had to be the way to the markets since there were guards and shady looking men exchanging large bags of what I had to guess were gold peices, young boys with chains on their ankles sobbing and a few little kids getting whipped by their guards. Gold was the only thing that mattered in our new world, after all the currencies of all the other worlds would have just caused problems so that so called precious metal was used by everybody from mercs to Lords.

As we went taken down the streets, the other Chilra groups were taken to different large houses and sent inside. Cody, TK, Tommy and I were kept together and shoved by the guards down to the very end of the street. We were then taken to the largest house on the street, pushed through the door into a large room with another door on the far end, which had to lead to the selling area. The room itself had straw all over the floor and muddy stains up the walls. There was a nasty smell too, like sweat and tears.

"Is this were we have to wait?" TK whispered to me.

Before I could reply one of the guards lifted TK's rags up and gave him a slap across his bare bum which made my poor friend yelp in surprise and pain. "No talking slave!" the guard grunted, "All of you get up against the wall with your hands on you heads!" he commanded.

All of us ran to the wall and stood facing the guards, putting our hands on our heads "You will stay like this until the owner here gets a customer, then we take you out front and see if any of you runts make us money." He looked at me and TK with a nasty look in his eyes. "You two! Come here!"

We both looked at each other with worried expressions and took several steps over to the man who towered over both of us. "You two were screwing around with each other in the crate right?" he stated while the other guard walked outside back into the back ally.

"N-No sir…" TK said softly.

"Don't kid, I saw you. Now unless it's for the pleasure of your masters then Chilra never screw around with each other."

TK lowered his head and sobbed, I tried to keep a brave face but I knew we were in trouble.

"Who started it?" the guard asked, pacing around us.

"I did," TK instantly admitted.

"Oh? And you two didn't have anything to do with it?" the guard asked Cody and Tommy.

They both shook their heads but I wasn't surprised it didn't make much sense us all getting punished.

"I see,…" the guard said, folding his arms. "Well you two are in for a good spanking" he told us two trembling boys.

His friend came back in from outside, holding a small paddle.

"There you are," the guard said, "What took you so long?"

"Hey, I had to haggle for this," The other guard moaned

"Ah shuddap an get over here" His friend sighed and came over to us.

"Arms up you two," we were ordered. Once we had our arms high over our heads the guards pulled our rags off in turn, leaving us both naked.

"Man they're dirty"

"Of course they are, Sil, they're Chilra what do you expect?"

The guard Sil nodded and tapping the paddle in his hand, I could see that is was made of leather and I felt my butt twinge. I had been punished in my village before and once I got a paddle made from leather right across my bum, I never forgot how much it stung and now I was going to get it again. TK was starting to cry now, little tears running down his cheeks "P-Please…" he begged, "Don't spank us…"

Sil just laughed while his buddy grabbed TK's arm and pulled my friend under his arm making TK bend over. "Let's warm that dirty butt of your's up slave," he laughed and started slapping TK's defenseless bum hard and fast. The slaps echoed around the room and TKs cries got louder and louder as his spanking went on. I watched wide eyed feeling every spank that landed on my friends rear, I had seen and been on the receiving end of spankings before and I knew how much they hurt. The guard even gave TK's tighs spanks too and by the time the 'warm up' was over TK's bum was bright red and the back of his legs were a pinkish colour.

"Sil! Grab the slave!" Sil came over and grabbed TK, pinning the blonds hands behind his back and making him stand straight.

"Hey Sil… Check this out," the guard laughed, grabbing me by the shoulders, "This one has a hard on!"

I felt the blood drain from my face and looked down, my heart could have stopped right there, my wiener was stiff and standing to attention. I cried out and covered myself, but my hands were roughly pulled away by the guard.

"No covering slave, let everyone see how you get off seeing your friend getting punished!"

He twirled me around showing my woody off to Tommy and Cody, who both stared with open mouths.

"I think…" Sil said with a grin, still holding onto TK, "This one needs a different punishement don't you Jaico?"

Jaico looked at me with a hungry stare and then pushed me to the floor, I cried a little as I hit the cold stone floor.

"You're right, Sil, he does indeed need a different punishement. One just for dirty chilra's."

I held me down with one of his big hands and… kissed me right on the lips! My eyes widened and I tried to pull away from this perverted man but he had me pinned real good.

"Struggle and it will be more unpleasant, slave," Jaico sneered, his other hand running down my belly straight to my hard on!

TK started to cry again, "No! Leave him alone!"

"Sil, that brat says another thing you chain him to the wall and paddle him until he can't sit or walk!"

Jaico started kissing me again and gripped my balls, making me whimper like a baby. Cody and Tommy were just… standing there with their hands on their heads, looking away from the sight. Tears stung my eyes and started to roll down my hot cheeks, I wanted this mean man to stop but I couldn't move… I was helpless… He broke the kiss and looked down on me with a huge grin, "You taste good, even if you are so dirty" he laughed, he let my balls go and started to jerk my boyhood.

"Nnnn! No!… Not there…" I begged but he kept doing it, I could feel some warm liquid trailing down my stiffy.

"You're leaking already?" Jaico said surprised, "What a bad bad slave."

I felt a finger slip under my foreskin and roll around my head.

"S-Stop!… Please…"

"Silence slave! This is your punishment! And…" Jaico's voice trailed off, I looked up at him and his face had furrored in thought. Then he smiled and turned his head back to Sil and TK. "Sil? Bring the other one over here."

Sil not sure of what his fellow guard had in mind shrugged and pulled TK over to us.

"Let him go," Jaico said.

"Why?" Sil asked, "Are we stopping already?"

The other guard rolled his eyes and pulled Sil's hands off TK, my little friend fell beside me and grabbed my arm.

"Are you okay Amano?" he asked in a small voice.

I nodded but I didn't like the look in Jaico's eyes, this man seemed to have something in mind for me and TK and I was sure neither of us was going to like it.

"If you slaves do what I say, you will not be punished any further," Jaico said. TK squeezed my hand tightly. "All you have to do is do those dirty things to each other again!"

I looked at TK and he looked at me, Jaico wanted us to do that stuff again?

"You two!" Jaico yelled at Cody and Tommy, "Get over here and sit down, you will have an interesting show."

The two boys obeyed, walked over a little way away from us and sat down.

"But no playing with yourselves! Or you'll get spanked good!"

I heard Tommy and Cody squiek and they nodded, Sil sat down next to Tommy and Jaico next to Cody.

"Now you two, get up on your knees," Jaico commanded.

TK helped me up and we both knelt as we had been ordered, facing each other blushing like mad, trying not to look at each others private bits.

"Now, kiss each other!" Jaico said, grinning over to Sil.

"W-What?" I stammered.

"Kiss! Or maybe you would like to see your little friend get whipped?"

I shook my head, I didn't want to see that…

"Amano…" TK said softly before placing a kiss on my lips. "Punish me…" he begged.

I looked up and down his small body, the mud and sweat glistened on him, he seemed to shine in the light and he was so beautiful. I wanted to 'punish' him so bad! "TK…" I pulled him close to me and kissed him deeply, as my tongue entered his mouth his own tangled with mine. Our bodies rubbed against one another, our sweat mixing with the mud on us and making fresh streaks across our bodies. "Mmm…" I moaned, this was such an amazing feeling, even if TK was dirty and smelly to me he smelled like roses. I reached around and ran a hand down TK's back all the way down to his small bum, TK broke the kiss and threw his head back. "Amano!" I probed his soft cheeks with my hand before moving down to his crack, a single finger going all the way to TK's small boyhole. At this point my little slave friend was moaning louder and louder "N-No! Not there!"

"Shhhh," I whispered in his ear, "It feels good after a little while." As I told him this, I slipped a finger into TK's hole.

"NNNG!" he cried, arching his back further back.

The guards were enjoying this 'punishment' both touching themselves and grinning widely. "Yes!" Jaico yelled, "Now add another."

Suddenly, the back door was flung open and we all turned to see what was happening. There was a thing standing in the doorway! It looked like a angry dinosaur, something I had heard about from First World history. It growled at Sil and Jaico angirly and to my surprise it talked.

"What are you making these Chilra do?" it said in a somewhat high pitched voice.

The two mean guards jumped to their feet. "Mr Guilmon!" Jaico stammered nervously, "We were just…"

"Seeing how slave boys make out?" Guilmon said, its eyes narrowing. "You make these two make out BEFORE they are sold? That's against the rules, isn't it my boy?"

I noticed the thing had a leash in its hand and had tugged it when it had finished speaking, a older looking boy entered behind Guilmon and I saw the leash was attached to a collar around the boy's neck. He must have been a Chilra but he was too old, his clothes were much nicer than the rest of us.

"Yes, master Guilmon," the boy said with a lowered head. "That is against the rules."

"Indeed!" Guilmon grunted, pulling his chilra along as he walked further into the room. "And that means I get a bad rep for letting the boys I caught get 'done' by some two bit lowlife scum suckers like you!" Guilmon was clenching its fists tight, I saw how big its claws were and I thought that it could take someone's head off with those weapons! "So, what you two have to say before I slice an dice you?" the thing growled at the two guards, stepping up close to the two frightened men.

"I… They… were so cute and…" Sil started.

"So you thought you'd make these two slaves do that stuff huh? How about I do something to you? In which you end up buried at sea!"

TK was hugging me really tight, burying his face in my naked chest, Cody and Tommy were still sat on the floor trying to figure out what was going on.

"Well?" the red and black creature asked.

"Ummm… Don't kill us?" Jaico stammered, sweat pouring down his face.

The dino laughed, unchaining his chilra and wrapping the leash around its claw leaving a fair amount free and dangling. "So, you told these slaves to make out, you told them to screw is that what you did huh?!" it yelled starting to whip the two men, chasing them around the room when they started to run. "You two do anything like that to anymore slaves I bring in, I'll stick your head in a fire you got that?!"

"YES! YES WE UNDERSTAAAND!" Jaico yelled in pain, pulling Sil to the exit.

"Now GTFO you two!" Guilmon shouted whipping the two men several more times before the ran out and left the door open behind them, we all saw several mercs watch the two men run out and laugh.

"Takato! Go close the door, then inspect the slaves!" Guilmon ordered. "Make they aren't damaged, I will talk with the seller. And Takato?"

The boy looked at his 'Master', "Yes sir?"

Guilmon grinned slightly, "No playing with the slaves or else…"

I saw for the first time that the creature had a belt around its waist and on it were several implements: there was a small paddle, a belt that had been split at the end making two strips and a nasty looking whip that was coiled into a circle. Takato giggled slightly, something I found odd, "Yes master! I understand."

Guilmon nodded and opened the door leading to what I guessed was the selling floor.

"Well you guys, are you all okay?" the brown haired boy asked me and TK.

"Um… yes sir… I'm fine" I said softly.

Takato giggled again, "I' not a Lord buddy, call me Takato."

I felt TK lessen his hold on me. "Are we in trouble Takato?" my little friend asked.

"No, no, those guards shouldn't have been playing with you. Trust me if Master Guilmon thought you were to blame for the situation he'd have you bending over and getting a licking from his paddle."

We both shuddered, Takato grinned and helped us both up. "Don't worry okay? And now you two," he said to Tommy and Cody.

"We're fine," Tommy replied, remaining on the floor.

"I remember you guys, I helped Master Guilmon catch you." Takato said, giggling again.

"I remember…" TK said, turning away, "I remember some men running after me… after that nothing."

Takato nodded, patting the boy on the head. "You were easy to catch, I don't know what happened to you before but you were unconscious near a huge tree. I put you over Master Guilmon's back and took you too the merc camp."

TK squeezed my arm, "Did you find another boy? Looked like me but older?"

Takato thought for a moment then shook his head. I looked at TK and saw he was teary eyed. "Hey hey, I' sure your brother is okay TK," I tried to reassure the boy.

I heard Takato sigh and when I looked back at him he was staring at me and TK with a happy look on his face. "You two could be brothers," he said, "You both are really cute!"

He moved closer to us, maybe he had some 'plans' for us so I stepped forward. "H-Hey…Your master said no playing with us! You don't want to get into trouble do you?"

Cody and Tommy got up and sprinted over to us, "Yeah," Tommy said, "Don't hurt our friends"

Takato giggled like a girl, looking at all of us each in turn. "Who said I wouldn't like getting punished?" he said with a big grin, kneeling down next to me licking his lips.

I felt a shiver down my spine… but at the same time I wanted to protect my friends. "Look… if you have your… fun with me, you have to leave them alone," I said, pointing to the others.

"No Amano!" TK whimpered.

"TK is right Amano," Cody said, "Don't do anything with him… slaver."

Takato looked shocked, "Hey, I'm just a Chilra like you. I'm no slaver. So don't call me that again okay?"

Cody stepped back, maybe trying to figure out if this older boy would hit him or something before he nodded slightly.

Takato turned back to me, "Okay buddy, we have some time before Master Guilmon gets back so why not?"

He pulled his armless jacket off and threw it to one side but left his loin cloth on for the moment, "You lot go stand by the wall and no peaking okay?"

I nodded to the others and they reluctantly obeyed, going to stand by the wall with their fronts to it.

"Tell me, my buddy, have you ever had sex before?" Takato asked me, taking me by the arm and pulling me closer until I was face to face with him.

I blushed and looked away, that made Takato grin again, "Oooh you must have. Not surprised though, a cute boy like you are rare."

He licked my cheek all the way to my chin, I shut my eyes tight hoping this would be over soon.

"Mmmm, salty," Takato giggled, "I love dirty boys, all smelly and muddy. I've seen worker Chilra in food fields, all so cute and screwable." He put his hands on my shoulders and pushed me down onto the dirty floor then straddling me. "You smell so good," the boy added before nipping my neck in several places. I moaned but this time it was with pleasure, it wasn't like before with the guard and TK. I was enjoying what this pervy boy was doing to me. "Tell me something, are you potty trained?" Takato asked, running his hands over my muddy chest.

"N-no…" I whimpered.

"No? Were you spanked like a naughty boy when you wet your bed?"

I nodded, trying not to moan again.

"That's good," Takato giggled, "Boys who wet the bed should be spanked…" He started rubbing my tummy making little circles with his fingers, I tried to fight the feelings that were growning inside me but I couldn't say I didn't want more of this, I spread my legs wide so Takato could see my bumhole and my now stiff boyhood. "Oh ho ho!" Takato exclaimed, "You're all stiff I see. Good boy, you'll pleasure the Lord you are sold to for sure. Touch your wiener, buddy."

I was dizzy with pleasure and his words crept into my mind, almost taking over my own will. I gripped my boyhood with both hands and stroked myself.

"Good boy…" Takato groaned, he let me go for a few moments so he could pull his loin cloth off revealing his bigger penis to me. It was really big compared to mine, I wanted to touch it so badly…

"You like it?" Takato said proudly.

"U…Uh huh…" I managed to say, pulling back my foreskin and rubbing my pee hole with one finger.

"Would you like it inside you?"

I nodded violently, moaning louder and louder as my painfully hard penis oozed some of that weird stuff that was like pee but wasn't.

"Okay then" Takato groaned, placing his own penis to the tip of my hole "Here we go…"

Chapter 3

"Well we still have time before… TAKATO!"

We both turned to see Guilmon standing in the doorway, with a look of thunder on his face "I told you not to play around with the Chilra!" He shouted, slamming the door behind him.

"B…But master…" Takato whimpered, pulling away from me and standing up.

"I couldn't help it…"

Guilmon got close to Takato, his eyes aflame.

"For a slave, you have the biggest sex drive I have ever seen!" he turned towards Cody, TK and Tommy "What are you three doing?"

The boys turned around, all keeping their hands behind their backs "Mister Takato said we had to face the wall…" Tommy sobbed "We didn't do anything…"

Guilmon grunted angrily "That's the point slave! You didn't do anything! Which means you are all just as guilty as my boy here!" I was still sprawled out on the floor, my heart pounding.

"It… It was my fault…"

Guilmon turned to me, his eye's narrowing "What was that?"

"It was my fault," I repeated "I wanted Mister Takato to do that stuff to me…"

Guilmon didn't seemed that convinced. "Oh really? So you just asked him to screw you?"

I blushed and turned away, this creature had really crude names for things.

"You know what I think?" Guilmon said as he paced around me.

"I think you're lying!"

I sobbed quietly while the others kept their heads down.

"You're lucky slave, if you weren't about to be sold I'd be spanking you so good you wouldn't sit for a week! But marking a Chilra before selling him could make the difference between a sell and nothing at all." Guilmon grunted as he unhooked the belt with the split end from his harness.

"So instead, Takato will get your punishment as well as his own."

Takato cried out, his eyes flashing with fear "Master Guilmon… I'm getting two spankings?"

The Digimon nodded slowly, approaching his Chilra and tapping the belts end on his paw like hand.

"Indeed, one on your rear and one on your hands so you know not to do such a thing again."

Takato looked like he was about to cry, even though he said he 'enjoyed' spankings. He whimpered, "Assume the position master?" Guilmon nodded slightly, letting the belt hang down by his side. The brown haired boy bent over and grabbed hold of his knee's, spreading his legs slightly for his cruel master.

"Ten strokes," Guilmon said, before bringing his arm back and lashing Takato's rear. We all jumped when we heard the CRACK the belt made against Takato's bare bottom, he yelped but stayed in position.

Guilmon gave his chilra two strokes in quick succession.

"WAAAH!" Takato cried, still staying in his humiliating position.

Cody, Tommy and TK were looking away from the sight but I couldn't help but stare, Takato's rear had turned from its normal colour to a bright red with painful looking stripes.

"This is what happens…" Guilmon said as he gave his boy another three hard strokes, "…to any slave who disobeys his master!"

The boy had tears trailing down his cheeks and his nose was running. "M-M-Master…"

Guilmon sighed and gave Takato the rest of his spanks quick and hard. I have to admit I admired Takato, he took his spanking without falling down or reaching back to protect his bum.

"Now, hold out your hands slave," Guilmon ordered.

"Y-Y-Yes master…" Takato sobbed, forcing himself upright then holding his open palms out in-front of him. Guilmon fixed his belt back onto his harness before unhooking the mean looking paddle.

"Five strokes," Guilmon said, moving so he was standing beside the crying boy.

"This is so your hands remember not to go touching unsold slaves again," the Digimon stated, tapping the paddle on the boys outstretched palms. Takato closed his eyes tightly and whimpered again before Guilmon whacked his hands hard with the paddle.

"AAAH! WAH! NOO!" Takato cried as his master paddled his hands, every whack echoing around the room. By the time is was over Takato's hands were red and sore, his face a mess of tears and mucus.

"Get your clothes back on slave, you two as well," Guilmon ordered.

I helped TK get his rags back on before putting mine back on, Takato winced as he put his loincloth and jacket back on.

"All right you four," Guilmon said, "You are coming with me onto the selling floor. This is the first time two blonds have been sold in this place before, I know that you will be making us a lot of money!" Guilmon grinned and took several leather looking things from his harness, giving them to Takato.

"Tie their hands behind their backs Takato, it's just about time…"

Takato cried a little as he took the leather wrist bonds, his hands must have been really stinging and holding onto things wouldn't help.

"P-Put your hands behind you guys…" the boy said in a shaky voice. We obeyed and Takato tied our wrists together tightly, we all looked at each other.

"TK…"

My friend looked at me, fear written all over his face. "Y-Yeah Amano?"

"I'm sorry… I don't know if we'll see each other again…"

Guilmon laughed a little, "Of course you will, you're being sold together"

When we heard that, I felt my heart leap and TK's eye's brightened up.

"Sure, two of a kind, that will mean more gold!" Guilmon said. "But as for your friends, they will be sold separate. I think they'll be working in the mines after today."

TK and I looked over to the other boys, Tommy was sobbing but Cody was trying to put on a brave face.

Guilmon opened the door ."Lets go."

We all obeyed and filed through the door.

The place was crawling with people, young and old, mostly men in very expensive looking clothes. Most of them were 'browsing' the many boys who were locked in chains to the walls of the selling floor, TK and I were led to a brightly lit wall were our leg irons were unhooked and connected to a single large rung on the floor. We weren't allowed to sit, we had to stand there while men walked up to us and inspected our… goods.

"Hmmmm these are brothers are they not?" one commented to Guilmon.

"Yes they are noble Lord, captured not that long ago, perfect for becoming an Ero."

The man snorted lightly and waved a hand at me and TK.

"All skin and bones, no meat, nothing to grab onto."

He walked away and Guilmon snorted unhappily, turning to us he lowered his voice so only we could hear.

"I'm not leaving until you two are sold! If I have to sell you to a Lord who loves torturing boys I'll do it!"

I tried not to cry… but couldn't help it, TK also broke into tears, but no-body noticed… the air was full of sobbing boys, a few more cries wouldn't be that interesting to the Lords.

It seemed like hours passed in the hot room, I wanted to drink some water but was too afraid to speak, more and more Lords came up to us… and all walked away.

Again the complaint was "Too thin, too weak."

The fact TK and I were filthy and smelt bad couldn't be helping much…

I looked over to TK and saw he was sweating heavily, I'd at-least try to get him some water if nothing else.

"M…Master Guilmon?" I stammered.

"What is it Slave?" the creature growled.

"M-My brother needs a drink…"

Guilmon looked to TK then back to me.

"I don't care!"

"P-Please Master Guilmon…"

My begging was met with a forceful slap to the face, I howled and fell to my knees.

"I said I don't care Slave!" Guilmon shouted, obviously more angry at us not being sold than my begging him for water.

"Sir, you shouldn't beat a possible Chilra before it is sold."

The three of us were startled by a strong voice from behind Guilmon, the Digimon turned and bowed to a very well dressed man.

"Forgive me Noble Lord I did not see you…"

"I have been watching this area for some time and noticed no-one has brought these two, I'm in the market for some Ero Chilra, I wish to inspect these two."

Guilmon rose from his bow and nodded violently.

"P-Please! By all means!"

The man stepped forward and I looked him over; he carried himself with an almost malevolent air, his clothes were beautiful but that didn't betray the horrible feeling I got, he didn't seem that old, more middle aged than young though.

His hair was dark brown with strands of it coming down across his forehead, his grey eye's burned with a silent fury and a large scar across his chin gave me the creeps!

"Are they brothers?" the man asked Guilmon as he looked me and TK over.

"Um…Yes Noble Lord! Captured together in… a temperate jungle zone, Grid 32c."

"Jungle boys eh? I want a feel of this one," said the Lord pointing at me.

Guilmon nodded happily. "Please do! And no need to be gentle either!"

I tried to pull away from the Lord's rough touch but to no avail, he grabbed my sack and squeezed it hard, my cry of pain seemed to bring the man great joy.

He then took my penis in his hand and pulled back my foreskin, that was almost as painful as him squeezing my balls, again I cried out and I felt tears trickled down my cheeks. The Lord leaned in and inspected my privates… it was so humiliating to have this man see every part of me, I wanted to run… to hide…

"You are brother to this other?" the Lord asked.

"Y-Yes…" I choked out.

He squeezed my sensitive glans hard, my back arched as I screamed loudly.

"Yes what Slave?" he growled menacingly.

"Y-Yes, Noble Lord!"

"Name!" he commanded.

"A-Amano, Noble Lord!"

The man lessened his grip on my penis, but it still hurt.

"You look like a proper slut Slave, what's the reason for not being sold yet?"

"P-Please Noble Lord, the other Lords said my brother and I were not good enough…" I sobbed.

He turned to Guilmon and smirked darkly.

"They might be right do you not think Hunter? These two are skinny and stink, how much are you asking for them?"

"I erm…" Guilmon stuttered, trying to think of a price, "I would charge… two thousand?"

"Two thousand for these two brats?" the Lord exclaimed. "That's unheard of, even for Ero Chilra, if they were cheaper… say… six fifty for both I might consider a purchase."

Guilmons mouth dropped, he didn't look happy with the Lord's desire for a cut price.

"Forgive me Noble Lord but these boys are rare, finding two blond brothers AND catching them is a difficult feat. I can't sell them for that price… I still have to give the market owner a cut."

"Hmmmm…" the man mused as he let my privates go, I sighed in relief.

"You make a valid point sir… I am not without a heart. I'm willing to make an offer."

Guilmons ears pricked up hearing this.

"I offer one thousand for both, with an off the record two hundred fifty for yourself.

Of course it is up to you sir."

The Digimon thought for a few moments, TK and I were praying he didn't agree…

"Very well Noble Lord, you have a deal! One thousand for both… I just need to do some paper work, and give you the Slave's ownership documents…"

Guilmon went off and quickly returned with a hand full of paper, TK looked at me horrified and I gave him the same look. This Lord was a horrible man… and he was buying us! He would make us sex slaves… hurt us… how could this be happening?

"May I see some identification Noble Lord?" Guilmon asked.

After being handed a slip of expensive looking paper the creature's eye's widened.

"F-Forgive me Commander Yuric, I didn't recognise you!"

Commander? Our new master is in the army?!

The man waved a hand, "Please no need to be so formal, it's only Lord Yuric now, my days of fighting for the North is over. I… retired recently, always wanted my own house, the Sovereign obliged me."

Guilmon nodded and quickly signed his papers, Yuric handed the Digimon some kind of gold card the details of which Guilmon wrote down also.

"Thank you, Lord Yuric, for buying these two slaves, if you are dissatisfied with them in any way return them to this market and you will be refunded…" he turned to me and TK "…and have the pleasure of watching these two worms being tortured for displeasing you, I always wondered what ripping a boys skin off would be like!"

We were unchained from the wall, our leg irons were reconnected before Lord Yuric was given two collar chains with leads which he clamped around our necks tightly.

"Follow me Slaves! I need some Workers for my house!" he commanded.

TK got close to me and grabbed my hand, I squeezed his in mine and tried to be brave for him, I whispered in his ear, "Don't be scared…" but Yuric saw…

He punched me in the tummy, coughing up spit I crashed to my knees, TK fell to my side but Yuric tugged on his lease hard and forced him back to his feet.

"Get up! And be silent!" Yuric yelled at me. "Any-more talking and you'll be whipped once we arrive home!"

He yanked on the leash to my collar and made me stand, I clutched at my sore tummy as our… master dragged us around the market area searching for more slaves.

All the time I could hear crying… boys of different ages were being touched all over their bodies by other Lords, some tried to resist and were beaten for it by the Lords, I didn't see any other blond boys most were black and brown haired, a few red heads, all in tears and begging to be let go.

There was one boy… he was little, younger than me and TK, he was being dragged away in chains by a large dusty looking man, the boy fell down and the man drew back a long whip and brought it down across the boys back, making a large tear in his rag clothes. The child screamed as he was pulled away, more lashes falling across his back, I looked up at Yuric and saw he was frowning.

"Stupid Mine Lords… I'd have a house full of workers if they didn't need so many boys!"

Mines… Guilmon said Tommy and Cody could be sold to one… it looked worse than what was going to happen to us…

He pulled us past other selling area's until… I saw them!

Cody and Tommy were being manhandled by another Mine Lord, both had their sacks pulled up to their chins, the man was feeling my friends… probably figuring how strong they were…

"Cody! Tommy!"

The cry came from TK… he grabbed the leash and tried pulling our new master over to the other boys.

"Stupid slave! Get over here!" the master yelled and violently tugged back, forcing my 'brother' off his feet and down to the ground.

"Master!" I cried, "Please don't hurt my brother!"

Yuric turned to me, a dark smile crossing his face.

"You both deserve a good whipping once I get you home, disobeying your master in the first few minutes!"

Even though tears were trailing down my cheeks I put on the hardest face I could.

"Master, Cody and Tommy were brought in with us, they can work hard!"

I got a scowl in return.

"And how would a dirty, smelly Chilra like you know what kind of Workers I am looking for?"

I clenched my fists.

"They… They didn't get sold the last few times they were here, Master."

Yuric drew his fist back, ready to strike me again.

"P-Please Master! If they go back to the Pens they'll be hurt! And… And you won't have Chilra working in your home who can't work as hard as Tommy and Cody! I'm your slave now, I don't lie to my master!"

Yuric narrowed his eyes and dropped his fist. He seemed to be thinking over what I'd said… he brought his face close to mine.

"I need Workers to take care of my home, I am NOT buying them on your say so Slave! And the next time you speak to me, either of you, without being permitted first the punishment you will experience will be far worse than what you're getting later!"

I shivered, as did TK who I helped up, knowing how cruel this… man could be gave me the feeling that he had more in mind than a simple whipping for my punishment.

"You boy!" Yuric called to Takato, who was doing the selling. "How much for these two Workers?"

I was surprised, I'd thought from what Yuric had said he wouldn't buy Tommy and Cody.

"I… three hundred gold for both Noble Lord!" Takato replied.

"Very cheap…" said Yuric, "…I want them."

"Wait! I am buying these two!" the other Lord said loudly.

"Not today friend! Boy I will take these two, give my regards to your master!" Yuric said to Guilmon's boy.

"Fine! They wouldn't have lasted in my mine anyway!" the Mine Lord grunted.

Lord Yuric gave Takato his gold card, once its details were taken and our friends ownership papers were filled out, Tommy and Cody were collared and handed over to our master. Takato ran off, probably back to Guilmon, I was sorry that we hadn't gotten more… intimate but nothing could change that now.

I did hope that he and Guilmon lived long though…

"Move it worm!" Yuric yelled in my ear, tugging on my leash harder. "I'm adding to your punishment if you don't move your feet!"

The four of us were dragged outside the market into a 'parking lot' filled with various vehicles.

By the back of one large machine stood a man in less fancy clothes than Yuric, but his face seemed much kinder. His hair was short and black, his eyes a pale green, and no scars at all.

"Kai, get these four in the holding trunk, and make it snappy!" Yuric commanded.

Our leashes were given to this new man who pulled us gently over to the back of the… truck I think they are called, he unclipped the leads from our collars and opened the back door.

"Inside, now," said Kai, it was a command but much softer in tone.

The four of us piled into the back, sitting down on hay that was strewn over the floor. Kai shut the door behind us, the sudden darkness made TK cry out, I hugged him close to me trying to comfort him. In a few moments the truck roared to life and moved forward… it was bumpy for a while until we must have hit a proper road, because from there on it was a smooth ride.

"A-Amano…?"

It was Tommy, I could barely see anything but I could make out the very faint forms of the other two boys.

"You… You saved us…"

I felt a tear run down my cheek for the millionth time today.

"No Tommy… I haven't…"

Tommy's form shifted, "But… that other man was going to put us in a mine somewhere… the one who brought us won't do that will he?"

"N-No…" I replied. "He wants slaves for his house…"

"Then we just have to do house work? Cleaning and stuff?" that was Cody.

"I… don't know Cody… but Yuric… the… Master… he's horrible!"

There was silence, no-one in the back seemed to even be breathing.

"Amano…" Tommy again. "If we had have gone to a mine… we'd have died."

TK clutched at my side, I hugged him harder, I saw two shadowy forms crawl over to where we were sitting.

"He's gonna whip me…" I cried, "An'… make me his… sex slave… and now I got you both in his control… that horrible man!"

"We're all gonna be hurt Amano." Cody's voice came from my left, I heard two soft thuds as my friends sat against the wall "But… we can be strong for each other right? We can survive if we all stick together!"

"Y-Yeah!" I heard Tommy agree, he must have been sitting beside TK.

"Guys…" I wiped my eyes, "…you're stronger than me… I don't know if I can do it…"

Then it was TK's turn to speak.

"B-Brother… I'll help you… we're Ero Chilra now and… I gotta pull my weight. If you can't do… 'it' with the Master I'll do it instead…"

"T-TK…"

And I cried again… I cried for ages… after a while the others did too… If anyone could have heard the sounds from inside the truck all they would have known is that there were four small, frightened child slaves on their way to a new life… A life of servitude and pain…

Chapter 4

My thoughts were all on what was going to happen next, how bad would it really be? Yuric was a cruel man, that was for sure, but the other one Kai seemed… almost kind in a way. Something about his eyes…

Maybe he was a servant of Yuric, or a friend, I didn't know but I just hoped we would be put in his care for a while…

"Amano… I need water…" TK moaned, grabbing my arm and squeezing it.

"I know TK… we all do… I'll try and get us some."

"From that horrible man?" Tommy cut in. "Would he do that?"

"Well… he bought us." Cody said. "If we died… what would be the point?"

If we… died…

"We're not gonna die!" I exclaimed. "Like you said Cody; we stick together!"

"But what if we get split up?" Tommy whimpered. "What then?"

"Guys stop it!" TK cried softly. "If big brother Amano says we're gonna be okay then we'll be okay!"

Then there was more silence… I didn't blame any of my friends for being scared, I was too, we were slaves on our way to the home of a cruel man. But at the same time I wouldn't give up hope… I'd been a Chilra most of my time in what was my home, I would be strong for my friends and help then anyway I could!

A huge shudder ran through the back of the truck as we all heard the engine splutter and then stop… that could only mean one thing.

The back doors were flung open, the sudden light forced us to close our eyes seeing as we couldn't shield them with our hands since they were still tied behind our backs, to my relief it was Kai who had opened the doors.

"All of you get out now, Lord Yuric has gone to change, I will be inducting you into your new jobs," he said. "Hurry up, Lord Yuric will want you working as soon as possible!"

We all stood and filed out, hopping down onto a gravel laden floor that bit into our feet, I took stock of our surroundings; we were outside in some kind of drive way, there was a huge house right in front of us but from the look of it we were at the back, it was beautiful… the house had many windows but had all the curtains drawn, before I could see if there was a garden I felt a gentle shove, Kai was pushing me towards an extension of the house, it seemed to have been built recently.

We were herded to a door which Kai opened and ushered us through, we ended up in a large room filled with a small bench with restraints on the legs, a furnace with several metal rods propped up next to it, a large table with lots of large syringes and bottles of various coloured liquids and a rack on the wall… from it hung whips, belts and sticks… this must be a punishment room…

"In a line boys lets go!" Kai commanded.

I was first in line, TK was second with Cody and Tommy third and fourth place, starting with me the man removed the chains to our ankle cuffs allowing us for the first time in ages to stretch our legs, however Kai gave us a little glare when we got a little overexcited about having free legs again.

"You had all better calm down!"

We all fell silent, placing our hands at our sides, lowering our heads submissively, this seemed to please the man and started walking back and forth in front of us, with a strict look on his face.

"I removed the chains because I was instructed by Lord Yuric have new ones made for you, they will be heavier and will be impossible to break."

I raised my head slightly, "W… Why…?"

Kai stopped in front of Cody and stared back at me.

"Because the Lord wishes it boy! Now be silent!"

His stern words made me quiver and I lowered my head again.

There was a loud sigh from the man, the sound of him moving closer, and then a smooth hand went under my chin and raised my head, Kai knelt down to my eye level, his expression didn't betray any emotion, but yet I saw there was something in his eyes… a warmth that Yuric's didn't have.

"What's your name little one?" he asked.

"A… Amano Noble Lord…"

"Call me Sir, please," his words were calm, almost soothing.

"Yes… Sir…"

"How old are you?"

"E… Eight and a half Sir."

"Before or after?"

I was puzzled by that question, when I didn't reply Kai explained.

"Were you born before the Collapse or after it?"

"I… Before Sir! My brother and I were born before!"

Kai turned to TK, "He is your brother correct?"

"Yes Sir."

"What about the rest of you?"

I raised my hand slightly "S… Sir, why do you want to know our ages and when we were born?"

This time Kai didn't snap at me, he kept his voice cool and controlled.

"Simple; sometimes information gathered by the Chilra Hunters proves to be incorrect, most of the time they just make it up, I want to be sure that the info he has on you is accurate. Now the rest of you, answer my question."

TK went first "E… Eight and Before Sir!"

Then Cody "Nine… and Before Sir!"

And finally Tommy "Nine and Before… Sir!"

Kai nodded and smiled slightly but then he became more serious

"Now boys, whatever life you had before, it would be easier for you to forget it. You are now the property of Lord Yuric, his to treat as he sees fit, if you displease him he will send you back to the market and he will get his money back, if you want to stay here in relative safety work hard and do not anger your Master!"

"Yes Sir!" we all cried in unison.

I raised a shaking hand, Kai looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

"What is it boy?"

"P… Please Sir… we're all very thirsty… please may we have some water?"

"Hmm… you do all look quite dehydrated… very well, there is a bottle of water on the table, I'll get it."

Kai went over and retrieved a large bottle of what looked like water, he handed it to me but I gave it to TK first.

My little 'brother' smiled faintly at me, unscrewed the top and sipped from the bottle, little trickles of water fell from his mouth and traced down his small frame making little clean lines through the filth that covered him. He gave bottle to me and I drank from it, enjoying the wet liquid sooth my parched throat, after I'd finished I gave it to Tommy and once he'd had a drink Cody got his share.

"Thank you Sir!" we all chimed.

"Well I couldn't have you all dying of thirst in the first few hours could I?"

He took the bottle and put it back on the table, then came over to me with a more commanding look on his face.

"Now then Amano, turn around, you will be the first to be inducted."

I did as I was told, Kai removed the leather bonds around my wrists and turned me back round to face him.

"Arms up!"

Again I obeyed, once I'd raised my arms Kai pulled my rag sack off and threw it away. I covered my privates but Kai slapped them away, looking me dead in the eye as he spoke softly.

"Listen to me very carefully Amano, you and your brother are Ero Chilra now, there are things you must never do when you are called to do your job with Lord Yuric. Rule One; never try to fight off the master, no matter how rough or cruel he gets. Rule Two; obey ever order, no matter how twisted or depraved it seems. And Rule Three; never ever try to cover your nudity in any way, you were brought for your body, don't try to hide it."

Even though he was talking to me it was clear this was meant for TK too, I could hear a few soft cries come out of him as Kai told us what we were expected to do for our new master. Once he was finished Kai took me by the arm and led me to the bench.

"Lay down on it and put your hands and feet through the restraints, this is for your protection more than anything else," he said.

I couldn't hide that I was scared of whatever was going to happen, but remembering TK was watching I swallowed my fear and laid myself flat on the bench, slipping my hands and feet through the bonds, they were made of a leather like material like the bonds I had on before but they seemed much stronger. Kai tightened them so I couldn't move, then went over to the furnace and placed one of the rods into the fire.

He turned to the others.

"This is the first part of your induction, to show that you all belong to a Noble Lord, your rear ends will be branded with a E for Ero and W for Worker. It will hurt I won't lie but it will be over quickly."

Hearing I was about to have my rear burned I lost control of my emotions and cried out loudly "No! Please no! Please Sir don't brand me!"

Kai retrieved the now red hot branding iron from the furnace and walked over to me.

"Calm down boy, this will only take a moment…"

He went behind me, I tried turning my head but I couldn't see all the way, deciding it was better to accept my fate rather than fight it I clenched my teeth and squeezed my hands into fists…

And then it happened.

Pain, terrible burning pain, I felt it expand from my left bum cheek until it spread across my whole bottom! I screamed until my lungs hurt, it felt like my skin was being torn off!

"There there, it's done now."

Kai's words didn't completely register in my brain, all I could think of was the searing pain in my backside! I howled and cried on the bench for ages, finally going limp as my energy fled my body.

The next thing I knew I was released from the restraints and pulled off the bench, with the help of Kai I was put back into the line but allowed to kneel not sit, the pain in my rear was still there and I guess the man didn't want to cause me further pain…

"Now it's your turn, little one!"

Kai removed TK's bonds and made him raise his arms so he could strip the boy naked.

He then took hold of TK and dragged him to the bench, my friend was screaming and struggling but he was forced onto the slab of wood, his feet and hands secured as mine had been, and Kai went back to the furnace to place the rod he'd used to brand my bum back in.

As the rod was heated Kai left my 'brother' to cry and beg on the bench while he came over to me and knelt by my side.

"Are you all right little one?"

I managed, through my tears and sobs, to answer.

"It… hurts…"

"I know it does, but don't worry, once TK has been branded I will apply some healing lotion to your bottoms. The pain will fade, you have my word."

This man… I just couldn't understand him. He was hurting us, yet didn't want us to suffer for long, it was almost as if he was… a half decent man.

"Okay… I'll get your brothers branding done, once he calms down I'll let you both have a hug, does that sound good?"

"Y… Yes Sir." I replied.

Kai sighed and went back to the furnace, he took the red hot rod from the flames and went behind TK, who still wept and cried to be let go, but it was all for nothing as Kai placed the hot end of the rod onto the boy's bare left bum cheek.

TK behaved like I did, he howled and yelled at the top of his lungs, I could see little wisps of smoke erupt from my 'brothers' bottom, it made me feel sick to the pit of my tummy, I had to lower my head and close my eyes to block out the sight.

My head was spinning like crazy, my bottom hurt terribly, and my friends were being burnt with the symbol of their slave hood, how could I not feel ill?

"Amano! Come and help your brother off the bench!" Kai ordered loudly.

I opened my eyes, seeing that the scene was finally over I crawled on my hands and feet over to my sobbing wreck of a brother and loosened his bonds, he whined as I helped him off the slab and onto the floor.

"TK… it's over… you're okay…"

"Big brother… ! It hurts so much!" he croaked.

Even though we were both very weak, we stumbled back over to the others and knelt on the floor, embracing in a tight hug.

"You two are very cute." Kai remarked "One moment…"

The man went over to the table laden with the bottles and took one, filled with a weird green looking liquid, he took the cork out and emptied some onto his hand, he walked back to us and motioned us to stand.

TK and I hugged tighter, seeing our reluctance to obey Kai sighed again.

"This is the stuff that will take the pain away boys, but I can't reach your bottoms with you knelt like that…"

Upon hearing those words, us two sore boys got to our feet, Kai went behind us and within a second I felt a cool soothing feeling spread over my rear, I sighed in relief as did TK.

"There we go, you'll both be fine now, the lotion won't sink in fully for an hour or so but once it's gone you will be okay, you can sit if you want it won't rub off."

We did so, the pain indeed was far less than before but I felt a chill run through me, it was freezing cold in the room and we were all starting to feel it, Kai gave me an understanding nod.

"Once we are in the house you'll be warm enough boys."

TK looked up at the man.

"Sir… will we have new clothes?" he asked timidly.

"It depends; if Lord Yuric wants all of you, Ero and Worker, to be naked at all times then that's how it will be. In most noble houses a boy's nudity is a sign that he is a slave and not a free boy. But that Lord Yuric has… different tastes, we will have to see."

He turned and pointed to Tommy.

"Now boy, it's time for your branding!"

"No!" Tommy cried. "I won't let you!"

The brown haired boy bolted straight for the door the led outside, but in the blinding display of speed Kai grabbed hold of Tommy and held him tightly.

"I wouldn't have thought you would be the one to run boy, no matter, you're getting branded and that's that!

Kai tore Tommy's rag sack clean off and ripped the bonds from his wrists, the brown haired boy tried to fight off the large man but was effortlessly dragged over to the bench, laid down and restrained, and within a few minutes our friend was screaming as the burning rod was pressed against his dirt streaked bottom, Kai seemed to press it in harder than he had done with me or TK and that only caused Tommy to cry even louder than we had done, once the branding was over our keeper immediately got Tommy on his feet and threw him against the wall, our friend cried out as he slid to his knee's.

"For trying to run I will not give you the same treatment as your friends here, you will have to endure the pain of your branding, now Cody are you going to undergo this willingly?"

I looked over to our friend, he seemed afraid of the imminent pain, but he straightened up and nodded.

Kai did the same to Cody as he had done to the rest of us; he removed Cody's bonds and rags, took him to the bench and strapped him in, and after heating another W rod pressed it against Cody's flesh.

To my surprise the nine year old didn't scream, but he did let out a few muffled cries, by the time it was over the air was thick with the smell of burnt skin, again I felt the urge to puke… but I didn't luckily.

Kai helped Cody off the bench and gave him the same treatment as he had done to me and TK, when the soothing lotion was rubbed in Cody almost purred, Kai took his time rubbing our friends bottom, he almost seemed to enjoy what he was doing.

"There we are, now you all bear the mark of servitude, I must now go and talk to Lord Yuric to find out what he wants done next. You may all rest for now, but do not try to use the healing lotion on Tommy's bottom while I am gone, the punishment for that will be severe! And don't think I won't know!"

Kai went over to a door at the far end of the room, near the table, opened and went through shutting it behind him.

And then we were alone…

"Tommy… are you okay?"

We all crawled over to our crying friend who was trying to rub away the pain in his bottom, but every time he hissed in pain, Cody put a hand on Tommy's shoulder.

"Why did you do that Tommy? Where would you have run?"

Tommy sobbed and shook his head. "I dunno… I just… I wanna go home!"

Cody sighed at me and TK, it was obvious to all of us now that Tommy wasn't ready to be a Chilra, the rest of us had more or less accepted what we were but our friend just couldn't get it into his head he was a proper slave boy now.

"Our homes are long gone Tommy…" I said, pulling TK over to the wall where we both sat down, the pain in our rears more or less gone now. "… we live here now."

"How can you all just… OW!… accept this?!" Tommy cried angrily as he continued to try and sooth his pain.

"Tommy look; if Amano hadn't have gotten Kai's master to buy us we'd be facing way WAY worse things in the mines. You know what they do to boys down there?" Cody asked, helping Tommy keep steady on his knee's so his burnt behind didn't touch the floor. Our friend shook his head.

"I heard things back in the Pens… Mine Chilra are tortured from the moment they arrive, the guards hit them with whips… punch and kick them until they spit blood… The Pen guards once talked about one boy, not much older than us I think, he tried to run away from the mines after sundown, he got caught within an hour and hauled back to the mine, the Lord there flogged the little boy with a five tailed whip over fifty times, the kid was near death but the Lord had the him healed so he survived the whipping… then he let a gang of five guards rape the boy for hours, they hurt him so bad he was bleeding out his bum… and finally… that kid was hanged in the middle of the mine as a warning to any boy who tried to escape again…"

Tommy's eyes widened in horror "They… killed him?!"

Cody nodded sadly, "Now you think, if we'd been sold to one of those mines, what happened to that little boy could have just happened to you!"

"No!"

Everyone was caught off guard by my outburst.

"Mr Kai wouldn't do something like that to us!"

"Big Brother… how do you know?" TK asked softly.

"There's something different about him TK… He didn't have to put that healing stuff on our bums… he could have let us suffer… and he didn't give Tommy the same treatment only because he tried to run away…"

"You… You're right Amano…" Tommy conceded. "I was scared… wasn't thinking straight."

"Its okay." I smiled weakly. "Look Tommy… I don't wanna see you in pain like this… I can take some of it away?"

Cody shot me a dark look. "Mister Kai said we weren't to give Tommy any of the healing lotion Amano!"

"I know, Cody!" I retorted. "But there is another way… Tommy, lay down on your tummy…"

My naked friend did as I asked and sprawled himself out on the cold floor, I got behind him and leant in until my face was only a few inches away from his bottom.

"What are you gonna… AHH!" Tommy yelped, before he could finish I had started to lick the burned in W on his bum.

It tasted pretty bad, a mix of grime mud and burnt skin, but I put that out of my mind and continued to move my tongue over Tommy's sore spot, adding more saliva to the effect area as I traced around the W in a circular motion.

My friend seemed to enjoy it, sighing as he relaxed his tense muscles, I don't know how long I 'helped' Tommy but all I can say is that by the time I felt the heat in his rear start to subside I had a stiff wiener!

I was getting off on licking Tommy's butt!

Maybe… I was meant to be an Ero all my life, in this world and the one before.

"What is going on here!"

A yell from door nearly made me jump out of my skin, Kai and… the Master were stood there, Kai with a shocked look and Yuric with a face like thunder!

The Master pointed at me, anger etched into his features.

"You're about to learn, disgusting slave, what happens to Chilra who displease their Masters!"
