Summary: A pretty boy bastard prince, two war-prisoners who were once royalty, add a splash of sex, a touch of yaoi, the sexy blond General of the Aulland army, stir in some yuri, shake well, and it comes out something like this. Master/Slave themes.

Authors Notes: I've read numerous master/slave fics, and I have always wanted to try one myself... This is what I came up with. There are two main couples, one shounen ai, one shoujo ai. If either of these makes you squick then... don't read. My best friend Kaizer K-chan and I created the 4 characters quite a while ago but their dynamic looked like it would work well in this fic, so I decided I'd use them. Usually I wouldn't use the same characters over and over, but I wanted to play around with them. Their roles in this story have absolutely no impact on their roles in any of my other stories. Now... I'll just get on with the fic.

Prologue:

"So many pretty... slaves," King Marius Tenragen of Aulland drawled; smirking at his newly delivered still-chained war-prisoners through coolly amused eyes. The contingent consisted almost completely of the alluring virgins that Handur was famous for. Aulland's neighbouring country, Handur had an almost theocratic society, and the youths taken from within her borders were invariably completely untouched, by even themselves.

"What say you Kaiyu?" Marius asked, resting a fatherly hand on the shoulder of the slender, almost sombre youth standing beside him.

"They are very pretty..." The dark haired boy agreed. He was easily as pretty as the slaves he was admiring, with his long almost hip length blue- black hair, exotically slanted violet eyes and willowy almost feminine frame.

Marius laughed, ruffling the boy's hair. He was rather fond of the slight even-tempered adolescent. The boy was his only get on his favourite mistress, an exotic-looking minor noble from a country whose name he had not bothered to learn. "Take your pick. I wish for you to train them for me. You are not inexperienced are you, my son?"

Kaiyu shook his head, a slightly startled light burning behind his eyes. He had never before been given such an important task from his royal father. "No sir. I'll do as you request."

Marius laughed, "That's my boy. Which do you like? Take your time."

Kaiyu ran his eyes appraisingly over the selection, almost surprising himself when his eyes stopped on a pale-skinned, sandy blond haired boy. The boy's fierce gold eyes caught his and held.

"Him," Kaiyu strode towards the slave, thrusting his chin up, "What is your name, boy?"

The boy drew his head back and spat.

"Will! Stop it! Please, he didn't mean it!" A softer female voice beseeched him, a tiny equally pale hand darting out to catch at his sleeve.

Kaiyu turned to the source of the voice and stopped short, identical golden eyes met his as the girl stared at him pleadingly. She was like enough to the boy to be his twin, but too small to be the same age. Her hair was dark, like rich chocolate, and braided it reached the small of her back. Her figure was almost as slender as the boy's was, saving for her barely developed bosom, and her skin was almost snowy white, where it wasn't smudged with dirt.

She was pretty enough, but by no means the most attractive female of the group. Still... given a few years to mature in the right environment...

"What is your name?"

The girl blushed a pale pink, "Princess Sarah Annaleigh Minuette Rhiannon of Handur, sir."

Kaiyu's eyes widened, although he tried to hide his shock, "And your brother?"

Sarah cast a fearful look at her brother, "Prince William Henry Matthew Jonathon."

"I see." Kaiyu stepped back, trying to keep his voice level, "I'd like these two, if it pleases you sir. I should very much like to train them to my whims."

Marius waved his acquiescence of his son's choice, "Of course Kaiyu. Raiymon, if you would be so kind as to collar my son's new toys?"

The sallow-skinned slave-master nodded, and scurried forward to unhitch the prince and princess from the group, before handing their leashes to their new master.

Kaiyu stared at the chained youths for a few seconds before shaking himself out of his daze, "Come slaves."

He noticed the younger looking slender brunette slip her hand into her brothers, but did not chastise them. He'd never had an untrained slave before, and the idea of training not one, but two, to meet his every whim - his every sexual whim - made his cock swell. Untouched virgins, his for the taking.

His smirk widened, this duty his royal father had given him would be a pleasure, and he planned to train these slaves to perfection.

~~~

The soft light streaming in through the open window danced on the pale skin of the two slaves who knelt before their new master. Kaiyu surveyed them from his superior height, noting, to his distaste, that the girl, though compliant enough, was damaged. He'd not had a chance to look at her properly in the throne room, but now, in the privacy of his bed-chamber, he could see that her bangs, barely visible against her pale face, were growing back snow white.

There was a flaw in his slave. He scowled, pulling at one of the short wisps of hair, "What's this then?"

The girls golden eyes widened in fear, but she didn't speak.

"My father punished her. Don't pull it, the scars are still tender." The boy spoke for the first time, his voice fiercely defensive.

It took Kaiyu a few seconds to grasp what the boy had said, but when he did, understanding did not follow, "Why? What had she done?"

The girl whimpered as Kaiyu unconsciously tightened his grip on her hair, "Please... You're hurting me..."

Kaiyu released the strands of hair and glared at the blond expectantly. The boy stared back defiantly, "Sarah... kept a secret from him. As a dutiful daughter she should not have done so."

"I see. Very well then, I shall ignore the scars." Kaiyu raised his chin, trying to keep his composure, "Now, strip."

"I beg your pardon?" Will's voice was harsh, with forced politeness, but the tenseness of his shoulders radiated his fear to Kaiyu.

"Take. Off. Your. Clothes. I want to examine your bodies."

He strode forward to tear off Wills shirt to make his point, but Sarah's whisper stopped him in his tracks, "Please sir, will you turn around then? It is improper for a lady to disrobe in the presence of any save for her husband."

Will scowled, eyes flickering worriedly from Sarah to Kaiyu, "Don't ask her to do that. She's only a child, surely you can see that?"

Kaiyu paused thoughtfully, "Sarah, there is a bathing room through that door, I would like you to clean yourself. You may dry yourself with any of the towels you like. I shall bring you clean clothes shortly."

Sarah disappeared through the doorway and Will met his Master's eyes, grudging appreciation shining in his golden eyes, "Thank you."

Kaiyu shrugged, "I excused her, not you. If you are thankful you will undress without being forced."

Will tore his eyes away, stripping off his clothes methodically until he stood naked before the blue-haired boy, his bruised pale skin no longer hidden by his clothes.

Kaiyu stared unashamedly, taking in the boy from the top of his messy blond hair, down his boyishly slender chest, lingering on his nicely shaped package covered in downy blond curls, before travelling down the well shaped legs. Exotically beautiful, and completely untouched, oh yes. Kaiyu's arousal grew, and without stopping to consider his actions, he ran a slender finger down the boys chest teasingly.

Wills breathing hitched, and his golden eyes widened. Pale cheeks flushed to a dark pink as Kaiyu lightly let the one finger become two, and then a hand, which lightly stroked the other boys untouched cock. Will pushed him, hard, cheeks still flushed, "Please don't do that. I'll do anything... just not that."

Kaiyu felt his arousal dissipate to a more manageable level in the face of the boys obvious fear. "Very well. Follow me, there is another bathroom down the hall."

Will reached out to touch the older boys arm, "May I cover my body with something?"

Kaiyu snorted, "I don't see why you feel the need. You're not altogether unpleasant looking, beneath the dirt and bruises."

Will coloured, "There's such a thing as modesty, although your country seems to sorely lack it."

"I've never seen much use for it myself, and the sooner you dispense with it, the sooner you'll find out just how pleasurable life can be." Kaiyu ran his eyes deliberately back down the other boy's body, delighting in seeing the colour on his cheeks deepen, and spread to the tips of his ears.

"Please, a towel? Anything?"

Kaiyu rolled his eyes, "Very well."

Will stared as Kaiyu shrugged off his long jacket and draped it over the smaller boys shoulders almost affectionately.

"...Thank you."

Kaiyu flashed the younger blond a smile; "I'll give you some privacy to clean yourself, since that seems to be so important to you. There is a towel next to the tub, which you can use to dry yourself, and cover yourself when you return to my bedchamber. Clean yourself well, and I shall see about finding you an outfit which befits your pretty looks, my pet."

The affection, which the blond had almost felt for his master, disappeared, and he scowled, "I'm not your pet!"

"Oh but you will be," Kaiyu smirked as they reached the bathroom, pulling his new slave into a possessive embrace, "Mine, and mine alone."

The blonds cheeks flushed, "G-get off of me you-you sodomite! The Lord shall strike you down and your blood shall..."

Kaiyu covered the boys mouth with his own, stopping the words with his tongue, and tasting the boys exquisitely innocent mouth. The blond struggled, but where his lower body was pressed flush against Kaiyu's thigh, his enjoyment was evident.

Will finally managed to shove him away, "If a man lieth with another man as he lieth with a woman-"

Kaiyu cut him off again, "Hush. Just enjoy it pet. Bathe now, and return to my bedchamber when you are clean. You're my slave, and by the time I am finished with you, you will like being my slave."

"I'll never like being your slave, and I'll never like you!"

"No pet, because by the time I'm through, you won't like me, you'll have fallen head over heels in love with me." Kaiyu's arrogant smirk taunted Will carelessly.

"Get out!" The blond screamed, all previous composure gone. Kaiyu flipped his hair over his shoulder as he left, giving the boy one last lingering look before he did as he had been instructed by the once Prince of Handur.

~~~

Sarah shivered as she knelt in the shoulder-high lukewarm water, delicately washing over her pale skin with the sopping wash-cloth that had been waiting for her. The lashes on her back stang, her fathers punishment when he caught her sketching one of the maidservants who'd worked in the palace.

They were old, at least a month, but they'd not been treated, and she feared they'd festered during her time in captivity.

She had not deluded herself into expecting or even wishing for rescue. She was merely an unwanted princess. Will was not the crown-prince, and her father would never be desperate enough to pay for their return. Will was a flawed son, nothing like Joel.

Dark gold eyes fixed on the wall, and Sarah switched positions so that she could draw her knees up to her chest protectively.

"Ah, still in the tub I see," Kaiyu let his eyes trace what was visible of the girls body, the tips of her pale knees, her shoulders, the creamy expanse of neck. Her hip-length hair was loose from the braid she had worn it in, and it fell around her, clinging to her skin, and moving gently as the water in the tub lapped with the girls movements.

She had a fragile beauty - a virgin's beauty - a rare trait in Aulland, and rarer still in her slaves. Two steps brought him to the tub, and he extended a hand to the girl, "The water is surely growing cold. Come, hop out now. Let me find you some clean clothes."

The girl stared at him from under unintentionally seductive lowered lashes, "I-I beg your pardon sir?"

Kaiyu smiled, and in one smooth movement picked the girl up as though she were a babe, or a bride, "We'll start with that, my name is Kaiyu. And yours?"

"I-I told you," The girls voice was higher pitched then normal, and her eyes were wide with fear, "I am Princess Sarah Ann-"

Kaiyu cut her off, just as he'd cut her brother off earlier, sealing his lips over hers, "I am aware of your title, I wish to know your name. What would you like to be called?"

Sarah blinked at him, in mute incomprehension, "I... don't understand..."

Kaiyu smirked, setting her on the bed, and removed his damp shirt, "You aren't in Handur any more, you can be anyone you want to be. You're not a princess any more."

Sarah's eyes widened, almost wonderingly, "I-I'm not...?"

"You are whoever you wish to be, my pretty flower."

"W-will you give me a new name then?" Sarah gazed at the blue-haired boy almost hopefully.

"Sedra then, Sedra Wilder." Kaiyu's fingers tangled in her hair, angling her head upwards.

Sarah's brows wrinkled as she tried the name, rolling it about in her mouth, "Sedra Wilder."

"Perfect," Kaiyu's lips came crashing down on hers once again, eliciting a moan from the pubescent girl. "Would you like me to brush your hair. I can braid it for you again?"

Golden eyes met his, and the girl laughed, a mocking laugh, that he would not have expected from her, "No, but I could use a dagger or something, it's really quite impractical to have hair this length, unless it's kept braided, and, well, Sedra doesn't braid her hair."

Kaiyu blinked, "But you're Sedra."

Sedra nodded, "Yes, and I don't braid my hair. Knife?"

Kaiyu wordlessly handed the girl the dagger he carried in his belt. The girl parted her hair, twisting it into two messy pigtails, before hacking both off, just below her ears.

The long strands of hair fell to the floor, all but forgotten by the girl who smiled and returned Kaiyu's knife, before running her fingers through her much shorter hair, no sign of remorse evident.

"What do you think?" The girl smiled at him, her eyes seemed larger and her lips poutier, with the new haircut. It didn't look good exactly, but it didn't look bad either.

"I think you look... different..." Kaiyu slunk forwards, and was surprised when the naked girl met him halfway.

"Princess Sarah is dead, but I'm willing to learn anything you want to teach me. From now on, I'm Sedra."

"Sarah...?" Wills horrified voice cut through the room like a whip-crack.

Sedra turned, eyes lidded lazily, "No... Princess Sarah... is dead. And she's never, ever, coming back again. I'm Sedra."

"That you are," Kaiyu, pulled the girl close, one hand cupping her small breast, the other resting firmly on her hip, "So pet, care to join Sedra and I in bed?"

Will's golden eyes never left the pair, "You... asshole..."

Kaiyu smirked, releasing the girl, and stalking closer the boy, "Why thank you." He bent to remove his shoes, then his breeches, until he was as naked as the girl who lay, innocently seductive on his bed. "Are you coming?"

The boy stared at him, face flushed with a mixture of anger and embarrassment, "Fine. Just don't touch her."

Kaiyu smirked, pulling the lithe blond into his embrace, and sucked at his exposed neck. "Whatever you say."

He didn't bother to find clothes, he was comfortable without, and if he was going to be sharing his bed, he didn't want his slaves to be clothed either.

He pulled back the coverlet and climbed in, pulling the girl under with him, until she was nestled comfortably against him. Will stared at them for a few seconds, before climbing in as well. He tried to stay as stiff as possible, but when the blue-haired boy wrapped his lightly muscled arm around Will's waist; the blond couldn't stop his body from relaxing into the hold. By the time morning rolled around his body had surrendered completely, and was entwined with the blue haired boys as utterly as his younger sisters had been from the second she climbed into the bed.

Authors Notes: Well, I'm not sure quite how well this worked, but I like it, so I figure if it gets an okay response I'll continue it. I know, another fic, I should finish the ones I've started, but... I'm working on it. Slowly but surely. Tell me what you think, and I'll get to work on more.
