Title: Concubine
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 321
Pairing: Alanna/ Jon
Round/Fight: 1A
Summary: Odd AU somewhat inspired by The Waiting Years (Enchi), Jon is the master of the house and Alanna (not a noble) his newest concubine. Not actually set in a Japanese culture, however, because I am ignorant of useful historical points and would probably awfully botch it. Also, Coram, I'm so sorry for making you cruel >_<
Warnings: mentioned suicide, slavery/concubines

She was new in the household – the master had liked her unusual fiery hair and violet eyes, but mostly her well-muscled form, all too starkly on display before his discerning blue eyes. The master had chosen her, but his advisor approved, and even the mistress of the house agreed.
This surprised her the most, but it was the gracious mistress who introduced her to the household, saw that she was fed and led her to the room that would be hers.
When the master came to her chambers that first night, she had been surprised to find it only for company, to talk. He wanted to know her story, and she obliged. Time had worn away the pain, but she was just resentful enough that she could happily throw her story in the face of her owners.
Her mother had died in childbirth, leaving her and her brother to a grieving and struggling farmer. When he hanged himself, the local blacksmith apprenticed the pair, hardly able to tear them apart. But times became difficult and work dwindled. Soon the blacksmith had no use for the girl, and sold her to slavery for some extra coin. Never quite settling into a household or role, she passed through the hands of many traders and owners, some kinder, some more cruel.
Now, for the first time, a pleasure slave, collar replaced with a pregnancy charm, waiting for orders. This had been something she had long hoped to avoid, and indeed, few had seemed interested in a girl who’d seen the whip too often. But the master with the sapphire eyes overlooked that, even offered himself to tend any injuries, heal and ease old scars.
He promised many kind things – few of which she believed – but it surprised her that although she had been bought as a body to be used, for the first time since she was free, Alanna was treated like a human.

Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown!
