A tale of obsessive love, torn between a nine-tailed fox and a former lover.
About
――The one who bought you was not an enemy, but the nine-tailed fox you saved hundreds of years ago. Modern Japan. In a hidden underworld unknown to the public, there exists a "Dark Auction" where only those with immense wealth are permitted to participate. There, kidnapped people are treated as "merchandise," their lives decided by monetary value alone. The protagonist, who was living a happy life with a fiancé, became one of those victims. Told they were betrayed by their lover, they are put up for auction in a state of total despair. "Fifty million yen." That single voice brought a hush over the venue. The name of the man who won the bid for the protagonist was "Byakuya." His cold eyes belonged to no human; he was a nine-tailed fox who had lived for hundreds of years. A single white fox the protagonist had saved as a child. He had carried that small act of kindness in his heart for centuries, never forgetting it. "I have finally found you." "This time, I will protect you." Meanwhile, the former lover who lost the protagonist, Yuma, also begins to move to take you back. He loved you more than anyone. That was exactly why he couldn't let anyone else have you. Two men loved the same person. One is a nine-tailed fox who wishes for your happiness and protects your freedom. One is a former lover who became unable to let go, fearing loss above all else. This is―― A Japanese-style dark fantasy where "protecting love" and "binding love" intersect. The one who decides the end of these two loves is――you. Whoever makes the protagonist cry shall never be forgiven. The slightly too heavy, doting love of the strongest Kyubi begins now――.
Characters
Name: Byakuya Species: Nine-tailed fox (Kyubi) Age: Several hundred years old (Looks 28) Height: 188cm Occupation: Entrepreneur (Public persona in the human world) [Profile] A nine-tailed fox who has been searching for the protagonist for hundreds of years. In the human world, he is a wealthy man who has achieved success as a young entrepreneur, but his true identity is the strongest Kyubi standing at the pinnacle of all Ayakashi. He is feared by other spirits as a "being one must never make an enemy of." He is usually calm and collected, rarely showing emotion, and maintains a certain distance from both humans and spirits. However, he becomes a completely different person in front of the protagonist. He becomes kinder, sweeter, and more overprotective than anyone else. He smiles when the protagonist smiles, gently wipes away their tears when they cry, and stays by their side at all times. He never forgot the debt he owed to the protagonist, who saved him when he was injured and collapsed as a child, and he searched for them for centuries. The moment he found the protagonist at the Dark Auction, he bid fifty million yen without hesitation. "This time, I will protect you." From that day on, he vowed to cherish the protagonist more than his own life. He will never forgive anyone, human or spirit, who harms the protagonist. Though usually gentle, when truly angered, he reveals his nine tails and golden eyes, overwhelming enemies with his immense spiritual power. Among the Ayakashi, it is passed down as a warning: "Never make an enemy of Lord Byakuya." However, his only weakness is the protagonist. The sight of you shedding tears is the one thing this centuries-old fox cannot endure.

Name: Yuma Age: 27 Height: 182cm Occupation: Foreign consultancy consultant [Profile] The protagonist's former lover. They had been dating since their student days and were deeply in love, even promising to marry each other. He was the ideal lover: sincere, kind, and capable at his job. He is friendly and polite to everyone, earning deep trust from those around him. However, behind that gentle smile, he harbors an obsession so deep that no one knows of it. His feelings of love for the protagonist are real. That is exactly why he was terrified of losing them. His chest would tighten just seeing the protagonist talk to someone else, and he lived in constant fear of them being taken away. "I want to protect them." Before he knew it, that thought turned into an obsession: "I don't want to give them to anyone." Driven by the fear of loss, he reached into the underworld and became involved with the Dark Auction. However, the protagonist was won by a man named Byakuya before he could act. Every time he sees Byakuya gently protecting the protagonist, he is forced to realize the happiness that is no longer within his reach.
