Chapter 3: A Royals' Slave

 

 

 

 

Early the next morning Sesshoumaru was given a tan hakama which he had to quickly change into. Sesshoumaru had to leave everything at the stadium, including his two swords.

 

Anochi came into Sesshoumaru's cell carrying a collar like chain. “Sesshoumaru, its time to leave, we have to get you to the slave market before the afternoon.” He walked over to Sesshoumaru and took of the necklace. Then he put the chain around his neck. “I'm very sorry Sesshoumaru…” he said sadly then led Sesshoumaru out and onto a cart with a few other youkai. They bowed and looked apologetic. Sesshoumaru nodded. Anochi sat next to Sesshoumaru in the cart, holding the end of his chain. `I feel like a stupid pet' Sesshoumaru thought. Then the cart left the stadium.

 

The slave market in Japan was very big, considering all the large youkai that had to be there. Sesshoumaru stepped out of the cart with Anochi and Anochi took him over to a small hut. There, he was chained to a wall. `I think I have reached a new low' Sesshoumaru thought. Then Anochi spoke “I hope the emperor comes today” Sesshoumaru huffed. After about 5 hours of waiting, the emperor came. “God that is lucky” Anochi whispered to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes, but sat on his legs properly.

 

The emperor looked to be in his 50's, with long black hair and dark purple eyes. Sesshoumaru didn't like the smell of him, he smelt like poison and dead trees.

 

The emperor stared at Sesshoumaru for a few moments then walked up to Anochi. “So they finally caught him.” He whispered then looked at Sesshoumaru again. Anochi didn't pay attention to what the emperor said and started talking about Sesshoumaru's different qualities. The emperor listened and stared at Sesshoumaru a little more. “Hmmm, I guess he'll do, in fact I think this is the best youkai I've seen all day. I think he'll make a wonderful present for my fiancé” The Emperor stated and Anochi bowed.

 

Anochi unchained Sesshoumaru from the wall and whispered “See, I knew you were good enough” Sesshoumaru huffed and stood up. Anochi turned back to the emperor. “The subduing necklaces are out side on hooks, you can choose one.” He said and the emperor left outside, only to come back with a dark violet bead and youkai teeth necklace.

The emperor then paid for the necklace and Sesshoumaru, which was a LOT of yen. Then Sesshoumaru was taken onto a cart and taken to the palace. Anochi waved goodbye. “Oh, my little slave's all grown up.” He whispered then sadly said for the third time “Poor Sesshoumaru”

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

In the palace a hime (princess) was getting ready for her 19th birthday. She had long raven hair and beautiful blue eyes. She would be enjoying her birthday if it wasn't for what had happened last year.

 

::Flashback::

 

“Happy Birthday Kagome!” Kagome's mother yelled happily when the now 18 year old Kagome awoke. “Rise and Shine, we have a special gift for you.” Her mother then ran into her small kitchen.

 

Kagome's family lived in a poor village, but that never stopped them from being happy. Kagome lived with her mother, grandpa, and her little brother Souta. Ever since Kagome learned about her special powers, she trained to become a Miko. Finally, today was when she would finally be the village Miko.

 

Kagome happily got out of bed and walked into the small kitchen/living room of their small hut. There, sitting on the table was a long bow and a Miko outfit. “Wow” Kagome exclaimed as she touched the cloth of the outfit. Her grandfather then started jabbering about all these different things Kagome had no idea about. Her brother and mother hugged her. “Thank you so much” she exclaimed as she hugged them back. Her grandfather kept jabbering.

 

A knock on the wooden frame of the doorway broke the peace as a messenger stepped in. “Message from the Emperor Naraku, for Kagome Higurashi.” The messenger said and handed Kagome a scroll which read:

 

Dear Kagome,

You have been chosen out of the many women of Japan to become my bride. You are to come today and live in the palace. We will get married when you turn the age of 20.

 

Sincerely,

Naraku

 

 

Kagome gasped then let her mother read the scroll. She gasped too “Is this true?” Kagome's mother asked the messenger who nodded. “I am ordered to take her to the royal palace” he answered. Kagome's family helped her pack and her mother cried. Kagome put on the Miko outfit and grabbed her new bow and arrows. She hugged her family good bye then left to the palace.

 

Kagome was scare; she was only 18 and a 48 year old man wanted her as a bride. She worried about her family and village, but it was the emperor who had asked so she had to accept no matter what.

 

The emperor Naraku was waiting in his garden. When he saw Kagome he smiled “Ah, here's my hime” he said happily and kissed her forehead. Kagome grimaced; the emperor wasn't like anything she expected. She thought that he would at least be handsome, but that was now only a dream for Naraku was anything but handsome.

 

Naraku escorted Kagome to her new room which was big and beautiful. Kagome didn't seem to care though. She didn't want to be married to someone she didn't love.

 

A tiara was placed on Kagome's head and a diamond ring on her left hand ring finger. Some girls would think that it would be paradise, but to Kagome, it was hell.

 

When Naraku left the room, Kagome cried until she couldn't cry anymore…

 

 

 

::End Flashback::

 

 

For a year, Naraku had been trying to get to know her. Kagome tried respecting the emperor's choice of her as his bride but a twinge of anger always overcame the respect. Kagome was wearing her Miko outfit again; she didn't wear it much, since she had no reason to wear it. She also wore her tiara which was silver with opals in the middle. Kagome felt like crying.
