Inuyasha took a deep breath and looked around. He sighed and went over to the water trough. He got a rusty copper cup and dipped it in the cool black water. As he dipped it in the water it rippled. He didn't know why he liked to watch the ripples. He guessed it meant to him that he did exist. He sighed again drank most of the water then splashed himself with rest. Water droplets trickled down his bare chest and on his back. He shook himself like a dog to rid himself of the excess water. Once dry he went to the tool shed that was locked unless someone needed a tool for their job. He worked in the fields most days, but on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays he sparred with Prince Souta. Today was Thursday.

You could say Inuyasha was one of the luckier slaves. On the days he sparred with the Prince, he got to wear more clothes than normal. Most slaves wore one of two things. Girls had a burlap skirt and a burlap shirt. Prince Souta often complained about the amount of clothes the girls' really needed (you'd think he'd been hanging with Miroku). He would then promptly get walloped by his sister, Princess Kagome. While the guys just wore burlap loin cloths, leaving their chests' bare. The Princess would then complain to the amount guys really needed to wear. Souta would then make a remark about how she was just as bad as he was then she'd screech at him, blushing, then chase them off the terrace overlooking the slave quarters.

He got to wear a baggy red kimono, during the spars. He walked up to the guard barring the door to the supply shed. “You're late,” sneered the guard. Inuyasha said nothing and reached his hand out for the kimono. The guard gave it to him still sneering. He walked back to his cabin and put on the kimono. He sighed, the prince never actually won the spars he just taught him moves so he wouldn't look that foolish when they did spar.

He went out of his hut and walked to HeadVeiw terrace, the terrace that looked over the slave yard. There a guard led him through the tunnels that crisscrossed underneath the terrace. Every meter or so there was a torch burning with golden flames. Inuyasha just stared at the flames remembering the gold and silver he had when he was a pup. Being a prince of the Takashi lands had its perks.

As Inuyasha and the guard wound their way through the labyrinth of tunnels they came across a steep incline that led to the Courtyard of the Kings. They started up the steep incline. The out-of-shape guard started panting heavily about a fourth of the way up. Inuyasha gave the guard an annoyed sideways glance. The guard glared back at him. Once they were at the top the guard heaved over hands on his knees. Inuyasha gave the guard a look that clearly said, “You're a guard if this winds you then you'd be dead if you went into battle.” The guard glared at him then looked up and trudged his way back down to the slave yards. Inuyasha knew why without looking behind him as he watched the guard trip and fall. He snorted and acknowledged the entourage behind him.

 

“You really need to start training them, if they get winded just by walking through a couple hallways,” said Inuyasha with a small laugh in his voice.

“I know, he's a sad excuse for a demon, the only reason he's in the army is because his father's a top general,” sighed the leader of the entourage.

Inuyasha snorted. “Ol' Hakuchi still in the army then?”

“I'm afraid so, but…” He was interrupted by Daifu, “I DO BLEIVE THAT THIS SLAVE HERE HAS TO GO SPAR WITH MY SON, SO IF YOU PLEASE, SHINNYUUSHA, ESCORT HIM TO THE SPARRING ROOM.”

Both Shinnyuusha and Inuyasha flinched. Shinnyuusha quickly put Inuyasha's wrists in chains. No one in the entourage noticed Inuyasha's ears drooped in sadness. Only one person noticed, a spying Princess Kagome…

Shinnyuusha departed to do his other daily duties, so the rest of the entourage led Inuyasha to the sparring room. The entourage left Inuyasha to the guard at the door. The guard at the door removed Inuyasha's chains and gave him a wooden sword.

Suddenly the door burst open, Prince Sota came flying out with a metal sword raised high. He slashed at Inuyasha tearing his kimono and left a long shallow cut. Before Sota could do anymore damage, Inuyasha slammed his wooden sword onto Sota's head creating a large lump. Sota, in pain, dropped his metal sword and held his hands over his wounds and squatted down trying to avoid Inuyasha's wrath. It came alright.

“WHY ARE YOU SUCH AN IDIOT!!!!!!” shouted Inuyasha. “I TOLD YOU NEVER TO USE METAL SWORDS TILL I TOLD YOU TO!!!!!” He raised his wooden sword to strike Sota again, who now was crying hysterically. (He had been sobbing, “Sorry, I'm sorry, please, I'm sorry, please-please don't hit me) Before Inuyasha could bring down his club, a whizzing arrow flew past Inuyasha's head making a large spiritual burn on his neck right under his jawbone. He yelped in pain and his hand immediately flew to the burn trying to stop the burn from spreading and purifying him.

Down the hall with a bow in her hands and a quiver over her shoulder stood Princess Kagome tall and resolute. “HOW COULD YOU HIT MY LITTLE BROTHER!!!!!” screeched an outright pissed of princess. Then she noticed his torn kimono and his cut… and his body. “Oh,” she said more calmly, “I'm sorry I thought you just hit him for no reason and um…” Kagome adverted her eyes from the very enticing scene before her.

Inuyasha's kimono was torn revealing his chest. The shallow cut was bleeding slightly the droplets of blood were slowly crawling down his six pack abs traveling on and staining the fabric around the front of his waist.

“P-please come with me Inuyasha,” Kagome said trying to make amends. “Fine, I guess I over reacted a bit,” replied Inuyasha calmly. Inuyasha first bent down to Sota apologizing, postponing the sparing for a couple of hours.

-X-X-X-X-X-

Inuyasha followed Kagome to the other side of the castle. Neither looking at the other. Inuyasha wondered how much trouble he would get in if Daifu found out. Kagome was thinking along the same lines, but for a different reason. She wondered how much trouble she'd get in for dating/loving/…ing this well developed slave.

For slaves working in the castle there were two rules. 1) Don't contaminate the castle 2) For (guys only) Do not enter by any circumstances enter Kagome's room. This rule however was about to be broken none other by Inuyasha.
