Chapter two - Captive

Kagome gingerly lifted a hand to her head, her hair was sticky with congealed blood and she felt sick, a disgusting smell assailed her senses. She had wet herself at some point when she had been unconscious and the now dried urine had combined with the dirt accumulated over her weeks of captivity. Her stomach lurched both because of the smell and because she remembered who she now 'belonged' to. His name had finally come to her and it was that realization that had caused her to wake.

She carefully opened her eyes, it was dark in the room, not too dark to see but the kind of half-light that makes everything seem oddly alive and frightening. She swung her legs down from the bed and tried to stand but the effort caused a wave of nausea to hit her and she sat back down quickly. " I know you're here Sesshoumaru, tell me where I am": there was no answer only a steady drip of water.

Kagome looked around the room trying to find a weakness that would allow her escape. There was one small window in the far corner but it was heavily barred. A thin stream of evening light fell across the floor, it looked damp, in fact so did the walls green moss grew out from the cracks and yellow slime illuminated the areas where water regularly ran in rivulets to the floor. She could still sense him, he was watching her but she didn't know from where. Her head started to pound as she tried to pinpoint his position. " You bastard, why am I here, you hate humans, if you still think I have the shikon jewel your sadly mistak…" A clawed hand struck her on the side of the face. " It is I Sesshoumaru who asks the questions here, why you are here and what I want is none of your concern Bitch" there was no anger in his voice in fact there was no emotion of any kind as always he was unreadable and cold.

Tears pricked the back of her eyes. The blow had aggravated her head again and she was still aware of the stench, as, it appeared was Sesshoumaru he was trying to control his expression and he looked unusually agitated. Kagome cheered up considerably when she realized the discomfort she was causing the youkai lord, even if the smell was making her feel even more nauseous.

Sesshoumaru regarded the girl in front of him, he had just struck her and expected her to be crying and begging mercy, but instead she had looked momentarily shocked and then amused! He had been watching her from the doorway, which was cast in deep shadow, in her groggy state she had not seen him. He had been tempted to reveal his presence when she had sensed him, but for some reason he had not. It irked him slightly that he had bothered to play games with her, hiding in the corner was not his style and he had never felt inclined to do it before.

Sesshoumaru turned and walked to the door, "I will send someone to you, you will wash and dress then I Sesshoumaru will return. Your smell is revolting to me and I have no desire to talk to a human that can not even control its own bladder", with that he left, she heard the bolt slide across the door and footsteps receding into the distance. Kagome curled up into a tight ball and tried not to cry.
