Chapter 1: Meeting and Interesting Hanyou

 

 

 

Tonight is a very special night for me…though I dread it so much I feel the need to vomit just thinking about it. I must sell my virginity to the highest bidder tonight; such is the life of a geisha. Once I sell my virginity I shall become a true geisha and my debt at my okiya will be finished. If my father had been stronger maybe I could have lived out the life I was meant to at the family shrine…instead of being forced to entertain such unruly men of war.

 

My name is Kagome Higurashi…I was raised on my family shrine, completely unawares to the racking up debts my father was creating through trying to keep up the place. When I turned 8 I was sold to an okiya in the village to the north of my village. The woman who I was sold to was cold and just wanted the money I would eventually bring in when I became a geisha. She didn't like my personality though she always blamed my eyes…they are an iridescent gray, sometimes blue depending on the light, that reminded her of how much water was in me. I am strong willed like a river and no matter what path I am lead down I cut a great gap and surge on. She didn't want a strong willed geisha …she wanted someone she could control.

 

 

 

“Kagome!” called the stern voice of her master, Kikyou Negura. The owner of the okiya was a former geisha herself. Kagome was to become the newest geisha, once she sold her virginity. The only full geisha at the okiya now a days was Sango…she was to be adopted by Kikyou to run the okiya soon but for some reason Kikyou was not so quick to take on such an heir for Sango did not like Kikyou at all mainly because she saw the abuse Kagome went through just because of her gray eyes.

 

Kagome looked at herself in the mirror blankly for a minute longer, deciding Kikyou could wait since she was about to take a major step tonight and didn't feel ready. Her white painted face was stark against her blood red lips, the black eye liner contrasted starkly with her eyes that had a blue tint in the shallow light of the room. Kagome stared into her own eyes after studying her long black hair done up ornamentally in an elegant bun. She had beautiful jade clips in her hair and a chopstick that stuck into the bun; it had hanging sakura blossoms off the wooden stick that swayed when she moved. Kikyou screamed for her again and with a sigh the apprentice geisha stood gracefully and walked across the wooden floors with her white socks. She came to the step leading down to the exit all and she stepped down into the zori sandals that awaited her.

 

Kagome walked out into the cool fall night air to see Sango and Kikyou standing there looking at her expectantly. Sango looked on in concern, remembering the night she sold her virginity, and Kikyou had a piercing glare pointed at the young girl of 15.

 

“Sango! Make sure she only gives these to the two wealthiest men that are interested. Understand?” Kikyou snapped to Sango giving Sango two red boxes that fit in each palm and were decorated with a small gift inside for the men who Kagome was to ask to bid for her virginity. She would have to give one to each man who would most likely bid for her in hopes they would each bid so eagerly that the price for her virginity would rise drastically.

 

Kagome got in the cart with Sango and as the driver lifted the poles and began to trot down the street to their destination Sango hugged the young girl. “Don't worry Kagome…just get someone rich to bid for you and you might be able to lose your debt sooner than expected alright?” Sango tried to ease the girl's mind but it was no good.

 

 

 

The geisha and soon-to-be geisha arrived at the tea house where many wealthy men came for entertainment. The evening seemed to pass normally. Kagome talked to the elderly men genially and made them laugh with quick wit and told them stories of her youth that deeply entertained. Sango instructed her to slip one box to a slightly perverted looking man who was the general in some arm to the south who was visiting. Kagome winced slightly when hearing her instructions and looked at the man who sort of scared her. She took a steadying breath and while talking to him she patted his leg and left the box after removing her hand.

 

The man felt the weight of the box and smirked at Kagome knowing what it meant. Kagome went on with the evening and saw another man eyeing her and she saw Sango study him for his worth. Kagome excused herself briefly from the group and stood to leave the room for a minute.

 

Kagome opened the shoji door and stepped out she shut the door behind her, cutting off the sounds of laughter. She walked away a little and was surprised when the door to the tea house/inn burst open and a man a few years older than her, maybe 20 years old, stepped in. He looked at Kagome and Kagome noticed his strange features.

 

Golden eyes stared at her intensely. A scowled pulled at the handsomely tanned face. Long silver hair floated down his back, he wore a red kimono that was drenched, like his hair, from the rain and he wore no shoes and had a sword at his hip. Kagome was curious about this stranger, especially when she caught sight of twitching dog ears atop his head. `Is he a bodyguard to one of the men back there?' Kagome wondered. `No…he's a demon I think…no doubt about that…my, he's handsome.' Kagome blushed prettily and bowed to the tall man gracefully.

 

“Hello…welcome to Okiyoko tea house.” Kagome greeted friendly. The man blinked at her for a minute suspiciously. “Um…do you wish to join me with a party just in that room over there?” asked Kagome hopefully, indicating the room she just left. The man glanced at the door and then down at her. Kagome was so curious she had to know more about this man.

 

“No. But you may join my party in that room…” he indicated a room a little down the hall. Kagome blushed under the white makeup at his suggestion. Kagome stepped towards him a little.

 

“May I know your name first?” she asked shyly.

 

The man hesitated. “I don't like you humans Im only inviting you because my friend might enjoy you.” He growled out in his deep voice. Kagome looked put out by his obvious rejection. She turned to walk back to her room but the second she reached for the door his clawed demonic hand latched onto her wrist and pulled her back away from the door. “Oi! If you fuckin' want company then you can do that stuff with Miroku, just cause I don't want to talk to you doesn't mean you gotta leave.” He growled, he didn't know what possessed him to grab the girl but the thought of her leaving bother him for some reason.

 

Kagome turned and smiled at him. “I just wanted to talk to you…if you don't want to talk then I should head back to my party.” Kagome turned to leave but he refused to release her wrist. Hearing her say that she just wanted to talk to him had a strange impact on him.

 

“Inuyasha!” he blurted out suddenly. Kagome looked up at him curiously. “My name I mean…it's Inuyasha…” When Kagome continued to stare at him in surprise he got impatient. “NOW will you come with me?” Inuyasha growled. Kagome nodded meekly and allowed the hanyou Inuyasha to drag her to the other room.

 

When they entered she found it to be a party for demons. She saw demons of all kind there, all except one man who was human. Half the room was filled with wolf demons she noted, their leader sat at one end of the table on an ornamental cushion. The other demons and the human were on the other half of the table, there were all kinds there but Kagome could sense a similar aura in them that she felt in Inuyasha. She couldn't tell what the difference was between them and the wolves but there was a difference.

 

Kagome gently glided along the floor to where Inuyasha chose to sit which happened to be on the second ornamental cushion across from the head wolf. `So he's the leader of this motley crew?' she thought pensively. She sat down on a cushion beside him and also next to the human. She was surprised when the human leered at her with a perverted yet playful grin and then looked to Inuyasha.

 

“Decided to bring a geisha huh? Good idea Inuyasha…she can help the negotiations pass by quicker.” The man said to Inuyasha who looked confused as to what he meant. “Now why don't you go tend to the head wolf demon over there?” Miroku prodded to Kagome encouragingly. Kagome didn't want to leave Inuyasha when around so many demonic men. She was relieved by Inuyasha's next words.

 

“She stays here by me monk…and if I catch YOU touching her Im slicing off one of your arms you hear?” Inuyasha growled. Kagome smiled slightly at the nervous look on the human man, Miroku's, face. Kagome picked up a tea pot on the table with a slender hand, quite aware that almost every male in the room was staring. She smiled up at Inuyasha and offered him a drink. Inuyasha quickly looked away from staring at her and snorted a “Feh!” Kagome smiled wider and poured the drink in a small cup.

 

She lifted it with practiced grace and offered it to the half demon. Inuyasha grunted what she assumed to be a thanks and took the cup.

 

“No Koga. Do you not remember our deal from two springs ago?” asked Inuyasha in forced politeness that didn't seem to suit him at all. Koga glared at Inuyasha.

 

“You know I do mutt. But your clansmen came onto my territory with out permission so I felt duly obligated to come onto your lands and hunt some of your game as compensation for what that half breed took!” Koga growled back while pointing at what appeared to be a fox demon. Then Kagome realized the difference between Inuyasha's demons and Koga's. Inuyasha's group was all half demons. This surprised her greatly, half demons were SO RARE. `Doest that mean Inuyasha is one too?' she wondered looking up at the hanyou.

 

“Feh! He was not part of my clan then and just because he joined my clan after hunting in your territory does not give you the right to bring your scrawny wolves onto MY land!” Inuyasha snarled at the wolf in return. “Know this Koga I have never allowed any of my clan to go into your lands and I expect you to respect my lands or I will have to just claim your lands like I should have done 50 years ago you understand me?” Inuyasha growled. Koga returned the growl and after casting a death glare to the fox hanyou the wolf demon stood. Kagome noticed him glance at her and then left with a rush of wind. Once all the wolf demons were gone the tension in the room died down some.

 

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha curiously. “Are you alright Inuyasha?” she asked concerned by his heavy breathing and face flushed in anger. Inuyasha blinked and looked down at Kagome.

 

“Feh! Im fine. That stupid wolf doesn't know who he's messin' with.” Inuyasha scoffed. Kagome giggled at his attitude.

 

“Where did you get the geisha Inuyasha? I would have thought she would be with that group of human war generals in the other room.” A cat hanyou called out. Kagome blinked and looked away with a frown.

 

“Was that the party you invited me to? Human war generals?” Inuyasha asked with a frown. Kagome winced at his tone. She should have realized that inviting a demon to a party of humans would be awkward.

 

“I'm sorry…I wasn't thinking when I said that…I just wanted to know more about you.” She whispered the last part as if hoping no one would hear her but her comment was followed by hoots and cat calls from the rowdy half demon males in the room. Inuyasha glared at his companions and quickly stood waving for the blushing Kagome to follow. Kagome followed him out into the hall way and reached into her kimono. She pulled out the red box and looked up at Inuyasha hopefully.

 

“Those idiots…don't mind them they are just horny from being away from their mates for over a month.” Inuyasha shrugged. Kagome held the box behind her back and suddenly dreaded the thought of Inuyasha having a mate. Inuyasha eyed Kagome expectantly for a response.

 

“I-I…it's fine…um…thank you for letting me join your party Inuyasha…I'm about to be receiving bids for my most valuable possession soon and it was nice to be around such interesting people for once…Im always given human clients and being around demons was quite interesting…” Inuyasha knew what valuable possession geishas have biddings for and felt his heart sink, for some strange reason. But he felt heat suddenly rush through him when she gave him the small red box shyly. Inuyasha took it dumbly and looked at the shy little human girl. Kagome felt her face heat up suddenly and she turned around to go back to Sango when she was stopped by Inuyasha's voice.

 

“What's your name?” asked Inuyasha seriously. Kagome looked over her shoulder at him and smiled.

 

“Kagome…”
