Chapter 5

 

Inuyasha sat in the room Naraku had placed him in. Sometime during the car ride he had fallen asleep. He had awakened in this particular room. There were no windows only a single skylight in the ceiling. He was sitting on a twin sized bed which was simple in design and close to the wooden floor. The bed covers were simple in patterns and colors. There was a wooden trunk at the foot of the bed. A simple sliding closet door was on the opposite wall from the bed. It was open to revel that there were a few clothes hung neatly up and below it was a small dresser below it with shoes on top.

 

He could faintly hear scratching noises in the background. He wasn't alarmed until he heard a squeak. He searched around the room until he located the noise coming from the wooden trunk. Slowly he lifted the lid careful not to make any noise. Inside Fatty glared up at him and around her was his old clothes folded neatly into a pile. His favorite ball was also in there.

 

“Squeak!” Fatty demanded that his attention be brought to her being. Her whiskers twitched in annoyance. She must have been in there for awhile.

 

“I'm sorry, Fatty. I don't know what happened. I just woke up.” He spoke in soft tones. He lifted her out of the trunk. He sat on the bed with her on his lap. Gently he stroked her fur.

 

Footsteps made soft pitter patter noises outside the room before it came to a complete stop. Slowly the door opened to reveal an elderly woman which looked to be in her late fifties. She wore a simple dress with a starch white apron. Her graying hair was tied in a neat bun at the back of her head. She carried a bucket of water that had a snowy white towel draped halfway out. On her shoulder she carried another snowy white towel. She silently walked into the room and placed her bucket down. She then turned around to shut the door. All the while little Inuyasha watched her silently.

 

“Put that rat back into the trunk. I'm here to prepare you for dinner.” She spoke as if she rehearsed it a hundred times with that commanding tone. Inuyasha nodded his head before he slowly walked to the end of the bed to place Fatty gently into the trunk. He turned around to see the woman roll up her sleeves. Her skin was pale and her eyes were a soft blue color. This woman did not originate from these parts. Noticing that Inuyasha hadn't moved she walked over to him and carried him to a spot in the middle of the room.

 

“Who are you?” Inuyasha's soft voice whispered to the woman. She began to undress him. This did not bother him simply because his mother would sometimes dress or undress him as she pleased. He didn't really see anything wrong with it. The woman paused.

 

“My name is Maryann Louise Jones. You may call me Ms. Jones. My job is to make sure your clean, well dressed, and whatever the master wishes.” She finished removing the rest of his clothes. She wrung out the towel and proceeded to scrub his skin. “After tonight I will also inform you of your duties and the rules you are to follow.”

 

Inuyasha nodded his head. The water was warm on his skin but not hot. It quickly became cold after she finished scrubbing a certain area leaving goose bumps behind. He watched her frown at the disappearing bruise on his foot that trailed up his leg. She gently patted over it. When she was done she patted him dry with the towel she had draped over her shoulder.

 

“Can Fatty come to dinner?” He asked softly. He observed her for the moment it took her to answer and he realized she was a demon.

 

“No, the rat will remain in the trunk and I shall bring it food. Now let's see…” she walked away from him toward the closet. She picked out an outfit and opened the drawer in order to pull a few items out of there. “You will this outfit and these.” She held out a pair of stockings.

 

She lifted him onto the bed. Kneeling she pulled the stockings onto his feet. She then stood him up to put on the rest of his clothes. She took a brush out of her apron pocket and proceeded to brush his hair.

 

“Ms. Jones, I…” he mumbled over the words he wanted to say. He didn't know how to ask her if he was eating with that scary man known to him as Naraku. Taking his small hand into her own hand she looked him in the eyes. She stood up and led him to the door. She opened it for them and closed it after they went through.

 

“A word of advice child, keep silently unless master Naraku tells you other wise. He will deal out harsh punishments if you misbehave.” She stated calmly as she led him down the hallway. No more was spoken afterwards.

The last period seemed to go by far too quickly for him. The day was Friday and after school he had to go see Naraku. He would not have to work at the various jobs that Naraku assigned him. Tonight he could feel that Naraku had something else planned and he was not looking forward to whatever it was. The whole class was murmuring silently about what they were going to do for the weekend. He gazed lazily out of the window over looking the court yard. A few kids were sitting waiting for the final bell to ring.

 

The teacher which was being ignored by the class wrapped up the days notes. He was some type of math teacher. The math equations the teacher was going over he didn't know. He wasn't paying much very attention. Later he might as well read over the chapter. School work helped him keep his mind off of things. Naraku always smiled at him when he was reading. Why did he do that? Naraku was an enigma to him and yet he dare not question it. The bell rang furiously with all of its glory. The other student quickly left with smiles on their faces.

 

Inuyasha groaned. He needed to get home fast because Naraku timed him. There were harsh consequences if he failed to get there in the allotted time frame. Picking himself out of the seat he excited the classroom. He saw Kagome chatting with Sango and Miroku. He quickly walked by, but it was too late a hand grabbed his sleeve.

 

“Inuyasha, would you like to come with us to get ice cream?” Kagome asked. Inuyasha looked at her and panic began to fill him.
