She is the Shikon no Tama!

The words echoed in the night and then everything was silent. Inuyasha pushed Rin aside, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the girls again.

It couldn't possibly be true. They're just humans.

He took a step forward and Rin stood between him and Kagome and Sango.

- Inuyasha, please, believe me, - she asked.

- Why should I? If you are lying just to save those bitches… - Inuyasha said with a hint of threat in his voice.

- No! I can feel it inside of her! The Shikon no Tama!

- That doesn't prove anything.

Rin was starting to feel weak, the wound was hurting her. I'm going to faint now, she thought, rallying her flagging strength, but before I need to save them.

- Ugh, just think about it, Inuyasha… - she murmured. - the arrows… how could a human kill demons so easily… it is the power of… the jewel…

- So, the one with the bow… - Inuyasha was thinking over what Rin had just said. Could he believe her? Or was she just lying to him? If so, the girl would pay for that. But what if it was true?

- We'll just have to find that out, - he thought.

At this moment strength left Rin and she slowly sank to the ground.

- Rin! - shouted Kagome and ran to the motionless girl.

- Kagome! No! Don't! - yelled Sango. But Kagome already kneeled near Rin and threw Inuyasha a furious glance.

- What the hell have you done to her, demon?

Instead of answering, he lifted his hand and the last thing Kagome saw before she blacked out were long sharp claws.

***

Kagome awoke from the feeling of being watched. She opened her eyes to see that she was sitting in a large armchair with her hands and legs tied with a rope.

It took her some time to recall the events that probably brought to this. She let out a slight groan of anger. Damn that fucking demon! But where the hell is she now?

Kagome looked around the large dark-red room and saw her friend Sango, lying in the next chair. Her hands and legs were also tied with a rope.

- Sango, you OK? - called Kagome, but got no answer.

- She's still out, - whispered Rin, who was sitting in the corner of a big sofa. She wasn't tied up, but didn't move.

- Rin… Oh, Kami, you're alive… how is your wound?

- It hurts. But I can stand it.

- Geez, you need a doctor!

Rin lowered her head.

- It's for my master to decide, - she whispered.

Kagome understood, that it was painful for Rin to talk about it, so she asked her another question:

- So who's the weird looking guy with silver hair? You know him?

- It's Inuyasha. The Lord of the eastern demons. This part of the city is his territory.

- And what's with the dog-ears?

- Oh, - Rin smiled. - He's a dog-demon. And a very powerful one…

- Yea, I got the idea…

- Kagome! Rin! What the hell is this place? - Sango was awake at last.

- I dunno!

- We're probably in Inuyasha's mansion, - said Rin. - I have been here before a couple of times. It's really huge, like a castle. Some rooms are even bigger than this one.

- Bigger? Ha-ha, very funny, - said Sango. - Are you talking about ball-rooms for elephants or what?

The door opened and Inuyasha with an old woman came into the room.

- Ayou, Inuyasha! - exclaimed the woman. - Since when do you kidnap little girls?!

- Little girls? Is she talking about us? - whispered Sango indignantly. Kagome nodded.

- Just do your stuff, Kaede. The one over there, - he pointed at Kagome.

The old woman sighed and came to the girl, who tried to rise from the armchair.

- Now, now, child. There's no need to be worried. My name is Kaede and I am a healer, - the old woman smiled kindly and put a hand on the girls' forehead. After a minute she removed it and turned to Inuyasha.

- It is so. The Shikon no Tama is inside of her. I would say, that it became an integral part of her.

- Hey, are you saying that I have something inside of me? - asked Kagome. - Uh, gross!

Sango giggled.

- What is this shikon whatever thing anyway? - she asked.

- The Jewel of Four Souls is a powerful... - started the old woman.

- That will be enough for them to know, Kaede, - said Inuyasha. - You can go now.

But instead Kaede turned to the girl on the sofa.

- Oh, Rin, is that you? - she came closer. - Oh, Kami! You're wounded! Let me see that… hound's bites! Inuyasha! How could you let this happen! Does it hurt? Ayou, you need immediate treatment child! - she set near the girl on the sofa.

There was a knock on the door and two men walked into the room. One of them was monk, the other looked a lot like Inuyasha, but more mature. And his eyes seemed to be made of golden ice. There were crimson streaks on his cheeks and a crescent moon on his forehead.

Kagome heard like Rin gasped and looked in surprise at the girl, who was trying to cower as deep into the corner of the sofa as possible.

- Could it be, that that guy is her master? - thought Kagome.

- So, Inuyasha, is it true? - asked the monk with interest. - Which one of them is it?

- Kaede said, that she has the Shikon no Tama inside, - Inuyasha pointed at Kagome.

The monk smiled to her and Sango.

- It is a pleasure meeting you, ladies. My name is Miroku and may I say that you are very beautiful.

- I think he's a pervert, - whispered Sango to Kagome.

- Yep, I got the same impression.

Then the other man spoke:

- What is it I hear, otouto? The Shikon no Tama inside of a… human? - he said the last word as if it was a curse.

- That's the fact, Sesshomaru.

- Then cut the bitch and get it out.

- WHAT?! - yelled Kagome. - YOU JUST TRY!!!! AND MY NAME IS NOT BITCH IT'S KAGOME!!!!

- Stop yelling already, bitch, - said Inuyasha. - I don't do that kind of surgeries. I just kill people, get it?

- Inuyasha! That's what I've been trying to tell you! - exclaimed Kaede. - You can't kill this girl as long as the Shikon no Tama is a part of her. It's will protect it's owner! And you know that the Jewel has enough power for that!

- Wow! Does that mean I'm gonna like… get alive out of this shit?! - thought Kagome to herself. - Oh happy me!

- But if I can't kill her… WHAT TO I DO WITH THIS BITCH??????

- IT'S KA-GO-ME!!!

The demon growled and Kagome quickly shut her mouth.

- Now don't get nervous Inuyasha, - said Miroku cheerfully. - I'm sure we'll find a… ehm… bloodless way out of this situation.

- If you leave her alive, then you'll get problems with Naraku, otouto. You know that he's after the Jewel, - spoke Sesshomaru.

- Keh! I don't care about that asshole. What bothers me is what to do with this wench.

- Hey, that's my life! You have no right to decide about it!!!

- In here, - Inuyasha smirked. - I have all the rights and you have none. So be quiet bitch, I'm trying to think.

- Oh that must be real hard for you!

- Why don't you keep her, - suggested Sesshomaru sarcastically.

After a moment Inuyasha nodded.

- That's probably the best way, - he said slowly.

Kagome looked shocked.

- But… but you can't! - she tried to protest. - I have a family, a life to live! It's just… not fair!

The demon came to the armchair, where she was sitting, and caught Kagomes chin with his fingers, turning her face up to meet his.

- One more word and I'll keep you as a whore. Get it? - he said almost tenderly.

- Ye-yes.

The amber eyes were examining her face for a second. Then he let her go and turned to Sesshomaru.

- So, I did what you asked for. Now we're quits.

Sesshomaru nodded.

- Get up, Rin, - there was ice in his voice and illusory sweetness. - We're leaving.

The girl tried to get up from the sofa, but was too weak to do it. Pain in her left side made Rin gasp through clenched teeth.

Sesshomaru was watching her pathetic attempts with cold indifference.

- Enough! - said Kaede, rising from her place. - Rin is hurt! She can't move. Let her stay here for some days and I'll heal her!

- Get up, Rin, - repeated Sesshomaru, paying no attention to Kaede's words.

- Geez, Sesshomaru, you'll kill her that way! - remarked Inuyasha.

- It's none of your business what I do to my property. So stay out of this.

- She is not your property!!!! - yelled Kagome and Sango in chorus.

Inuyasha barked out a laugh.

- Remember what I warned you about, bitch? - he asked slowly.

- Oh, that… uh… - Kagome swallowed. - OK, I'm quiet.

- Good, and stay like that… Now, Sesshomaru, let the girl stay here. We'll watch her so she won't run away. It won't take long for those wounds to heal - Kaede knows her job… Otherwise, Rin will die.

Sesshomaru remained silent for a moment, then nodded abruptly.

Kaede helped Rin, who wasn't moving at all during the conversation, to get up from the sofa and supporting her, led the girl out of the room.

- Now I await your explanations, otouto, - demanded Sesshomaru with a wry grin. - I don't remember telling you to bring Rin back dead or alive.

- Well it wasn't my fault! The hounds were suppose to look out for demon hunters, and Rin just got in their way, - and after a pause Inuyasha added, pointing at Kagome and Sango. - Those two probably saved her life.

Without a word Sesshomaru left the room.

- Kami, I don't envy you Inuyasha, - laughed Miroku. - Having a brother like that… ugh… well, there's one in every family.

- Yea. It's almost midnight Miroku. Get our "guests" a room and don't forget to lock the door. Tell me when you're done, - Inuyasha threw a quick glance at Kagome and went out of the room.

With a sigh Miroku pulled out a dagger from his sleeve.

- I'll cut the ropes now, - he explained. - But don't try to run. This place is full of demons. Some of them may be hungry. Don't risk your life. You'll have many opportunities to do that in future.

He freed at first Sango, that Kagome. The girls exchanged worried looks.

Miroku put the dagger back into his sleeve and smiled.

- So, which of you girls would like to have children from me?

- BAKA HENTAI!!!

After getting kicked a few times, Miroku hurried to the door.

- No sense of humor, - he said with a sad sigh. - Well, follow me then. I'll show ya to the place where you'll spend the night.

They left the dark-red room and the lights went out.
