CHAPTER 8 - WHILE THE MASTER'S AWAY, THE WOLF WILL PLAY

 

Kagome sighed as she closed the book she was reading. It was official, she was bored. Inuyasha had been gone five days, already longer than he said he would be and there was no sigh of him returning yet. Kagome was starting to worry about him, although she had been assured by all of the castle staff that were willing to talk to her that Inuyasha and the taijiya that had gone with him were the best and unlikely to have too much trouble with a simple nest of serpent Youkai. Their words weren't quite enough to set her fears totally at rest, but at least they did sooth them quite a bit.

 

In the meantime, while waiting for Inuyasha to return, Kagome had run out of ideas for thing to do. Without her master around to mess up the place, there was only so much cleaning to be done so chores took up only a minimum of her time, and by now she'd somehow managed to read the entirety of Inuyasha's small library. She had briefly considered taking Inuyasha's advice to go borrow something from his parent's library, but decided against it for now. The excuse Inuyasha had given her if anyone gave her trouble about her being in the Lord and Lady's private library, that she was borrowing something for Inuyasha, wouldn't work too well if Inuyasha wasn't there, and she wasn't naive enough to think that a slave taking something from the private domain of the castle's rulers wouldn't be meet with trouble. While Kagome had developed a few friendships with various people around the castle, it wasn't like she could take the day off to go hang out with them, like she might have with a couple of her old friends back in her home village. Sango and Miroku had gone with Inuyasha to exterminate the rouge Youkai - not that she was all that comfortable hanging out socially with people of their ranks without Inuyasha present anyway - and her friends among the castle staff were busy with their own chores for most of the day.

 

Then there was her last problem, one that actually scared Kagome and kept her from leaving Inuyasha's suite anymore than necessary. The first full day Inuyasha had been gone, Kagome had tried to amuse herself by taking a walk in the castle extensive gardens. She had been informed not long after arriving, that the castle's gardens were famous in the neighbouring lands for their outstanding beauty, but until now she had not had the opportunity to properly explore them. The gardens more than lived up to their reputation in Kagome's opinion and she had greatly been enjoying herself while admiring them, when her happy solitude had been interrupted by a very unwelcome intruder.

 

Looking back, Kagome supposed she should have seen this coming. In truth, part of her had known it was, but just refused to admit it. Koga was to stubborn to just give up on something he wanted, even when that something belonged to someone else and had no interest in him. No, especially then. And with Inuyasha gone from the castle, the Ookami Youkai had apparently decided that Kagome was once again fair game. Fortunately, just as Koga was getting ready to drag the unwilling girl off to his room, a group of young noble women had stumbled by giggling about something, and Kagome had used Koga's surprise to make a quick getaway, but the encounter had left Kagome shaking. Koga had been even more insistent than ever, and had barely even pretended to care if Kagome wanted to go with him or not. The next day, Kagome had been on her way to the servant's mess hall for dinner when she spotted Koga casually leaning against a wall in the hallway, obviously waiting for someone. Rather than risk finding out who - not that there was any doubt in Kagome's mind - Kagome had turned on her heals and run all the way back to Inuyasha's suite, not stopping until she was safe with the heavy door bolted behind her. Kagome had gone to bed hungry that night, not daring to try for the mess hall again.

 

Ever since then Kagome had barely left the suite, venturing out only a few times for necessities and taking care to remain in areas she knew would be crowded with people. She hadn't dared take the chance that she would run into Koga again. The two incidents had solidified something in her mind however. It was time - past time really - to tell Inuyasha about Koga and his pursuit of her. She trusted Inuyasha enough that she was sure if she told him he would put a stop to the wolf's unwanted advances, even if he had to beat it unto him (a thought that after everything Koga had put her through wasn't exactly unwelcome, she had to admit). Part of her was still worried whether or not Inuyasha would view her differently once he knew the truth, but it was a small part. She truly believed that Inuyasha would protect her if only he knew. Besides, unless she wanted to spend the rest of her life afraid to leave these rooms, what choice did she have? She would tell Inuyasha just as soon as he arrived back home. In the meantime, Kagome felt safe as long as she stayed in her and Inuyasha's rooms. After all, not even Koga was stupid enough to try anything here where Inuyasha was sure to smell the evidence the second he returned. No, she was safe here, all she needed to worry about was whether or not she would die of boredom while waiting for Inuyasha to return.

 

With a sigh, Kagome looked over to the window, and noticed that the sun had already set. She might as well pack it in for today and head to bed, she decided. Who knows, maybe Inuyasha would return home tomorrow and things would once again return to normal. She certainly hoped so.

 

With that though in mind, Kagome headed toward the door to her small room, forgetting for once to insure that the main door was locked, not realising the danger that she was soon to be in.

Koga growled slightly to himself as the bartender refilled his glass. The elderly Kitsune had barely finished when the Ookami grabbed the cup and threw the strong drink back in one gulp. He knew he had already had more than he probably should have, but he didn't care, it suited the mood he had been in for the last few days. Stupid dog, leaving his hot little pleasure slave behind unattended. And stupid girl for refusing him, him a full Youkai with more power than that so called `lord' of a mutt could ever dream to have.

 

Koga scowled darkly to himself at the thought, and spared a glance around the noisy and smelly room he currently found himself in. The bar-slash-brothel was a rather seedy establishment, where the booze was cheap and the women even cheaper. Located in the small town that supported the castle, it was a favourite spot for low-level guards who were off duty with some extra cash to throw around. The place was packed tonight, the bar staff and the whores all turning good profit. Koga didn't come here very often, he preferred to drink alone - and with much higher-class stuff than the swill they served here - and much preferred the company of pretty servant girls over the whores here who he would have to pay, no matter how cheap they were. But tonight he had had the urge to come here for some reason, though now he was regretting it. The noise and smell of this place was giving him a headache, and the alcohol he had consumed was just making him think bitterly about the mutt-prince's whore, the one who kept neatly avoiding his advances. That was unacceptable. He was Koga of the Ookami Tribe, one of the top captains in Lord Inutaisho's guard. No one refused him and got away with it. He made sure of that. He could make it extremely pleasurable for the woman, or he could make it a living hell, and he had more than his fair share of skill with both types. Those women who had tried to refuse him in the past rarely did for long, quickly learning the error of their ways. Something that he longed to teach to that whore, that Kagome.

 

Ever since he had first seen her, Koga had wanted her. Before the morning for the return trip from Great Market, Koga had thought that the mutt had no taste, but he was proven wrong when introduced to the slave Dog-Shit had brought the day before. Damn, but she was HOT! Oh, how Koga had wished he had known about the slave auction, that he had been the one to buy her. Whatever her price, he was sure she would be worth it. She had set his loins on fire that day, but now she looked even better if that was possible. She had obviously lost some weight while with the slavers who had had her before, and was also somewhat pasty from her experiences. But life since coming to the castle had obviously agreed with her, and she had gained back the weight, though still retaining a gorgeous figure, and her skin now had a healthy glow to it. He hair had grown slightly longer, and now with regular bathing shone like black silk. She was a true beauty by any man's standard, and Koga longed to have her beneath him as he fulfilled his need from her. From the way the mutt stuck to her like glue, she must be amazing in the sack. From that very first day, Koga could barely wait to try her for himself.

 

However, now it was months later and he was still waiting. The bitch had refused his every advance, no matter what angle he took with her. He could throw on the charm, or he could use veiled threats, but nothing worked and she still refused. He had even resorted to trying to drag her to his room more than once, but every time he tried that someone inevitably turned up and made that impossible unless he wanted to risk news of it reaching the ears of Dog-Shit. Koga was under no illusions that the mutt would make his life a living hell if it was known he had touched that which belonged to him, and the old Dog Lord spoiled the brat so much that Koga wasn't sure that he could count on his support in the matter either. How a being as great and powerful as Lord Inutaisho could bring himself to love a half-breed, even if it was his own blood, Koga would never understand. He had thought he had a chance when the mutt decided to pack up and head out on another of those missions with the Taijiya a few days ago, but the bitch had got away from him the first time he tried when he was started by those giggling twits in the garden, the next time she ran away before he could get to her, and ever since she had been hiding in the mutt's room. Now Dogface was due to arrive back any day now, and unless he invaded the mutt's suite itself he was about to loose his chance.

 

Koga's head suddenly snapped up when that thought occurred to him. Why didn't he? If he tried attacking the bitch in the mutt's room, who would stop him? The mutt was gone, and the guards working the noble wing all feared and defaulted to him, as so they should. They wouldn't try to stop him if he took the bitch, and even if any of them got it into their head to stand in his way, he would just say he had the mutt's permission to fuck her. Even if Kagome denied it, they wouldn't take the word of a slave over a decorated Captain of the Guard, and besides how would the bitch even know? Pleasure slaves got shared around all the time, Koga wouldn't have been surprised if the mutt had shared her with some of his friends by now. That so-called-monk he hangs out with came to mind, notorious lecher that he was. Yes, he'd just say that to her, and he might not even have to use force on her, not that he wouldn't if she didn't cooperate. And Koga was sure that she wouldn't tell Dog-Shit when he got back from wherever he disappeared to this time, she'd never told before. The fact that Koga was still in one piece was evidence enough of that. Yes, this was a good plan, Koga in his drunken state decided. He would go and take the whore tonight, finally tasting that which he had longed for all this time. Just see if he didn't.

 

***

 

Kagome couldn't have been asleep more than an hour, when she was suddenly and rudely awaken by someone ripping her blanket off her, exposing her to the cold night air. Confused at first, Kagome looked groggily at the figure above her, wondering what on earth was going on. By the time she recognised the figure and realised the danger she was in, Koga had already grabbed both her arms and was holding them firmly against the futon above her head while he leaned over the leer at her in the thin sleep yukata she was wearing.

 

“What the hell are you doing in here? HELP!” Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs, coming fully awake in a panic. `Oh gods, please let this be a nightmare!' Her mind screamed as she cried out for help again.

 

“Quiet, bitch!” Koga snapped, surprised by her calling for help. She had never done that when he confronted her before, he hadn't expected her to now. He moved to straddle he waist, leaning over so that his face was just above hers. “I have your master's permission to fuck you while he's away, and I'm sure as hell going to tonight whether you want to or not. Just give in and I'm make sure you enjoy it too.”

 

“You LAIR! He wouldn't do that!” Kagome screamed, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that Koga's words were false. Inuyasha had promised her the first night after he had brought her that he would never place her into this situation, and besides Inuyasha hated Koga. “Get off me, somebody help!”

 

Koga was obviously drunk, she could smell the cheap alcohol on his breath. Obviously he wasn't thinking clearly, and that made him all the more dangerous. Scared out of her mind, Kagome fought to pulled her hands free and beat him off, but she was powerless against his Youkai strength. All she could do was scream for help, and hope that a miracle would happen and someone would hear her and be willing to come to the aid of a slave.

 

Looking annoyed by her resistance, Koga suddenly let go of her arms. This however wasn't much of an improvement for Kagome, as Koga used the movement to lie flat over the girl, pinning her to the futon, and quickly cover her mouth with one hand to stop her cries for help, while the over went lower to grope at her left breast through the yukata. This terrified Kagome even more, now she couldn't even cry out. She beat at the Ookami with her fists now that they were free, but her blows had all the impact of a butterfly's wing.

 

“Well, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not, whore.” Koga said, as he managed to find the opening in the yukata and started caress Kagome's bare skin, much to her disgust. “I've wanted you for months, and tonight I'm going to have you, no matter what you think.” He took his hand away from her skin to reach down and start undoing his own pants.

 

Kagome had never been so scared in all her life. Even at the slave auction, even during Koga's previous advancements. Even that night at the inn when she was sure Inuyasha was going to take her, as was his right as her master. None of that even compared to now, feeling Koga's weight against her, smelling the booze on his breath, and knowing that she was helpless against him. In pure panic, she pressed both her hands against his chest and pushed with all her might, knowing all the while that it was useless.

 

Imagine her surprise, when a bright pink light burst out from her hands and Koga flew backwards through the air to collide with the wall with a satisfying thud. Shock and disbelief over what had just happened stopped Kagome from getting to her feet and running, or even screaming for help once again, despite the fact that in the back of her mind she knew she should. Unfortunatly by the time Kagome's brain started working again, Koga was back on his feet with a look of pure rage in his eyes.

 

“You BITCH!” Koga screamed, looking like he was about to jump on Kagome and rip her apart. But before he got the chance the door to the room suddenly burst open, and a tall white blur suddenly entered the room and pined Koga to the wall.

 

Koga gasped for breath, the air knocked out of him by the sudden impact with the wall. He started to glare and yell at whoever had attacked him, only for his angry words to break off in shock when he saw just who had pinned him.

 

“Lo… Lord Sesshomaru!” Koga stuttered. This was one development he could never have imagined, but one which terrified him. Known secretly as the Ice Prince by those in the castle, Lord Inutaisho's eldest son by a previous marriage, Sesshomaru, was feared by all both for his incredible power and his cold and ruthless demeanour. However, Koga had never thought Sesshomaru would challenge him in this, it was no secret around the castle that the brothers did not get along, why would Sesshomaru bother to defend Inuyasha's whore?

 

Koga was never given a chance to ask, as the Inu Youkai's hand tightened around the Ookami's throat causing him to choke slightly.

 

“What are you doing in my brother's room, Wolf?” Sesshomaru asked coldly, even for him. “What gave you the idea that you would allowed to touch what belongs to a member of my family without permission?”

 

“I have permission, Dog-Sh… err, Lord Inuyasha said I could use his whore while he was away…” Koga just managed to choke out, before Sesshomaru's hand tightened to the point where he could say no more.

 

“Do you think me a fool, Wolf?” Sesshomaru hissed. The young lord deliberately let his poison claws prick and burn Koga's throat slightly to emphasise his words. “Inuyasha is notorious for hording his possessions and not sharing them with anyone. You think I, his own brother, would not know this? What's more I am well aware, as is all of this castle, of the enmity between you and my brother. And yet you try to pass of your ridiculous lies on me? Has that foul drink I smell on your breath robbed you of all of your senses?”

 

“For trying to take that which belongs to a member of my house I have the right to kill you here, Wolf. However, I believe it would be better to leave your punishment to Inuyasha when he returns, which should be within a day or two. Now get out my sight before I change my mind and finish you right here.” With that Sesshomaru practically threw Koga towards the still open door, and being one who knew when it was time to run, Koga scrabbled out and away.

 

Kagome was trying to get her head around this surprising turn of events, when she realised Sesshomaru had turned his cold eyes on her and let out a startled `Eep'. For all that he just saved her, Kagome was as afraid of Sesshomaru as anyone else around the castle, and her previous encounters with the tall, full blooded Inu Youkai left her with no doubt that he shared none of his brother's sympathy for her position as a slave.

 

“Straighten your yukata, and finds some clothes for the next few day, woman.” Sesshomaru said emotionlessly. “While I do not believe that even the wolf is stupid enough to repeat his transgressions tonight, I will not take the chance of this insult to my family's honour being repeated before my brother returns home, and I have better things to do than to guard a slave. I will take you to Kaede, and you will stay with her until your master returns home.”

 

Kagome blushed darkly when she realised that Koga's groping had left her yukata open enough to leave her breasts bare to Sesshomaru's eyes, and quickly pulled her yukata shut. Nodding without being able to meet his eyes, Kagome was quick to jump up and do as she was told. She didn't want to stay here tonight anyway, but although going to Kaede seemed to her a good idea right now, Kaede wasn't the one Kagome really wanted to see. Kagome hoped that Sesshomaru was right and that Inuyasha would be home soon, because the truth was more than anything she wanted Inuyasha.

 

 

AUTHOR'S NOTES

 

See people, I didn't forget about you or this story. Sorry it's been so long since the last update, I haven't had much time and or inspiration to write this lately. I'll try to make the updates come out quicker, but I can't promise anything.

 

If people are upset about my depiction of Koga and/or Sesshomaru in this chapter, I'd like to take a minute here to justify my reasons.

 

I'll start with Koga. Like I think I've said before, I'm not really anti-Koga. However, the truth is when trying to write a rival for Inuyasha, especially one who's interested in Kagome, he's often just too convenient a character to pass up. I realise that he's really OOC in this fic, but there's a reason I'm having him act the way he is which you'll learn more about if you keep reading my story.

 

As for Sesshomaru, well let's face it people, he's a cold character no matter what spin you put on him, and I didn't want to depict him as anything else. As for his apparent opinions towards slaves and him calling Kagome his brother's `property', well I'm sorry people but when it comes down to it in this story she is, and I think there are already enough people who are nice to slaves in this fic already. I wanted to give another reason why someone would come to Kagome's aid, and I think I did that nicely by having Sesshomaru call Koga's attack on her as being a affront to his family's honour.
