Chapter 8

.
Pulling back up to Inuyasha's house a little while later they all exited the car and went to help carry the bags of clothes and other necessities that Kagome would need so that they could replace that garbage that she was given at The Center and that was putting it nicely. Miroku and Inuyasha carried the most into the house while Sango and Kagome each got only one bag to carry.
.
"Well it was a pleasure meeting you lady Kagome but I have to go, I have a few thing that I must take care of before I do anything else." Miroku said setting the bags down outside of Inuyasha's room door.
.
"Yes I must go also but I will see you around Kagome, Inuyasha will show you were my room is later, won't you Inuyasha?" Sango said as she eyed Inuyasha carefully
.
"Yea sure, whatever" Inuyasha said not really caring because what happened in the store was still getting to him.
.
"Alright, good bye Sango." Kagome said as she hugged her best friend.
.
"Geeze Kagome don't say good bye, it makes it sound so...so final." Sango said before she departed with Miroku right behind her.
.
"Well lets get these things inside my room so that you can get them put away." Inuyasha said as he once again grabbed the bags he was carrying before along with the ones that Miroku was carrying.
.
Kagome followed Inuyasha through the door only to see that right next to Inuyasha's dresser was a brand new dresser that was a deep chestnut brown with 6 beautifully carved drawers with vine like designs surrounding the outer rim of each of the drawers. In the center of each drawer was a simple silver vine like handle with leaves engraved into the front and the end of each side of the handle there was a silver engraved rose.
.
"Is that for me" Kagome said as she stopped suddenly when she noticed the dresser..
.
"Yea I called today you were getting ready and had them deliver this after we left." Inuyasha said as he saw Kagomes eyes light up in excitement.
.
"You mean that this is really for me." Kagome said with a hint of disbelief in her voice.
.
"Of course do you really think that I would use something that had flowers and vines engraved all over it" Inuyasha said rationally.
.
"Thank You thank you thank you." Kagome said as she lunged at Inuyasha and hugged him tightly.
.
"Your welcome, but calm down its just a dresser its not that great." Inuyasha said slightly blushing.
.
"It is to me..I've never been given anything like this my entire life..well except for the clothes you bought me today that is all anyone has ever given me." Kagome said as she finally released Inuyasha.
.
"Well I'm glad you like it, I described to them what I wanted over the phone, so I'm glad they got it right. Well I have to go talk to Miroku real quick so I'll be back in a few minutes you can start putting your clothes away I should be back before you finished but if I am not just go down the the kitchen, do you remember how to get there?" Inuyasha asked.
.
"Okay and yes I remember how to get there." Kagome said as she started to make her way over to her brand new dresser with her shopping bags that she was carrying.
.
"Ok then I'll be right back." Inuyasha said as he left to go find Miroku.
.
Inuyasha found Miroku a minute later wandering around near the dinning room.
.
"Oi Miroku!" Inuyasha said before Miroku had a chance to turn the corner. Miroku looked over at Inuyasha surprised.
.
"Hey Inu what are you doing down here, I thought that you were going to help Kagome with her stuff or something like that." Miroku asked.
.
"I was going to but I need to talk to you about something." Inuyasha said seriously. Miroku noticed the seriousness in his voice and decided that it would not be a wise decision to make a perverted or suggestive comment to him so he said "Follow me then" as he led Inuyasha to one of the study rooms.
.
The study room was well furnished with two couches at the back wall and a table in front of it along with a desk and shelves of books covering the remaining walls.
.
"Now what is it that you wanted to talk to me about." Miroku said as they both sat down on the couch.
.
"You know a lot about the history of slaves and rules of slavery right?" Inuyasha said as he looked at the floor.
.
"Ya I know most of it" Miroku answered wondering where his friend was going with this.
.
"Is there any possible way to free a slave." Inuyasha mumbled quietly but loud enough for Miroku to hear him.
.
"I think there might be, but I am not sure on how to do it or if I am even right it is possible that there is no way to free a slave. " Miroku said solemnly
.
"There has to be a way." Inuyasha replied quietly with a some-what strained voice.
.
"There might be like I said" Miroku restated.
.
"How come there are slaves Miroku, there shouldn't be it's wrong. The way that demon talked to Kagome in the store I thought I was going to lose it." Inuyasha confessed.
.
"You care about Kagome a lot don't you." Miroku asked
.
"Yes I do, but I don't know why and it's driving me crazy! Ever since she got here, which has been less then two days, I have been trying to make her happy, when all I could have done was told her that she could do whatever she pleased and just left her to do whatever she wanted. But I can't do that it would feel horribly wrong if I did that." Inuyasha said
.
"I see" was all that Miroku said before falling deep into thought for a second.
.
"I got an Idea," Miroku stated loudly almost causing Inuyasha to jump. " Let's look through the textbooks and try to find out any information on how to free a slave." Miroku finished with a smug grin on his face for coming up with such a brilliant idea.
.
"Alright, but we have to hurry I promised Kagome that I would meet her upstairs before she finished packing or in the kitchen and I'm not in either place." Inuyasha said getting up off the couch and heading towards the shelves of books.
.
"You look over on that side and I'll look on this side." Inuyasha said gesturing to the two huge bookshelves on his left and right.
.
"Alright" Miroku said as he started to search the shelves.
.
As Inuyasha searched he skimed the titles for any type of slave book until he came across a book called, The Rules and History of Slavery. By Kaede Hamasaki. Picking it up Inuyasha went to the desk and started to flip to the first chatper.

Chapter 1
History of Human Slaves.
The history of the human slaves dates back to 1500's when the demons started
a revolt against the humans. Before the 1500's demons were the ones that were considered slaves
while the humans were the ones that were controlling the demons. The demons were angered by this and
after a while their anger took control over them and they started what was known as The Demons Day. The
Demons Day was an all out revolt against demons being slaves, the demons went and massacred millions
upon millions of humans and villages. Though the humans did not give up, they created wards that were used
to paralyze and control any demon who came in contact with them. The demons were greatly outraged by this
new form of enslavement that they went into a full out war with the humans this war was known as the Bloody War.
The battle lasted 5days and 4nights before the demons concurred the humans. The remaining humans, as a form
of punishment, were put into slavery to see how it felt to be ordered around. The humans were not supposed to stay
as slaves, but the demons held their grudges and did not free the humans, instead they made sure that every human
was put into slavery. Until1530 they had no problems with capturing humans until the miko's joined the fright. The Miko's
were priestesses that could purify a demon by just the wave of their hand. The demons then turned on the miko's as well and
by using special demonic magic they were able to subdue the mikos and enslave them. After that the miko's were looked
down upon, and treated as less then human for trying to keep peace throughout the lands and for helping humans out of slavery.

.

Inuyasha finshed reading and continued along the book with a frown on his face 'So thats why they were so mean to Kagome' Inuyasha thought as he flipped to the section of the book that talk about rules.
.
.

Chapter 4
Five Basic Rules of slavery
1. Human slaves are not allowed to go anywhere out in public without their master.
2. Humans are not allowed to raise their voice below the level of whispering when talking to a demon.
3. Humans are not allowed to do anything with out there masters permission.
4. No slave shall be allowed to address their master with out first say 'yes master' or 'yes mistress'
5. No slave is allowed to purchase or own anything without their master present.

.

Inuyasha continued to flip through the book until he came to a section that caugh his eye.
.
"Miroku, come over here! I think I found somthing." Inuyasha called as Mioku rushed over to his side.
.
"Look at this" Inuyasha said as he showed Miroku the article.
.
.

Chapter 18
Free Humans
There are free human that were once slaves, but not without a price. Humans are only allowed to become
free if their demon master/mistress makes them their intended. An intended is a life mate for demons
thought demons can chose whether or not they will make a human their life mate before forcing them
into any sexual activity. If the demon does not want to take the human as their life mate and simply wants
to free them, then they have to have other family member that will buy them from their current master/mistress
and then their family members will have to buy their way out of their current masters before they will receive
a document stating that they are a free humans.

.
.
.
"See Inuyasha I told you that there was a way to free a slave." Miroku said cheerfully
.
"Yea but the only way that I would be able to free Kagome is to make her my life mate and I don't think she would want that" Inuyasha said closing the book.
.
"No that's not the only way remember it said that if a slave has any family they can buy there way out of slavery." Miroku stated
.
"Don't you remember! Kagome has no more family, she was orphaned, and even if she did have a family how would they get the money to free themselves after I pay for Kagome to be free, if they aren't allowed to possess anything!" Inuyasha said harshly
.
"Your right, but its really up to you if you want Kagome to be your life mate." Miroku said
.
"It's more of her decision then mine, because both people have to agree." Inuyasha stated, leaving Miroku stunned.
.
"You... mean that ..you already want Kagome to be your life mate?" Miroku asked surprised.
.
There was silence for a minute before Inuyasha answered.
