Last chapter:

 

Inuyasha looked back up at the Kagome as his uncle was paying for the girl.

 

“Uh…so…what is your name?” he asked her.

 

She looked down at him and was silent for a moment.

 

Then she said, “My name is Kagome…I'm fifteen…and…”

 

Now:

 

“…and…I'm a-” But before she could utter what ever she was about to say, she was pulled off of the platform by the slave trader.

 

“Here you are!” she said brightly, holding the chain leash out to Inuyasha.

 

Inuyasha only stared. The women's smile began to fade as she saw that Inuyasha didn't seem to know what to do. Her smile was only gone a second, though, as she gently pushed the chain in to Inuyasha's hand.

 

“Here, sir, take these. You'll need them to control it and its miko power. Its really a hand full, if you'd like to know.” She smiled at Inuyasha as she said all of this.

 

Inuyasha looked at the girl the chains were attached to. Kagome was looking down, as though ashamed that she had to still be on chains. Inuyasha then sighed and nodded.

 

“Right…whatever. Can we go now, Uncle? I want to get as far away from here as I can.”

 

Inuyasha's uncle smiled, nodded, and let the women lead them out. At first Inuyasha didn't move. He only stared at Kagome. She looked up at him and shifted from one foot to the other as the `guards' left the room and Inuyasha's uncle and the women got farther and farther away.

 

Finally she flipped the chains ever so slightly and whispered very softly, “Are you going to go or not?”

 

Inuyasha shook his head slightly to clear it and then started for the door, making sure that he didn't pull to much on the chain.

 

 

Kagome's P.O.V…ish

 

As they got closer to the door, Kagome used slight miko magic to look over her new master. But seeing as she was chained, she only got very basic details.

 

`So…he's an inu hanyou, is he?' she though. `Never thought I'd be sold to a hanyou.' Kagome sighed slightly and softly. `But, hey, life's never what you expect, is it? I mean, I was sold in to slavery even though…'

 

But her thoughts were cut off as her new master, his uncle, and the slave holder women entered an office.

 

 

Normal P.O.V

 

“Here we are,” said the women. `If you'd both take a seat,” she indicated the two seats in front of the desk. “we'll be able to go over the details and proper care of It.”

 

Almost at once Inuyasha's uncle sat in one of the chairs. Inuyasha hesitated though, wondering where Kagome was going to sit. Then he sighed knowing the answer: no where. They were going to make her stand through this entire thing.

 

Finally Inuyasha sat and the women said, “Good. Now, you'll needs Its birth certificate, though that doesn't matter. You'll also need some special chains to keep It from using strong miko spells. Oh! You'll also need…”

 

Inuyasha started to ignore the women and instead studied the girl that was now his `slave.' Kagome stood tall and firm…an earthquake probably couldn't shake her. Her hands were clasped behind her back and her eyes were on the back, as though trying to drill a hole through it.

 

As Inuyasha watched her she glanced down at him. Her body spoke of confidence, authority, a strong will, and an even stronger power…but her eyes spoke of many hardships she had gone through and of the sorrow that came with those things.

 

As the women, Shelby Inuyasha soon found out was her name, stood up behind her desk Kagome snapped her eyes forward again. Shelby went over to a filing cabinet and opened drawer after drawer and pulling folders out of them. She took them back to her desk and stamped a seal on them all before handing them over to Inuyasha..

 

“There you are,” she said kindly enough. “That is all of the things that you will ever have to know about that thing. If you want to know more about it you'll have to ask It.”

 

Inuyasha just nodded and stood up with a little difficulty…the folders were heavy!!! Shelby smiled at him before strolling forward and gently taking the chain attached to Kagome from him.

 

“Here,” she said. “I'll help you take it to the car.”

 

Inuyasha didn't want her help but said nothing. If he did it would only start a fight and that would mean more time in this hell hole.

 

Inuyasha uncle went first followed by Shelby then Inuyasha. Inuyasha noticed that the women tugged as hard as she could on the chain though she didn't seem to notice it.

 

`Probably what she does to all of the slaves.' Inuyasha thought.

 

When they reached the car Inuyasha's uncle unlocked and held the door open to the back seat so Shelby could help Kagome in.

 

`Maybe `helps' not the right word.' Inuyasha though.

 

And he was right. Shelby didn't `help' Kagome in…she pushed and shoved Kagome in. But since Inuyasha was laden down with folders he couldn't do anything to help.

 

Finally Inuyasha uncle came and took some of the folders and put them in to the other side of the back seat. After all of that was done he and Inuyasha climbed in to their seats and Inuyasha uncle rolled down his window.

 

“Thanks for all of the help.” He said politely. “You were a great help.”

 

The women smiled at him and said, “You're welcome. Besides, it's my job to help people with those things.”

 

Inuyasha's uncle chuckled and said, “Yes I suppose it is. But still you do a pretty damn good job at it.”

 

The women giggled and said, “Well, I hope to see you two back here when that one you have there expires.”

 

Inuyasha uncle started the car, waved to the women, and drove back to the main road.

 

Once they were on it Inuyasha hissed, “Were you flirting with her?”

 

Inuyasha uncle nodded and changed lanes.

 

“Yes, why? Is that a crime now? To flirt with beautiful women is a crime?”

 

Inuyasha groaned. He sounded just like Miroku!!!

 

“No, it's not but she was a slave trader!! There the scum of the earth!!” Inuyasha growled out.

 

Inuyasha's uncle chuckled and said, “I thought that you always said your older brother was the scum of the world.”

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and said, “To me he's a little brother, with the way he blurts everything out to mom. He's like a little four year old who doesn't know how to shut his trap!”

 

That got a laugh out of Inuyasha uncle before he said, “Oh, speaking of your mother, we're suppose to meet her at your new house.”

 

Inuyasha coughed and said, “WHAT?!?! What house?”

 

Inuyasha's uncle smiled and said, “You'll find out when we get there.”

 

Inuyasha groaned again and said, “Why? Why does it all happen to me?”

 

Inuyasha's ears then twitched as Kagome shifted in the back seat so that she was directly behind Inuyasha. Inuyasha listened as she settled herself behind him.

 

`Whats she doing?' he wondered.

 

“Um…Master?” came her soft voice.

 

Inuyasha looked back at her, surprised that she had said something when no one had spoken to her.

 

“Uh…yeah?” he said, still surprised.

 

“May…may I rub your shoulders to relax you? You should not be so tense right now.” She hid her face behind her hair after she spoke.

 

“Wha…what do you mean?” he said.

 

`Wow, she's really nice.' He thought. `Or is she only doing this so she can knock me out or something?

 

Kagome fidgeted with her clothing. She was use to being whipped not interrogated!!

 

“Well I just thought that you might like to relax…you seem very tense, Master.”

 

After a moment Inuyasha faced the front again and said, “Fine, whatever.”

 

Kagome nodded and set her small hands on to Inuyasha's shoulders, gently working all of the kinks out of them. Inuyasha, though an inu hanyou, wanted to purr but held him self back. He wouldn't embarrass him self in front of his uncle by showing that he liked Kagome's touch.

 

`Whoa!' he thought. `That didn't sound right. I only like it that she's giving me a massage…that's it.'

 

After a moment he sighed and settled back in to his chair ever more. He was almost asleep when his uncle turned off of the road and started to pull up a LARGE house…mansion…place.

 

“Daaaaamn…” said Inuyasha slowly. “That's where I'm,” he glanced back at Kagome who was now leaning back in her chair. “…uh…we're gonna live?”

 

Inuyasha uncle nodded and pointed to a car that was in the drive way already.

 

“Yep, and there's your new car next to your mothers. Come on, lets go get a good look at your new home.”

 

Inuyasha sighed. It was late and he just wanted to go to bed. He reached for the handle to the door but it was opened before he even touched it. There stood Kagome, he face hidden again by her hair. Inuyasha stepped out and she closed the door then offered her chains to him.

 

He hesitated then took them saying, “Thanks…you didn't have to do that you know?”

 

Kagome looked at him and said, “I'm a slave. It's my job. To do what you say and the basics to.”

 

Inuyasha shook his head and said, “Whatever. I think I can open a door by myself though.”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes and said, “That's not my problem. I have to do my job or be whipped to death. That's how its been forever. So why don't you…” but she stopped her self, knowing if she said the rest she was as good as dead.

 

Inuyasha just `feh'ed and walked up to the open door. As he stepped inside his mother came to him and hugged around his shoulders.

 

“Welcome to your new home, honey!” she said brightly, then she noticed Kagome, though not the chain attached to her neck. “And who is this lovely young lady?”

 

Kagome backed up until the chain almost choked her and Inuyasha had to back up to. She bowed low then said, “My lady I am no lady myself. I'm a slave to Master Inuyasha.”

 

Inuyasha's mom backed up a step then glared at her son. But before she could utter a word, Inuyasha's uncle came to the door.

 

“You!!” she cried. “What do you think your doing buying my son a slave? He doesn't need one! He doesn't believe in it, you know that!”

 

Inuyasha slipped past the now two bickering adults, trying not to drag Kagome along to much. As he entered the main room he saw moving men carrying things every where. He looked around and spotted the stairs.

 

As he ascended the stairs he and Kagome had to frequently move to the side to let the moving men through. Finally they got to the top and Inuyasha saw right away that he had a study, a room, and a lot of rooms besides those. He entered his room, dropped the chains and flopped down on to his bed.

 

Kagome stood for a moment before she said, “Master? What would you have me do?”

 

Inuyasha looked at her, startled to see that she was still in the room.

 

“Huh? What do you mean?”

 

Kagome sighed and said, “Well, would you like me to cook dinner or draw up a bath?”

 

Inuyasha sighed himself and said, “I don't care. If you want to use a towel, you'll have to ask my mom.”

 

Kagome shook her head and said, “I didn't mean for myself, Master, I meant for you. I am not allowed to take a bath unless ordered to.”

 

Inuyasha sat up and said slowly, “Why not?”

 

Kagome shrugged and said, “Well, most slave owners don't care to let their slaves bathe. And you can even starve me if you feel like it, Master”

 

Inuyasha stood up and went over to Kagome, standing directly in front of her. Kagome at once cringed back, thinking she was about to be beaten for speaking like that. But the blows never came. Instead Inuyasha raised his hand and undid the latch that held it on.

 

“There,” he said as he let the chain drop to the ground. “That might tell you what I think about slave traders and their business.”

 

Kagome then looked up at Inuyasha, her eyes glowing.

 

A/N: Yeah, another cliffhanger!! So, why are Kagome's eyes glowing? Are they really glowing? You'll just have to wait, I guess!!!
