Last time:

 

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.

 

Now:

 

Tears formed in Kagome's eyes and she threw herself on to Inuyasha. He was shocked. Why was Kagome crying? He thought that he had been doing something nice for her by taking the chain and collar off of her. But before he could think farther Kagome squeaked and jumped away from Inuyasha.

 

She cowered on the floor and said, “I'm sorry!! Please! Don't send me back!”

 

Inuyasha crossed his arms and sat back down on his bed.

 

“What are you talking about? Why would I send you back? Unless you want to go back, I think that I was just forced in to giving you a better home.”

 

Kagome looked up at him, disbelief written all over her face.

 

“Forced, Master? And you would send me back, Master, because I touched you. Slaves are forbidden to touch anyone or anything unless it is ground or they are ordered to, Master.”

 

Inuyasha growled and said, “Would you stop with that `Master' crap? I'm ain't no master, and I never hope to be.”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes and said, “You're to late, Master, you're one right now.”

 

Then she cringed back on to the floor.

 

“Would you stop that?” Inuyasha said. “You look like you're trying to sink in to the damn floor.”

 

Kagome mumbled softly, “I was trying to…” not knowing that Inuyasha would be able to hear her.

 

Inuyasha sighed and got up again.

 

“Come on,” he said. “Lets go find you something to eat. I don't want you dying on me anytime soon.”

 

Kagome stared at him again.

 

Inuyasha sighed in exasperation and said, “What now?”

 

Kagome let her hair hide her face as she said, “You don't think that I'll use my magic to turn you into a frog or something, Master? `Cause, you know, I can.”

 

Inuyasha nodded and said, “That crossed my mind, but if you ran away then where would you go? I really don't think that there are many slaves or others like me around here that would be willin' to help you.”

 

Kagome nodded and said back, “You're right, Master.” Kagome got up and bowed. “What would you like me to cook for you, Master?”

 

Inuyasha blinked and asked, “I thought that I just said not to call me `Master' anymore? Maybe I need to clean my ears better.”

 

Kagome shook her head and said, “It is under law that a slave must call all those above her station master. Though she only calls her owner Master, with a capital M. If they are caught calling them anything but that, they are executed.”

 

Inuyasha gaped.

 

“What!?!?” he cried. “They kill them just for that? What low, stinking, ugly, jacked up, stupid, idiot people we have in this world.”

 

Kagome giggled but almost at once stifled it. Inuyasha watched her for a moment.

 

“What was that about? Another law that says that slaves can't laugh?”

 

Kagome shook her head and replied, “No, but I did not think that you would like me doing it, Master.”

 

Inuyasha glared her and she glared back saying, “If you'd tell me what to call you, Master, then I wouldn't be calling you Master, now would I?”

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and retorted, “I always thought that my name would be the thing people called me…guess I was wrong.”

 

This time Kagome rolled her eyes.

 

“Just call me Inuyasha, okay?”

 

Kagome went pale. She started to stutter stuff out about the law. But Inuyasha held up a hand and at once she shut her mouth and looked down.

 

“Fine,” Inuyasha said. “Then when were in public call me either `Master' or `Master Inuyasha.' But when were not, or when were with my mom, call me just Inuyasha.”

 

Kagome looked up and saw that Inuyasha was telling the truth. She smiled and nodded.

 

“Right,” she said. “But…why also with your mother…” Inuyasha glared at her. “…Inu…Inuyasha…”

 

Inuyasha smirked slightly and said, “Because she doesn't believe in slavery either. Now come on, lets find some food.”

 

Kagome nodded and followed Inuyasha out the door. They walked down the stairs without interruption, and Inuyasha wondered if the movers were done. As they reached the last steps, Inuyasha saw that his mom was at the door, waving off Inuyasha's uncle.

 

“What was that all about?” Inuyasha asked crossing his arms. “Last time I checked, you two were bickering like little three year olds.”

 

Inuyasha's mother smiled at Inuyasha and said, “Well, you know, I can never stay mad at him for to long.” She turned her eyes to Kagome, who bowed and shrank back slightly.

 

“My Lady,” Kagome said. “Mas-“ she caught herself before she sent Inuyasha in to a fit of growls. “Inuyasha said that we should come and find food. If you would show me to the kitchen, mi' Lady, I will be able to prepare the meal.”

 

Inuyasha's mother frowned and said, “My Lady? Never been called that before. Oh, well, if you like it, you may call me that. If not then you can call me Iza…that's my nickname.”

 

Kagome nodded and said, “Thank you, Iza. Will you show me to the kitchen?”

 

Iza nodded and led Inuyasha and Kagome off toward the kitchen, naming other room along the way. Once they arrived at the kitchen, Kagome at once started to take out things for cooking. Once that was done she turned around. Both Inuyasha and Iza were staring at her.

 

Kagome bowed and said, “I'm sorry…was there anything specific that you would like, Inuyasha? Lady Iza?”

 

Inuyasha at once responded with, “Yeah, Ramen!”

 

While Lady Iza at once said, “Yes, Rice of the Ronnie.”

 

Kagome nodded and got out even more things to cook with. Lady Iza watched her for a moment before she sat down at the table.

 

“Dear, you know you really don't have to make both. I'll settle for Ramen, if you like.”

 

Kagome shook her head and said, `No, it's okay, Lady Iza. I'm use to having to cook hundreds of different things for people who don't even eat it. They only play with the food.” Kagome glanced up in time to see the looks exchanged between mother and son…though not to interpret right. “I'm not a bad cook! No, it's just they save the food to dump on slaves who come by with other food, giving the slave traders reason to whip us.”

 

Lady Iza winced and Inuyasha growled…Kagome only shrugged. Not long after that, Kagome laid the food out on the table and stood back. Lady Iza smiled at her and pointed to a seat next to Inuyasha.

 

Kagome, though, shook her head and said, “I couldn't, Lady…it wouldn't be proper.”

 

Lady Iza smiled as Inuyasha dug in to his Ramen and said, “None sense! We might be a royal family, but that doesn't mean that we are very proper! Now come, eat with us.”

 

But Kagome stood in shock. They were royal! And she hadn't noticed!?!?

 

“You…your…royal?” she squeaked the last word out.

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, finished chewing, and said, “Yeah, so? My dad was the old Lord of the Western Lands, till he died.” Inuyasha made a face as he said, “Now my older brother, though I think of him as younger with all of the blabbing he does, is the new Lord.”

 

Lady Iza nodded and added, “They don't get along to well, never have. But more so since their father died since Inuyasha inherited the sword that he wanted.”

 

Inuyasha smirked and said, “Yeah, that's right. He only got the sword that brings people back from the dead.”

 

Kagome sank in to the chair beside Inuyasha, not because she wanted to be nice to Lady Iza, but because she didn't think that her legs wanted to hold her up anymore.

 

Then a moment later she turned to Lady Iza to speak.
