InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Princess Slave ❯ chapter 26 ( Chapter 26 )

Before:

 

Pretending as if she was upset about this, when she really wasn't, Kagome nodded and said, “Fine then, lead the way.” To Sesshomaru and he walked out the door.

 

Now:

 

She looked around and at first didn't spot his car. Had he flown here or something?

 

“Over here.” Inuyasha called. Kagome turned around and gasped. It was a limo, a big limo.

 

She back away a step and said, “I can't ride in that.”

 

“Why not?” Inuyasha said, coming over and dragging her closer. “It's not like it's going to bite.” But she stopped walking and Inuyasha stopped pulling unless he really wanted to drag her. “What?” he said, growing annoyed.

 

“Please don't make me.” She whispered, hiding her face. “Slaves can't ride in those.”

 

Now he was pissed. “I don't care,” he said. “You're going to weather you like it or not, now come on.” He pulled slightly but a sniffle stopped him. “Damnit, don't cry.” He said. “Please. I didn't mean…”

 

“No,” Kagome said. “I should be saying sorry.” She wiped her eyes on her sleeve and continued. “I'm defying you and that's not what a slave is suppose to do. I only meant that…” but it was then that she notices that Inuyasha was growling.

 

“Would you shut up about being a slave?” he said. “I don't care and apparently no one else around here does either!”

 

Kagome was slightly taken aback. Not really about the way Inuyasha had said that, which was as though she was stupid, but at what he had said. Hadn't that stupid lady at the STC (Slave Trade Center) given him a book on slave law?

 

“How can you say that?” she suddenly asked. “You don't even know our laws, do you?” she felt, and looked, slightly hurt. He hadn't even read them to see why she was always calling him master and such things like that? “You know nothing…do you?”

 

This made Inuyasha growl again but before he was able to voice his anger Sesshomaru, not looking at them but up the road, said, “I must insist that we move on. It is already getting late and we are wasting time.”

 

Inuyasha sighed and turned away from Kagome, walked to the limo and got in, waiting for Kagome to follow or not. If she wanted to stay behind while he and the others went and id whatever it is that Sesshomaru wanted them to, fine, he didn't care.

 

`You do to.' Part of him said, but he ignored that part. He was partly mad at Kagome for telling him knew nothing and partly worried for her because she was crying. He was looking out of the window, so preoccupied with his thinking, that is was only when he felt the seat next to him be filled by Miroku that he looked up and over at him.

 

He saw that Kagome, who had finally decided to get into the car after all, was sitting in the far corner of the limo, as far away from Inuyasha as she was able to get, and she was also pressed back in her seat, as though trying to go through it and out onto the street again. Sango was next to her, not close enough for them to whisper to each other, but not far enough that if Sango felt Kagome needed a comforting hand she wouldn't be able to give it.

 

Sesshomaru was the last person to get in, and he told the driver, “Go.” Before he to settled back and looked out of the front window, as he was up front with the driver.

 

Something started to puzzle Kagome for a moment before the thought of being caught in a limo by someone drew her away again: why had Sesshomaru brought such a big car? It wasn't as though they would all have fit in something else. And why hadn't he sat back with them? To good for them? There was defiantly enough room back there anyways…

 

“Kagome,” he said suddenly, eyes still fixed ahead. “Bend over and give me the box under your seat.”

 

Confused but doing as she was told, Kagome leaned forward so that she would be able to reach under her seat and felt around for a box. As she was doing this, everyone saw a man ahead of them, walking down the lane/road heading for the house. They passed him and the man turned to watch them go by.

 

“Hey that's…” Miroku said but a sudden look form Sesshomaru made him quiet down. What didn't he want him to say? Miroku thought.

 

“Um, there's nothing under here.” Kagome said finally, straightening up. “Are you sure it's my seat?” she said. But her only answer was a “Hn.” From the man upfront and nothing else. Sighing, but remembering she was forbidden to ask any other questions, ok, she was forbidden to ask any, she remained quiet.

 

“You two are quiet.” Miroku said after they had been on the road for a while. “Is something wrong? Or are your thoughts just preoccupied with…” Inuyasha's shoe made contact with his head and he shut up, rubbing the sore spot.

 

“No, we're just…not allowed to talk unless spoken to.” Kagome said, rather quietly. No matter how nice anyone was to her, how much they said it was ok to act different from other slaves, she wasn't going to. The training that she had received in the Center was going to stick with her for the rest of her life and she knew it.

 

“What the hell?” Inuyasha said. “That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.”

 

“It is.” Sango said, looking out of the window. “But it is what we were taught so nothing will change that.”

 

“Feh.” Inuyasha said, looking outside as well. “I don't care, Miroku and I'll do what we can to make you humans again…”

 

“We are humans, we're just a different sort.” Kagome muttered under her breath and Inuyasha listened to her. “We're the sort that gets caught for no reason, lies when needed, and doesn't have a soul or will. Slaves.” She pretty much spit the last word out with as much venom as she could.

 

“That doesn't mean you can't be taught happiness again.” Inuyasha said, not looking at her still. Her yes widened, forgetting that he could hear her. “And it doesn't mean that you'll die a slave.”

 

For a moment Kagome, and, really, everyone else in the backseat, stared at him. What was he talking about? Had Kagome said something that they hadn't heard? Or was Inuyasha just going crazy?

 

“We're here.” Sesshomaru said, breaking the awkward silence that had followed Inuyasha words. They all climbed out of the limo, Kagome as fast as she was able to.

 

“What did Kagome leave here?” Inuyasha asked, though he knew he probably wouldn't get an answer anyways. But, to his surprise, he did.

 

“Jewelry.” It was short, but it was still an answer.

 

Kagome looked shocked. She glanced down at her wrist and noticed that the bracelet she had been wearing was indeed missing. Her hand then practically flew to her neck, but the necklace was also missing.

 

“Oh dear…” she said, slightly freaking out. What if someone had stolen them?

 

Glancing at Sango, Kagome saw that she to was worried about this. But, as they were all heading into the club, Kagome didn't have time to pull her aside.

 

“Sango.” Sesshomaru said. “Come. The rest stay here.” Slightly reluctant to go with him, but not able to resist the order, she followed him into the back room.

 

“What do you think he's going to do to her?” Miroku asked, a slight grin on his face…which was promptly whisked away by a cousin in his face.

 

“Maybe have her get them?” Kagome said. “Since he might not be able to touch them?”

 

Inuyasha just shrugged and walked to a couch, sat down, and turned on one of the TV's. Miroku decided that, while they were there, he'd go ahead and get himself a drink. Kagome, though, stood where she was.

 

“What's up?” Inuyasha asked, looking over his shoulder at her. “Why not go look at something?”

 

“I…wasn't told I could…” she said. She knew it would make him mad, but she had to answer him.

 

“Damn it all.” He said. Then, getting up, he came around the couch and grabbed her hand before pulling her over to the couch and sitting her down next to him. “Now stay here and watch something with me.”

 

For a moment Kagome was stiff. This wasn't something that a Master was suppose to do. But, soon, she just told herself to shove it and take what she could get, it would all be over soon. She relaxed and Inuyasha smiled slightly while they watch some anime.

 

`I wonder what's taking so long?' Kagome thought, before she let herself be taken in by the show.

 

It was an hour before Sango and Sesshomaru exited the back room. They weren't noticed right away, though, as there was so much noise coming from the general direction of the TV. For a moment Sango was confused. Was someone fighting? Then she saw that it was only Inuyasha and Miroku, yelling at the wrestlers on the screen, as Kagome watched laughing.

 

“Kagome?” Sango said. The girl in question looked over her shoulder and smiled, which made Sango smile to. It had been such a long time since they had had any fun. “We found the jewelry.” She glanced down at Kagome hand and noticed something. “But don't get up, Kagome, I'll bring it to you…as you seem to be glued to Inuyasha hand at the moment.” And it wasn't until then that either Inuyasha or Kagome noticed they were still holding hands.
