Ch apter One: Escape


Kagome lay curled in a ball in the center of Sesshomaru’s large, elaborate bed. The pain in her body refused to subside as she fought back the tears that had formed in the corners of her brown eyes. She touched her left cheek where small gashes had been made by Sesshomaru and his poisoned clawed right hand just the night before. Even now, blood still trickled from the wounds he had inflicted on her. She winced as the pain in her hips became more evident and she failed at keeping the whimper silent. She recalled Sesshomaru ruthlessly digging his claws into her flesh as he held her still, forbidding her to move as he took her against her will and forced her to become his mate. He had been  intentionally rough with her, reminding her off all the ruthless deeds he had done over the past couple days. She remembered his face as he began and how angry his expression had become, how red his eyes had turned. She couldn’t remember why he had been so angry, but she was sure it had to do with InuYasha.

Rising to her knees on the bed, Kagome wanted to get out of the dark, cold palace, but her body was just too weak to move. Feeling defeated, she collapsed back onto the silk covered bed and rolled onto her back. She closed her eyes and tried her hardest to remember a happier moment in her life, but instead, the worst moment replayed in her mind.

Flashback

Sesshomaru challenged InuYasha for possession of the Tetsusaiga. The only problem, night was coming and there would be a new moon. InuYasha fought with all of his strength, but as the sun faded, so did any energy the half-demon possessed. With speed faster than lightning, Sesshomaru drove his half-brother to the ground. Kagome screamed out in horror as the older brother thrust the demonic sword, Tokijin, directly into InuYasha’s chest. There was a sickening crunch as it made it's way through the chest cavity. After removing the blade from his now dead half-brother, Sesshomaru ripped InuYasha’s left arm cleanly off. Using his new limb, he lifted the Tetsusaiga, smirking at the power he now held.

Kagome had rushed to InuYasha’s side. She shook him and cried out his name. Her desperate pleas for him to wake up would never be heard by him, but they did reach the ears of the great Taiyoukai that now stood above her. Looking up at him with tears falling from her eyes, she waited for Sesshomaru to kill her as well. All she wanted now was to join her love in death. Fate laughed at her though. Sesshomaru was amused by her eagerness to die, but he would deny her death. He had something of another matter in mind for the young priestess. Throwing her over his shoulder, he started off to his palace.

End Flashback


Kagome wiped the tears from her eyes as the door to the room opened. Sesshomaru stood in the doorway, his usual stoic expression in place, he watched the human his pathetic half-demon brother had loved. He watched as she curled around herself and let out a soft whimper. Ignoring her distress, he strode forward and placed a light pink kimono on the end of the bed. He ordered her to get dressed and meet him for dinner and then left slamming the door behind him.

Kagome groaned and rolled off the bed. She knew it was best not to defy Sesshomaru and hurried to dress herself in the kimono before making her way into the dimly lit hallway. The candles cast an eerie glow along the stone gray walls of the castle. Leaning against the wall for support, Kagome began walking to where she could hear Jaken’s voice. She hated that little toad imp, and if she had had the strength, she’d probably kick him across the room.

She pulled away from the wall and found support on the banister leading to the lower level. She had no idea what floor she was on and even if she was anywhere near the dining room. Losing her step, she tumbled down a few stairs. She sobbed at the pain in her hips again. It wasn’t the pain from the wounds Sesshomaru had given her, it was something different.

“Pathetic human!” Jaken’s voice was close now, “Get up filthy human!”

He hit her shoulder with his two-faced staff. She cried out again and pushed him away. She sluggishly fought to stand and was pulled abruptly to her feet by her hair.

“Get up.” Sesshomaru released her hair and shoved her hard against the banister. Kagome whimpered when she felt him right behind her, pressing her hard against the railing. His hands reached around and groped her breasts through the silky pink fabric. She squeezed her eyes shut before tears could slip from her delicate chocolate colored eyes.

There before Jaken and the other servants, Sesshomaru, once again, had his way with the pitiful little human. Lifting her kimono, he pressed into her hard. Kagome cried out and then forcibly bit her bottom lip. The last time she had made a noise was right before he cut her face. Not wanting to receive anymore cuts from his claws, Kagome kept herself from crying. She could feel the eyes of the youkai around her. They were staring and enjoying the way the great Taiyoukai humiliated her. She felt his release a few moments later and he pulled back. Kagome remained still.

“Jaken, delay dinner.” Sesshomaru ordered, “I am in need of a bath.”

“Yes, Lord Sesshomaru!” Jaken gave a smug smile to Kagome and scurried off to the kitchen.

“Come with me.” He dug his claws into her arm and dragged her back towards the dark hallway. She stumbled along after him.

He dragged her to a part of the castle she had never seen before. As he opened the door to the room, Kagome noticed the hot springs before them. They were close to the ground level, she was sure of it. Confused by the sudden flicker of excitement that passed in her eyes, Sesshomaru slammed the door closed behind them and smirked when she flinched.

He undressed before her and gracefully stepped into the water. Kagome kept her focus on the ground and only glanced up as Sesshomaru cleared his throat. The water reached his waist and she was amazed at how many muscles sculpted his physique.

“Get in.” he commanded. Kagome swallowed hard and nervously fumbled at removing the pink kimono. After hearing him growl angrily, she let the fabric fall to the floor. Slowly she stepped into the water with him, crossing her arms over her chest as she went.

“I will be leaving tomorrow.” He spoke, “If you do not wish to die I suggest you stay in your room while I’m gone.”

She only nodded slightly, letting him know that she had heard him. She closed her eyes as he stepped closer to her, drawing her into his strong chest. His arms wrapped around her tightly in an embrace that confused her senses. Was he being gentle? Or did he have a cruel thought in his mind? He held her head to his chest and she could hear the rhythmic beating of his heart. A small murmur escaped through her lips. Her eyes widened in fear at the sound she made and she waited for Sesshomaru to strike her. He didn’t move, but he could sense her sudden fear and the tensing of her muscles. He released her and stepped back. He studied her response to the loss of his body to hers. She cringed and clenched her eyes tightly shut. She was waiting to be struck.

“Wench, calm yourself.” He spat and sat back against a large gray boulder. He rolled his golden eyes in annoyance when she opened hers. She sunk up to her neck in the water. Her cheeks became pink with the slight blush. Sesshomaru eyed her. Why was she blushing? She was very beautiful, even for a human. She was just another prize for killing the filthy half-breed that was his half brother.

She splashed the warm water into her face and rinsed the dried blood from her cheek. The wound stung with her gentle pressing to remove what little caked on blood was left. She hoped he wouldn’t get the urge to reopen it.

OoOoOoO

Dinner was quiet between the two of them. Neither of them spoke and he waited for her to finish before showing her to her room and once again reminding her that it would be best for her to stay there until he returned. She nodded and he closed the door behind her.

Her room gave her the chills and she realized the smallness of it as she looked around. The bed was small and covered with a soft red fabric. It was obviously set up for a servant, but would serve as her shelter until she could escape. She sank into the bed. Her body still ached from her encounters with the Taiyoukai and she pulled the covers around her. She gave a few more thoughts to her escape until sleep finally won her over.

OoOoOoO

She awoke at the sound of her door opening. She shielded her eyes to the bright rays of the sun that leaked into her room. She sucked in a quick breath when she saw Sesshomaru at the door. He closed it behind him.

“I am giving you one last warning, wench. Do not leave this room.” His words were stern and frightening. She nodded again and shuddered. He wasn’t leaving and the reason was obvious. Kagome lay back and waited for him to be upon her. She closed her eyes as he stepped closer, climbing onto the bed and pulling at the clothing that confined her body. His lips pressed to her collarbone as the flesh became exposed. Kagome sighed at the gentle caressing. He narrowed his eyes slightly with her sound. She was leaning into his touch as if she wanted him to continue. Her eyes closed as he ran his hand along the front of her body, touching the crevasse between her round breasts and resting just below her navel. She sighed again when his hand stopped. He pulled away long enough to remove his own clothing and rejoined her side. She had to pretend to accept his demand or else he would hurt her, and she needed her strength for her escape.

He moved above her, his lips finding hers and commanding her to open up to him. He nipped her bottom lip and she opened her mouth and he slid his tongue right in. He tasted every area he could of her warm and inviting mouth. She dared to let her tongue mingle with his and she mentally smirked when he moaned at the feeling. He pushed her thighs apart with ease and slid himself in, surprised when her hips met up with his. He was intrigued by her newly found courage and it drove him to move against her faster.

His name left her lips as Kagome couldn’t help but be thrown over the edge into bliss by his movements. Her surrender was enough to send him into fulfillment after her. He collapsed onto her chest and breathed in deeply. He growled in frustration. It hadn’t gone on as long as he had wanted it to.

“We will continue this upon my return.” He replied and rolled off of her. Dressing himself he turned to face her one more time, “I do hope you’ll listen to my warning, wench. I would hate to return and find you dead.”

He slammed the door shut behind him leaving Kagome stunned at his words. No doubt he would allow the other youkai in the castle to kill her if she disobeyed his command. If they caught her escaping she would certainly be punished. She would have to be extra careful. She needed to leave and do it while he was gone. Or else she’d be trapped with him forever.

She rested throughout the morning. She had changed into a dark purple kimono with a pink sakura petal design. It wasn’t too heavy and she knew it would be perfect for escaping. She walked out onto the balcony from her room and peered down. Her room was not far from the ground. If she had to, she could probably jump. Biting her lip in concentration, she glanced at the objects around the room. There had to be something to use to climb down with. Her eyes fell on a small coil of rope hiding under a little wooden chest. Her heart leapt with joy. Pulling the rope from its place she smiled at the long length. This would get her down most of the way and she could drop safely. She tied one end tightly to the door handle and pushed it off to the side of the balcony.

The sun was setting as Kagome set foot on the ground. She swallowed hard and glanced around her. She remembered coming from the forest near the castle. That was the way she needed to return. She broke into a run, hoping that none of Sesshomaru’s servants caught on that she was leaving against their lord’s command.

She ran for what seemed to her like hours. Her hips were screaming in pain, but she fought on. She couldn’t understand why the pain in her hips was so strong and she fought back tears as it got worse. She sighed with relief as she caught sight of Kaede’s village, but she didn’t want to put her friends in danger. Sesshomaru would kill them just as he had InuYasha and she couldn’t bare that.

The well appeared before her as did a small kitsune that slept next to it. Kagome’s eyes flooded with tears. He was waiting for her.

“Shippo!” she cried and lifted him into his arms.

“Ka…Kagome?” he rubbed his tired turquoise eyes. Was he dreaming?

“Are you alright, Shippo?” she looked him over. He stared at her. She was freaking out.

“I’m fine, Kagome. I was worried. I thought you had a fight with InuYasha again and went home. Where is InuYasha? You guys have been gone so long. Sango and Miroku left me with Lady Kaede to go search for you guys.”

“Oh, Shippo!” she hugged him tightly. Tears poured from her eyes and it concerned the little kitsune.

“Kagome, what’s wrong? Why are you dressed like that? What happened to your face?” he sniffed her clothing and he frowned, “You smell like Sesshomaru.”

“Inu…InuYasha’s dead, Shippo. Sesshomaru killed him and kept me captive at his castle in the western lands. I managed to escape earlier.” Kagome sobbed.

“Which is not a lucky thing, wench.” Sesshomaru’s voice was cold and harsh. Kagome turned as he stepped into the clearing, “Now I will take comfort in killing you and that pathetic youkai in your hands.”

“You trust me right, Shippo?” her voice was shaky as she stepped onto the ledge of the well. He nodded and clung tight to Kagome’s clothing, “Good, you’re coming with me.”

She clutched him tightly to her chest and eyed Sesshomaru. He was starting for them and she jumped. She could see his face appear over the ledge of the well as she disappeared through the warm blue glow of the portal. She prayed that Shippo was still in her arms when she made it through.

“Kagome?” Shippo’s voice cracked with fear, “Kagome, I can’t breath.”

She released him only slightly and looked down into his turquoise eyes. She swallowed and dared a look up to the top of the well. She could see the roof of the well house glowing in the early morning light. Kagome sobbed and hugged Shippo tighter.

“We made it together.” She rose quickly and climbed the ladder with Shippo on her shoulder. She sighed happily at the sight of her house. Sesshomaru couldn’t reach her there and she was able to bring Shippo with her, “I hope you don’t mind, Shippo, but this is your new home. We cannot go back.”

Her home was quiet when she stepped inside. She led Shippo upstairs and into her room. He clung to her leg, fearing all the strange noises around him. She lifted him and set him on the bed.

“Kagome, how did this happen?” Shippo pouted, “I thought InuYasha was stronger?”

“He would have been if it weren’t for the new moon.” Kagome slipped into the covers, “Come on, Shippo. Let’s get some sleep. I’ll tell you about it later. My mom is going to freak when she finds out what happened.”

Shippo snuggled in next to Kagome and was asleep within minutes. She watched the little kitsune and cried. All she had to remind her of InuYasha was Shippo and an unfinished jewel.
