Disclaimer: I do not now, nor will I ever own Inuyasha or any of its affiliated characters. That is until I take over the world and steal in for myself. But until then it's safe with its awesome author.

Summary: This is a feudal era based fanfic, its mature so don't read it if you have virgin eyes, though I'm pretty discrete with the nasty stuff. It's Sessh/Kag, so the whole story is centered on them. This is a romance and though it's dark in the beginning the sun does come out, Enjoy.

Chapter 1

A beautiful young girl stares blankly at the mirror as two servants rush around her, brushing her hair in to a perfect black curtain reaching down to her hips, highlighting her deep blue eyes

with charcoal black liner and pale gold eye shadow and placing a simple shade of pink on her lips. To anyone she would have been simply stunning; most girls would have looked in the

mirror and be more than pleased to see her reflected back. Kagome however only ever focused on one thing when she looked in the mirror, the necklace secured permanently on her neck.

It was also beautiful, a deep purple metal choker with gold blossoms etched throughout it, and in the front was a gold loop. Kagome had in fact not peered at her reflection since she

ended up in Naraku's keep. Since the day her world was destroyed and all traces of her innocence and childhood were taken from her. It was the last day she could remember any glimmer

of happiness.

"Shippo you have to stay here where it's safe." Kagome told him quietly while hugging him to her chest as he cried. "NOOOOOO, I wanna come, I want to fight, it's my battle too!" he wailed.

"Kaede is the only one who can protect you, don't you understand no one can watch out for you when we're in battle, it could get you or one of us killed, I know you've been training and your fox

magic is strong, but those demons you've been killing are dust in comparison to Naraku. Please honey I'm begging you, stay here, and be safe, if anything should go wrong I need you to stay here

and help Kaede protect the village." Kagome said as she rocked him back and forth as he tears began to slow. Shippo hugged her as tight as he could and whispered in her ear "I love you mommie."

Kagome choked on her tears and whispered back "And I love you, my son." Then she put him down. Kagome was now 18 and Shippo now stood level with her chest. Shippo wiped the tears from

his face and puffed out his chest feigning a smile. He then walked outside to say goodbye to the rest of the group, Kagome at his heels. Standing outside the hut everyone was getting their things

together for battle, Totosai was sharpening Inuyasha's sword. Sango was fixing the few nicks in her boomerang. Miroku was shining his staff. Inuyasha was practicing battle stances and mock

fighting with Kirara. Kagome walked over and examined her bow before filling her quiver with arrows. She took a deep cleansing breathe and while smiling and looking and Shippo she asked

"Everyone ready?"

***************************************************************************************************************************************************


Kagome was pulled off memory lane by a servant tugging her up. She rose and stood glancing around her depressing little chamber. It wasn't meager by any sense of the word, it was

just her prison. The room was decent sized with light blue walls, but no windows, in the center of the room was a very large futon covered in pillows and a ton of blankets made of exotic

furs, all color coordinated in pinks and blues. Next to the bed was a hand craved nightstand the legs designed to look like vines, there was also a matching dresser and vanity table, and in

the corner was a small door that leading to a bathroom. She cringed as one of the servants attached a leash to the golden loop in the front of her necklace. She tugged lightly "Come now

the master awaits, you know what happens when you're late." She scolded. Kagome cringed further remembering the pain from the last time she showed up in his room a moment too

late, after which she was sent back to her old room in the basement, a six foot room in all directions made of all concrete with a small pile in hay and blanket in the corner, and small pot in

the middle for a toilet.

A blindfold was placed over her eyes, which was always done; Naraku told her that way you won't know how to get around if ever you were lucky enough to escape your room. She was

then lead along by the two servants one in the front tugging on her neck now and then for kicks the other followed quietly behind to ensure there was no escape. They were both demons

and all though she was a priestess, in her weakened state she doubted she could take them. On top of that, the necklace which disgustingly doubled as a collar also had another fun use

of suppressing her powers, which had finally fully awakened. 'Had I not been so distracted I could have. . .' Her thoughts trailed off as she thought of the last moments of their last battle.

Suddenly she was being thrust through a door; she landed on her hands and knees and before she could stand someone was by her side. "Ready for me already?" He asked mockingly.

She didn't reply, she almost never spoke unless pain was the alternative. He pulled her on to her feet and plucked off the blindfold. Pulling on the leash he half dragged her to the bed. He

unhooked the leash and pulled her down on the bed. He quickly pounced on her straddling her, making quick work of her intricate kimono. As he began to disrobe she looked up at him for

the first time in a very long time, noticing that he did indeed have a nice body but the disgusting creature housed in it clouded all that out. Naraku had started massaging her breast and

biting on her neck, she quickly forced herself to drift off, a technique she had taken weeks to perfect which now became her most pleasant of times. She would drift off to different places

usually with her friends in the days back before everything went to shit, sometimes of her family probably thinking she's dead in the modern day era.

Today she was laying in one of the greenest of fields filled with purple in yellow wild flowers releasing the sweetest of scents into the air, and there next to her holding her hand was Inuyasha, they

often held hands back then, she loved every second of it, it made her feel so linked to him and loved though he'd never really do it in front of the others unless she was injured or upset, I guess he

figured then they wouldn't much notice or care. Gazing up at the clouds she saw one shaped like a sword and pointed it out to Inuyasha, figuring he'd appreciate it, she giggled as he tilted his head

like a dog trying to make out the shape she proposed, but ended up giving up "Keh, They are just clouds Kagome, they have no real shapes." He grumbled looking slightly defeated. She laughed at

him again. "You really don't have much of an imagination do you, you can't all always just see things for what they are, you should try and also see them for what they could be." She looked over

and smiled at him warmly. He leaned in toward her, they're lips just began to touch. . . . . .

SMACK!, Kagome's cheek stung and throbbed. "Are you listening to be bitch?" Naraku demanded in his low dangerous voice. "Yes master," she ground out the last word with as much

disdain as she could get away with. "Then what did I just ask you?" He pressed "I'm sorry master I was paying to much attention to your touch to hear." She bullshitted in a sweet utterly

non threatening voice, one she'd be forced to use since she'd be given her new chamber. He looked almost satisfied with her answer, but slapped her again anyway, "I was asking you if

you wanted to get a little air today, but I guess not, that's a privilege those who ignore me don't deserve." He stated. Then he quickly, and loudly as usual, finished and cast her aside.

"This going off in your head while I'm gracing you with my presence is not going to work, what do I have to do to remind you that you are mine, you will always be mine until the day I get

sick of you and get rid of you just like the rest of the girls. You remember them?" He said. She shook her head yes fear crossing her face, when she first came her, everything was much

more violent, and she wasn't the only girl keep in the basement, torture and rape were common events, a lot of the women being human could not take it and died during, they were just

left there for a day as a reminder to say in line and behave as much as possible and maybe you won't end up like that. Her priestess powers and her drifting in her head are the only

things that have kept her alive, that and getting out of here it see Shippo. Her son her little baby boy was still out there somewhere. Though Naraku won he was still badly injured, and

lost all of his incarnations, he retreated for a chance to recuperate and has been held up in this abandoned castle ever since. A year and a half she'd been here. At least that's the closest

estimate, it's very hard to keep track of days with no sun. "Now lie back, I'm not through yet." He said and as she did so he strapped her wrists into to cuffs in the corners of the bed.

Kagome was finally back in her room. She had no idea how long she'd been in there but she was sore all over and felt disgusting as usual, having that vile man's hands all over her,

there's nothing she detested more. She went in the washroom and cleaned up to the best of her abilities, wiping out cuts and scratches. Then she went and curled up, drawing her knees

to her chest on the bed, tears forming as they always did after such an unpleasant experience. A small knock came at the door, which wasn't meant for her courtesy, it was a warning to

back away from the door. But instead of the common servants in stumbled a young thin slip of a girl, carrying a tray with a small bowl of rice and some water. She bowed her head and

walked toward Kagome. 'Where have I seen this girl before? She looks so familiar' she thought. Flashes of white and scenes from a couple in counters passed through her mind. "Rin?!"

she shouted.
