Title: Escaping Slavery

Prologue: Chapter 1: I Don't Belong to Him

Summary: Slaves. That's what they were. All of them were made into slaves in someway. And only two of them dared to try and escape it. They had a cruel master, a hard life, and could only depend on each other, for none of them had anything left.

Disclaimer: me: I'm sorry to say, that I don't own them. Although I own a few unknown characters. One of the main characters and then some background ones. So, enjoy the story.

Oh yeah, before I forget. This story takes place in the feudal era. Just to let you know.


Story: "She's escaped! She's escaped again!" shouted many men running in, out and around the small mansion. It was very dark out with a cool night air. Candlelight lit each room in the mansion as men, mostly demons, searched each room for the girl who had escaped.

They could hear their master calling for them to find her and quickly for he and a few other slaves were leaving to go to one of the new houses he had bought. "Find her you fools. She couldn't have gotten far." His deep dark voice commanded. "Don't hurt her though, I'd like her back unharmed."

"Yes sir." They replied and left the area.


In the night, a young woman ran through the darkness. She wore a dark cloak and hood that covered her face, and the cloak, which was is about ankle length, covering her body.

She had managed to sneak out just as dusk was setting in. She was in the gardens at that time, and when it seemed that no one was around, she made a dash through it and hopped the wall using some of her demon powers.

She thought that she was finally free, when she picked up on the sound of a gong going off, signaling that she had gotten away…again. 'I'll come back and get you, but not now. You won't survive the punishment.' She thought. But she swore to herself that if she gets away, that she would come back for the little girl who had gotten so attached to her.

She continued to run. There were no stars out tonight, and no moonlight to guide her. She began to wonder if leaving when there was no light was a good idea. But both would have disadvantages and advantages.

If the young woman were to leave during a night with moonlight, then, she would be able to see where she was going and if someone were following her. But, the light would not allow her to hide herself.

If she were to leave on a moonless night such as this, then the darkness would protect her and give her somewhere to hide. However, the darkness makes it harder to see, even with her emerald green demon eyes, she may end up going straight to a dead end or wind up being attacked by another demon.

The reason she knew most of this was that she had tried to escape many times, but she always failed. Many wondered why she still continued to bother with it. But usually she replied, "I belong to no one. He will not have me and I will have my freedom back." Some believed her to be stupid, others brave. No matter how many times she was punished, she bounced back. Everyone in this house knew of her. She protected those that were scared, weak and didn't know what was going on.

She decided to think of this later. Right now, she must get as far away this night as possible. By the next day, she'll be harder to find, and she knows that they know that.

"Almost there." She said to herself. But then she stopped and looked around the field. She jumped in the air, fully avoiding an attack form a demon she recognized from the master's house.

"The master would like to see you." He said, though she did not back down. It seemed as if he were the only one there, but she knew better.

As soon as she landed, another youkai made a move to tackle her to the ground. But she jumped up again, bad move. As soon as she was in the air, she could feel something wrap around her waist, as she was pulled down, crashing into the dirt.

The woman attempted to stand but more men grabbed her arms and legs keeping her firmly in place. She struggled, but that only succeeded in them getting more forceful. When they finally let her up, her hands were bind together with metal shackles.

The literally dragged her back to the mansion, where the man she hated most in the world stood at the front gates awaiting her 'return', if one could call it that.

She felt like some kind of animal, the way they pushed and pulled her. How they would look down at her like some lowly scum. How she hated them, if a slave may have an opinion.

Once they returned, she looked up with hateful eyes at the one who everyone called their master or Lord, Naraku. He looked at her, with dark red eyes. She felt as if he were undressing her with his eyes and inwardly shuddered. After a minute, he spoke. "You didn't think that I'd let you get away did you? Now, bring her in, we must get ready for our departure." He entered the gates followed by the five demons that recaptured her.

'This is not over. I will get away from you.' She thought following the men back into that hellhole.

To be continued…


So what did you think? I know it was probably odd, but I've already gotten an idea for the next chapter. Um, this is also my first fanfic based on slavery, so be gentle please. See ya later! Oh, and sorry it was short, hopefully the next one will be longer, so...
