There were a couple of things that Kagome was sure of, without a doubt and one hundred percent. Sota was an annoying idiot who, for one reason or another, idolized and Inuyasha and wanted to be just like him. One plus one always equaled two.Shipphou was one of the cutest creatures on the planet. And Mirouku was a lech.
Of course, she was now having a hard time believing the last one. When compared to the men in this town, Mirouku was sweet and innocent and treated all women with the upmost respect. But then, most all the women in this town seemed to be whores, or prostitutes of one kind or another.
Kagome shivered slightly, wrapping her arms around herself tightly. She still couldn't remember much about what had happened over the past couple of days. She remembered Kouga showing up, just to check up on how she was, he said. And then she's gone off by herself to take a bath. And then ........ and then she's somehow ended up here.
She'd woken up in the middle of a hardwood floor,dressed in only her undergarments, with a group of men standing around her, calling out numbers, prices to pay for ........ something.
Those men were still there, actually. And there were more of them. They kept on glancing at her, sometimes leaning in close to sniff at her. And the numbers were getting ridiculously high.
And the way they were talking about her wasn't helping much, either. It was obvious that they were bidding for her, trying to buy her.
Kagome Higurashi was about to be sold to the highest bidder.
Kagome hugged her knees tighter to her chest, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill over her cheeks. She would not, not in front of these slimy bastards.
Okay, well, not all of them were slimy. A couple of them were actually quite good looking. Until you saw they way they leered at her, watched her as if she was a slab of meat up for sale at the market.
"Going one, going twice ........ sold, to the fine young man in the back!" A loud voice suddenly hollered above the crowd, amidst the grumblings of the men surrounding here.
Sold? Where was Inuyasha? Why wasn't he here? Wasn't he supposed to come swooping down from the heavens to rescue her? But no, there was no Inuyasha, only two pairs of hands grabbing her up, showing her off deeper into whatever establishment it was that she's found herself in.
Nobody was going to save her. Nobody was comming to rescue her. While she could hold onto that hope, Kagome had been able to fight back the fear that threatened to overwhelm her. But now ........ now she could only do what any sane girl in her position would do.
Kagome fainted.
