Chapter 1

In the great kingdom of Inu no Taisho, the people lived in peace. Their king might be a great dog demon, but he was very honorable. But like every king even he would need to step down. King Taisho had two sons, his first son Sesshomaru was from his first mate and Queen. Queen Yuzuki, who was killed by an enemy with a powerful monk. Queen Yuzuki was a full dog demon like the king. Then years later after his first mates death, he fell in love with a slave girl Named Izayoi. Yes the full-blooded demon king mated a human girl, who gave him his second son InuYasha. Which made InuYasha a hanyou, and hated by his older brother.

King Taisho loved both his sons as if they were equal in demon nature. But Sesshomaru did not agree with his father on this. And so when Queen Izayoi died of old age. InuYasha was only six years old by human years. Leaving him with no mother figure to love him. So InuYasha grew up hating everyone. InuYasha never stepped outside of the palace. He knew he was different and chose to stay to himself. Never leaving his room except for meals.

Sesshomaru however, stayed close to his father learning how to fight with a sword. Plus he traveled with his father to different kingdoms to make peace or buy slaves.

And to make matters worse, king Taisho was now worried for other reasons. A new enemy had appeared out of nowhere. Which also meant a new war, and if the king would fall who would rule the kingdom? One of his sons would have to mate by demon customs first. No demon could be king without taking a Queen.

The great king was also growing tired of his second sons behavior. But decided if InuYasha didn't want to rule so be it! But Sesshomaru would still need a mate before he could be king. And even though he traveled with his father. Sesshomaru would not even look at the oposite sex.

A knock came to the king's door at that moment. Standing the king shook his mind clear of all his past thoughts of his sons. Opening his royal study door, he king saw two of his best guards along with six others. Bowing the first guard announced. "The new slaves have arrived my king."

The kingdom did have slaves but they were treated fair. The king would always smell each slave over just incase an enemy would've tried sending someone in. Plus he wanted to give his word that as slaves. They would be treated fair as long as they didn't step out of line.

Among the men one woman stood in the very back. She was in her teens the king knew that much. The king noticed she seemed badly beaten and sickly. Motioning her away from the rest of the slave men, the king then spoke. "Guard I want this woman treated at once. Let Lady Kikyo know that I want this girl's injuries treated as well as her sickness. When she is well she will be royal caretaker for my two sons." The guard bowed to the king then was on his way with the young woman.

Turning back to the second guard and the men standing in line the king spoke again. "As for the rest of you men, you will go with the other guard. You will all be given special work assignments, depending on you talents." The king then bowed to the guard and the men and left. The king was not one of many words and since he wanted to see how the girl was doing. Was on his way to Lady Kikyo's special room. The great king had his reasons for making the girl a servant to his two sons. He only hoped that at least one of his sons would take her as a mate.

Knocking on Kikyo's door, the king then entered. Kikyo had just finished bandaging the young woman's wounds. "How is she Lady Kikyo?" King Taisho asked, while walking towards the two ladies.

"Well my king, she has not spoken. So I have no idea as to how injured she really is. But from the looks of her wounds. I'd say she has been beaten more then once, and for along time too. Many of her scars are very old looking."

A growl escaped the great Taisho's lips. "Damn the fools that would do such stupid things to a beautiful young woman." The girl stated to shake at the kings angry voice.

"Easy my king, she scares easily." Kikyo said, as she took the girl in her arms. Seeing the young woman so battered and upset, the king decided to leave. Giving both woman a bow, the king then left.

Lady Kikyo gave a heavy sigh. "It's okay my child, he is a very good king. He will never hurt you, and I'm sure you will live out your life very happy here. So please just relax and could you tell me your name?" Put she never answered Kikyo. Giving a weak smile to the young woman, Kikyo then replied. "I understand, I too would most likely stay mute after such a life you have had."

Kikyo held the young woman . until she was calm, then Kikyo finished bathing, dressing, and feeding the young woman. But through it all she never spoke a single word. And even though Lady Kikyo knew that this was normal for someone who was abused, she was worried that the king would not Understand this though. Even the kind can get frustrated with such things. Plus she knew the king had order the new girl to be royal caretaker for his sons. This was another reason she feared for the girl. But Lady Kikyo decided to just wait. Maybe things would turn out okay in the end.

The king decided to let his sons know that a new slave would be tending to their needs. But he wouldn't let them know just yet that it would be a young woman. So stopping at his first son's door he knocked then entered. "You know father most wait for this Sesshomaru to say enter, before entering directly."

King Taisho chuckled at his sons words. "And most do not question the great Inu No Taisho either." Sesshomaru only "huh" at his father's words.

After place his sword back in it's sheath, Sesshomaru then approached his father. "You do realize this is my sword practicing time father. What is so important that you need to interrupt me?"

Crossing his arms King Taisho continued. "I have come to inform you, that you and your brother will have a royal caretaker looking after you both." a growl from Sesshomaru caused the king to stop for a brief moment. Giving his son a look that meant you will obey, the king then spoke. "You WILL honor this person." Giving his son a bow, the king left the room. Not giving his son a chance to speak.

"Damn you father! I don't need a caretaker." Sesshomaru growled out after his father left his room.

When the king came to his second son's room he cursed. 'Damn this boy needs to get out his room. I swear if he doesn't soon change his way of living, I'll do it for him.' King Taisho thought, as he entered the room never even knocking. "INUYASHA!" King Taisho yelled. Walking through his son's dark room, as he started to growl. "Answer me! Unless you want me to find you and put you in your place!"

"Keh, you put me in my place! Like that's going to happen." InuYasha said, walking up to his father.

"You know what son, someday you will have a rude awakening. All you ever do is stay in this god for saken room of yours." The king growl out. *sigh* "look I have arranged for one of the new slaves to be royal caretaker for you and your brother. So when I call you and your brother to my study. I EXPECT you to show up, other wise I will kick your ass out of this kingdom!"

Not giving his son time to counter his words, he left the room. Picking up a chair InuYasha throw it at the very door his father just left through. "Damn him, what does he know. I'm just an ungly hanyou, and I don't need no god damn caretaker!

king Taisho was shocked to find Lady Kikyo waiting for him in his study room. "My Lord if I may, could I have a quick word with you? It's about the young slave girl." Sitting down in his chair the king asked Kikyo to proceed. "So Lady Kikyo what have you found out about the girl?"

*Sigh* "It's just that she will not speak and is easily frightened. I fear she will not do well with your son's. We both know how your sons are, they're not very compassionate."

Giving a heavy sigh, king Taisho spoke. "Fine, what do think we should do?"

"I'm not sure my king, I fear her past life has left her mute." Understanding Kikyo's words the king nodded, then answered. "She will stay close to me for now, once she learns she is safe here. Maybe she will come around. But she will need a name."

Bowing to the king, Lady Kikyo then spoke. "I shall name her my king, until we learn her true name." Giving Kikyo a nod yes, she left the king to his work.

Lady Kikyo made her way to the young woman's new room. Thinking of how she could prepare the girl to meet the king's sons. When Kikyo entered the girl's room. She found the girl sitting on her futon. Her arms were wrapped around her legs, and her head rested on her knees. 'She looks so lost and broken.' Kikyo thought, as she walked up to the young woman. Stopping in front of her Lady Kikyo asked. "Do you mind if I sit down next to you?"

The young woman just shrugged her shoulders. Placing a hand on the young girl's shoulder, Kikyo continued. "Would it be alright if I gave you a name?"

The girl didn't respond at first, but then spoke in a very quiet voice. "I-I...h-have a n-name." This totally caught Kikyo by surprise.

"I see, well what is your name child?"

Giving a heavy sigh, the girl said. "It's K-Kag...ome.." A tear fell down her cheek as she said her own name.

Taking Kagome in her arms, Kikyo comforted her. "There, there child. It's okay, and you have a very pretty name my child. But why are you crying?"

After a few sniffs, Kagome answered her. "I'm crying because, every time I was sold to someone new it was always the same thing. First the man who bought me would r-r-rape me. And as he forced himself on me he would call out my name, over and over again." More tears fell, as Kagome explained her life of rape and abuse.

Kikyo continued to hold and comfort Kagome as she cried. "It's okay my child, you are safe now. The king will not allow such behavior here. And he wishes you to stay close to him. Until you feel safe here."

Kagome thought for a minute, then spoke. "I would like to stay here, in my room for a few more days. If that's alright with him."

Kikyo nodded that she understood, then left to get some tea for her and Kagome. That evening Kikyo told king Taisho everything about Kagome's life of slavery and abuse. Needless to say, he was not pleased to hear that any young woman would be treated in such a way. "Damn fools!" The king cursed. "Kagome may stay to herself for a week, but no longer. I fear depression will set in. If it has not already."

Bowing to the king, Kikyo agreed. Then went back to Kagome, as much as Kikyo knew the king was only looking out for Kagome's mental health. She also knew and feared that the king's two sons would probably be more then Kagome could handle. But Kikyo would prepare her as best she could.

So Kikyo spent the next week doing just that. Kikyo told Kagome, about Lord Sesshomaru and his half brother InuYasha. Kagome didn't really know what to think. Soon she would be caretaker to the king's sons. She feared her past life of rape and beatings would return. Shaking her head of those terrible thoughts. She remember Kikyo's words from the king. That she was safe here, so why would she even think about such things?
