Author's Note: Well, this is my first InuYasha story. I am sort of writing it for a friend who told me about a concept she liked and asked me to apply it to the InuYasha characters. I loved it and jumped right in! Let me know if you like it. I have a lot of chapters, but I won't put them on here if it seems like no one likes it. Thanks for reading! Oh yea... and I don't own any of the InuYasha characters... but oh man if I did!

Kagome Higurashi heard a familiar voice release a painful cry and began running towards her family's farmland. 'What could be happening?' she thought in sheer panic and her long legs quickly carried her across the land. That's where she saw it. Blood. Everywhere. She paused in horror before continuing in search for her mother, grandpa and older brother. "Mother! Grandpa! Souta!" she cried frantically searching through the tall wheat her family has been growing. The Higurashi family was among the lower class in Japan but was known for their uncanny luck in growing wheat for the village. The family not only grew great amounts of wheat, however. Their young daughter was also the protector of a great treasure. The large village they dwelled in was called Shikon village and it held the most precious treasure that all of Japan was after… the Shikon Jewel, or Jewel of Four Souls. It held the ability to grant demons great power and humans their greatest wish. The Shikon village held great responsibility in protecting the jewel, however with great responsibility comes great risk. The village was constantly under attack by surrounding villages and demons after the jewel. It was never any surprise to Kagome when she heard battle cries during the day and night, but today was different. The pained cry she heard today was undeniably from her grandpa… and he was never involved in battle.

Finally, she heard a weak feminine voice call out her, "Kagome." Kagome rushed in the direction of the voice only to find her mother and brother crouched over her grandfather. She quickly looked him over only to find a large pool of blood collecting underneath him. He had many slash wounds undoubtedly from a large blade. "Grandpa… what happened here?" Kagome asked with great passion. "My child" he began, "they are still here. Hide yourself until they leave." Kagome face filled with question. "They? Who are you talking about?" She asked quickly. "There's not much time…you… must…hide…" her grandpa began, but ended with his last breath escaping his lips. "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Kagome cried, lowering herself to hold the cold body of her grandpa. Next to them, her mother and brother began to hold one another, freely allowing tears to fall from their dark eyes. "Awww, what a touching moment!" a deep voice said smugly.

Kagome's reddened and tear stained face looked up from her kneeling positing to see who dared to speak so wretchedly at a time like this. As her head began to rise, she realized she was face to face with powerful looking calves covered in wolf hair. She looked further up, noticing that the man who stood before her had a terribly strong demonic aura about him. His deep black hair was gathered in a tight high ponytail surrounded by a brown headband. His well-toned body seemed to glow as the summer son shone down upon the farmland. His shoulders, hips and chest area were covered with a sort of wolf-skin armor. His royal blue eyes seemed to pierce brown ones as he stared down at her with an amused grin on his face. 'Oh no, he must be apart of the group Grandpa was talking about! It must be a group of demons!!' she thought with fear. "Wench, why do you cry so?" he asked Kagome with fake pity. She could not believe how arrogant this demon was. "You bastard! How dare you speak to me like that! Are you responsible for the killings in my family's land?" she asked with hatred burning in her eyes. "My my you're a fiery wench! Yes, my dear, my wolf pack and I are looking for the Shikon Jewel which resides in this village. The villagers were not too eager to give up the jewel, so I decided to get rid of anything or anyone who stood in my way!" the wolf demon replied never wiping the smug grin off of his handsome face. "Oh, and one more thing." the demon added, "My pack is taking over this village of yours, and any of you who have survived our previous pillage are now our slaves." Kagome stared in disbelief at the satisfied look the wolf had on his face. 'What makes him think that any of us will submit to him and his pack?' Kagome wondered.

Just then, Souta knelt before the wolf demon and said, "Sir, please take me and the rest of the able bodied men from the village, but leave our women and children be. Please, I beg of you!" The wolf threw back his head and let go a hearty laugh. "How very noble of you boy!" he said swiftly knocking the boy over, "However, slaves are in no position to make requests from their masters and you will remember as such if you value your life." As he finished his statement, and another less muscled looking wolf demon ran over to him. "Kouga!" he yelled, "We still can't find the jewel, maybe it's not here!" The younger wolf was quite out of breath and followed by one more wolf demon of similar stature. Kagome smiled to herself at the thought of them giving up their search and leaving their village alone, however, to her dismay, Kouga seemed to notice her hopeful expression. "We are not giving up our search. The jewel is here… isn't it my sweet?" Kouga asked Kagome who immediately scowled at the demon and turned her face away from him. Kouga, getting quite irritated, grabbed Kagome roughly by the wrist and yanked her up to him. He wrapped his muscled right arm around her tiny waist and pressed her to his chest. "You know where the jewel is, don't you woman?" He asked her. Kagome struggled to free herself from his strong clutch. "Let go of me you bastard! Who the hell do you think you are?" She screamed in his face still trying to get free. Kouga merely laughed. "You certainly are a feisty one aren't you? And quite lovely!" he said groping her butt. "Oh yes you are. You will be my personal slave… how does that sound?" Kagome stopped struggling and gave him the sweetest smile she was capable of before spitting right in his face. "You've got a lot of nerve thinking you can just own me or anyone in my village! We are a strong, independent people that will not be taken…" and before she could finish her statement, Kouga pinched a nerve in her neck making her pass out. "This woman seems to know where the jewel is and is now mine. Alert the rest of the pack that she is off limits to all… especially the hanyou. That bastard will not take what is mine… no one will. Is that understood?" Kouga said throwing Kagome over his muscled shoulder. "Yes Kouga!! Right away! But what about the others?" the first younger wolf demon asked. "This village is under our control now. Take whatever women you would like. The men, old or able bodied will become our workers. Place them in the barn. The children we have no use of… drive them out. The only children residing in this land from here on out will be from our pack. Nothing more. Now go!" Kouga barked. As Kouga turned to take Kagome to his new home, Kagome's mother threw herself at his feet. "Please sir! Don't hurt my daughter!" she begged. "Out of the way wench! You hold no claim on her anymore." Kouga said, knocking her aside.

Kagome awoke in a warmly lit room. She sighed to herself thinking, 'Thank goodness, it must have been just a nightmare!' She then tried to stretch her legs and realized she could not move her right one. "What the…" she said aloud. She frantically reached down to her right leg only to find it chained to a large bed covered in furs and silks. 'Oh no!' she thought, 'it wasn't a dream. Where am I?' "Ahh, I see you're finally awake." An all too familiar voice said smoothly.
