Author's Note: To the one reveiwer, I desided to go over the story and add some details. To first reviewer-- I am not going to stoop down to your level and be mean to you, but here is what I have to say. I did add a few details here and there, but my way of writing is mine and mine only. I like to leave details out so your own mind can create your own image of the story. That's what I like about reading books. If you don't like it, keep it to yourself. I am not looking for improvement, but looking for ways to show my ideas. I don't care for what you have to say if you aren't going to be nice. Please, don't review again if you are going to be so rude. Besides, you shouldn't talk about me having typos when you can't even press the space bar. o.O -- To first reviewer.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any other pwnsomeness.

Ages(so far): Kagome- 18 (p.s.: others don't really matter, yet)

Tonight's catch will be the best. It has to be.

The demon ran into the night, slipping around corners and ducking behind random objects. He looked over the crowd. Nothing good there. The demon turned and searched over the next few people. He was to find alother girl to be sold into slavery. His job was somewhat illegal, but people should know to watch out after how many were kidnapped and never seen again.

No, no, and no. Nothing looked good tonight. He sneakily got back down to the lower floor of the store and saw a young girl shuffling through a rack of clothes. She was with others her age.

The demon overheard:

"Eri, come and look at this! It's so cute, and it's cheap!"

The girl-- Eri-- looked up from her rack and moved over to the young girl. "Oh, my gosh! You're right! This would look so hot on you! Yuki, come over here!" Yuki, some other girl that came from another rack of clothes brisked over to where Eri and the girl were.

"Wow, Kagome, this would be perfect for the first day of school." Yuki breathed after looking over the shirt.

"You think so? I'll go try it on." Kagome took the shirt off the rack in her size and went into the changing room.

Perfect.

The demon followed Kagome into the changing room, but before she took off any clothes he jumped over the wall into her changing room.

Kagome was about to yell for help, but the demon covered her mouth and sprayed toxic in her face, making Kagome fall into a trance.

:

"Master, I brought you somthing, you undoubtably will love." The demon said huskily. He moved out of the way to show off a sleeping Kagome, sitting in a chair.

"Why, Hanoshi, this... is perfect," a man from the other side of the room stated.

Hanoshi bowed his head respectfully. "Thank you, master."

The man rose out of his own chair and walked forward. He nodded to Hanoshi, a sign of dismissal. The demon scurried off.

"You will fetch a marvelous price." The man, who turned out to be a demon, as he stepped into the light, snapped his fingers, and two doors opened.

"Get the girl ready. In two days I want to put her on the market."

A women stepped out and nodded. "As you wish." She hustled over, bowed, then took Kagome from where she was and picked her up.

:

Kagome's eyes flickered open as she woke up. She sat up and looked around. "Where am I?" Kagome mumbled.

Where she was there were no windows, so shadows played all around the room. The only light came through the crack of a door. The door opened and standing in the doorway was a short woman. "So, I see you've awaken," the woman nodded her head. "Follow me."

"Wait, where am I?" Kagome said again.

The women shrugged, as if it was no use telling Kagome where... she would be leaving soon anyways.

"This way, now." The woman urged.

Kagome sighed and nodded. Once they got to another room and the woman stopped, Kagome desided it was time to ask another question.

"What am I doing here?"

The woman looked over her shoulder at Kagome, then sighed.

"You are to become a slave." Kagome felt herself tense up.

"It's no use running away. Girls have done it before. This place is a maze. Only one person knows how to get around it. Once a girl got lost and died of starvation. We found her a week later. It was just her bones left. A pity." The woman shook her head.

"Now, no use fighting, is there? Make my job easy. Hold still," she said, and placed Kagome over in the middle of the room. The woman walked into a closet-like thing and pulled out an outfit. "Shiniku got these for you. She is the dressmaker." Kagome nodded her head slowly and took the outfit from the woman. "Put it on. I do hope you know how to do that." Kagome nodded again and put it on, discarding her other clothes. The woman put the discarded clothes into a trashcan-like bin and the bin made a surging noise.

Kagome changed into a red and black tiger-striped tank top. It was cute, but it made Kagome uncomfortable about the amount of cleavage the shirt helped show off. Her hair flowed easily down her neck, around her shoulders. Kagome was also wearing jean short shorts and red flats. The thing that made her scared was that everything fit her perfectly... hugging every curve on her body.

The woman turned around when Kagome changed and shook her head. "Huh! That Shiniku knows her outfits!" She looked up at Kagome's face, which was slightly tilted to the side, in question. To change the subject, the woman said, "My name is Mykio." Kagome nodded.

"Mine's Kagome," she murmured. Mykio nodded.

"Now, time for the hair and make-up! I'll bring in Toilu." Mykio scrambled out the door, and in place of her came another girl, whom Kagome guessed was Toilu.

"Hello, I'm Toilu." The girl, not much older than Kagome said.

"Kagome." Toilu nodded like Mykio.

"You must've heard it's time for your make-up..." Kagome nodded,

"Yup."

"Well, take a seat here." Toilu pointed towards the chair next to Kagome. Kagome complied and sat in the seat.

Toilu started by putting a plastic dress over Kagome so no water and hair would get on her outfit. Toilu began by washing Kagome's hair. This felt nice to Kagome, but she told herself not to get too used to this, because she somehow knew it wouldn't become a custom.

After washing Kagome's hair, Toilu dryed it and put in some deep conditioner, lathering it in her hair. This made Kagome's hair shine, and it reflected off her bright brown eyes. Toilu turned on a curler and began to curl her black hair in small and big curls. The curls naturally framed Kagome's face, and Kagome was suprised at how good she looked with just some deep conditioner and curlier hair.

Next Toilu moved onto Kagome's face. Toilu brought out a whole big makeup kit from the closet Mykio got Kagome's outfit from and set it on a table in front of Kagome. First Toliu cleaned Kagome's face of any dirt and scrime, and cleansed it. Toilu noticed Kagome didn't need any foundation for her pale but flawless face, so she moved onto Kagome's eyes. She took some redish eyeshadow and told Kagome to shut her eyes. Kagome obeyed while Toilu did her thing.

When Kagome opened her eyes again, her eyes were coated in a perfect layer of the eyeshadow. After Toilu took out a black pencil eyeliner and started to lightly line Kagome's eyes. Toilu didn't do that much because Kagome's eyes already looked big and bright, and didn't really need all that much of anything else to make her eyes stick out. They already did that naturally.

Toilu took out a mascara tube and pulled out the wand. She only lightly went over Kagome's bottom lashes because it wouldn't look that natural if she did it there too much. Kagome didn't even need that much black mascara because her top lashes were already really rather thich and long.

Toilu took out a light red lipstick and took off the cap. "Ahh," she said, a word that meant for Kagome to open her mouth (a.n.: if you didn't already know.) Kagome opened and Toilu started to fill Kagome's lips in with the lipstick. After Toilu started to rub her lips together and pointed to her mouth, silently telling Kagome to do the same. Kagome took it as a sign that Toilu didn't like telling people what to do.

After that, Toilu pulled out a tube of clear lipgloss. Kagome opened her mouth to get it over with faster and Toilu nodded. Toilu unscrewed the cap to the 'gloss and spread it over Kagome's lips, help making them shine.

Kagome gasped when Toilu turned Kagome around in the seat to see how she looked in the mirror. She looked like a girl going to prom, the way her cheeks were slightly pink from being flustered.

Toilu smiled at her work and started making her way to the door.

"I suggest you get some sleep, tomorrow will be..." she paused, searching for the right word. "Tiring," she said. And with that, she left.

Where am I supposed to sleep? There is no bed...

Just then a bed came down from a side of the wall. Kagome realised it was a pull out bed. She made an 'O' shape with her mouth as she scrambled over to the bed and tried to sleep.

In the morning I'll find a way to get away... Kagome thought, drifting into slumber.

:

"Good morning, Kuh-gome." Hanoshi snarled.

"'Morning," Kagome mumbled, and opened one eye to Hanoshi.

"This is no time to daddle, let's go. First day of marketing! Aren't you just excited?!"

Kagome scrambled out of the bed. She slide her shoes on again, and followed Hanoshi out of the room. "What happens... today?" Kagome asked.

After hesitating, Hanoshi desided to answer. "Well... you stand beside Wimou while he makes offers to demons and such. Your going to be sold to one of them by the end of the end of the week. By the end of the week we give you to the demon who has offered us the biggest amount. But today... in the morning we need to find out what you can do."

What I... can do? And who is Wilmou?

Hanoshi led her to a room with many of things... a kitchen, a living room, a car, a sketchboard, and a dance floor.

What the...?

Kagome stared blankly at Hanoshi. He just rolled his eyes, then said, "We need to see what you can do. Cook, clean, drive, draw and dance.

Kagome tilted her head to the side for the second time since she was here. Huh?

"It might be weird to you, but you're a human, so just go along with it." Kagome shrugged. "Whatever I have to do," she sighed.

:

When Hanoshi came back to Kagome, he could see she could do all of them. And well. The dance floor told him she got all the steps right to every song and she cooked, cleaned, drove, and drew perfectly.

Hanoshi smiled to himself.

She will fetch a high price for Wilmou, and since I caught her, I will get most of the lot.

"Come along, Kagome. Time for the first day of marketing," he said, licking his lips.

Kagome followed him out the door and to the place where she would be up for selling.
