Something There
Chapter 1:Belittleing Her

Summary: Kagome is a servant in Sesshomaru's castle. Burdened by his remarks she tries to flee.

Kagome sat at her lords feet while he tended to his work. She had been a servant all her life and didn't know freedom. He was always rude to her and lost his temper often. Her heart became heavy when she was around him, knowing she would do something 'un-perfect'. She took his tea tray once he was finished and began to leave the room. She tripped and fell hard onto the stone floor. He stood and began yelling as usual.

"Your useless! You insolent weakling!"Tears came to her eyes. He was so dis-respective and always belittled her. Sure she was clumsy but she was human. . . .human. Maybe that's why he hated her. She was a human. Maybe the Yourkais and humans weren't meant to be cooperative with one another.

"I'm sorry master!"She collected the shattered dishes and tray and left the room for the kitchen.

She passed by the main door that lead to the outside. I place she barely knew. The thought of freedom overwhelmed her and she gently sat the tray down on the end table. She approached the door and traced the carvings of an Inu-Yourkai in the oak wood. This was the closest thing to a home she had, she had no where to go, no where to stay. How could she chance living out in the cold forest than a warm bed and fireplace? The thought of Sesshomaru came to her mind again. He was so cruel and didn't appreciate her hard work. He was the only servant he let enter the west wing of his palace. She was the only person that had seen him be kind. She once looked at the desk were he had been working and saw a beautifully drawn portrait of her. It was so beautiful and it looked so much like her. She traced the sketch with her finger but he tore it up when she had seen. She dared not to question the picture but went on with her tasks. She walked back over to the table and retrieved the tray taking it to the kitchen.

She went back to his room and found him lying on his bed, eyes closed brow furrowed.

"Would you like anything else master? The day is almost done."

"No."he said simply. She left the room and closed the door silently. She heaved a sigh of relief and went back to the door leading to the outside. She would try to run. She would try to escape into freedom.

Meanwhile. . . . . . . . .

A young girl slipped into Sesshomaru's bedroom, closing the door softly behind her. She was 8 and the only being Sesshomaru would show affection to. Another woman entered the room holding the younger girl's hand tightly.

"Sesshomaru-samma. We would like to talk to you if it's alright."said Rin, the younger girl. Sesshomaru opened his eyes causing Sango, the older woman, to flinch.

"About what?"he said trying to keep his temper. He hated being desturbed.

"About Kagome."said Sango in a hushed voice. "She's going to try and escape."Sesshomaru looked upset and bothered.

"Why!"He demanded yelling at the pair of humans. The weak useless breed.

"Because of your temper!"She yelled back surprising him and Rin. She took a deep breath and calmed down. "You belittle her and hurt her, so she's going to escape. She'll get hurt if you don't stop her!"she said pleading, but Sesshomaru wasn't going down that easily.

"I'm not chasing after a weak mortal. If she dies she dies, it doesn't matter to me."Sango was instantly outraged.

"How can you say that! Your heartless and cruel that's what you are! Your going to let her die!"he eyed her and mounted to his height.

"Get out!"he yelled at her. The two ran from the room Sango crying desperately.

Back with Kagome. . . . . . .

Kagome's feet touched the cool wet grass as the night's wind blew across her face. Was this what it was like to have freedom? To be free? She ran off with one last look at the castle, into the woods that lead to a small town. She ran a ways until she could not see the hand in front of her own face. The tree branches were scraping her and whipping her. She stumbled through the darkness until finally the moon lit the forest for her. She saw beady yellow eyes watching her intently, waiting for the proper moment to strike. Kagome had never been in real mortal danger. She had always been sheltered and protected by her lord, but he was no longer there. Fear engulfed her and she watched as wolf yourkai approached her from the surrounding trees. . . . . . . . . .

A/N: LonelyHanyouGirl here! What's up? Alright, I got this idea from reading a beauty and the beast/InuYasha fic. I thought it would be a good idea. Sorry to put you in suspense but I am not a very good writer. So some parts will be from beauty and the beast so don't kill me! Here this is much needed: I DO NOT own InuYasha or Beauty and The Beast! Wouldn't that be awesome though! Please review and let me know how I'm doing. I'm only 13!
