Chapter 1
"Grandpa? Sota? Mom?" A young girl calls out from the bottom of a dried up well. She slowly begins to climb up to the surface. "Hello? Can you guys help me up?" Her hazel eyes peer up to the surface and she spots a hand and grabs it, only to be brutally pulled up to the surface. "Ahh!" The loud scream stops after she is hurled to the ground. She lands on her back and she looks up in front of her, there stands a tall man with long silver hair. He's wearing a white outfit that seems ancient even to the kimonos that men wear today in Japan. She gazes into his face to discover two perfectly creamy amber eyes staring down at her, with what seemed to be disgust. She sits up a bit and pushes down the green skirt of her white and green uniform.
"I thought I had killed you" The man says in a harsh tone that gives her the chills. She keeps looking at his features only to spot a set of pointy ears emerging from behind the locks of silver hair.
"Huh? No . . . I'm ok . . . where are gramps and Sota?" She asks. She has spent so much time examining this stranger that she has yet to become aware of the wilderness that surrounds her. The man kneels in front of her and begins to sniff the area in front of her face. "Um what are you doing?" She asks as a small blush begins to dart across her face. He moves back and rises to his feet, allowing her to do the same. As she rises she looks around and realizes that they are in the middle of the forest and her family's shrine is nowhere in sight. 'This must surely be a dream' she thinks to herself as her gaze is reverted to the strange man.
"So you're just a look alike . . . . I suppose that is possible . . . . Perhaps the wench had a child . . . no you'd have to be around fifty years old . . . . Hmmm . . . . Could you be her reincarnation?"
"Excuse me but who or what are you, and what do you mean that I could be the reincarnation of someone?"
"Mind me woman. You will suite me well. I can use you for my next plan to torture my brother and bring him dismay. What do you think about that?"
"I think nothing of it and refuse to be a part of this lunacy! Now how do I get home?" She says very sternly as she gazes up at him. He grabs her arms forcefully, disturbing the ruffles in her uniform. She begins to try and pull away, but his hold on her is too strong.
"Know your place before me woman! Don't you know I can shred you to piece--"
"I'm not afraid of a lowly coward like you who has to force woman to do his bidding! Now let go of me you distasteful pig!" His eyes open wide after hearing her remarks and then a slow grin appears on his face.
"Now, listen woman, I will help you get home-"
"Hurray-"
"Now wait a minute. I will help you get home on one condition. You have to win my help. I will escort you to my mutt of a half brother's village. I will present you as my slave. I will tell him that I need him to make you obedient and you must obey his every command . . . Oh yes you will gain my help by making him fall in love with you. You must NEVER sleep with him under any circumstances or I will kill the both of you." With a smile of content the silver haired man lifts the young girl over his shoulder and begins to walk toward the village. She begins to struggle but to no avail, she cannot get free of his hold.
"So you will help me get home after I break your brother's heart?"
"Exactly"
"I don't think I can do it"
"Oh but you have to" He proceeds toward an opening in the forest and down a path that leads to a village in the distance. "What's your name woman?"
"Kagome"
"Remember out deal Kagome." He walks into a village and people seem to move out of his way as he walks down the streets of the village. A small green toad like man comes running toward Kagome and the man.
"Lord Sesshoumaru! I your loyal servant Jaken have waited here as you asked me" He said as he walked beside Sesshoumaru with a giant staff in his hand.
"Good job Jaken. Now where is my atrocious brother Inuyasha?"
"He's by the lake in the western outskirts of the village"
"Good. I will go and find him you stay here"
"But my lord-"
"Do as I say Jaken!"
"Yes Lord Sesshoumaru . . . do you mind telling me who this human you are carrying is?"
"It does not concern you Jaken." As Sesshoumaru continued to walk he heard a sigh from Kagome who he was still carrying on his shoulder. She had been struggling to keep the hair from his fur out of her mouth the whole time. Very suddenly Sesshoumaru takes her off his shoulder and lets her stand on the ground. She looks up at him as she walks by his side. He was holding her arm with much force and if she tried to move away she knew his grip would only tighten. As they continued to walk she spotted another silver haired man. There was something different about this man though. He seemed gentle and calm as he sat on a giant rock and gazed down into the lake. Sesshoumaru began to rush toward him and lunged Kagome into the lake in front of Inuyasha. He stares down at Kagome as she struggles to stay afloat in the water. Sesshoumaru explains the situation to Inuyasha who never removes his eyes from Kagome. "So you see Inuyasha I have no use for a disobedient slave woman. So you put her into shape and then I'll take her off your hands. If you do a good job I promise that I will no longer give you any turmoil."
"You've got a deal Sesshoumaru" Inuyasha's mildly manly voice calls out as he looks away from Kagome and straight at Sesshoumaru. "I will do what you say but you must keep your promise. I want to live the rest of my days with no worries." Sesshoumaru lets out a smile, and walks away. Inuyasha's gaze returns to Kagome, who is now at the shore of the lake and climbing out. 'Why does she look like Kikyo? Is this another one of Sesshoumaru's plans to make me suffer? Of coarse, I will not let him get the best of me I will train this woman to be a good slave. Whether she wants to be or not'
