Sesshomaru was led to the chambers of the high prince. He was shaking, because, if one of the royal families wants to see a slave, the slave will be definitely punished. Of course, he had to be punished. Yesterday he brought the prince a snack. It was an honour for him. He had to bring the food because one of the high servants was ill. Obviously the prince had noticed that he passed out after the door to his rooms was closed. Yes, he dared to pass out. He had had a punishment before and he was exhausted from the hard work he had to do every day. This was no excuse for passing out before he had reached his cellar, but he had given a try and told the guards, who found him. He had realized too late, that this wasn't a good idea, so he was punished again. Fifty lashes with the whip and a beating he had gotten for this. It still hurts, but his demon healed the wounds, so his prince would think he had not being punished. The prince would order the guards to bring a whip, so they could punish him with the critical eyes of his highness on them. Or would the prince punish him by himself?

They came to the chambers and Sesshomaru was roughly shoved inside. The first thing he noticed was the prince, who stood at the balcony and watched the birds flying. Sesshomaru went to his knees and bowed low. He had not seen any whips or chains which meant, the prince would beat him as punishment or the prince would... Again he started to shake and a quite sob escaped his dry lips. The guards had left him with the prince alone. This was never a good sign. Tears ran down his cheeks. The prince would punish him.

When Inuyasha heard the sound, he awoke of his trance and turned to the slave. He was shaking badly. His guards had brought him in his chambers without his noticing. The birds were so fascinating, that he didn't notice that his favourite little slave was brought in. The King and the Queen gave him the permission to get a pet for himself. Of course, his parents meant a real pet, but he decided to give a try and chose this slave. He was now his beloved pet. The prince had always watched him from the balcony, when the slave was outside. Yesterday he had told the cook that he wanted to talk to the slave and the cook had ordered that the slave should bring him a snack at the end of the day, so they had enough time to talk, but the slave was so in fear, that he would get a punishment for answering his questions wrong that he didn't get a word out of him without a scared look. Back in the present he saw that the slave began to cry silently. He lifted him to his arms and carried him to the bed, where he laid him down on the soft sheets. The hands of the prince caressed his slaves' back, to calm him down, but…

"P-P-Please… m-m-my prince… n-n-not…" the slave whimpered and closed his eyes tight. The tears ran out of the corner of his pets' eyes and fell down to the sheets.

"Don't cry, little one." the prince spoke softly.

Sesshomaru stopped immediately, but a few last tears ran down his cheeks. He couldn't stop them. They were whipped away by a warm hand. Obviously it was the hand of his prince. The young Lord may was angry, that he had not followed his order completely and immediately. He risked a short glance to his prince, but when he saw his prince looking down at him he closed his eyes even tighter than before. If he had looked up a little longer, he had seen the kind smile on the face of his Lord.

"Open your eyes, my pet. Let me see those golden eyes of yours." The prince whispered softly. Sesshomaru opened his eyes slowly. Always looking down to make no eye-contact with his master, but a warm hand under his chin forced him to look his prince in the eyes.

"You are no longer a mere slave. You are my pet now." the prince said, took the key for the chains on his slaves' wrists and ankles and opened them.

Sesshomaru whimpered in fear. He definitely knew what a slave-pet was. The royals took slaves and made them into pets to play with and to punish, when they are angry. Pets have no rights, like every slave, but they were more often punished, because they are around their masters all the time. And of course… they are used… for their masters' pleasure.

The prince took a collar out of his bedside table and put it around the slaves´ neck. He lifted the chin of his property again. Not to speak with him, but to kiss him. His tongue slid into the other mouth and tried to play with the other tongue, but his pet was still not involved in the play. The prince kissed him as softly as he could, but again… nothing. Inuyasha gave up. This boy did this on purpose! He was the prince and would get what he wanted. He always would. And this silly slave would not make any difference! The boy was smiling now. Yes, this bastard was grinning! This was the end of all self-control for Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru could not believe it. His master had kissed him! Him, a dirty slave! He smiled a bit but when he noticed his masters' angry glare, he scooted back in fear. What had he done wrong? What had his prince expected from him? His master grabbed his hair and held it tightly so he had to look his master in the eyes. His body was pressed into the mattress with his masters' body on him. It hurt terribly, but he knew he deserved nothing better. He had angered his master and he deserved it to be punished for it. His master grabbed his wrists and chained them together again. Again he felt pain, when the cold metal was closed around his wrists with the blue and black bruises. Normally, if he had done something wrong again or just for the guards' amusement, the guards grabbed his wrists on purpose harshly and closed the shackles too tight, to enjoy his begs. If he would not beg them he would have to work with the tight shackles the whole day

"I think it´s time for a little lesson for your disobedience, bitch." Inuyasha spoke coldly.

What had he done to make his master that angry? Was it the kiss? Had his master expected him to do something? This was his first kiss. He didn't know what he should do, but obviously his master was angry about it.

"N-N-No, please… Master… I-I-I´m s-sorry… Plea- …" Sesshomaru begged, but he was interrupted by his master: "Shut up, whore! I don't want to hear a single scream from you, am I clear, bitch?!"

Sesshomaru whimpered as an answer, but this wasn't enough for his master, so he was slapped across the face.

"I asked you something, bitch. Answer me!" his master yelled.

"Y-Yes… y-y-you are… m-master…" Sesshomaru whispered.

Sesshomaru was pulled up and chained to the bedposts. In fact, it doesn't matter, what he did wrong. If the prince wants to punish someone, he doesn't need a permission to do so. He, Sesshomaru, was his pet to play and punish as he wishes. Yet he started to apology and whimper again, but then he felt a hand at his cock, which made him stop in shock. His cock was caressed harshly, but he was hard now and this was the only thing which mattered to his master. The prince really wanted to have him. After he stopped whimpering and apologizing, the hand was removed. First he thought this was everything his master wanted, but then he felt the hard cock of his prince rubbing against his hole. And then… the prince entered him roughly with a slam, which would make him scream, if he had not remembered the words of his prince.

Shut up, whore! I don't want to hear a single scream from you, am I clear, bitch?!

He is tight, the prince thought, as tight as a virgin… but it can't be. If he was a virgin, he would cry in pain now. The prince slammed in him again. Now he did it with more violence to prove his thought. The hands of his pet held the bedposts tight and the mattress was also wet from his tears. Still he didn't scream. Was it that painful to be taken? The prince asked himself. The prince released inside his pet and pulled out. He undid the chains, which held him upright, but not the shackles, that pinned his wrists together. As soon as Sesshomaru was released, he collapsed on the bed. I should not have done that, the prince thought guilty. Until now he had not noticed the blood, which was flowing out of his pets' hole. Was this slave really a… He stroked along the slaves sides, but the slave awoke, shrank back and threw himself off the bed to his knees.

"P-P-Please… I-I´m… I-I´m s-sorry… I-I-I will… I-I will… l-l-leave immediately, m-m-my p-prince."

Inuyasha grabbed the chain which held his wrists shackled together and pulled him on the bed in his lap. The squeak of the slave was adorable, but the prince had to remain hard now. He would just confuse the boy, if he was kind.

"You are not going anywhere, bitch." He said in a cold voice, which made Sesshomaru shiver. "You will stay here and rest."

"B-B-But…"

Sesshomaru couldn´t understand this. Was this really the same man, who raped him? This couldn´t be. But it had to. Now he wanted him to rest… for a few minutes or seconds or… perhaps… if he was lucky… for half an hour? This would be really generous.

"Do you want to discuss my decision, pup?"

Sesshomaru gasped and shook his head like mad. He would never do this. This would be severally punished. He did this only once, when he was new at the palace. He tried to discuss with a palast-guard. He had been slapped by a guard for being too slowly with the food for the young prince and dared to ask why he did this. Sesshomaru shivered at the thought how he had been beaten. And he was only seven years old.

"Then why were you trying to discuss?" the prince asked softly and a tiny smile appeared on his face.

It was not big enough to be seen, but his aura changed from angry and cold to calm and warm. Sesshomaru thought this was a good sign, but refused to answer the question again.

"I-I-It was… It was n-n-nothing, m-my prince." Sesshomaru said and looked down to his shackles, but a hand grabbed his chin and lifted it.

"I will say this only once: Don't lie to me." Inuyasha spoke harshly and let go.

Sesshomaru nodded fast and looked down again.

"Now I ask again: Why were you discussing with your master?" The prince asked again and was immediately answered by his slave: "I have work to do, my prince."

"Did you forget what I said at the beginning, pet?" Inuyasha asked.

Sesshomaru remembered it, of course. He was now the princes' pet. He had to endure every humiliation the prince gave him. How could he forget this? He was shoved out of the princes' lap and laid now on the soft silky sheets where he had been raped a few moments before.

"Now lay down, I will get something for the pain."

Inuyasha went out of the room. He felt sorry for the slave. Obviously the boy was in pain and it was only because of him. He had hurt his slave and this will not happen again unless the boy did something wrong.

Meanwhile Sesshomaru tried to get out of the bed without a painful moan. He had to be fast. His master could be right back and if he saw his slave comfortable lying on the bed he would get the next harsh punishment. He lied down on the rug before the bed, but he was not sure. Maybe he could clean the room a bit, so he was not completely useless? Sesshomaru thought this was a good idea and he really tried to do something but all he could do without pain, was make the bed so he did it. While he was trying to not let the pain drive him crazy, he saw something on the bedside table. He asked himself what that was and when he came near the object he knew it must belong to the prince. It was a golden bracelet with some really expensive looking diamonds on it. He stepped back automatically. Luckily his master wasn't in the room, because he would have been beaten bloody for looking at something forbidden for him to touch. He turned to the door, but in the next moment he was facing a pair of legs…his masters' legs. He stared and covered himself with his arms awaiting a hit.

"P-P-Please… I-I´m s-so sorry… I… I…" Sesshomaru managed to stammer.
