Chapter one: Discovery.

(The Forest Of No Return)

A hanyou girl and a dog demon stood face to face."Take the hat off now!" He shouted. She had filth and suspicion written all over her. He watched her for a minute and then raised his hand back and then forward, watching her flinch as he knocked the hat off with his pure force. Two ears bounced out in place. He was stunned, disgusted and pissed.

Laying between the blue hat, her silver dog ears flattened against her head as she looked down at the ground with her brown eyes now shaded by her long silver hair. Sesshomaru heard a whimper as he began to smell tears."Wait until everyone finds out about this.You masked your scent very well I admit, but those filthy ears will always give you away.You know where all mutts go, don't you?"

Kyoko's heart was shattering in peices. The one she loved did not love her in return. Tears flowed down her cheeks in the sunlight. She knew all hanyou and low levelled demons where fated to be servants of one lord whether it was to cleaning or to very personal use."N-no, please..my freedom..."

She cast her gaze from the ground to him."I don't take pity on anyone. ESPECIALLY mutts." Sesshomaru smirked. "Now you can come with me willingly, or we could do it the hard way I suppose.The castle walls do need painting before my visitors come, you know."

She felt the words hurt her unlike any pain she ever felt .Kyoko began to tremble as she stepped back and then began running away. Nothing was more precious to her then her freedom. This was her fault. What was she thinking when she first layed eyes on Sesshomaru? She knew he would find out soon. Kyoko felt her body hit something hard. It was him. He was so quick and swiftless it was useless to run.

"Going somewhere?" He chuckled, slapping her down to the ground. "You should have been drowned at birth."

"You liked me when you thought I was demon, why can't you love me in this form!" Kyoko sobbed, crawling to her knees.

"You're filthy and tainted. I wish for a pure beauty." Sesshomaru snatched Kyoko up by the hair and dragged her along to his castle, ignoring all the pleas and insults she spat while trying to get free.

(Sesshomaru's castle)

Sesshomaru dragged her down a long staircase to the castle's basement as she had finally stopped struggling and only whimpered.

He threw her against a wall, injuring her arm greatly from the impact. His eyes widened in fascination at her trembling form that was holding her arm in yelps of pain.

"Consider that a warning.You shall receive great and long lasting pain if you dare disobey." Sesshomaru laughed as he kneeled down and chained her neck, hands, and wrist and then walked back up the stairs.

Kyoko leaned back agianst the wall and put her broken arm in the most confortable position possible. Tears shimmered down her skin. The only one she had ever loved had just rejected her. Not to mention her close friend Inuyasha was attacked by the jealous Sesshomaru. Kyoko had no idea if he was still alive and wanted deeply for him to just appear out of nowhere and save her like he had done countless times. The pain was so intense. Not the pain from her shattered bone that would heal in a day or so, but the heartache. It was too much. She knew she had to escape somehow. All the thoughts tangled more and more as she slowly closed her eyes.
