Chapter 1- Hell Hole or Dream Home

------------

She sighed as she poured a cup of hot coffee for her new 'master'. It had only been a week since her days of a free spirit became nothing more then a memory. Seven days, five hours, and 26 minutes to be exact. She sighed as she thought of the very day that caused her to move here.

**Flashback**

Her mother and father sat in their living room negotiating their situation. Kagome and her younger brother Souta were standing behind the archway to eavesdrop on the conversation. The two where very aware of what has been going on for the past few years. They'd just chose to let their parents handle it since they 'didn't them to worry about it'. But that didn't stop then from being curious, especially Kagome. She was probably more concerned than her brother because she knew more about what was going on.

"Do you have the money?" A males' voice was heard.

Kagome recognized the voice. It was the same voiced she'd been hearing since she was around fifteen. Perhaps it had gotten slightly deeper since then though.

"I'm sorry….but it you just give us a little more time…" Kagome knew that was her father.

"You two have been giving me that same line for the past four years! You've got to pay something or else I'll have to close down your family's restaurant. And I wouldn't want to do that."

"But we don't exactly have 8600 dollars to just give you Inuyasha. If we had it, we'd gladly give it to you. But we just don't."

Kagome held her little brothers hand and bit her bottom lip. She cringed at the total she'd heard her father say. '8600' was quiet a large amount of money. Especially in these times when money was really tight for her family. But never had it crossed her mind that her mother and father would borrow such a large amount of money. Even she knew that couldn't be paid off, at least not in cash.

"How could they be so stupid?" She whispered but soon tuned back into the conversation when she heard Inuyasha speak again.

"I'm sorry but I can't give you another extension. I've been patient with you all for quiet a long time and I can't wait any longer. I need something…"

Kagome took this time to peak her head into the archway to see what was going to transpire. She watched as her mother pulled out a check book.

"All we have now is twenty-five hundred. Can we give you that and pay you back some way other than money?" Her mother spoke.

"Twenty-five hundred isn't even half of what you owe me. I'll take it, but how do you plan on paying back the other 6,100 dollars? Work it off or something?"

"Could we? Or rather me? I'll work for your company and pay off the rest of the money." Kagome's father suggested.

"You can't!" Kagome yelled now making herself fully visible by everyone in the room. "If someone is going to work for you, let me do it!" Soon she wished she'd stayed on the other side of the wall.

"Kagome," Her father called out to her. "You shouldn't be in here. Go back up stares; don't worry about what's going on here."

Inuyasha turned his head and was almost star struck at the beauty of the young woman who couldn't have been any older than 20. If even that old. She was about 5'5. She had long black hair, and soft brown eyes. Her face was heart shaped with high cheek bones that held a natural light pink tint to them. Her skin was smooth and porcelain in color, her legs where long. She was curvy in all the right places. Everything a part of her was just right and she sparked something inside him.

Inuyasha spoke up. "How old are you?" He asked, hoping he was right in his assumptions.

Kagome's eyes widened slightly as she looked at the man who'd spoken to her. "Uh…I just turned 19 last month.

Inuyasha nodded. "Very well then."

"You're not suggesting that my daughter works for you? This doesn't concern her at all." Mr. Higurashi spoke up in defense of Kagome.

"The girl volunteered, and it will help pay off your loan." Inuyasha turned back to Kagome. "You're too young to work in my firm, but you can work for me in my house."

"You can't take my daughter!" Her mother bellowed.

Neither Kagome or Inuyasha paid her mothers statement any mind.

"If it will help my family, I'll do what ever you want…" Was Kagome's final statement.

**End of Flashback**

"Of all the times I wished I could have stayed in my room, that day would have been one of those times."

Anyone would probably say she was living the life of luxury. However, Kagome didn't feel that way. Sure, she now lived in a house with more rooms then she could count. Sure, she was allowed to do pretty much what ever she wanted as long as she also did what he wanted. Sure, if she asked for something, she'd most likely get it. But she still felt somewhat trapped. She felt isolated from the rest of the world since she was still confined to this 'dream house'

"Kagome," She heard coming from the next room over. "Is my coffee about ready?"

"Just a second." She answered coyly before making her way to the next room.

When she entered she found Inuyasha sitting on a white sofa reading a book. Once she sat the cup on the coffee table in front of him, she crossed her arms and glared at Inuyasha. Somehow he sensed her eyes were on him so he looked up from his book and directed his eyes toward Kagome.

"Is there something you would like to say…?" He asked.

She raised an eyebrow. "No, I just figured I'd stare at you until it annoyed you enough to send me home."

Inuyasha smirked at her attitude. Somehow it had grown on him since she came in with it the day she moved in. He felt as though it suited her look; a pretty face with a fiery personality. Yes, everything about Kagome was a complete turn on.

"Stare all you want to, you're not going home anytime soon. $6,100 dollars is a lot of money to work off. Plus I'm not treating you like my personal slave. So it's going to take quiet some time for you to pay off that money with the little things I have you do."

"Oh, well why not make me do more? That way I can work harder, and get out of this hell hole quicker?"

"Ouch," He pretended to be hurt by the girls' words. "Hell hole…? Is that really what you think you're living in?"

"Duh…" She answered smartly.

He started chuckling. "I don't think a house with 12 bedrooms, 9½ bathrooms, 3 kitchens, 2 living rooms, 2 pools, 3 hot tubs, a gazebo and 2 indoor patios plus more would be considered a hell hole. In fact, most people would probably consider this a small piece of heaven."

Kagome furrowed her eyebrows. "Well I don't. It's still a hell hole to me."

"And why do you think that?"

"Uh…because YOU'RE here!" She answered putting heavy emphasis on 'you're'.

Inuyasha rubbed his chin and nodded his head. "So…I make it hell for you? I wonder how that could be since I've been nothing but good to you since you've been here. What could I have done to make you so upset?"

Kagome got close to his face, less than an inch away. "The minute you were born was the minute my life became a living hell." After she said that she started walking out the room.

"How could me being born be hell for you when you weren't even a thought when I was born? Or have you forgotten I'm older than you are?" Inuyasha smirked because he knew he stumped her with that statement.

Kagome rolled her eyes and sighed. "Whatever, I'm going to my room. Would you like to ruin my life for a few more minutes before I go?" She said while crossing her arms

He thought for a moment before something came into his head. Something that he knew really aught to piss her off, and that was something he'd grown to love to do. "In fact, I think I will." He started rotating his head. "My necks been feeling a little soar lately from all the stress you're causing me. Why don't you come give me a neckrub. It's the least you could do."

She raised an eyebrow and tried to force away the smirk that was forming across her face. "Ha! You've finally lost it! If you really thought for a second that I'd share any type of physical contact with you, then you…"

"You have no choice. Or have you forgotten what you volunteered yourself for? I believe you told me you'd do anything, and I think a neck rub falls under the category of anything. Now you come and bring your pretty little self over here, and rub my neck." He said to her nonchalantly.

Kagome silently cursed under her breath while walking behind the couch Inuyasha was sitting on to begin messaging his neck. She started off pretty soft but it soon got very violent as she began taking out her frustrations against him on his neck. Of course it was no skin off her bones though since she was doing the fun part. But the thrill wore off when she noticed Inuyasha wasn't showing any signs of being in pain which completely defeated the purpose.

Roughly around a half hour later, Kagome began complaining that her fingers were cramping up and that she was tired of standing. Naturally Inuyasha could have told her to suck it up and finish his message, but he was a nice guy. Plus, he really didn't want the girl to be totally upset with him since being dragged away from her family was probably enough to drive her crazy. So he allowed her to return to her room and he'd call for her if he needed her.

When Kagome reached her bedroom, she immediately threw herself onto the bed facing downward. She smothered her face in the pillow and screamed. If it hadn't have been for the pillow, she may have broken a window with her loud screaming. Momentarily she finished and sat up in her bed and began looking around the room that was now hers. Although she wouldn't admit it to Inuyasha, she actually liked her room. It was like, the dream bedroom she never had. The room was huge with green walls, her favorite color. It had a fully equipped bathroom, the bed was king sized and amazingly comfortable. There was a 52" TV. hanging on her wall. Plus a lot of other stuff that caught her interest. The only thing that could make living here a little more pleasurable would be if Inuyasha wasn't there. True as it maybe, he could be an alright guy at times, but who really wants to be someone's personal slave?

Though, when I think about it…he doesn't really treat me like a slave…I do a few things that he asks me…but other then that, he leaves me alone…

Kagome sighed and started walking to the bathroom. "Maybe a quick shower will clear my thoughts."

AN: Okay, I had up to here written for like 3 days now just hoping something new would come to mind; but it didn't. So, unfortunately this chapters a little shorter then I planed for it to be. And honestly, I don't have a clue as to what the next chapter should be about. Let me put it this way, I know exactly what's suppose to happen in the middle and towards the end…but I have nothing to build up to that. That's where you all come in at. Throw me some of your ideas PLEASE or else I won't be able to finish this story. =(
