Chapter two

To save a life

Kagome! It was she, but it couldn't be. He had left her in her kingdom safe and sound. How the hell did she end up here? This was the last place that he wanted her to be, and in that scrawny wolf's arms! He thought that she loved him! What was going on, all he wanted was answers, but she looked as confused and surprised as him.

Kagome just stood there in total shock until Kouga stepped in front of her and shook her repeatedly asking if she was ok.

"I'm sorry, I spaced out for a minute," Kagome said trying to hide the fact that she new InuYasha.

"It is ok my darling, it happens." Kouga said smiling down at her. Kagome just smiled back kindly, hoping that he would buy it like he always did. The prisoner looked stunned. Why was Kagome acting so friendly with the wolf? All he knew was that he was about to destroy the wolf, prince or not.

Kouga then turned to look at the prisoners, especially the one with silver hair. In a deep commanding voice Kouga said to his court "these are the prisoners of the kingdom that has challenged us, the Kingdom that we have won against." Kouga paused while the whole room cheered again a lot louder this time. Kagome couldn't keep her curiosity in anymore.

"What will happen to them?" Kouga just smiled at her giving Kagome the chills.

"Most will be used as bartering, so that we can get our own comrades back." Kagome was a little relived, but what came next was what made her heart stop. "The rest will either be made to do manual labor."

Before Kagome could respond one of the guards spoke up "sir, what about this one with the silver hair, he killed almost 150 of our men. Surly some one like this mustn't be merely put into manual labor. There must be something worse that we can do to him?" this guard had it in for him didn't he? That was it, the moment no one was looking he was going to kill him.

"ahhhhhh, yes that one." Kouga said with obvious disgust. "He was one who killed many of our brothers, and must be stopped at all costs. That one will be killed"

The whole entire room burst in cheers again while Kagome just stood in silent shock. How could Kouga do this, she knew who the man in front of her was and she had to do something fast. The prisoner just stood there groaning, he knew it was going to happen, but so soon? The guards started to take him away when suddenly the room echoed with the sound of one person's voice.

"STOP" Kagome yelled as she had taken several steps forward. Kouga just stared in shock, how could Kagome just do that. The entire room was quite in a heartbeat and just stared at her. "You can't do this" Kagome said trying as hard as she could to keep from loosing her temper.

The guard looked at Kouga for an answer to this girls mysterious behavior. Kouga swallowed hard and said "Kagome dear, what has gotten into you? This man had killed many of our people and brothers. Surly he must be punished, he is dangerous and a huge threat to our people and must be destroyed."

"I understand what you are saying" Kagome answered with a little nod.

"Then why are you doing this?" Kagome was quickly trying to think up something, anything that would save the prisoners life.

"Kagome?" Kouga urged try to get her to speak.

"Would you kill a man who has saved my life?" Kagome quickly said.

"What do you mean?" Kouga quickly asked, getting mad and worried about her at the same time.

"Well before the war, when I was in my kingdom, I almost drowned in a river by the castle. You see I had waded in to deep and the undercurrent knocked me down. If he wasn't there I would have drowned." Kagome quickly said.

"Is this true Inu Kuso" Kouga asked the silver haired prisoner.

"Of course it is scrawny wolf." The prisoner said. The prisoner knew Kagome was trying to save him, even if she was with that wolf.

Kouga scowled and looked down at the prisoner and was about to strike a killing blow when Kagome grabbed his hand and said, "His name is InuYasha, and didn't you tell me that is against the law to kill one who had saved the one heir's bride?" Everyone knew what this meant, but if she could save InuYasha it was worth it.

"Dose that mean…" Kouga asked with hopeful eyes.

"If you stay true to that law." Kagome answered. She really didn't want to marry Kouga, but right now all she was concerned about was saving InuYasha's life.

"What the fucking hell!" InuYasha yelled, Kagome was giving herself to the wimpy wolf to save him.

"Watch your mouth!" the guard yelled at him about to hit him when Kouga said "Don't! You know the law, but because of his actions I won't carry though with the full law. He will indeed be allowed to live, but he will become a slave. He will do what I say, when I say, how I say. He will not be allowed to have any means of escaping slavery. The only way he will be free is if I tell him that he can, or death. Dose that work with you Kagome?"

"Yes it, dose" Kagome was just happy that InuYasha was going to be allowed to live and that she had saved him.

"Slave, if you except then you live, if you don't you die. It is up to you."

InuYasha smiled evilly, he was going to make this wolfs life living hell. "I except on one condition"

"You do not seam to be in the position for bargaining, Inu Kuso." Kouga growled.

"ohhhh, but on the contrary. Do you really want the one who saved her life to be put to death?" InuYasha gestured to Kagome with his head, never loosing eye contact with Kouga.

Kouga gave InuYasha a death glare and said "Continue"

"My condition is that I get an hour alone every day with Kagome. This means privacy with no spying. Of course she must agree with it." Kouga was about to say hell to everything and kill this dog, but before he could Kagome answered.

"It is fine, as long as I am able to call for anything with two guards outside if need be." Kagome didn't want that at all. All she wanted was for her and InuYasha to get away from here and always be together.

"Kagome, if this is what you wish I will not fight it. But if I find that he has done anything to you all deals will be broken and he will be put to death. Is this understood my dear?"

"Of course" Kagome answered with a small nod.

"And you slave"

"Crystal" InuYasha said with an evil smile on his face. He was going to be with Kagome and he was going to torture the wolf. He couldn't wait to start.
