*****Chapter 3*****

"Hurry! Wakeup, before Mistress Takeda comes!" Kagome blinked her eyes open hoping that it was all a dream, but the stinging on her back alerted her that it was all very real. She sat up quickly wincing in pain as the wounds on her back stung.

She turned towards Amaya and asked, "Amaya why am I here? Where is Here?" Amaya looked down sadly and began explaining, "Your family sold you to this village. You have to be trained to become an assassin. I have to warn you it will be hard." Kagome stared at her in shock before speaking, "You lie! My parents would never sell me!"

Amaya gave her a sympathetic look and opened her mouth to speak, but the door to the room slammed open and in walked Takeda. Quick as lightning Amaya was on the floor on her knees. Kagome remembering the pain and the two men's advice quickly got in the same position.

Takeda smiled down at her thinking she'd broken her. Little did she know Kagome was a fighter and though she was only ten years old she was far from broken. "Hmm Pathetic after one whipping she gives up." Takeda turned to talk to the kind lady from before when Kagome stood up head down and hands curled into fists at her side.

"I haven't given up! You just wait! Once my father finds you you'll be in a world of pain!" Expecting to be whipped again Kagome was surprised when Takeda threw her head back and laughed. "You think your family cares about you? You miserable little brat! They sold you to me! They cared more about money then their own little girl."

Takeda crouched down, grabbed Kagome's chin, and turned her head towards Amaya before saying, "Amaya's your only family now." She hissed throwing Kagome's head away from her as Kagome fell to the floor. Takeda turned and left letting the lady she was with do the rest.

The kind old woman bent to Kagome's level much to the protests of her legs and said, "Follow me and I'll explain everything." Kagome nodded and followed after the old woman glad to finally be able to understand what was going on.
