Hey everyone! Its me again! I hope you've been liking the story thus far!:D
Please tell me what you think of it! I would really like to know! THANKS very much! XDDD
Inu Yasha took Kagome past the gate and up the pathway that led to the mansion. Her footsteps trailed after his in a slow steady pace. He wasn't sure if she was going to flea or not. He knew if he was in her position, he'd run as fast as he could. Still…he was glad she had stayed.
Inu Yasha opened the immense doors that lead to the inside of the mansion and they walked silently inside. As they walked down the halls toward the guest room, Inu Yasha prayed they wouldn't run into his father. He had just enough to deal with on his own.
He sighed in relief when they got to the door. He was about to follow Kagome when he smelled something….
"You're back already?"
'Crap' Inu Yasha turned around shutting the door quickly behind him.
His father frowned. "Let me see her."
"Uh, shes not ready yet. She still needs to take a shower and get ready. She still has the smell of 'that'
place on her." Inu Yasha lied, quickly. In fact he kind of liked the way she smelled…
"I don't care, I want to see her." He came forward; ready to go into the room.
Inu Yasha blocked the door in a step. "Father, I want you to see her when she's ready. I'll bring her to dinner tonight." His father stared at him for a moment then nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave, then stopped.
"One more thing. I want her staying in your room."
"But….!"
"That's an order!"
Inu Yasha just glared at him in submission, knowing there was no way to argue with him. Inu Yasha gripped the knob and slung the door open. Kagome jumped back, looking flustered. Great, she had been eavesdropping.
Inu Yasha didn't even have to say anything as he led her to his room. She followed him, knowing what his father had said.
…
Kagome was still blushing, as she stepped into Inu Yashas room. Live together? In the same room? She knew something like this would happen. Next he would chain her to his bed or or…she wasn't even sure anymore. She dreaded what was yet to come…
"I'll get two beds moved in here eventually. For now you can sleep in the bed. I'll be on the floor."
Kagome frowned, confused. Was all she told from the girls at the shop wrong? Why was this guy being nice to her? It didn't matter. He would do something later; after all…all men are pigs. Kagome thought with disgust. She would have to find a way to escape, no matter what. She shook her head, tossing her thoughts into the back of her mind for later contemplation.
"The bath is over here." He pointed to a door that branched off from his room. "You'll need to take one before dinner." He glanced at Kagome and reached over taking a handful of hair. Kagome flinched.
"I'll have to ask the house keepers for woman's shampoo and soap…" He murmured and then turned to leave.
"Wait!..."
He stopped.
"Thanks." Kagome bit her lower lip, nervously.
"Yeah." He turned around and smiled then went out the door. Kagome blushed. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all.
Once one of the maids brought a couple bottles of shampoo and bars of soap did Kagome go into the bathing room. She stripped of her grimy cloths and slipped into the warm bath water. She groaned in pleasure. She didn't remember the last time she had taken a bath.
Kagome took a deep breath and dunked under the water. As she came up she grabbed one of the many bottles of shampoo and started scrubbing her head as hard as she could, then moving on to her face and her whole body. Kagome's wrists and neck stung from the cuts the chains had given her, but she didn't care. All she wanted was to get all the dirt and filth off of her.
When Kagome was done she sighed in contempt. She never knew she could feel so good. Kagome glanced at the mirror over to the side of the bathroom and gasped. There was someone here with her! It was a woman. She was so skinny and gaunt that her ribs showed through her skin and her arms and legs were sticks. Her face was pale and tight against her face from hunger. Bright brown eyes shone and long, black hair hung from her head.
Kagome stared at the woman and the woman stared back at her. Then she realized that woman was her! Kagome lifted herself from the tub gazing at herself in horror. She didn't even recognize herself.
So, this is what a year of captivity has done to me. She thought with sorrow. She shivered. Not going to wallow in self pity she walked over to get a towel
…
Inu Yasha had been waiting outside of his bedroom torturing himself the whole time Kagome had been taking a bath. It smelled so good from inside his room. A flower fragrance mixed with Kagome's scent… It was about driving him mad, he wanted to go in the bathing room and jump in with her. But he wouldn't do that to her, she had been through so much already.
Suddenly a scream came from his room. That was all he needed. He burst open the door to his room and ran at full speed into the bathroom. Inu Yasha froze. There was a very naked Kagome sitting on the floor. It looked like she had tripped on a puddle of water on the floor. Now she looked like she was going to throw something at him. He rushed from the room, dodging a bar of soap and blushing a very dark shade of red.
…
Kagome still sat on the floor, in the puddle she had tripped on, blushing. He had seen her! And she had thrown a bar of soap at him! At that moment she didn't care, she wanted him out. But what was he going to do to her. She remembered her days in the training cell…
"Come here." He ordered her.
She refused, backing in the corner of her cell. He came forward grabbing her wrist, roughly and yanked her forward against his chest.
"I'm only preparing you for what's to come." He purred in her ear. She shivered in disgust.
"Now take off your clothes." He ordered, with a cruel grin.
She refused, breaking from his grasp and inching backwards, until her back was against the wall. He came forward and grabbed her jacket, tearing it, trying to get it off her. She screamed and slapped him across the face. He staggered back from the blow, blood running down his cheek. Rage burned in his eyes and he pulled out his whip.
"You'll pay for that…"
