Chapter 4-What was that?!

Inuyasha walked down the hall to the door. It was time to bring her to a new room. The least he could do is give her a bed. But that's it. It was where they put all of the prisoners. Something inside him though didn't want to put her in that room with all of the other prisoners...considering they were men who probably hadn't seen a women in months.

He shrugged it off and proceeded to walk towards the door. He would just warn them not to touch her, and if they did, he would personally make sure that they pay for it with their life. But one thing confused him. Why did he actually give a damn about her? All she was, was a prisoner after all. A captured, rude, weak, feisty, beautiful bitch. Wait a minute...did he say beautiful?!?! Surely he was going crazy. He shook his head and opened the door.

What he saw there stunned him. Or rather, caught him by surprise. There she was on her knees, sobbing. He hated to see girls cry, but he wouldn't admit it for his life. He wondered what she was crying for. "Duh, she's captured on a pirate ship dumbass!" he thought to himself. He looked at her for a few moments, leaning on the doorway waiting for her to look at him before he spoke. When she did, he made eye contact.

"Oi, whats wrong with you wench?" he roughly asked trying to hide his concern. She sniffled and slowly looked at him in the eyes. "Crying won't get you anywhere on this ship, suck it up." He said coldly.

How could he be so cruel?! Then again, she shouldn't expect much from a pirate. She looked up coldly into his gold eyes and spoke in a low voice. "w-what do you want?" He 'hmphed'. "well excuse me for wondering. Its not everyday you see a girl crying on the floor! Well at least, maybe not where you come from." he snapped. Kagome wiped her eyes. Was he here to take her to that other room Sango was talking about? "uh...sorry...but I was just wondering what you were here for." She said a little more cheerfully, thankful to get out of this so called 'room'. "well, you're coming with me to the prison, where we keep all of our captors." He answered casually.

Kagome's spirit sank. Another chamber?! With more people? What if they were all men?? She panicked. She didn't want to sleep in a room with men, even if there were different beds! She mentally whined and wondered why she hadn't killed herself yet.

Inuyasha saw the look of panic on her face. He sighed. "And don't worry...they won't touch you." He said sarcastically trying not to sound nice. But it didn't work. He saw a smile spread across Kagome's face and his stomach flipped. He didn't like it. "Really? You'll really make sure of that?" she said with hope. Maybe this Inuyasha guy wasn't so bad after all. He smirked. "Hey all I'm telling them to do is not touch you. It's up to them of they decide to follow my orders and not my responsibility of what happens to you-that's yours."

Her smile immediately turned into a frown. Ok, she took back what she said about him maybe not being a bad guy. He was a JERK! He didn't CARE what happened to her! Why would he?! Kagome would be lucky if she was alive by tomorrow morning. "You jerk!" she yelled. Inuyasha just smirked. He loved to piss her off. It was really entertaining. "well, you can sleep in here on the cold hard floor, or in the prison with a somewhat nice soft bed." He stated, losing patience.

Honestly, Kagome didn't want either. She didn't know what to do. She sighed and supposed she would choose a bed. If she slept in here, she might freeze to death. There was one thing she wanted to take with her though. "Ok...I'll go to the prison...but one thing...can I bring this bow and arrow with me?" she asked worriedly. Inuyasha laughed. "YOU think you can use that thing?" he asked still laughing. This ticked kagome off. "YEAH! Maybe I CAN!" she snapped. Who did he think he was anyways?! So what if she never used one in her life? It looked easy enough in the movies.

"Feh. Do what you want. Come on." He said as he turned and walked down the hall. Kagome followed. They walked down the long narrow hall. The wood was very shiny and it was quite impressive. There were many pictures on the wall with gold frames with fancy patterns engraved in them as well. She didn't know who they were though. Probably all pirates, she thought.

They came to a door that was very heavy when Kagome tried to open it since Inuyasha wasn't polite enough to open it for her. What she saw disgusted her. There were a few bunk beds, and was a messy room. Kagome was relieved to see that there weren't as much men in here as she thought there would be. "well, here is your room." Inuyasha said happily. Kagome just growled in disgust. "Listen up everyone!" Inuyasha yelled. There was immediately silence as everyone turned to look at him. "If I find out that anyone, and I mean ANYONE touches this girl, I will personally make damn sure that they never speak again." He yelled. It was dead silent in the room. "Does everyone understand?!" he asked. They all slowly nodded their heads.

Kagome was shocked at what he said. Had he really said that? Why did he do it though? He hated her! She hated him! He was the captain, she was a prisoner! That's all there was to it!

He looked at her and smirked. "You'll be fine, I promise." He said and with that he slammed the door shut and left her their to face everyone. The minute he walked out of the door the room started with noise again. People's voices filled the air. As she walked by, she noticed some men looking at her funny, and she didn't like it. She glared at them when she heard them say things like "Inuyasha found a women!" and, "She's Inuyasha's wench!"

When she found an empty bunk towards the back, she set her bow and arrow on it. She sat down on the bottom one with pale white covers and a springy mattress with firm pillows and sighed. So this is where she would be living probably for the rest of her life the way things were looking. She really hated it here. She missed her home, her ship. She also missed her old friends/crew. But most of all, she missed her father, her dad. She couldn't believe he was gone. And all to that bloody pirate-Inuyasha. Her eyes hardened at his name. She hated him with all of her soul. But then she thought about what he told everyone. Just that simple order meant so much. Did he actually care if something happened to her?

She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a voice. "Hi, I'm Ayame." The feminine voice said. Kagome looked at the girl. She was pretty attractive. She had long light brown hair she kept up in a bun and beautiful green eyes. She wore a brown skirt that looked homemade and a short sleeved red shirt and looked worn. Kagome was relieved to see another female in the room from the looks the men were giving her. "Hi, I'm Kagome." she smiled.

Ayame sat down next to Kagome. "So when did you arrive on the ship?" Ayame asked. That was similar to what Sango had said. "Just today...my ship was attacked and I'm the only one left alive." She said as she stared at a hole in the floor. It was silent. "I'm sorry. The same thing happened to me." Ayame said. Kagome felt bad for her but was also relieved. Finally she wasn't an outcast!

"So...do these guys pull anything funny on your first night?" Kagome said eyeing the man suspiciously. Ayame shrugged. "Yeah, they did to me, but when Inuyasha heard he came straight here and stopped them brutally...he didn't let them eat for three days!" She said. Kagome's eyes got wide. "Three days?! Geez that's a long time! And he had gotten that mad over what they had done to Ayame?? Why does it seem that I am the only woman that he is mean to??" she thought bitterly.

"Wow...three days. Do you think they will pull anything on me?" Kagome asked in a panicky voice. Ayame sighed. "they might. So just make sure that you are on guard tonight." She said calmly. "How is she so calm about this?!" kagome thought. Maybe she was used to it..? "Well, nice meeting you kagome. I'm going to bed now. If you need me I'll be on the top bunk right here." Ayame said pointing to the bunk beside hers. "ok, goodnight" kagome smiled. She had made a new friend.

Kagome tried with all of her might not to fall asleep. The men had turned the lights out, but she knew they were still awake...watching her. She was afraid to fall asleep unguarded. She hugged her bow and arrow closer to her.

Her eyelids were getting extremely heavy and she yawned. No, she would NOT fall asleep! She couldn't or Lord knows what will happen! She couldn't resist sleep's call though. In a matter of seconds she was fast asleep.

Inuyasha lied on his bed looking at the ceiling. A little light was on that only lit a section of the room. He wondered about the strange girl. "Kagome" he said aloud. The name flowed off of his tongue like a melody. He loved saying the name. But what was he saying?! He didn't like her! She was just a prisoner! Besides, he still loved Kikyo anyways.

He thought back to that horrid day. It was rainy. He stood on the dock and watched the ship take her away. His only love. They had met in town and had fallen deeply in love, or so he thought. He soon found out that she had been cheating on him and he followed her one day to the dock after getting a letter saying she was leaving. He watched as she got onto the ship with another man. His heart tore inside. All those promises she said and never kept. Something inside of him still loved her though. Now that he thought about it, that kagome girl did look kind of like Kikyo. Maybe that was why he couldn't get her out of his head.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when Miroku spoke. Miroku and him shared a room since he was considered more of a friend than a crew member. "Inuyasha, did you really put Kagome in that prison? With all of those men?" he asked with his eyes closed. "Yeah...so what? I told them not to touch her." He replied not really caring. Yeah right. Miroku sat up. "and you remember what happened last time you told them hm?" Miroku said lifting an eyebrow.

Inuyasha recalled the memory. It was when they first found Ayame. She was similar to kagome, but kagome was different somehow. He told the exact same thing to the men when he had put her in the room and left, only to hear a bone chilling shriek in the middle of the night. When he came into the room, he saw the men ganged up on her, her with a terrified look on her face. Boy was he mad. Not only did they touch her, but they disobeyed his orders. He didn't let them eat for three days. He smirked at that. That showed the bastards who was boss. Hopefully they still remembered.

"yeah well, this time I told them they would die if they touched the new wench...kind of." Inuyasha said, though knowing Miroku was right about his feeling towards it. "Uh huh...and you said that because this girl means more to you than Kikyo?" Miroku said innocently but then snapped his hand up to his mouth at realization at what he said. Shit, that would hit the spot.

Inuyasha was silent, then quickly snapped his head over to glare at him. "Don't EVER compare Kikyo to that...that WENCH ever again!" Inuyasha yelled, face turning red with anger. Miroku slunk down on his bed. "s-sorry Inuyasha. But I still say it's the truth...I mean why haven't you thrown her overboard yet?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha hmphed. "I haven't thrown any of my other prisoners overboard right? So what makes you think she is any different?" Inuyasha was satisfied with his answer, but soon cringed at Miroku's response.

"That is because they have proved themselves to be strong and you just use them as slaves, where with kagome you haven't made her prove anything or made her do anything." Miroku said matter-of-factly. Inuyasha thought about what he said, and couldn't think of a good comeback, so just said what he always said when this happened. "...shut up!" and with that he turned on his side and went to sleep. Miroku chuckled and turned the light out.

Kagome was happily dreaming about her memories of her father, or so she thought. She was standing on her usual perch on the ship, watching the ocean. Her father came behind her and wrapped his arms around her neck. She smiled. She was so happy. She remembered these days with her father. "Kagome..." his voice said. The voice was warm and comforting. She closed her eyes and sighed. "you'll be alright. You need to wake up." The voice said. "Why...I'm so happy. You're alive!" kagome said happily. "Kagome...you need to wake up, quick! Trust me" the voice got softer towards the end. She whined. She didn't want to wake up! She was too happy! But when she looked behind her and saw Inuyasha was the one holding her she screamed at shock and her eyes snapped open.

She had sweat running down her forehead and when she tried to sit up she was forced back down. "Eh?" she asked looking around. "Hush girl! Do you want Inuyasha to hear your big mouth?!" A rough voice said harshly. "W-what are you doing with that knife?!" she asked looking at his hand. "heh heh. Too bad you had to wake up, now it'll hurt even worse then it has to." He replied. Now that she looked at it, his strong ugly arms were holding her down. It was another prisoner, she assumed. She frantically looked around for Ayame and found her sleeping. If she could wake her up... "And don't even think about screaming or I'll kill you even quicker." He said watching her eyes drift to Ayame. "wait...why are you killing me?!" Kagome asked. "well the last thing we need is another women that Inuyasha is spoiling and is forgetting about letting us free." He answered. "he is letting you free?" she asked confused. Why hadn't she heard about this?!

"yeah...he promised us that we could be set free because we were all worthless to him and didn't help so he didn't need us. So we are going to be freed on the next island. BUT with you here now, he loves you so he wont be letting us go anytime soon because he has no reason to stop at an island." He breathed after his speech.

Kagome gasped. She didn't know to be hurt at the fact that Inuyasha thought that they were useless, or the fact that he loved her! Or so that man thought. She knew he had to be wrong. Inuyasha was about the furthest he could get from loving her!

"H-he doesn't love me! I-I don't know what you're talking about!" kagome said nervously. "well we won't have to worry about that anymore now will we?" he asked raising the knife. Kagome let out a shrilling scream.

Inuyasha snapped open his eyes when he heard a scream that sent chills up his spine. "Kagome" he thought as he jumped up and got dressed. He rushed down the stairs to the hallway where the chamber was. "Damn it I knew I shouldn't have put her in there!" he said to himself.
