Kagome instantly filled with relief and hope upon hearing him say yes but she also grew a little worried over the earrings. It seemed odd that he would just suddenly give her the earrings. She knew he didn't do it because he thought they would look perfect on her. A tracking divorce or camera of some sort had to be in them in order for Inuyasha to allow her to go to the bathroom. She cursed him mentally inside her head. He was always three steps ahead of her but fortunately he still allowed her to go to the bathroom. She had feared Inuyasha wouldn't let her go out of his eye sight but she was once again filled with hope that she may be able to escape. She could place the earrings in the bathroom stall and leave or perhaps she could step on them and break them. She had a lot of options but she first needed to get away from him before he suddenly changed his mind.

She was happy to be able to get out of his presence but she did not let her feelings show on her face or in her eyes, she instead, quietly asked him where the bathroom was.

He pointed. "It's down the hallway and to the left. Try not to get lost, this place is pretty big." He said with a little hint of caution in his voice.

She heard the caution but couldn't tell if it was meant to scare her or not. Either way a big place meant a lot of places to hide and sneak through, making her escape even more possible and likely. She placed the earrings in each of her ears. They were oval-shaped and made of onyx and sparkled even without that much light. She made sure Inuyasha saw her put them in that way he would think she would wear them when she left. "Okay, I won't." She replied and got up slowly so she could leave. She walked away calmly, twirling the earrings in her fingers, as if everything was alright and she hadn't been kidnapped against her will.

She smiled as she passed others guests in the restaurant, politely complimenting a few on their clothing, and made her way to where Inuyasha had told her the bathrooms was located. Kagome felt her feet beginning to hurt as she walked into the female's bathroom but just outright giggled at the fanciness of it all once she got inside.

Like before, white marble tiles covered the floor. The stalls were made of black marble and the sink was made of shiny cloudy-gray tiles. Paintings of people in black and white were hung on the walls as well as fancy and intricate designs but instead of overpowering or outdoing the photos, they added to the exquisiteness of the people photographed.

Next to the sink stood a bathroom attendant. Like the waitresses and waiters Kagome saw earlier, this one was young and pretty. Though young would be an understatement. The waitresses and waiters looked anywhere from their late teens to young adults, this girl looked like a preteen. Red curly frizzy hair was barely held in a top knot bun. The girl's skin displayed one or two small pimples, common amongst adolescents and Kagome was curious as to how old she actually was.

The girl noticed Kagome's eyes on her appearance and she smiled nervously as Kagome came closer to her. "What may I help you with today, ma'am?" She asked, sweetly but a little shakily. She didn't look Kagome in the eyes, she instead stared at her throat.

"Do you have a phone I could use? I accidentally left mine at home...again." Kagome said. "Ugh, I have the memory of a 90 year old man." She joked, letting out as real-sounding a laugh she could manage.

The girl looked at her strangely, as if seeing her in a new light. "I'm sorry miss, but we do not have phones in here. Cell phones are not allowed in the building due to the loud ringing. If there is an issue I can handle, please let me know."

Kagome hesitated. She wanted to tell the girl everything about what has happened to her but something, an instinct feeling told her not to. It was too easy.

"No, I'll be alright." Kagome said before leaving the bathroom. As she left, she heard a moan and saw a woman on their knees in one of the stalls while another woman was sitting on the toilet. She wondered why the bathroom attendant didn't say anything and then she wondered why cell phones wasn't allowed.

She didn't head straight to where Inuyasha was, she instead looked at her surroundings again, constantly deliberating which move to make. She could go to the kitchen but then nobody in there had a phone or she could go out the front door but in order to do that she would have to walk down the steps and past everybody in the main room but she was sure it would draw stares. She couldn't make up her mind about what she should do until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around in anger at herself for not making up her mind fast enough and for failing to use her opportunity to escape.

Expecting her master, expecting him to know of her thoughts about escape, and expecting to be punished for it in front of everybody, she was wholeheartedly surprised to see it was not her master who was staring at her.

It was an angel. An angel come to rescue her. Kagome thought. Vibrant black hair with a sheen that rivaled the sparkle of her earrings was pulled up into a tight bun, eyes as red and rich as cherry's stared at Kagome and went through her very soul. Her delicate features, touched with barely any makeup were twisted into that of an apology but even still, she looked beautiful.

"I'm sorry miss, I didn't mean to frighten you." Her voice was like velvet in Kagome's ears and it took her a moment to realize that no, she hadn't died and no this wasn't an angel come to take her soul to heaven.

"Oh, it's okay, just deep in thought as all." Kagome let out a laugh that sounded as fake as one dollar jewelry.

"Well I am a singer here. Kagura is my name and I couldn't help but notice that you walked in with Inuyasha."

Kagome instantly became suspicious. Was this woman sent by Inuyasha to test her, to see if she would escape? She didn't put it past him, it seems as though he was always looking for a reason to hurt her. "Oh yes, he is my...my..."

"Master," Inuyasha cut in for her, walking up to the pair of women awkwardly standing outside of the bathroom. ",and she doesn't need you interfering with anything Kagura." He rudely gridded out.

Kagura rolled her red eyes at him. "Relax, I just wanted to introduce myself to her and find out how you two met." The smile on Kagura's shapely nude colored lips was telling, and her eyes seemed as if they were saying "I know."

"We met the same way you and my brother met." Inuyasha's own smile was cutting and sharp as a razor. "Shouldn't you be getting back to him? I'm sure his dick could use those lips of yours or are you here to sing?"

Kagura laughed. "Sesshomaru couldn't come with me but I am here to sing." She placed her hands on her waist and gave Inuyasha a sly grin. "Speaking of lips, and dicks for that matter, do you still taste that last meal you ate here or do you no longer like it anymore?" When Inuyasha didn't say anything back, Kagura doubled over in laughter before she turned back to Kagome. "I didn't get your name, sweetheart."

"Kagome."

"It was nice to meet you Kagome. Hopefully we see each other again soon, no, I am sure we will be seeing each other again." She winked at Inuyasha and left in a swirl of silk. Her ass sashaying in her cream colored dress that hugged each and every one of her curves.

They both watched her go before Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by her forearm, his sharp nails sure to leave wounds in her skin. "What did she say to you or what did you tell her?"

"Nothing." Kagome answered truthfully. "She simply apologized for scaring me before you arrived." Kagome squeaked out, looking at the people of the restaurant and seeing them completely oblivious to what was happening.

He stared into her eyes intensely for a few seconds before looking away. "Let's hurry on back, our meal is already at our table and if it gets cold, I am going to hurt you." He warned.

They walked back to the booth, hand in hand like a couple, and sat back down in their spots. The meal, whatever Inuyasha called it, was steaming and giving off an aroma that had her mouth drooling. The food was placed in the center of a square plate. A piece of circular sizzling brown meat was on top of a heap of mashed potatoes, drowned in a brown thick sauce. Surrounding the meat and mashed potatoes were carrots, steamed and moist, and green beans placed prettily on the plate in angled positions. Kagome marveled at the sighting before reaching for her fork to dig in.

She first tried the carrots, loving the way they were steamed and seasoned perfectly. Next, her fork went to some of the green beans which had a meaty taste to it despite not touching the sauce on the mashed potatoes. It also had a bit of black pepper sprinkled on it which gave it even more flavor. After eating the vegetables, her fork finally went to the meat that had been calling her name as soon as she sat down at the table.

She grabbed her steak knife in one hand, thinking of a way to sneak it from the restaurant to use it later, and slowly cut a piece of the meat into an editable sized portion and placed it into her mouth. The meat was so tender and juicy, the best Kagome had ever tasted. It wasn't steak or chicken or fish but maybe lamb or goat.

Kagome couldn't tell as she had never eaten lamb or goat before but if they tasted this good then she would definitely add them to her diet.

"Enjoying the meal?" Inuyasha asked, his plate was also nearly empty. The only thing left were a few carrots.

Kagome swallowed a mouthful and took a sip of the wine. "Yes, it is very good but the meat is amazing, which animal is it?" She asked curiously.

"It is a common animal but rarely used for food due to different beliefs and values."

She guessed right. It was lamb. "Is it lamb?"

"No, lamb meat is a little rougher than this. This meat belongs to the homo sapiens, young ones." He answered with a smile.

Kagome hated and almost failed science due to her absolute non-existent interest in the environment but she knew what homo sapiens were. Her fork dropped on her plate with a loud crashing sound that seemed to vibrate through the restaurant. Her fork wasn't the only thing that dropped, her jaw fell open as well, her eyes a mixture of disbelief and distrust. She didn't know if he was joking because he had a sick sense of humor but seeing as how he hadn't admitted it was a joke and remembering the waitress's mood change when he spoke caused Kagome to believe it, which in turn caused her to nearly gag.

"If you throw up it will be your dinner for the next two days."

That caused Kagome's gag reflex to quiet down a bit but her eyes were still shocked. "How could you!" She stood up and screamed, not caring about the others hearing her, or in fact wanting them to hear her. They may not know what they are all eating but she would let them know. "You are a monster!" Kagome yelled tears coming down her eyes. She turned to the people in the restaurant and yelled. "You all are eating children!"

Her eyes scanned the crowd, looking at the faces. Some looked at her, uninterested in her little show, while others looked at her as if she was crazy or on some type of drug. She held up her piece of nearly eaten meat for everyone to see. She would make them believe her, she would not be labeled a crazy woman. "This is a child!"

The room was silent until one man spoke up. He was young and attractive with blue eyes and short black hair. Inuyasha joked with him when they first entered the restaurant. "Ya think? An adult would taste nasty but children still have that tender soft flesh." He said and the room roared with laughter.

Kagome couldn't believe it. "You all are monsters, cold heartless mons..." A long sleeved black shirt was wrapped around her mouth, cutting off her speech. She was yanked back into a hard chest by none other than her master. He gave her a smack across her face, not enough to seriously hurt but enough to sting.

"Apologies, my friends. We just met and she is still going through that disobedient phase." He explained.

The man who had told Kagome about the children spoke up. "Well Inuyasha, allow her to spend some time with me and I will teach her how to behave like a proper pet." He offered.

Inuyasha smiled. "Not on your life Miroku. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some punishing to do."

He used his shirt to keep Kagome silent and dragged her through the restaurant. She began fighting and kicking her legs, causing her to fall to the ground. Inuyasha turned around and grabbed a fistful of her black hair in his hand. "Keep it up and your punishment will be worse." He warned but Kagome didn't listen. She was too shaken and crazed by fear that she continued to struggle until a hard something hit her head and she immediately saw black.
