Hello I am back! And now here we go haha.

Chapter 3: Biggest Perve of the House
"There." Natalia said as she grabbed a towel and and wrapped it around Kagome's shivering body. "I wish you would have let me made the water warm for you though."
"I'm..too use..to the cold.." Kagome said through chattering teeth. Truth be told she wanted a warm shower, but she was already in shock with all that she was going through. She needed something that felt 'normal' and so far a cold shower was.
"Well..alright. Let's go get you dressed." Natalia said as she put her hand on Kagome's back. Kagome turned to grab her old dirty clothes from the floor but Natalia stopped her. "You don't need those anymore. Mr. Taisho has given us all we need. Clothing food and more."
"Mr. Taisho...Is that what I will have to call him?" Kagome asked.
Natalia stared at her for a moment as she reached for the bathroom door before giving a soft chuckle. "Well what else were you going to call him?" She asked trying not to laugh to loud.
"I don't know..Inuyasha I guess?" Kagome asked.
"Sweet heart why would you think that?" Natalia asked.
"Because he didn't say anything else. He just introduced himself as Inuyasha Taisho. My mom use to tell me that when people want you to call them something they will tell you. She said how ever it is more polite to call them by their last name...i kind of forgot that though..." Kagome said her voice trembling as she stifled her tears. She hadn't thought of anything her mother taught her since she came to the slave trade, because no one needed manners there.
"Huh..ain't that weird. Usually he makes a big deal about calling him Mr. Taisho. Maybe he just forgot." Natalia said with a shy shrug. She put her hand Kagome's shoulder and patted it lightly before leaving the bathroom. Kagome followed her quietly until they reached the third door of a narrow blue hallway. "This will be your room, you'll be bunking with two girls. Sango and Rin, the are very nice girls. They came from the slave trade too, however I don't think they came from yours. Truth be told.." Natalia said as she leaned closer to Kagome. She reached her hand up to Kagome's ear and spoke in a soft whisper "I think you came from the worst camp."
"What makes you say that?" Kagome whispered.
"I've heard Mr. Taisho talk about it. Most of the camps are just concentration camps were people works. But I heard you guys don't even get beds to sleep on, that your shoulder to shoulder on a concrete floor with one pillow. You don't get new clothes, and your woman are beaten and...well...you know.." Natalia said as she looked over Kagome. "However you look not as bad as Mr. Taisho described."
"I was only there two months..I lost some weight, but they never broke my spirit." Kagome said with a proud and shy smile.
"I made friends...with a woman named Ganet. And she said to never let them break my spirit. The days were awful and long, the nights were sometimes worse. But I kept going.."
Natalia stared at Kagome in amazement. Her voice had changed into a strong and powerful tone, and her body stood straight now. Her face became a faint color of red and her eyes seemed to glow, she was proud of herself alright. But still, something seemed to keep her down.
"Natalia...will I ever see my mother again?" Kagome asked.
But before Natalia could answer her another voice from the door way answered "No." The girl said as she crossed her hands over her chest. Kagome turned to look at her, she was about the same height as Kagome, her body was a bit more in shape. Her hair was almost the same length, and brown. Her eyes were brown but beaten, not literally but if you looked into them long enough you could see she had been through a lot.
"Sorry to be so blunt. But that's how you become after what I went through." She seethed as she shook her head. She walked over to Kagome and held out her hand "I'm Sango."
"Kagome.." Kagome mumbled as she shook the young girls hand.
"My god. You look so tired, Natalia did you even feed her yet?" Sango asked.
"She said she wasn't hungry.." Natalia said while looking over Kagome. She couldn't believe it when Kagome refused the food at first, but then she figured Kagome was still in sync with an eating cycle she had at the camp.
"Hang on, let me go talk to the boss then." Sango said as she headed towards the stairs.
"Wait why?" Natalia asked.
"Because, The cooks put the food away at 3. It's already 2 o clock, she has been here since like what? 11 12? She hasn't eaten at all and i'm sure Mr. Tiasho wouldn't want his 'newest pet' to starve. Especially on his watch, maybe he will work out a deal with the cooks to put food aside for her." And without even a chance to finish her sentence Sango fled. Leaving Kagome confused and Natalia worried.
"What did she mean by pet? I remember hearing some of the guards calling the woman that at the camp." Kagome asked.
"That's just Sango. Believe me you won't be having sex with Mr. Taisho." Natalia said trying to reassure Kagome.
"Wait sex?! That's why the guards called woman pets?" Kagome asked.
Natalia now was utterly shocked by this girl. How could she have gone two months in that slave trade and stayed so innocent. "Kagome..have you ever.."
"No way! I am still a virgin done and done." Kagome said as she gripped the towel on her tighter. Natalia nodded and then patted Kagome's shoulder.
"Good, now let's get you dressed. Okay?"
"What do you mean she hasn't eaten yet?!" Inuyasha exclaimed as he dropped his papers onto his desk.
"Mr. Taisho she is still In sync with a cycle from the camp and.."
"Fuck the camp. I want her to eat now. I can't have her growing weak and drying here." Inuyasha said standing up from behind his desk.
"Mr. Taisho she will eat, I just came here to ask if we could put food away for her so she can eat on the times she is used to." Sango pleaded as she put herself in between Inuyasha and the door.
"I want to talk to her, now." Inuyasha said as he looked down at Sango.
"Mr. Taisho she is still getting used to.."
"Fuck that I want to see her." Inuyasha snapped.
"Sir, I know it isn't my place. But when Maddie wasn't eating you weren't like this. Why is this girl different?" Sango asked.
"Because she.." Wait, why was she different? Why did Inuyasha care so much about this girl? In fact what had compelled him to pick this specific girl from that damn camp anyway? "Uh..because maybe I grew heart!" Inuyasha said.
"Try again." Sango said crossing her arms.
"I want to be a good boss?" He mumbled.
"Wrong again." Sango said with a smile before patting Inuyasha on the shoulder. "It's okay to like someone."
"I like ramen." Inuyasha said with a stern look.
"And Kikyo." Sango said.
"And..Kikyo.." Inuyasha muttered through his teeth.
"truth be told, I thought I wouldn't like her at first. And i've only met her for like 4 seconds but something about her sticks." Sango said.
"There is nothing about her that sticks. I don't like her, end of story. Now let me go see her." Inuyasha said glaring at Sango.
"If you don't like her why do you wanna see her?" Sango asked with a sly smile.
"I should fire you. But then Miroku would be so sad and..."
"Don't say it." Sango said as she tightened her hands into fists.
"And I know you two have been close lately..."
"I swear to god Mr. Taisho..." Sango seethed through her teeth.
"It would be a shame if I got in the way of two loverrrsss..." Inuyasha said in a joking tone as he walked passed Sango.
"Son of a bitch.." Sango murmured as she followed Inuyasha "If you weren't my boss you'd be dead."
"If you weren't Miroku's lover, you'd be fired. So the feelings Mutual." Inuyasha said sticking his tongue out at the fuming girl.
"You know you love me." Sango said with a high and mighty smile.
"I don't but I know who does." Inuyasha sung out in a sarcastic tone. Now boss or not Sango was ready to kill and Inuyasha was laughing as he ran from the raging girl.
"Alright here is an extra small. Hopefully this will fit better." Natalia said as she brought Kagome another set of clothes. "The jeans are a size 3 but I am not sure if they will fit perfectly."
"Thanks Natalia." Kagome said as she took the clothes from Natalia. Before she put the jeans on both of them turned to look at the door as they heard the sounds of banging and laughter coming up the hallway.
"Sounds like Sango and Mr. Taisho." Rin said as she sat herself up on her bed. Kagome was happy to meet the young girl when she first came into the room, she wasn't crazy or weird in anyway. She was very kind and nice towards Kagome, and right away they were able to talk to each other though Kagome still didn't say much.
Kagome shrugged and turned herself back towards Natalia "Will you help me put the shirt on? My..arms are still a little weak.." She said. She was almost a shamed at how she looked at first, but Natalia reassured her that she had seen it all before and that there was nothing to feel bad about.
"Mr. Taisho no! I wouldn't go in there right-"
"It's my house and I am going to go where ever I..huh!" Inuyasha stopped dead in his tracks as he looked inside of the room where Kagome, Rin and Natalia stayed. Kagome shrieked and hid behind Natalia, while Rin started to laugh uncontrollably. Inuyasha felt his entire face flush as he thought about what he had just seen.
Underneath those baggy clothes he would have never though Kagome looked as hot as she was. Yes she was pretty and beautiful and all that but damn. Her blue bra and panties tied into pale skin and curvy body perfectly. Her ribs were a little exposed but she was still one of the most stunning girls he had ever seen.
But now he had to explain why he just became the biggest perve in the house.
"Uh..sorry..i just..came to see Kagome..because..uh.." He stuttered trying not to stare at the hiding girl.
"Well she's in disposed! Get out! Uh, sir." Natalia said as she pushed Inuyasha out of the room and then slammed it in his still shocked face.
"Told you not to go in there." Sango said
"Yeah yeah.." Inuyasha replied as they walked away from the room.
"Kagome..are you alright?" Natalia asked looked at the frightened girl.
"Why was he looking at me like that?" Kagome asked.
"Like what hun?" Natalia asked moving towards her.
"Like...hungry I guess? I don't know how to describe it.." Kagome said.
"Oh well..for one you were..uh some what naked and..well..you are pretty hot.." Natalia said trying not to sound weird. "Now let's just get you dressed, and then you should probably go see Mr. Taisho." Natalia said as she lifted Kagome's arms and then draped the long sweater over her. "There a perfect fit, and it must be comfortable huh?"
"Yes, but why don't we have uniforms?" Kagome asked.
"Oh we do, but Mr. Taisho requested that you work in the garden or where ever you are needed and not be forced to wear a uniform. I don't know why so don't ask." Natalia said. She had an idea of why this was going on, but it was better not to act like Sango and go demand answers.
"Why aren't you in a uniform then?" Kagome asked.
"Because today is Saturday and Saturday is our day off." Natalia said with a wide grin.
"Day off..what do we do on days off?" Kagome asked.
"What ever we want. Now come on get your jeans on, and then I will take you to see Mr. Taisho." Natalia said as she handed Kagome her jeans.
Kagome thought that going to see Mr. Taisho would be scary, but right now she wasn't feeling fear. In fact she had butterflies in her stomach, and her face was becoming hotter with each second. Why was she flustered about seeing him? What was it that made her so nervous?
She didn't like this feeling at all..
A soft knock came from Inuyasha's door and he sighed as he put his papers down. "If it's Sango go away, if it's anyone else come in." Inuyasha leaned back in his chair as his door opened slightly, he was sure it was probably Natalia or Rin coming to talk to him but he never expected this.
When Kagome came into the room with a blue sweater that hugged her waist and stopped at her knees, with black jeans and white sneakers Inuyasha couldn't help but think about how innocent she was. Usually girls want to wear a tight black shirt or a tang top, something that reminds them of how they were before the camps. But Kagome preferred something that kept her covered, and there was something about that he liked.
Inuyasha cleared his throat and then motioned towards the seat in front of his desk "What..can I help you with?" Inuyasha asked as Kagome sat in the chair.
"Well..um earlier, you said you were coming to see me.." Kagome said shyly.
"Oh right..i heard..you aren't eating." Inuyasha said.
"Yes well..with all do respect Mr. Taisho I-"
"Inuyasha..please you can call me Inuyasha." He said leaning forward onto his desk.
"Okay..Inuyasha. With all do respect I wasn't hungry at the time.."
"Are you hungry now?" He said cutting her off. She looked at him for a few seconds and then nodded. "Good, me too. How about I have one of the cooks bring in something for us to eat here." He said reaching for the phone on his desk.
"Oh no that is okay! I can wait till dinner-"
"Nonsenses. You will eat here with me and not wait another two hours." He said picking up the phone. He punched in two numbers onto the keys and then waited for the phone to be answered. "Kaede, I need some food sent to my room for two. What ever you think would please me, you know me so well. Thanks bye." He hung up the phone and then smiled at Kagome. "Now don't you leave me here to eat alone."
Kagome nodded and then began to play with her fingers in her lap, although the sweater was an extra small her shoulders were still very frail and it looked as if the shirt would slip off. Inuyasha got up and shook his head as he walked over to her. He pinched the top off the shirt and brought it up to rest on her shoulders again before sitting in the chair next to her.
"This must feel weird huh?" He asked turning to face her.
"A little.." She said as she looked at him. Her cheeks turned a faint shade of pink and her legs began to grow weak, good thing she was sitting or she probably would have fell. "Mr. Taisho.."
"Inuyasha please my dear." He said.
"I am sorry-"
"Don't be." He blurted out.
"Okay..um Inuyasha, why did you pick me..from that camp?" She mumbled looking at him with tired eyes.
"Oh um..well..i um..thought you were..um.." He reached behind his head scratching it lightly as he thought of what to say. Should he tell her the truth? That he thought she was beautiful? And that when he first saw her he had this over whelming desire to have her?
"Um..i thought..you looked beaten up..and broken...and there was something so innocent about you..that I knew I couldn't let them break you.." He said looking at her.
"How...why do they let you take girls?" Kagome asked.
"I...can't say. At least not now, but I promise in time I will tell you Kagome.." He said grabbing her hand. He rubbed his thumb over the back of it softly. "I promise."
Kagome almost jumped when he grabbed her hand, but she managed to calm her over active nerves and settled back into
her chair. There was something about him...or something he was doing..Did he like her? The way he looked at her certainly gave the idea that he did.
After a few moments there was a knock on the door, and the smell of food made its way under the door and into Kagome's stomach before Inuyasha could even open the door.
"Oh Inuyasha!" A voice shrieked when he opened the door. "When Kaede said you were requesting food for two I just knew you remembered it was our.. what is she doing here?"
"Kikyo..hi I um..was just filling Kagome in on some things for work you know?" Inuyasha said grabbing the two plates of food from Kikyo's hand. "So what were you saying?"
"I was saying." Kikyo said as she pushed herself passed Inuyasha and into his office "That I was so happy you remembered our 4 month Anniversary." She said as she crossed her arms and sat on Inuyasha's desk. "So if you would please leave us alone." She said looking at Kagome.
Kagome turned and looked at Inuyasha, who only wore a mask of sorrow and shame on his face. Kagome stood up and walked towards the door. Inuyasha stepped forward slightly and Kagome thought for a second that he would stop her, but she could see he was glancing between her and Kikyo and right now, Kikyo won.
"If you go to the kitchen..Kaede will give you something to eat if you say I said it's okay.." He said looking at her with apologetic eyes.
"That's okay..i'll just wait till dinner.." She mumbled as she returned his gaze "Goodbye...Mr. Taisho" She said before leaving the room closing the door behind her. She could hear Kikyo saying some things from behind the door, and although she swore to herself that she didn't care and that it didn't matter she still felt upset.
And hurt. Maybe she did care and maybe it did matter? But why? She only knew Inuyasha for a few hours why would it matter to her? Maybe it was because she liked Inuyasha?
Or maybe it was because she thought Inuyasha liked her..
