Chapter 3
Consequences
"Ashiru," Kagome whispered. "Are you alright?"
Ashiru turned to look at Kagome, and Kagome the fear disappear from her partner's eyes. Now her eyes became cold. Ashiru smirked at Kagome, and she smirked back. They would be fine. They could handle anything together. After all they were the best thieves in Japan! Kagome and Ashiru turned to face the council. Inuyokai stepped out of the shadows, and into the dim light. He circled them. All the while glaring at them, his hate and disgust seeming to grow stronger. He stopped in front of them, and turned to stare at the council.
"These monsters have tried to steal the Shikon no Tama, and have stolen many other precious youkai treasures! Not only that! They have killed, no, killed is not the correct word. These disgusting hanyou, have slaughtered one of our most valued council member, and the protector of the Shikon no Tama, Kikyo!" Inuyokai roared, his golden eyes now like amber flames. Several gasps could be heard from the council, as well as whispers of 'Kikyo is dead? How can that be?'
Kagome flinched when Inuyokai glared at her. Inuyokai smirked. He then turned to glare at Ashiru, who glared back. Once again, he turned to the council. "What will be their punishment for their actions?"
Suddenly, shouts filled the room. The council members all shouted the same punishment. Death.
Ashiru's eyes narrowed. 'This is the great demon council? The very same council that killed my parents? They're nothing but a bunch of animals! I will NOT just kneel here, while they tell me my fate! If I am to die, then I refuse to die without a fight!' Ashiru stood. Inuyokai, sensing something was wrong, slowly turned around, just in time to be punched in the face. He fell to the floor, stunned. Ashiru stood above him and smirked. "Paybacks a bitch, isn't it, oh mighty Inuyokai?" She turned and slashed Kagome's magic ward off, from around her partners neck.
Kagome stood, and smirked. She turned to the demon council who sat in their chairs, stunned. She felt her magic return. She lifted her hands, and started to chant a spell. The youkai cowered. Her hands glowed bright red. Just as she was about to finish her spell, she felt someone grab a hold of her wrists. She glanced up, and gasped. Red eyes glared back at her.
Ashiru chuckled at Inuyokai's stunned expression. "Still trying to figure out how I escaped from my chains, stupid youkai? Well, I'll tell you. See the trick is you have to know how to use your claws." Inuyokai's eyes widened. "It also helps that I'm a thief you idiot! I understand though. It must be hard to comprehend all of that since your brain is so small." Ashiru taunted. She raised her claws to deliver the blow that would end Inuyokai's meaningless life. Just as she was about to ram her claws into his heart, she felt a blade at her throat. Ashiru tilted her head slightly, so she could look at the wielder of the sword. Golden eyes glared back at her. She growled at the youkai, as he dug the sword deeper into her neck.
"Step away from my father, hanyou." The golden-eyed youkai growled into Ashiru's ear. She shivered slightly in pleasure, before snapping back to reality.
Ashiru chuckled. "Now, why the hell would I want to do that?" The sword dug deeper into her neck, and she hissed slightly at the pain. Again, she chuckled. "Stupid youkai, do you think I'm afraid of death?" The youkai growled, before turning her to Kagome. She gasped.
"I know you aren't afraid of death, but you do fear for friends life, do you not? Now, I suggest you be a good little hanyou, and do what you're told, or my brother will have to kill your little friend."
Ashiru whimpered. This youkai was right, she did fear for Kagome's life. She sighed. "Fine bastard. I'll do what I'm told, but make sure that Kagome is not harmed!"
The sword was removed from her neck, and she quickly turned around. This youkai, looked exactly like Inuyokai! Instead though, his long white hair was let down, and his eyes were much colder then that of Inuyokai's, if that was at all possible. He was dressed in a fancy kimono. He sheathed his sword. That was when Ashiru noticed that he had another sheathed sword that rested on his left hip.
"Who are you?" Ashiru demanded.
The youkai had already started to walk towards his brother, when Ashiru demanded to know who he was. He glanced at her, out of the corner of his eye. "My name is Sesshomaru, and I am heir to the Western lands. Not that you needed to know." Ashiru growled, before following, the arrogant bastard that was heir to the Western lands.
Kagome stared at the youkai that dared to lay a hand on her. He had long white hair that reached his back, and atop of his white hair, sat two fluffy dog-ears. He was dressed in a fancy red kimono. A sheathed sword rested on his left hip. He had three angry, purple slashes of color across his cheeks. Kagome's eyes widened, and before she could stop herself, she found herself rubbing his cute little ears! Kagome giggled, he was just like a little puppy! Ok, an overgrown, glaring puppy that was actually a youkai, and by the looks of it, one who wanted to kill her. The youkai's growling slowly changed into purring. Kagome, although stunned, kept rubbing the overgrown puppy's ears. She stopped, when she heard laughing. Embarrassed, she stepped away from the youkai, and turned to her partner, who was almost rolling on the floor in laughter. Beside her stood another youkai that looked like Inuyokai. He just gave her a cold look, before stepping past her. He walked towards the other youkai. Kagome walked towards Ashiru.
"What are we waiting for?" Kagome hissed to her companion. "Let's get out of here, while those two idiots are occupied!" Ashiru composed herself, and nodded in agreement. They started to make their way to the door, when Inuyokai's voice stopped them.
"Where do you think you two are going? I am going to kill you myself for what you've done! No only have you dared to strike me, but you attempted to kill the council!" Inuyokai roared, his eyes turning red, showing he was getting ready to transform.
"Father, calm down." Sesshomaru said. "I have a much better punishment for the hanyous with the sticky fingers." Inuyokai turned to his son. Wanting to know the punishment that was worse than death. "Inuyasha and myself want them as slaves." Inuyokai stared at his son, before laughing. "Father, I'm serious."
Inuyokai stopped his laughter. His sons were serious. "Fine, you may have them as slaves for as long as you wish. When you are done with them however, they will be put to death."
Inuyasha chuckled. "That's fair, besides we probably won't keep them long. Just enough to take away their will to live."
"Fine, it is done! From this day forth, these two hanyous are now slaves and property of the princes of the Western Lands!" Inuyokai roared, before leaving the council room.
Ashiru and Kagome stared at the princes, now their masters. The two youkai smirked. At the same time Kagome and Ashiru told the princes their reactions to this arrangement.
"WHAT?!!!!!!!!!" Kagome yelled.
"You have got to be joking! There is no way that I am going to be a slave to you!" Ashiru yelled, her eyes becoming blue flames. The two youkai chuckled, this was going to be fun.
