"What?" Kagome's voice sounded uncertain.
"Let's see…you'll agree to be my slave for the next two weeks and follow all my orders without complaint," Inu-Yasha said. He figured that was pretty reasonable.
"Do you mean everything? As in…"
"Everything, though I don't usually fall as low as that," he replied.
"Fine…you've a deal," Kagome said.
"So, go and get your stuff," he said.
"What?"
"If you're gonna be my slave, you've got to serve me at my house, duh! I'm not coming to this pathetic temple just so I can order you around, so you're coming with me."
"But—"
"First order and you're already disobeying."
"Fine…jerk…" Kagome muttered.
"Wench, I heard that."
Kagome froze with her foot in mid-air, as she climbed up the stairs. She had said the 'jerk' part quietly…so…how did he know?
"That's right, you pathetic human filth, I have better hearing than you think."
2 minutes later…
"Jerk…******…*****…*******…" Kagome huffed with each item she packed.
"Heard that wench!"

"I swear you'll regret this, Taisho-sama," Kagome said darkly after waving her family goodbye.
"What, your Prince Charming on a with white steed will come hack me to pieces?" Inu-Yasha jeered. "Don't tell me you're another one of those silly human girls who dream of undying love. They're pathetic."
"No. I don't believe in undying love, or anything that is given unconditionally. They're all for fools who don't know any better than to believe that stuff. There are no such things."
Inu-Yasha was surprised. He had expected this girl to be someone who dreamt of kissing her Prince Charming every night—someone who believed in fairytales.
"So…you don't believe in that stuff, ay? Don't humans think that love is the best thing you can have in this world?"
"Maybe some do…but I ain't one of them."
"Then what do you want most in the world?"
"Someone I can trust." The words came out before Kagome could stop herself.
"Trust? Someone you could trust? Not for someone to overthrow the youkai race, no someone to love, not power or riches, but trust?"
"What would I do with power? Why should I care if the youkai race is overthrown? Somebody will just do it again with the human race. That would be a waste if I were given a wish," she replied. "Trust is not given easily…but breaks easily." At this point, she suddenly realized that she'd just poured half her heart out to a Taisho-sama she is the "slave" of and who probably didn't care.
"Is it? I guess you are right…trust—it's a fickle thing. In my opinion, you're best off not giving it to anyone."
"Huh?" Kagome was surprised he even heard what she had said.
"This isn't a perfect world and it never will be," he replied. "Trusting anyone/anything is the worst mistake you can make…"
"How would you know?"
"Because I made that mistake before…"
"And so did I," Kagome whispered softly.
