Chapter 4- Enslaved

"Die...........!"

Sesshoumaru's sword cut through Jade's pale, delicate skin. Her limp body fell to the ground with a loud thump.

"Hmph...pathetic!" Sesshoumaru looked at the dead girl. A look of satisfaction and victory shone in his eyes. However, he wasn't entirely pleased with what he did. 'Why do I feel like I haven't done the right thing?' Sesshoumaru thought.

"I got it....maybe I should've tortured her a bit more. Yes, that's it. I guess I could try killing her again, only this time I'll do it right." Sesshoumaru grinned and unsheathed Tenseiga.

"I see them, the beings from the underworld." Sesshoumaru sliced through them, and picked Jade up.

"Huh? Why am I not dead? Why is my ankle healed?" Jade looked at herself confused. Then, she looked up at the demon that held her.

"Demon! Explain yourself!" Jade spoke harshly.

"Quiet wench! I revived you with my sword because I want to make your death more bitter." Sesshoumaru gave an evil laugh before wrapping his furry tail around Jade, and taking off into the air. 'Where is he taking me?' Jade thought to herself as she looked at the scenery. Suddenly, a beautiful palace could be seen in the distance.

"Wow." Jade gapped at the enormous, elegant, beautiful palace.

"This is my home, and your future grave!" Sesshoumaru spoke harshly. Jade glared daggers at the demon lord. 'We'll see about that!' She thought to herself.

"Jaken, take this human wench to a room. In the meantime I will see what I can make her do for me." Sesshoumaru ordered a small toad-like demon.

"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama," the demon bowed his head, "Come wench!"

"Listen here you stupid toad, I AM NOT A WENCH OR A SLAVE!" Jade glared at Sesshoumaru and at Jaken. Then Sesshoumaru's grin turned into a snarl, and he wrapped his hands around Jade's neck.

"How dare you-" Sesshoumaru was cut off by a small voice.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, you're back! Is that pretty girl going to be my friend?" the little girl gave Sesshoumaru a wide smile.

"Yes, Rin, this girl is going to be your friend," Sesshoumaru gave Jade an evil grin. "Rin, go outside and play for a while."

"Yes, my lord!"

"You brought me here to be her friend?" Jade almost chuckled.

"No, I didn't wish to tell Rin the sad truth. You are here to be my slave, and I will kill you once I have what I want from you. I was thinking of starving you, but I guess I'll have plenty of time to think of my methods of killing you." Sesshoumaru's cold voice sent chills down Jade's spine.

"Do I make myself clear?" he asked.

"Perfectly." Jade responded.

"Very well then, Jaken take this human wench to her temporary room."

"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama."

Jade followed quietly. She wanted to make herself as wanted as possible. 'What am I going to do now?!' Jade thought as she walked silently to her "temporary room".

"Here you are. I suggest you get some rest, wench, because my master is going to work you until you die." The ugly toad demon laughed evilly as he left the room. Jade scanned the room. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. The bed sheets and curtains were made of the finest silk Jade had ever seen. The soft material slid in between her fingers like water. Jade looked out the window at the sunset.

"Where is that wolf demon, Kouga, when you need him?" Jade asked herself. 'I wonder if he's looking for me.' Jade thought to herself hopefully.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Somewhere in the Forest~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An angry Kouga searched high and low for the strange girl. 'Damn it! Where'd she go?'

"Hey Kouga! I think some demon took your woman!" Ginta cried.

"W-what?! I ....I.....n-never said she w-was my w-woman!" Kouga stammered. "Wait a minute! A demon took her?!" Kouga's eyes flashed a dark red.

"Yeah, a male demon was here, and I can smell some blood."

"If that bastard lays a finger on her, I'll kill him!" Kouga took off in the direction that the demon's scent was leading him.

"Don't worry, Jade, I'll save you. And I'll kill that bastard!"

(well Kouga iz pretty damn pissed! Wut do u guys think? Should Kouga save Jade, or should Sesshoumaru get to keep her? Cast your votes and REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!)
