She always hid her emotions. She always had a mask on. Yet she was the only one who saw him for what and who he really was.
Unknown Slave
Chapter One
She sat amongst strangers. She did not cry. She did not move. If you looked at her you would think she was dead. Her eyes showed no signs of life. Her clothes were tattered and torn. She looked like she was the living dead. She chuckled at herself. She closed her eyes and remembered why she was here. How she had gotten to this hellhole. She chuckled again. She remembered, yes.
Flashback
She had been in the palace with her mother, brother, and grandpa. She was up in one of the corridors which was her room. She had just gotten back and went immediately up to her room. She yelled her hello's to her family. If only she had known that that would be the last time she would ever see them again. There was suddenly a sickening thud that was heard. She ran down the stairs where she met them. She looked over to where her family once was. They lay there never to move again. She screamed and yelled with all her might. They grabbed her and brought her here. But in the background she could still remember the faces of her dead family. Then she heard a cold maniacal laugh in the distance.
Now
She sat there and frowned. Her mother would not have wanted her to be like this. She would want her to always smile. 'I will smile Mother, if only for you were here.' She forced herself to try and smile. It became a smirk. Then she saw another girl around her age in the corner with her back against the wall. She looked as if she was sleeping. She opened one eye to her and smiled. She crawled over to where she sat. She smiled.
"Hello, my name is Sango."
"I'm Kagome."
Sango frowned. 'This girl, she seemed so broken.' If she wanted a kind master surely she must know that she must always look happy. 'I will help her then. She smiled gently. She is like a small lost child.'
"What is the matter?"
"Besides being here?"
Sango smiled again. So this girl had more fire in her than she let on, eh? Perfect. Now all she had to do was open up and learn her past. She remembered her past. She shuddered. Kagome noticed this and looked worried.
"Sango what is the matter?"
"I was just remembering my family, they were slaughtered." Her face darkened. Kagome darkened for that matter too. She looked at Sango. She understood. "My family was slaughtered as well." Sango looked at this girl. She was only a little younger than her. "Hey, Kagome, I want to be your friend okay? But we have to make it out of this together. We have to smile even though this has happened to us." Then the girl oddly smiled at her. Sango was quite bewildered. This girl, she had the most innocent smile. It was like nothing could ever taint her. "Why are you smiling all of a sudden?" This only made her smile broaden even more. "Because you are right." Sango still looked quite confused. She continued.
"You told me not to dwell on my past. You told me to smile."
"Well let's just hope that we will be able to stay together even after we are sold."
"Err, Sango? I believe we have stopped."
Suddenly hands shot out and grabbed Sango and Kagome. They heard them say stuff about prices and tags. She heard a scream from Sango and jerked her way. She found out soon enough. There was a tight band around her neck. On it told the price for her. Then they threw her and Sango into some sort of cage.
Sango crawled over to Kagome and put her arm around Kagome. 'She must be so scared.' She looked up and smiled at Sango and mouthed 'Thank you.' Sango nodded in understanding. They looked at the crowd. There were youkai, humans, hanyou, miko, royalty, monks, everything. Kagome looked around and saw an odd looking group. There were three youkai and two humans. The tallest youkai, she guessed, must be their father. The taller of the two must be the elder one. The youngest had two furry white ears. 'How KAWAII!' He had long silver hair. He also had amber eyes. She noticed him looking at her and blushed but managed to keep her smile. The human woman must have noticed this and she guess that that was his mother. She whispered something in his ears and it made him blush bright red. Suddenly she noticed Sango was shaking. She was about to ask why when she heard. They were calling out her tag.
"This here is a fine looking one. She is the last taijiya. Her family was slaughtered but she still has lots of spunk in her. 150!"
"150!"
"175!"
"200!" yelled the monk. He was obviously human. He grinned happily as they gave her over. Sango kept her eyes on Kagome. Her turn was next.
"This one here also had her family slaughtered. She is perfectly healthy and if you ask me is perfectly adorable. 175!"
A neko youkai bid 175. Another bird youkai bid 200. Then the hanyou she saw earlier bid 250. She looked at him and noticed that he was extremely red. He went up to the front to get her. She stood there on stage. He reached out his hand and she hesitated then reached out for it. He smiled. He helped her down and led her too the rest of the group.
With Inuyasha
Inuyasha went to the slave market that day with his family and his friend. They were looking for new slaves. The moment he walked in his nose was clogged with unwanted smells. As he walked around a wonderful scent reached his nose. It was the smell of jasmine and lilies. He followed it until he found the source of the smell. When he looked he saw a girl with long ebony hair. She had brown eyes. She looked beautiful. Then he frowned. 'Why does she look so, broken? Her eyes they look, so distant.' She turned to face him and then blushed and then smiled. 'She looks even prettier when she blushes.' He shook his head. Then his mother came and bent down to his ear. "If you like her so much why don't you just go ahead and buy her honey?" He blushed bright red. 'I do NOT like her! But I'll get her anyway. Miroku bought her friend and she seems to miss her company.' He looked at taijiya who stared at Kagome. He convinced himself that the reason was because he wanted to make Miroku's servant happy which would make Miroku happy. He listened for her number. Several other youkai bid on her and he outbid them all. When he looked back at her she looked quite pale. He walked over and put out his hand. He watched her hesitate then reached for his hand. He smiled as he helped her down. Then he led her back to the rest of the group.
Normal
When she saw Sango the two immediately hugged each other. The young woman smiled at the two. Then they told them to follow along. Sango followed the monk who called himself Miroku. She waved goodbye to Kagome. The only reason why they left without any complaints was because they would see each other again at their final destination. Miroku had to make several stops so Sango left with him. The young woman and the other two youkai went in another direction. So she followed this guy. After walking for what seemed like hours of continuous silence, he decided to speak up.
"Err, my name is Inuyasha. Umm, I do not know your name."
"Kagome............"
"What was that? You will have to speak up a little bit."
"I said my name is Kagome. Ka-go-me!" She said through clenched teeth. He was really getting annoying. Inuyasha smirked. 'This girl has some spunk.' He opened his mouth only to notice that she was no longer behind him. 'Where did she go?????' He whirled around to see her far ahead of him. She turned back and waved.
"Aw, come on Inuyasha! Hurry up!"
He ran over to her. On his way his head racked at him. 'I had heard that name before I'm sure of it.' He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard her voice. He looked up to see that she was already on her horse. He also noticed that she had no saddle to go along with her horse.
"Inuyasha, are we going to leave or are we going to stay here?"
"We are leaving."
"That's what you said ten minutes ago! What are you a slug?" You could here the sarcasm in her voice. Inuyasha looked at her. She was just sold from a slave market and yet she seemed so full of life. He smirked.
"Are you proposing a race?"
"Well to where? I have no idea where we are even going."
"Well we are going to stop and make camp so what about by the lake over by the border to the western lands?"
"Sure thing, are you sure? You don't want to have your butt kicked now do you?" 'Borderline I got it. I can take it alone the stream.' Inuyasha started. She glared. What a cheater. Ah well, he's going to need it. Inuyasha raced across quickly. 'She can't possibly beat me.' He arrived at the spot she was no where to be seen. He began to worry. Then he saw a small fire at the side of the lake. He ran to that spot. He gaped at what he saw. Next to the fire sitting right in front of him was Kagome. She smiled.
"It's about time you got here."
"How did you......"
"Get here?" She finished. "I went along the river. You were no where to be seen so I decided to set up camp." He nodded. Something just didn't fit. How would she have been able to know the fastest route? There was something she was hiding and he was going to find out. He will wait until they got back.
Meanwhile
"Izayoi, what are you doing?" He stared at his wife. She had been speechless and had been staring at the slave contracts for quite awhile. She cleared her throat. "Sugumi, I think that you should look at this." He walked over. She was looking at a picture of the girl that Inuyasha bought. Then he looked at the name and gasped. He pulled out another picture that he had in one of the drawers. He studied the two pictures then dropped them.
"Izayoi, do you know when they shall get here?"
"In about a day."
"Very well."
"What should we tell him?"
"The truth."
"But........."
"If he doesn't accept her for who she is then she will leave."
"That seems a bit harsh. Perhaps we should let her stay at the castle as who she is."
"Arg! You are impossible. Fine! We will do that when they return."
She smiled at her husband. 'I hope Inuyasha understands.' She looked out the window. 'I know how much he wanted a slave but we have to do this. He will probably be crushed.'
