Chapter 3
Hatred and Boredom
Quickly the hanyou let go of the slave, pushing the girl back onto the bed. She winced in pain, but Inuyasha found that he did not care. What was he doing, anyways, talking with a slave? And where was Sango? He walked over to the window and looked out at the grounds. He did that a lot these days. There was nothing else to do. He heard movement from the bed, but did not turn around. He jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder, and spun around, pulling himself away. The girl, Kagome, was standing there, looking a bit scared.
"Umm...master? W-why did you help me, s-sir?" she asked, hesitantly.
"Would you have rather I let him take you?" Inuyasha spat at her, "cuz if I did, you would no longer be a virgin. Is that what you wanted?"
She gasped. "How did you-"
"I'm a dog demon, bitch. I can smell it." He looked over at her, frowning. "What the hell do you think you doing out of bed? Get over there before I throw you, wench."
She looked up at him sadly. "Do you hate me because I'm a miko?" she asked quietly.
"No."
The girl looked up quickly, a happier look in her eyes. The hanyou had had enough. He picked her up with one arm and carried her over to the bed, throwing her roughly down on it. He stood over the girl, looking down at her.
"No, I hate you cuz you're a slave, a bitch, a whore." He growled, watching the hurt fill in her eyes at his words, to be replaced by tears. Disgusted, he decided to leave the wench to her crying. He stalked towards the door just as Sango came back in. she took one look at the girl crying quietly on the bed and at Inuyasha's angry face and put her hands on her hips.
"What did you do, Inuyasha?"
"Nothing." He spat as he pushed past her, out of the room.
Rolling her eyes, the exterminator hurried over to the girl.
************
Sesshoumaru paced his room restlessly. Why had he let Inuyasha stop him? It was his castle, he could do anything he wanted, have anything he wanted. And he wanted that miko bitch. Why, he could not say, just, she had caught his eye at the slave market. He should not have brought a human to the castle, but there was something about her...
He growled to himself. Even Inuyasha had noticed it, with his half demon sense. If he had taken her that night, he might have found what it was, and not be, now, frustrated and confused! Damnit!
He punched the wall in anger. Why had he not just hurt his brother enough to get him out of the way? Why had he turned around and left? Sesshoumaru swept over to the window, just in time to see Inuyasha run out of the castle and into the woods.
"Well, my hanyou brother, where are you going this time?"
************
Inuyasha ran through the forest as fast as he could go, needing to burn off some anger and boredom. He had been cooped up in that hellhole for to long now. He needed some fresh air, whether Sesshoumaru liked it or not. Slashing down two trees in his way, the hanyou ran deeper into the woods, glad to finally be alone, to finally be able to think clearly...
*I don't get it! Where are these feelings coming from? Sure, I have felt hatred before, but never this fucking strongly! It started when I looked at that human girl... What is it about her that I hate so much? I don't know how to explain it, why her? Maybe cuz I know that she is so weak and pathetic and helpless... *
When he decided he had run far enough into the forest, Inuyasha collapsed by a small stream. He lay on his back, looking up at the trees above him. Small patches of blue sky could be seen through the leaves...
*Damnit all! If I hate that little slut so much, why the hell did I help her? I SHOULD have just let Sesshoumaru take her. I do not care about her! He can have her. As soon as she is healed, I'll tell Sango to throw her back in with the other slaves and be done with her.*
How had a pretty young girl like that become a slave, anyways? A miko, as well. She looked like she could come from a noble family, but that, of course, was impossible. She was a slave. Nobles are not slaves, damnit! Why did she have to be so puzzling? Why did she have to be so interesting?
His ears twitched suddenly, hearing movement in the bushes behind him. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Come on out, monk. I know that you're there, so its no use trying!" he snapped.
"Damn!" came Miroku's voice as he walked into sight from behind a tree. "I almost had you!"
The hanyou snorted. "Ya right! I could smell you a mile away! You might as well give it up, you'll never sneak up on me."
"No! Never...I will do it one day! I must!"
"Sure, whatever. What were you doing following me way out here anyways?"
The monk sighed and sat down beside his friend. "I saw you go rushing off out here. It looked like you had something on your mind, and I thought that you might want to talk about it...that's all..."
"Well you thought wrong!"
They sat in silence for a few minutes, and then Miroku spoke again. "Are you sure?"
"ya." Inuyasha growled, and then lowered his eyes. "No."
"I thought so." stated the monk smugly. "So, what is she like?"
"I...what?" Inuyasha asked, confused.
"The girl you that your seeing. Is she pretty? Is she kind?"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Oh, no! It's not that Kikyo bitch again, is it?" the monk shuddered.
"You think that's my problem? I am not in love, asshole! Quite the opposite!"
"What? Then what else could get you so upset, besides girl trouble?"
"You think that I'm upset?!"
"Well...ya! Just look at y—"
"I'M NOT UPSET, DAMNIT!!!" the hanyou yelled, jumping up.
"Whoa... calm yourself." The monk said pulling his friend back down. "So...what is the problem, then?"
"Feh, you think that I am going to tell you?" Inuyasha spat at him.
"Well...ya."
Inuyasha sighed. "You always DID know me to well, monk."
Miroku smirked. "So, what the story then?"
"Well, it's not much...I just had to be alone for a while." He shot Miroku a dirty look then continued. "You know that new slave?" his friend nodded. "I- I don't really know why, but I really hate the little bitch. She just makes me so angry with her innocence! I could smell it on her. She is a lot stronger that she looks, but the way that she acts so weak... And also her looks. No one is that perfect! It is frustrating, how she acts like its nothing! And then she was all like, 'master, why did you save me? You're my hero' and shit. She pisses me off!"
"Ahh...true love at last!" said a dreamy eyed Miroku. Inuyasha hit him hard on the head. "Ow! What the hell was that for?"
"What with you and love all the time? Cant you see I fucking hate the bitch?" the hanyou hissed.
The monk sighed. *That stubborn little boy will never learn to see what is in front of his very nose.* he thought sadly, looking up at the darkening sky. Getting up, he turned to the hanyou. "Come on, Inuyasha. We should be getting back now."
************
Dinner was a quiet affair. Very quiet, Sango noted. The sparks flying between Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru did not go unnoticed by any one at the table. The exterminator sighed, thinking that the brothers would just have to work it out...but it made things very tense among the others. She picked at her food in silence, knowing, that across the table, Miroku was doing the same. She looked up and caught his eye. He blinked, and, reading her expression mouthed, 'don't do anything, Sango. You'll only make it worse'. She nodded and looked down again. Suddenly Sesshoumaru stood up.
"Inuyasha...after we finish eating, I am going to go and look at the slaves again. I trust that you'll be joining me?" His voice was challenging.
"Wouldn't miss it." The hanyou smiled coldly, thinking, *Now what's he up to?*
"Good. We will go now, then. I take it your friends will be joining us?"
"No-" Sango started when Miroku cut in. "Yes, of course!"
"Wait...why now? You said when we had finished!"
"The sooner the better." said Sesshoumaru as he swept out of the room. Growling slightly, Inuyasha followed him.
************
The slaves stood, shivering slightly, as their master walked in front of them, eyeing them closely. When he reached the end of the line, Sesshoumaru turned to face his half brother quickly.
"Where is she?"
"Who?" the hanyou asked, knowing very well who his brother was talking about.
"Don't play games with me, little brother. Where is that human slave?"
"Why? Who wants to know?"
"I do." The youkai hissed. "Why? Because I am going to make her my personal slave."
Inuyasha blinked. "No, your not."
"What did you say?"
"I said 'no, your not'."
Sesshoumaru laughed harshly. "Oh? And may I ask why not?"
"Because I already claimed her. You got a problem with that, asshole?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The third chapter is done! Sorry for the wait, but I wanted to finish 'Forbidden Love' first (which, yes, is done). Ok, first, Inuyasha only claimed her as his personal slave. He did NOT make her his life mate. Second, Inuyasha really does hate Kagome, he doesn't just think he does, and third, please PLEASE review it!!! ~Sodapop
