Chapter 11
Late Dark Night
Inuyasha and Kagome stood staring at each other. Inuyasha just stood with his arms crossed, glaring at the miko. Kagome blinked, and took a step back. Her eyes were wide and staring, water dripping off her hair and plastering her clothes to her body. The hanyou rolled his eyes and turned to walk away.
"W-wait, Inuyasha! D-don't leave m-me again."
Inuyasha's POV
I froze. What was that? Did-did she just say what I think she just said?
I turned around. She has her head down, is she crying? Or is it just the rain. She is shivering. Well, so am I but that doesn't matter. I take a step towards her. Kagome looks up. She IS crying!
Wait.
Why is she crying? She said she hated me! Maybe she is just scared, and lost. And wet. Very wet, the small slaves dress clinging to her soaked body in just the right places—
Ok, enough hentai thoughts.
Keep focused.
Is-is she come towards me? Oh my god she is! What is she doing?
Kagome's POV
I didn't know what to do. I couldn't just let him walk away again. I had too much to say, to much to tell him. So I called out to him. I guess it worked, cuz he stopped, and turned around. Ok… now what?
God damnit I'm really wet.
Now, back to the important stuff. Inuyasha took a step closer to me. What is he thinking? What should I do? All I know is that I don't want him to walk away on me. Too many people had left me in my life time.
I lived with my parents when I was young. My mother was a maid in the Lords house, and also a miko in the village temple. My father, I didn't see much. He was always out fighting in wars, or just to busy to spend time with his family. My mom missed him terribly whenever he was away. Maybe that was the reason she hated me so much. She probably felt it was my fault her husband didn't spend enough time at home.
It was in a war that father was finally killed. We didn't get the news till months later. I was only four at the time, so I didn't really know what it meant when my mother told me he was dead. All I knew was that she cried a lot, and for some reason blamed me for his death. After that, our relationship got worse.
When I was five, my mother sold us both into slavery. We had no way to support ourselves, after me dad died, so it was the only way. Since I was so young, I couldn't do much, so I sat there and watched my mom. Our master thought I was cute, and I often played with his daughter. I adapted quickly to the slaves life. It was easy for me then. My mother hated it.
About a year later, she was caught sleeping with a Lord who was visiting from another country. She was beaten badly, and we were both sold to a widower in charge of the kingdom to the east. He wanted mom for a bed slave, and I accidentally walked in on them one night. The next day, I was taken to the slave market. My mother stayed back up at the Lords castle. That was the last time I ever saw her.
I was bought by a prince. I don't know where he was from, but he was visiting from over seas. We crossed the ocean back to his land, and I lived there for around 4 years, before he got tired of me. Over the next 7 years, I went from master to master, who each, in turn, grew bored of me.
Finally one stuck with me for a few years, just enough time for me to grow up. When I was 17, I finally found out what he had bought me for. I was to be his toy, just like my mother had been. Well I wasn't a willing slave. When he tried to take me, I fought him, and ended up breaking a couple of his ribs. He didn't know how to fight. I was whipped, beaten, and then locked up for months. I think everyone just forgot about me for a while. I was a mess when I was finally let out, and then sold to a youkai who ruled the western lands.
I was scared. I was the only human in with a lot of demons. Plus, after the way I had been treated, I was afraid of almost everyone. I didn't know what to expect in this new castle, and I knew what I was being sold as. The traders thought my spirit was gone, and I would be willing now. Maybe I would have been. But then I met Inuyasha.
From the moment I saw him, I knew he was different. He seemed disgusted by the idea of slaves. But I didn't want to get my hopes up. Why would he be any different from the others? I was terrified of his brother.
But now everything has changed. Inuyasha is here. I can change my future.
Normal POV
Inuyasha took another step towards the shivering girl, so they were close together. "Kagome, did you mean what you said back there? That you hated me?"
The miko shook her head. "N-no, Inuyasha, I didn't."
"Then what did you mean?"
She didn't answer. Instead she reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down and lightly pressed her lips against his. Fire jolted through her body as he deepened the kiss.
The pulled back, panting, arms still wrapped around each other.
Inuyasha smirked. "You still didn't tell me what you meant."
Kagome laughed. "You mean that wasn't a good enough answer?"
"It was. But I still want to hear you say it your self."
"I love you, Inuyasha."
That was all he needed to hear. They kissed again, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her flush against him. She entwined her hands in his hair, running her fingers through his silky white locks. The hanyou smirked against her lips. He knew this would be one of the best nights in his life.
