Taisho's slave
My name is Kagome Higurashi and I was born in Shinjuku Jedi. I am Twenty-nine and this is the story of my life…
I was born in a place called Edo. I lived in a village of the western lands my mother tried very hard to make a living out of the crops that fed us to keep us alive, she even sold many of her things the only thing she didn't sell was the golden necklace my father gave her before he died at war, this she had given to me be fore her death.
This keepsake was kept in the Higurashi blood line for as long as the Shikon-no-tama. This was a clever way to pass along the jewel of pure magic. This jewel was coated in iron, steel bronze, silver and lastly gold to hide its powerful signature. This worked for many years and the jewel kept us safe. This was our family heir loom that no one knew of.
One day I went to the village with my brother to sell the radishes that I had grown when I saw the town's people running from the square when my brother slipped away from me getting lost in the crowd of rampaging villagers. I heard his cries and ran to him. As I took his hand I realized the danger: It was the demon traders. We tried to run as soon as our feet moved the godlike speed of a panther demon had cornered us and before I knew what was what we were on our way to the city of demons.
The two days we traveled I heard my brother's pleas for food he and I shared the radishes with the other four captives I still had the neck lace around my neck. I pulled it off, knowing that the demons would take it, and placed it in my chest bindings.
We arrived at the training camp where we were to learn to serve our new masters. But my brother was taken with me and I was inspected I was weighed measured and checked to see if I was a virgin it seemed as if this raised my market value. He asked me about my brother then he checked him for the same things. Then we were told to go wash up.
"This lovely maiden is healthy well bred and is the best specimen of grace and beauty in a human. She is as we see full figured and looks elegant besides any master look this girl is one of the most obedient ones here today. Don't let a chance like this slip by." This horned demon was describing me as if I were some horse on a block. I was chained so that I could not escape even if I was stupid enough to. "She has good child skills since she took care of her little brother since she was eight, and demons and demon-nesses that's six years experience so place your bids." I didn't want to leave my brother who I watched he was two humans away from being auctioned off. "Sold to the lord of the western lands Inutaisho". I was taken off of the block and given to a man with a large boa of silver fur that I assumed was his tail over his shoulder. He had amber eyes and long silver hair pulled into a loose ponytail. His armor was a startling gold and his garments white and black he looked regal in every sense of the word and the blue moon on his forehead like the stripes on his cheeks made his appearance even more so, breath taking.
I started to let my tears fall when my new master tuned to me and in an unusually soft tone asked me why I was crying. "I apologize it's just that my mother made me promise to watch my little brother until the day I died in her place, but obviously I cannot do so now and have failed her… I didn't honor her final wish."
"Which boy is your brother?"
"He is one on the block now." My voice cracked and horse.
The horned demon with the green garments who auctioned off the captives suddenly called out, "And the little boy sold to the lord of the western lands Inutaisho".
I wasn't separated from my only family my brother Sota. When my new master came to me with my brother I cried in relief and embraced my brother thanking this kind demon several times in the process.
I was showed to a carriage that was pulled by two fierce black dragons with sinister yellow eyes. Soon we flew away on a mist of clouds the dragons pulled the cart forewords.
When the carriage stopped and the door opened. I clasped my brother's hand in mine then I saw the grant castle. Its stone archways towers a hundred feet tall. The pillars were huge three hundred feet high this could easily be defined as the castle of a very rich lord as were the gates of magic infused iron. There were statues of warriors at every glance. The fields were large and lush with many blossoming cherry trees. I was then led by my new master into the elegant castle. Once we were inside my master's quarter I could tell they were his because of the fact that no other slaves were here of for that matter anyone, he abruptly turned to me and I snapped into attention.
"What is you name?"
"Kagome sir."
Then he called in a maid. She was dressed as the other maids. In simple grey cotton dresses and violet aprons. Her unruly brown hair brought out her green eyes. "I want her measurements I need special garments made for her and her brother, can you please make sure that is done Takako?"
"Yes m'lord." The girl turned and left. Soon she came back with a measuring tape and pencil and paper. She took many measurements of every place I can think of, she did the same to my brother. Then the master left as did the maid.
"Kagome, I don't want to stay here. I want to go home and be with my friends and my toys." My brother wined.
"Do not be so ungrateful I mean I'm not that happy to be a slave, but at least the master is kind." He looked up at me tears in his eyes. "When I left the block and started to cry he asked me why and I told him my little brother is not with me and then he brought you to me. See he is not heartless like the others."
"I was so scared I didn't want to be alone."
Before I was able to speak Takako opened the door with a pile of clothing and two baskets a small boy behind her. She placed the clothes in front if me and Sota. She then handed me one basket filled with silk under garments the other with silk hair ties. I looked at the clothes. Try them on."
The first was a white dress with red border that graced the neck line sleeve base and bottom (It was a sleeve less but the sleeves were separated from the dress so that you could tie then about for inches down like this o.) The red around the neck came around to the front of my chest (along with a few red buttons on the strip of red) and down to my navel. The split started 4 inches from the hip and was trimmed with red.
The second dress was also made of silk like the rest. This dress was like the one before it only the color changed from white to black
The third was a lovely sliver and had beautiful pink flower embroidery. Each included matching under things, matching silk slippers and hair ties.
I saw Sota's clothes they all matched mine with the same colors, and embroidery.
"I slipped off my garments as did my brother. "Those fit well on you ma'am." She handed me a comb.
"Thank You." I combed my hair until it shined. Then I pulled it in to a loose braid and let a few strands frame my face as I tidied up my brother then we were sprayed with a rose smelling perfume and led out of the room.
(Kagome's Pov)
When I saw our reflections on the polished wooden floors I couldn't help but think we looked very regal as we were led to a small room with no one in it. My master came in with a boy about my age. He wore red garments and has silver/white hair. But what truly caught my attention were the two dog ears that were perched on his head.
"Inuyasha I thought that it was time you got a personal slave."
I couldn't hold my tongue any longer "Sir if I may?" the older demon nodded at me. "I thought we were to serve you my lord."
"No actually you are to serve my son." And with that he left the room.
"lemmie show you to your quarters." He led me to a white room with only a small trunk and two futons. What could I do now but wait.
