chapter five
THE MEETING OF THE KING
Kagome followed the girl to a room the size of a ballroom. The room was filled with mostly women but there were a few guards talking and laughing with some of the women. "There must be at least three hundred women in here! why are there so much?" asked Kagome to Helen. "we are all wives of master although most of us die of old age before even meeting him, I have met him, old and ugly, very rude and a demon of some kind. He gave me a neckless and said it would match my eyes. giggle sometimes we get sold but only if we are not wanted or not pretty enough tears form I was almost sold, I was still heartbroken over... him wipes tears from her eyes" at this point Kagome took a better look at the girl and saw powder blue eyes, red lips blond hair and a innocent smile. She looked very frail and young, about fifteen to be exact. "Where are you from Helen?" asked Kagome with peaked curiosity as Helen walked to two empty chairs and they ordered what they wanted to eat. Helen had not been joking when she had said that they would wait for her to come down, everyone apparently had a maid and a guard and everyone made dinner orders when Kagome had sat down. As the food came Helen said " I am from a place called Greece, I was going to marry a royal guard head captain... which is a grate honor but I was kidnaped and he killed.sad glassy eyes so where are you from? or are you not ready to talk about it?" Helen said this with slight smile at the end. " I was the girl that all men wanted to marry in my village, I was able to fall in love with the head guard of the royal palace, he loved me too, we saw a future together. It's not all that bad here though you don't even have to work. You just need to look as good as possible every day just in case today is the day he comes home. I've been captured for about a year now. And never been touched except when he took my had to give me the neckless " Helen said this with a mixture of fear and happiness, as though she did not know how to feel on the mater " Where does he go that he is gone so long? what is his name and why does he have so many wives?" asked Kagome as she finished her dinner and the desert was served "I do not know his name, to be honest I do not particularly care, not to be rude. I think he has so many wives because he likes to show us off to his friends or he likes variety either way and he goes away because he likes to travel, he is gone for years at a time. Sometimes he will go on a journey that is so long that when he comes back all of his wives are gone from old age of coarse replaced with new ones. Eat up and stop worrying. Oh, a warning to you, this place is always swarmed with pirets some in masters liege and some not there are to many to keep eye on so do not travel outside stay in your room if you can help it or you will not like the outcome, if you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong all men are slayed if they come up to you, not including the guards of course. now thats enough of my babbling come to bed." with the meal finished Kagome walked with Helen.
Kagome awoke to someone in her bedroom moving around. A loud thud
was heard along a loud grunt from a female. "who is that?" asked Kagome to the darkness. " oh sorry to wake you I was just getting up to take a bath before they are all taken. There is two hundred of us and only fifty baths. I thought I would get a head start, are you one of the new girls?" said the darkness "yes" said Kagome "My name is Sharry" said Sharry " mine's Kagome" "If you want a head start on a bath come with me" said Sharry as she finally found the door and opened it to go. "hold on" said Kagome throwing on a white housecoat that had been given to her by Hellen. The light showed Sharry to be a girl with long deep red hair and huge emerald green eyes, she was wearing an emerald housecoat with shoes to match.
The bathroom was the size of thirty houses with doors lining the walls.
Each door lead to a room with some stairs and as you walked down the stairs you walked into nice hot water that smelled like wild flowers. There was a ledge that held all the soaps, shampoos, conditioners and fluffy white towels. Kagome wasn't stupid enough to fall for this trick " He still thinks that he can buy my heart, well he is wrong!" thought Kagome. A guard came up behind her "Are you going in or am I pushing you? by the way I am your guard David and this is your maid Laura" the guard pointed her to the door where an old lady hurried in with a platter of make-up, clothes, jewelry and other girl necessities of that like.
The guard left but not before telling Laura that if Kagome was to present trouble to call him he would be in the hall. "Inuyasha is going to save me any day now, so I only have to deal with this a few more days. No use running away it would only prolong my rescue" Thought Kagome as she took off her housecoat and descended the steps into the water. She was not completely naked, she was wearing a long-sleeved white silk nightgown that reached her ankles, and underwear.
Inuyasha awoke on his stomach with sand in his mouth and all over him. he was on a tropical island. The ship's wood was everywhere but there appeared to be none of the crew around. Inuyasha did not care, he had to go save Kagome. " Hold on Kagome... Im coming..." said Inuyasha as he dragged himself up and walked in the direction that the ship was last seen.
What no r's well thats not fair! pouts like an eight year old. well why don't I just kill off Inuyasha and sell kagome off to some sailor? I could! I'll even accept flames come on one r and Inuyasha and Kagome might live happily ever after. might. yes this could be black mail but come on will it cost you?
