Hey y'all, my first fic, trying something new here! Hope ya like.

Chapter 1-The Purchase

It was their first auction. The fist time they were shoved in a glass box that held their prices in the upper right hand corner. The two young girls stood in line, waiting their turn. Kagome looked to her friend for comfort. The elder girl smiled and grasped the younger girl's hand.

"It'll be ok. We'll get out of this hell-hole together. Together, like always." Sango smiled at her friend, hoping to reassure her.

"We may get out of this one, but only to be thrown into another." Kagome retaliated.

Their first master had been kind to them. They were both born into his home and raised there. But he died suddenly 2 years ago after a heart attack. The two girls, along with the other servants, were taken to a facility. A facility where demons purchased humans to be used as servants. After demons realized they could overpower the human race, they did just that. Now, there is no human who knows of a life before demon rulers.

The two girls were grabbed roughly by the shoulder and led to a box.

"All ya do is stand there an' look pretty, got it?" They both nodded their heads in reply. Kagome squeezed her friend's hand as they stepped into the thick, glass 'cage.' They looked on as demons passed them by. Some stopped to look at them; others walked on by without even a glance.

"There's so many of them." Kagome muttered in awe.

-----

"And why are we here again?" Inuyasha made his way through the crowd with his older brother.

"Miroku suggested we have some woman servants to keep the house clean, since neither he nor Hojo do." Sesshomaru smoothly replied before stopping in front of a cage with two young girls.

"You're taking advice from our COOK!" The younger spat out in disgust. He then looked at the two servants for sale in front of him and his brother.

"He has a point though...These two are a bargain, what do you think?" Sesshomaru questioned his seemingly uninterested brother.

"Take 'em, I don't care! I just wanna get outa here." Was his reply. Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha, then turned to a man by the cage to purchase them.

"It's a good buy my Lord. These two have had years of experience, despite their ages." The demon opened the door to grab the girls out.

"All right, this one here's Sango, she's 16 with 14 years behind her as a servant." The man said, thrusting her forward. Sesshomaru circled her. She was in good shape, strong, and slender. Her chocolate colored hair held high in a ponytail reached just below her shoulder. Her brown eyes watched him intensely. He nodded in approval and looked to the man again.

"And this one's Kagome. A year younger, and a year less of being a servant." She walked up, not wanting the same treatment as her friend received. The Lord could tell she was also healthy, not as muscular, but her strong spirit shone through her rich, brown eyes. Her mid-length raven hair slid over her shoulders as she turned to her friend.

"Can we go now that we got 'em?" Inuyasha asked his brother, irritation sewn through his voice. The elder turned to him.

"Get them, and we'll leave." Sesshomaru replied with a slight edge in his voice. 'Finally!' Inuyasha thought. He pushed Sango forward and grabbed Kagome by the wrist. They reached the car and Sesshomaru said, "I have business to attain to, take them home, show them around and what-not. I'll be back by dinner." With that, he turned and walked down the street, eventually lost from sight.

The three got in the car and Inuyasha grumbled, "Damn bastard, running off like that! Just who the hell does he think he is?"

The young driver turned to him. "Oh, Inuyasha, that's just the way he is! I see you got two new servants? Hello, I'm Hojo!" He said, turning to the girls. They both just stared, thinking the same thing. 'Should we reply? Can we talk?' They were all silent the rest of the way home. Well, except for Hojo-he just kept talking...and talking...Until they finally reached the mansion. Kagome and Sango both stared up in awe. Then followed their young master inside. The two girls stared up at the high ceiling, but were shortly brought back to reality as they both felt...a hand...where neither of them wanted on to be. They both swung around to see a handsome young man with a smile on his face.

"Ladies, welcome! I'm Miroku, the cook. Nice to meet both of you. Inuyasha, you picked them well, they are both quite beautiful." The young man said. His violet eyes twinkled and he gave a grin that would make any girl buckle at the knees.

"Snap out of it pervert," Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's wrist and nodded at Sango. "Show her around, I'll give this one a tour."

Miroku held out his hand, "Shall we?" he asked Sango. His answer, a cold glare that even the great Lord himself couldn't compete with.

"So, it was Kagome, right?" Inuyasha questioned as he led her up the grand stairway to the second floor.

"Yes" was her simple reply. He turned to her when they reached the top of the stairs.

"Well, I'm Inuyasha, and my brother's the Lord of the Western Lands. It was just the four of us guys here, but that lecherous cook suggested we get women servants to clean and serve. So, you'll be serving and cleaning the second floor rooms. Sesshomaru's only here for dinner really, so you'll serve us there. I though, require cereal in the morning." He led her down a hall and opened a door. "You'll bring it here to my room every morning."

"Yes sir." Again, was her simple reply. Inuyasha stared at her for a moment. She could feel his golden eyes baring into her. She looked up into the molten orbs. "Is...is something the matter?" She asked quietly. Averting her eyes to her feet quickly.

"You two don't talk much...probably the most boring things in this place." Inuyasha said, hoping to set off a spark.

Her head shot up, and anger flashed through her eyes. 'Bingo.' Inuyasha smirked. "We were raised in an open home, but at the facility we learned to stay quiet. Some masters like their servants mute." Kagome said, and edge of anger to her voice.

"And some don't." Was Inuyasha's response. Kagome eyed him, wondering if she should say something.

"Which are you?" She asked, putting aside the 'never question master' rule.

"I don't like mute servants. They're creepy." He answered. Then, he sat on his bed, Kagome followed. "I also don't like servants when I don't know anything about them." Kagome raised her eyebrow. He looked at her, waiting for her to talk.

"Are you trying to bond?" She asked while trying to keep a straight face.

"Bond? No, not 'bond.' Miroku's doing the same to your friend. We're just making sure you girls can handle the job." Kagome nodded her head understandingly.

"My name's Kagome, I'm 15. I was born in a demon home and worked for my master until I was 13. That's when he died of a heart attack. Sango and I were sent to the facility. They 'trained' us, then sold us to you. That's about it." She finished, looking to her silver-haired master. He sat there for a moment to absorb what she said, then looked at his watch. "Time to eat, tell me more later, ok?" She nodded and followed him down to the kitchen.

Ok, that's it...Tell me if you like it by leaving a REVIEW! Please! I'll post the 2nd chapter as soon as I can, and trust me, it's a bit more interesting. I hope this is long enough. I had no idea how long it would actually appear when I typed it!
