Chapter 2

Kagome stumbled along the smooth surface of the hallway as she was pulled roughly my the impish creature. He gave a few sharp tugs on her bonds to speed up the progress. As he did this kagome groaned and lurched forward falling in a heep upon the floor. She lay there feeling her wounded arm throb along with the rest of her body, she closed her eyes and silent tears spilled from her lashes.

"Get up you wretched wench the Great Lord does not like to be kept waiting, especially for a human." gnareled her capter.

When she did not move he sent a sharp kick in to her exposed ribs and was rewarded with a yelp from kagome as she stagered to her feet. He continued to pull her along as he mumbled insults under his breath. After what seemed an eternity they arrived at a lavish set of rosewood doors that were adorned with two silver dragons holding a cresent moon high above their heads. The impish creature knocked twice before they herd someone within say "Enter" with silky, emotionaless voice.

"My Lord I bring the human-child as you requested." said the imp as he draged kagome through the doors and threw her to the floor in an attempt to make her bow before his lord. When she started to stand he kicked in the side again mumbling more insults at the girl.

"That is enough Jaken, we do not want her to die before she can full fill her purpose now do we." Said the Great Lord in a monetone voice.

"Of course my lord," Stamered the imp. "We would not want that."

Kagome coughed as she gasped for breath that came in short uneven gasps. 'Now what is going to happen to me, he says he wants to keep me alive and purpose do I have to serve' she thought.

A voice broke through her thoughts, silky and soomth and almost suductive in its own way. "Jaken take her to the baths and get her cleaned, I can smell her stench and it is most unpleasant."

"Yes my Lord!" chiped Jaken. "Come you wench, you should be greatfull for my Lords generosity and most fortunet to be alive."

And with that she was pull from the study and led down the labirenth of halls, through screens and doors and finally flung into steamy hot waters where her bonds were removed and her flesh scrubed clean. After all the rough cleaning she was dressed in a simple kimono and was taken to small room. The room simple in design and housed no furnishings except a futon in the middle of the floor and a plain shoji screen in a corner. "This is where you will stay." said a servent in placid tone.

Kagome sighed and kneed on the futon as the servent left. She stared at the blank walls until darkness enveloped the room and the only thing to do was lay down and sleep. Sleep did not come easily for Kagome as she thought what her purpose would be to the lord of this vast castle. With hours past she finally fell into a troubled sleep where she saw herself died in many ways she did not know was possible. She was starrtled awake by her horrid dreams only to find two golden orbs staring at her. But as soon as she saw the they vanished. Leaving her feeling even more uneasy then she did when she fell asleep.
