Chapter 4. Torture, Humiliation, Determination, Motivation, and Respect(Part one)

Sesshomaru went in between Kagome legs and was about to taste her sweet nectar when all of a sudden the door swung open and standing there was Sasaumi.

Sesshomaru looked up at Sasaumi with glowing red eyes. He got up from his previous position and stalked toward Sasaumi like a wild animal that stalked his prey in the middle of the night. Even though Sasaumi was completely terrified she couldn't avoid thinking that he moved with such grace that he would put a God to shame. Instead of killing her like she thought he was about to do, he went to the door and walked out slowly and slammed it behind him. Sasaumi without hesitation ran over to where Kagome was.

"Lady kagome, are you ok. "

"Sasaumi, what did I do to deserve this.

"Lady Kagome, everything will be ok.

Sasaumi picked Kagome up and went to the hot springs. She slowly lowered Kagome's batterted body into the water. Sasaumi began to wash the dried blood from her back as kagome hissed and cried from the pain. She will never forget what had taken place moments ago. How could she forget, she would live with his mark for the rest of her life. The S-scar that was carved in her back by Sesshomaru would remind her of her miserable life. So after Sasaumi got through washing her body and her hair, she dried kagome off. Sasaumi took some herbs and gauze and applied it on her back.

"Kagome I know that the herb I just applied is burning and it may be uncomfortable but it will heal."

Sasaumi slipped her in a beautiful black and pink sleeping kimono and laid her in the bed. After brushing Kagome's hair for about thirty minutes she left the broken miko to rest.

Sesshomaru went to straight to his bedroom chambers. He just stood in disbelief of what he had done. He had almost rapped a woman, but not just any woman , his brothers stupid human wench at that. After standing there thinking for about three minutes he decided that he needed to relax and calm his nerves. So with relaxation on his mind he went to the hotsprings and started thinking about the events that happen just moments ago. Then an evil smirk played on his face. He was determined to get what he wanted and what he wanted he always got. After deciding that he was clean enough and relaxed he went back to his bedroom, slipped on a pair of silk pants that had a half moon on the upper right corner of his leg. He pulled back the covers and slipped into bed. He was determined to break this woman-child even if he had to take drastic measures. With thoughts of mischief, he drifted to sleep.

Sesshomaru had woken up very early. The sun was not even up yet. He decided that he wouldn't waste time, he just would begin his day. He took a robe and slipped it on and went to his personal hotsprings. He looked to his servant that was already there and nodded at her. She knew the nod meant that he wanted to be left alone. He striped off his robe then took off the silk pants. He slowly lowered himself down into the hot water and decided that he would let himself soak for a while before he really focused on how to achieve his goal of domination.

The sun had risen and Kagome was wide awake, she needed a plan and she needed one fast. She had to get away from Sesshomaru. As long as she was here he had complete control over her. She knew that Inuyasha was never going to come to rescue her, he was busy fucking he clay pot. Kagome just didn't understand why Inuyasha chose the dead over the living. People always compared Kagome to Kikyo but the reality was that they were nothing alike. Kikyo says she loves Inuyasha, but why did she want him to change.

When you love someone, you accept everything about that person. Their look, their personality, and you even accept their mistakes that they would make in life. Kagome loved Inuyasha inside and out, she would never ask Inuyasha to become human or all demon, she loved him for what he was. So Kikyo did not really love Inuyasha she just lusted for him, for if she truly loved him why make him change himself.

Kagome had so many things on her mind at once. She needed to get out of there and the only way she was going to leave was to run, and prayed to Kami that she got away.

'So its settled I will make my move tonight after everyone has gone to bed. I know some concealment spells that Kaede taught me. I pray that they work and that I get out this hell hole before I meet my death.'

Kagome got up and decided to stretch her legs. She went to her closet and decided to look at what was in there. When she opened the closet door she was very amazed. There were more than over a hundred beautiful kimonos in the closet. There were several rows of sandals, nightgowns, party dresses and even some form of underclothing. There was even sparing clothing inside the enormous closet, the sparing clothing was very similar to Sango's Taji(spelling please) outfit. At the thought of her friend she sadden. She missed them all even the one who held and broken her heart. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Kagome froze. She did not want it to be Sesshomaru and then it hit her, that if Sesshomaru wanted to come into her room he would not knock.

"Milady, are you awake."

Kagome broke into a sweat, anime style.

"Yes, please come in Sasaumi."

Sasaumi entered the room with fresh towels. Sasaumi smelled the fear in the air.

"Sorry to frighten you milady I only came to make sure you were up and ready to start your day. There are some things that I have to remind and inform you about. So lets get to it Milady."

Sasaumi led Kagome to the laboratory, helped her undress, remove her bandages, and slipped her in the spring. The spring was very soothing as it lapped over her badly bruised skin. The S- scar that was on her back was healing very well.

"Sasaumi, you said that you needed to discuss a few things with me."

"Yes milady, I need for you to be alert today; it is very important that you stay aware of your surroundings. So Lady Kagome, listen and listen well. Today is the day that you start your training. You will begin training with Lord Sesshomaru after breakfast and I must warn you that he is rough with his sparing partner.

The sparing outfits are in your closet but don't worry I will help you get ready for it. After training with Lord Sesshomaru, you will comeback to your room, take a quick bath and then go and get ready for lunch. I must warn you though, there are some guest here that will not be happy to see you. You are human and they despise humans, but I will tell you about them later and what you must do to protect yourself. So Kagome, are their any questions so far."

"Actually, I have been paying attention and I understand, but I would like to know more about the people that I will be eating all of my meals with."

"Well, you will be dining with the Ladies and Lords of the lands, and I only have a limited amount of time to tell you all the things you need to know. First when you get to the table don't do anything.

The lord of the castle always is the first one to take a bite of the meal, and that's when conversation begins and they would be very interested in you. You seem to have table manners but remember to only speak when spoken to, I don't want to see you hurt."

"Sasaumi, I don't think I can do this. Sesshomaru is much stronger than me, what can I possibly do to get myself out of harmful situations when the time arises. I don't even have my bow and arrow." Kagome began to sob lightly in her hands. Sasaumi helped her out of the water and wrapped a towel around her petite yet curvy form.

"Kagome look at me"

Kagome looked up and saw Sasaumi with a warm smile planted on your face.

"Lady Kagome, I will help you. Lets go into your chambers."

They went into Kagome's room and Sasaumi told Kagome to dry off, while she picked a kimono from her closet. When Sasaumi turned around, she saw that kagome had on those funny looking underclothes and began shaking her head in distaste. She thought to herself, that she should had said no to Kagome when she begged her to wash and return them to her. She walked over to kagome and handed her the kimono.

"Sasaumi, this is beautiful."

"Yes milady, just like you. Before you slip it on I have this for you, it is for your protection."

She handed Kagome a white band, and old her to slip it up onto her upper thigh. Kagome blushed and did as she was asked. Before she could question Sasaumi about the band, Sasaumi pulled out an expensive looking dagger. She placed the dagger inside the band that was on Kagome's thigh.

"Use this dagger if you have to, it will at least give you some security. Oh and Kagome be confident in yourself. Realize what Lord Sesshomaru is trying to do. He is trying to make you his tool, so never let your gaurd down. You have a fighters spirit and that's what I like about you. You have been through so much but it will get better. I know that it seems hopeless but be strong. I know what your planning to do and it wont work. Running never solved anything."

Kagome looked up from fixing her kimono and straight at Sasaumi and wondered how in the hell she knew what she had planned.

Sasaumi put her hair in a messy bun and finally dragged Kagome over to the mirror to look at herself. She was amazed at what she saw. For the first time in a long time she hadn't seen Kikyo, but the real Kagome. Her confidence level was now at its all time high, and right then and there she decided that she was not about bow down to anyone.

Kagome would indeed play the game that the ice prince wanted her to play. She admitted to herself that she was a beautiful girl and that would not run; she would stay and prove herself worthy to be called a miko. She made up her mind that she would train hard and would take anything that Sesshomaru or what his bitch ass stuck up friends had to dish out. For the first time in days Kagome smiled.

"Sasaumi I'm hungry. What's for breakfast."

Kagome was nervous when she got to the table. Everything that Sasaumi had told her earlier constantly played in her head. She stood there and looked at Sesshomaru for the first time since their horrific encounter. He nodded at her and she took her seat.

Kagome was nervous, hell shiting bricks is more like it. She remained quiet and for a spot on the table to focus all he attention on. Everyone was shocked that she did not take a bite of her food. It was hard to grasp that a human did something that was right inside a demon society.

Sesshomaru picked up his fork and took a bite of his food. Everything sprung to life after that first bite.

Lord Sora was the first to speak.

"Well, it seems that Lord Sesshomaru has followed in his fathers footsteps and plans to bed a human bitch."

"Lord Sora, I ensure you and everyone else here that I won't bed this worthless human bitch. She is so pathetic that even my half-breed of a brother did not want her."

"Wow Sesshomaru darling, I did not know you can be so compassionate and so caring."

There was laughter all around the table but surprisingly she did not break a sweat. Actually she was focused on eating her foo, which was not hard at all considering that she haven't ate since the previous day.

"I am Lady Chun Lee. I am Lady of the Eastern lands. What is your name child?"

Kagome smiled before she spoke. "My name is Kagome Higurashi and I am very glad to meet your acquaintance."

"Hi I am Lord Karasu. I am this beautiful young lady's mate. We have one son by the name of Koga."

Kagome dropped her fork and blushed.

"Well it seems that you know our son Miss Kagome."

"Ye- yes sir. I know your son very well."

"Really, how did you come to meet him."

"Well it's a rather long story and I think that everyone at the table would not want to hear about a lowly ningen as my self talk about her adventures."

"Everyone was shocked once again at how she talked so well and how she showed no fear in her voice."

"Well I and my lovely mate are already very intrigue as to how you meet my son."

Time went by as Kagome was telling her story. Everyone demon and fellow servants were intrigued about how she met Koga and her ability to see the Jewel of Four Souls. She told about all the other demons that she had to fight. She told that she was in fact the one that the jewel came out of and that she was the one that had broken the jewel into hundreds of shards.

After she was through talking she turned her attention back to her meal. Everyone including Lord Sora wanted a chance to talk to her more. Shiori however did not like her. Even though Sesshomaru expressed that he had no interest in Kagome, Shiori still was jealous.

After everyone was through eating, Lord Sesshomaru dismissed himself and the others from the table. Kagome started to walk back to her room, surprisingly she found her way back. She looked on her bed and noticed that her sparing outfit was on her bed along with a black pair of boots.

A knock was heard at the door and in walked Sasaumi with a fresh hand towel. She helped Kagome put on her sparing outfit. She braided Kagome's hair in a single braid and led Kagome to the mirror to observe herself.

Kagome approved and followed Sasaumi to the courtyard were Sesshomaru and his men practiced daily. After walking for what seemed like miles through the enormous castle, they finally arrived at the courtyard. It did not take long for Kagome to notice that she and Sesshomaru had an audience.

All the ladies and the Lords were there and they looked like they were ready to see her take an good ass whooping. She swallowed the lump in her throat and walked out with her held high. Then she laid eyes on Sesshomaru. To her, he was beautiful and flawless. He was dressed in his regular battle armor and his hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. Kagome kept hearing the whispers of the other demons. They kept saying how much he resembled his late father. You could tell that he enjoyed the comments. It made him proud to know that he looked like him.

Kagome shook herself out of la la land and focused.

"Wench look to your left and choose a weapon that you think would best fit you."

"Yes, Sesshomaru-Sama."

Kagome walked over to the weapon keeper and a blue sheath caught her eye. She told him what she wanted and he placed the sword in her hands. She took the sword out and placed the sheath inside her belt. She walked back over to where Sesshomaru was and bowed. Luckily, Sango thought it would be helpful if Kagome at least learned some proper stances for battle.

She got in front of Sesshomaru and got into her stance. Sesshomaru smirked and ran full speed at Kagome and she actually blocked him. She had amazed herself that she was putting Sango's skill to use. She jumped into the air and came down on Sesshomaru's sword hard. It actually impressed him that this woman-child new some fighting techniques and that she was not as weak as he had thought her to be.
