Slavery

Chapter 1: Introductions

"Time to wake up!" Mr. Higurashi yelled into the sensitive dog ears of the hanyou. Inuyasha immediately jumped up refusing to yell at this man. He had just gotten here and refused to let his pride and attitude get him beaten or shot. Even though he is half-demon, he is still half-human.

Inuyasha quickly bowed to his new master and got ready for the day. Inuyasha worked lots of things. He cleaned the house, took care of the garden, took care of the pets, ect. Someone else did the cooking considering Inuyasha was not that great at it. Inuyasha could not read nor right because slaves were not allowed to do so.

As Inuyasha was finished getting ready and was about to leave his small, barn-like house out behind the Higurashi's house, when he saw a figure standing in the doorway. The figure walked closer and Inuyasha looked at her. It was a young woman. She looked a little younger than him. She was medium in height, skinny, and wore a regular blue sleeveless shirt and a matching blue miniskirt. Her long, slender legs put Inuyasha in shock for a few seconds, he snapped out of it.

"Hi, I'm Kagome Higurashi," the girl said. "What's your name?"

"I'm Inuyasha," he said. He turned away, knowing if a master found a slave looking at his daughter, there would be consequences. Kagome smiled at Inuyasha and walked over so she wasstanding right beside him. She knew why he wouldn't look at her.

"Don't worry, my father will not hurt you for being nice to me. He promised," she said and smiled. Inuyasha turned his head slightly to look at her.

"Feh. I have to get to work," he said grumpily. Kagome crossed her arms and sighed.

'Why was that girl so nice to me?' Inuyasha thought to himself. 'I am a slave after all.' He sighed and put his shovel down. 'There, the gardens' all done.' Then, he headed towards the barn. He went in and put his shovel down. He turned and jumped back

"What?" Kagome asked.

"Where did you come from?" He asked with a tone in his voice.

"I was fixing up this place." Inuyasha looked around. She had done a good job.

"Why?"

"Because I want you to feel comfortable here."

"So I won't run away?"

"Well, I guess, but I just did it because I felt like it." Kagome smiled and had her eyes closed.

"But I'm not a guest here! You can get in trouble if you're caught here with me. I'm just a lowly hanyou." Kagome looked at him.

"My father understands. He is not as mean as other slave owners. He's not going to hurt you. And, I really don't care if you're a hanyou or not. You're still a living, breathing person," Kagome stated. Inuyasha was just staring at her.

"Feh." 'What's up with this girl? Is she planning something?' He turned around and decided to check out the barn. He didn't get to yesterday, considering he got there late at night and was pretty tired. He had been showed his bedroom, and went straight to sleep.

"Do you want me to show you around?" Kagome asked, seeing his curiosity.

"No, I'm fine," he huffed. Kagome shrugged and went to into her house. He went and looked through the barn. It was pretty big for a place for a slave. All floors and walls are wooden. His bedroom had a single bed. There was also a single wood night stand with a lamp and a matching wooden bureau for belongings.

When you walk into the barn, you were in a little sort of living room. To the left was his bedroom. To the right was the bathroom. Straight ahead was a little kitchen and dining room. There were two chairs and a small round table. There was an overhead cheap looking chandelier. In the kitchen were a little cooker and a counter. Usually, slaves didn't get a nice place like this. 'I might even like it here,' Inuyasha thought as he lay down and closed his eyes on his red worn sofa in the living area.

A few minutes later, there was a soft knocking at the door. Inuyasha opened one eye and said, "Come in." Kagome walked in with a silver platter. Inuyasha smelt something really good. His other eyed opened and he got in a sitting position.

"I brought you some food." Kagome walked to him and put the platter on the crate in front of him. Inuyasha sniffed it.

"What is it?" he asked.

"It's called ramen, I guess you've never had it before. It's really good." Kagome smiled and watched Inuyasha cautiously pick up his chopsticks and take a bite. His face lit up. It was sooo good! He gobbled down all the ramen in a few seconds. Kagome was astounded. But, he was a hanyou after all. She smiled.

"Did you like it?" she asked. He was still chewing all of the ramen, so he just nodded. "Well, if you need anything at all feel free to knock on the house door." With that, she took the tray and left.
