Slavery

Chapter 2: Sundown

Inuyasha sighed. He decided to talk to Kagome. He got up and headed for the barn door. He opened the barn door. thump

"Hey!" Inuyasha said rubbing his head.

"Oh! I'm sorry Inuyasha!" Kagome had went to knock on the door at the same time Inuyasha opened it causing Kagome to knock on Inuyasha's forehead.

"Whatever, it's ok." Inuyasha said

"So, where were you going?" Kagome questioned.

"Uh… I was… going for a walk," he lied. 'Would it be bad if I had gone to her door?'

"Well, can I come with you?" she asked.

"Sure…" Inuyasha sighed. Kagome smiled.

Kagome and Inuyasha walked on a trail. "I used to have to walk this alone to go to the store or to get into town." Kagome had said along the way. They lived out in the country. Not many houses surrounded them. "I'm so glad it's summer!" Kagome started a conversation. She didn't like silence to much. Inuyasha didn't know what to say. "So, how old are you? I just turned 15."

Inuyasha looked at her. "I'm 17."

"Cool. So, what do you like to do in your spare time?" Kagome asked.

"Well, I usually never got much spare time, but I like to eat and sleep." He smirked. Kagome smiled.

They walked for a while in silence, until Inuyasha said, "Hey Kagome…"

Kagome looked up. "You said my name," She said.

"Uh… yeah, so?" he asked confused.

"Well, you've never said my name before… but anyways, what were you going to say?"

"Well, um…" He paused. "Have you ever had a slave before?" that wasn't his first question.

"No, why?" She asked.

"Uh… just wondering."

"Ok, now I have a question for you."

"Yeah?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Yeah, did you ever have a girlfriend?"

Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah, but we got into a fight and she was shipped off somewhere else. I don't care what happens to her anyways." (A/N: See? Nobody cares about Kikyo! evil laugh)

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Don't be, it's kind of nice to have someone to talk to." He smiled. Not a cocky smile like he usually had, but a nice smile, a happy smile. Kagome smiled back. "My turn, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Me? Have a boyfriend? I don't think so," she said smiling. "There is this one boy that I've known all my life, but I would never go with him." She looked at Inuyasha and he looked back. They had been walking for quite a while now. Kagome pulled out a hat and put it on Inuyasha's head.

"Hey? What are you doing?" he asked.

"There's a convenience store up ahead." She said.

"Oh, ok, whatever…" He walked beside Kagome to the store.

They looked around and picked some snacks and she let Inuyasha pick some, even though he didn't know what any of them were, he just they smelt good. Inuyasha put what he picked on the counter like Kagome told him to do. He spotted Kagome on an aisle looking at brightly colored stuff that smelled very strong of sugar. (A/N: Candy! lol) Kagome looked up at smiled at him, picked up a package, and started to walk towards him, but didn't see the water on the floor. She slipped backwards and shut her eyes, bracing herself for the fall, but it never came. She opened her eyes seeing the hanyou's golden orbs inches from hers. She blushed. He blushed as well. He was on her left side with his right arm around her and holding her shoulder. His left arm wrapped around her like his other arm.

The male cashier asked, "You ok, miss?" Kagome nodded and Inuyasha hoisted her up to a standing position. They just stared at each other for a minute. "Um… are you going to buy this stuff or what?" the cashier asked.

"Oh, um… yeah," Kagome said. She motioned for Inuyasha to follow her. She went to the cashier and paid. "Thanks, bye." They both turned and walked out the door with Kagome leading the way.

"Here," Inuyasha said as he took the bag that contained their snacks from Kagome. She smiled. They walked back to Kagome's house in silence, still a little embarrassed about what happened at the store.

When they got back, Kagome opened the door and shouted, "I'm back! I'm going to hang out in the barn!" and she closed the door and walked down the three steps that leads to the back door of her house, back to Inuyasha. She smiled. "Wanna go to the barn and eat?"

He smirked. "Sure." They walked into the barn and sat down on the red couch. Inuyasha opened the bag and opened a random snack. He looked at the orange stick with red powder. He tossed it in his mouth. A few seconds later… "HOT!" Inuyasha jumped up fanning his mouth. Kagome got him a glass of water. He drank it in one gulp. "What was that!" He asked, practically yelling.

"They're hot Cheetos!" Kagome snapped back. "What did you expect?"

"Well, it's not like I can read!"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot."

"Whatever," Inuyasha looked out one of the barn's windows to see the sun going down.

Kagome saw the sunset and said, "Wow, it's beautiful huh?"

Inuyasha nodded and responded, "Yeah, it is." Then, something hit him like a physical blow. 'Oh no! It's tonight!' But it was too late. The sun had gone down. "Uh… Kagome, I think it's time you leave. Your father will probably worry!" he said frantically trying to push Kagome out the barn doors.

"Wait a second! What's going on?" Kagome locked her feet in place. She stood up and turned around. (A/N: He was pushing her back, and she was facing towards the door) "Inuyasha?" He was gone. "Where are you? Are you playing a trick on me?" It was getting darker, fast. 'Where's that lamp?' Kagome reached around the wall, looking for a hanging lamp. (A/N: The lamps that hang out from a pole in the wall.) Then, a lamp turned on, but she certainly didn't do it. "In…Inuyasha? Is that you?"

"Yeah…" Inuyasha said, standing in the shadows, only his figure showing.

"What are you doing?" She took a step forward. She heard him sigh. He walked out. She gasped. She was staring at a black haired man with violet eyes and two normal ears on the sides of his head, not the top. "You're…you're…"

"Human," he finished for her. "It happens once a month, on the night of the new moon." (A/N: haha, its his 'time of the month' -P)

"Oh, I see…" She said. She walked up to him. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know. I guess I was afraid." He answered.

"Of what?" She wondered.

"You thinking I was strange or something… I don't know…" He looked away.

"You can tell me anything Inuyasha. We're friends, right?" Friends? He had a friend? She actually liked him?

"R…Really? You're… my friend?" He looked back at her.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I be?" She smiled.

"Well, I'm just a hanyou…" he said emphasizing the word 'well'

"Well," she said just as cocky. "I don't really care. How many times do I have to tell you that?"

He smiled. "Thanks."

"For what?" She questioned.

"For caring." He pulled her into a hug. She was shocked, but hugged back. This was so new to her, but… it felt so right.
