I don't own Inuyasha and Co., but I wish I did that would be sooo cool, lol. I also wish I new where my brain went. Sigh oh-well. Thanks Margaret (My best friend) for your help on this chapter.

Loves Slave Chapter Two:
Not Treated Like One:

Inuyasha lazily opened his eyes, smiling at the sight of the girl in his arms. He took a deep breath savoring her sweet scent. Regretfully he tried to pull out of the embrace but found it impossible, not only did he not want to move but it seemed she didn't want him to either for her hold on his dirty haori tightened. So he silently savored her presence.

A few minutes later Inuyasha watched her eyes flutter open. It took her a minute to remember what happened the last time she had awoken but when she did she blushed and gave him a smile. Glancing out her window Kagomes smile disappeared as fast as it had come, it was almost sunset.

"Inuyasha, I'm gonna take a shower." She stated as she stood up and headed to her bathroom.

After getting the water the way she wanted it she undressed and stepped in. She wet her hair before sitting on the floor of the tub letting the water fall around her.

'Tsuki a . . . are you there?' Kagome spoke in her mind.

'Hai, Inochi.' Tsuki replied.

'I...I thought you might be . . . ' Inochi cut herself of not wanting to say anything more. She began to sob silently.

'Oh Inochi.' Tsuki whispered lovingly. 'Inochi you've no need to worry anymore. I've been sold.'

'Thank Kami.' Inochi whispered in despair.

'Inochi what's wrong?' Tsuki asked.

'It's just . . . I . . . never mind it's not important.'

'Inochi.' Tsuki whispered. Voice full of concern.

'Never mind Tsuki. I must go. I'm happy you shall live. Good bye.'
Inochi didn't even give him chance to say good bye before she ended the connection.

Inuyasha sat on Kagomes bed thinking. He had just spoken with Inochi.
'Inochi you never keep things from me. Why start now? What are you hiding? Oh Inochi.' Inuyasha thought sadly.

Kagome sighed and returned to her shower. When she finished, she wrapped herself in a towel and went into her closet that had a door from both the bathroom and bedroom.

She chose a simple Kimono. It was a silk crimson with sleeves that cut off at the elbow in the front but continued to the end of the kimono itself in the back. The Kimono itself ended 2 ½ Inches above the knee. There was a black bow tied in the back around her mid section.

Kagome exited her closet wearing her chosen kimono and her hair cascading down her back.

The breath caught in Inuyashas throat as he witnessed Kagome exit a door next to her bathroom door.
'She's beautiful. No. She's more than just beautiful. Words can't explain her.'
After catching his breath Inuyasha spoke. "M ... Kagome. Mistress Kokoro said dinner was in the refrigerator if you want some."

Kagome nodded. "You hungry?" Inuyasha nodded.

"Ok, come on."
He got off Kag's bed and followed her to the kitchen.
Kagome made two plates, though Inuyasha was reluctant to let her
Inuyasha was going eat at the kitchen counter like most personal slaves but Kagome had even gone as far as to order him to sit at the table. At first the pair ate in silence.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha." Kagome said looking at her hands residing in her lap.

"Huh?"

"I don't like being served, I don't like ordering people around, and most of all I hate humiliating youkai. I'm sorry for ordering you to sit at the table. It's your choice if you want to sit at the table or counter, not mine." Kagome whispered in a sad tone. She sounded like she was ready to cry.

"It's ok." Inuyasha was silent for a minute before deciding to try to lighten the mood. "You know you really shouldn't treat me like this."

"Why?"

"'Cause I might start to believe you." Inuyasha said with a light laugh. Hearing Kagome giggle brought a smile to his lips.

"So will you tell me of yourself now?" Kagome asked.

"Uh, well I'd rather not. Not right now, not yet." Inuyasha said thinking of Inochi.

"Ok. Will you when you're ready?" Kagome asked hopefully. Upon Inuyashas nod Kagome fell silent and continued to eat as did Inuyasha.

'Why do I get the feeling I've known Kag my whole life? Why do I feel like this around her. I'm not supposed to, I love Inochi. Don't I? Kami what in seven hells is going on?' Inuyasha thought as he ate. Little did he know Kagomes thoughts were fairly similar to his.

Once finished with their meal they headed to Kagomes room. Kagome grabbed some of her dads old clothes and gave them to Inuyasha sending him to bathe.

Inuyasha exited the bathroom wearing a pair of black kimono pants but no haori. The haori Kagome had given him was too small.

Kagome turned to him as she herd him exit the bathroom. Her heart stopped and her face flushed at the sight of his lean stomach and well sculpted muscles. His silvery-white hair clung to him framing his face and his amber eyes held embarrassment though he didn't blush or look away. It was as if he was trying to hold back from doing something.
Her eyes locked with his and her heart sped up so fast it felt like it would jump out of her chest.
"Uh. The haori you gave me was too small." Inuyasha said trying to hide his smirk at her blush and the sound of her speeding heart. Kagome nodded before forcing herself to look away from his gaze. She preceded to make Inuyasha a place to sleep. She laid a sleeping mat along with pillows and blankets next to her bed.
"Tomorrow I'll go shopping and get you a bed so you can have your own room if you want, and I'll get you some clothes but I'll need your measurements." Kagome said as she got ready to attempt to sleep. Inuyasha sat on his sleeping mat and silently watched Kagome.
After a few minutes Kagome laid down as did Inuyasha, both attempting to get some sleep.
