Chapter Twelve:
"So, Sango, what do you want to do today?" Kagome smiled cheerfully as they both walked out of the room. "Actually, I hoped me and Miroku could spend the day alone... You didn't plan anything did you? I mean, if you did I will still come, me and Miroku can get some alone time later." Sango put her hands up in defense, and giggled nervously.
"No, we didn't have anything planned." Inuyasha walked up to the two, with Miroku following behind him. "If you and Miroku want to go off and-"
"INUYASHA!!" Kagome took him by the hand and pulled him into a guest room. "I hope you weren't going to say what I think you were going to say!" Kagome kicked the door shut so the whole mansion wouldn't have to listen to them fight. "Of course I was! It's the truth!" Inuyasha defiantly sat down in the corner chair. Since Kagome still had his hand she went with him, and ended up sitting on his lap. (not noticing). "I dont care! It's rude! Now, come on. We'll find something to do today ok?" They both walked out of the room hands still attached.
"So Kagome, you've accepted his offer, yes?" Asune walked out to the hall with her usual bright and cheery smile. Kagome on the other hand turned red from head to toe and quickly dropped Inuyasha's hand. "I guess that's a no." Asune giggled quietly and started to walk away but half way down the hall she paused. "Lord Kouga will be staying here tomorrow night and returning in the morning. You four will show him around, yes? Before I forget, Miroku, Sango I've had the servants move your things to the room beside Kagome's and Inuyasha your room is on the otherside of theirs. I thought you guys might want to be in the same wing! Well, I must be going! Have fun today!"
"I hate that guy." Inuyasha grumbled below his breath. "All right, come on Kagome, I guess I'll give you that tour of the castle." Kagome jumped excitedly, she had been bugging him for a tour since she got there.

"Thanks Inuyasha, I never knew the castle was the huge!" Kagome sat down at the kitchen table. It was almost dark outside and she was getting hungry. Not too soon after the servants brought out some food. Kagome took some chicken, noodles, and a couple of egg rolls. A little servant girl stepped forward and cleared her throat to announce she had a message. "Awl, your so cute! You know what, I'd bet you would like some pony tails, yea?" The little girl smiled, and Inuyasha scowled at her.
"No ma'am that's not my place, I'm only here to announce that Sir Miroku and Lady Sango will not be joining you for dinner." Kagome sent a fierce look at Inuyasha. "No, no it's ok. I insist on it. Come on lets go." Kagome held out her hand and the little girl looked from her to Inuyasha. "Don't mind him." She smiled graciously and took her hand.
Inuyasha mumbled something under his breath and went back to eating his noodles, why should he care? She only took a servant out of her place! He did often want to do something nice for them... He would always leave a plate of untouched food on the table. The servants always got some of the left overs. It was his way of helping them. He remembered one time:
Flashback
Inuyasha had just finished his soup when a little girl came into the dining room and started to clear the table. She was about his age, long dark brown hair and her eyes were the same way, dark. She smiled sweetly at him and asked him if he was finished. He nodded yes stupidly. She was very beautiful.
"I'm Inuyasha, what's your name?" She looked up at him suprised that he was talking to her. She just stared at him, eye to eye not bothering to answer. She cleared the rest of the dishes and began to walk away. "Wait! You never told me your name." He followed her to the kitchens where he watched her clean the dishes.
"My work is done, Inuyasha. If you want, we can talk." She cleaned her hands and turned around to face him. "Give me a minute to change, Asune gave me a new dress." She walked down the hall and into a side room, he waited for about 5 minutes and she came out looking, if possible, more beautiful."You wanna go for a walk? There is this really pretty tree in the forest." The girl nodded to him and they began to walk outside. "So what's your name?"
"Kikyo."
"Why are you a servant?"
"My mother, needed a job. My father was a guard. We used to live in the castle, he died at war with the wolves. Asune told us we could stay in the castle, my mother had to take up her job again. She gave me the choice, I could've went to live with my aunt, but I refused. Lorin found out about us and now my mother job, is permanent.... He wont let us leave.." She wiped a tear from her face and stared down at her feet.
"Lorin? The Guard General?" Inuyasha balled his fists, he never did like Lorin, he was always pushy and beat him because he was half-breed. "Kikyo, I know this sounds crazy, but I want to help. I want to get you out of here."
The next couple of weeks, Kikyo and Inuyasha met up and planned an escape. Inuyasha set a plan and a path they would follow. While he distracted Lorin. He knew that he would be physically hurt, but it didn't matter. Kikyo was his number one priotority.
It was finally time, Inuyasha walked into the study where Lorin sat in the chair. He was reading a book and taking numerous notes. It was about time for him to go on his servant check. Sometimes he would just make sure everyone was there, other times he would rape some of the women. Neither Asune. or Lord Inu knew of his actions.
Inuyasha took numerous beatings, yelling profanity's at Lorin. Keeping him busy while Kikyo and her mother escaped. Inuyasha heard a very loud noise and a tight pain ran up his arm, he was sure it was broken. He wanted to fight back, he want to inflict harm on Lorin but he was just not strong enough and now he was damaged he pray someone would find him. His eyes were drifting closed and the last thing he saw was a streak of white. One thought ran through his mind. 'Sesshomaru?'
End Flashback
Kikyo and her Mother made it out, they kept in touch. For a couple of years. The last letter he got Kikyo said she was married with one on the way. He missed her, she was his first friend. And since then he has only had three other friends. Miroku, Sango, and Kagome.
Inuyasha was jerked from his world of thought when the little girl that Kagome was with came running into the room screaming. "HE TOOK HER!! HE TOOK KAGOME!! YOU HAVE TO HELP HER!"
Hey, I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks or so... I know I haven't been updating lately and I'm sorry but I promise to catch up on some ok??
"So, Sango, what do you want to do today?" Kagome smiled cheerfully as they both walked out of the room. "Actually, I hoped me and Miroku could spend the day alone... You didn't plan anything did you? I mean, if you did I will still come, me and Miroku can get some alone time later." Sango put her hands up in defense, and giggled nervously.
