Hey people! It's the seventh chappie! Oh yea –dances around- sry. It's short, but opens the door to the many things I have planned. Kikyo will be in this story a lil, along with my own character. Don't worry, it's only for a couple chapters. I know people don't like authors making up their own people. This is a very small part to what I'm planning. There is going to be a sequel, I know that already.

Disclaimer- -stands in front of a dungeon door. You hear a muffled curse and yelling behind it- I do own inuyasha! Now I will take over the world! –door breaks down-

Inu- what did you say, wench?

Me- uhh… OK I don't own you or any related characters. Can I own Sesshomaru, though? –holds out papers that determine the ownership of the taiyoukai. Inuyasha signs them-

yea!

Ch7 Some Freedom

Kagome woke to the pitter patter of rain falling on leaves. Blinking away the drowziness, she glanced around her in confusion. 'Oh, it's still not a dream.' Her eyes scaned the sleeping taiyoukai. Or he appeared to be sleeping at least. Kagome sighed and looked away. Sometime during the night, a thunder storm came and Sesshomaru managed to find cover for them without waking her.

Kagome looked down at her stomach, still flat, but would round in the promise of new life. 'I was raped and I'm expecting this demon's baby. Oh, what did I do so wrong to deserve this?' The young miko bit her lip and tears welled in her eyes. 'And Inuyasha, he was stabbed by tokijin. What did he do other than slap me? I mean, he was wrong to do it, but to be almost killed isn't a proper way to pay for it.'

"Girl. Just lay back down and sleep." Kagome jumped when the voice of the taiyoukai filled the small shelter. She turned her head back Sesshomaru and looked thoughtful.

"I can't sleep. My head is too full and I need to think," she said to the demon.

"That's not what a woman is for. Thinking just causes trouble when done by a female." His eyes shifted to the opening of where they were. Kagome saw something flicker in his eyes, but that's all it was. A flicker.

"Where I come from, girls are known for their knowledge and ideas. Both genders are treated equally and-"

"Silence. You do not live there anymore, where ever you lived before now. You will live by either my laws and the ways of a demon from now on. Women are known here as to be troublesome and ignorant. They are not even allowed to learn how to read or write."

The young girl gasped in outrage. "That's not fair! You have not right to tell me if I can think or not. And I do know how to do both since I've been schooled for nine years. So don't think you can manipulate me, Sesshomaru-"

"I SAID SILENCE, BITCH!" Fire burned in his usually cold bored eyes as they focused on his mate. She was startled by his harsh yell and fell back, banging her head on the ground hard. She cried out in pain as her hands came up and held the back of her head. She curled up in a defensive ball, eyes shut tight and knees pulled up to her chest. He looked down at her, stood up and picked her off the dirt covered ground.

"Leave me alone! I just want to go home." Tears fell down her face and the youkai growled.

"It's dawn and I wish to reach my home by midday." He tucked her body to his and sprinted out of the shelter, which appeared to be an up rooted tree still connected to the forrest floor. They continued their way to the Western Territories.

"Inuyasha, ye shouldn't be walking yet. Kagome is now Sesshomaru's mate and it is none of yer business what happens between them." The hanyou looked at the old woman in shock.

"What are you talking about? Kagome doesn't want to be with that bastard. She was raped and forced into the mating, it's not right."

Kaede sighed deeply. "Aye that is true, but I fear if you interfere anymore than you have, Sesshomaru will kill you and might harm Kagome also if she tries to come to your aid. You've already said he hit her for wanting to help you. It's best if you just let it go, Inuyasha. Sesshomaru thinks that he is Kagome's master and expects her to obey him. She will not if she thinks she will be rescued."

"Enough, you old hag. Kagome knows that I will get her back no matter what. Just stay out of it. We will have her back and everything will be back to normal." Sango and Miroku were sitting in the corner, whispering quietly to eachother.

"He's in denial. Even if we get Kagome back, she will be different. Sesshomaru raped her and demons will stop at nothing to keep their mates," Sango said to the monk.

"We can only hope. Inuyasha's brother is an enemy of ours and I doubt he will give up Lady Kagome without a fight. What I don't get is why Sesshomaru mated her in the first place. He's always thought humans were digusting and low. How could his opinion change so quickly?"

Sango shrugged. The monk smiled his smile (you know what I'm talking about) and reached down, his hand hovering above her buttocks. "Whispering into a man's ear will trigger sweet thoughts, my lady Sango." A second later the sound of a palm whacking a cheek bounced off the hut's walls. Shippo woke, looked at Miroku's swollen red face, smiled and fell to sleep yet again.

"What's that up ahead?" Kagome asked Sesshomaru. He looked into the horizon and took a breath.

"It's my castle. The flags are down and guards will be everywhere. They always are when I am gone. It must be watched over constantly and no one is allowed in or out unless I am there to approve. Which means you have little chance of escaping with my heir." He felt the girl stiffen against him.

"Damn you, you stupid dog! Will I ever have my own life? Or will I be prisoner?" Her brown eyes were staring hard at the inuyoukai. 'How dare he keep me locked up in a castle.'

"No, you will be free to roam the castle where ever you wish within reason. If I tell you not to go somewhere, I expect you to obey. If you do not your freedom will be with held." His eyes never strayed from the approaching fortress.

Kagome sighed and turned to look at the direction of where he expected her to live with him. "Some freedom."
