A Slave's Forbidden Hate and Love

Disclaimer: I am Aeta Aella. Not Rumiko Takahashi. I do not own Inuyasha.

The carriage arrived at the castle. Kagome gulped as she continued staring at the floor of the carriage, unsure of what to do. Miroku solved that problem, pushing her shoulder with his staff. "Get out." He said shortly. She scrambled out, her hand plastered to her sides and her face angled to the ground. He got out after her, pulling her buy her leash a few feet.

She saw feet. The first thing she noticed, which surprised her, was that they were bare. Only the most poor had no shoes. No one that poor would be in the castle, other then her would they? The feet were clawed, an unmistakable sign of either being a hanyou or a youkai.

"My Lord, here is the girl I was told to fetch for you." Miroku said, bowing to his friend and superior. He tugged on the leash and Kagome gave an inelegant and ill-done curtsy. Her eyes never left the ground and Inuyasha's feet.

"Keh." Inuyasha shrugged, still angry. He sneered and held out his hand for the leash. Miroku handed it to him gravely. "You can go now, I'll take this to my room." He said in an angry voice.

Kagome shivered lightly in fear. This man sounded angry and like he would be violent. If she was to stay in his rooms that must mean that she was going to be his concubine. That terrified her. While she had been used by many men, she did not want this man doing it. He sounded like he would be a violent bedmate. And something else. She didn't want him to think of her like that. Why, she didn't know.

Inuyasha jerked on the leash, jerking her to her present situation. "What's your name?" he asked with a growl and he stalked back into the castle. She hurried to keep the chain from going slack.

"I am Kagome, if it pleases you." She said in a quiet voice. She was terrified of what was going to happen. This was all her sister's fault. She had done this.

"You smell disgusting, wench." He said idly, like it meant nothing. Shocked into forgetting herself, she glanced up at him in anger, her mouth open and about to say something that she surely would have regretted.

What she saw stopped her in her tracks. He was gorgeous, his golden, wild eyes furious, his scowl entrancing and his perfect nose scrunched up in disgust at the scents of so many men on her. He looked beautiful to her.

He scowled deeper, slapping her. "How dare you look at me without permission." He growled, tugging her hard. "You will be punished. Keep moving." His voice was coldly angry.

Kagome closed her eyes, her face turned downwards as she hurried after him. How could she be so stupid? Terror filled her, what was he going to do? Kami, how bad would this be?

Elsewhere

Miroku entered his office, wiping his brow of sweat. Poor girl, he felt sorry for her. Inu No Taisho had been specific though, he wanted her as his son's concubine. Inuyasha would not take kindly to this and he was sure to take it out on the girl. He could only hope that he would not be too harsh.

"I need some sake." He muttered. He looked around his office. "RIN!" he yelled for his secretary.

"Yes, Miroku, sir?" she inquired, hurrying into his presence, curtsying. "What do you wish of me?"

"Is there anything I need to do tonight?" he inquired of the thirteen year old girl in the orange kimono. Her green obi was a bit askew, and she fixed that as she replied.

"No, sir." She said her almost black brown eyes innocent as she looked at him. "Would you like to go to the Unaru Teahouse again? The geisha you seem to-"

He cut her off. "Yes, I will be there Rin. Tell anyone who asks for me to go there." He said, turning and leaving as she curtsied to him. She watched him leave, an amused smile on her face.

A few minutes later

Miroku entered the Unaru teahouse, nodding to the mistress of it, Kaede-sama. She smiled at him, nodding to a room. He smiled, heading for that room. Oh, thank Kami. She was there. The apprentice geisha. The maiko. Sango.

Her almond eyes glittered as she laughed at a joke made by someone. Her onee-san, Kagura watched her, laughing as well. Kagura was nice, but Sango, Sango was perfection in a maiko's form and dress.

The white make-up did not suit her; it seemed a cocoon that she would shed once she became a full geisha. Her split-peach hairstyle was the same as other maiko, yet different. There was a ruby red comb in her hair with emeralds encrusted in it. His heart glowed, that had been a present from him.

She saw him, and her eyes lit up and she became happier it seemed. "Houshi-sama!" she greeted him. "How wonderful to see you again, Konichiwa!"

He grinned, kneeling besides her. She poured him a cup of sake. He grinned even wider at that slight bit of wrist showing. Her red and green kimono, obviously chosen to match the comb was stunning on her. "You look lovely." He told her.

"As do you, Houshi-sama." She said with a smile.

"I have something to talk to your older sister about later." He told her suddenly, and her eyes were confused, yet she nodded.
