Wow, this is the first time I had so many reviews in so little time when I post a new story. I'm so proud of myself. (smiles) Anyway, I'll have the answers to some questions at the bottom of the story, so watch out for it. Thank you and enjoy.

Forbidden
Chapter One

Kagome felt her body jerk as she immediately looked up in alarm. She had drifted off to sleep while waiting for them to arrive at the castle. She looked over to Rin and smiled at her sleeping face. She had already cried herself into a deep sleep. Kagome nudged her sister and set her head on the side of the cart, which was difficult since her wrists and ankles were bound together behind her back. She sighed sadly as she looked over to the looming castle once more. Although it was beautiful from afar, it was a barren wasteland of death up close. A home for youkai.

Demons.

She felt the anger flood in her as she thought of what their Father did. He had just cast them off as if nothing. As if they were vermin that needed to be cast off quickly. She narrowed her eyes. That's what they were to him. And to them, he was a monster. She jumped as she heard something rake together, metal against metal. She winced at the horrible sound as she realized they were at the castle already. She looked up to the large black gates with the fierce stone dogs on either side, perched upon stone.

They had arrived.

She felt her fear rise as they went up to the gate and stopped. Many shadows immediately struck out, surrounding them like prey. Kagome looked over to the still sleeping Rin. She panicked. She couldn't protect her from them. Without her bow and arrows, Kagome could not protect her younger sister. She inched closer to her sister, putting her body in front in a protecting motion. She looked to the men that were guiding them, only to see them bowing to the ground with their foreheads touching the earth, their bodies trembling terribly from fear. She looked up to see what it was they feared.

A demon.

She felt her breath catch in fear. She came closer upon Rin and glared at him. He didn't even acknowledge her as his glare stayed upon the two men bowing before him. Then she heard their shakey voices.

"A-a gift for his L-lordship. A local village asks for p-protect-tion and offers his daughters t-to you." One of the men said. Kagome once again felt her anger rise. She saw the demon glance at them, glancing over them in disgust as if they were insects. She saw his sneer, then his cold voice rung through the air, quiet and blood chilling. She felt her body go stiff as she heard what he said.

"Ningen...do you mock me?"

The men flinched and spluttered out apologies and such. Kagome just wanted to disappear with her sister, get as far away from here as possible. She looked over to Rin, who began crying in her sleep once more. Kagome looked to the demon, only to see that he plainly refused to look at them again.

"Silence."

The men immediately quit their groveling and begging and stared at the demon before them. He closed his eyes for a moment before nodding.

"Take them away."

At that, two demon guards came up to Kagome and Rin, picking them up with ease and hoisting them over their shoulders. Kagome fought and kicked and screamed and bit, but to no prevail. Rin just lolled on their shoulder and groaned when she was set in an uncomfortable position. The demon holding Kagome seemed to be upset, while the one holding Rin was grinning his head off.

His didn't fight him.

That's why he was smiling. Kagome looked to the demon and saw him turn around, back toward the castle. She thought that he was going to let the men go, but apparently not.

"Kill them."

She stared in horror as the remaining demon guards immediately ripped the two men to shreds, their body parts staining the ground. It was then she was glad Rin was asleep. She would have been mentally scarred for life.

He stared out of the window as the demons slaughtered the two human men. He scowled as their scent drifted up to his nose. Disgusting. He watched his brother walk into the castle, and minutes later his door opened. He looked over, his ears twitching once as he looked to the intruder from his perch. Their eyes met, both burning with hatred and fury.

"You didn't have to kill them, you know..." He muttered. The demon sneered as he let a low growl escape him, but it immediately disappeared. He glared at the hanyou with such disgust that it made him flinch from his window.

"They were humans. They were expendable." He said in a monotone voice. They both glared at each other once more before the door closed and the demon left the room. The half-demon muttered angrily under his breath. A few moments later, he watched three demons leave the castle and head down the road he watched the two humans come from. His eyes narrowed.

"Damn..."

They brought him humans...humans! The nerve...he, a great Taiyoukai, needing pleasure from a human whore. Never. He scowled as he thought back to his brother's meaningless words. Didn't have to kill them...they were fools. Ignorant beasts that believed they were above demons. They deserved the deaths they recieved. He walked down the lit hallway, entering a door that held two women. They were the one's he had recieved as tribute. He glared at the woman who seemed oldest, while she glared right back. He inwardly smirked. This one had some fire within her.

He glanced casually over to the one that was crying within her sleep. Yes...she was the one who was sleeping earlier as well. They were both sisters judging by the way those men said 'daughter's'. He sneered. Human wretch's...that village would pay. Already he had sent three demon's to exterminate the village and its people. He looked to the maids that untied the women and held them tight, forcing them down to the ground, cutting off the humans movement, although the sleeping one didn't really react to anything.

"Humans. You will learn your place within my castle. Disobey me and you will be killed. Or unless I find no use for you. Take them away." He said coldly before walking out of the room. The maids forced Kagome out the door, while the other merely picked Rin up and carried her out. They traveled down the hallway, before coming to a worn door. They opened it and Kagome saw stone flooring and walls. There was only two torches in the entire room, and chains on the walls. No window and the only exit being the door.

The maids threw Kagome and Rin to the floor, successfully waking Rin up. They closed the door and locked it, leaving the two maidens in their own little prison. Rin looked around, her chocolate orbs wide in fear and curiosity. Kagome's hazel one's just glanced around. They didn't have a choice anymore on what happened. It was all up to the Lord now. Kagome and Rin jumped as the door opened.

Kagome's mouth dropped a little as she gasped. A young man walked in with little silver ears on his head and white hair to at least his waist. He wore a scowl on his face and his eyes were staring at them with something atoned of pity. Kagome could see the resembalance and figured the man that threw them in here and this one to be brothers.

"Alright. The old ass sent me down here to give a few rules. Rule one, no wandering the hallways ever. Unless given permission by me or the jackass. Two, no talking back, fighting or resisting. It won't work anyway and you'll just get yourself hurt. Three, you do everything told to you. Food and water will be delivered to you unless you disobey the rules. If you are caught doing any of these, you will be punished by me or the bastard. Also, no leaving this room." He said. He looked at the girls again.

"Ever." He added, just in case. Kagome felt her anger rise again. "That's not right!" She yelled. His ears twitched as he glared at her. Stupid girl...

"I'm not the one you should be bringing that up to. It's my brother you need to see, besides, it's not like he'll listen to you humans anyway..." He muttered. Kagome was outraged.

"We have names you know, jerk! It's Kagome, not human or wretch or wench or whatever! Kagome, Ka-go-me! Understand?" She said. Then she pointed to Rin, who immediately backed away, embarrassed by her sisters actions. "And she's Rin! R-I-N!" Kagome said again. Rin just sat there now, wishing that they were back at the village. At least then she had somewhere to go if Kagome embarrassed her like this...

The half-demon snorted before smirking. "Well, Ka-go-me, you can just forget about the food and water tonight." He glanced at Rin. "Hope your little sister ain't too mad at you..." He said before slamming the door shut, the lock going into place. Kagome realized what happened and turned to Rin with a sad look.

"Gomen, Rin...I didn't mean to-" But Rin cut her off with a wave of the hand. She smiled softly at her sister and nodded. Kagome smiled too. She wished that Rin would be able to speak...then she could be heard instead of being overshadowed.

Kagome walked over to Rin and sat down. They huddled together as they silently mourned.

This was their last day of freedom...

Three demons walked through the village that cast them curious glances. What were demons doing in the village? Demon's from the Lord and Prince especially? The landlord walked out to meet them with a wide grin. He thought the Lord had appreciated his daughter's as the tribute.

He was dead wrong.

"By order of my Lord, this village is to be executed for mockery of his Highness and the failure of tribute. Now everyone remain calm and die." The leading demon said before they all lashed out, killing all of the humans in sight, children, women and men. The landlord's eyes widened at the massacre.

He didn't notice the sword that sliced through his neck.

"Damn it! Why do you have to be such a bastard? The village didn't need to be destroyed, you could have just killed the headman, but nooo, you need to kill everyone!" He yelled to his brother. Golden eyes glared at each other, challenging the authority of one another. The demon stood and stared at his younger brother.

"If I allowed them to live after what they did, I would have been shamed by the other Lord's, do you not understand that, Inuyasha?" He asked. The one known as Inuyasha growled before muttering some incoherent words.

"You bastard...that doesn't matter! Who gives a damn what those old assholes think? I never knew you cared what anybody thought of you, Sesshomaru". Inuyasha ground out. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes once more. He vanished before appearing in front of Inuyasha, his hand immediately shooting out and tightening around his brother's throat.

"You would do wise to hold that tongue of yours, little brother." He ground out. Inuyasha growled again before being let go. Sesshomaru turned and glanced out of the window, completely ignoring Inuyasha.

"You are dismissed from my prescence." He said. Inuyasha growled before turning and slamming the door behind him. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes as he saw the smoke from the burning village he had executed.

"Damn half-breed..." He muttered looking at his slanted door.

I hope you liked this chapter. Here's some explanations for the questions some people have asked.

Q: Well, good story, but I don't get the part where Rin spoke before in the story, but you said she lost her voice when she was two. Could you explain that?

A: Rin didn't speak in the story. If you are referring to the section where Rin silently begged her father to stop beating her, she was begging him in her mind.

Q: If Rin has been known for being abused, so has Kagome right? But why's Rin name been changed?

A: Yes, Kagome and Rin have both been abused by their foster father. Rin's name has been changed because of the abuse. In order for Rin to marry, she couldn't have an abusive background. Kagome has gone over the age of being married, so no man would want to marry her...yet, but if it is Mitsu being abused, and not Rin...well then, there's no problem now, is there? (smiles)

Q: Does this mean Rin can't talk?

A: Rin cannot speak as of yet. She will regain it though. Otherwise this is a complete waste.

Q: Will there be a lemon?

A: Yes, there will be a lemon. But there will be a warning in the beginning of the chapter so you can know. There will also be a rape too between...well, can't say that now can I? (smiles)

Note: These are real questions asked by my reviewers. These are not made up.
