Chapter 3: Belligerent to the End?

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Inuyasha mocked, feeling smug for first time in four days. She looked like she will explode any second now. Served the wench right.

"I wouldn't have thought of it until I heard about your little scheme." Inuyasha laughed and turned his back on her, ignoring Kagome purposely just to tick her off even more. "There's no way out the window, I have my own private bath through those doors and" Inuyasha pulled out a uniquely golden key from this desk and twirled it round his finger. "You can't leave this room without the key." He smirked and shoved the key in his front left pocket. Inuyasha had designed his steel door to lock from both sides for precaution. This would be the first time he was using it to lock from the inside and he's glad it's finally put to use.

Kagome was panicking. He couldn't be serious! She hasn't even kissed a guy yet, not to mention…there is only ONE bed! "I refuse to share the same bed with you!" She yelled, even to her, her voice sounded frantic. The vampire lord just snort. "Who said you're sleeping with me? You're sleeping on the couch." He didn't know why, but he was immensely happy. If she was going to drive him crazy, he might as well do the same to her. "You're going to be eating meals with me from now on and when I'm gone, I'm locking you inside." He really felt like his headache was going away too. "My private study room is next door so it's more convenient for me too."

He'd been so busy lately that he didn't have time to talk to her. He would definitely get her to understand what was happening, at least as much as he knew. Hopefully Miroku and Sango will bring back information from the White Class. After Kikyou's disappearance, the only thing anyone knew was that Naraku wasn't able to get what he wanted from her. Five years after Kikyou's disappearance the fear dwindled away. Even to this day, no one could figure out what happened a hundred years ago.

But now there's Kagome. If he could find out what happened, he might find Kikyou. Kagome's very existence was a mystery. Kikyou was an immortal and immortals couldn't be reincarnated…or did this have something to do with Naraku? Does that mean Naraku killed her and his search for her was in vain? No, it wasn't possible. Naraku loved Kikyou. She must be still alive and he will find her. Now there was a clue.

Inuyasha was snapped out of his thoughts due to an ominous feeling. "Don't you dare throw something at me," Even with his back turned to her for one minute, he knew she was going to get on his nerves again. "or I'm going to tie you up." He really meant it and they both knew it.

She had to keep her temper. If she ended up being tied there was no way she could escape. She just needed to think things through and stay calm, but it was driving her insane!!! No, she could make this work. She could get a lot of information about Night Society and maybe…the one that killed her father. He said his private study room was just next door too! If she could somehow get into there…she had to!

And if she couldn't take it anymore, she would find a way to be put in a different room. He already found her annoying; it wasn't going to be hard to make him want to kill her too. She needed sometime to think. But he's smart and would find out what she was thinking. Blocking her thoughts was hard enough. Just a few minutes, she had to get rid of him for just a few minutes… "I-I need sleeping clothes." Kagome demanded. She couldn't possibly sleep in this stiff maid uniform. It was a great excuse. He would have to leave to call someone to get it for her. She could at least analyze the layout of her new room.

Inuyasha walked into the bathroom as if he didn't hear her. After changing out of his shirt, he walked out and threw a new pair of his own night shirt at her. It was long, extending down to her knees.

Drat the man.

And did he have to sleep without a shirt? Of course vampires usually don't like to wear much, but to blend in now a day, they had to. She has seen plenty of half naked men before, but STILL… he is somewhat…handsome…

She wanted to strangle herself for thinking that.

"Here." Inuyasha pulled the blanket from his bed and threw it on the coach. "It's not like I need it anyways. Go to sleep now, I'm exhausted." Without a reply, he turned off the lights and went to sleep. She didn't say thank you and he didn't expect her to.

He did kidnap her and is forcing her to sleep on the coach.

She will complain about the cold and he didn't want to hear it.

---……..----

He had been out since five this morning and barely getting home at eleven, he ended up having to deal with Kagome again. He really was exhausted and right after getting into bed, he fell asleep. She wouldn't try anything stupid. If she had the intent to kill him, he would sense it. He wasn't a demon lord for nothing.

He was asleep. For sure, he was definitely asleep. For the past few days, he had been awake almost twenty-four seven and even vampires needed rest. Of course, she made it worse for him when he got home.

If he was going to get a good nights rest tonight, he senses would be better than ever later. Tonight. She had to get into his study room tonight. She won't be able to escape, she knew that much. Even if it was just for an hour, she needed to get into that room and find out what she could.

Lord help her.

She needed that key…

---……..----

Is someone trying to kill me…? No, not menacing…but…

…this feeling…it's

In an instant, the haze of sleep enveloping his conscious evaporated and he grabbed the intruder by the wrist. Even though he couldn't see her clearly unlike a normal mortal, the moonlight descending from his window filled his room and what he saw was apparent enough. "Pfeff…" It was so hard for him to not laugh, REALLY HARD, and soon he was laughing out loud. Of course he didn't sense anything threatening. Looking at the scarlet faced Kagome next to his side, again he was able to enjoy such a contradicting demeanor compared to her rebellious character. Her hand was starting to quiver and then he finally noticed where it was still located. He quickly let go of her wrist and she pulled her hand out of his left front pocket.

She really tried it!

She wanted to die. She had never been so embarrassed in her life. After staring at him sleep for over two hours, it took her another two hours to get the nerve to do it. It was his front left pocket! She was hoping against all hopes on this gamble but in the end, the key wasn't even there!

"W-Where is it?" Even if she was embarrassed, she wanted to know. And although she faced him, she avoided looking directly at his eyes…and his body.

"I did put it in my left front pocket, but knowing you, that small detail was instantly stored in your head for later. When I changed in the bathroom, I switched it to my right." With that, he pulled out the key. Again, he smiled smugly that night.

Before she could rush off the bed, he grabbed onto her arm. He was curious about something. The way her mind worked was interesting to say the least.

"Why did you want the key? There was no way for you to escape again tonight. Even if you did somehow manage to get the key, I change the guards' patrolling routine. You shouldn't have known where they would be and I made sure they check everyone leaving the mansion from now on."

"…"

"Your study room." Kagome gave him a straight answer. There was no use in hiding it. If he tried hard enough to read her mind, she would slip at least once and revealed it anyways. "I wanted to see your study room." She said again, this time she felt her old strength coming back into her voice. It was better to give an honest answer. This way, he wouldn't ask anymore questions and find out everything about her past.

"That's it?" He was confused but he knew she wasn't lying. Why the study room? He would have asked but she didn't look like she would answer at the moment. Kneeling on his bed wearing his night shirt, she looked like she was going from embarrassed and shy to furious and offended. He released her again and she scrambled off the bed.

Rolling onto his side, he looked away from her. He really didn't need this right now. Intentionally or not, she was still tormenting him. "Tomorrow. We'll eat lunch there tomorrow." With that, he tried to block her out of his mind and drifted back to sleep.

----Fifth day----

Classics, literature, medical, astronomy, history…there were so many books and NOT A THING ABOUT NIGHT SOCIETY! No wonder.

Since she slept so late last night, she didn't wake up until twelve in the afternoon. He on the other hand had left early in the morning like usual. With the clicking of the lock on the door, she heard him leave even though his movements were quick and soundless. After finding new plain clothes on the bed, she dressed and searched the entire room. She found almost nothing of use to her at all, at least currently. Giving up, she sat staring outside the window only to find the white haired vampire entering the mansion. Within half an hour, the door clicked open.

They were currently eating lunch. At least she was. He was working on stacks of paperwork that didn't really make sense to her and once in a while ate a little. Everything was business, structure of buildings, stocks, contracts and such. He had barely taken a bite before he became engrossed in another set of paperwork.

Since early this morning, he had already gotten all of the important work done. He wasn't going to bring that stuff any where near Kagome. Who knows what she will do with the information it held about Night Society and himself. Right now, he was doing trivial work his secretary usually outlines for him. Inuyasha just needed something to keep him busy. Kagome was getting on his nerves in more ways than one. Having seen her in such a state last night, he was getting more irritable than ever.

Although he was diligently working, he couldn't help but notice what she was doing. After looking through some books, she looked bored? no, more disappointed than anything else, then suddenly rushed over to look at his crystal chess set. She looked genuinely happy. It was the first time she'd look like that since been taken here he thought.

Kagome ran over to the other side when something caught her eye. It was so beautiful. The design, the cut and the clarity of the crystal was breathtaking… and it gave her an idea.

"The set looks dusty. Why do you have such a beautiful set even though you don't use it? Such a waste." Kagome gloated, placing the set over his papers so he couldn't ignore her.

Inuyasha just grumbled and pushed the set aside. "I don't have time to play." He was trying his damnedest to ignore her taunting. "Humnfp" Kagome stuck her nose in the air. "Rich people really are pretentious…" She bent over the desk again to pick up the chess set while purposely whispering, "sheeh, buying tons of books for show…probably doesn't even…"

twitch "I'm actually pretty decent at chess." He defended. "Oh," Kagome smiled brightly. "It's good to be decent at chess too." "Why you-" He started, then realized he fell completely into her pace. "Let's play a game and make a wager" Kagome suggested quickly, trying to hold onto the competitive atmosphere she created. With his arrogant and smarter-than-thou attitude, she knew he was bound to bate him, if only for a second.

"If I win-" "I won't let you go." "Then-" "You can't have your own room." "What if-" "Don't even think about it." Nothing? If nothing changes, she can't find a way to escape. Is her option only give up now? Kagome felt desperate. She didn't like the feeling of being forced to give up and it showed in her face. She felt like she was on the verge of crying and shouting at the same time.

"How about the bed?" He didn't know why he suggested it, but it came out before he knew it. "W-What…?" "If you win, you could have the bed to yourself." It wasn't much, but he didn't know what else to do. She doesn't know how important she was to him. Her existence and the fact that Naraku is after her are the only clues he has left to discerning where Kikyou was hidden. And Kikyou was hidden. She wasn't dead…

"But if I win, you have to do me a favor. And don't worry, it won't be something out of your capabilities." Although she had suggested the wager for her own means, it could be beneficial to him as well. And technically, she was capable of a lot although he wasn't going to tell her that. Kagome reluctantly agreed. It was a gamble on her part and she could lose, but it meant she had the option of not giving up. She couldn't measure his skills but she believed in her own. Living as a shrine maiden at the edge of the city, frequent visitors consisted of mostly elders. As she grew up, those people taught her and played chess with her almost everyday.

…….

Ten minutes in the game and she thought she had it made. One hour into the game and they were at a stand still. Thirty minutes after that and she was completely defeated.Kagome was stunned by his strategies. He was so serious, a side she hasn't seen before.

"Haha, that was one of the best games of my life." The vampire mocked, although it was a complement as well. She was extremely clever and skillful. From the very beginning, he had found out that she was an aggressive player. Although always on the offense and willing to risk a few pawns, she had back up plans for defensive plays as well. She played chess exactly how she acts in real life.

"You owe me one." Inuyasha smirked childishly, a smile that she unexpectedly found…nice.

Before he could gloat any more, a maid knocked on the door. "My lord, you haven't eaten since this morning, would like to have a meal now? Should I call your Victus for you?" "I'll see Haru before I leave tonight."

…….

She was locked up in their room again. After the game, she was escorted back to the room and he left to see Haru-chan…

---flashback---

"You haven't eaten since this morning..." "I'll see Haru before I leave..."

------………--------

Kagome blushed. She had forgotten he was a vampire since she never ate lunch with a vampire before. She didn't notice he was eating, well… not blood. 'Did that mean he was just there to eat with me?'blush

Kagome rolled over to her stomach on the bed and buried her face into the pillows. sigh He left along time ago to see Haru-chan…and still isn't back yet.

As the night drifted, she fell asleep with her train of thought.

……..Day 6………..

'It's so noisy.' Kagome woke up to shouting in the mansion early in the morning. As she listened against the door, she could hear people running and orders, although muffled, being directed. Kagome looked at the time, eleven o'clock. He hadn't come back since last night…

With the pounding of feet and voices drawing closer to her, Kagome rushed away from the door which immediately opened. People rushed it that she has never seen before. One of them was the vampire lord, and he was severely wounded.

Two women, who seemed like witches, ordered the guards to help their lord onto the bed. They recheck Inuyasha's binding and cast and set extra ointment and medicine on the stand. Then they all turned to her.

"We can't leave her here with the master." "Maybe we should lock her up in the cell?" "I think it should be another room." "What if she escapes again, I don't think I could handle that-"

"Its fine, leave her." Inuyasha grimaced. Speaking with broken ribs and punctured lungs was difficult. Damn those Black Class witches for smearing poison on those silver tipped weapons. His subordinates protested at once. "Have Hojo and Kai guard the front door then. Don't worry, just leave. I need some rest." They wanted to object again but found it futile. Before they left, they glared venomously at Kagome. 'Ack, did they forget that I'm the victim of a kidnapping here…?'

"Girl, you owe me one right?" He didn't think he would have to use it so soon. He couldn't feed properly since he had been punched through the chest. It wasn't healing properly either because of the damn witches too. He wanted it to be a hell a lot more amusing. It must be the loss of blood or something because he couldn't remember what her embarrassed and frustrated face looked like…

"Take care of me till I'm better."

I guess I wrote too much again…so NEXT chapter is where San/Mir comes back…lol.

(lots will be explained about Night Society so please bear with me…)

Chapter 4: Witch Massacre

Kagome is bounded by her words and is stuck nursing the wounded vampire lord back to health. But how will he get better faster if he's running a fever due to the poison and doesn't feed. Haru-chan, beautiful and graceful, enters and despises Kagome on sight. Offering her lord's daily meal as his sole Victus, Haru is also a highly acclaimed White Class witch. Brushing Kagome to the side, Haru takes on her role as his caretaker. So why is she so mad? Cause NOBODY bosses and pushes Kagome around without a fight. Later, Sango and Miroku finally return only to interrupt a very interesting scene. Plus, they have brought back something completely unexpected. Kikyou's disappearance a hundred years ago is some how connected to the massacre of over hundreds of White Class witches fifty years before Naraku kidnapped her.

Please stay tuned as thinks finally unfold and the real plot picks up! Please review and take my poll as well.
