Chapter 3

'Dog?' He was going to train her like a dog? He was the dog! Kagome's mind went on overdrive. Adrenaline rushed through her system as she panicked. "NO!" Kagome cried as she struggled to get her arm free. Sesshomaru looked down at the struggling female in his grasp. 'Hn, so is this the amount of her strength? Pathetic.' He thought as he tugged on her arm to bring her closer to him.

A smirk came across his face. "Wench, cease your struggles and I will give you a girly collar to wear." He enlightened her. Kagome stared doe eyed up at him, completely shocked. He was serious about training her like a dog! "I'm not some dog where you can put a leash on! I'm a human being!" Kagome defended herself. Sesshomaru sneered back at her still dragging her lagging form behind. "Bitch, calling you a dog would be too good for you. Now as for being a human, that is suitable." Sesshomaru told her, for in his eyes being a dog is 100X better than being a human.

Kagome stood still. Did Sesshomaru just compliment and insult her at the same time! For sure it was better to be human then some lowly dog! Then it hit her like a ton of bricks. She totally forgot that Sesshomaru was a full fledge DOG demon. That stuck up bastard insulted her!

"Sesshomaru! LET. ME. GO!" Kagome cried as she continued her struggles to free herself. If anything Kagome was more worried about her soon to be lessons then Sesshomaru himself. "Wench you WILL learn to respect those who deserve it!" Sesshomaru seethed as his hold on her tightened nearly cutting off her circulation. "Ouch…you're going to cut off my arm! Let go! Please!" Kagome tried to be polite, since that was he intended to teach her was respect and manners.

Sesshomaru let a smirk form on his perfect face. "Hn, seems fitting doesn't. After all, if it weren't for you Inuyasha wouldn't have the inspiration to have cut off my arm. It seems just able that I do the same to you." Kagome let her mouth hang open. "Hey! That fight was between Inuyasha and you-" "-And you miko as well. In case your puny mind can't remember, you are the reason why the sword is freed. You're the reason why Inuyasha is free, and why he is determined to keep you safe at any cost." Sesshomaru cut her off.

Once again Kagome stopped walking. Sesshomaru would have sighed at this, but since he was Sesshomaru, Lord of the West, he would do no such thing. Instead he turned towards the girl quickly, picked her up, and threw her over his shoulder. He could hear her hiss out in pain as her side scrapped against his spiky armor. Serves her right for talking and fighting back.

Kagome clutched onto her, now bleeding, side. Sesshomaru ran down the rest of the stairs and lit a torch in the dungeon. It was just enough light for Kagome to see. What she saw made her cringe. There was a table on one side of the room, and then there were four different cells. On the other side of the dungeon were chains on the wall, no doubt to hold a person in place. Near the table, no more than six feet away was a small bowl of water. Next to the bowl was a steak, which was connected to a leash.

Sesshomaru set the girl on the ground near the table. "Stay put if you wish to lessen your lesson Bitch." He warned her, and then he walked away to a different part of the dungeon. Kagome could no longer see him, but she heard him shifting things about, so she knew better then to run for it.

Sesshomaru came back, and was kneeling in front of Kagome in less than a second. Everything happened so quickly for Kagome. Sesshomaru reached around her neck, and brushed her hair to the side. She heard something click in place, and then watched as Sesshomaru attached the leash to herself. It then dawned upon her. He put collar on her!

Before she could reach up and take the collar off Sesshomaru and her hands bound behind her back. "The collar and leash stay on Bitch. Now, as you were listing before, Inuyasha and I are so alike. I will show you each way how we are very much different!" Sesshomaru spoke as he walked around Kagome in a circle, taking in her frightened form.

Sesshomaru raised his hand and Kagome flinched waiting for the first hit to land on her, but after a few moments, and it never came, she deemed it safe to look up. Bad mistake on her part. Sesshomaru's hand came crashing down on her upturned face. Kagome held her face, which was hit with a punch to the cheek.

"I am unpredictable make sure to remember that little miko." Seshomaru spoke. "From now on you are to call me your lord, nothing else, not even my name included with its title for it it's above you." Sesshomaru ordered his dominance over her making him smirk.

Kagome shook her head. She would NEVER demean herself like that. "I belong to no one; therefore no one is my lord!" Kagome's confident voice rang out throughout the dungeons. Sesshomaru reached down and pulled Kagome's hair so she was forced to look up at him.

She winced at the pain he caused her, but she refused to let him see the pain in her eyes. "Bitch I am your Lord in this castle! You will learn that before you are free of this dungeon." Sesshomaru made a promise to her and himself. He would not let her out till she begged him to stop and called him her lord.

"You made me come here! You may be lord here, but it is not my home!" Kagome yelled at him, getting sick of his arrogant attitude. Sesshomaru glared at her, and before she knew it, Kagome was fully on the ground with a stinging cheek. Sesshomaru had slapped her that time, but using very little demon force. Which for her hurt worse! Kagome raised a hand to her sore cheek.

"It's your choice miko, accept me as your lord, or learn to accept it the hard way." Sesshomaru told her. "I'd rather die than declare you as my lord!" Kagome snapped in anger. Sesshomaru gave her his cold and die glare before hitting her with his light whip. Kagome screamed out in utter pain at the feeling.

The entire castle could hear her screams, and none felt sorry for her. Why? Because she was a worthless human who needed to learn. Rin heard her screams, so she went out into the garden to get away from it all. She liked Kagome, but her lord was making Kagome not feel welcome at all.

Kagome was breathing hard, and having troubles keeping her will up. Sesshomaru noticed this, but he did not stop his 'lesson'. He didn't even give her a break. He wanted her to learn, and he would teach the Bitch. He finally stopped as he noticed her coughing up blood, and muttered something incoherent.

"What did you say miko?" Sesshomaru questioned the panting miko. He could tell her throat was dry from screaming. So he nudged the bowl of water towards the weakening girl. "Drink then speak." Sesshomaru ordered.

Kagome was embarrassed by having to drink like a dog, but as she lapped up the water it felt so refreshing on her lips and on her sore throat. She knew she had to give into Sesshomaru, otherwise she would die, and he would revive her again. She was defeated. So, Kagome took a last drink of water before sitting on the ground and looking at it.

"I announce you as my lord." Kagome bowed her head to show her respect, if only to save her own life. Sesshomaru smirked down at the beaten and somewhat broken girl. "Hn, very well. I will send someone down to patch your wounds and to feed you. If you behave like a good Bitch, I may be gracious and let you outside with Rin again." Sesshomaru spoke to the girl before walking out of the dungeons, leaving Kagome tied up and leashed. 'Inuyasha…where were you? Do I mean nothing anymore for you to even come to try and save me?' Kagome thought in despair.
