NEW CHAPPIE

Name of Story: Misa

Summary: My name is Misa. Up until recently, I was an average human girl. I worked in my family's fields and my parents were forcing me to marry some boy that I do not love. So, I ranaway. Now, I am on a journey of my life with Sesshomaru, heir to the Western Lands

Author's Note: Hey! Guess what, my laptop is alive and well! Therefore, as a treat, here is the next chapter for Misa! I hope you like it. Oh, I changed the summary. I will probably do that every few chapters…maybe. As always, thanks for all the reviews. R&R

Name of Chapter: Lord Katashi

…

"A g-g-geisha h-house?" I stammered, looking wide eye at my long lost friend. "You are joking me, right?"

Kayo shook her head. "I wish I was."

"Why did they bring me here?" I asked. I hated geishas. They had no dignity. If they do have any, it has a price. A very large price.

"The Lord of this house pays lots of yen for each girl Juro and Jin bring in each week." Kayo answered, looking sad. I growled, not believing what I was hearing. Girls being ripped away from their families so Juro and his brother could be paid?

I gasped, looking at her with wide eyes.

"You're not a geisha, are you?" I asked her, fear evident in my voice. I did not want my best friend to be a geisha. Hell, I did not want her to be here in the first place. I cried and starved myself for days after she went missing. I blamed myself for her disappearance.

Kayo laughed, throwing her head back. I raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, no." She gasped and I breathed in relief. "They wanted me to be one but I said no. I hate dressing up in those kimonos and all that face paint."

I giggled.

"Figures you'd reject it." I said, smiling.

"Miki! We need to get this one washed!" A woman yelled to us. I looked at Kayo, confused. Why did they just call her Miki?

"All right, Aoi." Kayo replied to the woman.

"Wait, why did she call you Miki and why do I need to be washed?" I asked, clutching her arm. I wanted answers.

"I'll tell you later. Right now, we need to get you ready." Kayo said, standing up. I stood up next to her.

"Ready for what?" I asked. My only answer was me being led behind a screen and my clothing taken off my body before I could protest. "Hey! What are you do-Ah! That's hot!" I yelled as I was thrown into the steaming hot tub. I spit out water that got into my mouth.

"Good. Easier for us to clean the dirt off you." Another woman said, putting oil on a sponge.

Long story short, I was scrubbed raw. They scrubbed me from head to toe. My hair was trimmed and my nails were clipped. It was torture for me. I hated it. My skin stung and it was beet red.

"Get out, you." Aoi said, holding out a towel for me. Grateful the scrubbing from Hell was done; I stepped out of the tub. Bumps rose on my skin as the cool air hit my hot skin. I shivered and wrapped the towel around my torso.

"My, you were a filthy one." A woman said, beginning to comb my hair. "What were you sleeping on the ground?"

"Yes." I snapped; annoyed how my hair was being tugged hard against my scalp.

"Tsk, tsk. When was the last time you combed you hair? It's full of snarls." The woman grumbled as she continued to pull at my hair. I wish she would stop! It hurt and I am sure she was pulling out handfuls of my hair.

I had to admit, though. I did not know the last time I combed my hair. It must have been before I ran away. Way before I ran away.

"Ow," I cried as the woman twirled my hair and wrapped it in a tight bun. "I like my hair down."

They did not listen to me, however they just held out a grey hakama and a white kimono to me.

"What are these? Where are my other clothes?" I demanded holding my arms tight against my chest.

"In the wash." Aoi answered, frowning at me with her hands on her big hips. "You can not meet the Lord of the house in those filthy things."

"What?" I screamed, horrified. I did not want to meet the Lord of the house! I wanted to get out of this house! "I don't want to meet the Lord of this house. I want out!"

Aoi slapped me across the face. I glared at her.

"You will do as you're told." Aoi stated. "Or else you will be punished."

Before I knew it, I was in a small room surrounded by the other girls in the carriage, bathed and dressed similar to the way I was. They all looked worried or scared. I on the other hand, was pissed. There was no window I could escape from. Juro and Jin were on the other side of the door, guarding it.

"What are we all doing in here?" I whispered to Aizuki and her sister, kneeling by them on the floor.

"Waiting for the Lord of the house." Aizuki's sister replied; an arm wrapped around Aizuki for comfort as she cried.

"Do you think he'll kill us, Tai?" Aizuki asked her sister.

Tai shook her head and smiled sadly. "No, Aizuki. Or else why would he have us take baths or have clean clothes?"

Aizuki was about to reply when another door opened. A man that had graying black hair and cold black eyes stepped into the room. He had on an expensive looking black and gold kimono with matching hakama's and black boots. There were two girls dressed in fancy blue and yellow kimonos' attached to his arms.

He sat down in a large chair and the girls bowed in front of him.

"Good evening." He greeted us, his voice sounding General like. "I am Lord Katashi. I command this house."

When he said this, all of the girls bowed to the floor. I stayed upright, looking at him with disdain. His eyes roamed the room and landed on me.

"You there," He said, pointing to me. "Come here."

"I can't." I said without thinking. My heart pounded. I saw Tai and Aizuki give me fearful looks.

"Hmm." He snapped his fingers and Juro and Jin grabbed me roughly by arms and put me in front of him. "What is your name, maiden?"

"Misa." I answered shortly.

"Misa, why do you not bow for your Lord Katashi?"

"I do not bow for any one." I snapped, glaring at him. "Especially to you. You are not my Lord. You will never be my Lord."

Katashi slapped me and I spit in his eye.

"You impudent wench!" He yelled and slapped me again after wiping away my spit. I just smiled at him, not wanting to show my pain. "Bow to me!"

"Never." I growled. I would never bow to this creep. That would mean I would have to do everything he tells me. Just to put an emphasis on it, I spit in his face again. If I did not know any better, I'd say I would be dead by now.

Katashi growled and snapped his fingers again. Juro and Jin forced me to the floor, my nose millimeters from touching the floor.

"You will be a servant until I deem worthy for you to be fit to be in the company of men." Katashi declared, wiping away my spit and glare in his eyes.

"Like hell I will!" I yelled, looking up at him and glaring. Right now, I wished I were a demon so I could escape from this place. My worst nightmare was coming true again since I began traveling with Sesshomaru and Jaken. I was being forced to do something I did not want to do.

"Get her out of my sight." Katashi commanded.

"Yes, milord." Jin and Juro answered in unison. They lifted me up from under my arms.

"The first chance I get, I will run." I promised Katashi, a defiant look in my eyes.

"Then I will catch you and kill you slowly." Katashi grinned menacingly.
