A slave's story

A/N - Sorry I'm late on this, I'm really sorry, I had to
plan this chapter out. So, without further ado, here is
the next chapter...enjoy!
-Kagome

"What did you say??" It was obvious that Ryu was absoultely
livid with this new bit of information. However, the servant
answered bravely and unflinching, "Inuyasha-sama is here,
Ryu-sama." His voice was amazingly calm, Kagome noticed.
"Leave us!" Ryu snarled harshly. The servant again didn't
flinch, he just calmly bowed and left the room. Kagome
stiffened as she felt him face her. He grabbed her small
frame by the shoulders and he shook her hard enough to make
her head snap back and forth.

"Why is he here? What did you do? How did he find us? How did
you contact him?" He hissed at her, demanding answers. Kagome,
for the life of her, couldn't grasp what he was saying...he was
just speaking so fast, and with him shaking her, it gave little
ability for her to answer Ryu much less comprehend what he was
asking her. He finally stopped shaking her and she answered
"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Hold her." Ryu ordered the men. He put the slave collar and
chain around Kagome's neck. Almost immediately Kagome felt the
familiar harsh tug of the collar and was harshly yanked off of
the bed. "Come with me, we'll meet Inuyasha together." Ryu
said, yanking Kagome again after him. Kagome fought against
him, hoping that he would at least look at her and realize
that he had forgotten the kindness of clothing, which he had
ripped off of her, and once he realized it, he would allow
her to put on some clothes. No such thing happened, however.
Ryu got more irriatated and the more irritated that he got,
the harsher his tugs got.

finally they reached the meeting room that Kagome recognized
all to well from the night Inuyasha had saved her...unwanted
images of the men who had been there...with their filthy hands
all over her...Kagome shivered. The door opened, and there
stood a hanyou who absolutely looked pissed as hell. The look
on his face was enough to scare Kagome and make her pause, but
she was yanked hard after Ryu into the room and the large wood
door was shut, giving Kagome a horrible feeling of finality.

Inuyasha's eyes fell upon Kagome and he sniffed a little, and
his face, if at all possible, turned into even more of a snarl,
making his face even more frightening. Kagome was yanked so that
she was closer to Ryu than she thought comfortable...he snaked
his arm around Kagome's shoulder and he pulled her flush against
him.

"Can I help you, Inuyasha-san?" Ryu asked, smirking. Inuyasha
growled. "She's hurt, I can smell it. What the hell did you
do to her?" he demanded. "What do you care? She's my bed
servant, Inuyasha. I'll do as I like with her." He used his free
hand to pull her face toward him and kissed Kagome, forcing
his tounge down her thrat, causing the girl to gag, fighting
against him.

Inuyasha lunged without warning, and Ryu moved out of the way,
pushing Kagome out of the way yet holding on to the chain,
causing Kagome to reach the end of the chain and be jerked
forward and gag.

"You let her go, you bastard!" Inuyasha snarled.

"She's my servant, like hell I'll let her go." Ryu yelled
back. He yanked Kagome back toward him and held her still
in front of him. "You want her? Come and get her!"

Inuyasha was at a loss as to what to do. The bastard was
using Kagome as a shield.

"What's wrong, Inuyasha? Afraid to hurt a girl?" Ryu said,

"Shut up, Bastard!" Inuyasha shot back.

He made a few attempts at Ryu, but the situation did not
improve any at all....and all he was managing to do was
scare Kagome.

Suddenly, Inuyasha had an idea..

He made a lunge, and this time, he cut through the metal
of the chain collar, and Kagome didn't waste a minute...
she squirmed away, sucessfuly breaking free, and took off
to the opposte side of the room, watching what would happen.

"What's wrong, not so tough when you're not hiding behind
a girl?" Inuyasha asked with a smirk.

"You'll pay for that!" Ryu growled. Suddenly, he lunged at
Inuyasha, drawing out a sword. Kagome gasped. With a swipe
of Inuyasha's claws, Ryu was gone.

Kagome turned to the side, sickened, her body shaking.

She felt warm clothing wrap around her, turning out to be
Inuyasha's haiori. She then felt arms wrap around her and
she stiffened.

"It's okay, Kagome it's me.." Kagome still didn't calm down.
She felt herself pulled against a warm and harsh chest.

Inuyasha lept and ran as fast as he could back to his house.
Kagome gripped Inuyasha tightly, scared. The cold air whipped
at her.

Suddenly, they had entered the window of the room that Kagome
stayed in at Inuyasha's home. "Kagome, are you okay?" He asked.
All he could see was the top of her head. Kagome shook her head.
"Are you hurt?" Kagome shook her head again. "Are you hungry?"
Kagome shook her head again. "Are you thirsty?" Kagome shook her
head again. "Are you tired?" Kagome nodded. He sat there for a while,
just holding her close to him, Kagome listening to the beating
of Inuyasha's heart.

"Kagome, I'm so sorry you had to see that...when I think of what
that bastard did to you..."

he stopped when he smelled an increase in her fear, her body shaking
again.

And Inuyasha held her until she fell asleep.
