Slave of Love

Disclaimer: I don’t own Inuyasha, it belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. Nor the book “Enslaved” by V.Henley

A/N: I AM REALLY SO SO SO SORRY IT TOOK MORE THAN A MONTH!!! But This time it wasn’t my fault! Well, not entirely anyway, the first thing to blame is my stupid internet conection added the damn mail that doesn’t deliver correctly so I couldn’t send my beta the chappie, then I had to find a new beta, cause my last one was really busy and I really wanted to update for you guys and to top it up a stupid idiot of an ex!*sigh* This chapter was finished more than three weeks ago, and the reason it took so long to write is, well you see, I had some men trouble with the arrogant baka formerly known as my boyfriend, so I couldn’t get into my writing until the problem was solved. I am so sorry about the delay but from now on I promise to update much sooner, of course not having a baka breathing down my neck and whining everytime I wanted to write helps, so as soon this chapter is posted I will begin the next one! And as a reward for the waiting I put some lime content on this one, hope you like it! Oh, one more thing, many people asked me if Kagome would ever return to her time, the answer is yes, but not any time near now. She still has some things to do with the handsome Roman General *hint hint*, you know what I mean, ne?(lol)

Chapter 14: To Wear Or Not To Wear... That is the Question/A Woman has more Valuable Things than Just her Beauty!

Kagome woke up to the morning sun shining on her eyes, as she grew used to the light she inspected her surroundings to establish where she was. Looking at the side of the bed she didn’t use, she saw that the soft mattress covered by silk sheets of a dark blue color and the pillow next to hers, were deepen forming a shape that held the enticing scent of sandalwood and earth. ‘Inuyasha’, she thought sleepy as she dive her nose on his pillow to inhale his scent. ‘The last thing I remember was to sit down on the bed steps and think of him. I must have fallen asleep last night; does that mean that he put me on bed? Judging by the shape left on the mattress he slept on the other side of the bed. So close yet so far away. Did he touch me? But no... If Inuyasha Magnus ever touches a woman I am sure that she will never be nor feel the same, and I feel no different from last night.’ As the thoughts flooded in her head the door opened.

“Good morning sleepy head. You must have been very tired last night.” Sanio said as she entered the room. She had a tray with something that smelled wonderful to Kagome.

“Is that breakfast for me? Because if it’s not I am going to eat it any way.”

Sanio laughed, “Yes it is your breakfast. Come eat up, you have to be healthy so you can keep up with Inuyasha.” She added with a wink.

“We didn’t do anything last night, I fell asleep.” Kagome said walking towards the table where Sanio had left the tray, while blushing.

“I know. But you are special to him.”

“Why do you say that? You really think so?” She asked not noticing her hopeful eyes and anxious tone she used.

“Yes I really think so. He must really like you if he let you sleep in his bed with him. He never does that, he has never shared the whole night with a woman; he usually sends them to their own rooms after... Well you know what I mean.” She said a bit flushed. “That probes that you are very important; He is really taken with you.”

Kagome said nothing and kept eating, but she couldn’t be more pleased. The thought that she was some what important, that to him she meant more than any of the other women he had ever shared his bed with, was ecstatic, thrilling, wonderful. A small smile tugged her lips.

“That is good, I suppose.” Kagome answered. “You don’t know if he said anything about clothes do you?” She asked as she looked down to what she was wearing, it was all tangled up. “And a bath would be nice to?” She said in an innocent voice.

Sanio laughed and said: “Of course. Inuyasha left orders for you to pick any of the fabrics you like, he only insisted on the styles and designs of the stoles, the rest, the colours, materials and all is up to your choice.”

Kagome made a face. ‘Just when I thought that I was free to dress myself I find that I’m not. It’s like in my time when Kikyo would choose my clothing. I hate when people do that, why do they? Nobody tells them how to dress!’

“He has never done this before either. You don’t have to be offended, he just wants to see that the design suits his pleasures, as I said the colours and the rest of the attachments you add to your hair and everything is up to you, just as it is the way yo yoo your hair and make up.”

“The seamstress will come to the villa or will we have to go to town?”

“She will come here to take measurements. But we will go to town to get some things for you, like hair pins, earrings, and other. And also to look for ornatrices*.”

“Ornatrices?”

“Yes they are the women who do your hair, the hairdressers.”

“Oh, there is already a girl who does that for me and she does it wonderfully also.”

“Yes, Portia. You can keep her as your personal slave if she has pleased you.” When Sanio saw Kagome’s uncertain face she added. “It would elevate her position in the household to do your hair and make up. It would please her very much.”

“Well in that case, I will be happy to keep her.” She replied with a smile as she accepted for the first time in her whole life to be served by a slave.

“Good. Now lets go get you bathe, shall we?” Sanio said as she started walking towards the bath after Kagome’s nod.

While walking to the bath they encountered Mirkus and before she had time to ask him to take her see Inuyasha while he trained the men he spoke.

“The General ordered me to take you to him after lunch.”

“Then I shall obey.” She replied with soft voice. ‘He remembered! I can’t believe it; he remembered my petition from last night. He must want for me to go see him or else he would have forgotten. It will be exiting to see how he addresses to me in front of his soldiers, which probes by itself how much Inuyasha treasures me and wants to show off.’ But what Kagome didn’t know was that it also demonstrated Inuyasha’s need and impatience to see her before night time, for to him waiting till sunset was an Odyssey, too far away it was.
So lost in her thoughts, she took her time to notice the bickering that was being spoken by the two persons next to her.

“... Woman of the Gaul.” Was what she heard Mirkus said as he finished his sentence with his usual smile.

“You, perverted Briton, know nothing at all about anything at all. And least of all about women! You couldn’t tell the difference between a women from a barbaric him/her!” Sanio replied screaming her head of by the end of the little speech.

Kagome covered her mouth with a hand as to not let laughter out. Mirkus face was a sight to contemplate alright, completely pale and shocked. ‘Maybe the fact of being yelled by a woman freezes him.’ She thought ae eye eyed him waiting his reaction.

“Well...” He began. “... I can certainly tell the difference between Koharu and you, she being Briton and you coming from the barbaric lands of Gaul.”

Both Sanio and Kagome gasped. ‘Oh, that was low! I outta-’ But before she could finish that thought a slap was heard echoing the hall.

“Then maybe you should recognise my slap, reaction of a normal woman who wouldn’t dream on letting you touch her, from that of a whore who would even think of looking at you twice.” With that said she began walking towards the bath without once looking behind.

Kagome shook her stupor and turned to glare at Mirkus, who had an even more shocked face than before while holding his pained cheek with his hand.

“You are lucky that I need you to take me to Inuyasha, otherwise I would give you a piece of mnd.”nd.” With that she turned to follow Sanio. “Sanio wait for me!”

Mirkus stood there, his hand still on his cheek. ‘I think maybe that wasn’t the best reply. But... She had no right to make that comment about me and women, besides she didn’t have to slap me, she knows that I meant nothing about that Koharu comment. Shit! Cursed women, who the hell understands them!’ With that last thought he walked towards the kitchen area.

***

As Kagome reached Sanio they walked side by side in silence, that is of course until Kagome couldn’t take it anymore.

“Are you all right?”

After a while of silence in which Kagome thought that the manumitted* woman wouldn’t answer her, Sanio spoke.

“I am fine. Thank you for asking. It’s just that that man can get the worst out of me! I don’t get it!”

“Maybe he likes you?”

Sanio snorted, “Please! Have you not heard us?, Anyway I couldn’t care less if he did.”

Kagome thought otherwise but she kept it to her self. They arrive at the bath room and Kagome proceed to dive in the warm pool as she talked of other things to get Sanio out of her own murdering thoughts. After she was done she had a quick dive at the cold pool and she got out to be wraped in the same white toga that Kagome so recently had called “sheets”, they went back to Kagome’s new bedroom to see two merchants each accompanied by a female slave, after all their client was female, and trunks full of different fabrics for Kagome to choose among. Sanio already recovered from her encounter with that horrid man, said: “Alright. Let us begin. Kagome we have time until noon, or a bit less, so let’s start!

As the merchants opened their trunks Kagome gasped; one reason was the fact that one trunk was full of fabrics while the other of jewels of every type one could imagine and the second reason was that in the first trunk there were rolls of fabrics of every color, texture, and material. One second later there were fabrics some even from far places like Egypt and China spread all over the furniture, some adorning the couch, on chairs, and on the bed... It was a river of colour. As Kagome looked at every each an one of the cloths, Sanio talked to the fabric salesman explaining him the General’s instructions of the stoles he requested.

“Oh Sanio! Look at this one.” Kagome exclaimed as she held up some white silk roll. “This could do for a classic/elegant stole, like those of a goddess” She said, stars shining in her eyes, her tone of wonderment. “Do you think we could have a toga ready for this afternoon?”

“Most certainly, a toga is a very easy thing to do. Just a couple of knots here and there and a clasp, and there you go, a new stole. A skill slave can do it in a few minutes. You can have a palla too, it is even easier to make you only need a clasp and there you go, you got your self a cloak and if you want a hooded one it only takes a few folds and its ready.”

“That’s wonderful. You think we can order that white fabric?”

“The merchant is already taking notes of everything you like.”

“Fabulous.” She said. Then she gasped. “Sanio, look at this one! What do you call this colour?” She asked the salesman.

“That blue colour is called ultramarine.”

“It’s beautiful.” As she kept looking the man wrote down everything., my, my! Look at this one Sanio, it has tiger prints but is so thin that will fit like a web.” It was almost transparent, and Kagome loved it.

“The animal print fabrics are very popular now in Rome.” The man said proudly.

Kagome finished with the fabrics and moved to the jewellery with Sanio next to her. She couldn’t believe her eyes; the number of exotic earrings, bracelets, arm charms with animal shapes, necklaces, ankle socks, finger rings, and toe rings was amazing. Never in her life had she seen such a collection. Wide eyed, she picked up a gold charm with the shape of a serpent with two rubies as eyes. Sanio looked at the merchant and nodded with her head, she then turn back to Kagome with a soft smile in her face. ‘This girl, she is so open with her emotions, her face gives away her every thought and feeling. I like that; she will be good for Inuyasha... Well, for the entire household.’ They picked for Kagome emerald earrings, finger and toe rings some simple some with gems such as sapphires, that had Kagome fascinated, a wide gold belt that was used beneath her breasts to enhance them and her tiny waist, a bag full of white pearls to use as adornment on her hair, a couple of gold and silver filigreeing, matching necklaces, bracelets and ankle socks, to sum it up, almost everything the merchant had.

“All right, with this done, let’s leave this women and some of my best seamstresses to get you some clothes for today and work on the rest of your wardrobe.” Sanio said as she looked through the window towards the garden where a sun clock was. ‘It’s almost noon, we better hurry.’ With that thought she guides Kagome out of the room and towards the kitchen. “And in the mean time get you feed.”

“Sanio...” She said a bit unsure.

“Yes?”

“As slave of this household, what are my chores, my duties?”

“Your only job is to serve and entertain Inuyasha. Nothing else will be required from youn’t n’t worry, you wont have to clean any more floors.” Sanio replied with a smile.

“Well, that’s a relief!” Kagome said as she smiled back.

***

“Are we going to the fortress again?” She asked the man standing on the chariot next to her. She was wearing a simple white toga, and low heel sandals, the only thing contrasting with her complexion was the scarlet cape she wore. With the hood up to cover her hair, so nicely fixed by Portia, from the windy day to scare away the cold.

“No, we were ordered to go to the river directly.” Mirkus answered a bit hard.

Kagome sent him a side glare and said: “Well, I certainly do not know what’s with the tone... Afall,all, you were the one who put his foot on his mouth.”

“I did no-” But he stopped, she was making him be on the defensive. And judging by her smirk she knew it. ‘Damn this women! Who undandsands them? One day they love you the next they despise you.’ And then he answered the way he had heard his master do so very often. “Keh.”

“What kind of word is that any way? I heard Inuyasha use it a couple of times with his soldiers or some of the slaves.”

“Lady Kagome, we are here.” Mirkus said stopping the chariot on a hill. Downwards you could see the regiments with their attention centred in one man, Inuyasha. He was putting his complete armour to cross the river. Kagome glanced at the Avon River, and shivered. ‘It looks a hundred degree freezing cold and a very choppy. It won’t be easy for him to do it.’ As she watched him walk toward the shore and dive in, she bit down her lip anxiously, her hands subconsciously tightening their hold of the chariot’s border.

“Why is he doing something so dangerous?”

“He must settle the example, and besides, there is nothing Inuyasha Magnus can’t do. He is the best among all of them. If he can’t cross none of them can, and so he is trying to inspire confidence on the men.”
ome ome said nothing too entrance by the show developing downhill, between the man and the furious icy waters. Mirkus looked at Kagome’s concerned face and smiled. He was pleased that the woman cared about his General, even though he didn’t know her plans concerning the Roman, he knew she was beginning to feel something towards him and most positive it wasn’t hatred. ‘This is good... She will be good for him, for all of us.’ Following her gaze he watched as Inuyasha fought against thbid bid waters, beating it, already being in the middle of the river. As he reached the other shore, cheers could be heard from the soldiers in land, turning quiet again as the Primus Pilus began to swim back without a minute resting. ‘The man is a machine!’ Kagome thought as she watched him start his way back without even a minute rest. Several minutes later Inuyasha was arriving to the shore again. She saw him shook first his head then his body to get the water and cold off, like a dog. ‘I wonder if he knows I am here.’ As if reading her thoughts suddenly he raised his head and looked at her straight in her eyes. Feeling a sudden impulse Kagome lowered the hood of her cape and let her hair to be lifted by the wind, making her look like a wild, untamed, passionate creature to Inuyasha’s eyes, and more than just one soldier. He laughed at her gesture and raised a hand to salute.
Kagome wave back towards him and sent him a kiss, while smiling. She noticed that it was time for the centurions to cross the river. Some of them had to be taken before drowning, they would try again later. Now the soldiers were to cross. Kagome shivered as she watched Kogus getting of the water, he had crossed pretty well but not as good as his brother. ‘Something about him, frightens me.’

Inuyasha was standing there looking at the beautiful, wild Kagome as his brother approached him.

“You know, some how freezing my fucking balls is not my idea of an ideal training, brother.” Kogus said as he spit some water from his mouth.

“You will have the balls of the size of a fucking bean when you are to cross the northern rivers, so you better go getting use to it, as well as your soldiers if any of you wants to survive this campaign against the northern tribes. You better remember today’s lesson.” Inuyasha said never taking his gaze from Kagome. Kogus followed his gaze and saw her. He felt the painful stab of lust and jealousy.

“How much do you want for her?”

Inuyasha sighed and said calmly: “She is not for . Sh. She is mine.”

“Too bad.” Kogus said in a nonchalantly way and then smiled. “She won’t be getting any action from you today, my brother; you will be exhausted by the end of the. Th. The legionaries want for you to cross the river ag”
”

Inuyasha raised a hand to Mirkus.

“He wants for us to leave now.”

“I am so glad I came to see him!” She said with a smile.

As they reached the villa Kagome went to her room, and found no one there. ‘I wonder where could Sanio be?’ She then heard her voice and followed it. She entered a room to which she had never been at. It was pretty much a normal room, except for the glassed windows that surrounded the four walls letting the sunlight flood in like a sea of fire illuminating every corner of the room ma it it look like a conservatory. As she walked in she noticed the beautiful mosaic floor forming Jupiter, King of gods, in all his glory. Kagome was in awe at all this, when she raised her head she saw Sanio was standing there smiling at her.

“This is beautiful Sanio. It must have taken ages to do it. And the windows... How do you make the glass?”

“Well, the mosaic work is very much of an artist work so, it takes quite long or not depending of the artist and his inspiration. And the glass is made out of sand and it requires a flat mould... I am not really sure how it’s made though... It’s one of the many secrets the Romans taught the Britons.”

“I see. Well, I was looking for you to know if you have made any advance with the clothes, and to tell you that the meeting with In-” She stopped glancing at the slaves finishing sewing. “With the master went very well.”

“Wonderful! The clothes are almost ready, by tomorrow you will have a complete new wardrobe. Though the stoles that the general ordered are in the caring of Mirkus. The general said for Mirkus to take care of them. Tell me... Did he return with you? Or did he go elsewhere?” ‘He surely went to see that Koharu... Mon Dieu, I hate that woman. But is not her fault she is a prostitute, I mean, she has to accept him if he pays her right? So in the end is the man’s fault! Yes, that is right; he is to blame for everything. That uncaring, cold, arrogant, self-centred, bast-’

“Mm, no, he came with me. Why?” Kagome asked giving her a confuse frown. “Did he have an errand?” But Sanio didn’t hear, she was lost in her thoughts.

Her thoughts changed when she heard Kagome’s answer. ‘Then where in Dieu’s name is he? He was suppose to look for me and tell me the dinner plans for tonight and everything when he returned, connard* Briton, can’t he do anything right?’ Sanio snapped back to reality when a hand was waved in front or far face while a voice said: “Yuhoo, Sanio? Are you still with us?” Kagome was looking at her with concern eyes.

“Uh? Oh Yes, I am sorry... What were you saying?”

“Mm, I forgot. Anyway, never mind, you have to help me find what to wear for tonight.”

“Yes, we have several things to do. Let us leave this women do their best job and make you beautiful clothes.”

With that the both went to Kagome’s room to prepare for the evening.

***

Kagome was standing in front of the silver polished mirror looking at her reflection. She was wearing a long white silk stole, very similar to the one she wore the night of the mask ball, so long ago, only that this was longer, reaching her ankles. She was wearing one of the toe rings she had bought that morning in the middle toe and an ankle sock with little bells that tinkled with every step she gave, on her left foot. With no underwear of any kind she felt completely free. Her hair was up, leaving some tresses down her back and around her face, with pearls entwined making her hair even more beautiful. She was bare foot because she thought it would show better her ring and ankle sock. When she was done examining her looks, she turned around.

“I love what you did to my hair Portia, thank you.”

“Your welcome my lady.”

“My lady?”

“Well, yes, you can’t fool me. You are no slave, and if you are you were taught very well to act like a lady. Besides I am sure that you will end being the lady of the household.” She finished with a smile on her face.

Kagome didn’t know why, but she blushed. “You are wrong Portia, I am a slave. At least now. I am Inuyasha Magnus’ slave, so please, no high treatment.”

“Very well my la- I mean, Miss Kagome.”

“Yes, I like that much better.”

Someone clearing their throat made Kagome turned towards the door. When she did she saw Mirkus standing there with another white stole in his hands.

“Oh! Is Inuyasha home yet?”

“Yes, the General arrived an hour ago.”

“Oh.” She said disappointed. “I wanted to go and receive him at the atrium my self.” She didn’t get any answer to that.

“Here.” He said as he extended the toga towards Kagome. “The General wants you to wear this tonight.”

Kagome examined the cloth.

“Oh, Mirkus there seems to be a problem. It’s not finished yet, they forgot to cover the part of the left breast. I am not going to be able to use it.” As she gestured to give the mid thigh length stole back to the master of slaves. She was stopped by a shook of his head.

“It was made to be that way. That was how the General requested it. I said I would be your allied, so follow my advice, and wear the toga.”

“Excuse me? I am not going to wear a piece of cloth that doesn’t cover my left breast and be walking around the house! What does he think I am? You better go and tell him that I refuse to wear it!” ‘What, he thinks he can treat me as a whore? Well he couldn’t be more wrong!’ “You know what? Never mind that! I will tell him my self!” With that she grabbed Mirkus arm and walked towards the same direction that Mirkus had taken her the night before. The same as the night before Inuyasha was already at the trniumnium pacing waiting for her. This time there were servants arranging the platters and rest. The Primus Pilus stopped his pace and looked at Kagome and frown when he realized something.

“You are not wearing the stole I sent you.” He said in a very low voice. The frown had become a scowl and it was quite a frightening sight.

“I refuse to wear that, Inuyasha!” She realized that she had said the wrong words because of two reactions. First Inuyasha’s darkened furious face, and secondly when gasps were heard from the servants followed by a shattering silence. ‘Damn! I forgot our pact! And because I broke it, Inuyasha can easily just call the whole thing off.’ Ok, she was now panicking as she saw Inuyasha’s face.

“You refuse, bitch?! You think I give a fuck what you care, wench? You are changing into the short stole and then you will return here to fulfil the only objective you have in this life: to please me! Am I clear enough?” He was in front of her speaking in a low threatening tone of voice, almost growling. Kagome gulped and sank her fingers that were still resting on Mirkus arm, in the cloth cladded muscles that were underneath her hand. She raised her chin haughtily.

“Crystal.” With that she turned with Mirkus towards her room. When they arrived to her room Mirkus spoke.

“I told you woman.”

“Shut up! You are just as bad as he is!” She was fuming. ‘Fine, he wants to play dirty, let’s play.’ She put the short stole that was held up by the right shoulder with a ruby clasp. She remove the ring she liked so much and the ankle and chose heelless long silver strapped sandals.

“Portia, give me the ruby bracelet and serpent charm with rubies, the silver one not the gold one.” As she put the charm and the bracelet she walked towards the mirror again. ‘OH. MY.GOD.’ She blushed bright red. ‘I can not wear this! Is way too indecent! I look like a pagan, like a whore!’ Her left breast was completely exposed to the eye of every one who cared to look. ‘I can’t walk around wearing this. Besides it is too short also, if I recline on the lounge it will rise even more. Oh, Why me?’ She inhale to calm down a bit the flush. ‘Alright Kagome, you can do this... I’ll just wear my hair to the side to cover it.’ With that solved, Kagome turned to Mirkus, blush still on, and said: “Ready.” They walked towards the triclonium again. This time they were greeted by a smiley Inuyasha, the scowl faded from his features for complete. He took Kagome’s hand in his to make her step in and part her from Mirkus.

“I salute you, mylady. It’s a pleasure to be home finally.”

“I salute you.” She answered back without meeting his eyes, looking through him. She felt his grip wavered and take the chance to go to the lounge. She didn’t lay down in both elbows like she had done last night; instead she reclined in one, the left one, so her breast would be a bit cover. Though she couldn’t do anything about her legs, but that didn’t mattered as much as the bosom. Inuyasha looked at her and sighed internally, walking towards his lounge. The servants were serving them tonight, so Kagome reminded herself to act according the pact. Well, not quite what she was about to do but then again, he didn’t deserved her conversation.
As they started eating, Inuyasha almost not swallowing, so starved he was with the afternoon activities. They were drinking calda, a mix of wines, spices, and hot water. It reminded Kagome to the hippocras, and with that thought one of Koga Shinda came. He would have been the first man she would have made love to if she wouldn’t have travelled back in time. She shivered at the thought. Somehow she had made a lucky runaway, she looked at Inuyasha and the truth was that even though their different cultures, believes, attitudes, words, and thoughts, she wouldn’t for for any other man to have her initiated in the act of love. His voice interrupted her train of thoughts.

“Did you enjoy the demonstration at the river today?”

“May I please answer you when we are on our own?” She said in a calm, low voice.

“Of course you can.” He wanted to hear his name coming out form her lips, he wanted to hear her talk; entertain him like she had done last night. He had loved the sound of her voice and laughter, her company, until Kogus have ruined it. He had been waiting all day to be with her, to hear her voice calling him.

“Last night when I arrived, you were asleep. Did I disturb you?”

“Can I please tell you when we are on our own?” She said again.

He frowned. She was irritating him on purpose.

“No, you fucking can’t. You will answer me now any question I make you.”

“May I answer your questions with honesty?”

Inuyasha was sure she was a using some female trick. He eyed her through half closed bids and said: “You can answer my questions however you want, saying what you want, as long as it pleases me.”

Kagome bit her lip and said nothing. They were playing “cat and mouse” and they both new it.

“Let’s start over, shall we? Did you enjoy the demonstration at the river today?”

“I enjoyed it above everything else, master.”

Inuyasha gritted his teeth as he heard her servile answer. “Did I disturb your sleep last night?”

“You being near me always disturbs me, master.”

Never a patient man, his patience wore thin. “Leave us.” He ordered the servants. “And close the door on your way out.” As the last of them exited the room and closed the door, he turned to the frustrating, impossible woman, laying near and yet so far from him.

“Once again...” He said warning her she better replied him or he would explode. “Did you enjoy the demonstration at the river today?”

Kagome move the small golden pillow to be in a more comfortable position before answering. She sensually recline backwards so she could face him.

“I enjoyed it, even though not as much as you Inuyasha, you were showing off all of your abilities, especially to the centurions. Poor Kogus, couldn’t compare to you, he didn’t even stand a chance.”

“Mea culpa*.” He said with a childish smile. He let his eyes travel over her body anxiously. “Do you have any idea of how beautiful you are tonight?”

“You mean for a slave?”

“You don’t look like a slave. You look like a Goddess! I choose that toga because you remember me of the goddess of hunt, Diana. The only thing that is missing is the arrow in your hand.”

“Well, I certainly hope you will rectify that soon enough.” She said suggestingly.

Inuyasha threw his head backwards and barked a laugh. “You are charming.”

“Well, I am aimed to please you.” She replied, sarcasm dripping her every word.

“If that is so, then come to lay down with me and share my cup and plate.”

Kagome’s pulse increased. She wasn’t stupid; she new that if she laid with him the food would be soon forgotten and she would become the first course and dessert. ‘Quick, stupid brain! Get the mind out of the gutter and think of something.’

“You promised to woo me.” ‘There! Good brain, never fails me.’

“And how can I do that if you are too far away? What better way to woo you than in my lounge?”

‘Damn that man!’ “If I wasn’t wearing this stole revealing my left breast, I would lay with you. Perhaps, tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow! Swear it!”

“I swear it, Inuyasha.” She replied softly. Inuyasha smirked, a mischievous smirk, as an idea took form in his head. ‘Tomorrow I will make sure to take the best out of that promise, my beautiful Kagome.’ He thought.

“Would you be more comfortable if I asked Sanio to serve us tomorrow?”

“Please, if you could. That would help to lessen my modesty a lot. Thank you.”

“It’s nothing. But your modesty is out of place Kagome. You have the most beautiful body I have ever seen you shouldn’t be ashamed of it or try hide it.”

“I appreciate the complement, but, Inuyasha can’t you understand that I don’t have any desire to exhibit my body?”

“That’s ridiculous. When a woman possess beauty she must show it! It’s the only valuable thing a woman has.” His eyes caressing her body as if to affirm his words.

“You are wrong! Beauty is only a small part of a woman!

“No. Beauty is everything. Beauty is everything I, or any man, wants in a woman. Well that and obedience, of course.”

Kagome was horrified. “That is the most preposterous, chauvinist, arrogant, degrading thing I have ever heard! And you couldn’t be more wrong! We have other “valuable” things as you so put it!” She replied with passion, as she threw her hair backward impatiently.

Inuyasha didn’t manage to take his eyes of Kagome. ‘Anger certainly increases her beauty.’ “Really? Such as?” He asked abruptly.

“Intelligence, of course, and will of power. And what do you tell me about sense of humour? Humour is at least as important as beauty! A woman should be cherished by all of her attributes. Any slave can obey you, Roman!” She ended fiercely.

“It wasn’t us, the Romans, who invented slavery, Kagome. The tribes of Britain trade slaves with us since years ago.”

“That doesn’t make it legal. Slavery is illegal, it always has been.”

“Economies depend on slave markets. Slavery will exist for ever. You must accept it.”

“No, Inuyasha, it won’t. It will be abolished. And thank god for that.”

“I have no interest in discussing political matters. I am here to be entertained. I am interested in your beauty not your intelligence.”

“Well, then you are going to be disappointed, because I was planning to entertain you with my intelligence not my beauty.”

“It will be impossible.”

“You are so difficult to deal withuyasuyasha Magnus.”

“We will now go upstairs and continue this game in my chambers.”

“Is that an order or a request?”

“Well, as nobody is around, a request.”

“I am glad you still play by the rules.” She said smiling.

“The fun of being the one who has the power is that I can change them when ever I want.” He said smiling, while he approached the lounge. His nearness accelerated Kagome’s heart beats. “It would very much please me to carry you in my arms.” Without waiting for an answer he swept her in his arms and began walking out of the triclonium towards the stairs. Kagome put her arms around his neck, creating that way a friction between her left breast and his hard chest. Her nipples erected and her grip around his neck tightens. His powerful arms holding her legs, to the high of the thighs. She could feel at her bottom his hard rock cock, going up and grazing her with every step he climbed in two and two. A warm feeling began to spread in her belly going under, reaching her between her legs. They finally reached his room and closed the door behind them. Inuyasha didn’t put her down though; he took her to the mirror where he stood with her still in his arms.

“Look how beautiful you are.” He said as he turned her towards the mirror. The hem of the stole was up, letting her rosy lips coronate by a raven curly nest, see. He slowly, began to put her down, making her slide over his body. He made her feel his sex on her open, both moaning, as she finally stood on her own feet, but never letting their bodies separate. The image she saw then would be printed in Kagome’s mind for the rest of her life. He so tall, she so short compared to him, he so dark, she so white, he all muscle everywhere you looked, she so soft and curvy in all the right places. They couldn’t be more different and yet... They where the same: Wild, passionate, possessive, and dominant.
Kagome could feel his erection pressed on her back, his breath on her neck as he bowed to whisper in her ear.

“You see how beautiful you are Kagome?” He asked her huskily as his hand ascended from her waist towards her bare breast and began massaging it. When Kagome felt his big calloused hand grab her breast, she made a quick inhale.

“I only see you and me, we are beautiful.” She answered as if in a dream. She couldn’t get a coherent thought in her head, even more, she didn’t want to think, she just wanted to feel. His hand kept playing with her breast as he said: “Let me show you how beautiful you are.” He tugged her nipple making her moan, and lean her head on his shoulder. She looked up. She wanted for him to kiss her, but he had other ideas on his mind. She looked back at the mirror when he began to fondle the other breast through the stole, making her feel more and more aroused. The weird feeling between her legs had flew now replaced by a pool of warm liquid as she watched their reflection. It was sinfully erotic. Her right hand went to her back and felt his manhood. Inuyasha groaned and pressed his hips even more so the hand would be trapped between their bodies, making her feel the whole length of his desire. ‘My God, he is huge!’ That was the last coherent thought her mind manage to form as she felt his right hand tracing a downward path, towards her most private area. As the hand reached her, Kagome grabbed it and take it away from her sex, their eyes meeting at the mirror, but this hand was not one to be stopped, and as a finger met his goal, all her intentions were left forgotten as a wave of pleasure run her through. Never stopping his left hand’s fondel with her left breast, the finger caressed the button of meat again, this time erupting a growl like noise from its owner. Inuyasha felt his manhood twitch as he felt her grip tighten around his penis, making it pound as blood filled the head and veins popped at the sides. He had never been this aroused in his life. He continue to nudged the clitoris, feeling her getting wetter and wetter, until he finally slipped his finger inside her. ‘Jupiter, she is so fucking tight!’ He began emulating the act of love while his finger went in and out.

By then Kagome was moaning and had closed her eyes, making the sensation more powerful that way, her breaths coming out in short gasps, while she sobbed: “Oh, god” over and over. Her head was laying on his chest and was wildly shook it from side to side. She wanted for him to go faster but somehow she new that if he did the pleasure would end more quickly. Her growls had increased their volume, almost reaching a scream level, not that Inuyasha mind it. He wanted to hear her scream his name as she came for him and only for him when he’d give her, her first orgasm.
She was feeling it, she didn’t know what but she knew it was close. Suddenly as Inuyasha’s finger entered her one more time, and as it did something snapped in Kagome, shattering her in a million pieces, her orgasm so intense that she arched her back, bucked her hips violently against Inuyasha’s hand and screamed his name in pure bliss.
Inuyasha felt her hips pushed towards his hand and held her tightly to feel every and each contraction of her internal walls. After a minute, he took her in his arms again and looked down at her. He bent his head and kissed her trembling lips, as she hugged him and let him explore her mouth as he had done with her intimate part a few minutes ago. As he ended the kiss, he murmured against her lips: “That is a small part of the pleasure we will share. Now that I have pleased you, is your turn. Do you think you can keep my interest with your intelligence or will you have to use your beauty to succeed?” he challenged her.
He walked to the bed, climb up the steps and put her down on it. He then took his tunic and lied down next to Kagome, his shoulders resting on the pillows at the headboard. She looked at him curiously but with admiration, he was a splendid male specimen. Letting her eyes wander up and down, she noticed one thing: The man was a giant! His legs were long, so were his arms, not forget to mention hard rock muscled. His chest was wide making the orb hanging from his neck small, he had some slight curly hair adorning his pectorals matching the blackness of his hair... Her gaze laded on his phallus, obviously he was dark haired too, erected like a marble column topped by red velvet. ‘Alright! Kagome, get a grip, another minute and you’ll be drooling.’ She rose to her knees and bent her legs to sit on top of them with her hands on her lap, she seemed to be almost praying.

“Inuyasha,” She began to speak in a slow manner so he wouldn’t get lost. “My name is Kagome Higurashi, I was born in London, Londinium, in the year 1772 of our Lord. I went to Aquae Sulis, although we called it Bath because of the ancient Roman baths that were built seventeen hundred years ago. One day as I was walking through town I saw an antique shop, a place where they sell old, ancient things, antiquities, and I entered. I was surprised to see a Roman helmet dated from the first centur I t I tried it on, but you see, I forgot I was wearing my wig so the helmet got stuck, and as I tried to take it off, I became dizzy.”

She lowered her eyes as she thought of what had happened to her. She continued talking as if to herself.

“I think I fainted, but when I didn’t touch the floor I began to fall into space. And the first thing I noticed when I recovered my consciousness was that I was about to being run over by your horses in the race. You see, I didn’t know I had travelled back in time so I thought you were all just foolish men in disguise playing little boys games. However when you ordered the soldiers to tie me up and put the slave necklace on me, I realized that it was real.”

Inuyasha watched her beautiful mouth as she talked, her full red lips mo, bu, but it wasn’t the way her lips moved that had him entranced, it was the words coming out from it that amazed him. He was the luckiest man on earth. His slave was not only the most beautiful woman he hadr mer met, but she was also capable to tell stories, entertaining him with her humour and intelligence. And the best of all, no man had ever laid finger on her, not even one, he was the first and only man that had ever touched her in that way and if it depended on him it would continue to be that way. His eyelids slowly lowered as the noise of her voice lulled him to sleep.

As Kagome finished talking, she waited for him to say something... Anything? Why wasn’t he saying anything? She gazed up to see him and her jaw fell. He had fell asleep on her? But as the thought came it quickly went. ‘He must be really tired. Today’s training was exhausting for him, he had to cross the river two times.’ Her eyes went down his body again and saw what was before a lethal weapon was no longer so threatening but none the less it could be be called small. She saw his hand resting near her, its palm up, and she rested her own on his to compare sizes. His hand was two times bigger than hers and rougher, Kagome was about to remove her hand, when she felt his hand squeezed hers in a soft subconscious grip releasing it at the second. Kagome threw him a glance to see if he was still asleep, to sigh when she noticed he was in a deep slumber. She wanted for him to make her his, but to awake him, would be a very selfish thing for to to do. With a last longing glance and a sigh Kagome climbed down and walked out of the room towards hers, to get some sleep.

*Ornatrices: For the ones who would like to know how its pronounced I’ll try my best.: Or- na(like the name “Na”dia)- tri(like tree)-ces(like says)

*Manumitted: The latin term to denominate Sanio would actually be Liberta as she is a freedwoman but for a slave to be liberta she must be manumitted so it’s the same. Manumitted comes from the word manumission. You have two types of manumission but as this(formal) is the one Sanio has I put this definition. Manumission — performed and witnessed by a magistrate — bestowed full Roman citizenship upon a freedwoman/man, with the exception that a freedman could not hold public office. Under the law, any children born to freedwoman/men after their manumission were also given the full rights of Roman citizenship, including the right to hold office.

*Connard: Idiot, stupid in French(remember Sanio is from Gaul/France) I think you all know the meaning of Mon Dieu, but just in case, it means “my god.”

*Meo culpa: My fault; my bad
