Ch. 1: Unknown Circumstances

The rays of sunlight shone overhead; illuminating the room through the windowpanes. In this room, textbooks were strewn carelessly about a desk where papers and pencils also took refuge. Judging by the decor it was easy to tell that the overly zealous room belonged to a young woman by the pink bedding and the posters that hung on the wall of some popular boy bands. In the bed was the owner of the room, with her raven colored hair splayed out onto the pillow and her pearly pink lips slightly opened as she dreamed sweetly. However, all dreams must end and the alarm clock going off could destroy anyone's fantasies. The girl groaned when she glanced at her clock, the numbers blaring red. She yanked the covers over her head and reached a hand out to press the snooze button. The room fell silent as her hand traveled back under the covers where it was warm and cozy.

She was about to fall back asleep when she realized what the time that was beaming brightly from her clock. She jolted out of bed and said "Oh man! I'm gonna be late again!" She got dressed in her school uniform and brushed her hair out at the same time. You would think that this girl was late for school again but when she began to pack her boulder of a yellow bag, the story changed. The bag became full with a first aid kit, bathing supplies, and other essentials that would not be considered school supplies, not even the ramen. It seemed like she was packing for a camping trip to the lake. The girl hauled the bag around to her back and latched it onto her shoulders. She heaved it up to where it was comfortable and said to herself, "C'mon Kagome Higurashi; hurry up before he drags you back to the Feudal Era again!" She double-checked everything once more before she made the decline on the stairs that led to the dining room.

Kagome despised how Inuyasha would come to her time and literally bark out orders for her to hurry up. If she didn't do what he wanted then he would throw a wild tantrum and drag her back before she could even properly pack, and later he would have the audacity to yell at her even more if she didn't pack enough ramen. Not this time, nor any other time because if he did decide to do that again she would 'sit ' him until he made it toChina. Kagome got to the bottom of the stairs and passed the kitchen.

"Hi mom... bye mom" Kagome said as she hurried by.

"Kagome, aren't you going to have some breakfast?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.

Kagome slipped on her shoes and said, "I'm in a hurry, so not today mom. See you in about a week! Love you!"

She rushed out the door before she even heard her mother's response heading down to the familiar well. She opened the doors to the dark shed and went down the steps to meet her destination. "I finally beat him. Take that Inuyasha!" Kagome said triumphantly as she hopped down the well and instead of meeting the bottom, she was encompassed by a bright light that would lead her to another time; the Feudal Era. The light dissipated and when she looked up, instead of seeing the ceiling of the shed, she saw a bright blue sky overhead. Kagome steadied herself as she gripped onto the slick vines, hoisting herself up with her heavy luggage. She had to admit that it would be the perfect time for Inuyasha to show up so he could help her with the heavy backpack. No such luck, but she eventually made it to the top with a long drawn out sigh as she disposed of the bag. She was met with a light breeze that played with the hem of her skirt. It was early spring and the field that surrounded the well was colored with flowers of all sorts already in full bloom. The floral fragrance danced with the wind making her want to drink it in.

Kagome breathed in once more as she made her way down the worn path, her bag in tow. The path would eventually lead her to Kaeda's village but it would first take her through the woods and down the fields to the farmland, and finally into the village. It was a good walk but she didn't mind it because it allowed her to enjoy the scenery that surrounded her. She gradually made it into the woods and was well on her way down the path across some tree roots when she heard distant voices that trailed off the path. The voices were not to far away and curiosity got the best of her yet again. She wandered off the path deciding to investigate the commotion. Kagome set her bag down so she would not make any more noise then necessary as she crept through the brush. She looked over a berry bush down an incline and saw something she never expected to see so close to Kaeda's village.

It appeared to her to be some sort of army; completely made up of all sorts of different types of demons. They didn't look like normal soldiers because they had either broken armor or none at all, no weapons, or mounts. She wanted to know why they where all out in the middle of woods. Kagome crept further and upon a closer examination she saw that the demons possessed dozens upon dozens of human women. The women were chained to one another and led in a direction that would miss Kaeda's village completely. Though this was a good thing she wanted to know how she could help those women who obviously were kept against their will. Kagome jerked her head to the side when she heard the voices get closer. She ducked in the thick bush to conceal herself as several demons walked by talking in booming, boisterous voices. Kagome could see through the leaves and saw multiple breeds of demons, including lizard, dog, fox, and a few others she had never seen before.

"The boss says we need just one more raid before we can put these females out on the market," A dog demon said, explaining to the other slavers.

"I'm sure it'll be easy enough. Humans are such weak, pathetic creatures."

"Humans are weak, but their bitches aren't too bad to look at."

"Human bitches are fucking ugly but fucking them is another matter."

"That's true but we can't touch the women who're virgins, bosses orders."

"No shit! If you fuck 'em then the prices on they're heads would go way down. That means less money for us."

"Now that my comrade is a real shame because I wouldn't mind riding one of those females and teaching her what she's missing out on."

"You're a dog!"

"No shit."

The demons laughed and hollered at they're own pathetic jokes, but Kagome didn't find it funny at all; she was truly horrified at the conversation she'd just overheard. She couldn't imagine being taken against her will and having some demon mount her like an animal in heat. Kagome recalled hearing of demon raiders during a conversation with Sango. She realized these demons were slavers and they were kidnapping women from random human villages. Kagome knew she had to warn Kaeda's village just in case the demons decided to change direction and head that way. She took a step back, careful not to make any noise as she crept one foot at a time. She was crouched down and continued to back up until she felt something hard against her backside. At first, she thought it was a tree but she realized that it wasn't possible unless trees could get up and walk.

She looked behind her and saw a tall, slender demon with a face that was even more handsome than Inuyasha's. He looked like a fox demon with his golden red hair and green eyes that penetrated deep into hers. Kagome gulped as the fox demon made a grab for her however with sheer dumb luck she was able to dodge his arms and make a run for the well. She knew that the demons were a lot faster and she regretted leaving her backpack behind because it contained her bow and arrows. "A human girl! Grab her!" ordered the fox demon. Kagome didn't even look behind her to see if they were gaining on her. Her heart pounded so loud that it was the only thing she could hear. Her lungs felt like they were going to burst as she pushed herself harder then she thought possible. Kagome began running uphill causing her to slow down, she clung to tree roots and braches to avoid falling backwards. Even the mud seemed to grab at her and slow her down even more. She felt a pressure on her backside after a demon pounced on her, pinning her down and halting any further escape attempts. The wind was knocked from her lungs as she felt herself being dragged to her feet.

Kagome gasped as air filled her lungs once more. She attempted to summon her miko powers but they didn't seem to want to work today, she hated the fact that she was still in training. She gasped as she was thrown over the shoulder of the fox demon from before. "Hey boys, this ones' a keeper! Best lookin' girl we've caught so far!" He boasted as he made his way back down the incline with his prize in tow. "Let me down you jerk! Let me down!" She yelled out as she punched the demon's back. Kagome flailed trying as hard as she could to make the fox loosen his grip. "And she's a feisty one too," He added as he made it to the rest of the group. "Boss you should look at her eyes. I've never seen that color on any other human bitch. They're as blue as the ocean," A demon growled as he examined her face, his face distorted with anger. "I noticed that myself. She'll fetch a high price either way with just that one feature alone," The fox, also known as Boss replied as made his way down into the encampment. "Do you understand me! I said let me down! NOW!" Kagome screamed out as she punched him even harder, her hands going numb from the continuous impact.

The fox didn't even seem to notice but his grip around her waist grew tighter as he threatened, "Keep throwing a fit wench and you'll be in a world of hurt." "Oh yeah! What are you gonna do! I'll have you know that I'm a miko," Kagome bit out. The other demons smiled when Kagome met the fox's challenge. "I don't see any miko powers so unless you're the weakest miko I've ever met or you're a lying little girl. You keep acting like that and I'll be sure to beat you until you beg for death," The fox giving every indication that he was dead serious. Kagome instantly stilled when that threat passed through the demon's lips. She contemplated on purifying him but she was still new at her powers and had no idea how to call them forward or if she would even be able to control them. If they were going to work she was sure she would have used them by now. She cursed herself for being so untrained; she couldn't even purify the demons holding her captive. "Rui boss, why don't you just give the girl to us instead? She doesn't look like a virgin with that revealing kimono on. In fact she looks like one of those prostitutes that the human males are so fond of," A leering demon asked. "Prostitute! I'll have you know..." Kagome was cut off when Rui bounced her on his shoulder to silence her. "You know the rules Hikaru, we check the females first and if she isn't a virgin you can have her all you want," Rui replied smirking. "I'm a virgin! I'm a virgin damn it!" Kagome blurted out as her cheeks became inflamed in a pink hue. "Silence bitch! I don't want to hear another sound coming out of your mouth!" Rui growled out. "Let's check her now so we can see boss. She's such a good lookin' human after all." The boss smiled, "She is that." The boss set her down and pushed her onto her back to where she was pinned by two other demons. "Keep her still," Rui commanded. Kagome began to struggle when she saw what he was about to do to her in front of everyone to see. She yelled, screamed, and protested when he came closer to her; and with the realization of what he was going to do hit her, she began to feel tears run down her cheeks. Rui's hand began to wander under her skirt and she screamed, "No! Inuyasha help! Inuyasha!" "Silence wench. I don't know who this Inuyasha is but he isn't gonna come to your rescue," Rui conveyed as his fingers wove around her cotton underwear. Kagome felt her body being invaded and she cried out once more, "Inuyasha!" Rui ignored her cries, as his fingers dove inside her, and he felt that thin wall of her hymen. He pulled his finger out of her just as quickly and saw the tears that steamed from her eyes, he didn't seem to care. He smirked at her as he licked the finger that invaded her and he said,

"She's a virgin."

"Are you serious?" Hikaru asked in abrupt surprise.

"It doesn't matter what clothes she wears Hikaru, she's a virgin."

"But boss I just don't see how that's even possible."

"Hikaru just shut up and put her in with the ranks."

"Yes Rui."

"And don't try anything with her because I'll know."

"Yes... boss."

"I'll be seeing you around wench," The fox boss said as he left to attend to other business. "You bastard!" She yelled out as the tears stung her eyes. She didn't want to cry in front of him or anyone else. Why couldn't she be stronger like Sango or the other women from this era? Kagome was yanked up off the ground and led to where the other women were being held. She was shackled and chained to the back of a long line that would eventually lead all of them to an unknown destination. Kagome felt disgusted because she could still feel where Rui had touched her, his hands had violated her rights. It then dawned on her, she had no more rights because she was now a slave because she had to be nosey and investigate something that was out of her control. Where was Inuyasha when she needed him the most? She should have waited for him while she had the chance, but now it was too late. She realized that Inuyasha was always there to meet her so that she would be safe. He did it all for her and she felt stupid for not waiting for him like she always did. Kagome felt the line moving forward through the wilderness of the forests pulling her along with it. The chains clanked together and the shuffling of feet could be heard all around her. They were being led away from Kaeda's village. At least they would be safe, Kagome thought, and that it was worth the sacrifice of her freedom.

Meanwhile back at Kaeda's village...

By now Inuyasha was beginning to panic. He felt like a woman fretting over a lost child who might not even be lost. Kagome was missing and it all started when he was going to go pick her up from her time. It was a routine now; go to her house, yell at her for an hour to hurry up and bring her back. He did it all that to make sure she was safe from one end of the trail to the other but when he confronted Kagome's mother; she admitted that her daughter had left hours ago, very early in the morning. So if she left such a long time ago, where was she now? She should have been at Kaeda's home already and they should be on the road to find more sacred jewels, but she was missing. At first he thought he might have passed her so he checked the village, but there was no sign of her.

Inuyasha checked the huts around the village because Kagome sometimes tended to the ill people with her advanced medicine, but when no one admitted to seeing her he realized that it wasn't the case. He checked the fields next because sometimes she was there helping with the crops to get food for their trip. Again she wasn't in anywhere to be found. The last place he could think of was the forest where Kagome went to gather herbs that could be used for medicinal reasons so just in case if one of them got hurt she could heal them. Inuyasha scoured the land, searching every inch, every corner of his forest. He just about gave up when he caught the sight of an all too familiar yellow backpack half hidden in the bushes off the trail. He jumped over to it and he could smell Kagome all over the place. Something was wrong and he could feel it deep in his gut. He put his nose to the ground and began to sniff out her scent which led down a hill to an incline.

Inuyasha made his way down to the bottom but once he did Kagome's scent melded into the hundreds of others scents that wafted around. It was a mixture of all sorts of demons and humans and he couldn't pinpoint Kagome's scent anymore. He checked the ground and saw that the dirt was packed down by what looked like an army of feet. The direction it pointed to was to the west. He wondered what could have happened to Kagome at this point to make her leave her bag behind. He could safely assume that she was still alive because there was no blood in the air to tell him otherwise, which he hoped was a good sign. Inuyasha decided to head back to the village to tell his friends what he found. On his way back he grabbed Kagome's backpack from the forest floor.

"I found Kagome's backpack you guys," Inuyasha stated as he entered the hut. "That's better then what we found. We looked everywhere and we still haven't found her," Miroku stated. "I think she was taken by someone," Inuyasha stated. Sango looked hopeful, "Then we still have a chance of finding her." Inuyasha shook his head, "I followed her scent and lost it when I got to the bottom of a hill in the woods. Her scent was muddled with too many other scents, but the odd thing was that I smelled a lot of demons and humans alike." "You lost her scent? Inuyasha you idiot!" Shippo snapped out as his emotions took hold of his child form. "Can it pip squeak! Listen I have a good nose but I just couldn't find hers. There was no blood in the air so I can safely assume that she's alright... for the moment. But I suggest we move our asses so we can find her before anything bad happens," Inuyasha finished with anger lacing his voice. "Now calm down all of you," Sango said. "Sango my dear, you sound like you just had an epiphany," said Miroku.

"Actually I did. This sounds a lot like something I was told about when I was still living in the demon slayer village. I think these are we are dealing with demon slavers. I mean with so many scents of humans and demons it could only be that one thing. There was no blood or sign of a battle to justify anything else. To track them down is almost impossible if the trail isn't fresh. They have a way to elude people who are trying to fallow them. I can say that my tribe was only able to track down a few," Sango concluded. "Out of how many raids?" Inuyasha asked. Sango thought for a moment, "Out of several dozen raids." "Not very good odds if you ask me," Inuyasha huffed out with agitation. Miroku sighed, "Does it really matter what the odds are? We have to find her no matter what. She is our friend and frankly without her we can't control you Inuyasha."

"ME! What about you monk? You're the one with that wandering hand of yours getting us into trouble at every turn," Inuyasha roared as he was about to attack Miroku. "Now calm down the both of you," Sango said as she grabbed Inuyasha by the ear and dragged him away from Miroku. "You tell'em Sango! Now lets go you guys before we lose Kagome forever," Shippo said as he hurried out of the hut, urging for the others to catch up to him. The rest of the group followed, making their way to where Inuyasha smelled her last. They made their way down the incline and saw a ravaged trail leading deeper into the forest where the vegetation became thicker and more encumbered. They didn't dare take Kilala into the sky because they wouldn't be able to see where the trail was and the last thing they wanted to do was lose it. They had to move fast though because with spring came rain and if it rained they would lose the trail anyway. With that they set out to find the woman they all loved.
