Blue eyes blinked open, taking in their surroundings. A pale, black haired beauty sat up on the silken cushions that she found herself laying on. She rubbed her eyes and yawned. Then, gazing around, she noted that she wasn't familiar at all with her surroundings. She squinted, trying to remember what had happened.
When nothing came to mind, she took in her situation. She was on the ground, strewn across white silk cushions, dressed in a creamy, white gown. The gown felt thin and slightly see-through. She felt something around her neck and reached up to feel it. She discovered that a band went around her neck and was buckled there like a collar.
Apart from her wardrobe, something else felt off. She reached a hand up and felt the top of her head. She found two kitty ears standing up proudly.
"AHHHH!" She began screaming loudly. She whirled around on the pillows, and as she twisted she saw a tail, too!
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed harder.
"Shut up!" a harsh voice thundered from behind her.
"EEEPPP!" the girl cried as she whipped around to see who yelled at her.
A tall man dressed in white with long, silver hair stood in the doorway with his arms crossed.
"Who…who are you?!" she gasped, clutching a pillow to her chest.
"Kagome, if you don't stop screaming, I will gag you." The man ordered, his eye brow raised.
"Ka…go…me? That's my name?" the girl asked, confused.
"Hai." The man sighed. She could tell from the expression in his eyes that he was exasperated.
"Do you not remember at all? Surprising. You didn't hit your head that hard." The man strode forward and knelt in front of her. She scooted backwards, away from him.
"No, stay away. I don't know you!" Kagome yelled at the man.
"Calm down, pet. This Sesshomaru will not tolerate your infuriating screaming any longer." The man, obviously named Sesshomaru, asked.
"Y-yes… Sesshomaru-sama… Please… W-where am I? What's going on? Why do I have cat ears and a tail? And why do I have a freaking collar around my neck?!" her voice rising with each question. His eye brow went up again.
"This Sesshomaru warned you." Kagome found herself gagged with a cloth tied around her mouth. She gasped, trying to move around the gag.
"Stop struggling or this Sesshomaru will not hesitate to restrain you further, little pet." He warned, gripping a handful of her hair behind her head. Her eyes widen in both fright and slight pain.
"When you are done struggling, this Sesshomaru will explain." He said calmly. Slowly, Kagome calmed down and stopped struggling against him though tears threatened to spill out of her beautiful eyes.
"Don't cry. You know this Sesshomaru cannot stand the smell of tears." At her frantic head shaking, he smirked. "Ah that's right, you don't remember. No matter. You will just have to relearn the rules, won't you?" he tightened his grip on her hair, forcing her to look right into his eyes. She quickly nodded her head up and down.
"This Sesshomaru is your master. You have been this one's pet for three months now. The collar is there to remind you and everyone else who you belong to. You are to obey any command that this Sesshomaru gives you. Understood, pet?" he asked. She shrunk back, frightened by his demeanor.
"This Sesshomaru asked you a question. Do… You… Understand… Pet?" he growled. She nodded, and although she tried hard not to cry, a small tear escaped and retreated down her lovely cheek. He glared at the small tear, but didn't bother to reprimand her. It was her first tear after all. But any more than that, and punishment would be required.
"Are you ready to behave?" he asked, letting her hair go. She nodded stiffly and lowered her eyes from his piercing gaze.
"Good girl." He seemed satisfied as he ungagged her.
"I'm sorry, Sesshomaru-sama." She said in a small whimper.
"Master."
"Huh?"
"You are to call this one Master."
