Pairings:

I OWN NOTHING!
…
The murky waters of the ocean flowed around a small woman with deep forest green eyes, sitting in the small traveling boat of hers glaring at what one would guess is an empty bottle of something. The woman wore black Capri which were slit completely down the outside parts of her legs tied off with a criss-crossing black string and tied of with a tassel like object. The woman's toned stomach was shown off because of her wearing only a red and white lace corset, topped with a white and gold cloak with some golden chains. One of the sleeves of said cloak were worn on her arm while the rest just hung loosely. On her other arm she wore a brown and black gauntlet which was currently hiding her pirate insignia; the thing that proved she had a run in and dealings with the East India Trading Company. She wore a worn out red plaited bandana with an anchor symbol; also sporting a large brown carrier belt upon her waist which held her leftover powder, ammo and poisons as well as a few small knives. She held a holster on her left hip for her pistol and hidden behind her overgrown cloak was a sheath for her blade. This woman may not look like much but in truth she was a true scourge of the seas; nicknamed The Raven Queen for her many battle rumors and her old raven tattoo located right above her pirate insignia and again on her left calf.
But anyway back to this legendary pirate glaring…
Apparently the woman lost her glaring contest soon after because she gives a defeated sigh, then spoke.
"Damn why is the rum always gone? Ah well, nothing to do but find a port now I guess." she stated, standing up, slightly wobbling as she did so.
As soon as she righted herself though she sensed something to the left side of her and turned around gracefully tipping her three cornered hat and placing it over her heart, showing respect to three hanging pirate skeletons with an old withering sign reading "Pirates Ye Be Warned".
After placing her hat back atop her head the Raven Queen or as few know her as her true name, Kagome resumed commandeering her temporary accommodation, until fifteen minutes later she reached her destination, … Port Royal.
…
7 years earlier elsewhere…
'Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap, we ravage and don't give a hoot,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.'
A little girl, around ten years old sang softly, a fabled pirates' song, which as of now she knows nothing of. The hidden meaning is lost upon her of the lullaby she so lovingly sings. She has her long hair tied back into a low pony tail with big curls at the bottom. She wears a graying dress made of silk. And is currently looking upon the gentle foaming waves on one of the most powerful naval ships of her time.
The girl appeared to be alone, lost in her own world, that is until she gasped aloud. Even after the appendage was no longer there the feeling of a cold and wrinkled hand upon her shoulder was still there.
"Quiet missy. Cursed pirates sail these waters. You don't want to bring them down upon us. Do ya?" asked a middle aged man.
"Mr. Gibbs, that will do." stated a naval officer aboard the ship.
"She was singing about pirates; Bad luck to be singing about pirates with us in this unnatural fog. Mark my words." stated the now known Gibbs
"Considered them marked." retorted back the officer "On your way."
"Yes, Lieutenant." said Gibbs walking away but not before mumbling
'It's bad luck to have a woman on board too… even a miniature sized one.' he finished taking a swig of rum, moving on towards another part of the ship.
"I think it would be rather exciting to meet a pirate." said the girl completely ignoring Gibbs.
The officer, who was earlier reprimanding Gibbs, smiled gently at the girl before replying, " Think again Miss Swann. Vile and dissolute creatures, the lot of them; I see to intend that any man who sails under a pirate flag or wears the pirate brand gets what he deserves, a short drop and a sudden stop."
The girl now known as Miss Swann looks on in confusion and turned to Mr. Gibbs knowing he would give her an answer.
And the older drunk man did not fail as he noticed her staring at him, he dramtically tilted his head to the side then put his arm slightly above his head and in the air by grabbing his tie; and allowed his tongue to stick out.
Another more revered man stepped into the conversation at this time and hastily interjected,
"Lieutenant Norrington.." the man panted " I appreciate your fervor but I'm concerned about the effect this subject will have on my daughter." he finished in one breath.
"My apologies Gov'nor Swann." said Norrington in a stoic voice.
"Actually I find it all fascinating." said Miss Swann
"Yes," mumbled her father "that's what concerns me."
And with that the three men walk away leaving young Miss Swann to look out into the sea once more. Her peace at gazing upon the ocean was short lived however, as the ship began its trek more than the slightly calm waters began making its way towards her. Something or rather someone was floating in the water.
"Look! Over there! There's a boy in the water!" she screamed pointing out of the ship. Causing everyone, Norrington in the lead of the group to drop what they were doing and go towards the governor's young heir.
"Man Overboard!" yelled a random member of the crew.
"Well what are you waiting for?" question Norrington "Haul him aboard. Haul him aboard!" he yelled
"He's still breathing." said Norrington after the boy was brought on deck.
"Mary Mother of God…" whispered Gibbs gaining the attention of the crew who then began whispering all at once.
"What happened here?" one of them questioned
"Probably had a mishap with some powder that's all" said Norrington.
"Lot of good that did 'em" said Gibbs receiving glares from the lieutenant and governor, "What everyone's thinking' it; I'm just sayin' it. Pirates!" he finished
"No, no Norrington is right, it's probably just an accident." said the governor
None of them noticing how Miss Swann walked gently over to the fallen boy, carefully observing him not heeding any attention of the orders the Lieutenant was barking out.
"Elizabeth, I want you to accompany the boy. He'll be under your charge."
"Yes father." said Elizabeth walking towards the cabin where the young boy was being held.
Once the soldiers left the cabin Elizabeth walked over to the boy and started to caress his face and brush his bangs away from his eyes; until she notices something on his neck and follows it down with her hand barely touching his skin.
As she finally reaches his chest she picks up the medallion and brings it up to her face to examine it better. As she traces the patterns of the coin she realizes what it means.
After a gasp "You're a…you're a pirate." she whispers with the coin still held in her hand
Right after those words escaped her lips the boy moves and grabs the girl's arm which holds his medallion. Not that he realizes it he just looks at her curiously gasping for breath.
"It's okay. You're safe now. My name's Elizabeth Swann."
"William Turner."
"It's alright Will I'm watching over you." she whispers just as Will passes out again.
Elizabeth hears footsteps and quickly turns around hiding the medallion behind her back waiting for the one who was walking towards her.
"Have you found out anything?" asks Norrington
"His name's William Turner." she said a little too quickly then adding, "That's all I found out."
"Very well." mumbled Norrington and then he walked out of the cabin
Present:
'What a strange vision a well at least I know when I finally meet up with that boy and girl; they'll keep things interesting.
'Now where shall I stay for th-' thought Kagome before being run into someone.
Only to look up and see a boy around seventeen years old on the ground in front of her; scrambling to pick up the box and its contents he just dropped.
"Watch where the hell you're going next time, brat." said Kagome in a harsh voice and getting up and walking past the insolent little whelp.
'Little kid better be lucky he was so cute and will bring some entertainment in my boring old life.'
ONE WEEK LATER
A man, with long black and braided hair hidden by his pirate hat, stands atop the topmast of his dingy, over looking and coming to a port.
Just as soon as one would get a good look at his masculine yet majestic stance; he jumped off of the mast and onto the deck of the boat only to grab a bucket and start to empty it of all the water it had accumulated.
He only stops however when his boat goes by three pirate skeletons with a sign right next to them saying 'Pirates Ye Be Warned'. As any good natured pirate would he tips his head downward and takes his hat off only to place it over his heart then wave in their direction.
Now noticing how close he is to port the handsome man climbs back onto the topmast and awaits to land in Port Royal.
Upon gazing at the small port town the man allowed a satisfied smirk to grace his face. It only grew as he got closer to land and he began humming a familiar tune.
"Yo ho, Yo ho, a Pirate's Life for Me …"
