Hey everyone, this is Trigunskitty saying that I have decided to start another story while also writing my other story: 'Drama, Drama, Drama, What More Could Happen?' This story is going to be apart of the sea life and adventure! A different change in scenery if I do say so myself! (from writing High school fics to the sea!) Hope you guys enjoy my new story!
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Inuyasha. Notice the 'I wish' part, so put down the bricks and those lawsuits.
Inuyasha: Keh, you again? I thought you threw us in the garbage after your last computer fried.
T.K: ...
Miroku: True, True. I thought you said that you didn't want to write about us anymore.
T.K: (A small vein has appeared at her temple) ...
Kagome: (Sips tea) Don't sweat it T.K, as long as you've returned, have some tea! (Offers said tea to T.K)
Sango: (Nod, Nod, Sips tea as well) Long time no see T.K.
T.K: (Sighs incredibly) Alright, I apoligise... could we just get a move on... I'm pretty sure the readers reading this want some action, not some petty talk of re-uniting companions.
Inuyasha: Feh, just don't ditch us again... wench.
T.K: (At the exact same temple, a vein appears ten times bigger then it appeared before) Kagome... the word.
Inuyasha: Eh?! Ah! Ah! No! Kagome Don't!
Kagome: Sit boy.
(Inuyasha's face hits the ground and T.K Sips her tea peacefully with Kagome and Sango. Miroku just happened to appear right beside both T.K and Sango and decided to work his magic.)
Miroku: Ah... I missed this for some time now! (Smiles giddily)
T.K/Sango: GAH!? You PERVERTED Monk!
Sango: (Grabs her Hiraikotsu and whacks him upside the head with extreme force.)
T.K: (Quite Annoyed) Let's get started.
Prologue: The beginning?
"Run away! They're coming! They're coming to slay us! The Pirates are at it again!" Screamed the post guard men as he ran back to warn the town. It was his duty to protect everyone in case something like this were to happen, and the time was now to act. The pirate ship which was harbored in the nearby cove had appeared once more, and they were bearing arms of war and pillage. If they were to easily sail into their port, all of their goods and supplies would be inevitably taken and also the lives of the people living there. Taking a sharp turn at the corner, he found himself paralyzed, and his body wouldn't operate for some reason. "If we had you tell the people of this port of our arrival, it wouldn't be easy for us to take over, now would it?" Malice had been soaked into that small talk as the sword he was holding was thrust into the man's torso. The man didn't have time to notice his own death, not even after he collapsed to the ground. The only thing that happened to make sense to the injured guard men was that a pirate had appeared and he was too late.
Cracking his knuckles, the pirate pulled out his sword from the dead guard and wiped it clean. "Now it should be easy, take this village like you did the others... Capt'ain Naraku." At the end of that, he looked towards the sea and saw his ship coming to harbor. It appeared that the ship was coming in fast, but then again Naraku didn't care much for his style of arrival. The ship turned to the side as it turned to a complete stop and men piled out from it's depths. The men which seemed enthusiastic about this was even more thrilled at the thought of the blood they were about to spill. If it hadn't been for the Capt'ains' plots of trickery and the need to kill the other pirate band... they would have killed many innocents in one fellow swoop.
Just when the men were getting anxious, a man in purple robes appeared at the side and stared at the pirate group before him. The looks of fear crossed their faces as he stared at all of their ugly, mauled faces, "Today, I decided to let you do as you wish... but if anyone of you so much as step onto the premises of the castle, I will lop off your heads. All of you." The tone of malice coated his words and he watched his men run away into the towns. A few moments later he heard what could have been angels singing, the blood curling screams of men, women and children filled his ears. "Ahh... yes, a perfect setting. It's like a dream come true... not really." Laughing at his own joke, he jumped onto the pier and slowly made his way to his target. The family of one of the most famous generals in the imperial brigade against the pirates. The general by the name of Koheki Tajiya.
Maids filed into the sleeping maidens' room as an alarm went off, "Sango! Dear you must escape from here," Coming out of her sleep, a girl with long chocolate brown hair rose. Her eyes were a dark brown and her skin was pale. Her covers were taken away from her as she laid emotionless for a short time. Her night gown revealed her curves all too well, but Sango wasn't paying much attention to her dresswear. She just simply stared in confusion as her maids dragged her out of bed and put her into that constricting corset and a proper dress. Sango felt her headache rise, but she noticed something was out of proportions. "They're fires everywhere outside! What happened during this night?" Sango asked as she was hurried out of her room and into a hidden passage. She knew of such a passage ever since she was little, it was made especially for her to get outside and away from the mansion sometimes. "Pirates miss." Sango tensed at the word. Pirates. She had hated them ever since she was little, ever since that day when they attacked Mothers' ship with Kohaku and... 'That's right... the only survivor was Kohaku... my baby brother. He doesn't remember, but I remember it to this day, and I swear, I will exact my revenge for you mother. Pirates will forever be hated by my blood.' Crawling through the tiny passage, she managed to calm her hatred for their kind and decided to talk with the maid. "Where is father? Kohaku?"
"You're father was... Kohaku is with the other maids getting away from here." Catching what had just been said Sango looked at the maid and replied in a quiet tone. "What... happened to... father... was he? ..." All the maid could do at the moment was nod and turn away for her eyes were trying to cry the tears that wouldn't fall. "A pirate intruded inside and demanded a fight against your father... and he was the victor. The evil pirate smothered your fathers' blood into the very ground he died upon. Lady Sango... I'm dreadfully sorry to have to tell you of this..." It was Sango's turn to shed a couple tears as she turned away from the lady following her. "Do you know the pirate's name who killed my father?" The maid must have shaken her head, for nothing was spoken out. "Alright... I'll find out who it was... and chastise him with my own hands." Clenching her fists into balls Sango crawled to the exit of the passage and helped pull out the maid following. Apparently no one else had followed them out of the passage. "What happened to the others?" Sango asked to the lady besides her, and the lady just dropped her head. "They told me to follow you, and they would distract the pirate that was coming. He was out to kill you and your brother." Sango grimmly nodded and looked back at the passage. "Au revoir, mes amies."
Grabbing the mistress's hand, the maid hurried Sango to reach the pier on the other side of the mansion. That would be where her brother would be waiting, but Sango would never reach the pier for her vision was blocked by lots of blood spewing from the girl leading her away. A sword from the side had proved to be her demise as it pulled away from the gasping dying girl. "Run... L-l-lady... S...a..ngo..." Watching her companion fall to the ground, she could only twist to see no one there. "Where are you pirate!" She screeched out. Her anger for the death of her people pushed her over the edge of reason. She was going to kill the man who ruined her life... she was going to kill him for taking away her father and pushing her family away from its each other.
"My, my... if it isn't the general's daughter. Sango Tajiya. What can you do? What can a 16 year old, who doesn't know the ways of a pirate do against me?" Sango veered around to meet nothing again, who was this guy? Something didn't seem right at all, maybe it would be wise to take into account of running? At least until she could find a weapon. She was rather defenseless at the moment, with nothing but a tight dress and something that constricted breathing like her corset. Taking a deep breath, she pulled out a ribbon which caused her normal hair style to fall and waited for it to cascade down her back then as quickly as she undid, she quickly put it into a messy ponytail and retreated.
"Sango... Why are you retreating? I thought we were talking?" As Sango ignored the mysterious man, she ran blindly away. If she could get to the pier in the back, maybe, just maybe she would be safe. Maybe there would be guards there to protect all of them as they sped off from the horrid scene that had unfolded. "Watch where you're going young one, or else you'll fall..." Widening her eyes, she hit the edge of the railing that was at the cliff. Why wasn't the path leading to the pier? Why hadn't she reached the pier and not this stupid cliff? Laughter filled the air and Sangi stiffened but turned around, her eyes saw something she wasn't expecting. A man was standing before her, the glaring red eyes that sent chills down her spine, the clothes that he wore gave off the feeling of malice and poison, and his sword was almost about to plunge into her rising and falling chests. Fear went over Sango as she stared in fright. His sword was out, ready to plunge into her as she almost began to hyperventilate. "I think our game of cat and mouse has ended, Lady Sango." The malice that sugar coated his words made her forget where she was, as if trying to take a step back, she found that she was literally pinned to the railing, and her options of what to do weren't benefiting her in anyway possible. "You were planning this from the start... weren't you. You planned that attack on the port and then you killed my father. You plan to kill me too? Go ahead, I'll die in honor." Talk, it was nothing compared to what she really wanted to do. All in all, Sango really did want to live, she wanted to live a peaceful life, find the perfect guy, (much to her distress) get married, have a family and grow old. She wasn't expecting her life to be shortened by some... pirate.
He took into account her words and smirked, raising his sword, he spoke out in a frightening voice. "Well then, die at the hands of my sword mistress." Pulling back his hand, he thrust forward at the girl and watched as she did something unexpected.
Sango was getting ready to die, she was preparing herself to, but when he struck out at her, her body made a quick reflex and she leaned back to avoid the onslaught. Only to be falling off of the cliff and screaming at the top of her lungs. Something in her throat caught and her screaming had stopped and she forced herself to look up at her alleged killer. She could have sworn she saw him say coward. Looking down at her other killer, she could only hear the words of malice fill into her head. "Lady Sango, I hope you enjoy your stay at Davie Jones' Locker." Laughter ensued after he had spoken and then nothing. Sango couldn't breathed much in her corset, but underwater, she didn't stand a chance. Her dress was too heavy to even try swimming up, and she knew she was on the verge of unconsciousness. 'Kohaku... Please... be... safe...' Losing herself, Sango was plunged into the depths of the darkness.
"Oi, Captain, when do you expect we be at the next town?" Came an inconspicuous voice to the side. The captain who had been steering at the time had turned to show his answer in silence. Apparently the young 18 year old male didn't understand where he was getting at so he spoke out for his benefit. "In the next hour or so. I want to get more information on him, and if I play my cards right, we should easily bypass the whole, "hey your a pirate, they're going to attack us," gig. If we go in disguise, I'm sure the general who's living there would be glad to offer us some info. And maybe even a place to stay. I heard he's compensating for something since his house is huge." At that the 18 year old laughed and stood up. With the sun behind him, his features were gifted with even more beauty. The bright light gave off the glimmer in his sliver hair and the little dog appendages that were attached, he also had the unusual color of amber tinted in his eyes but the way he stood gave off his attitude in one second. Arrogant, ignorant and an ass. What else could he say about the guy?
Sighing, he looked away from his companion before he could interrogate him for looking at him that long. "Inuyasha, do me the favor and tell everyone to get ready to land. I see the land now." Inuyasha just smirked and rolled his eyes. He couldn't believe that he lost to this guy... and now he regretted it because now he was the first mate, not the other way around. In the beginning, Inuyasha was the captain of the beautiful ship they were sailing at the moment, but when he was playing poker against the now current captain... well... you could see the predicament he's in. In other words, he lost, and the man that stood in front of him wagered his title, and so did Inuyasha. In the end, they ended up switching roles, but as long as the crew didn't mind, eh, who cares. What Inuyasha didn't know hough was that the man who won actually cheated, so...
"Inuyasha, quit dreaming about having sex with a girl and get a move on." This caused him to get out of his stupor and shout at his companion. He stood before him with his deep violet eyes, and his midnight black hair in a small ponytail at the nape of his neck. The smile on his face showed off his sense of humor... and pervertedness. "Miroku, why the hell d'you say that! I wasn't thinking about sleeping with Kagome! I just met the girl for pete's sake!" This only caused Miroku to smile, "Who said anything about Kagome?" The silver-haired male felt his face flush a deep crimson as she turned shaprly. "Shut up you stupid perverted pirate." As if in pain, Miroku grabbed at his heart, "You wound me my dog-earred companion! I wasn't the one thinking about it. YOU were."
Inuyasha just huffed at Miroku's comment and he was about to retort too if it hadn't been for Kagome walking up the stairs to the steering wheel. "Inuyasha, why's your face all red, and Miroku why are you laughing?" Inuyasha turned away before he could say anymore, "Miroku, go jump off the plank for god's sakes." With that, he took his leave and bounded down the stairs which Kagome just came up on. "Sorry Inuyasha, but that will never happen." Kagome smiled at the grumpy Inuyasha and turned to Miroku, "Hey, what was that about?" Shaking his head, he reached out and patted the girl on the head. Her raven hair felt silky under his touch, but if he were to think of it anymore, he was pretty sure Inuyasha would skewer him, much less kill him. The girl in front of him held a face of true bliss, one would have fallen for this type of girl... if Inuyasha wasn't around the corner. Her chocolate brown eyes held happiness and also comfort. He knew that he could rely on her if he ever needed a woman's advice.
"Say, Kagome." The girl looked up into his eyes and tilted her bubbly like head to the side. "Yeah what is it Miroku?" Smiling, he grabbed her hands in his and declared to her. "You want a raise?" Kagome felt her left eye twitch at the stupid comment. "Miroku, your brain is fried." Smiling, he took back his hands and put them back on the steering wheel. "I know. Inuyasha was telling me that I never offer any of the crew a raise, so now I can officially say I offered someone a raise." Kagome giggled at his justification. "Does that mean I get a raise?" taking one hand off the wheel, he put it on his chin and thought. Finally thinking of a solution he put his hand back on the steering wheel and smiled through his statement. "It's impossible, it's improbable, it's against my religion." Kagome raised her fist and pretended to be hurt. "But you're not even a religious person..." Her statement soon became a thing in the wind as Miroku turned to her with a smirk, "Or could I?" He answered back which caused Kagome to urk.
"What in the nine hells do you think you're doing captain. All of the crew is ready to embark on land. Heaven forbids we need it. Anyway, Kagome, what did this pervert say to you?" Kagome looked up at the new person and smiled. "Well Inuyasha, he just offered me a raise, then we started talking about religion. Isn't that correct captain." Inuyasha turned to his companion and only saw him nod. "WHAT THE HELL! I do all the dirty work here and SHE GETS A RAISE!" His face held more then a scowl on his face and he had raised his fist to whack the guy but before he did it, a woman's screaming threw him off. Kagome looked around confused as she was trying to spot out where the noise was coming from. "There! Miroku, Inuyasha! Someone fell off the cliff!" Leaving the steering wheel to no one in particular, Miroku left quickly to the side to see the girl falling. In mid flight, she stopped her screaming and saw her look up. When he looked at the edge of the cliff, there was a male there standing with a sword... smirking his ass off.
"Naraku!" Inuyasha grovelled out as he charged over to the steering wheel. "We'll kill that bastard for sure! Huh?! Where'd Miroku go?" The splashing sound besides the ship gave away the captain's location and Kagome rushed to the side. "Miroku just jumped over! I bet he's trying to save the girl from drowning! Inuyasha look! The town's a blaze!" Inuyasha looked to see the destruction that Naraku's crew caused. "Did... did he assume that we'd be on our way here and tried to get rid of his nuisance?" Kagome looked nervous but slowly thought that might be the reason. "What if everyone was murdered... like..." Inuyasha growled out as if trying to stop Kagome from remembering. "Stop it Kagome. I told you, I will slay Naraku for his dubious ways, and avenge your family... and Miroku's. That's the whole reason I became a tyrant in the first place... to get closer to him and his whereabouts and kill the bastard. Kagome..."
Kagome nodded an agreement and turned to where he was standing before. "He's gone!" Inuyasha growled out, "Get the crew, we're going to help out this port and kill any rouge pirates that try to harm anymore innocents." Nodding to his order, Kagome ran down the stairs and went through the men's corridors. Ringing a bell of battle the men stormed out to their stations. "You there get the anchor ready, you get the sails down, You guys get the canons ready, our time for revenge is upon us. Let's get ready for battle!" The men roared an agreement as Inuyasha stood triumphantly at the steering wheel. "Kagome, get mine and Miroku's sword from the Captain's and Co-Captains room. Until Miroku returns I'm in charge." Deciding to just go, Kagome went without futher hesitation, but her lingering thoughts were to Miroku. "You better be alive Miroku, you better not die on sea."
The next morning came as quickly as the fires had started. Inuyasha's crew had investigated all night and found none alive. Rested on a burnt seat Inuyasha fumed at the thought of not being able to help. "Damnit!" He replied, whacking the chair he was sitting under and... well he fell. Kagome stood right beside him as if to make sure he didn't do anything rash. Putting her hand in front of Inuyasha, she motioned for him to get up and he hesitated to grab her hand. Pretending to push off some dust Inuyasha just huffs out and gets up himself, "As if I need help getting up from a girl."
This got Kagome mad and she stomped her foot, "How dare you Inuyasha! I was trying to be helpful!" Inuyasha just crossed his arms and let one of his hands touch his hilt of his sword. "Notice the word 'trying' you put in there." This time, Kagome could feel the vein popping from her temple as she clenched her fists. "Oh you pirate! This is one of the reasons why I hate pirates!"
Something stirred behind Inuyasha as both him and her turned to hear the noise. As if expecting Naraku himself to pop up Kagome clung to Inuyasha's sleeve and he started to draw his sword. "Who's there! Come out!" The thing which had been caught decided to throw something at the male and it bounced off of her forehead which caused him to twitch in pain. "Ow! What the hell was that!" Kagome saw it as just a toy and nothing more. "Inuyasha... it's a toy... if it was a pirate lingering around, wouldn't it have tried to true... um I don't know, a dagger?" Inuyasha who had been rubbing his forehead crouched down and picked up the toy. "It look's like a child's spinner top."
"That's because it is! S-T-U-P-I-D!" Twitching, he swung his large arm into the bushes from where the sound had come from and pulled out a same fox child. "Who's this?" Kagome said as she looked into the kitsune's eyes. He looked scared from Inuyasha grabbing him out of no where. "Inuyasha, let him go!" Widening his eyes in anger he revolted at the idea. "How dare you tell me to let him go! He threw that God damn toy at me and he thinks he can get away with it. I think not. Kagome, this child needs some discipline." Sighing, she took the child from his grasp and snuggled him close. "It's okay, she said to the small, green eyed, red haired boy. "What's your name?" Hiccuping, the boy looked down, deciding upon if he should trust them. "The name's Shippou."
"Did you guys find someone? That's good." Inuyasha and Kagome both turned around to be faced with their drenched captain holding a young girl in his arms. She was unconscious and looked rather sad. "Miroku!" "Hey, you're alive." They both said at the same time, all the while Shippou just stared at the two new strangers. Until he recognized the person. "Lady Sango!" Jumping out of Kagome's arms, he dashed to the girl and ignored the shocked look from Miroku. "This is Lady Sango, I thought she had been murdered by Naraku like the men in his crew said! I was so scared... but she's alive! ... and it's all thanks to you." He said while looking up at the violet eyed man. "Wait... this is the daughter of General Tajiya, correct?" Shippou nodded and felt tears coming to his face. "I heard that Naraku slain him in a battle of swords... he had no chance!" Hiccuping, the boy was withdrawn away by Kagome as she hugged him. "We understand Shippou..." Inuyasha nodded as he stood up and walked over to Shippou. "Yeah runt... we all had our misfortunes with Naraku..." Miroku thought this was the best time to intervene, "And I suggest we stick together, with Lady Sango and get revenge for what happened here and also everywhere else he's touched." All nodded, except Shippou who didn't really have a choice. It was either go with them, or be alone in this bloodied up port. "Count me in..." Shippou said, and then someone began coughing. Looking down at the water logged girl, she whispered out. "Co..unt... me... i..n... too..." To their surprise, she was awake long enough to hear the part about revenge against Naraku, she just didn't realize that she was associated herself to her most hated enemy. Pirates.
