Prologue
.
The force of canon fire strong enough to shake the ship.
The intense heat and choking smoke as the ship is set on fire. Screaming men, women and children trying to flee as one by one they are slain by the bloodthirsty pirates running amok on deck. The sound of their wicked laughter ringing loudly in her ears. The glinting of swords coated with the blood spilled from both sides. The stench of death thick in the air.
Her mother being slaughtered right in front of her. Her still warm blood splattering on her young face.
…Mama?
.
.
.
Drifting in the ocean for days. Cold. Hot. Hungry. Thirsty. Alone. Surrounded in darkness. Wallowed in despair. Wishing for oblivion.
I want to die…
Then suddenly… a beacon of hope. Large, yet gentle hands finding her, holding her, nourishing her. Loving her.
Him.
It was him that saved her.
He saved her from the darkness. The despair. Death.
"It is all right little one. You are safe now."
He saved her…
.
.
.
She loved him.
"What is your name, child?"
She didn't have a name…
"Oh, we cannot have that now, can we? So, from today onwards your name shall be…"
She loved him.
.
.
.
She was in a forest. It was raining. The thick scent of grass, earth, rain, tears and blood mixed together in the air.
He was there with her.
Dying in her arms.
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no… not Him…. Please not Him… not him not him not him not him not him not him…
He wasn't supposed to be dying… He was the strongest person she ever knew.
He couldn't die.
Don't die… Please don't die… don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die…
She loved him.
Her fault. It was all her fault!
Her choked sobs of pain. The endless tears. His bloodied hand caressing her face. Him growing colder and paler with death as time continued to flow. His gentle smile for her marred by the blood on his lips. His kind words of comfort to her even though she didn't deserve any of it.
Her fault… All her fault… her fault her fault her fault her fault her fault her fault her fault her fault her fault her fault her fault her fault…
His soothing voice echoing in her head.
"Shhh…. Do not cry for me little bird… Do not cry… It is going to be all right… You are going to be all right…"
His hand falling to the ground, its loud thump forever etched into her memory.
His final breath. His closed eyes. His un-beating heart. His blood on her hands.
Her screams of anguish.
She loved him.
.
.
.
"From today onwards, your name shall be… Kagome."

End Prologue
LONG AUTHOR'S NOTE. BUT IMPORTANT I GUESS.
This is the latest story I'm working on. Like Tale of a Miko Kunoichi, it's more of an Inuyasha/One Piece fusion than a crossover. And it takes place in the same universe as Jump Then Fall. Though, this is somewhere in the past, long before Ace and Kagome got together.
This will be a story of how they got together, and it won't be easy. Ace and Kagome are people with very troubled pasts here, and they need to learn to move on from it before they're ready to be in a relationship.
So. This story comes in multiple parts. Based on my very rough planning I estimate about... 12 parts? More information about those parts can be found on my profile page. Also, each part can be taken as a complete story of it's own.
So... This is Part One. It's the story about how The Whitebeard Pirates found Ace and how he came to be on their ship. Including the Prologue, it's 12 chapters and about 21,500 words.
As for Part Two... *laughs* Hopefully it'll be out before 2016?
