Hello everyone, I'm back once again with a new story. This time I couldn't help writing this story. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are the lovely pair of brotherly love (yaoi) and are one another's enemies as well.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the other characters, this also includes the title of 'Captain Blood' ('Captain Blood' is a book written by Rafael Sabatini, though I'm basing most of the story from the 1935 moive with Errol Flynn) which was my inspiration for writing this story in the first place. Rumiko Takahashi owns Inuyasha; the story line belongs to me.

Captain Blood

Prologue:

17th Century Japan

The high seas of Japan were constantly terrorized by a fierce pirate captain who was known for his ruthlessness and iron like fist. He showed absolutely no compassion to those he slaughtered to capture their ship's cargo.

It was said he had traveled throughout the world and had gone as far as to the other side of the globe. His ship, The Midnight Assassin was renowned and feared by every pirate of the high sea. She was known to out run or hunt down any ship that was stupid enough to challenge her.

And with such a captain of intelligence that wielded her, she was almost invincible to capture. She had withstood the brutal climates the sea has thrown at her and she and her crew had always lived to see another day.

Little was known about the crew and captain of the Midnight Assassin, it was told in countless of stories of those who had encountered the majestic ship and its crew, that the crew and captain were straight descendants from the devil him self. In other versions it was said the captain's eyes were of gold but shone with wrath and malevolence to those who looked into them.

The captain of the great ship was a man or youkai of mystery and of outstanding beauty, but the fact that he was handsome did not replace the actuality that he was merciless to those he came face to face with in battle.

His total of on slaughters had passed the limits of one thousand and fifty men and had sunk more than two hundred ships all in the dead of nights. He was never seen during the day, only night when the sea seemed to be tranquil.

The captain's name was anonymous, but if he was a man or youkai from hell, one would suspect his named said everything about him. It must have fitted him very well. But although no one knows his real name, he was known to everyone both on land and on the seas, as Captain Blood…

Chapter I: The Mysterious Pirate Captain of the Midnight Assassin, Captain Blood

April 7, 1685

Somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea

"Cease the goods, kill everyone on board and burn the damn ship to the bottom of the sea. I want absolutely no one to survive this ordeal understand bastards?! Now on with your orders or I will confine you to the same faith of this ship!"

All crew of the Midnight Assassin stood with their swords, pistols, daggers, bombs and courage ready. Each youkai muttered, "Aye, Captain Blood!"

Captain Blood glared once more at the crew they had over taken in no more than an hour ago. He stared at them with disgust.

Filthy humans, they all disserve to die a slow painful death, but I have lost too many good youkais this day. I will make their deaths quick. What is that wench of mine doing out on star board?

Rin, the beautiful wench, ward, and lover of the Captain stood at the deck with her eyes widen in horror.

"Damn, I must not have put enough sleeping potion in her tea to keep her asleep. RIN! What are you doing here, get inside now!" By the way she looked, it would seem he would not only have to deal with the humans, but with a fainted lover as well.

"Captain Blood what is the meaning of this?! You do plan to let these innocent men go right, you cannot kill them just because you feel like it! Let them go, you have captured their riches, let them live please!"

Damn, that is why I loathe having her around while I kill; she always makes me release these damn humans from certain death I am about to conflict. Why do I keep her around anyways?

"Argh, Rin get inside now and let me do what must be done! Youkais, prepare to-"

The captain was interrupted by the frantic crying of his love; he turned around and saw her sun kissed cheeks stained with her innocent tears, he despised seeing her tears. He growled in his throat and sighed in exasperation.

"Halt, we will let these damn ningens live, only for the sake of my love. Get back on board you worthless youkais now and prepare to sail."

The captain glared at the captain of the ship he had ceased and hissed through his teeth, "Considered yourselves with luck ningen for the kindness of my wench, if she had not been standing present you all would have surely died this night." He spat into the face of the trembling captain and stormed back onto his ship.

Once he stepped back onto the deck of his ship, he held the trembling Rin in his arms. As he held her, he yelled, "What are we still doing here?! I said we sail now not later! All hands on deck, hoist the sails, manage the desks! We sail for home."

Demons scurried away to do their duties with please. Although their captain was mordant and showed no other emotions besides sternness, they knew he was proud of his crew with just the way he ordered them about and addressed them.

Blood looked down at his love and caressed her cheek, he lead her away from the deck and made their way back to their cabinet. He opened the door for her, she entered but before he followed behind her, Blood addressed his first mate Jaken.

"Jaken, make sure no one disturbs us and give the crew their fair share of the cargo. Be sure no one out wits you or you will be whipped with the nine tails that I just bought back in Haiti. It's been dying to be used and your flesh looks appropriate for the task."

The ugly green toad youkai laughed nervously before his captain and nodded his head.

"Yes, yes Captain Blood, everything will go as you order it. Please enjoy your lady's presences. I will personally make sure no one is to disturb you both."

The captain flashed his fangs and responded dryly, "I plan to enjoy her company. Now off with you Jaken."

"Aye Captain." The first mate ran off yelling orders that the crew was to be paid their share of the riches, but they were never paid with jewels, gems, pearls, gold and silver coins, or fine silk. What they wanted was fresh flesh, human flesh of course and the captain always delivered what he knew would keep his crew satisfied and not commit mutiny against him.

Although they knew better then to try to betray him since he did not take betrayal too kindly. He closed the door behind him and made his way to his desk where Rin leaned against the window.

He walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders and whispered beguiling words into her ear. Rin giggled at the touch of her love's tender lips pressed against her ear.

"Sesshomaru, you and your fervent words of eternal romance. Please stop before my little heart ceases to beat and you are left alone in this cruel world." She placed the back of her hand against her forehead in a dramatic gesture.

A chuckle graced her ears and he said, "I would go to hell to save you my love if death were so cruel to separate us from each other. Never say such a thing, you are mine and I'll be damned to the bottom of the sea if death tried to steal you away from this Sesshomaru."

"My love please don't say such a thing, this world has a way of back firing. One moment we laugh and smile and then the next moment you are dead and no one sheds a tear for you. Let us enjoy one another's presences with tranquility."

He turned her around and kissed her sweetly. She pushed away from him and smiled brightly.

"What amuses you my love?" His voice was melodious; he released her and took a seat on his throne he had "bought" from a king in the Mediterranean Sea. He pulled her down and sat her on his lap.

He graced her neck and breasts with sweet kisses causing her to moan. All the while, his mind was plagued with something he had been told the other day. He ceased his kisses not able to continue his loveable gestures towards his love and said calmly in her ear, "Rin, I must work. You and I can have fun later on, but for now I must work. Run along and stay out of trouble. If any of the crew offends you with even a single stare, I'll kill them for you."

Sesshomaru smiled vaguely at her as he took her off his lap. He gave her one final kiss and turned to stare off into the endless scenery of the water. Rin pouted slightly but lowered her head.

"All right Sesshomaru-sama if you say so. I'll leave you then, oh wait. When do you think we'll arrive back home; in a couple of days or a few more weeks? I miss picking pretty bouquets of wild flowers and it's almost spring Sesshomaru."

The sad look she wore made him frown; he could both sense her sadness and see her frown in the reflection of the glass he stared out of. Without looking back at her he answered her.

"I will see what I can do to get us back home sooner then planned my dear. Now please leave me." He continued to stare out and he waited for her to run out of the room.

He heard her laugh under her breath and she ran to the door cheerfully.

"Thank you Sesshomaru, until later on in the evening!" She opened the door and ran out onto the deck.

The door slammed behind her and Sesshomaru turned around. He sighed in exasperation; he sank back into his throne and pulled out a knife from his side. He laid it besides a glass of red wine and reached over to his left to retrieve a leather bound book.

He flipped through the pages until he landed on page seven hundred and seventy-seven where a letter resigned. He removed it from its holding place and set the book back where he had retrieved it from.

The memory on how he had come across the letter played in his mind. It had been the other night when he and his crew had returned back from the Mediterranean Sea and had come across an old acquaintance of his. Captain Naraku of the Mirage; his ship was renowned for her speed and slyness upon the open seas.

He as well was renowned just like Sesshomaru for their merciless slaughters upon the ningens. But his fame was gained because he had slain a whole country in a single month that was now lost to the world.

Sesshomaru grasped the envelope in his clawed hands and turned the envelope seeing if there was something wrong with it. He sighed and muttered, "Why am I so anxious to read this stupid letter Naraku gave me? He said it contained something of high importance. Hn it had better be something important if not I'm going to have his head served on a silver platter."

Sesshomaru snatched the knife on his desk and tear open the envelope. He threw the envelope on the desk and held the letter. He stared down at it and blinked. The letter ran as follows:

Dear Sesshomaru,

I write to you in regards of some very significant news I have heard from my crew and the last place I and my crew rampaged. It is said that another sails under the same flag of the Western Lands as you and it is also said that such imposter is an inu hanyou. I can only wonder if it is your younger brother Inuyasha who has committed such blasphemy against you and your lands.

It would be imprudent if you do not check things for yourself. You and I both know only one youkai can sail under the Western Land flag not two. Settle matters with your bastard half brother before someone steals your chance. If you do consider hunting him down, I was told he sails down in the Caribbean and resigns in the isle of Tortuga.

-My most humble regards to you Sesshomaru,

Naraku

Sesshomaru glared at the letter as if it were in French, then he realized it was in French. He sighed and placed the letter back in its envelope and stood up.

Inuyasha, he dares commit blasphemy against me and my lands? How dare he do such a thing, he will pay for this even if I must travel to the Caribbean and rain terror to every island until I find him and hang the hanyou! Things will not stay as they are, I will find him and make him pay. But I promised Rin we would return home…my choice is either to make her happy or to hunt down my half brother. I…argh damn I would waste too much time dropping her off on land and then heading back to sea. She will have to come with us in our search for Inuyasha.

The pirate captain tossed back his silver tresses from his face and sighed once more in exasperation. He walked from behind his desk and crossed the room to the door.

I must deal with Inuyasha first, I'll be sure to make it up to Rin later.

Sesshomaru opened the door and stepped out under the glowing moon lit night. All red eyes turned to face their mighty captain. Everyone stopped what they were doing and knew their captain had something to say to them. Rin as well ceased what she was doing and ran to Sesshomaru's side. He gave her a small smile before face his crew.

"Gentlemen, there has been a change in plans regarding our course back to Japan, we will delay our arrival and set course of Tortuga. No one is to contradict my orders understand? Good all hands set course for the Caribbean now! We must be there before the weather turns against us."

The youkai's silver hair was lustrous under the quarter moon of the night. His eyes gleamed vividly and his pallor skin was enhanced. He locked arms with Rin and walked to star board to look over the glittering water.

Rin was speechless, she wanted to protest, but knew better then to go against Sesshomaru's authority. She leaned her head against his shoulder and sighed thoughtfully.

She could feel him running his fingers through her hair and humming a soothing tone to ease her astonishment. She faced him and smiled placidly.

"Sesshomaru I am not going to question your authority, but why the sudden change in destination. Do you have unfinished business with someone down in Tortuga that requires your undivided attention?"

"Rin, something significant was brought to my acknowledgement the other night and I must settle things between a certain troublesome hanyou from my past. It will not take long my dear just a few weeks and it'll all be over I can assure you. I know you miss land and the wild flowers, but please be patient."

Rin frowned in bewilderment; she identified right away what this would mean. It would be an open warfare between the two handsome brothers and they would fight to the death this time.

She furrowed her brows thoughtfully and recalled the last time they had encountered one another. It had been back off the coast of France in 1619; Sesshomaru had been doing business with a French youkai and when their negotiation had been settled, they had shared a drink of wine with each other.

That night it would seem life had planned for the brothers to cross one another's paths. Inuyasha and his crew of twenty had been anchored in the harbor of France and had decided to rampage the city for the night. They had caused such a commotion that in less than five minutes the whole city had been screaming with panic and terror.

Sesshomaru and the patrician French youkai had looked out the window and had seen what was occurring. Sesshomaru had been struck stupid at seeing his brother and had been outraged. The youkai besides him shook with anger and had retorted to Sesshomaru that bastard down there was his brother. Sesshomaru was washed with shame at having to say that Inuyasha was his half-brother, Sesshomaru and his crew had be exiled from France because of Inuyasha's rampaged and it had caused him one of the greatest profits he had almost had his hands on.

The thought made Rin shiver with distaste; she had never seen her captain so shook up with uncontrollable wrath before. It had frightened her to the point where she had fainted. Without her knowing, Rin began to tremble. Sesshomaru stared down at her and wondered why she trembled.

"Rin what is wrong? Has something been troubling you?" His voice followed with concern but continued to be melodious. He pulled away from her and stared into her lovely brown eyes.

She forced a smile and shook her head. "I'm fine Sesshomaru; I was just pondering over the past is all. Do you, uh, think we are going to come across Inuyasha, Sesshomaru?" She was risking giving away her thoughts with this question, but she needed an answer from him.

Sesshomaru frowned slightly but answered her question with discreet as he spoke.

"There is indeed a high chance Inuyasha and I will encounter each other on this voyage Rin, but what of it? Does the thought bother you?" His voice was slick and held an unease edge to it.

"No Sesshomaru it does not bother me in the slightest. I mean he is your brother and all, why should I worry about it?" Rin continued to wear her "cheerfully" smile and tilted her head to the side to emphases her statement. Her heart began to exhilarate from anxiety, her palms were sweating; she didn't know if she had hit a nerve or if he would take this tranquilly.

The corner of pirate's lips lifted and a rare smile formed upon his lips. It was neither a blissful smile nor was it an irritated smile; it was just an apathetic smile. He combed back a loose lock of her chestnut hair and kissed her cheek.

"You are tense Rin, has the eerie topic of my dear little brother brought back an unfortunate memory? It would seem so by the way you inquired about it my love. You bear in mind that dreadful night back in France…don't let that night and my reaction fool you Rin, things between Inuyasha and I have intensified more then what you or any one can image."

He traced her shoulder bones and kissed her neck, she smiled at his gentle touch. He looked up from her and moved away from Rin. He straightened himself up and cleared his throat.

He leaned forward against the railing of the ship and inhaled the fresh scent of the salt water. Golden orbs of rich sunlight stared out to the endless sea with a morose frowned fixed upon his lips. Rin stood besides him; she stroked his silver mane with a gentle rhythm of her fingers.

Sesshomaru glanced over his shoulder and raised his eyebrow in question. She smiled and said, "If my presences is a distraction to you Sesshomaru, I can leave you be. I can see you have much on your mind at the moment. I will see you back in the cabinet." Rin pulled her fingers from his hair, his tresses ran through her fingers as if it were silk.

Rin smiled contently at him before skipping off the star board deck and back to their room. He watched her go and felt a mixture of emotions. Sesshomaru glanced back to the sea and began to think on what he would say once he saw Inuyasha.

It had been more than fifty years since that incident back in France and who knew what would occur once they saw each other. One thing was certain, things would not end pleasantly. Many would be sure to die from their sibling rivalry. The thought made Sesshomaru frown with uncertainly, was he supposed to be happy to get to see Inuyasha again or was he supposed to look forward to their enouncement so they could kill each other?

As Sesshomaru, the world renowned pirate that could bring any human and youkai to their knees, pondered over his mix emotions, a thousands miles off, there on the shone of Tortuga stood a beautiful silver haired beauty holding a telescope in his clawed hands.

April 8, 1685

On the beach of Tortuga…3:47 a.m.

The bastard's heading this way; I can feel it in the zephyr breezes to the west. He fell for it; I knew bribing Naraku he would deliver "the rumors" to Sesshomaru. In a few more weeks I'll have back in my hands what he stole from me back that night in France.

"Inuyasha, do you think it wish to taunt your brother Sesshomaru in such a manner? You and I both know Sesshomaru is not the type to put up with any one's crap and especial you captain. I can only hope you know what you have done." Miroku, Inuyasha's first mate stood besides him with a bottle of rum in his hands.

Inuyasha faced his mate and snorted. Of course he knew what he was doing; if he didn't then he wouldn't have sent for Sesshomaru in the first place.

"You worry too much Miroku, I hate to say it, but yes I do know what I am doing. Sesshomaru and I have unsettled business and I want to settle things before he heads back to Japan. Bastard owes me for our exile from Japan, can you believe it he got us kicked out from our home! I have to make him pay."

Miroku swirled his bottle of rum idly before he took a drink from it. The liquor burned the sides of his throat but he swallowed the drink anyways. He shook his head and smiled.

"Ah Inuyasha, if I didn't know you so well from our years together on the high seas, I would have thought you were saying the truth. This rivalry or at least that is what you both want to call it, goes further then that night in France and our exile from Japan. If I didn't know better, I would have thought the whole purpose of this luring had something to do with your bizarre sentiments for your brother."

Inuyasha stiffened, Miroku was the only one who knew his truth sentiments for his half brother and he all ways hand an act of rubbing it in his face. It annoyed him, but he couldn't deny it. Inuyasha growled and felt him self blush a soft red.

"Put a cork in it Miroku I don't know what the hell my deal is with these creepy feelings for Sesshomaru, but I mean just as they came unexpectedly, they must dissipate sooner or later. They cannot plague me forever right, right?! Miroku you are a monk, help me damn it before things get out of hand!"

Miroku chuckled softly; he stared out at the open water while drinking some rum. He pulled out a silk cloth and dabbed the spilled liquor from his lips. He sighed and faced his friend and captain with miserable eyes.

"Inuyasha, yes I am a monk, a poor yet rich monk, but a monk nonetheless. But I do not know how to answer you captain. I cannot even begin to see how you could have developed such obscure sentiments for your brother. I would think you would be a lecherous hanyou since you my dear friend are plagued with the most exotic beauties any man has ever seen. And yet you reject them as if they do not satisfy you or your needs."

"They don't satisfy my needs Miroku for two reasons. One, they are not what I require and second I wouldn't know what they had to offer to me since I just pay them and have them go their merry way without me laying a finger upon them. I don't even know what I want; I just know Sesshomaru has what I want. Damn it, when the hell is he coming?"

Inuyasha could hear Miroku's exasperated sigh from where he stood, he growled and retorted, "What, can I not get impatient at his lack of quickness? I sent Naraku to tell Sesshomaru a month ago and what do I get? Nothing! I can not stand this any longer; we have been stationed here in Tortuga for three weeks waiting for him and nothing, nothing…Miroku do you think he will come?"

Miroku placed a firm, but gentle hand upon his captain's stiff shoulder and smiled in reassurance.

"Captain Nobelyou must be patient. Sesshomaru will come sooner then what you expect possible. If he took to heart the rumors Naraku spoke of, Sesshomaru will be more then determine to find us all and kill us. Look on the bright side though captain, you will get the chance to tell him how you feel and die by his hand. Now that is what I call so romantic."

Inuyasha ran his fingers through his silk-like silver mane in irritation. Miroku observed Inuyasha's anxious gesture and realized he had seen the same thing being done by Sesshomaru when he as well was nervous.

They share more in common besides their stunning beauty. They share the same nervous manners and I can only wonder if Sesshomaru-sama can return my dear captain's affections in return. Inuyasha is still unblemished since he does not want anything to do with neither a woman nor with a man besides his brother.

Well if Sesshomaru does kill him, Inuyasha deserves to know what it feels like to have sex and I will make sure he knows what the sensation is even if I have to get him drunk to 'do it' with a beautiful women.

A look of determination was set upon Miroku's charming face; he glanced at the depressed hanyou captain besides him and sighed.

"Inuyasha, he'll come and he might not kill you. Maybe he will return your affections, that is to say he has not mated with the lovely Rin-chan. But I would really doubt it thought, he likes her, but respects her enough to know she should be with her own kind not with a demon captain. So that would mean you have some chance of being with Sesshomaru."

Inuyasha frowned deepened, he felt as if he were going to be sick. He faced the monk besides him and smiled vaguely.

"Miroku, if I didn't have you for such a good friend, I think I would have died long ago or worst. I would have been captured by some crazed pirate captain and most likely I would have been his personal slave. Thank you for assuring me that Sesshomaru will come. I take your word that he will come, not in good terms, but nonetheless, he is coming."

Miroku smiled warmly, he handed his captain the bottle of band new rum and gestured him to take a drink. Inuyasha shook his head and muttered calmly, "You thanks Miroku, I'm going to bed. I have been keeping watch for my brother for seven days straight; I think this Inuyasha needs a break. Could you keep a look out for me while I rest?"

"Of course Inuyasha, I will watch out for him. Now go, you should really go get some sleep, you look exhausted. Would you like for me to send you some entertainment? Would you prefer Kikyou or Kagome…"

"Miroku, we have had this talk before. I want nothing to do with those wenches, all I want is to rest in peace and I don't mean dead type of rest in peace. Just sleep. Keep them away from my cabinet while I rest, I deal with them enough while I am awake. Hell I still have nightmares of them trying to fuck me, what kind of man what's to sleep in that manner? Not I is all I can say."

"Argh Inuyasha, you should really reconsider this proposal of neglecting those two fine beauties. In fact, you should really reconsider your affections for the crazed pirate Captain Blood in general. You are too good for him."

Inuyasha ignored Miroku's comment; instead he bid his first mate ado and walked back to the ship. The Shikon no Tama was her name and she was a true work of art. She was just as fast as the Midnight Assassin that was sailed by his brother. Both ships had belonged to their father and it was part of their inherence when he had died.

Along with the two ships, both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were presented with their father, Inutaishou's swords of his fang. Inuyasha was presented with Tetsusaiga while Sesshomaru was presented with Tensaiga. Both swords had gotten both brothers out of countless of battles and where still in their possession.

At the beginning Sesshomaru had been furious to hell with their father's decision that he had numerous of times had tried to kill Inuyasha to cease the sword that he believed was destined to belong to him, but when he had saved Rin, all that changed.

Rin, does Sesshomaru love Rin? I mean Sesshomaru is one of the top three pirates that are renowned for killing without mercy. I as well am one of the top three pirates on that list. Sesshomaru is the second on the list while I am the third while Naraku resigns at the number one spot. Sesshomaru has tried countless of times to surpass Naraku, but can't. I am pleased with my ranking at the moment. I just kill for the sake of treasure, thrill and adventure, but those two do it out of power, thrill of the hunt, loving the feel and sight of blood, hence Sesshomaru's captain name. And the riches, but what separates Sesshomaru from Naraku is the fact that Sesshomaru travels the high seas for knowledge and to make Rin happy with fancy jewels and wild flowers she can only see from other parts of the world.

Inuyasha stepped on board his ship and made his way to his cabinet on the other side of the Shikon no Tama. He dragged his feet and gradually made his made through the doors to his quarters. He undid his wine red cashmere jacket embroiled with gold lace and gold buttons. He placed it over his chair and took off his black leather boots and set them besides the bed. He removed his laced shirt and threw it besides his jacket. His sword and pistols dropped to the floor as he climbed on to his bed.

He folded his hands on top of his chest and shut his amber eyes to the nocturnal night. He had the curtains drawn open so the moon would shine through the massive window that over looked the sea. He sighed exhaustedly and soon drifted to sleep.

His over active mind created seemingly impossible things that he and Sesshomaru would commit once he arrived in the Caribbean. His mind had created a scene he had come to enjoy; it involved them both on the star board of The Midnight Assassin with the point of Toukijin pressed against Inuyasha's delicate neck.

Blood would seep from the wound and Sesshomaru would see it and smile placidly at him with gleaming gold eyes of sensation? He would withdraw Toukijin from his neck and lick the blood his killer sword had inflected against his brother's flesh. It would start off with a simple stoke of his tongue until he made his way to Inuyasha's partly open mouth and he would kiss him hard. He would part his lips and force his tongue inside Inuyasha's desperate mouth.

Sesshomaru would pull away with lust clearly written in his magnificent eyes and he would slash Inuyasha's clothes off with his claws to get to his flaunt flesh. But as things progressed in the dream, Inuyasha would always be interrupted at the best part of the dream when Sesshomaru was about to claim him, by the bickering of Kikyou and Kagome from outside his sanctuary.

But it would seem both Miroku and life wanted Inuyasha to continue undisturbed with his provocative fantasy of his brother. Inuyasha dreamed the rest of the dream with no one interrupting him. He would be sure to thank Miroku for keeping the two mikos out of his hair.
