Chapter 1: Island Bound
The waved created sprays of water on the faces of crew and passengers alike as the huge 200 foot vessel, Destiny's Star trekked northward; en route from the Philippine Islands to the native country of Japan. It was a common sail between countries so the captain and crew members aboard weren't concerned or surprised by the waters or weather.
The deck was bustling with expert sailors maneuvering and making sure the vessel continued to work and got back to port on time with no problems. Few passengers remained on deck as the sky became gray and dismal.
Two of the passengers were small children; one of which was balancing on the railing of the ship while the smaller was trying to make him come down.
"Inuyasha! Get back down here before you hurt yourself!" The smaller girl of nine pleaded.
"You're not scared, are you Kaggie? It's not so hard!" The older boy of ten taunted as his footing remained balanced; even while being sprayed by the ocean's water.
"Inuyasha, that's enough!" An older male voice chastised. Both children turned around to see the boy's father coming out, not looking too pleased. Dressed in a black suit and tie; with his long silver hair in a ponytail at the nape of his neck, he was one of the important passengers on board Destiny's Star. His deep and powerful golden eyes stared directly at the boy. "Get down and stop encouraging this foolish behavior towards little Miss Kagome!"
Inuyasha immediately obeyed and jumped back down on the deck and faced his father. "I'm sorry, Otou-san."
The father's face softened and bent down eye level to the kids. "I'm sorry, son. I just want to get us all back to Japan in one piece, okay?" Both children nodded.
"I can't wait to go back home!" The nine year old Kagome said gleefully. "How much longer will it take us, Uncle Taisho?"
"Not too much longer, another three or four days." The older man had taken in the small girl after her parents died tragically. Her father he knew well so Inu no Taisho took the little girl under his care. Kagome looked a lot like her mother; with her shoulder length midnight black hair; lively brown eyes that held so much love and care for others and a blue summer dress with a hat to match. She was only a year younger than his son but Inuyasha and Kagome got along well; like best friends.
He turned to his son. Inuyasha looked a lot like himself; with the same colored hair but mischievous ten year old honey colored eyes. He was only a few inches taller than his small companion but the boy always made sure little Kagome was safe and okay. The white collared shirt with black pants in boots did not match Inuyasha's natural playful yet daring personality but he had to look nice for the voyage home.
"Now I know you two are bored but try not to cause any trouble." The man stood up and what he saw made his eyes narrow. The vessel was heading into a deep patch of fog that looked dangerous. "I have to go talk to the captain. Inuyasha, keep yourself and Kagome away from the railing and head down below deck."
"Yes, Otou-san." The boy knew when to listen to his father and did not dare disobey him. He took Kagome's small hand in his own and led her to the stairs where their rooms were below the deck.
When he saw them go down the steps, Inu no Taisho made his way to the captain's quarters near the bow of the ship. He went down the wooden steps leading to the cabin and saw the captain sitting at his deck; his face deeply troubled.
"Captain, do you know we are headed straight for a fog bank that looks thicker than pea soup?" He asked as he closed the door.
The captain's blue eyes looked up from his reports. "Yes, I am aware of that, Mr. Taisho." He pulled his thick black bangs from his face and sat back in his chair. "I just got a weather report stating to take extreme caution while sailing through it. It would be very easy to get lost if we abandoned ship for whatever reason." The young leader stood up and looked out through his circular windows.
"What are we going to do?" Mr. Taisho asked. "There are about 15 other passengers; including myself and my two young charges. I don't want anything to happen to them."
The captain turned around slowly to stare at the businessman. " Yes, Mr. Taisho, I know. My men and I can sail through anything and have sailed through fog banks like these many times before but I assure you, everyone, including your young children, are safe on this ship."
Inu no Taisho only stood there; quite certain he heard the uncertainty in his tone and thought if it was actually safe.
The two young children; unaware of the dangers that lay above the deck were in the midst of finding something to do. Spotting a broom that lay still beside a door, Inuyasha got an idea.
"Hey look, Kaggie!" He got on the broom and gave a chilling smile. "I am an evil wizard! Mwahaha!!" He began to chase the young girl around.
"Inuyasha, stop it!" Kagome laughed as her best friend went after her.
They ran through lit hallways and passed unsuspecting passengers; having such a good time. Kagome was quickly running out of breath as Inuyasha gained on her. As soon as he tried to reach for the edge of her dress…
" Ah ha! That's where my broom disappeared to; by a couple of little thieves!" An old man's voice stopped them in their tracks.
The old man; with his short gray hair in a ponytail with the red shirt, black pants and waterproof boots that was required on the ship came towards them with a little anger and amusement in his light russet eyes.
"Ah, Oji-san! We were just having some fun!" Inuyasha got off the broom and handed it over to the sweeper of the ship.
"We're really sorry, Oji-san." Kagome bowed her head in respect; as she was taught to respect her elders.
"Ah, that's alright young ones!" He patted both their heads. "I was young once myself and got my hands into plenty of trouble." He took his broom and began to sweep as he listened to the young kids talk about their Philippine adventure.
Sometime later...
"Fire! Fire in the kitchens!!" Voices rang out chaotically all over the ship. The old man and kids stopped and looked around in fear.
"Come on, this way!" Oji-san directed the kids. They all headed above the deck to see that they were surrounded by thick heavy fog; so dense it was hard to see all the crew and passengers running around in a panic.
"Yoshi!" The old man turned to see his captain and Mr. Taisho coming towards them in a hurry. "Get these two on a life boat and get off this ship! The fire is quickly spreading!"
"Yes sir!" The old man known as Yoshi grabbed two little hands and prepared to turn the other way.
"Otou-san! What's going on?!" Inuyasha asked; as he saw his father slowly disappear. He and Kagome were confused and scared but did as they were told.
"Don't be scared, Inuyasha and Kagome! I will see you two later!"
Kagome was quickly becoming terrified amidst the shouting and unorganized chaos and tears began to leak from her eyes. She refrained from letting them fall. As long as Inuyasha was with her; she would be okay. She was sure of that.
Being led through panicked people; they finally found an empty lifeboat. Yoshi quickly lifted Kagome into the boat; followed immediately by her best friend. The frightened girl latched onto her best friend's arm as Yoshi got in himself and lowered them safely into the water. Once they hit the ocean; the old sailor grabbed the two oars and rowed away from the burning ship.
The children watched the burning Destiny's Star fade away; the voices and sounds from the ship becoming less and less until there was no sound but the waves around them. It was eerily silent as they continued into an unknown direction in the fog. Once he thought it was far enough, Yoshi pulled the oars in and let the waves guide them.
Inuyasha moved as the boat moved; his mind just registering what just happened. It was all a confused, jumbled mess. His best friend had her head on his shoulder; silently crying. She too, tried to figure out what happened on that vessel they thought was safe.
"We will be alright." The distraught children looked up to the old man on the opposite side. "I'm sure everyone got off safe and sound; including Mr. Taisho." His voice sounded reassuring so the young ones relaxed a bit.
"Yoshi-san, what happened? Was there really a fire?" Kagome's meek voice asked. Her companion rested his head on hers; as if to reassure her he was there with her and she was okay.
"I'm afraid so. A pot of unattended vegetables over-boiled and spilled onto the floor; causing the hot water and fire from the stove to spark out of control and turned the whole place into a blaze; or so I heard." He too looked a little shaken as his hands trembled on his lap.
The boat remained quiet for a good long while; all three in their own thoughts. That is, until they heard an echoing voice from afar.
"Inuyasha? Kagome? Are you there?" A deep voice cried out from somewhere in the fog.
"Otou-san!!""Uncle Taisho!!" Both shouted simultaneously. They were now alert; their hopes up again.
"Where are you?!?" He asked. "Are you okay?"
"We're okay! We're over here!!" Inuyasha cried out to him. The fog was still so dense he couldn't see more than a few inches in front of him but he prayed that they would be found soon.
"Uncle Taisho!" Kagome answered; waving her hands, hoping to catch anyone's eye.
"Ahoy, there!" Yoshi shouted. "We are safe! How about you?!"
"We are all okay. Just stay…" The voice was fading away as the small boat began to drift further away.
"Otou-san? Otou-san!!" Inuyasha cried out again. The voice in response was incomprehensible the further they drifted away.
"Uncle Taisho!!!" Kagome cried out frantically.
There was no answer; just silence...again. Their high hopes quickly faded away into hopelessness. Kagome's tears returned so she cried into her best friend. Inuyasha held her close to him; vowing to not let anything happen to her now, now when they were all each other had.
"I'm so scared!" She sobbed. Her hands held onto his shirt as her shoulders shook her frame.
"It's okay, Kagome. Nothing's going to happen to us. We will be okay, you'll see." He whispered into her ear. Now that his father was gone; alive but gone, he had to take care and protect his best friend from anything and everything.
"Yes, the young lad is right. I'm sure they will search for us once the fog clears up." It was becoming darker as more time went on. "We should get some sleep. We will figure out what to do when it becomes daylight, okay?"
The two young ones nodded. The old man got a blanket and draped it around the children while he found one for himself. Yoshi, Inuyasha and Kagome fell asleep; not knowing what lay beyond the ocean waters or what they were going to do.
A heavy bang was what awoke Yoshi the next morning. His eyes opened to bright and clear sunny skies. He sat up and beyond the boat he saw a few things adrift from the sinking. The heavy bang came from a big wooden chest. With hope for some food and water; he opened it up and browsed through it. There were articles of clothing; a pocketknife, a kaleidoscope and other personal affects.
"Damn, no food." He muttered. He took some rope and tied the chest to the side of the boat as best as he could.
"What's in it, Oji-san?" A sleepy voice asked. Inuyasha awoke to the sound of the chest door slamming. Kagome too was rousing from beside him.
" A chest. It could come in handy if we are adrift for more than a few days." He answered.
The small girl looked into the sky and saw cloudless blue skies. Even though she was scared, the calm, peaceful blue of the Pacific sky eased her; hope returning to her little by little. It was beautiful, she had to admit. The crystal blue water was clean and clear; so clear she could see fishes swimming below and beside the boat.
The boat went with the tide as the hours passed and the hot sun beat down on them. When another night came; the midnight blue sky was sparkling with billions of stars as far as the eye could see. The next day, same weather; same situation.
Kagome's tiny stomach grumbled for the millionth time. " Inuyasha, I'm hungry." She held her stomach as she laid back down. "And thirsty, too."
"So am I." Inuyasha agreed as he peered into the bright sky. "How long has it been, Oji-san?
The old man yawned and cracked his bony knuckles. "About two days, I think." His eyes constantly checked the chest to see if was tied securely. "I was sure that we would have been found by now…"
"I know we will be found! We just have to wait a little longer, that's all." Inuyasha convinced the old sailor and his companion; although he didn't sound quite so sure himself.
Kagome was getting weaker by the hour and wouldn't be able to keep up much longer. Her nine year old body was begging for some nourishment and all she could do was sleep and hope; things she was doing quite often since the sinking. When she turned her body once again; a line of green caught her eye. She sat up and saw what looked to be land.
"Look! Over there!!" She shouted; pointing to the land ahead.
The boy and old man looked and sure enough, there was an island not too far ahead.
"Thank Kami!! Land! There is land!!" He laughed happily as he grabbed the oars and rowed quickly towards the island.
The children were excited too; happy to see land for the first time in days. The three were so relieved to see this tiny paradise that they didn't know it would be a long time before they would ever see their native land or any civilization again. Nor did they suspect what lay on that desert island.
Yoshi is portrayed by Kagome's grandfather; just to let you know. This takes place in the 1980s's, as did the movie. So, what do you think? Let me know!! I will update over the weekend or even earlier if I can; as with my other two stories, The Moon & Star and Lavender Dreams.
Ja Ne for now!!!
