How it all began

The waves crashed with an immense strength as a ship struggled to maintain its balance.
The winds roared and cheered as the battle between the raging sea and the unfortunate vessel continued as everyone aboard clung on to the nearby supports as they were their only lifeline.
A shrilling scream diverted everyone out of their current predicament as a man yelled, "NO KAGOMEEEE!".
A figure was soon seen to disappear in the raging sea after being thrown out from the deck.

Flashback~~~

"But why do I have to tag along, father?" asked the seventeen year old, her blue orbs boring into her father's brown ones as if begging them to immediately give in. "Kagome quit being so stubborn, dear. You know i have always wanted you to accompany me to one of my voyages. This adventure will expose you to a completely different part of the world. This island has yet to be discovered and I want to be the first one to be step onto its lands, unravelling all the mysteries hidden in its depths and who knows I may become world famous post its discovery!" calmly replied Captain Higurashi as he rolled a map and carefully kept it in his chest.
"Riiight... my Columbus wannabe dad." mumbled Kagome, rolling her eyes.
" Now now dear, I know you have at least one adventurous bone in that pile of 250 you got there. Boot that up!" encouraged Captain Higurashi.
"Err last time i checked it was 206 dad. I hope i didn't outgrow the normal limit", mumbled a now irate Kagome.
Captain Higurashi flashed a cheeky grin while the young lady sighed, finally surrendering before her ambitious father.
" So if this island hasn't been discovered, how come you've come across its whereabouts?" asked Kagome.
" A little birdie invaded my dreams last night, informing me about its coordinates." came the reply.

Kagome paled...

Later on~~

"DIDN'T THAT BIRDIE OF YOURS WARN YOU ABOUT THE SLIGHT CHANGE OF THE WEATHER DAD!" screamed Kagome as another horrendous wave crashed on the deck, not making their 'adventure' any more pleasant.
" But the island should be close by." mumbled the elder Higurashi as he scanned his map,turning it at every angle trying to break the code.
" Why do I even bother?" Kagome said, gritting her teeth.
" Captain, the weather has gone worse and there is not even any island spotted in the line of sight!" screamed a crew member, trying to convey his message over the roars of the waves.
" No! Its close by. Im sure of it." came the confident reply.
"But.."
"Try to hang on and just look around okay.. I had drawn out the map with utmost precision. The possibility of an error is highly unlikely."
" Aye aye Captain!"
"Guys, I think we have a bigger problem at hand!" Kagome shouted as she pointed to the source of her fear.
Everyone followed her shaking finger and gasped.
A gigantic wave was approaching their ship. Then everything happened in slow motion.
The wave swept away a figure from the deck as it was thrown into the sea who engulfed its prey like a pack of hungry wolves.
A shrill scream tore the thick mist of silence.
" NO KAGOMEEE!"
