Whoooooooooo. I lub pirate stories, so I decided to write one myself. Pirate terms will be at the bottom of the chapters if you don't get it, saavy?
Aheh, welp in this one I'm aiming for my usual Sess/Kag pairing, but of course his crew will be going after Kags too.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any Inuyasha characters.
The young woman's ebony and blue tinted hair swirled haphazardly in the shifting wind, as her ship hurtled onwards, pushing past the powerful waves. Her crew stood behind her, and starred off into the direction she was facing. Soon enough, the silhouette of a ship seeped past the thick fog. How the woman did it was beyond them. She had led them to every single victory, and had stolen every piece of finery from the unfortunate ships that they happened to stumble upon. Where she kept the treasures was a secret she would entrust with no one, and every pirate yearned to know. The crew quickly scattered, running along the deck, shouting orders and readying themselves at their positions, while their captain stood calmly at the forecastle, apparently unfazed by the approaching rival ship.
Her face was set to a blank stare, and her tanned skin emitted an unearthly glow, even in the foggy mist. Suddenly, her hand came up, stopping next to her head, then she brought it swiftly back down. Cannons erupted, and hurtled towards the offending ship, and the crew hastily reloaded their weapons, waiting for their captain's next orders.
"Captain Kagome!" Her first mate and best friend, Sango, hollered. "They have returned fire!"
Kagome frowned. If they wanted a fight, then they would get one. Turning sharply to face her crew, she shouted "All hands on deck… prepare for battle." A cheer erupted fromthe crowd, and they held up their curved swords, thrusting them into the air enthusiastically . Kagome glanced back to the oncoming ship, the only rivaling pirates who had ever dared detest them. A smile tugged at her rose lips, and she quickly unsheathed her own sword. Sticking the blade between her teeth, she expertly shimmied up the main mast, and positioned herself at the top. Scanning the deck of the second ship, her gaze paused on a blur of silver hair. She had heard of the ruthless leader, with silver locks and golden eyes, surely this had to be him.
As soon as their ships were aligned, boards came crashing down and Kagome's crew flooded onto the second craft. Kagome smirked, before flinging herself from the mast. Her wavy tresses billowed out behind her falling form, and gasps erupted from the shipmates. The silver haired man turned as his fellow crew pointed towards the sky. He could vaguely make out the shape of a figure, before it came crashing down on him.
A triumphant shout erupted from her lips, as the man and herself rolled across the deck, each grasping the other from the impact. Kagome used her momentum to stop with her right knee, and she grinned victoriously as she came out on top. Straddling his waist, she wasted no time to thrust the pointed blade at his throat. "Gotchya." She mocked dryly, and he did the last thing expected from the proud and supposedly stoic demon.
He smiled boyishly, exposing his pointed carnies, while the white-dog ears perched on the top of his head twitched cutely. "By all means my lady," he replied, amusement laced in his voice, "you can have me. I rather like this position."
Startled by the cocky statement, Kagome could only stare down at the still smiling youkai. Finally gaining back her composure, she growled threateningly and pressed the blade closer to his throat, only earning a laugh from the demon. Eyeing him warily she asked with as much monotony as she could muster, "You are most certainly not what the rumors have implied… Captain Sesshomaru."
Kagome was shocked beyond believe when his hands quickly came up to grip her thighs, a little too tightly for comfort. Thrusting his legs forward, the demon was pleased when a gasp slipped from her full lips, and she fell towards him, her face coming within just inches from his own. Her sword was sent flying from her grasp, leaving a thin cut on his neck. Just as he was about to open his mouth to comment, a deep, and very unwanted voice interrupted him.
"I believe you've caught the wrong demon, love." The voice rang out, instantly stopping Kagome from slapping the perverted demon and blasting him into oblivion with her miko supremacy. Both her, and the youkai she was currently seated on arched their necks to the intruding voice. Kagome gasped and she looked from each of the two demons. "You… you…" She stated dumbly, confusion overwhelming her features.
The demon who she now assumed to be the real captain Sesshomaru rose an inquiring eyebrow and smirked mockingly. "I?" He repeated , causing Kagome to flush a pretty pink and Inuyasha to gape at him. What had happened to his stoic half brother? Was the bastard actually… flirting with her!
Kagome quickly scrambled to her feet, leaving a pouting Inuyasha sprawled across the wooden planks of the ship. Her eyes darted across the ground as Kagome searched franticly for her beloved sword. A smile graced her lips as a silver gleam caught her attention. Shoving her way through the clashing shipmates, she slowly made her way to the weapon, only to be stopped by an arm around her waist.
Jerking her head up, she glared ominously at the youkai, which he replied to with an amused leer. Leaning towards her ear, he whispered smoothly, "No prey, no pay…" Kagome's eyes widened and she instantly began struggling against his hold. The demon only tightened his grip and brought up a clawed hand, hastily, he pressed his middle and forefinger to her pressure point, successfully knocking out his only rivaling enemy.
Short chapter… but hey, I'm pretty sure that I've proven it's pretty much impossible for me to write anything longer then 2000 words.

No prey, no pay: Pirate's didn't get paid (obviously), so they used this term when they stole their own prize, or treasure. For those who don't understand, it means Kagome is his prize.
