Hey, Pnkrockninja here! Well I got this idea because I love pirates and I love Inuyasha so I thought why not put the two together!? Anywhos, this is the first chapter of the story, the second chapter is already brainstorming in my head as we speak. It might be a while before I can get it up but it will arrive eventually! XD
Now on with the story!
"A Pirate's Life For Me"
Chapter One: Daydreams and Kidnaps
The night draped sky was ominously quiet. Everyone was home and preparing to go to sleep or they were already asleep, all but two, apparent female, figures walking the streets. Both seemed to sway as they walked, as if intoxicated, making tons of noise, if all was as it seemed. They were down by the docks getting the attention of quite a few scruffy men. Dog-whistles resounded along with a few "hey there's." The young women continued until they stopped in front of the biggest ship there, which happened to be a Navy ship. This wasn't just any Navy ship though, it was the S.S. Chariot, and the captain was famous for bringing in more pirates than any other captain in the land. He was often called away to capture troublesome pirates for bounty.
The two guards which stood before the ramp stiffened in the women's approach, until the girls were in front of them. They drank in the elegant appearance of the two, never seeing their faces. Both girls wrapped an arm around a guard, a gentle hand resting on their shoulder, and kissed their neck. The guards were too dumbstruck to acknowledge the girls slipping past them, continuing up the ramp. The two guards were never lucky enough to have time off to go out and see women, nor did they look the type to go out at all.
The females continued their way onto the ship and headed towards the stairs which lead to the under deck. It wasn't long before they found where they recovered stolen goods and where the brig was. A small shaggy dog sat at the safe distance away from the bars, the keys attached to his collar. A few prisoners watched as the girls came down the stairs.
"Hey Sweetcheeks, how about helping out an old man?" said one of the prisoners, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
"You talking to me?" the raven haired woman said, taking off the formal hat hiding her fair face, shining hazel eyes looking over to the man. "Because if you are talking to me," she continued, walking towards the bars of the cell, "then you should know to never call me Sweetcheeks." She finished pulling out a hidden sword and stabbing the man fatally. "Anyone else?" she inquired pulling the sword out of the corpse, letting it fall to the floor. "I didn't think so." She said grabbing a random cloth and wiping the blood off. She whistled and the dog came straight to her.
"Hey Benny, who's a good dog?" she cooed as she slipped the collar off. She let her hand get licked before the dog ran away. While the raven haired woman was killing the greasy man and getting the keys, a brunette could be seen talking as much gold coins as possible. A few small pouches were filled and hidden away in various places. She walked over to join the raven beauty. "Hey Kags, what are we going to do about these cock knockers?"
"I don't know, Sango. I believe we could let them go and let them reek havoc on this ship… or we can just kill them all." Kags stated, a few faces which had a gleam in their eye, fell as she spoke about killing them.
"I do believe I like that idea the best. You are wicked."
"I try." The one known as Kags said stabbing another prisoner. Sango unlocked the cell door and pulled out her own sword. Kags had pulled out a few daggers, throwing them each one hitting their intended target. Sango only got the chance to kill two. "You always get the fun."
"Maybe you should be quicker on your feet?"
"Har har!" Sango said sarcastically as Kags took out a pouch of gold and tied them to the keys. She then tossed the keys into the solitary cell where a man hid in the darkness.
"Why are you helping me?" came a husky voice.
"Lets just say I hate some arrangements which are being made, and revenge is bittersweet." And with that Kags left, running after the brunette known as Sango.
"Revenge, eh?" the figure hidden in the dark said grasping the pouch and the keys.
---------------------------------------------------------
Kagome sighed as she continued to look out the window of the carriage. She rested her head on her fist as her elbow rested on the arm rest of the door. She hated how she had to give up her mischievous ways. That was the last night of freedom. She thought. She sighed again, this time an irritated snarl was heard.
"Stop sighing of I'll-"
"Or you'll what? Throw me out of the carriage?"
"As tempting as that sounds, my father would have my neck."
"That's right, be daddy's little angel, Kikyo." Kagome stated sarcastically, which earned a snicker from the girl who was sitting next to her. Kikyo shot a glare towards the brunette. "It is not a laughing matter."
"I believe it is." Sango retorted. Kikyo snarled again and looked everywhere but the two girls sitting across from her. Kagome thought it was time for some good old annoy-the-hell-out-of-Kikyo-time.
"I say, Sango, how did we end up in the life of the spoiled and worthless?"
"I don't know, Kags."
"Then please tell me you know why we ended up in this good for nothing carriage with the queen of all the wenches!" Kagome said, mock cheerfulness in her tone.
"Sure I do." Sango replied smirking at the death glare her sister, Kikyo, was giving Kagome. "We are in this lovely, god-forsaken carriage because said queen of all the wenches is getting engaged to the king of the curs. We are along for this wondrous adventure because there is more room for us there than at daddies."
"Lord Naraku is not a… a… a…"
"Can you even say the word 'cur'?" Kagome interrupted letting her eyes slip back to the landscape.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A ship laid docked at the harbor of Kyoto. A meek looking male stood at the wooden ramp which led onto the ship. The name could be seen in an elegant script, Casanova. The teenaged appearance boy stood in front, a small scythe attached to a chain secured at his waist, twiddling his thumbs. He looked to the corner of his eyes where a familiar silver haired figure was coming towards him.
"Oh! Captain Inuyasha! Royals tried to get onto the ship but I took care of them real good." He stated jabbing a thumb over his shoulder to the three men in Navy suits bound together.
"I see… did you get any information from the bastards?" his golden eyes shifting to the bound.
"They kept saying this ship and its crew needed to leave or otherwise be put into custody, whatever that means. When I asked why they said the local lord is expecting a few guests and this ship put a damper on the look of their beautiful city."
"They didn't even say anything about the fact that we are pirates?" Inuyasha inquired, cocking an eyebrow.
"I was getting to that part, Captain! Then they recognized the ship's name, and since you are the most devious pirate on the seven seas, they figured out you were here and one of them ran off with the big one over there yelling to inform Lord Naraku and his guests Inuyasha the pirate is here! Then I knocked them out, and bound them."
"Captain Inuyasha, Captain. They never get the fucking captain part right."
"Captain?"
"So his guests are royals from Tokyo, no doubt. This could be interesting. Did you find out anything else, Kohaku?"
"Nothing except that Lord Naraku is engaged to be married to one of the three lady guests."
"Excellent." Inuyasha stated a smirk spreading across his naturally tanned face. He threw the supplies he just gathered onto the ship before turning back into town.
"Wait up, Captain Inuyasha!" shouted a few crew members running after him.
"I need you guys to round up some horses and find a decent knock out smoke. Tell that god-forsaken monk what I'm up to. Oh, and don't forget your weapons." Inuyasha stated continuing his way into town.
--------------------------------------------------------
The carriage-ride was dragging on and on. Kagome had continued to sigh and snap witty and insulting comments towards Kikyo. Kagome was not related to Kikyo, despite how much they looked alike, and she was not related to Sango. Her parents died when she was nine and since she had no living relatives, she was sent to the local lord, Sango's father. He gladly took her in and even treated her as if she was his own daughter, so in a way she was "sisters" with Kikyo and Sango. It would explain all the fights she gets into with Kikyo.
"You are an INDISPICABLE, UNDESERVING, UNRELIABLE-"
"Kikyo, be quiet!" Kagome hushed.
"What!?"
"I said shut up!" she commanded in a rushed whisper. She knew something was wrong. The horses were brought to a halt, but they were rather quiet for being commanded to stop by the reins.
"Why aren't we-" Kikyo started only to be stopped by Sango's hand. Kagome slowly got out of the carriage and looked around to find the coachman missing. She let her gaze trail to the horses to find them laying on the ground in a daze. She had her back turned to the woods and shut her eyes searching for any kind of noise. A few seconds went by, then a twig snapped. Near enough to disarm. She thought. She quickly spun around, opening her eyes and snatching the sword from it's sheath of the sneak. She stopped taking a fighting stance, sword held strongly in front of her, in front of the carriage door.
Just then, rustling came from the woods and five men surrounded in front of her, keeping a safe distance away. Kagome held her stance, looking at each one of them without moving her head. The one furthest left from her came at her, jabbing his sword at her. She grabbed the hilt and slammed her fist down on the man's elbow, making him completely release his hold on the sword. In one swift movement, she left a gash in the man's chest, rendering him useless. She now had a second weapon, and got into another fighting stance, both swords pointed towards the enemy. The man second to right of her came at her now. She brought down the sword in her left hand to block his attack, as the sword in her right hand slashed at his abdomen. He hit the ground as three more men came at her. Kagome blocked the first attack, spinning and slashing the second man as he didn't expect the defense. The first guy managed to jump back and away from the deadly weapon. Kagome took her stance again looking between the two enemies left.
"I see you guys can't handle a simple kidnap mission."
"But, Captain-"
"You can't even handle a small wench." Inuyasha stated stepping out from the woods. Kagome held her stance as the new comer, obviously the leader, had shown himself. Her eye twitched at the 'wench' comment.
"Why are you trying to kidnap us?" she demanded in a harsh tone.
"Well, I heard the Lord of the region was getting married to one of the Ladies who was coming into town today. What better way to make some money than to kidnap for ransom?" he stated calmly coming closer to the carriage. He got a good look at the raven haired female. I've seen that face before… he thought as a flash of an image from several months ago. That can't be her. This girl can't be the one who helped me off that bloody Navy ship almost seven months ago.
"Captain?" Inuyasha snapped out of his thoughts.
"Move aside, bitch, and you won't get hurt." He threatened.
"Over my cold dead body." Kagome hissed grasping the sword's hilts tighter, turning her knuckles white.
"That can be arranged." Inuyasha nodded sending the two men at her at the same time. She went after the one on her left.
"Sango! Get out here NOW!" she yelled. The door flinging open just at the right moment to slam into the other man coming at Kagome's right. "Perfect timing!" She complimented throwing Sango a sword.
"No problem." Sango stabbed the sword through the door into the gut of the male, who just ran into the door moments ago. Kagome was about to run her sword through the man, but he moved quickly enough to where he dodged the attack, grabbed her wrist which held the sword, making her drop her weapon, swinging her around to where her back was against his chest, a dagger barely touching her neck.
"Kags!"
"Hold you action, Kouga!" Inuyasha exclaimed before he could stop himself.
"Captain?" Inuyasha walked up to the man holding the fighting woman captive. He turned her head from side to side by her chin. Next he looked straight into her eyes. He was captivated by the light hazel outlined by a deep green. The fire that her intense eyes held intrigued him to no end.
"Hey, Captain Mutt-face?" Inuyasha was drawn away from his daze and looked up to his crew mate. He turned to face the brunette, holding the sword in a defense stance, completely ignoring the 'nickname' his crew mate gave him.
"Which one of you is getting married?"
"That would be me." Kagome stated, a pink tint to her cheeks from the gold eyes that she couldn't look away from only moments ago.
"You are, are you?" Kagome nodded, ignoring Sango's expression.
"Well, seeing as we already have you under control, we can leave. Unfortunately, you killed all my men I brought with me, so looks like your friend got off lucky." Inuyasha stated arrogantly. He sent a nod towards the man holding her, signaling to get moving back to the ship, Kagome in tow.
"Kags!"
"Sango, tell my fiancé I am sorry and tell my brother my room is to be switched and tell father the ball is under the tree." Kagome said quickly but clearly. She knew Sango understood what she meant, but the two guys leading her away did not.
"Oh, and tell Kikyo good luck!" knowing full well Kikyo was in that carriage listening to what was going on.
