Ok everybody… the second chapter is good to go so have fuuuuuun!!!
Kagome woke up feeling cold and with a huge headache. She tried to move but found that she was drenched. "What the?" she said as she looked around, all that was to be seen though was water, water and more water. She screamed in annoyance as she splashed around while attempting to stay afloat, "why does this happen to me?" she whined "all I've ever wanted is an ordinary life but I-hey look a boat!" she said, her mind now working at a million miles an hour. "Swim" she chanted as her body moved as fast as the dress allowed her to. Upon closer inspection she saw that it was a ship and it was now heading towards her, "help!" she yelled, waving her arms.
Someone must've seen her as the anchor was weighed and a ladder was thrown down. 'Hmm, what a funny ship. It doesn't look like one of my fathers' she thought as she slowly climbed over the rim. What she saw made her gasp in both horror and excitement. In front of her were dozens of men all in shabby clothes and reeking of alcohol. Two of them stepped forward and latched onto her arms as they brought her closer to the filthy men.
"Let me go you filthy pirates" she yelled as she struggled to break free. Thinking quickly, she kicked one in the jewels and the other in the shin, and then she ran off as fast as possible.
She was a meter from the edge of the ship and thought that she was going to make it, but her plans were ruined when a man clad in white stood in front of her. She skidded to a halt and went to turn but was held back by the two who had caught up, the man in front of her smirked as a pirate knocked her out and she fell limply in the pirates' grasp. They laughed merrily and waited for the man in white to speak.
"Well done men, now back to work" he said as he lifted Kagome bridal style. "Aye aye captain" they hollered as they scurried off. The captain walked over to his quarters and placed her on the bed, "oh and boys, if any of you are thinking of interrupting me then you WILL be killed" they nodded as he shut the door.
There are times in a man's life when he cannot think or move for fear of ruining the moment, and for the first time in his life, the captain was experiencing such a moment. 'If I undress her and she awakens then she will cause a scene, but if I do not get her out of these wet clothes, she'll catch a cold' he thought as he looked at her. She was a beauty when asleep like that and the captain resolved that she would be silenced if she tried to scream. So he carefully unbuttoned the front of the dress and placed it on the chair by the fireplace to dry, then he unbuttoned her under-dress and corset, leaving her naked for him to see.
'damn this temptress' he thought irritated as he quickly covered her with the blankets and sat on the end of the bed, waiting. It wasn't long before her eyes fluttered open and she sat up quickly. She shivered and looked down, only to see that she was naked. "What the? I don't remember-wait a minute…" she said before looking up to see that a man with long, silver hair was walking up to her slowly. 'Oh my goddess… he's gonna rape me and kill me' she thought and was about to scream when she was silenced by a pair of warm lips against her own.
The captain knew what she would do once she noticed that she was without clothes and knew that he was to silence her. But he had not expected to kiss her, nor had he expected for her to respond. Once he broke the kiss, her eyes opened slowly and were filled with rage. In less then a second, her hand had made connection with his cheek and the captain knew that she would be trouble.
"YOU BASTARD!!! HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY FIRST KISS, THAT'S SACRED AND IS MEANT FOR MY BETROTHED ONLY and now he's going to hate me and I'm going to be a concubine for the rest of my life. And who knows what you've done to me already I mean for all I know I could be taken and I'd- oh god I'd have to stay with YOU!!! Damn why can't I just have a normal life…" she ranted as the captain closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead in pain. She stopped and looked at him worriedly, "are you ok? Do you have a headache?" she asked without breathing once in between. "Thanks to you wench, it has returned-" he growled but wasn't able to finish as she shot up and placed her hands on his temples, rubbing them gently. He closed his eyes in relaxation and placed his head in her blanket covered lap as she continued. "I'm Kagome by the way, Kagome Higurashi of the Higurashi dynasty. What about you?" she asked softly, receiving a mumble. "Hmm? Was that captain fluffy? Ok then, that's what I'll call you" though he tried to protest, her calming ministrations were causing sleep to claim him.
In five minutes he was sound asleep and she had gotten up to check on her gown. It was almost dry and her under-clothes were now finished, she put them on and waited for the gown to dry.
Finding a brush, she fixed her matted hair and tied it back loosely with her ribbon. Then she climbed back into the bed and snuggled up to the captain for warmth while she waited. Said captain did not awaken until sunset the next day and by then her gown was dry and she was fully dressed much to his dismay. "Why good afternoon captain fluffy, it is past lunchtime and the sun is now setting" Kagome said cheerfully as she poured him a cup of tea and gave it to him. "How's your head?" she asked
"Fine now that you've silenced."
"Ha hah... very funny captain fluffy but I'm glad you're better" the captain growled at what she had called him and she noticed the anger but said nothing. "My name is Sesshomaru and you shall address me as such, or you may call me captain. But do not insult me"
"I'm not insulting you CAPTAIN… I asked you before what your name was and you replied with fluffy. I'm only doing as you have ordered"
"You have a mouth girl, learn to keep it closed while on MY ship"
"I'm not like those women you know of, if I have an opinion, I will speak it."
"It'll get you killed"
"I'll take that chance"
"Bitch"
"Rapist"
"I have done nothing to you"
"You stole my first kiss"
"You kissed back"
"Well I'm not going to ruin it, even if I was kissed by you"
"This conversation is over, address me as captain or I'll give you to my crew"
"Fine you win, meanie"
"What was that?"
"Ooh I dislike you greatly"
"Well the feeling is mutual"
"Speaking of mutual, I'm hungry. Bye" Kagome finished as she stood up and walked out of the room, not paying any attention to neither Sesshomaru's puzzled face nor the dozens of pirates who were listening in to their conversation. "You'd better get back to work, he's going to explode in a minute and come looking for me and I don't want you guys to get in trouble" she said as she walked off. They nodded and they ran back to their stations. Moments later, an angry captain stormed out of his cabin, "which way?" he asked, frightening the crew. They all pointed to the bow of the ship and he ran up without another thought.
Once he had climbed the many stairs, his anger diminished when he saw her. She was standing at the very edge, singing quietly and not paying attention to Sesshomaru if she had noticed him. The wind was blowing her hair and her ribbon was coming loose, as it undid, she turned and noticed the captain staring at her. The wind blew towards him and he caught the ribbon before it flew away. "Thank you for catching it, it's very special to me" she said as she reached out to take it back but gasped when he turned her around and tied it securely.
Kagome blushed as she looked up into the captain's golden eyes which she had only noticed then. "Wow, you look like either a ghost or an angel." She said,
"I don't know whether to take that as an insult or a compliment."
"Take it as what you will, I don't mind" Kagome said as her stomach grumbled, her blush doubled and she smiled sheepishly. "I knew I should've eaten more for lunch" she cursed as she turned around and walked past Sesshomaru who caught her just before she left. "You could always ask me"
"Oh but I don't want to waste your food, don't worry I'll find my own"
"Shut up, you're dining with me got it?" Kagome poked her tongue out at his words and ran off, the captain following as he sighed 'what have I done?' he thought, very annoyed at the girl who was quickly changing him.
They sat down in the captain's quarters and found that food was prepared. It looked horrible and Kagome found herself tearing from the stench. Sesshomaru sat down and watched Kagome's reaction; she sat silently as Sesshomaru ate. "Are you not going to eat?" he asked as she shook her head.
"No thanks… I seem to have lost my appetite. No wonder you constantly get sick, this is horrible" she said, standing up and sitting on the bed. She looked out the window and saw land. "What is that place?" she asked, pointing to the island. "That is your land, we're bringing you back" he said, finishing his meal and pulling a chair next to her. She looked at the land and smiled sadly, although she had just met him, she was starting to enjoy the captains company and the crew couldn't have been that bad. "Tell me something, are the crew's conditions worse then your own?" the captain nodded and watched as she stood. "Would you be able to show me?" she said,
"It's not good to see them now" he replied in a harsh tone, but Kagome thought nothing of it. "Please?" she whimpered, Kagome felt sorry for them and knew that they would need her help. Sesshomaru nodded and lead her towards a door on the far side of the ship, when he opened it, the stench was almost unbearable. Everything went silent as Kagome cautiously stepped into the crowded room with all eyes on her, she shuddered as the men seemed to be enjoying her distress. Some moved closer towards her but backed off once a growl was heard, Kagome continued to walk until she reached another door, one that had inscriptions in blood. "Beware?" she said more to herself then to anyone else as she pulled the door open and stepped inside. A now surprised Sesshomaru followed but looked around cautiously.
