Chapter 1:
Kagome looked out her window and stared at the ocean and the sun rising. Dinner the night before had been interesting – her mother trying to convince her entire family to come along with her, but of course it didn't work. It actually turned out different than expected – they got her to change her mind and stay. Kagome and her mother didn't always get along or agree with each other, then again what parent and child do?
On the edge of the horizon Kagome could see the navy fleet – they left right when the sun started to poke up and light the sky. Kagome was more than thrilled – not only was one of the most annoying people in the world out of her life, but with the navy gone, she was thrilled with the fact that there was a change that the Port of Seldovia could be attacked by pirates! She had always wanted to meet a pirate, ever since she was a little girl she dreamed of it… Dreamed about becoming a part of a pirate crew, traveling the seas and getting rich from the towns they raided.
She sighed and walked away from her window and threw on a dark blue rube and wrapped it around herself. She then proceeded to walk out of her room and down the hall to her brothers' room. She heard laughing inside… Not only her brothers but one of the maids. 'I better not be hearing this right now…' she thought to herself as she slowly turned the door knob. She walked in on her brother in the bed with one of their trusted maids Riana, nothing was going on, they were just laying in the bed laughing at each other. "And what do you two think you're doing? Riana, I need to speak with my brother."
Riana nodded and got off of the bed and walked out of the room. "What were you doing Souta?" Kagome asked her brother while tapping her foot on the ground."You're too young for stuff like that."
"Kagome, I'm 18 ya know… I'm not the young boy that I used to be…" Souta said pouting… His sister always had to ruin the fun. "You're just jealous cause I'm with someone and you're not." Souta said snickering. He found it funny how he had girls pouring themselves all over him and then there was his sister – 20 years old and never even kissed a man before… She was too bitchy in his opinion for someone to be able to handle.
"You know that's not it Souta. I'm your sister, I have to look out for you. I have nothing wrong with… you liking girls or girls liking you… Just not in the early morning please! Some people do want to come in here and say good morning without… you know."
Souta couldn't help but laugh at his sister; her cheeks were turning a light pink. "You should see yourself right now 'sis, you are turning soooo red!"
"Shut it." Kagome said angrily and stormed out of the room. She hated it when his brother could get on her nerves so easily. She walked down the stairs and outside where the fresh sea breeze ht her face, making her hair blow in the wind. She loved the morning air, how it could calm her down in just an instant.
"Inuyasha!" A man yelled from the main deck of a ship. "The navy has just left the port! What is our course of actions?"
A tall man was up at helm of the boat with a smirk on his face. He was handsome for being a pirate, had long silver hair, amber colored eyes… A very muscular build, yet not too muscular. "We attack at nightfall." Was all that he said and there was cheering aboard the ship, which only made his smile larger, showing that he had fangs… that he was part demon.
Kagome spent her day out on the beach, soaking in the sun. She didn't know what it was, but had always been drawn to the sea… like it was a part of her even if she didn't want it to be. Before she knew it, the sun was starting to set on the horizon. Clouds started to roll in, and the sky was turning to a pinkish color… And before she knew it, the sun was down and the sky was dark blue, stars started to shine, and it seemed like it would be the perfect night…
"Kagome!" Her brother yelled from the house. "Get inside!" His voice sounded like he was in a hurry. Kagome quickly ran inside, wondering what was up… Everyone was in the main lobby – all the maids, butlers, everyone in the household.
"Take the everyone downstairs, Naishi. Do not let anyone in the chamber unless you know for a fact that it is me." Kioshi said to his wife, he then turned and looked at Kagome. "Daughter, come with me."
Kagome was a little shocked that her father asked for her to follow him… He barely ever spoke to her. "What is it father? What's happening?"
"Pirates. By the look of it it's the Dragon Lance. (A/N: if you have a better name… please do tell me) There is only one thing that they have come here for, cause it's the only thing that has value to them… And you my daughter, possess it."
Kagome halted and had a look of utter confusion on her face. "What could I have, that they possibly want? All I am is your daughter, nothing I have is of any value to any pirate."
"On the contrary, Kagome, you have something that every pirate in the seven seas wants… you have the key that will unlock the greatest treasure – that's why the navy wanted us to come along so badly, that's why Kouga had his eye on you… he wanted the key for he navy." He continued to murmur to himself as they walked down a dark hall…
"Dad, I am confused… what key…?"
At that second Kagome heard the doors to their house crash open and people running inside and men shouting. "Check everywhere! We do not leave until we find it!"
Kagome's heart started pumping faster and faster by the second. "Do they know I have it?" Kagome asked quickly, her pace quickening with her fathers.
He nodded his head. "It was to be a secret, but then your mother opened her mouth to the navy one day… And once the navy knows something, everyone does. I'm sorry my dear, but there is nothing I can do now to stop this… I knew of the danger that I would be putting you in by staying here… But it's no different than being with the navy… You will be taken Kagome. But never reveal where the key is! That is what you must do, keep it a secret…"
"Where is the key…?" Kagome asked, just a little above a whisper… She meant to speak louder, but it just didn't come out right.
They entered a room and her father shut the door and then took Kagome to a closet. "You will find out in time… You should have a feeling right now; a sense of where it is… It has been with you since you were a child… No one knows what the key looks like other than me and your mother, so please, once you find it, do not reveal it." He looked back and he heard footsteps getting closer. "No matter what happens… do not let the pirates know!" her father then closed the closet door and ran over to the window, where he opened it quickly and jumped out…
Kagome stood there by herself… In a dark room that was only lit by the moonlight shining through the window. She could feel her heart beat… She was scared. 'Don't lose it now Kagome… Don't let them know where you are…' She thought to herself.
The doors to the room opened.
Footsteps got closer and closer.
Then they stopped…
And the closet doors opened.
"Hello there, girly. You're comin' with us." One of the men said and grabbed Kagome by the arms and dragged her through the house. Kagome saw no one around and sighed with relief, knowing that they were all safe… After all, why would they hurt anyone when they had what they had came for…right? Wrong.
As soon as they stepped out of the house, Kagome cried out. The port was up in flames… there were bodies on the pathways… doors were smashed in; windows broken. It was all a mess. Kagome didn't think that it would be like this when pirates came, she imagined it something different… not so harsh on the place she grew up, not a slaughter. She then feared for her family. Feared for the maids that she grew up with, scared for the butlers… scared for everything. Thoughts of her family, of her father and her little secret ran through her mind and that's all she remembered before everything going dark.
Kagome woke up with the sun shining in her face. She sat up rubbing her eyes. "That was a weird dream…" She mumbled to herself. Then she heard the wind blowing… Seagulls outside. Water crashing against water. She opened her eyes and looked around. She wasn't in her room… She wasn't even in her house. Kagome felt her heartbeat quicken when she heard people talking outside the door to the room that she was in.
"Are you sure you guys grabbed the right girl?" A male voice said.
"She meets the proper age… From what she was wearing when we found her, she should be the right girl. I just haven't found the key on her yet, sir." Another answer. It was a girl voice however.
'A female pirate?' Kagome thought to herself, she never heard of a female pirate before.
"Well, hurry up and find it. It won't be long before others find out that we already raided the port and made off with something of value."
Kagome heard the person walk away and then the door opened, revealing a young looking girl, no older than Kagome herself.
"Well, good mornin." She said, a little surprised to see Kagome awake. "The captain will like to know that you are awake." She continued talking and walked up to Kagome. She was holding a plate full of food which Kagome couldn't help but stare at. "Here," the girl handed the plate to Kagome. "You need food in ya. Now, don't be scared, 'tis not poisoned or anythin' like that." She then walked out of the room and shut the door behind her. Kagome heard clicking and figured that it was a lock. She sighed and started to eat.
To Kagome, time inside the little room went by slowly… She didn't know how much time had gone by before she heard the locks outside the door clicking again, but it seemed like it had been an eternity. When Kagome saw the man who entered, she couldn't stop staring. He didn't look like any pirate she had read about. In fact, he seemed a little charming – in a stuck up kind of rich boy kind of way.
He looked at Kagome and walked around her, making sure to get a good look at her. "So, you are the Higurashi daughter?" He said, in a monotone voice. He reached up and ran his hand through Kagome's hair and brought it to his face and smelled it. "Definitely the Higurashi daughter." He said again in that chill voice of his. "Now, what is your name?"
Kagome didn't speak. She just stood there quietly.
"I asked… for your name." The man said again. He stopped his pacing and stood looking into Kagome's eyes.
"Once I get your name, you shall get mine. I want no business talking to someone who I do not know." She said coldly. She regretted that when she got smacked on the face. She turned and glared.
"You need more respect for the captain of this ship, wench." He spat and turned and started for the door.
"And you need more respect to your captives, Inuyasha – captain of the Dragon Lance." Kagome said. This got his attention and got him to turn around.
He chuckled. "So you do know of me. And since, you know my name… I think I now deserve yours."
Kagome smiled now. She was going to have fun with this. "You think wrong, sir. Once I get the respect I deserve, then you shall know my name. But I can assure you, it's not wench." Kagome could tell that she made the man before her furious.
"Rin!" He yelled. A young girl came in the room, it was a different one than before, and it seemed like she was more of a captive as well because she was not dressed like the other girl that came in before, she was dressed in rags. "Take her down to the brig. I'll get information out of her somehow."
The girl nodded and grabbed Kagome by the arm. "Come with me miss." She said quietly; almost quiet enough to where Kagome couldn't hear her. Despite the fact that Kagome didn't want to do what she was told, she listened – after all, she didn't really want to die…
