Pairing: Kagome/?

Rated: T maybe M


Drops of salt water splashed tenderly onto Kagome's pale face, as the young miko's vassal swayed back and forth with the water. Kagome's prone figure began to twitch at the cold spray of water. She brought her hand up to her face rubbing the spot the water had hit, then moving it to her eyes. The miko blinked as if to clear away the sleepy daze that had been present. She lifted her head from its place on the plank, as she had discovered, and with wide eyes looked around at the ever so endless mass of blue.

"Water? Wait how'd I get in water?" Kagome said slightly disoriented and confused.

Kagome jumped, startled, when what sounded like a cannon went off not too far from where she happen to be stranded.

"What the hell is going on? Where am I?" Kagome's reaction to the cannon firing didn't go over so well. She tried to stand up and as she did the little plank of wood that she was stranded on began to sway rapidity back and forth. This action ended with Kagome falling into the water and hanging onto her little plank of wood.

Thankfully for Kagome, the boat that had been shooting off the cannons or what she assumed was the boat that had been shooting off their cannons, were coming into sight.

"Great, at least I won't be in water anymore" Kagome huffed as she pushed herself up onto the plank, and tried kicking her feet off the edge of the plank, hoping to drift closer so that the people aboard would see her, towards the direction of the boat.

Although Kagome might have seemed like she was thinking clearly and acting with a calm mental state, in actuality she really wasn't. Since Kagome had opened her eyes to a blue ocean all around her, she had been freaking out. She could remember the fight with the demon monkey and Kikyo's obvious betrayal, but after that, after that all she could remember was that she had curled up; she didn't remember anything about getting stranded in the middle of an ocean. So to suddenly go from being in a dark space watching the ones you loved become more in endangered to waking up in the middle of in ocean, really wasn't what she had been looking for nor was it something that would make a person have a calm state of mind.

Kagome's legs started to ache from the rapid kicking, but the effort was paying off, Kagome was now closer to the boat then she had been previously. By the looks of the way the boat was headed, Kagome felt it was safe to say that they had spotted her.

Knowing that these people had indeed seen her, Kagome felt that it was okay now to pass out.

Heavy foot falls, was all Kagome heard as she came back to the conscious world. Heavy foot falls and, as she strained her ears, heavy panting, that actually sounded very close to her. Kagome reached out her aura to check for demons, finding none was a relief for once, Kagome was happy that she didn't have to worry about some demon attacking innocence while she hit snooze a couple more time so to speak.

However, before Kagome could go back to her sweet slumber, her body was roughly thrown across the room forcing her to open her eyes to see what could possibly be so mean to want to wake her up.

What she saw was nothing near what she imagined would be there. An overweight woman, with a spiked club, was smashing the wall open. Kagome's eyes widened as she took in this women, and what she assumed was the force she had used to destroy the side of the wall.

"Coby, what do you think you are doing?" The women sneered grossly at a young pink haired boy who trembled at the very sight of this enormous woman.

"Alvida, I-I-I'm-m s-sorry" The boy stuttered with pure fear rolling from his lips.

What Kagome didn't notice was the other boy who didn't seem to be affected by the girth of the women, Alvida, as the young pink haired boy, Coby, called her.

"Coby, you really are a wimp" A boy with messy black hair covered by a straw hat, a red vest, and blue shorts, stood up from his crouched location next to many delectable looking fruits.

Kagome felt useless as the boy and the women she now knew as Alvida, started what seemed to be a one sided fight. Kagome had no clue where she was, or why these people where even fighting in the first place, however none of that had ever mattered before when an innocence life was in the line of danger. The young pink haired boy, that she now knew was Coby, was that innocence, he was standing directly behind the large women who was about to come tumbling down on top of him.

"Look out!" Kagome screamed atop her lungs as she lunged for the boy, successfully pushing him out of the way of the current danger, however not having enough time to save herself.

The woman fell onto Kagome with a sickening crunch, as Kagome screamed out again, this time in pain as her ribs seemed to take a majority of the damage from the woman's heavy girt.

"Oh look I think I squished a bug, hahahaha" Alvida cackled heavily, as Kagome's screams, and stood back up to resume her fight with the boy who had, at this point in the fight, been wining by a long shot.

Kagome's eyebrow twitched with annoyance, more than anything in the world did she hate being called names, in which she is diminished.

"I'm not a bug, and I'm not something you can so easily squish, you ugly behemoth of a women." Kagome stood limply holding her side, slowly healing it as she faced the angered woman.

Kagome herself was beyond angry, if she had her bow and arrows with her this woman would be done for however, since that was not the case Kagome could only resort to hand to hand combat. In her case, since this woman was so large and wielded a powerful weapon, her only choice was the dodging until you find a weapon tactic.

"What, you can talk the talk but you can't walk the walk" Alvida cackled at what she thought was a very clever joke.

Kagome on the other hand was doing everything in her power to dodge. Eventually she ended up next to the boy with the straw hat who, had seemed to be watching her movements, with a rather large smile across his face.

"Wow, you're really good at that" The strange boy laughingly said to her as he admired her skills to dodge. Kagome could feel herself drop, metaphorically of course, as he complimented her dodging skills.

"Thanks, but if you have a weapon I'd be even better" Kagome smiled hopefully at the boy. If she could just get a weapon, then defeating this woman would be so much simpler. As the boy was about to reply Alvida smashed her spiked mace onto the ship deck next her deliberately missing.

"Perhaps you should pay attention" Alvida's eyebrow seemed to twitch ever so slightly at being ignored.

"Chz, you really shouldn't be so eager to lose, you know. It's not good for the soul." Kagome teased as she removed her hand from her side completely healed. She looked down at her side just to make sure, however once confirmed that her ribs were indeed healed Kagome looked up at Alvida with a sadistic grin.

Looking over at the boy Kagome nodded her head and turned slightly towards Alvida as she said loudly "Never mind, I don't think I will need a weapon after all." Kagome gathered her spiritual powers; a light purple mist began to build in her hands. Once Kagome was satisfied with the amount that she had gathered, she kneeled down low on the deck of the boat and sprang up into the air far above Alvida's head.

As Kagome was doing this the boy had stretched his arm back as far as he possible could, waiting for Kagome to deliver her attack before he dealt the final blow.

Kagome twisted herself in the air so that she would land on top Alvida in a crouch. Once landed Kagome trusted her palms forward delivering a hard blow to Alvida's shoulders. The spiritual power intensifying the thrust causing an almost paralyzing shock to run through Alvida's body stopping all movement momentarily. Looking up, Kagome saw the boy ready for his attack, so she leap up in the air again and landed gracefully by the straw hat boy.

The boys arm was stretched to incredible length, a length that Kagome didn't believe possible, however before she could say anything the boy screamed out "Gomu Gomu no Bazooka" and launched his stretched arm towards Alvida, striking perfectly.

Alvida was flung through the air and disappeared into the horizon. The rest of her crew were easy to get rid of, most of them willingly went back to their boat while other had to be more strongly persuaded.

With a large satisfied smirk planted on her face Kagome turned to the weird boy.

"So, I'm Kagome, Kagome Higurashi. What's your name and how, how did you do that?" Kagome asked with her mouth gapped almost seemed liked she was gasping at the boy in wonder at his amazing power.

"Chehehe, my name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm a rubber man." Luffy replied happily with a snicker as he stretched his cheek out so far for Kagome to see, that there was a physically possible way the boy could be normal.

"No way! That isn't- How is that even possible?" Kagome circled Luffy hoping to find a logical explanation to how this boy could ever possible be rubber,

"I ate the Gomu Gomu fruit, you know a Devil Fruit. How'd you do that thing with your hands? Did you eat a fruit too?" Luffy looked a Kagome in amazement, because although Kagome thought Luffy's powers were extraordinary he thought her powers were just as amazing.

"My powers are from being a Miko, I was born with them, but I have never, ever heard of a devil fruit." Kagome explained more confused than she was before, then she remembered she was no longer in her own era, for all she knew she could be further in the past or even the future for all she knew.

"Well Kagome, I don't know what a Miko is exactly, but if its edible then I like it." Luffy grinned as he made his way over to Coby.

"Edible?" Kagome whispered to herself at first. "Hey wait where are you going?" Kagome called after Luffy not wanting to be left behind in a place that she was not familiar with.

"I have to find a crew, see I'm going to find One Piece and become the Pirate King."Luffy laughed as Coby stumbled at his words.

"I plan to find a very strong crew, hmmm where to start?" Luffy mused to himself as he and Coby got the small row boat ready, not even regarding the sailors aboard the ship they where currently on, although by the looks of those sailors they probably would be happy to get Luffy off their ship.

"Wait, Luffy, can I come with you?" Kagome asked first then quickly tried to explain herself "I don't know anything about where I am and well-"Kagome's voice seemed to get softer as she fidgeted as she tried her hardest to come up with another reason for Luffy to take her with him.

"Of course you can" Luffy turned towards Kagome his infectious smile still planted widely on his face, this time thought it was directed at her.

"Really?" Kagome wasted no time in running over to Luffy and launching herself into the air and right onto Luffy, hugging him as tight as she could.

"Oh thank you so much Luffy!" Kagome had never felt so relived at one person's kindness nor amazed at how trusting Luffy could be. Although Kagome wondered briefly if maybe she was trusting Luffy to blindly, for all she knew he could be a really bad person, but one look at that smile had Kagome convinced there was no possible way Luffy could ever be evil, not even for a second.
