CHAPTER 12 – Dress as A Boy!

Enjoy~!

Disclaimer: In no way or form do I own InuYasha or ideas from Pirates of the Caribbean. I own only the plot. SO YOU LEECHES BACK OFF! *growls*

oOoOoOo

Kagome slowly roused from her sleep as she heard two voices in conversation.

"You think the wench is alright, Perry?" a gruff, but kind voice asked.

"Aye, just unconscious." Perry replied to Pin.

The young woman opened her eyes and saw two pirate crewmembers, looking at her. Instinctively, she kicked Perry in the face and slapped Pin.

She gasped when they fell to the group and realized she had knocked them unconscious.

"Oh God! What have I done?" she thought frantically, thinking that she may have killed them.

"Calm down, child. Ye have not severely hurt them." Came the reassuring voice of Kaede.

Kagome breathed a sigh of relief. She then began to think, if Naraku could control her, he could make her kill herself as punishment. Kaede saw the look of fear on her face.

"Ease your thoughts, child. Naraku could not control you, nor can he do ye harm if he does not have me." Kaede told her.

The young miko felt better after hearing that.

"Now what am I gonna do with these guys?" She sweatdropped.

Kaede thought for a while.

"Take the smaller of the two's clothing and dress as a boy. That way you will be able to join the crew of a ship. In no time, you'll be able to back to that 'Silverclaw' fellow you keep mumbling about in your sleep." She smirked.

Kagome blushed. I talk in my sleep?!

Shaking her head, she asked, "Dress up as a man? Isn't that illegal?"

"Girl, you've already associated with pirates and helped one of the most feared pirates on the seven seas. I think dressing up as a man and boarding a pirate ship wouldn't even matter anymore." The old woman reasoned.

"Right…" Kagome replied. She took the clothes of Pin, leaving him only in a shirt and shorts, and took Perry's tricorne-hat She concealed the Shikon No Tama around her neck under her clothes and bravely walked into the streets of Port Corsair.

She was only a bit shocked at what she saw. Pirates in a fistfight, one guy had shot another, three women were whoring up to a man. She felt disgusted, yet she wasn't very surprised at their aggressiveness.

She had already witnessed a certain half-demon's hot temper.

Kagome stepped into a bar and tried to eavesdrop on any pirate that was looking for a new crewmember.

She ordered 3 shots of rum and doing so; she got lucky enough to overhear two crewmembers.

"Yeah, we need a replacement for Hakashi." One said.

"Poor guy…best on our crew. Too bad he was shot, ne?" the other replied.

Kagome drank in her shot of rum carefully, while listening in to their conversation.

"I don't think we need someone with much experience. Just someone." She heard them say.

Mustering up courage, she turned to the two men and spoke.

"I'll join yer crew…" she said with a hint of confidence, trying her best to sound like a boy.

The two looked at 'him' like 'he' was crazy or had two heads.

"Ye sure about that lad?" one with curly black hair asked.

"Yeah? Are ye sure yer up for a ship like the Kitsu?" one wearing a red bandana continued.

Kagome rolled her eyes flippantly. "Trust me, with what I've been through, I think I can take it."

OOoOoOo

"Port Corsair, sir!" Hobo, *cough* Hojo, rather, called to his Captain. (A/N: That never gets old for me XD)

"Alrighty! Prepare to make port!" InuYasha yelled to his crew.

They all responded with an "Aye captain!" or a "Yes sir!"

When they made port, Hiten and Manten were left to guard the Tetsusaiga while the others either went to a bar, got into a fight, talked with some friends, or made their way to a whorehouse.

As Miroku and InuYasha headed towards a bar, InuYasha heard a conversation.

"It's true, Shiki! Some girl really did escape the Arachnid! And alive too!" he heard one of them say.

"A girl? Are you serious? No ordinary woman could escape Naraku." The one presumed to be Shiki answered.

The two continued their conversation to the bar where InuYasha followed them, leaving Miroku with Sango and Kirara.

"What's he up to?" Sango asked.

"I don't know. Eavesdropping on random people and following them?" Miroku replied. "That's not…usual of him."

"I would expect that from you but InuYasha?" she whispered the last part so no one could hear his real name.

"Now, maybe he has his reas-wait a second! Hey, what's that supposed to mean?"

Sango only giggled. "Oh nothing…" she smirked evilly.

OOoOoOo

Kagome left the bar following the two pirates who would show her to the ship, still pretending to be a boy.

"Cap'n! Some kiddie here says he wants to join the crew!" the one with curly black hair said.

The captain of the Kitsu heard them and climbed off his ship, which was currently anchored to Port Corsair.

Yet again, another Youkai captain. This one was a young kitsune youkai, however and Kagome thought he resembled Kouga a bit. He had strawberry blonde hair put up in a ponytail and wore a red bandana. He had Kouga's look, but he seemed…"softer" than the wolf youkai. Heh, figure that! A "softy" pirate, haha.

"This one looks like a girl!" the kitsune captain remarked, popping Kagome out of her thoughts.

Kagome gaped. She didn't know if she should be insulted or not, but put on her best male imitation voice.

"Man, if you want someone else, I'll go, but don't you come crying to me when you get no one wanting to join yer crew." She hissed.

The two pirate crewmembers that brought her here gave her a look of surprise.

The captain only smirked. "Pfft…I like your attitude. Can you atleast fight?" he asked.

"Um…n-no…" 'he' mumbled.

The Kitsune raised an eyebrow.

"You're a pirate and you don't know how to fight?" he scoffed and chuckled.

Kagome quickly thought of something to cover her up. She needed to get on a ship. It was the only way she knew to get back on the Tetsusaiga.

"I….I can shoot a bow and arrow!" she yelled, remembering all the times when she had learned archery just for her mother. Apparently, their family had a talent for archery, but it was mainly the females of the family who were stars of this talent.

"Well…atleast she knows how to use a weapon." The man with a red bandana shrugged.

The kitsune only smiled. "Fine. The lil' girly boy can join."

"I am Captain Raisu, a fox kitsune. What kind of youkai are you? Or are you even a youkai?" he asked.

"I'm a…" she tried to think of a demon that resembled humans the most.

Cmon demon books! Give me something here! She thought as her mind raced and searched for a demon she had read about.

"I'm a demon of the hair." She lied.

Raisu raised an eyebrow.

"You're related to Yura of the Hair?" he questioned.

Yura of the….who?! she thought.

"Uh…no but she's not the only hair demon you know!"

"That's true…" Raisu responded, scratching his chin. "Didn't one of the prostitutes that Yuriko brought in was a hair demon?"

The two men nodded.

"Alrighty…and what be your name?"

"Kag…" she paused. "Kag…Kageromaru Taioku." Lie, yet again.

Kagome was practically living a full out lie now. First her gender, now her name. Raisu smiled.

"Welcome aboard the Kitsu Mr. Kageromaru Taioku." And with that, the fox captain left.

"Alright! We get a new buddy!" one with curly brown hair exclaimed. "I'm Sai, and my pal over there is," he pointed to the pirate next to him with a red bandana. "is Rai."

"Yo," greeted Rai.

"Alright Kago! We'll show ya around the ship! She's a mighty fine vessel, is she not?" Sai laughed.

'Kageromaru' made a fake chuckle. Not as great as the Tetsusaiga… she thought bitterly.

As Kagome boarded the Kitsu, she thought, how in the world was she gonna find 'Silverclaw'? This ship could go ANYWHERE. It could take her to Antarctica for all she knew! She just hoped that a miracle would happen and bring her to the hanyou.

OOoOoOo

"So where is she?" hissed a certain dog-hanyou.

"Yo…w-we only heard a rumor! We didn't know a think, Captain S-silverclaw!"

InuYasha had scared the men talking about Kagome's escapade, shitless.

"Who told you the rumor?"

The two pointed to a man across the bar with a cup of rum and a blue bandana staring at the three.

"Where is she?" InuYasha growled menacingly.

"That guy told me!" he pointed to the bartender.

'Silverclaw' dropped the man and ran straight up to the other one.

"I'ma ask you once, and I'ma ask you ONLY once. WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?!" his voice boomed.

The bartender squeaked in fear and pointed to another man. This man, however, spat at the bartender, ratting him out.

"Yer the one who be spitting gossip!" the man said.

The man walked up to the bartender and laugh at him. This guy seemed to be drunk.

Then, out of no where, the staggering drunkard sent his fist flying for the bartender, but hit InuYasha instead. Said Hanyou sputtered angrily.

"Bastard!" he yelled and tackled the drunkie to the ground.

InuYasha sent a fist at him, while the intoxicated human kicked at him. The hanyou dodged his kick by ducking, which caused the drunkie to hit another man, leaving him with a black eye.

A pirate next to him laughed at his swollen eye, but was cut short by a punch.

Instantly, the whole bar got into a riot. Fists hitting faces, legs kicking guts, teeth and pistols shot in the air. By then, InuYasha had knocked the drunken man unconscious and was now sneaking past the riot out the door.

As soon as he felt the cool, fresh air hit his face, he yelled, "Yeesh! One helluva riot!"

He turned his head when he heard a noise. 'Silverclaw's triangular dog ears flicking about under his hat & bandana. The noise grew louder and followed it. He turned the corner to come face to face with none other than….

……

…………

…………………..the lecherous former-monk known as Miroku.

InuYasha sweatdropped when he saw the snoring monk. He didn't fail to notice the red hand marks on his face as well as some lipstick on his forehead.

So, houshi here's been messing with the ladies again? InuYasha sighed, beginning to pick up Miroku, latching his arms with the sleeping first mate, dragging him towards the ship.

"To think…" InuYasha strained to drag the heavy monk, "that you were actually a monk before…" he gasped. "God, what are you eating?! You're so effing heavy!"

oOoOoOo

"So she's been here?" Kouga asked.

"She sure has! Dressin' up as a boy too! I knew she wudn't no man! I could smell it on 'er. She's too pretty to be a man anyhow." A man with a Cajun accent replied. "She boarded the Kitsu I believe. She's a tricky vixen ain't she?"

Kouga chuckled. "Thank you Sid." Kouga tipped his tricorne hat at him and left.

"Yer' welcome Kouga! How're my two dipstick nephews Ginta and Hakkaku by the way?" Sid asked as the wolf youkai left.

"Pretty good, Sid! As dipstick-ish as usual!" was Kouga's last reply.

OOoOoOo

Naraku slammed a fist on the desk.

"Damn her…" he muttered.

Kanna came into the cabin. She said not a word and only held up a mirror. An image appeared of Kagome, but it came very short. Naraku only got a glimpse of the young miko, though she wasn't in her usual clothes.

"Kanna," he called her. Said little girl tilted her head towards him.

"Tell Musou to change our course and head to Port Corsair."

Kanna only nodded and left.

Naraku sat silently in his chair until a painful pulse of energy shot though him.

"Urgh…" he coughed.

Standing up, he frantically searched for a blue bottle, that was supposed to be on his shelf. When his eyes didn't find the bottle, he screeched in rage.

"DAMN THAT MIKO!!!!!!!!!"

A/N: OOOH THE PLOT THICKENS. I'm sorry I didn't make Kagome and InuYasha meet at Port Corsair, and all of you are just BEGGING for atleast another kiss or some sort of intimacy, but trust me, all of that WILL come in time.

Till' then, bear with me. C:
