Hidden Treasure

The wonders of blackmailing





Inuyasha pushed his way through the crowd of people admiring the little shard. He finally reached Kagome.

"Where'd you find that jewel?! I demand to know." He yelled at her so loud it almost made her fall over.

"Well. maybe if you ask nicely I tell you!" she yelled back just as loud. Inuyasha was quite shocked no one ever yelled back to him in a long time, except when he was little.

"Fine." he quickly changed his scowl to a smile and his voice changed slightly. "May I ask, where did you find that jewel?

Everyone was shocked at his gentleman like manner and stared at him open mouthed and wide eyed. Kagome was shocked to she heard that pirates are mean rude people, and she encountered quite a lot to know that was true but this is the first time she saw a nice pirate even if it was an act.

"Well. will you answer my question?" he asked patiently.

"Uh. I- I found it on the ocean floor." She answered quietly

"How did you go all the way to the bottom? And where's the rest of the pieces!" his act started to fade and his smile started to disappear but he tried to keep up the act "this is hard" he thought

"Uh. well I don't know Inuyasha's shark crushed it and."

"Inuyasha's shark!" he shouted, "what are you talking about!"

"His shark crushed it that's why I have to look for him and teach him a lesson."

Inuyasha stared at her and remembered that she didn't know his name yet. He ignored it and decided to play along a bit. He noticed that people were starting to tell her who he was so he had to think fast.

"Hey lady, don't you know that he is I-" someone cried and Inuyasha quickly cut him off.

"I am Inupirate. I will gladly help you look for that wretched Inuyasha." He said smiling

"Oh you will Thank you Inupirate!' she clasped her hands together and smiled "now I can teach him a lesson, never mess with a mermaid am I right?" she grinned and notice people were staring at her she looked around, and noticed her mistake. "Opps."

"What did you just say?" Inuyasha looked at her with extreme curiosity.

"Umm. I said mer. merchant, yea never mess with a merchant." She smiled and hoped that they would buy it but it didn't seem to work.

"I heard you the first time. but. if you're a mermaid then where's your fish tail."

She put her head down "it's a flipper." she said softly.

"Yea whatever fin, flipper. who cares! Where is your tail?"

"I don't have one anymore."

"What?" he looked at her in disbelief. But Inuyasha was a guy who didn't like to ask to many questions so he left it at that and left her alone. He was curious about her tail but he was to busy thinking about the conversation. "I don't even have a shark!" he said to himself.









"Where are we headed to Sango?" Kagome asked her.

"Oh. well we're headed to the market to buy some supplies and. get some more pirates to join?"

"Why do you need more pirates? Isn't this enough?" she looked around at the messy bunch.

"Well. no because once we get to port some of the pirates will be quitting." Miroku said, "man I need a drink." he said quietly and left.









"We arrived at port gather your belongings and go to the captains quarters to get your money!" Miroku yelled at the top of his lungs

Everyone started to go in and out of places people started arguing about who has whose stuff and some people started fights, Sango and Kagome tried to stop everyone from overreacting and starting fights.

"Man, do they always do this?" Kagome asked as she was pushing the angry mob of pirates

"Do what?"

"Do this! Act crazy and stuff"

"Oh umm. yea" she calmly nodded her head.

"Oh." Kagome looked around for Inupirate, she found him at the captain's quarters handing out little bags of money.

Inuyasha had some thoughts on his mind. like what he should do about that girl. She wanted to teach him a lesson he was wondering what he should do about it and what the lesson was.









"Awww. Sango can we go please, please, PLEASE!" Kagome kept bugging Sango,

"NO! Ask Miroku or Kouga! I'm busy ya know!" she said while tying up the ropes.

"Fine." she made a face at Sango behind her back and left to ask Miroku. if he wasn't drunk and Kouga if he wasn't gambling against other pirates. She walked around the top deck and didn't find them. She thought they might be in the sleeping quarters.

"YOU CHEATER!"

"Am not I'm just very skilled"

"That must be Kouga and Miroku." she said and ran towards the sound. She soon came to a game room with cards and other games she never saw or heard of.

"I won fair and square no hidden cards or anything," Kouga yelled over Miroku who was searching him.

"Ya well I don't see how you can get a royal flush so fast in this game! I drew one card and boom! You got a royal flush I just can't believe it!" Miroku cried, "you're supposed to wait a bit then you make your move!"

"How would you know huh?" Kouga said looking at Miroku suspiciously

"How would I know?! Well I done it quite a few times and no one ever accused me of cheating." Miroku said with his head up in the air. "Opps. Kouga buddy ol' pal how about we forget ever having this conversation hmm?" Miroku smiled a very false smile and you can see him sweating a mile away

"Oh ho ho ho I found a little secret. I'll keep your little secret if you become my gambling partner. You split your money you got from gambling and give half to me" Kouga grinned

"WHAT! Give YOU 50% of my earnings. in your dreams! What do I get huh?"

"You get me keeping my mouth shut. but if you prefer me telling everyone your little secret I don't mind either way works for me."

"Err. how bout this I give you 1oo yen once a week."

"Hmm. deal!" they shook their hands and they still didn't notice that Kagome was still standing in the doorway.

"Umm. guys?" Kagome called. Now knowing that these two people cheat will never play a game against them.

"Oh hi Kagome wanna play a game with us!" they both said at the same time and smiled.

"No thanks. will one of you guys go with me on shore its boring here!" Kagome quickly out on a puppy dogface with the eyes and all.

"Nah we don't have time for that." Kouga said ignoring the puppy dogface.

"Same here." Miroku cried over his shoulder

"Fine. time to black mail you then" she grinned and walked over.

"How come you guys always win at this game do you guys CHEAT by any chance?" She smiled because they both flinched at the word Cheat.

"W-well, NO OF COURSE NOT!" they both started to sweat and they looked at each other nervously.

"Oh. really cause I noticed two people on this ship CHEAT before." they flinched again and she grinned 'this is pretty fun.' she thought

"FINE. name your price." They both sighed in defeat.

"Just bring me to shore for a while and I'll tell you your price after."

"Ok. then what are you waiting for. get moving!" Kouga yelled as he exited the door.









"Why do you wanna go here anyway?" Miroku asked as they left the ship.

"Oh. just to ask around." she looked down and tried to change the subject. "So. how long have you guys worked for Inupirate?"

"About a good 3 years. I think?" Miroku answered

"Umm. I dunno 1 year maybe I'm going to quit once I earn enough money and make a crew of my own. the only reason I joined that dogface is because he finds so much treasure so easily." Kouga said and smiled

"Oh. what about you Miroku you going to work for Inupirate forever or do you have other plans?"

"dunno. as long as Sangos there I'm there I guess but. don't tell her that k?

"Ok" she smiled and also noticed that she had a little trouble walking the sun going to almost set soon and the full moon would be up in a few hours. 'What's wrong my legs feel funny.' she thought









That's all for now I think this was a pretty long chapter did I mention Naraku yet I forgot. I don't know what to call the next chapter but stay tuned
