~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Miroku and Inuyasha were walking around through the winding white walls of third class. As they walked Miroku held a paper in his hand showing him where their room was. He muttered room numbers to himself as he looked. Soon they found their room and walked in, Inuyasha jumping onto the top bunk, silently declaring it his.

Miroku glared at him and punched him playfully, " Since when do you get top bunk?"

Inuyasha smirked, " Since now pervert"

Miroku's eyes twitched slightly, " I'm appalled Inuyasha...I'm merely trying to find a girl that will bear my child before my curse swallows me whole..."

Inuyasha looked at him flatly, " Yea right...like you could find any girl that would do that for you..."

"Humph..." Miroku put his bag of his belongings down beside his bed and laid down, wondering what he would do...and what would happen while he's on Titanic.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome walked around her room, paintings surrounding her on the floor.

"This room is too boring...it needs some color...something different..." said Kagome and she pulled a painting out and hung it on the wall.

As Kagome hung paintings on the wall Kouga walked in and looked at her, " Heh...I see you messing around with those finger paintings again...their such a waste of money..."

Kagome hung another painting on the wall, " No their not...their beautiful...and their different...that's what I like about them..."

"Humph...whatever you say...were going to be having Lunch soon...so finish up and head to the Dining area"

Kagome nodded and continued what she was doing.

'Hopefully they will forget about me so I won't have to go into that hell pit...'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome sat there, staring at her half eaten Lunch. Meanwhile, she half- listened to the conversation going on. The only person she even remotely liked was Kaede. At least she understood her true self...not the refined young lady she saw before her.

[Just a quick note...Kaede is Molly Brown...for all those who are clueless ^-^;;]

Kagome silently picked up a cigarette, put it in a holder and brought the tip to her lips. She sucked on it, but didn't inhale. She hated smoking...but the only reason she did it was to displease her mother and Kouga. She didn't like following their rules and being a good little girl like she was supposed to be.

Her mother leaned over and said quietly, " You know I hate that Kagome..."

Kagome turned and blew the smoke in her face, making her mother lean away. Kagome smiled sweetly, secretly pleased that she was making her mother angry. Kouga then leaned over and pulled the cigarette from its holder and smashed it out on a small plate.

"She knows..." said Kouga.

Kaede who had been watching them for the past few minutes, sensed what was bothering Kagome and realized why she was acting like this.

Kaede smiled at Kouga " She's a pistol Kouga...think you can handle her?"

Kouga looked at her his eyes holding an annoying feeling to them, " Well I guess I'll just have to watch what she reads now won't I?"

Kagome suddenly stood up quietly saying 'excuse me' and walking away towards the open deck.

Kouga sighed and sat there for a moment, before getting up and going after her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Miroku and Inuyasha sat on the lower open deck, talking with a young man...younger than Miroku and Inuyasha.

"So..." started Miroku " What was your name again?"

"Kohaku..." answered the boy.

Miroku shook hands with the boy, Inuyasha only nodding, showing assurance.

"So how did you end up on this ship Kohaku?" asked Miroku.

"My sister did, our family was killed by a traveling crime gang. She wanted me to have a better life, so she thought that if we went to America, then I would have a better future."

"Oh really..?? Your sister brought you here huh..." said Miroku suddenly interested at the mention of a sister, " What's your sisters name?"

"Sango" he answered.

Inuyasha sat there, half-listening half-falling asleep from boredom. Inuyasha then turned his head slightly and suddenly saw a girl walk out on the first class open deck to the white railing. She stared out at sea, almost in deep thought. Inuyasha's eyes widened and he leaned forward slightly. 'That girl...' he thought, 'looks just like...Kikyou. But...Kikyou's dead...' he thought silently.

Inuyasha sat there, still staring at her, thinking to himself. Miroku then noticed Inuyasha and he looked to where he was staring at, he sighed "Ahhh give it up Inuyasha...there's no way she'd even go for you...let alone talk to you..."

Inuyasha glared at Miroku, " Urusai! I'm not looking at her like that! She just...reminds me of someone..."

Miroku then sighed, "Oh...that..." he said quietly.

As Inuyasha stared, the girl suddenly looked in his direction, and made eye contact for a split second then turned away. Just then a man, who looked to be youkai walked up to her and grasped her hand, She looked to be arguing with him for a few seconds, and then walked away the man following her back inside.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome again, sat with her mother, Kouga and many others, eating dinner. She just sat there, her plate of food going untouched. Everyday, it was the same thing, nothing ever changed. It seemed almost...as if she were screaming at the top of her lungs, in a room full of people...but no one ever noticed. It was all about money...and how well you act, and dress. Everything was the same, and everybody was the same. It was like an endless parade...the same narrow-minded people, no one cared...or even noticed.

Before Kagome knew it, she was running down the dock, unknown tears falling down her face. Her brain screaming at her to stop and go back...back to her 'family' back to hell, her heart and her soul had, had enough torture. They wanted to be free...free to do as she pleased. And there was only one way to be free, only one escape; Kagome stopped at the back of the ship, gripping the white railing with trembling hands. She slowly picked up her heeled foot and stepped up, bar after bar, until she was on the other side. She turned around, and stared down at the cold, unforgiving waters below.

Tears ran faster down her face, she remembered when she used to live with her father...so free to do as she pleased, to show her true self, not some boring lady as she was now.

Slowly, her grip started to loosen on the white railing behind her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha was lying down on a wooden bench, staring up at the sky filled with stars. He had been trying all night to get that image of that girl he saw earlier today out of his head. As he was lying there, he suddenly heard pounding heeled footsteps running by. He glanced over, and saw it was that girl who he had stuck in his minds eye all day.

Inuyasha sat up slowly, wondering why she was running towards the back of the ship. Then, he suddenly smelled fresh salt...not that of the ocean...but, different.

She had been crying.

"Nani..." he said quietly to himself as he sat up slowly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome leaned over, her grip getting looser and looser. When she almost let go, a rough voice penetrated through her cloudy hazed mind.

"Oi.."

Her grip immediately tightened on the railing again. She turned around with an angry/confused look on her face.

"What do you want?" she asked.

That was when she noticed his white hair...and dog-ears?? 'He must be a youkai...' thought Kagome.

"Ya know...its pretty stupid that you're jumping off the back of the ship," said Inuyasha

"W-What!?! Are you calling me stupid??" asked Kagome with an angry look.

"Maybe"

Kagome glared at him, "How...How dare you say that to me! I can't believe you...talking to me like that! I'll do whatever I want! And YOU won't stop me!"

"Keh...I never said I'd stop you in the first place did I??"

"Why....Why y-" Kagome's sentence got cut off suddenly when her footing slipped and she fell down, gripping the railing with a death grip, screaming loudly through the entire thing.

Inuyasha instinctively rushed over and grabbed her hands, trying to pull her up. Suddenly she slipped again, her screaming getting louder. Inuyasha's ears were pressed to his head as her screams rang though his head loudly, giving him a headache.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A couple of officers suddenly heard the feminine screams and rushed towards the back of the ship, following their source.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha gripped her hands tightly and pulled her up. Soon she was over the railing, her foot got caught and they fell, Kagome landing on top of him. Inuyasha pushed her to the side and got up slowly, Kagome still laying there, trembling slightly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The 3 officers soon got to the back of the ship and rushed over. The first thing they saw was Kagome, her dressed had been ripped slightly it was bunched up around her knee's, showing her legs indecently. Her hands her by her chest, trembling slightly, her eyes wide. Then he saw Inuyasha, just getting up from his hands and knees a glaring look on his face.

The officer put two and two together and yelled at Inuyasha, " You stand back!!!! And don't move an inch!!!"

Inuyasha sighed annoyingly and got up, crossing his arms and looking angry.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha's face recoiled sharply as Kouga punched him across the face. "How DARE you touch MY fiancé!" Inuyasha looked away, ignoring him, "You look at me when I'm talking to you!!" yelled Kouga grabbing his chin and pulling his face so he looked at him.

"Kouga..." started Kagome.

"I should have you hanged for what you did!" yelled Kouga.

"Kouga!!" called Kagome.

Kouga looked at her, " What??"

"Kouga it was an accident!" said Kagome standing up, walking towards him.

Kouga looked baffled, "How could it have been an accident??"

"Well...I was leaning over the railing to look at the propellers, when I fell over, but Inuyasha saved me from falling."

The old officer looked at him, " Is that the truth?"

Inuyasha nodded, " Hai...it is..."

They let him go, Kouga went over to Kagome and started walking away with her when suddenly the officer mentioned, " How about a reward for the boy eh?"

"Give him a 20...that should do..." said Kouga.

Kagome looked at him, " Is that the coming rate for the woman you love?"

" Hmm...perhaps you could join us for dinner tomorrow?" asked Kouga.

Inuyasha looked at Kouga and nodded, "Yea"

Kouga then turned around and walk with Kagome muttering, " This will be interesting..."
