Part 9- Ambush on the Ship

Vix transported the group back to the beach.

"So, how are we supposed to get across the ocean?" asked Kagome.

"She could teleport us there," replied Selfina.

Vix shook her head. "I'm able to do that. There's a magic barrier around the island that I can't pass through. However, you five can go through it." She raised her hands to the sky. "I can make you something that will guide you there safely."

A strong wind picked up from out of nowhere. Vix began to glow as sprinkles of light scattered everywhere. The sprinkles of light found their way to the water, and started to combine into one huge ball of light, Everyone watched in amazement; shocked at what they saw when the light dimmed.

"I hope this ship will get you all to Moon Island," said Vix. "It is programmed to steer itself, so you won't get off course."

It was a huge wooden ship, with a big white sail that had a moon emblazoned on it, and four angel wings for pedals on both sides of the ship.

"It's awesome," Kagome said. "Thank you Vix."

She smiled. "I should be the one to thank you. What you five are doing goes beyond what I just did for you."

Everyone boarded the ship.

Vix looked up at the group. "I can't go any farther than this. It's up to you five to stop Sesshomaru and his henchmen from taking over. I pray you all will defeat him, and return safely." With that said She disappeared into thin air.

"I'm still a bit confused about all this," said Selfina. "But I'll do whatever it takes to save Sarah.

Kagome grinned. "And InuYasha."

The others nodded as the ship began to set sail and they started on an adventure they will never forget.

*************************************************************************************

The sun began to set as they had already made it halfway to Moon Island.

"The ship's monitor says we are close to the island," said Sephiroth as he sat in the control room.

"That's good," replied Kagome sitting beside him. "Say...where are the others? I haven't seen them in a while."

"Jet and Selfina are in the front I believe," he replied. "I'm not sure about Kenshin's whereabouts.

Kagome stood up. "Maybe we should go look for him. I have a feeling that something's not right on the ship."

Sephiroth got to his feet also. "Maybe..." He walked out of the room as Kagome followed.

The two went down the stairs that lead to the ship's bottom. It was extremely dark.

"Can you not cling to me?" asked Sephiroth as he kept close to the walls.

"I can't help it," Kagome replied. "I can't see a thing down here. But I think there's a light coming from the room downstairs."

"I see it," he said.

When they reached the last step; Sephiroth opened the door slowly. Their eyes widen.

"My god," said Kagome. "Who is that?"

What they were looking at was two people. A boy and a girl. There faces hidden by the shadows.

"I don't know," Sephiroth replied. "But-"

His words were cut off when he and Kagome saw another person in front of the two strangers.

"Kenshin!" said Kagome smiling. "But wait...there's something wrong with him..."

It was Kenshin who stood in the front. He was breathing rapidly with parts of his clothing torn and his sword tightly in his hand. His eyes and face expression looked different from his innocent expression. Now he looked like a whole another person; an evil person.

Kagome started to walk over to Kenshin, but was stopped when the two strangers, turned around to look at her. She gasped. "Inu...InuYasha and Sarah..."

Sephiroth smirked. "So, that's InuYasha and Sarah. It seems there's something wrong with them."

"There are still under Sesshomaru's spell," Kenshin said. "They found a way on this ship and attacked me when I was down here."

"Is that true InuYasha?" asked Kagome.

The girl stepped fourth. "InuYasha and I were sent here by Lord Sesshomaru under Yayamie's orders to stop you from reaching the island."

InuYasha jumped in the air and raised his hand up aiming at Kagome. "Iron Rever Soul Stealer!"

Sephiroth moved Kagome out of the way of the blast that came from InuYasha's attack when it made contact with the ship's floor.

"Thanks," said Kagome looking over at the big hole that was made in the floor.

Sephiroth took out his Masamune. "Don't thank me just yet..."

*********************************************************************************

Back upstairs in front of the ship; Jet hung over the edge looking at the blue salt water.

Selfina walked over to him. "Hey Jet."

"Oh, hi Selfina," he said. "What's up?"

She looked down at the water also. "Nothing. You look lonely over here by yourself so I'm gonna keep you company."

"Thanks," he replied with a smiled. "So, what do you think of all this? I mean seeing yourself following in someone's footsteps."

Selfina sighed. "I dunno. It's seeing everything in a different way sort of. Back at home; when things went wrong or when Naraku and others tried to cause chaos...Kagome, InuYasha, and my other friends always handle everything while I stayed in the back; trying not to get in their way. Now, it seems that I have a chance to help out for once, and I'm going to everything that's in my power to do so."

Jet nodded. "I see. All of us are going to do whatever we can to help."

"Yeah," said Selfina. "Well, that's it for the serious talk." She looked at him and smiled. "What are you going to do when all this is over?"

"I want to see my grandmother," he replied. "She moved to Tokyo. I haven't seen he in a while."

"I live in Tokyo!" said Selfina. "Well not IN TOKYO, but close to it. I used to live there, so I know that place like the back of my hand. Maybe when you go there; I can show you around. There's lots of places to go."

Jet smiled. "Yeah, I'd like that. Thanks Sel."

She smiled back. "You're welcome."

The moment was suddenly broken by a loud scream.

"That sounds like Kagome's voice," said Jet. "Something's wrong."

Coming up the entrance that lead downstairs were Kagome, Kenshin, and Sephiroth running towards them.

"Move move move!" shouted Kagome. "Here they come!!"

"Here who come?" asked Selfina. "Am I missing something here?"

The roof to the downstairs entrance exploded. InuYasha and Sarah jumped out of the smoke that came from the explosion.

Selfina gasped. "S-Sarah? Now I know I'm missing something..."

The two landed on the floor in front of the gang.

"There's nowhere to run," said InuYasha. "If you give up now; we promise to make your deaths quick."

Everyone aimed their weapons at the two intruders.

"It seems they have chosen the slow and painful death," Sarah said. "Good choice." She looked down at the water. "Show yourself...Triggu!"

A huge blast came from the water causing the waves to rock the ship. Sarah and InuYasha levitated in the sky as the others lost their balance and fell to the floor.

"Things just get worst and worst for us," said Kagome holding on to the ship's pole.

"And it's going to get even worst," Jet said holding onto Selfina and the pole as well.

Sephiroth and Kenshin were lying on the floor.

Sarah smiled evilly. "I'd like you all to meet my pet octopus, Triggu. Isn't she cute?"

A large purple octopus that seemed larger than the average octopus came halfway out of the water and wrapped four of its tentacles around the ship.

"That thing is ugly as hell," replied Selfina. "That thing makes Kagome's dog, Chee-Chee look pretty, and trust me...that thing is u-g-l-y."

"Hey, you said Chee-Chee was cute," said Kagome.

Selfina smiled. "I only said that to make you happy."

Kagome glared over at her. "Gee thanks..."

Sarah growled. "So, you think my octopus is ugly, huh?"

"As hell," Selfina replied.

"Well, I'm going to show you what my ugly as hell Triggu can do." She looked at the octopus. "TAKE HER UNDER!!"

Triggu grabbed Selfina with Jet still holding on to her, and dragged them underwater.

Kagome let go of the pole and ran to the edge of the ship. "Selfina...Jet!"

InuYasha grinned. "It seems Triggu has everything under control Me and Sarah will on our way back to the island now."

The two disappeared.

"We'll deal with them later," said Kenshin getting to his feet. "We must help Selfina and Jet."

Kagome nodded. "Yeah you're right. What do we do?"

"I noticed something shiny on top of that monster's head," Sephiroth replied. "Kenshin and I will go and help the two. You will stay here and wait for Triggu to jump out of the water. I think you will know what to do from there."

"I will?" she asked. "Hey wait!"

Sephiroth and Kenshin had already jumped into the water.

Kagome sighed. "I guess I'll have to wait for whatever that's going to happen..."
