Chapter 1: Prologue Enter Kagome Higurashi, Daughter of the Captain!
^^Miss Higurashi?^^
Kagome^s enjoyment of the quiet sea at night was interrupted by one of the sailors onboard her father^s ship called the Sengoku Jidai. Recognizing the voice of the sailor Hojo, Kagome sighed wearily before plastering a smile on her voice and turning around. Hojo was smiling at her, his brown hair tied back in a small pony tail. He was wearing brown breeches and a white shirt.
^^Hello Hojo. I was just enjoying some fresh air.^^
^^Oh, I am sorry for interrupting you.^^
Kagome assured him that she didn^t mind before turning back to the sea and resting her elbows on the railing. The wind gently tugged at her black hair, which was elegantly tied up in intricate knots on top of her head. She was wearing a simple green gown along with matching emerald earrings.
^^You look stunning,^^ Hojo blurted out before blushing dark red.
Kagome blushed herself and thanked him.
The two stood in silence before Hojo announced that he had to get back to his work and that she should get some rest. He walked away still gazing at Kagome and not watching where he was going causing him to trip over a wooden bucket filled with water, soaking his breeches and his shirt. He blushed upon hearing Kagome giggle before stuttering like an idiot and running off.
Kagome stared across the sea still giggling occasionally about Hojo^s antics. The boy had refused to leave her alone since the moment she had gotten onboard the ship. Her father, who was captain of the vessel, had taken fifteen year old Kagome on a trip to see one of the neighboring islands. Captain Higurashi worked for the British Navy in the Caribbean. He conducted trade with different islands and was very wealthy.
Despite all of the money and suitors Kagome had, she often found herself longing for freedom and adventures on the sea. Kagome loved the sea. Before her mother died, her father would always take his wife and daughter on his trips. On nights like this, when it was almost pitch dark, and the only light was from the lanterns on each of the three masts and the moon and stars, Kagome^s mother would stay outside with her for awhile and point out all the different constellations.
Kagome felt herself growing tired and decided to go in soon. Even most of the sailors had gone into the cabins below to get a good night^s rest. She looked up when the ship was suddenly covered in shadow. Expecting to see a cloud covering the moon, Kagome was shocked to find the sails of a ship; the *black* sails of a ship. She only knew of one ship with black sails. . .
The Black Pearl. . .
But that was only supposed to be a legend. . .a legend about a cursed ship. . .run by a crew of horrible demons! The wind was pushing the ship along at an incredible speed. A black flag on the highest mast unfurled, revealing a skull with two bones, the symbol of pirates. Kagome shuddered and stared in disbelief as the ship vanished into the night making her wonder if it had just been an illusion.
It had seemed real though. . .even leaving a trail in it^s wake. It couldn^t have been an illusion! Kagome hurried off to bed. Tomorrow morning she was going to tell her father all about the ship she saw.
~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~
^^What do you mean you don^t believe me?! Father! Will you stop laughing?!^^
Upon hearing her tale about the Black Pearl her father had burst into laughter and seemed close to tears now. Kagome fumed silently as the man continued to chuckle heartily.
^^Kagome, dear, I have heard many of your farfetched stories, but this is the best! The Black Pearl, the ship that was cursed and run by demons, doesn^t exist! You can not possibly expect me to believe that you saw the Black Pearl! Nice try though, sweetie.^^
^^But I did see it father!^^
Kagome^s father just chuckled once more before going back to running the ship leaving his daughter trembling in fury.
^I^ll show him! I^ll show everyone! I *did* see the Black Pearl! I am going to prove it too! Then we^ll see whose laughing!^
~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~
Kagome was walking home with her friend Sango while ranting about how no one believed that she saw the Black Pearl.
^^My own father did not even believe me! Isn^t this just horrible Sango?^^
Sango bit her lip hesitantly, not wanting to upset her friend. Sango, daughter of a wealthy British Army Commander, had known Kagome since they were children. Sango was very much like Kagome. She also had black hair, though much longer and not as wavy, but her eyes were a warm brown, as opposed to Kagome^s unusual blueish-gray. Like Kagome, Sango wished for more freedom.
On this particular day, both girls had walked around town for awhile. They were forced to wear their usual heavy gowns with corsets and their hair pinned up underneath a bonnet. Kagome had been very excited to see Sango, eager to be able to tell someone her story without being scoffed at. Sango just didn^t have the heart to disappoint her friend so she had to answer carefully.
^^Well. . .the idea of you seeing the Black Pearl *is* a *little* farfetched. . .^^
Upon hearing this, Kagome glared menacingly.
^^but of course I believe you!^^ Sango finished hurriedly.
^^Great!^^ Kagome said, cheering up immediately. ^^That means you won^t mind helping me prove it.^^
^^But. . .^^
^^There is your house Sango! We will start planning tomorrow! Bye!^^
Sango sighed and shook her head before going inside. Once Kagome got an idea into her head, there was no stopping her.
~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~
Kagome brushed past the people on the street impatiently, eager to get home in time for dinner.
^^Tomorrow, we are going to figure out a way to find the Black Pearl!^^
^^Aye! Ye be wantin to know about the Black Pearl?^^
Kagome stopped and blinked, looking around for who had talked to her. Her eyes fell upon an old woman with long gray hair and an eye-patch. She wore a burgundy dress covered by a white apron. Kagome approached the woman cautiously, noting that no one else was around now that she had turned onto a side street.
^^You know about the Black Pearl?^^ she asked.
The woman nodded and leaned in closer, as if she was afraid of being overheard.
^^That ship, the Black Pearl. . .I seen it I have. Appeared out of the night without warning and vanished just the same. The story of the Black Pearl is not one for the faint of heart. Are ye sure ye want to hear, lass?^^
Kagome nodded eagerly. Upon seeing this, the old woman cleared her throat and started her tale.
^^The Black Pearl used to be a pirate ship, run by a man named Naraku. Naraku and his crew did what was expected of pirates, which is of course, search for treasure. They got their treasure too, they did. But their own greed betrayed them when they came across the Shikon Jewel.^^
^^Now this was no ordinary jewel! It was said to have the magic to grant any wish. The greedy Naraku wished for immortality and riches for him and his crew but something went wrong. The Shikon Jewel did not approve of his selfish intentions and decided to curse him and his crew, causing them to turn into hideous demons. Then, the jewel split into many pieces and flew into different directions.^^
^^It is said that in order for the crew to return to their original state, they must collect all of the shards to the Shikon Jewel. Until they do, they will be forced to wander the seas, shunned by all humanity and cursed to remain demon forever.^^
Kagome^s eyes were wide after hearing the story.
^^D-did you see one of the demons?^^
The old woman nodded. ^^Aye, I saw one of them. . .standing at the bow of the ship. He had long, silvery hair, fangs and claws as long as the night is black. Worst of all, he had furry ears atop his head, like some kinda mangy mutt! Scared me pants off!^^
Pushing her skepticism aside Kagome asked where she could find the Black Pearl.
^^Sorry lassy, but no one finds the Black Pearl, *it* finds *them.*^^
Kagome trembled slightly at the harshness of the woman^s voice. ^^W- well thank you Miss. . .^^
^^Kaede.^^
^^Thank you for your assistance Miss Kaede.^^
^^Anytime, Kagome.^^
Kagome who had turned and begun to walk away quickly faced Kaede again.
^^Wait, how did you know my name?!^^
The young girl was faced by only thin air. Shivering in fear, Kagome hurried home.
A/N: First chapter! Short I know, but I just want to see if anyone is interested in the idea before I actually get into the story. If I don^t get some reviews, I^ll just scratch the idea and move onto something else so if you like it, review! Thanks for reading! And if anyone knows how to get rid of the weird symbols that are replacing my quotation marks and apostrophes please tell me. This never happened before and it^s annoying me. _
